System: "The new map [Demon Forest] will open in 30 minutes. Chosen Ones, please prepare."

When these three fiery red announcements flashed across the screens of billions of players, players in various Battle Zones were already eager and awaiting the opening of this new map called [Boss Gathering Place].

At the same time, the official seemed to want all players to participate in this frenzy, so the [Battlefields] of each Battle Zone were temporarily closed for as long as 24 hours.

This means that within these 24 hours, players in each Battle Zone can rest assured that their Main City Battlefield won’t be conquered by the Demon Race.

It was this move by the official that made the opening of this new map a grand celebration for each Battle Zone.

At this moment, the Teleportation Array Plaza in the Main City of each Battle Zone was already crowded, bustling with people.

Listening closely, almost every player was discussing the contents of this instance.

The opening of this [Demon Forest] map felt more like a special BOSS instance to the players.

Currently, [Demon Forest] is divided into four Level maps:

[Basic Map] BOSS Levels: Lv10→Lv39;

[Intermediate Map] BOSS Levels: Lv40→Lv59;

[High Level Map] BOSS Levels: Lv60→Lv79;

[Ultimate Map] BOSS Levels: Lv80→Lv85.

Players can form teams of 2-20 people to challenge, with a challenge time of 120 minutes each time.

Within the time limit, players may encounter multiple BOSSES attacking, or may not even see the shadow of a BOSS.

But it’s worth noting that high-level players can choose low-level maps for challenges.

However, low-level players cannot challenge high-level maps.

When each team enters the corresponding instance, the lowest-Level member’s Level should not be lower than the minimum Level of that map’s BOSS.

Additionally, there’s a restriction that each player can only enter 3 times a day, with the number of times refreshed at 24:00 daily, not accumulated.

Meanwhile, during the countdown to the opening of [Demon Forest], the game simultaneously launched new systems like [Inlay] and [Durability].

At the Teleportation Array Plaza in White Tiger City of the Hua Country War Zone, messages constantly flooded the channels:

[Regional Channel] [Anti-Demon Corps·Member] Elegy Boy Lv55: "[Intermediate Map] 20-man team, need 1 Tank and 2 DPS, players with Defense 10K+ and DPS 50K+, roll for Equipment, ensure fair justice." [Apply 17/20]

...

[Regional Channel] [Anti-Demon Corps·Member] Heaven-Piercing Peak Lv36: "Newcomer team up for [Basic Map] fun, 4 spots left, come if you meet the requirements." [Apply 16/20]

...

[Battle Zone Channel] [Anti-Demon Corps·Vanguard Captain] Red Eye Venerable Lv63: "[High Level Map] 10-man team, combat power 30K+ directly apply." [Apply 5/10]

...

People shouted directly in the crowd recruiting teammates.

While players in various Battle Zones prepared eagerly, residents of the Nine Nether Continent were feeling heavy-hearted in another realm.

Across the Nine Nether Continent, the skies everywhere looked like they were on fire.

With these developments, billions of native residents of the Three Great Empires of the Nine Nether Continent had known today would be the day of the ’extraterrestrial evil spirits’ invading the Demon Forest.

Though no one has ever seen or heard any descriptions of these ’extraterrestrial evil spirits.’

It did not affect their excited hearts.

Excited?

Yes!

Excited indeed!

As all players on the Rafam Continent eagerly awaited to descend into [Demon Forest], they unknowingly became ’Wealth-Sending Boys’ in the eyes of the Nine Nether Continent natives.

According to the announcements from the Three Great Empires, these invaders are carrying a lot of treasures.

Just by killing them, one can gain various magic equipment revered as treasures in the Nine Nether Continent.

Such opportunistic groups exist in every world.

In fact, around the cities surrounding Demon Forest, numerous mercenaries ready for ’murder and treasure hunting’ have already gathered.

Should things turn out as the announcement suggested, there will be more and more people joining the hunt against the ’invaders.’

It will become even more frenzied.

No one would have thought.

People from the third spacetime (Earth) will unfold fierce battles in the Nine Nether Continent’s [Demon Forest] as their battleground.

For this result, some who know the truth cannot help but sigh:

"I wonder whether this is Luck or a disaster for the Nine Nether Continent."

In Jialan City, in the rebuilt Linlang Pavilion

Freshly returned from outside, a weary Ling Yudao sighed upon seeing Ling Yuwei upstairs staring blankly in the direction of the church:

"Still thinking about him?"

Upon hearing activity behind her, Ling Yuwei didn’t even turn her head but murmured absent-mindedly:

"Father, do you think he really existed?"

Ling Yudao knew very well who Ling Yuwei was referring to as ’him.’

Regarding Ling Yuwei’s state, Ling Yudao felt heartache yet helpless:

"If you like him so much, why not tell him."

This question Ling Yudao had wanted to ask for a long time.

Ling Yuwei’s admiration for Lin Yi was obvious to anyone who wasn’t blind.

Though Ling Yudao always felt the new Divine Son of the church held many mysteries, fearing Ling Yuwei being with him might harm her.

Yet on the other hand, he didn’t want to see his daughter linger in confusion daily, losing herself completely.

Comparing the two, Ling Yudao hoped Ling Yuwei could find her meaning in life.

At least that way, he’d see a normal daughter.

Facing Ling Yudao’s question, Ling Yuwei couldn’t help but sneer but didn’t offer an explanation instead said:

"Father, I want to go out for a walk alone."

Hearing this, Ling Yudao’s eyes lit up:

"Great!"

"I’ll have Old Fu accompany you for the journey, so you’ll have a companion."

Yet Ling Yuwei rejected Ling Yudao’s offer flatly:

"No need!"

Despite the refusal, Ling Yudao wasn’t surprised and asked:

"Where are you planning to go?"

"Heading back to Feather Spirit City to unwind?"

However, Ling Yuwei replied casually:

"No."

"I want to go to Demon Forest."

Ling Yudao immediately turned pale with shock:

"No way!"
