Origin Paradise!

Be careful.

At Darkmoon Fortress, Old Black sensed the unusual atmosphere around him and immediately reported the situation to someone. The Duke of Darkmoon was extremely sensitive to power, especially the command of the army, and anyone involved would have to bear considerable risks.

In the wine cellar, Jiang He's eyes suddenly cleared.

He has a considerable amount of authority to say whether the Duke of Merrick hates him.

It's unlikely that they would start a local war just for one person, but if it aligns with their strategic objectives, the other side would certainly not mind doing it along the way.

Given the overall situation of the Duke and the Grand Duke being in a standoff, it is unlikely that Duke Merrick would personally venture deep into enemy territory. However, given the premise of destroying the Infernal Fortress, the person specifically responsible for the execution of the decapitation might not be anything less than the pinnacle of his career.

“30% total damage reduction with Golden Body, 30% total damage reduction with Golden State.” Jiang He couldn’t help but ponder, “This means that against non-demon species at the peak of Golden State, I can only deal about 40% effective damage, not counting the enemy’s own defense after damage reduction.”

Currently, his combat strength is positioned above Gold Elite but below Gold Peak. In terms of speed, he is at least on par with Peak, and he can even kill Demon species.

However, in a normal battle, even a Silver King cannot transcend an entire era and complete a reverse slash while suffering 60% damage reduction, since strictly speaking, his own life level is still at the peak of Silver.

"However, we are by no means helpless."

Jiang He used his animal companions to send a message to Lao Hei, while simultaneously temporarily dismantling a portion of the Alchemy Tower. This strategy of using strengths to attack weaknesses was his only tactic against the Golden Peak.

……

The banquet and dance continued as before.

The Fish Master and the Old Madam had a very pleasant conversation.

Despite her dislike of frontline life, the old matriarch felt a certain affinity for this beacon city that the old marquis had fought to the death to protect.

“My Yu family is full of outstanding talents. I’ve heard that Miss Ning is in charge recently. I wonder if that’s true?” Master Yu said with a smile. “Even if they can’t compare to super geniuses, we can still get to know each other.”

The old lady smiled enigmatically and said, "Could it be that Master has taken a fancy to the Si family's business? Otherwise, why would you say such a thing?"

“Absolutely not.” Master Yu’s face was sullen.

The old lady then said, "As for Jianian, he's already past the age of coming of age, and is about the same age as Yu's son. Perhaps..."

"I can't make that decision," Master Yu quickly interrupted. Yu Jianyue and Yan Liang were among the few super geniuses in the Western Region, and such juniors would be the ones to carry the family banner in the future.

For a son of a mid-ranking noble family to marry into another family is tantamount to becoming a laughingstock, while a son of a concubine is far from worthy. For a super genius to marry an outsider is undoubtedly a waste of talent. How to handle this is up to the patriarch.

The Fish Master and the Old Lady exchanged a glance and smiled almost simultaneously.

"The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water."

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

The two representatives had a harmonious relationship, and countless unspoken glances conveyed their understanding, making the atmosphere at the ball even more enthusiastic.

A member of the Yu clan, holding a wine cup, was not old, appearing to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was handsome and had an extraordinary demeanor. He had already advanced to the Gold rank, placing him in the top tier below super geniuses.

He spotted Yue Qingyu in the crowd at a glance.

He was slender, with a delicate temperament and a beautiful face. Dressed in an elegant white dress, he resembled a young deer in the forest. Moreover, he was not from a poor noble family. The Pinle family in Yulu County was also in Cangwu Province. The Yu family should be very willing to see him get close to the other party, thereby increasing their control over the county city.

Of course, at this moment, these are all secondary.

Yu Shi Gong Feng held the wine cup and came to Yue Qing Yu's side.

Following her gaze, Si Jianian was chasing and playing around in a group of young ladies from noble families. This grandson of the old matriarch received everyone's tolerance and indulgence.

“If you desire something, you must first set it free,” said the Fish Clan Master softly. “If it returns to you, it belongs to you; if it doesn’t return, then you never truly possessed it.”

Le Qingyu turned around, tears welling in her eyes. She raised her slender hand to wipe away the tears and said softly, "Brother Nian is still as holy as ever."

"Is that so?" Yu Shi, suppressing his sarcasm, said gently, "If he truly possessed the qualities of a saint, then if he doesn't come to you now, he certainly won't in the future."

Yue Qingyu's face turned pale.

“It’s because you always wait in the same place that he’s become so emboldened that he’s gradually started to ignore you.” The Fish Clan invited, “Come with me. You have to let him know that even if a girl is willing to shed tears silently, there are limits.”

In Yue Qingyu's eyes, Si Jianian's figure gradually blurred, and the words of the man beside her seemed to have a special magic, arousing the long-accumulated dissatisfaction and rebellion in her heart.

The two left the dance center.

Shortly after the two left, Si Jianian passed by the same spot, looking left and right.

"Huh, what about people?"

"Young Master Si, come and play!"

……

West of Siming City.

This place is now guarded by the Wang family, a low-ranking noble family.

As a member of the elite elite, the Wang family patriarch did not participate in the dance. The west gate of the city was as majestic as a mountain, facing the border area, and its importance was paramount. In the meantime when the colonel went to dance, he took on the important task of guarding the gate.

Yu Shi Gong Feng led Yue Qingyu to the city gate.

The latter's thoughts were in a daze. She left the ball as if she had jumped out of her original life. She was full of confusion. Even though she realized that it was not right for a man and a woman to be alone in this place, she did not have enough autonomy to refuse.

The atmosphere became increasingly ambiguous.

The fish-like figure's eyes flickered.

Suddenly, a coughing sound rang out.

"Ahem, perhaps you two should find another place?"

When the patriarch of the Wang family made his appearance, it was perfectly normal for young men and women to take a liking to each other at the dance, and even the palace complex had special guest rooms. However, he was an old man and had no interest in watching the actual battle.

Upon hearing the voice, Yue Qingyu was startled like a rabbit. She turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance.

"Grandpa Wang?"

“It is I, Miss Yue.” The Wang family patriarch clasped his hands and said, “Thank you, Lord Yue, for curing my chronic illness. This matter is known throughout the province. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything, Miss.”

Le Yuqing stammered, her expression growing increasingly hesitant.

Yu Shi said in a low voice, "This is not fair to you. Why can Si Jianian play with a group of young ladies from noble families, while you have to be hesitant and cautious? He won't know how important you are until he loses you once."

After a brief silence, Yue Qingyu resolutely said, "Grandpa Wang, could you give me some space?"

"This……"

The Wang family patriarch was caught in a dilemma. He had just made a boast, but who would have thought that the other party would present him with such a huge problem.

But a voice kept lingering in his mind: the colonel who was supposed to be guarding the area was having fun while he had to stay and risk offending his benefactor's daughter. This was too unfair to him. Besides, the fact that the colonel had abandoned his post meant that the situation was relatively safe.

After a long pause, the Wang family patriarch said, "I will not tell you about this unless asked by others in two quarters of an hour."

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang."

With the departure of the Wang family patriarch, the elite guards stationed at the west gate also left. Some officers felt this was inappropriate, but the influence of the aristocratic family was deeply ingrained, and convenient measures were commonplace.

In a short while, only the two of them remained.

Yue Qingyu closed her eyes and looked up to wait.

Half a minute passed, but the expected sensation still hadn't arrived.

She heard the sound of the city gates opening and couldn't help but open her eyes. She saw the young man in front of her touch his face, revealing a beautiful face that was neither male nor female, with blood-red eyes.

In the shadows at the city gate, pairs of fierce eyes emerged.

Yu Shi Shangfu laughed heartily as the notification sound of the End Battlefield mission being completed rang in his ears. With nearly 40 points of charm, combined with several charm-type abilities, he opened the city gate effortlessly. Combat was merely a last resort for a charm-type expert.

When Yue Yuqing saw werewolves, vampires, spider demons, and demon descendants for the first time, her face turned ashen.

"Stupid woman, if a strange man is patient with you, of course he has ill intentions, hahaha."

call!

Four top-ranking marquises stormed into Siming City.

The deputy warden smashed into Yue Yuqing, blood splattering everywhere, and slapped a certificate of investiture as a count onto the other man's shoulder.

"Follow."

The fish-clan elder bowed slightly. As an ordinary gold-level being, the peak level was an absolute power that no one could resist.

"clear.

Like a black tide, dark creatures invaded Beacon City. Earls and marquises, seemingly with keen insight, precisely targeted each defensive node.

Under the crimson moonlight, the beacon-scarred city was eerily sinister.

A golden vampire descended from the rooftop, its blood wings sweeping across the ground, and directly bound the Imperial Major's body. Sharp teeth bit down, piercing the skin and blood vessels of his neck. The Major's body stiffened, and the lifeblood, symbolizing his life, flowed backward and was completely drained.

On the west city wall, several golden spider demons worked together, their exceptionally tough spider silk capturing a lieutenant colonel. Corrosive, poisonous, and dissolving energies were poured into him, and when he returned from the brink of death after his domain shattered, he was still trapped in a cocoon with nowhere to escape.

A deathly silence reigned.

Hundreds of thousands of elite dark forces poured in, and the western part of the city quickly fell.

Sensing the disturbance, the Wang family patriarch rose from the dancer's bed and rushed desperately toward the bell tower, slaughtering thousands of dark creatures along the way. But just as the bell rang, the Spider Demon Marquis, one of the four leaders, arrived.

Among the dark races, the spider demons have the largest number of servants, and their individual combat strength is relatively weak, but the gap between the peak and elite is insurmountable.

The Spider Demon Marquis simply waved her hand, and the curse spell Spider Kill was immediately activated.

Countless tiny spiders crawled out from the mouth, nose, and eye sockets of the Wang family patriarch, gnawing at his internal organs and soul.

"Le Yuqing, you will die a horrible death!"

boom!

Eight limbs pierced out, killing him instantly.

The patriarch of the Wang family perished, and the core of his domain had long been shattered in previous wars.

The Spider Demon Duchess wiped the blood and flesh splattered on her face, and heard the communication of dark magic in her ears.

“The Yu Clan Master and the Si Clan Grand Lady will each be dealt with by three people. The minimum requirement is to shatter the core of their domains.”

"Another hunting target."

"Immediately seal off Siming City and evacuate before dawn."

The urgent tolling of bells echoed over the city of Siming.

The roar of war utterly shattered the banquet music.

In the palace complex, all the golden-robed figures rose to their feet, their faces filled with disbelief. The sound of the bell signified the outbreak of war. The events had occurred too suddenly, and the young men and women who had just been dancing all paled.

"All officers, take your positions!" Commander Yu shouted. "Powerful members of the aristocratic families, hold the perimeter and prepare to break out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red giant sword, hundreds of meters long, slashed across the sky. Its sword light overflowed like a storm, destroying more than a dozen buildings. Its power was terrifying.

Blood Demon Marquis struck out from mid-air, immediately lunging forward towards Master Yu after drawing his sword.

Whoosh!

Two scaled fish, one black and one white, appeared in the left and right hands of the Fish Master. The two fish instantly mixed black and white, and countless rays of light intertwined in black and white, like a fishing net being cast out, enveloping the blood-red giant sword.

boom!

The sword is broken and the net is shattered.

"The Commander's divine might!"

"The Yu Family's 'Yin Yang Double Fish Formula' truly lives up to its reputation!"

"Wait, they are three Major General-level members of the Dark Race!"

In an instant, the enemies revealed themselves.

The Blood Demon attacked in close combat, hundreds of swords swirling around him as he clashed repeatedly with the Black and White Pisces. The Blood Demon clan among the demon race is skilled in blood-forging techniques and is on par with the vampire clan Serifus.

On the hillside north of the city, the old lady decisively abandoned her master, with whom she had just had a pleasant conversation, and planned to leave, but was blocked by the Spider Demon Marquis.

"You don't want family members or noble lineage anymore?" The Spider Demon Duchess's mockery contained a hint of curiosity.

"As long as I live, the Si family will live; if I die, the Si family will perish." The old matriarch gripped her slender sword and sneered, "Do you really think I haven't been on the battlefield?"

"Then let's fight." The Spider Demon Duchess grinned maliciously, and thousands of spider silks spread like waves behind her.

The light of the Taiyin Sword and the curse spell rose simultaneously.

Not far from the core battlefield, the werewolf marquis secretly activated the Dark Moon spell to assist his two colleagues. The spell's destructive power was negligible, but it was still an absolute catastrophe for lower-level beings. The Undying-level power amplification aura caused a large group of junior officers and soldiers to explode and die, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Five top-tier experts clashed, and the aftershocks swept across the north of the city, destroying the palace complex and causing the deaths of thousands of silver-level beings.

Meanwhile, the streets, bathed in the blood-red moon, were engulfed in flames of war.
