An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

Due to the large number of starving ghosts in the Sakura Kingdom and the limited supernatural powers of Chiba Genma, the plan was divided into multiple batches for execution.

"In the first batch, we will drive the fifty fastest-growing, starving monsters to the Dragon Kingdom to test the waters."

Chiba Genma coldly assigned the task: "And the coordinates of our teleportation are located near the 749th Bureau branch in Tianhai City, Dragon Kingdom!"

……

In the Eternal Night Wasteland, within the Black Pine Forest of the lord's mansion, Lu Xueyao had already neatly piled the thousand-year-old black pine wood she had collected in the main hall.

"Buzz—"

A ripple appeared in the void, and Lu Li's projection appeared precisely on time.

Without wasting words, Lu Li reached out and grabbed, and the large piece of black pine wood rapidly decomposed and fused under his Emperor's Law.

Flames ignited at his fingertips, and using heaven and earth as a furnace, he precisely chopped and shaped these extremely yin woods, ultimately forging them into twelve dark red array flags exuding a strong bloody stench, and a core array plate engraved with complex magic runes.

Lu Li's movements were fluid and graceful. Although he was only refining a basic Blood Transformation Array, his natural and almost Dao-like technique still stunned countless viewers in the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room.

"It's so smooth... I feel like I'm not watching a survival live stream, but watching a top-level immortal cultivator give a live tutorial on weapon crafting."

"I wonder just how incredibly powerful this array, forged from divine wood, truly is?"

What exactly happened to Lu Xueyao's brother after his death?

As the last array pattern was inscribed, Lu Li raised his hand and waved it.

"go!"

The twelve array flags transformed into twelve streaks of blood-red light, precisely landing at twelve key locations on the outer walls of the lord's mansion, disappearing deep into the ground.

The core array plate landed steadily on the stone table in the center of the hall.

"Buzz—!"

The grand formation was activated, and an invisible, pale red light curtain instantly enveloped the entire lord's mansion.

With the outermost Soul Refining Array, the Lord's Mansion at this moment is practically an impregnable steel fortress in this perilous wasteland.

The moment the great formation was completed.

[National Fortune Announcement!]

[Lu Xueyao, the chosen one of the Dragon Kingdom, has successfully crafted the Blood Transformation Array!]

[Triggering a 100x national fortune manifest critical strike!]

[Reward for Manifestation: 1000 complete Blood Array Sets (including array plate and array flags)! Successfully manifested in the Dragon Kingdom's 749th Bureau Treasury!]

Upon hearing this announcement, the projection dissipated, leaving only a wisp of Lu Li's consciousness residing in Lu Xueyao's sea of ​​consciousness. A strange look of surprise flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

"Even a formation that I casually crafted can be directly scanned by this system and trigger a critical hit to copy?"

"The way this system works is quite interesting."

Since the system had already distributed the finished product, Lu Li decided to go all the way and do a good deed.

He immediately said to Lu Xueyao in his mind, "Xueyao, now that the formation has materialized back into the Dragon Kingdom, you should recite the method of setting up and using this Blood Transformation Formation for ordinary people, so that the people of the Dragon Kingdom can hear it."

"clear."

Lu Xueyao understood immediately. As if talking to herself, she said in a clear voice, "The method of setting up this Blood Transformation Array is quite simple. Even a Ghost Master without much supernatural power can easily operate it."

"Simply place the array plate at the core of the defense, and bury the twelve array flags underground in specific directions."

Finally, the person setting up the array only needs to drip their own blood into the array plate to activate it.

"However, this Blood Transformation Array has a specific target; it only counters monsters with substantial flesh and blood bodies, such as the Starving Monster and the False Human Monster."

It is ineffective against invisible shadows or rule-based anomalies.

Lu Xueyao paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the effect, if a strange creature with flesh and blood enters the formation's range, the formation will immediately suppress its ability to move."

Immediately afterwards, the formation will activate its blood-transforming mechanism, gradually and completely dissolving and refining its flesh and blood.

"Ultimately, these refined monsters will condense into a crystal called Blood Beads."

These blood beads are a miraculous medicine that can save lives. After taking them, even the most severe external injuries can heal rapidly in a short time.

This explanation, which can be described as a manual for the formation, was transmitted back to the Dragon Kingdom without missing a single word.

At the headquarters of Bureau 749, Shen Xingzhou's eyes blazed with unprecedented joy and excitement after hearing these words.

With this explanation, the thousand Blood Transformation Arrays that have materialized will no longer be just decorations, but real weapons of mass destruction that can be put into use immediately to protect the country!

"Chen Yan!"

Shen Xingzhou's voice was resolute and unquestionable: "Immediately allocate manpower and set up these thousand Blood Transformation Arrays as quickly as possible."

Remember, the top priority is all the 749th Bureau branch bases across the country!

The reason why the branch offices were given the highest priority was because Shen Xingzhou was well aware of the implications.

Currently, the main method used by the Dragon Kingdom to combat the supernatural is imprisonment. Therefore, the underground branches of the 749 Bureau across the country have built huge containment facilities, which imprison countless supernatural beings that are difficult to deal with.

This is equivalent to burying supernatural nuclear bombs in the center of the city. If they are attacked from the outside or the containment fails, the risks are incalculable.

"Immediately deploy Blood Transformation Arrays around all branch bases, following the method provided by Lu Xueyao!"

Shen Xingzhou's eyes shone brightly: "With this formation, at least we no longer need to fear the invasion of troublesome physical monsters like the Starving Ghost!"

Shen Xingzhou added, "Also, send Xu Jingming to Tianhai City. After he completes the mission, he can temporarily oversee Tianhai City!"

Chen Yan's expression also turned slightly serious, realizing the importance the bureau chief attached to Tianhai City.

After all, Xu Jingming had been on missions outside the headquarters and hadn't even attended the last headquarters meeting. He was practically the pillar of the 749 Bureau. And now, they've actually put Xu Jingming in charge of Tianhai.

In the desolate wilderness of eternal night, as darkness fell, the black rain showed no signs of stopping; instead, it poured down even harder.

But at this moment, a cold and grand announcement about the fate of the nation once again resounded in the minds of people all over the world.

[National Fortune Announcement!]

[Warning: The first small-scale invasion of strange forces will occur tonight! All Chosen Ones are urged to immediately retreat to their territories and prepare for defense!]

[Rule Supplement: During this strange tide, the system will calculate points in real time based on comprehensive data such as the integrity of territory defense and the number of enemies killed.]

The top three chosen ones in the points ranking will receive generous special national fortune rewards!

The moment the announcement was made, the entire Eternal Night Wasteland was thrown into a state of panic.

Today is the third day since the arrival of the celestial beings. Even the most unlucky among them have managed to collect 100 basic materials and establish their lord's mansion.

Upon hearing the warning of the impending outbreak of strange tides, all the Chosen Ones exploring the wilderness abandoned their work without hesitation and frantically ran back to their territories.
