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

Everyone was startled, and even Gu Qingcheng looked at her closed-door disciple with some surprise.

"Give me a reason." Lu Li looked at her with great interest.

Li Qingyue took a deep breath and replied, "Xiao Fan is narrow-minded and vindictive. Now that he has escaped into that world, if he obtains some heaven-defying opportunity there, he will surely become a major threat to our Primordial Holy Land. I cannot rest easy until Xiao Fan is eliminated. I am willing to personally go and kill him!"

These words were forceful and resounding, but in reality, they were merely a pretext used by Li Qingyue.

The real reason was that she was perceptive and had long ago noticed that this high and mighty Eternal Night Demon Emperor seemed to have a special interest in the unknown world.

Moreover, the reason why Master Gu Qingcheng was able to defy fate and live a second life was entirely thanks to this Great Emperor.

Her actions were both to repay her master's kindness and to repay Lu Li's life-saving grace in the martial arts arena when he gave her guidance to defeat Xiao Fan!

"very good."

Lu Li nodded in satisfaction. Then, several more loyal Dao-Slaying Realm deacons stepped forward, expressing their willingness to accompany the Holy Maiden.

Before everyone left, Lu Li called Li Qingyue to his side alone and began to explain the details of the world to her through divine sense.

That world is filled with a kind of rule-based product called the bizarre.

Lu Li told Li Qingyue in detail about some strange characteristics and killing patterns he had discovered in the Eternal Night Wasteland over the past two days, such as certain death if one turned around or knocked on a door. He also instructed her to be careful and not to use the common sense of the Xuan Tian Realm to judge things.

Then, Lu Li flipped his hand and took out an antique-looking storage ring, which he handed to Li Qingyue.

"This ring contains the medicinal herb seeds and supplies that I need you to escort."

Lu Li said solemnly, "If you happen to meet a woman named Lu Xueyao in this world... please be sure to personally hand this ring to her."

At the same time, he used his divine sense to project Lu Xueyao's portrait into Li Qingyue's sea of ​​consciousness.

Li Qingyue accepted the ring with both hands and solemnly promised, "Even if it costs me my life, I will fulfill the Emperor's request!"

Just in case, Lu Li took out several more lifelike wooden carvings from his sleeve and distributed them to Li Qingyue and several Dao-Slaying Realm deacons.

"These wooden carvings contain my killing sword intent. Although it is limited by the rules of the passage, I have suppressed this sword intent to the limit of the Dao Severing Realm. But in that world, as long as you don't actively seek death or cause trouble, it is more than enough to defend yourself and save your life."

After making preparations, Li Qingyue, accompanied by several Dao-Slaying Realm deacons, immediately entered the dungeon and jumped into the Nine Netherworld Water Spring.

The moment they came into contact with the gray mist at the bottom of the spring, their figures completely disappeared.

"Buzz!"

After a violent spinning motion, Li Qingyue and the others landed steadily on the black soil of the Eternal Night Wasteland.

"Such a dense aura of death!"

A Dao-Slaying Realm deacon standing next to Li Qingyue looked around with a solemn expression.

A light, black rain was falling from the sky, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and misfortune.

"This environment...it's practically like the legendary underworld!"

next moment.

"Qingyue...look at me..."

"Deacon Liu, please help me..."

At the same time, they heard various familiar, mournful cries from relatives or old friends!

The expressions of the several Dao-Slaying Realm deacons changed, and they instinctively turned their heads in response to the sound.

"Don't look back!"

Li Qingyue's heart tightened, and she immediately shouted sharply, simultaneously calming her mind: "This is the strange thing the Great Emperor warned us about. No matter what sound you hear, just pretend you didn't hear it and ignore it!"

Although the deacons were unaware of what was going on, out of trust in the Holy Maiden and reverence for the Eternal Night Emperor, they forcibly stopped their actions and suppressed their curiosity.

"This place is eerie; we shouldn't stay any longer." Li Qingyue looked around and made a quick decision: "Everyone, let's find a cave to take shelter from the rain. We'll make further plans when it's light!"

The group quickly found a secluded cave in the wilderness, hid inside, sat cross-legged, and waited for dawn.

As the darkness of the Eternal Night Wasteland finally faded and dawn broke,

A cold and grand national destiny announcement exploded like thunder in the minds of all humanity and all the chosen ones in the Eternal Night Wasteland!

[National Fortune Announcement!]

[Special Event: The large-scale dungeon, Underworld Purgatory, is officially open!]

All surviving Chosen Ones will be forcibly teleported into a dungeon to survive!

[Instance lifespan: Seven days!]

【Rule 1: Role-playing and integration. After entering the instance, all chosen ones will be randomly assigned a corresponding role.

Please strictly adhere to the logic and behavior required for this identity. Under no circumstances should you reveal your outsider status. If the local anomalies within the instance detect anything amiss, an unavoidable and fatal pattern will be triggered instantly!

[Rule 2: Daily Tasks. As the role-player, the chosen one must complete the exclusive tasks assigned to their corresponding role each day. Failure to complete them on time will also trigger the killing rule!]

[Rule 3: Resource Acquisition. The dungeon contains many rare and mysterious items and special props. If the chosen one can successfully survive to the end of the seventh day, all the items obtained can be successfully taken out of the dungeon.]

[Rule 4: Immunity Protection. If the chosen one dies within the instance, they will not truly die, but will be directly eliminated and resurrected within the territory of the Eternal Night Wasteland (Note: Eliminated players will not be able to take any items out).]

[Rule 5: Time-Limited Escape. After the seventh day, the exclusive exit route from the instance will open for a limited time. The chosen one must find the route and successfully evacuate to achieve a perfect instance clear!]

[Settlement Mechanism: The system will calculate the completion score based on the chosen one's task completion rate in the dungeon, the number of strange items collected, and the extent to which clues about the hidden truth behind the dungeon are uncovered. The top three scorers will receive generous national fortune rewards!]

[Note: The time flow in this instance differs from that in the Eternal Night Wasteland. Seven days in this instance will only take one day in the Eternal Night Wasteland.]

This rule announcement instantly caused a frenzy among billions of viewers on Earth.

However, in the Eternal Night Wasteland, neither Xiao Fan, who was hiding in the cave, nor Li Qingyue and the others, who had just arrived in this world and were meditating, could hear the announcement of the so-called National Fate Survival System!

Upon hearing the notification of forced teleportation in Lu Xueyao's lord's manor, a look of seriousness flashed in Lu Xueyao's eyes, but her actions did not slow down at all.

She immediately put the White Bone Banner and the Myriad Souls Banner, which were stuck in the ground, into her system inventory.

"Buzz—!"

The next moment, a blinding white beam of light pierced through the dome of the stone house in the lord's mansion, enveloping Lu Xueyao completely.

With a flash of light, she vanished from the spot.
