"Oppa, Oppa, what's wrong?"
"Oh my god, hurry to the Dragon Kingdom stream! Oppa, Oppa, that Demon Daoist has turned him into a zombie!"
"No, that's impossible, it can't be..."
"5555, it's true! Our Oppa has become like that..."
"..."
A young girl from the Kimchi Kingdom, who had personally rushed to the Dragon Kingdom stream to witness the event, couldn't handle the shock and fainted in front of the screen.
Those who dared not go to the Dragon Kingdom stream sat frozen in place, muttering to themselves.
"No, no, no..."
Suddenly, an unprecedented notification appeared on the National War Arena.
**Battlefield Notification**: Due to unknown reasons, the resurrection of Park Jeonghwan has failed. The Kimchi Kingdom will randomly select a new Guardian within 30 minutes.
The message silenced both worlds.
The people of the Kimchi Kingdom finally accepted that their Golden Talent hero could not be resurrected.
"No, please don't pick me randomly. I... I'm useless. I don't want to die."
"I don't want to go to the National War Arena either! There are monsters there, and Dragon Kingdom people! I won't go! I won't!!"
"Don't worry, with so many people in the country, the chances of being randomly selected are slim."
But the most shocking sight was among the Guardians of the National War Arena.
"WTF? What's going on? Why can't we revive anymore?"
"Oh my god, I don't know! What's the reason? Can't we even revive in the National War Arena?"
"This is bad, this is bad! There are game rules we don't know about!"
"Looks like we'll have to be careful from now on."
Before the shockwave arrived, the Guardians had been practically *trying* to get themselves killed in every way possible.
They had all been relying on the ability to vote for revival, especially those with Golden Talent and high combat power.
But now, with the inability to revive laid bare before them, they struggled to accept it.
Seeing the chat room erupt in chaos, Ninth Uncle spoke for the first time.
**Dragon Kingdom - Lin Fengjiao**: Fellow Guardians, please bear witness. This Kimchi Kingdom Guardian, Park Jeonghwan, has gone too far. In my righteous anger, I forcibly seized one of his souls and spirits and refined it into a zombie.
At these words, the Guardians were utterly shaken.
*Holy shit...*
*Is a Dragon Kingdom woman really this badass?!*
*She can forcibly seize a person's soul?!*
*Stealing people from the National War Arena?!*
*And she refined him into... a zombie?!*
What the hell was that? A vampire?
The Guardians fell silent, none daring to speak.
Qin Feng was also surprised.
"Heh, looks like Park Jeonghwan really pushed Ninth Uncle's buttons."
Earlier, Ninth Uncle had told him he'd taken a disciple and intended to protect the nation's borders for him.
Qin Feng naturally went along with Ninth Uncle's wishes.
He knew Ninth Uncle's character well: steady and measured. He wouldn't act rashly when taking on a disciple.
Besides, Ninth Uncle was a formidable warrior. What harm was there in taking on one or two disciples?
"Ninth Uncle, go ahead and do what you must! If you need to tear down the heavens, Sister Bao'er will back you up!"
It was precisely this statement that solidified Ninth Uncle's resolve to protect Suri.
However, when seeking Qin Feng's opinion, Ninth Uncle hadn't mentioned Park Jeonghwan's involvement.
Qin Feng hadn't anticipated the situation would be so serious.
Ninth Uncle felt awkward. It was his first time speaking in the chatroom, and he'd ended up killing the mood.
**Dragon Kingdom - Lin Fengjiao**: Fellow Guardians, please remain calm. This Daoist is a man of principles and will not slaughter the innocent. In the National War Arena, we must advance and retreat together, defending the nation's borders as one, and do our utmost to prevent monsters from breaching them. After all, as one of our colleagues wisely put it, Blue Star belongs to us all.
Qin Feng smiled.
"Ninth Uncle is still quite the idealist."
Little did they know, it would be a miracle if the Guardians didn't scheme against each other.
*Mutual assistance?*
*Don't be ridiculous...*
Qin Feng also knew that Ninth Uncle, as a devout cultivator, naturally held onto a sliver of idealism, forever clinging to hope in human nature.
Lin Fengjiao is right.
Absolutely.
Master, your wisdom is truly enlightening. I've learned so much.
Right, right, right...
In an instant, the Guardians, who had been wary of Ninth Uncle, rushed to flatter him.
*Someone who can kill even someone with Golden Talent—how could we possibly provoke such a person?*
*We can't...*
*Someone who can withhold souls needed for the National War Arena—how could we possibly provoke them?*
*We can't...*
*If we can't provoke him, we can only suck up!*
Niel Kingdom·Suri: Master, I... I've been revived!
Just then, Suri's private message arrived at Ninth Uncle's end.
Seeing this, Ninth Uncle finally felt relieved.
Dragon Kingdom·Lin Fengjiao: That's good, that's good.
Niel Kingdom·Suri: But Master, the three of us have applied to become vassal states of the Dragon Kingdom. Why is there still no response?
**Dragon Kingdom - Lin Fengjiao**: This... I'm not sure either.
As soon as she sent the message, she realized the problem must be with Miss Bao'er!
At that moment, Sister Bao'er was half-asleep and turned over, ready to go back to sleep.
Finally, the bright light of the "face-riding" selection box jolted her awake.
"What is this thing?"
Sister Bao'er immediately contacted Qin Feng. "Little brother, there's a box in front of me asking me to choose something. What should I do?"
Qin Feng: ...A box? What kind of box?
He was rushing back to the base when he heard Sister Bao'er's question and was utterly bewildered.
Qin Feng had been wandering around the Petroleum Lake for a long time, and even after Mark 3 arrived, they split up and searched separately. They still hadn't found the Sakura Kingdom's national gate.
Then he suddenly remembered that the System had rewarded him with Iron Man's workshop.
It was fully equipped with tools and materials. Why not create some small detection devices?
Things like target tracking and mapping the frontier could completely free up both him and Mark 3.
"Oh, it's just a box! It's asking me to choose between 'agree' or 'disagree' about becoming a vassal state or something."
Sister Bao'er's voice came through the earpiece.
"Oh..."
Qin Feng finally realized what Sister Bao'er meant by "that little box."
She had been delaying her decision on Niel Kingdom's request to become a vassal state. "Just click 'Agree' directly."
"Oh, got it."
Sister Bao'er decisively clicked "Agree."
**Battlefield Notification**: All three Guardians of the Dragon Kingdom have unanimously approved becoming the suzerain state of the Niel Kingdom.
When the battlefield announcement sounded, the other Guardians were stunned.
"Suzerain state? Is that even possible?"
"Does this mean the Niel Kingdom's Guardians are now under the protection of the Dragon Kingdom?"
"With rights comes corresponding obligations. It can't be that simple!"
"This relationship must be even stronger than an alliance."
While the Guardians were still trying to figure out what was happening, people from various Blue Star nations who understood the entire process and game rules reacted differently.
Dragon Kingdom netizens were filled with pride.
"Hahaha, the Dragon Kingdom is finally regaining a sliver of its former glory!"
"Isn't this basically making them a tributary state?"
"Ninth Uncle seems to have accidentally done something extraordinary."
"But it seems to be only affecting the National War Arena."
"You're thinking too small, upstairs. The real impact is on Blue Star's geopolitics. The Indian nation must be terrified right now, and the US should be panicking too."
"I don't understand. I only care about my husband."
