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

Meanwhile, in another cave in the Eternal Night Wasteland.

Just as Xiao Fan was about to follow the old doctor's advice and go out to explore this place that seemed to be the underworld, he was also enveloped by a white beam of light without any warning.

"Master! What kind of formation is this?" Xiao Fan cried out in terror, but before he could finish speaking, he vanished from the spot.

On the other side, Li Qingyue and several Dao-Slaying Realm deacons had just stepped out of the cave and hadn't even had a chance to breathe in the fresh air when they were also enveloped by several beams of light that descended from the sky and were then teleported away.

Clearly, the underlying judgment mechanism of the national survival system seems to have a bug; it appears unable to correctly distinguish between the chosen ones and illegal immigrants.

Any being that appears in this Eternal Night Wasteland and carries the aura of a living human is judged as a Chosen One and forcibly sent into the Yellow Spring Purgatory instance!

When Lu Xueyao opened her eyes again amidst a slight dizziness.

She found herself no longer in the familiar lord's manor.

What comes into view is a dark and harsh underground mine.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and a thick, malevolent aura.

Even just one breath can cause a burning pain in your lungs.

Lu Xueyao looked down at herself; her original fitted black tactical uniform was gone.

Instead, they wore a rough, patched, and dark red bloodstain-covered ancient linen garment.

She wore a pair of worn-out straw sandals, and in her hand she held a rusty iron pickaxe, while carrying a dilapidated bamboo basket on her back.

"Is this the identity I'm playing?"

Lu Xueyao frowned, and at the same time, the system notification sounded in her ear right on time.

[Ding! Identity successfully loaded!]

[Current role: Outer Disciple (Miner) of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.]

[Current location: Yellow Springs Demon Sect - Black Mountain Mine (Ninth Mine Cave)]

[Today's exclusive task: Before sunset, you must collect 50 Bloodstones in the mine and hand them over to the foreman. Failure to do so will result in severe punishment according to the sect rules.]

At this moment, this incredibly realistic mine scene was also presented to the Chinese audience through the live broadcast.

"What a depressing scene... What is that black smoke floating in the mine? It looks disgusting."

"Lu Xueyao is a powerful demonic cultivator, and you're sending her to be a mine slave digging for stones? That's such a huge contrast!"

Lu Xueyao ignored the harsh environment around her.

She took a deep breath and immediately called out to Lu Li in her mind.

"Brother, are you still there? The system is telling me that my current identity is a mining slave of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, and I'm supposed to mine some kind of Blood Fiend Stone in this Black Mountain mining area."

Upon hearing his sister's telepathic message, Lu Li, who was deep within Lu Xueyao's sea of ​​consciousness, surprisingly showed a hint of astonishment and surprise in his illusory double pupils.

The Yellow Springs Demonic Sect? The Black Mountain Mining Area?

In fact, the moment Lu Xueyao was teleported to this mine, Lu Li's Emperor Realm divine sense had already scanned the surrounding environment and immediately generated a strong, deep-seated sense of familiarity.

He knows this place all too well.

Ten thousand years ago, when Lu Li had just traveled from Blue Star to the Xuan Tian Realm.

He had neither an extraordinary physique nor a grandfather by his side.

By a twist of fate, the first cultivation sect he joined was none other than the infamous Yellow Springs Demon Sect!

When he first entered the sect, because of his mediocre talent, he was assigned to a menial job in the dark and dangerous Black Mountain mining area, where people had to risk their lives to fill the gaps!

The Yellow Springs Demon Sect operates on a brutal principle. In their eyes, all the lower-level disciples are talents, making it a complete cannibalistic den of demons!

It was precisely because Lu Li had witnessed the law of the jungle and deceit in this den of iniquity that he gradually developed a cold and ruthless nature.

Later, he rose to power through extreme plunder and slaughter. The first thing he did after achieving success in his cultivation was to personally slaughter hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Yellow Spring Demon Sect and completely level the sect's territory!

"This is unbelievable..."

Lu Li muttered to himself, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"The Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, which I personally destroyed thousands of years ago, has now been re-emerged as a dungeon in this bizarre world's survival game of national destiny?"

Since the Yellow Spring Demon Sect in front of him was reproduced by the National Fortune System in the form of a copy, Lu Li felt strange, but did not investigate it too much.

On the contrary, for him, it was like returning to his starting village.

"Xueyao, forget about everything else for now, go dig for Blood Fiend Stones."

Lu Li instructed in his mind: "This thing is not only hard, but more troublesome is that during the mining process, the Blood Fiend Stone will continuously release a kind of Blood Fiend Power. This power will penetrate into the flesh and meridians of the miners without leaving any gaps."

"That's why, for a low-level mining slave, trying to complete the daily heavy physical mining task with just physical strength is a deadly and arduous task. Often, they won't last long before the blood evil enters their body, and they die a miserable death in the mine."

Hearing her brother's explanation, Lu Xueyao's heart tightened.

But Lu Li changed the subject: "However, that only applies to ordinary people. You possess the Blood Nerve, which is an unparalleled Blood Path Demonic Art! When you are mining, you must keep the technique running at all times."

"Treat the bloodthirsty energy that has invaded your body as a tonic, forcibly refining it! In this way, this tedious mining will not only not harm you, but will instead become a tonic for honing your cultivation and purifying your mana."

"Understood, bro!"

Lu Xueyao picked up her pickaxe and began searching for ore veins in the dimly lit mine.

Under the guidance of Lu Li, a former veteran miner, Lu Xueyao's progress was nothing short of miraculous.

She didn't need to knock around like a headless fly. With just a slight sweep of his divine sense, Lu Li could accurately point out which rock wall concealed the high-purity Blood Fiend Stone.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

With a swing of her pickaxe, sparks flew as she easily chipped away at the dark red, pungent-smelling bloodstone and tossed it into the bamboo basket behind her.

At the same time, the bloodthirsty power that was trying to erode her skin as her magical power flowed within her body was crushed by the blood nerves as soon as it entered her body, and transformed into a pure foundation of cultivation.

While Lu Xueyao was mining methodically.

Meanwhile, in the eighth mining area of ​​the Yellow Springs Demon Sect.

Catherine, one of the chosen ones of the British Empire, also became a mining slave, working in the mines.

Catherine had blonde hair and a beautiful face, but at this moment, she was also wearing dirty, rough miner's linen clothes, and her whole body was covered in mud.

She didn't have an "old man" like Lu Li who knew the terrain well to guide her. Because the mine was very dark and the rocks were hard, she could only explore little by little and make mistakes.
