As spatial rifts capable of accommodating beings above the Law level opened in the Eternal Night world, dense dark spiritual energy swept across the globe, causing a continuous increase in dark creatures.
However, for the Dragon Kingdom, which already possessed a Fortune Shield and sensor devices, these low-level dark creatures were no longer sufficient to pose a threat of awakening seeds being devoured.
Wherever the golden light shone, all demons and monsters within the country were exposed. Even the wormhole connecting to the Eternal Night world had been repaired, playing a crucial role in the peaceful development of the people.
At that time, dark creatures raged outside the Fortune Shield. They were neither demon nor ghost, and although not particularly powerful, their sheer numbers meant they had occupied nearly 60% of the Earth's landmass.
In addition, due to the influx of laws from the Eternal Night world, some dark creatures possessed rapid evolutionary traits and had begun to infiltrate the oceans.
"Roar!"
In unclaimed territories like Oceania and Nannizhou, terrifying law-based creatures roared and poured out from the rifts. Upon appearing, they greedily devoured the life force of the land, rapidly recovering and establishing their own territories before fiercely fighting to defend them.
The three nations of demons, monsters, and spirits contracted their forces, confronting the creatures invading from the rifts above their territories, leaving them with no capacity to attend to anything else.
The demon nation suffered the most.
As oceans occupied 71% of the planet's surface, they faced far more opponents than other nations.
In particular, among the creatures invading from the Eternal Night world were aquatic beings. Upon arriving on Earth, they immediately plunged into the oceans, causing immense trouble for the demon nation.
Compelled by necessity, the Dragon King of the demon nation had to shrink his sphere of influence. However, even so, facing the frenzied Eternal Night creatures, they could not avoid numerous fierce battles, and this was merely a microcosm.
The entire planet, except for the Dragon Kingdom, and almost all enemy territories, including the outer perimeter of the Dragon Kingdom's shield, had fallen into chaos.
Despite this, the Fortune Shield began to waver, and a large number of extraordinary creatures started attacking it.
In the distant Star Frontier region, the Star Frontier University of Supernaturals had begun a full mobilization for war.
On the vast plaza, the university's Chancellor, Ilal, a wind and earth dual-element supernatural known as the Desert Emperor, was delivering a passionate speech on stage:
"My fellow countrymen, protecting the national borders is the undeniable responsibility of us supernaturals. Now that a large number of Eternal Night creatures are attacking the Fortune Shield at the Star Frontier border, it is time for us to strike! We cannot place all the burdens solely on Mr. Yu Zhibo and Mr. Wang Shouyi."
"Director Hawole of the Divine Splendor Bureau has already led his troops to the border to construct defensive lines. We naturally cannot enjoy privileges without shouldering obligations. I now announce that all students of C-class or above are conscripted to accompany me to the border to defend the shield. Anyone unwilling to go, or with other special reasons, may step forward now!"
After speaking, Chancellor Ilal's sharp gaze fell upon the thousands of figures below. These were all the students of the university, including many newly awakened F-class ability users.
"I am willing to go!"
"I am willing to go too!"
"As supernaturals, why should we fear a fight, or hesitate to fight! Chancellor, just issue a campus mission, no need for mobilization, it's a waste of time!"
"Kill, kill, kill! Let's just do it!"
Below, many students were filled with fervor, as if injected with stimulants.
A few timid ones, afraid of violence and bloodshed, were also stirred by the atmosphere, their blood boiling, and they roared with excitement.
Seeing that morale was high, the Chancellor nodded with satisfaction, stroking his thick beard, his eyes filled with admiration.
Just as he was about to order all C-class students to prepare for battle, a discordant voice emerged from the crowd.
"I have an objection!"
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth with fiery red hair, holding a red-tasseled spear, strode out from the crowd, his expression defiant.
Among the surrounding crowd with deep, sculpted features, this youth bore the delicate, clear features characteristic of East Asians, making him one of the few Han people at the university.
Initially, the Chancellor thought someone was shirking combat and was about to get angry. However, upon sensing the youth's level, he seemed to understand something, and his gaze instantly softened.
Under his gaze, the youth, holding his spear, strode forward, meeting his gaze fearlessly, and shouted, "Why can only those above C-class go to defend the border? Although I am only D-class, I have slain sixteen C-class vengeful spirits and eight equally C-class dark creatures. Does level explain everything? I am not convinced!"
As the youth stepped forward, many D-class ability users' eyes lit up, and they began to clamor:
"Exactly, why can C-class go, but we D-class can only stay put? Chancellor, this is discrimination!"
"Are D-class not people?"
Another discordant voice chimed in: "E-class can also fight..."
"Get lost, E-class dogs, I can cripple you with one skill!"
"Damn it, come out and fight!"
"I think D-class can go, but E-class really needs to work harder, they're not worthy!"
"What are you barking about, Ai Maiti? I, an E-class, can still defeat you!"
The plaza was a cacophony of voices, with students creating a great commotion, which, while gratifying the Chancellor, also gave him a severe headache.
"Silence!" The Chancellor silenced the uproar and looked at the red-haired youth who had just stepped forward, "What is your name!"
The red-haired youth raised his head and replied, "Wang Li, Class Six, D-class!"
The Chancellor nodded slightly and said kindly, "Classmate Wang Li, I can understand your patriotic spirit, but the battle at the border is no small matter. You are only D-class, your mental power cannot even be projected externally, and you might lose combat effectiveness from a single mental shock on the battlefield. It's best to stay at the university."
"I have killed twenty-four C-class individuals!" Wang Li said solemnly, "I believe I can!"
The Chancellor's expression turned stern, "If I say no, then it's no. The border defense battle is different from flexible combat during past training. If beasts of A-class or above attack the strongholds, those whose mental power cannot be projected externally will be the first to die. It's best to stay at the university and attend classes!"
Wang Li narrowed his eyes, "Although my mental power cannot be projected externally, it is extremely resilient, no less than ordinary C-class ability users. If you don't believe me, you can call someone to fight me!"
Seeing the youth still insisting, the Chancellor smiled helplessly and slightly turned his head towards a figure with white hair in the ranks, saying, "Aisheim, step forward!"
A girl with short hair and ice-like hair and eyes stepped out from the crowd, casting a indifferent glance at Wang Li.
The moment the girl stepped forward, a commotion erupted around them:
"Holy crap, isn't that the Chancellor's granddaughter? A rare dual-element user of Ice and Space!"
"She's a goddess! Although only C-class, she has previously killed a B-class existence. The combination of Ice and Space abilities is like cheating."
"This is going to be interesting."
Facing the surrounding discussions, Wang Li did not feel intimidated; instead, his eyes blazed with fighting spirit, "You are Aisheim? Come and fight!"
Ten seconds later.
Wang Li flew backward, his body crashing heavily onto the weapon rack beside the plaza, scattering weapons everywhere.
"Overestimating yourself!"
The girl scoffed and returned to the ranks.
The youth lying on the weapon rack remained motionless. Just as others thought he might have fainted, a surge of powerful aura unique to C-class spread outwards from his dantian.
The youth, bathed in crimson flames, stood up, propping himself with his spear, his hair flying wildly in the flames without a single strand being damaged.
He looked at Aisheim, who had just defeated him, "Again!"
He paused, then added, "I take back what I said earlier, D-class is indeed not fit to fight!"
The surroundings immediately erupted in an uproar:
"Holy shit, this backstab is faster than the Eye Emperor's Flying Thunder God!"
"Scoundrel, have some shame!"
"Damn it!"
"Sword tomb!"
