637: A mission of life or death! The arrangement of noble territories!

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations to you and your territory for acquiring the first Life-and-Death Survival Mission!]

Su Lie looked at the prompt, a warning bell ringing loudly in his heart.

He realized.

This must be related to his ability to allow his Vassals' professions to evolve into God-Tier Professionals.

Regardless of the era, the quality of a profession determines its strength.

Professions of higher quality always have the highest chance of survival.

Naturally, they also receive more fortuitous missions.

Su Lie possessed such power during the Second Turn stage.

In the eyes of the Myriad Races of the Heavens, this is called Virtue Not Matching One's Position.

The Myriad Races and the Survivors in the Guilds all believed Su Lie was unqualified to control such a powerful treasure.

Therefore.

Contenders naturally emerged, believing that “The Virtuous Should Possess It.”

In Su Lie's view.

This was a Treasure of Racial Destiny.

But.

No life form would ever realize.

The method Su Lie used to make Vassals evolve was not an item, but a Talent.

He smiled faintly and looked at the mission information.

He had already anticipated such a crisis when he received the World-Level Announcement.

[Life-and-Death Survival Mission]

[Mission: Your power to allow Vassals to evolve into God-Tier Professionals has drawn the covetous gaze of life forms at the same level across the Myriad Races of the Heavens. Each race will dispatch Legions to attack your territory and seize this Supreme Treasure!]

[Mission Requirement: As the party being attacked, you have the right to choose the form of the battlefield.]

[Mission Requirement: You will have 12 hours of preparation time.]

[Mission Restriction: This Legion Battle is a no-rules battlefield, prohibiting the appearance of any existence exceeding a Third-Turn Professional.]

[Mission Restriction: This Legion Battle has no time limit, until one side is completely annihilated!]

[Mission Time: The time ratio between this Legion Battle and the Mist Main World is: 100 years: 1 year!]

[Mission Rule: After you select the battlefield form, all challengers initiating the attack will also select their respective battlefield forms to serve as staging points for their troops. Furthermore, a 3-hour window for free joining of the attacking side will be opened to the Myriad Worlds and Races.]

[Mission Rule: You have no allies! All parties joining the attacking side must initiate an attack against you, otherwise they will be immediately erased.]

[Mission Rule: The construction of all buildings is permitted in this Legion Battle, Treasure Refining is permitted, and the use of any items is permitted.]

[Mission Rule: The use of space-time related Talents, Skills, and divine abilities is prohibited in this Legion Battle.]

[Mission Rule: Your core territory and the main city of your Peerage Territory need to be moved into the battlefield for this Legion Battle.]

[Mission Rule: All participating members' territories and everything within them will be moved into the battlefield for this Legion Battle.]

[Mission Rule: For every enemy you defeat, you will gain one opportunity to plunder the target's territory resources. This opportunity lasts only 1 hour. After 1 hour, the target territory will automatically collapse and disintegrate back into the Mist Main World.]

[Mission Rule: From this moment on, all professional life forms challenging you and you yourself must cease all transactions except for purchasing materials, and you cannot accept any gifts. All Legions originally existing or cultivated by non-combatant territories will be expelled from your territory!]

[Mission Victory: Your core territory will gain a conceptual rule power;]

[Mission Victory: You and your Vassals will each receive a conceptual Talent;]

[Mission Victory: Reward the territory with 10 million Reputation Points;]

[Mission Victory: Reward the Peerage Territory with a set of invincible rules;]

[Mission Victory: Reward a scroll granting qualification to purchase a conceptual Legion formation;]

[Mission Reward: Reward an item for extracting a conceptual human mutation bloodline;]

[Mission Reward: Your peerage will be upgraded to Mist Viscount, and you will gain the authority to appoint peerages (the highest peerage you can appoint cannot exceed or be the same rank as your current peerage.)]

[Mission Reward: You will receive an additional special unique conceptual Talent (requires an extra item to activate)]

[Mission Failure: You, your core territory, and your Peerage Territory will be directly destroyed, and you, your Vassals, Legions, and servants will instantly die.]

[Mission Parties: Defender Su Lie, Attackers Second-Turn Professionals and Third-Turn Professionals from the Myriad Worlds and Races who hold the same Mist peerage rank as Su Lie. (Su Lie's current peerage rank is Mist Baron)]

[Note: The battlefield is fixed as a parallel branch space of your current territory. The battlefield form determines whether the buildings in the battlefield's ground, air, and underground areas should be stripped away from the battlefield, or brought into the battlefield as part of your defenses.

Note: After you select the battlefield form, the battlefield will be moved from your territory to a parallel timeline of the Silent Abyss to serve as a separate battlefield for the Legion Battle. The battlefield can withstand the full bombardment of a Supreme Expert.

Note: All damaged buildings on the Legion Battle battlefield will be mirrored onto the buildings in your current territory after completion.

Note: You need to leave one servant stationed in your Peerage Territory in the Mist Main World. Furthermore, the buildings not moved to the parallel battlefield need to retain their original garrison Legions and Vassals.

Note: Shanhai City is part of the Mist Survivors Guild's Bridgehead Plan, and this city will not be included in the list of targets to be moved for this mission. The City Lord and all necessary defense personnel and garrison troops must remain in the territory.

Note: This is a mandatory mission!]

Su Lie looked at the long mission prompt before him.

A strong light burst forth from his eyes: “Holy crap! These rewards are truly amazing!”

At this moment, his heart was moved!

Although the battlefield rules restricted the use of space-time related Talents, Skills, and divine abilities.

Su Lie was not afraid.

After all, his power was not limited to just Time Stop.

And right now, he had many other means available.

This rule wouldn't decrease his combat power!

“If it's just Second Turn and Third-Turn Professionals... even if Fourth-Turn Professionals entered the fray, I could handle it!”

Su Lie clenched his fist, feeling energized and excited as he spoke to the mist rule: “Start it!”

[Buzz!]

[Please select the battlefield form!]

At this moment, a phantom light image appeared before Su Lie's eyes.

He saw.

A block identical to the Silent Abyss territory appeared before him.

This block was a white area, and the rule city wall, Kunlun Mountain, Fulu Garden, floating air port, and the City of the End were marked in green.

These were the buildings that could be optionally moved into the battlefield.

Shanhai City, Baobao City, and Xuanyuan City were marked in red; these were the buildings prohibited from being moved into the battlefield.

Su Lie pondered after seeing this: “Since only the main city and the core territory need to enter the battlefield, then I will only take the main city and the core territory!”

Having said this.

He selected the main city.

Then, he confirmed the selection.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on completing the battlefield form selection!]

[The battlefield range is 1 million kilometers long and wide. The surrounding black area is the enemy deployment zone, and the enemies' territories will be materialized in the battlefield in the same manner.]

[Note: Since your main city is located at the core of the territory, it will also be located at the core of the territory after entering the battlefield.]

...[Current participant ratio for the Legion Battle!]

[Defender: 1 person;]

[Attackers: 109.101,183,284 individuals (including the Myriad Worlds and Races, humans are also included)]

...[Countdown begins!]

[11 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds!]

“Haha! I'm really looking forward to this battle!”

Su Lie laughed.

His figure flickered, instantly arriving at the Guard Zone of the Mist Production and Construction Corps.

At this moment.

All the Little Skeletons, White Bone Demon Generals, Bai Miaoyin, Su Liya, and the other women, Frieren, Su Dabao, Su Hua Hua, Chou Fengyu, and the Vassals gathered here.

Everyone had learned about the impending events through the previous announcement.

When Su Lie arrived.

A fervent light burst forth from everyone's eyes.

“Battle!”

Lin Xi shouted, his voice hoarse with excitement.

The Vassals brandished their weapons, shouting with fervent eyes.

Currently, all 5 million Vassals have completed their Class Change to Second-Turn Professionals.

Their powerful strength filled them with endless fighting spirit at this moment.

The Little Skeletons, led by Su Kuiyue, responded in unison.

Even Su Liya and Su Keqing and the other women were shouting excitedly.

At this moment.

The people in Su Lie's territory were not scared away; instead, they were so excited they wished the battle would start immediately.

The belligerent factor hidden in their bloodline.

Was completely activated by the mist rule's prompt.

Just as Su Lie was about to speak, his eyes flashed.

He saw countless private messages jump into his view.

Su Lie did not check them, instead looking at the people in the territory: “Good! Since you all have such intentions, let's fight until we drop!”

The moment his voice rang out.

Everyone stopped.

Wu Xiu stepped forward, excitedly saying: “Liege Lord! Please arrange for other Vassals to guard Shanhai City! I volunteer to participate in the battle!”

Mi Li followed closely: “Liege Lord! Mi Li also volunteers to participate!”

Among them, Wu Xiu was the City Lord of Shanhai City, and Mi Li was Wu Xiu's Deputy City Lord.

Originally, Lin Xi was also a Deputy City Lord, but because Lin Xi had been focusing on leveling up with the team.

He hadn't been involved in the city management.

Su Lie looked at the two and shook his head: “Shanhai City is extremely important to us. You two are Vassals who have been tested; you have capability and strength! Trust me, Shanhai City needs you more than the battlefield!”

Having said this.

He handed a Di Sha Reincarnation Undying Talent Awakening Scroll and an item sealing the Di Sha Spring to Wu Xiu: “This is an Undying item! If you encounter danger in Shanhai City, you can be resurrected through it!”

“Place this well in Fulu Garden, and it will keep you safe!”

When Su Lie handed the items to Wu Xiu.

Wu Xiu froze, completely stunned. Tears welled up in his eyes: “Liege Lord!”

He cried out this address with unusual bitterness.

But an order was an order.

Afterwards.

Su Lie took out another Undying Talent.

This was a Talent that his Avici Purgatory had analyzed from Zhao Tianyi's body.

This Talent was named Nine-Lived Cat.

This Talent allows a life form to possess nine lives.

If some lives are lost due to death.

They can be replenished by consuming a certain amount of Lifespan.

Su Lie gave it to Mi Li: “Mi Li! Make good use of this Undying Talent! Combined with your Invisibility Talent, it will surely save your life!”

Mi Li excitedly grasped Su Lie's hand. She had thousands of words she wanted to say, but they caught in her throat: “Yes! Liege Lord, don't worry! As long as Mi Li is here! Shanhai City will definitely remain unscathed!”

“Good!”

Su Lie smiled, then looked at Su Kuiyue: “Kui Yue! Arrange 10 million troops for Shanhai City!”

“Yes!”

Su Kuiyue quickly assigned a Skeleton Legion of 10 million Little Skeletons according to Su Lie's request.

After the Legion split and stood ready.

Su Lie then instructed the generals and soldiers guarding the four gates of the rule city wall to line up separately.

Afterwards.

He instructed Su Liya: “Liya! You take 10 million Little Skeletons to guard Kunlun City on the peak of Kunlun Mountain! I will allocate enough demon abyss cannons, monster crystals, and other resources for you!”

“Here is an Undying Talent; awaken it, then take your troops and wait aside for further arrangements!”

This statement startled Su Liya.

She looked at Su Lie solemnly and said: “Master! I request to participate in the battle!”

“No! The Peerage Territory is our foundation, and the foundation needs strength to guard it! You have always assisted me in managing the territory within the core territory, and you have gained sufficient communication experience through recruiting Vassals!”

Su Lie shook his head, solemnly telling Su Liya: “Kunlun Mountain must be protected by someone! You are the most suitable person for this!”

“Zhao Jiu and Sophie are both Vassals with the Commander profession. They are extremely useful in the Legion Battle. If I gave them to you, who would formulate strategies for me in the Legion Battle?”

This question shook Su Liya's spirit. She respectfully kowtowed and said: “Liya obeys the command!”

When Su Liya activated the talent awakening scroll, she was stunned once again.

Su Liya's gaze toward Su Lie became even more fervent.

Only then did she realize that the Undying Talent Su Lie gave her was actually a conceptual Undying Talent—Infinite Regeneration!

This Talent allows her to choose Infinite Regeneration directly after death.

And not simply be reborn in the core territory.

Of course.

Because the core territory was moving into the parallel battlefield.

If Su Liya died outside, she might not be able to resurrect directly from the core territory on the parallel battlefield.

She might have to wait until Su Lie emerged victorious before she could resurrect.

This would severely delay the affairs of Kunlun Mountain.

It was precisely because of this consideration.

That Su Lie gave Su Liya this Talent.

Su Liya understood Su Lie's intention, and she kowtowed respectfully from afar: “Master, rest assured! Liya will live up to your expectations! If you fall in battle, I will die with you!”
