Night fell, and darkness descended, blanketing the entire event map in blackness. The previously bustling map finally welcomed a rare moment of tranquility.
Apart from Zhou Yan's territory, which, under Zhang Liang's command, continued its assault on the next unlucky target, everyone else was waiting for the event to end.
The event was scheduled to conclude precisely at midnight, 00:00:00.
The lord being attacked by Zhang Liang was bewildered. He watched as terrifying streams of energy rained down from the sky, relentlessly striking his protective barrier. He couldn't believe that someone would launch an attack at this hour.
It was nighttime; why would anyone initiate an assault now?
And such a terrifying, high-level offensive—could it be that many powerful individuals were attacking?
This lord immediately dispatched scouts to investigate.
Before he could ponder further, the fearsome elemental energy completely tore through his defensive formations and began to spread across his territory. The enemy army, gathered and launched an assault on his lands, resulting in their complete annihilation and the swift destruction of his territory.
"So fast!" the lord was stunned. He didn't even know who the enemy was before his territory's protective barrier was breached.
Then, a terrifying energy engulfed him, and he was thus eliminated, without even understanding why.
Zhang Liang continued his advance towards the next target.
This continued until the end of the event, leaving the attacked lords seething with anger. They thought they were safe, only to find themselves unable to escape disaster in the end.

...
This announcement repeated ten times.
Everyone was teleported back to their territories, then to the Lord Continent, where the point rankings and redemption space were activated.
"Finally, it's over," Zhou Yan said as he saw himself back in his territory. He then issued a territory announcement to all his subordinates: "Everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest. Commander Bai, make sure everything is arranged."
Bai Qi quickly assembled the generals under his command and instructed them to let their soldiers rest, as they would be leading miners again tomorrow.
With all arrangements made, Bai Qi and the others returned to their residences to cultivate.
Zhou Yan, however, did not rest. He eagerly opened the point rankings, wanting to know his exact position, a detail that all lords were desperate to find out.
Zhou Yan looked at his points: over five hundred thousand.
He checked his rank and found himself at one hundred and twenty-eighth thousand and thirty-first place.
While a bit surprised, it was understandable.
The Lord Continent world contained so many top-tier lords, some possessing even demigod strength, capable of single-handedly destroying other territories.
Out of the tens of billions of lords, while three billion participated in the farming mode, seven billion engaged in combat. For Zhou Yan to rank within the top ten thousand among seven billion lords was something to be proud of.
[Do you wish to claim Lord Ranking Rewards?]
Upon clicking his ranking, Zhou Yan heard a prompt and proceeded to claim his rewards.
[Soul Coins + 100 Billion, Spirit Coins + 100 Billion, Mid-Autumn Limited Spirit Gear Set (Seven Pieces), Prestige + 10,000, SSS-Quality Mid-Autumn Random Building Chest x1, Mid-Autumn Event Limited Platinum Medal x1.]
Zhou Yan was greatly surprised by these rewards, amazed at how abundant they were. One hundred billion Soul Coins!
And a seven-piece Spirit Gear Set, a limited edition, unobtainable outside of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Most importantly, he had received another high-quality building chest.
"A medal, I've never seen this before," Zhou Yan took out the medal. It was a platinum-colored badge, and he clicked on its attributes to view them.
[Equipment: Mid-Autumn Limited Medal]

[Durability: None]
[Attribute 1: Open Treasure Chest Soul Coin +60%]
[Attribute 2: Open Treasure Chest Spirit Coin +60%]
[Attribute 3: Cultivation Speed +60%]

[Attribute 6: All Attributes +60]
[Equipment Requirement: Bound Item, Untradeable]
[Description: Mid-Autumn Event Limited Medal. Obtain rankings in previous Mid-Autumn events to upgrade the medal's quality.]
This medal was a special type of equipment, and it was bound, meaning it could not be traded with anyone else.
The medal depicted a circular moon with a small rabbit, resembling the Mid-Autumn rabbits they had hunted.
He affixed the medal to his chest, and his strength increased slightly.
He examined the Mid-Autumn limited set and decided to give it to Bai Qi. Bai Qi had contributed greatly to this Mid-Autumn event, and as a marshal, he deserved good equipment.
Zhou Yan had the set of equipment delivered to Bai Qi's residence, confident that it would significantly boost his strength.
Finally, Zhou Yan took out the Mid-Autumn chest. This chest was different from others; it was round, shaped like a moon, fitting the Mid-Autumn theme.
Upon opening the round chest, a beam of moonlight emerged.
[Obtained SSS Barracks: Moonlit Sorcerer!]
Zhou Yan was surprised. It was another barracks building, and this one was for sorcerers, similar to mages. This meant he had gained a new type of ranged unit.
He had previously wanted to obtain a mage-type barracks, but such buildings were scarce elsewhere, and he hadn't acquired one yet.
Zhou Yan looked at the barracks, curious about what it could evolve into.
He approached the barracks and immediately clicked to build.
The building in his hand transformed into light, appeared on an empty plot of land, and was then enveloped in a colorful glow.
Territory Notification: "Constructing [Moonlit Sorcerer]. [Moonlit Sorcerer] evolves into [Guanghan Fairy]."
"Guanghan Fairy!" Zhou Yan was shocked! ヽ(°▽、°)ﾉ
A peculiar building appeared before him. It exuded an extremely cold yet ethereal aura, a strange palace. Looking inside, it conveyed an indescribable sense of loneliness.
