[World 22, Sin City]
Within Dragon Nation's borders, inside the nation's territory, the defenses were tight and strict.
At present, the entire national territory was covered with Dragon Nation's high-level professionals of level 400 and above.
Dragon Clan, Dragon Soar, Shengjie, Demon God.
The main forces of all top-tier guilds in Dragon Nation had all gathered within the World 22.
The World 22, more strictly guarded than ever.
The will of the citizens was to protect the Resurrection God Stone currently in its resurrection phase.
Or rather, they were protecting the heroic figures of Dragon Nation.
Including the one used by Bear Nation to resurrect General Ivankov, there were a total of six God Stones, still floating in the air, each radiating golden brilliance.
At this moment, Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, Seraph, and Restiev were guarding the nearest positions to the God Stones.
This guard had already lasted through one night.
"Only 12 more hours, and the guidance of the Resurrection God Stones will be complete."
As the moment of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel approached, the emotions of everyone on the field became increasingly excited.
However, at the same time, they did not let down their guard for even a moment.
Because people from countries dissatisfied with Dragon Nation might attack and cause trouble at any time.
At this time, Ice Emperor, stationed at the edge of the Resurrection God Stone, said to Wolong and Restiev, "Let's rotate shifts. Staying up all night without food or drink will exhaust our bodies. Elder Dragon, you and President Restiev go offline to eat and rest for a bit."
Wolong held his Zen staff, standing guard beside the Resurrection God Stone, gazing at the stone with fiery eyes, "You guys go. I'll stay and guard."
Ice Emperor said to Wolong, "We're fine, mainly it's you, Elder Dragon…"
Obviously concerned that Wolong was too old and might not be able to endure this kind of stress.
But Wolong was meticulous, "I'll go offline when Master Xuan Lan is resurrected."
After all, Wolong had waited a full century for this day.
He had once personally witnessed the deaths of Long Er and Xuan Lan. This time, Wolong had to witness their resurrection with his own eyes.
At this moment, Restiev said, "In that case, Mr. Wolong and I will stay. You all go rest first."
"Although there has been no movement up until now, in my opinion, the seven major nations definitely won't let go of this opportunity. They could launch a surprise attack at any time, and we must stay alert. I'll stay here. If anything sudden happens, I can handle it."
Just as everyone was pushing and insisting on who should go offline to rest—
A message suddenly came from outside, "In the southern area of Sin City, on the Sin Mountain Range map, a level-3 beast tide has suddenly broken out."
Upon hearing this news, Seraph had just stood up, and Moon Mark beside him said, "We haven't seen a beast tide in years. The outbreak of a level-3 beast tide in the World 22 at this time is clearly a disturbance deliberately caused by someone."
Ice Emperor spoke in a deep voice, "Looks like they are finally beginning to act."
"Send someone to quell the beast tide first to avoid chaos."
At this moment, the level 495 eight-rebirth epic Divine Might Archer · Longwei Wanli, president of Dragon Soar Guild, stood up and said, "I'll go!"
With that, Longwei Wanli immediately led more than a dozen level 480 eight-rebirth professionals from Dragon Soar Guild to head to [Sin Mountain Range].
After all, for these high-level professionals, the World 22 was just a low-level realm. Facing a beast tide of a bit over level 100—let alone level-3, even level-6 or level-7 beast tides could be handled with just a few people.
The rest continued to guard near the Resurrection God Stones.

On the other side—
Longwei Wanli, leading the guild members, quickly arrived at the Sin Mountain Range.
Looking ahead, sure enough, within the vast mountain range, countless Sin Envoys surged like a tide, forming a massive beast tide, surging through the mountains.
At the outer edge, a group of inland professionals from the World 22 were resisting the beast tide.
These professionals, who were currently challenging the World 22 at level 120+, found it nearly impossible to withstand a level-3 beast tide of level 120+ monsters.
A team of a dozen was about to be swallowed by the beast tide.
At this moment, Longwei Wanli and his teammates immediately sprang into action.
The dozen people Longwei Wanli had brought were all archers. With their level and strength, they only needed to snipe from a distance.
Dozens of arrows were drawn and released simultaneously.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Countless sharp arrows formed a dense rain of arrows, falling upon the dense army of Sin Envoys.
All Sin Envoys hit by arrows were instantly killed.
480+ level professionals versus level 120+ mobs was pure slaughter.
In the mountain range, wave after wave of Sin Envoys surged like tides, charging outward continuously.
Longwei Wanli and several teammates gave it their all to kill them.
In an instant, this wave of beast tide was wiped out by the dozen Dragon Soar Guild members.
According to inquiries made with the on-site professionals, Longwei Wanli learned: this beast tide was not naturally formed, but was caused by a sudden outbreak of a powerful energy inside the mountains. All Sin Envoys in the mountain range were disturbed by that energy and, in a frenzy, gathered into a beast tide.
So Longwei Wanli led his people into the interior of the mountain range.
When Longwei Wanli reached the depths of the mountain range, he suddenly saw an area connecting two mountain ridges. Floating at low altitude was a huge triangular light curtain, dozens of meters tall.
Within the light curtain, a dazzling blue light radiated, and an endless stream of energy continuously spread out from within.
This energy seemed to form a strong magnetic field, gradually engulfing the entire mountain range.
On-site, the dozen Dragon Soar Guild professionals were all stunned by the sight before them.
"What is this thing?"
"Feels like I've seen this kind of phenomenon somewhere before…"
Just as everyone was confused, Longwei Wanli suddenly seemed to realize something and exclaimed in shock, "Spatial rift!"
"Eastern Nation's spatial rift! Quickly notify the higher-ups, Eastern Nation is invading!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before his companions could send out any signal, from that triangular light curtain, countless flaming fireballs suddenly shot out, forming a rain of fire that covered the ground.
The Dragon Soar Guild professionals were caught off guard and were engulfed by the fire rain.
Amid a chorus of screams, all were instantly killed.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
More than a dozen beams of light lit up.
Relying on his movement to avoid most of the attacks, the only survivor, Longwei Wanli, looked ahead and saw a large group of black-clad professionals stepping out from the light curtain.
Those professionals were all at least level 450, and the mandatory national emblem displayed above their heads showed they were from the [Oil] Empire.
One of the Seven Great Nations.
Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Longwei Wanli knew he had no way out. He immediately drew his bow and shot a signal arrow into the sky…
