Lin Tian took out nine Portable Transmutation Tables and distributed them to the girls, keeping one for himself.
Looking at the small disc in her hand, Shinobu Kocho fiddled with it curiously. A beam of light shot out, within which floated various items.
Shinobu curiously tapped on a peony, and in the next moment, the peony appeared directly in her hand.
"This is really convenient!"
"There's an even more convenient way."
Hearing Shinobu's words, Lin Tian demonstrated a better method.
"Netherite Sword."
Lin Tian spoke to the transmutation table in his hand. The virtual items on it began to spin rapidly, quickly arriving at the Netherite Sword page. The image of the sword suddenly protruded and then appeared in Lin Tian's hand.
"Huh? It can be this convenient?"
Seeing Lin Tian's demonstration, Aoi Kanzaki also gave it a try. A pair of Elytra appeared in her hands, which she immediately put on. Then, a few fireworks appeared in her hands, and Aoi Kanzaki ran off.
Seeing this, Lin Tian facepalmed. Great, she's found a new toy.
Just then, a message came through the chat group.
[Emperor Through the Ages: Everyone, is this normal?]
[Emperor Through the Ages: Red_Moon.AVI]
Lin Tian opened the video and saw a blood-red moon hanging in the sky.
[Lord of the World: How long has this phenomenon been happening?]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: This is!]
[Silly Girl: No, it's not. Lord Madara, you're getting a bit obsessed.]
[Wandering the Mortal Realm: Have any other phenomena occurred? Like causing humans to mutate.]
[Emperor Through the Ages: I don't know. I don't know when the moon turned red either.]
[Emperor Through the Ages: But it must have just turned red. I was reviewing memorials just now, and I only found out when Wang Jian rushed in to tell me.]
[Emperor Through the Ages: According to him, it seems the moon was gradually being devoured?]
[Silly Girl: Could it be a total lunar eclipse? Because it looks like this during a total lunar eclipse.]
[Emperor Through the Ages: I know about total lunar eclipses, but I can't be sure about the current situation.]
[Emperor Through the Ages: Wait...]
After Ying Zheng sent that last message, he went offline.
Seeing him go offline, the members of the chat group became restless. This wasn't like him at all!
[Her Highness Ai: Are you okay?]
[I Am Just a Passerby: What happened?]
[Sister Looking for Her Brother: Don't tell me there's been an accident?]
Just as Lumine finished her sentence, a mission announcement appeared in the chat group.
[Group Mission: Invasion of the Strange World]
[The world of group member "Emperor Through the Ages," as a nascent world, has been coveted by a strange dimension and is currently being invaded. Group member "Emperor Through the Ages" is severely injured and in critical condition.]
[Requirement: Protect the group member's safety and minimize the erosion from the strange dimension as much as possible.]
[Note: This mission has no limit on the number of participants.]
[Reward: 200,000 points (to be distributed based on individual contribution)]
Seeing the group mission appear, everyone understood the gravity of the situation. After all, the last group mission only had a reward of 10,000 points, but this one had 200,000. Moreover, the requirement was only to minimize the erosion, which showed just how difficult it would be!
[Silly Girl: What should we do?]
[Silly Girl: This mission is clearly extremely difficult. It's best for those with lower strength not to go.]
Although Liu Yueyan didn't say it directly, everyone clearly knew who she was referring to.
[Her Highness Ai: Don't look down on me. I've learned a few moves over these past few days.]
[God's Tongue: That's right. We may not be strong, but we definitely have the ability to protect ourselves.]
[Her Highness Ai: At worst, if we encounter danger, we can just return to our own worlds.]
Since the two members widely considered the weakest in the group had spoken, the others couldn't say much.
[Silly Girl: In that case, is everyone going? Is there anyone who doesn't want to go?]
[Fallen Angel: Um...]
[Silly Girl: Little Gab, you have to go!]
[Fallen Angel: ...]
[Silly Girl: Any objections?]
[Lord of the World: None.]
[Shinobu Who Loves Her Sister: None.]
[Hellish Blizzard: None.]
[Sister Looking for Her Brother: None.]
[Mad Love for Hashirama: None.]
[I Love Frying Pans: None.]
[Wandering the Mortal Realm: None.]
[God's Tongue: None.]
[I Am Just a Passerby: None.]
[Her Highness Ai: None.]
[Super True Newbie: None.]
[Fallen Angel: N...one.]
[Silly Girl: Alright, since no one has any objections, let's all go together!]
[Confirmed that all group members will participate in the mission. Planar travel will commence in ten minutes. Participants, please prepare.]
[Note: You may bring people on this mission.]
Hearing that they could bring people, everyone became excited again. If they could bring others, the chances of success would be much greater!
Suddenly, Lumine brought up a very important question.
[Sister Looking for Her Brother: By the way, can the First Emperor hold on for that long?]
[Emperor Through the Ages: I'm fine for now. I still have Golden Apples.]
Learning that Ying Zheng was still safe, everyone felt a little relieved and began to prepare their teams.
In Liu Yueyan's world.
After Liu Yueyan explained the situation to her father, Liu Yantian immediately became serious.
His ancestor's world was being invaded?
Although it was a parallel world, the blood flowing in their veins was the same. They couldn't just stand by and watch! Moreover, this was a large-scale gathering; they had to present themselves well!
Liu Yueyan watched as her father took out an old-fashioned Nokia, said something to someone, and then told her to follow him outside.
Somewhat bewildered, Liu Yueyan followed her father.
They arrived at a plaza, and in less than three minutes, five helicopters flew over.
Then, Liu Yueyan saw nearly 50 people disembark from the five helicopters.
An old man with white hair and a white beard walked over, saluted, and said, "Hello, Miss Liu."
"Ah? Oh! Hello, hello!" Liu Yueyan quickly returned the salute.
"Here's the situation, I'll be brief. These fifty people are our country's most elite unit right now. Each one has the strength to kill a stone golem with their bare hands. At the same time, we've equipped them with the most advanced weaponry."
"And they will be responsible for protecting your safety."
After listening, Liu Yueyan nodded, still a bit dazed. She had no idea this unit even existed. Was this a top national secret?
"Uh, hello everyone?"
In other worlds, everyone was also finding teammates. Except for Madara Uchiha, who was alone, all the others had teams of at least two.
Lin Tian brought everyone from the MC world with him. After all, the system was now in hibernation, but the girls who shared his constitution were still around. Their help would definitely be significant. Lin Tian had also given them Portable Transmutation Tables, so they could take Totems of Undying whenever they wanted. They were currently selling things to the transmutation table, and the EMC value had already surpassed 350,000.
Fubuki was taking her older sister. She had considered bringing the Bald Cape, but it just so happened that today was the day Boros arrived, and he couldn't be absent, or the Earth would be destroyed! So Fubuki didn't bring him.
These past few days, Lumine had returned to Mondstadt to participate in the Windblume Festival. Now that there was a mission, Lumine directly pulled in the boozy bard Venti and the Dragon of the East, Dvalin. As for the others, Lumine didn't inform them, because she didn't know how great the crisis in that world was, and she didn't want to involve others.
Zhongli brought along a group of Adepti. Incredibly, yet perhaps expectedly, the erosion on Zhongli had been eliminated. Even the karmic debt on Xiao and the erosion on Azhdaha had been healed. It had to be said, milk plus Enchanted Golden Apples was just too authoritative!
Shiho Miyano went alone. She didn't want her older sister to be in danger. Besides, her deal with Lin Tian was nearing its term, and she had to find an opportunity to shrink herself, but she needed a good excuse. This was the perfect chance.
Wolffy also went alone, but with his abilities as a gag character, he might honestly be able to directly decipher the operational code of the strange dimension.
Men Yashi was accompanied by Madame Kaito.
Ash Ketchum brought all the Pokémon he had collected with him. Having seen the original series, he had indeed changed a little and no longer casually released the Pokémon he had collected or gave them away to others.
Erina Nakiri was also alone. After all, her world was a slice-of-life world, and only she had superpowers. Bringing others would be completely useless.
Finally, there was Gabriel. This time, she brought not only Vignette but also her older sister, Zelel. After she returned last time, she was caught red-handed by her sister, who now insisted on going with her no matter what.
Finally, the ten minutes of preparation time were up. The blue vortex opened!
