Jin Xuan was momentarily speechless at Xiao Mo's question, unsure how to respond. She could only murmur, "Isn't it?"
The moon had already appeared, so why wasn't it night?
Wait, was that not the moon in the sky? But the sun?
"Don't be fooled by appearances. Some things cannot be judged by objective impressions; you must analyze each situation specifically."
Xiao Mo also looked up at the "blood moon" in the sky, which had a red halo around it. It looked just like the sun's corona, and if you stared at it for too long, your eyes would feel a slight stinging sensation. However, this was not the reason he said the time flow of the "Alien Invasion: Evil Extermination Activity" was the same as outside. It was because the "World Chat Channel" displayed the time as five minutes past twelve. Anything could be wrong, but the "Game Official" certainly wouldn't be.
Now, the "World Chat Channel" had also noticed that they had been in the "Alien Invasion: Evil Extermination Activity" for so long without encountering a single evil entity.
"Alas, I've been wandering here for so long, why haven't I seen any evil beings?"
"I haven't seen any either. Isn't this an evil extermination competition? Without evil, what are we supposed to exterminate?"
"It's okay, hahaha, to be honest, I'm very lucky right now. I was teleported into a cave, and there's the skeleton of a God King here."
The skeleton of a God King was a valuable item, especially for those castle lords who had not yet reached the Divine level. Seeing the skeleton of a God King would undoubtedly be incredibly exciting.
"Holy crap! Big brother, you're amazing, to have found the skeleton of a God King!"
"Oh dear, I don't have such good luck. I'm still crawling in a pit of rotting flesh."
"Sister, stop talking and quickly crawl out of the corpse pit!"
At this moment, someone keenly sensed that something was amiss.
"Big brothers, is that really the skeleton of a God King?"
"Of course, I wouldn't lie. If you don't believe me, come and see."
"No, haven't you considered the other possibility?"
"But it's the skeleton of a God King, which means even gods have fallen here before."
As soon as this was said, everyone understood the implication. After all, if even a God King-level deity had met their end here, then for them, who hadn't even ascended to the Divine level, wouldn't the danger be immense?
"Don't scare yourselves. Out of the billions of castle lords, how many have reached the God King level?"
"Right. If that were the case, then wouldn't the 'Game Official' sending us to the 'Alien Invasion: Evil Extermination Activity' mean total annihilation for us?"
"I don't think the 'Game Official' would let us all die here."
"Perhaps that God King-level deity simply ran into something that caused their death."
"Yes, otherwise, if these evil beings had such power to kill a God King-level deity, I think even the great expert Xiao Mo wouldn't be able to get out of here safely."
After everyone's analysis, the panic that had arisen in their hearts subsided.
"The most important thing for us to do now is to find the evil beings and activate the 'Evil Extermination Championship Leaderboard' as soon as possible."
Meanwhile, Jin Xuan, after Xiao Mo's explanation, finally understood the reason. She said with a troubled expression, "But not a single person has found any evil creatures yet. This is too illogical." Even if evil creatures appeared at night, they shouldn't be completely invisible. "Could it be that there are no evil creatures in the 'Alien Invasion: Evil Extermination Activity'?"
"Impossible!" Xiao Mo said with a firm tone. "The 'Game Official' would never make such a low-level mistake. If those evil creatures can't be found on the surface, then perhaps they are underground, or hidden in higher-level spatial rifts, though we just can't discover them." "But I think only after midnight will those evil creatures come out, so these 12 hours might be the safest time for us." "When the time comes, there will undoubtedly be an extremely bloody battle!"
Xiao Mo shifted his gaze from the blood-red sun and thought to himself. "I hope those castle lords who haven't grown yet can find treasures that will allow them to survive within these 12 hours." "Otherwise, they will surely not survive once the battle begins."
A large-scale injury to castle lords was a situation Xiao Mo was very unwilling to see. Because, strictly speaking, the foreign castle lords on the Primordial Continent were a collective. However, even so, Xiao Mo wouldn't intervene to help those castle lords unless it reached a certain point. Therefore, everything was in fate's hands; he hoped they wouldn't disappoint him and would live well.
Hearing this, Jin Xuan's dejected expression instantly vanished, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xiao Mo. "Your Majesty the Saint Lord, you are truly brilliant. What should we do now?"
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's see if there's anything fun to be found in this异世界 (yì shìjiè - other world)." Although he hoped the castle lords would find some weapons to protect themselves, it didn't mean he wasn't interested in the treasures within the "Alien Invasion: Evil Extermination Activity." Don't joke, the "Alien Invasion: Evil Extermination Activity" was an event produced by the "Game Official"; the treasures within would surely be top-notch. Even though he already had two divine artifacts, who would complain about having too many powerful items?
"Let's go!"
As Xiao Mo's voice fell, the hundreds of thousands of immortal and demon troops behind him immediately stirred.
"As you command, Your Majesty the Saint Lord!"
The place where they had arrived was too desolate, with nothing but open ground. No treasures could be found, so Xiao Mo planned to use a time transfer station again. After flashes of white light passed through the spatial transfer station, when everyone opened their eyes again, the surrounding scenery had changed once more. This time, the scenery was completely different from the previous desolation. Although there were still no living beings around, there were at least things. However, there were only piles of horrifying skeletons, each pile as high as a small hill. It was evident how many people had died here.
Xiao Mo shifted his foot and found his sole sticking to something sticky, a foul odor assaulting his nostrils. Without thinking, Xiao Mo knew what the "mud" under his feet was. Just a pile of rotting flesh. Xiao Mo didn't feel anything, but Jin Xuan, having rarely seen such a scene, turned pale with fright. Yet, she felt she couldn't drag Xiao Mo down, so she suppressed her nausea and stood firmly beside Xiao Mo. "Your Majesty the Saint Lord, have you noticed anything amiss here?"
