The white light occasionally flickered for less than 1/10th of a second.

But many NPCs and players hiding in the buildings were terrified.

Many knew what that white light signified.

Schurke and Lucas were simply admiring the scene before them.

There was no need to take action.

In just a moment, Qiu Yu City had fallen under their control.

Things progressed swiftly to this point, in part thanks to Schurke.

The Foreigner's Association was supposed to come quickly.

If they had arrived, things would not have been as simple as they were now.

It was Schurke who severed connections between the cities to Qiu Yu City.

Lucas had heard the name before, though most locals regarded Schurke as a fairy tale.

A legend, a boogeyman for adults.

Everyone was surprised when he appeared in the meeting room.

He presented everyone with a quick plan to return Qiu Yu City to the City of Azure Flames.

He also revealed to them how to trigger the "White Night."

White Night would be born from the flames of the Azure Flame Divine Sword.

When the temperature of the Azure Flame burns into white fire, engulfing everything.

That would be the moment White Night is complete.

Lucas didn't completely trust him, but he had to admit that the man's power was immeasurable.

Looking at his cultivation, it was like staring into a bottomless pit.

Schurke pulled up his sleeve, revealing the antique wristwatch on his hand.The design featured many bronze gears, with clock hands adorned in gothic patterns.

"It's almost time for the Foreigner's Association to counterattack, so be careful," Schurke said.

Lucas nodded.

The Foreigner's Association was not an organization to be underestimated.

Some time ago, they suddenly appeared at the Outer God's Harbor from the southern seas.

Along with them came an uncountable number of people from foreign lands to the continent.

Very quickly, this organization expanded and connected with nearly all factions.

An organization building an unparalleled force, with manpower reaching hundreds of millions in just a few days.

No faction could overlook the Association.

Manpower, Financial Power, Political Power.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

The Association possessed them all.

Lucas had once asked the Association’s envoy about their stance on the White Night.

They simply said, "It all depends on the outsiders."

"But it's best if it doesn't happen soon, or else we'll have a big headache."

Lucas vaguely understood that they sided with neutrality.

Whether the White Night occurred or not, it was the same to them.

However, considering the Association's actions at this time, it was still too early for it to happen in their view.

Giovanni and Nightingale both used their influence to limit the authority of the outsiders within their faction.

If anything were to happen after the White Night, the Association still existing would not let them off easily.

At the DMG Headquarters, there was an urgent meeting to plan what should be done.

The longer they ignored Unholda Kaiser and his allies, the more incidents and hidden disasters could befall the First World.

Unholda Kaiser continued to face the fierce flames of the Azure Flame Divine Sword.

No part of his body was melting from those flames.

It felt as if flesh and bones were melting away. Yet, he couldn't die.

The agony of countless nerves burning to ashes, only to regenerate.

This excruciating pain would have long broken the spirit of any human.

The only reason Unholda Kaiser could stand firm against these flames was the Blessing of the Demon King.

The Clones, attacking and hunting players across all corners of Qiu Yu City, did not cease due to this Blessing.

Those who received the Blessing of the Demon King, besides gaining the immortality effect that prevented their health from dropping below 20%, also gained another special effect.

It only affected NPCs, acting like a form of brainwashing.

All these clones could think of was the Demonic Path.

To do everything for the Demon King to control the Heavenly Path. To establish the Demonic Path.

Thus, they were truly willing to risk their lives for the great cause of the Demon King.

At this moment, on the ground were countless soldiers of Unholda Kaiser and Zombies created from players.

In the sky were myriads of Artificial Angels.

The scene in Qiu Yu City now resembled an apocalyptic landscape.

Nightingale clasped her hands in prayer, while the old man Giovanni leapt down onto the streets, strolling through the scenario he himself had orchestrated.

His beak-shaped mask made him look even more like a harbinger of death.Lucas waved his hand, summoning a glass of red wine before them.

"Come, let's toast!"

The other two smiled and accepted the wine.

Giovanni grinned behind his mask but did not drink.

He shouldn't remove his mask in this toxic fog.

Nightingale drank her glass of wine at ease.

"He's coming! My god!!! My lord~~~!!!!"

Her face appeared extremely excited.

The Holy Nation adheres to the belief in a single Deity.

Most other factions tend to worship an ancient deity.

The sects of the Extreme East often worship the strongest individuals within their sect, their ancestors.

Meanwhile, in the Extreme West, they often worship those who once wielded the Heavenly Path.

Many worship the Yaoguai God, Immortals, Saints.

Many names are given to those at the level capable of wielding the Heavenly Path.

Most are based on their origin. The Extreme East prefers the term Immortal, while the Extreme West favors the term God.

It also depends on the race, with terms like Yaoguai God, Demon God, and others.

For the Holy Nation, one of the nations considered the strongest in the Extreme West, they worship the Apocalypse God.

And they regard the Apocalypse God as the one true god.All other gods are false.

Legend has it that the Apocalypse God is both the creator and the one who will end the world.

The First World was born when the Apocalypse God began a new day.

In the Apocalypse God's perception, a new day starts when night falls.

A day ends when light shines.

Therefore, all things begin in darkness and end with light.

All creation is enveloped by His light and from that darkness, all things are formed.

And when the Apocalypse God goes to Sleep, He reignites the white flame to illuminate humanity.

So that the white flame may burn the world away, laying the foundation for a new world of tomorrow.

The White Night event is recorded in history.

It is the final day of the world when the Apocalypse God ends His day.

Ending the world once more in preparation for rebirth.

Every citizen, every follower of the Apocalypse God, must understand this clearly.One must not prevent the White Night. Accept the end of the world.

By doing so, their souls are allowed to enter the world of tomorrow.

To once again spread their faith to humanity.

To live eternally alongside the Apocalypse God.

The end is merely the beginning.

Giovanni looked at Nightingale with a feeling of exhaustion.

He did not care for the beliefs of the Holy Nation, but right now they were in the same boat.

The faith of Atrum Pestis is to worship a Demon God.

Atrum.
