————————

Yu Yuan stared at the new card that had appeared in the Book of Fate.

"An attack type... and with such wide coverage."

Yu Yuan knew that another trump card had just been added to his arsenal.

A Gold-tier Celestial Phenomenon Card would only realize its maximum value when used against Gold-tier creatures.

He walked to the observation deck of the Starry Sky Observatory and looked out at the endless white snow.

Nearly a month had passed since the Endless Cold Wave entered its third phase.

During this time, the lowest ambient temperature in the Green Forest World had plummeted to -87 degrees Celsius.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this temperature a no-go zone for life.

The only ones capable of living comfortably in such an environment.

Were probably the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend clan in the Greenwood Sea.

Just then, a message arrived from Xiao Xi.

Yu Yuan immediately teleported to the Moon Shadow's Breath world.

"Master!"

"How did the meeting go? Did Gurlad show up?"

Yu Yuan was very curious about Gurlad.

After some thought, he felt he had a rough idea of why Gurlad's temperament had become so volatile.

He remembered that when he had seized Lilith's bloodline, upon detecting that it was connected to a Gold-tier lifeform.

Yu Yuan had used a Gold-tier Celestial Phenomena Card - The Signs of Frenzy.

That card's effect was to sever all of Lilith's connections to the outside world and apply the [Frenzy] debuff to all related entities.

Perhaps this was the reason behind the Blood Clan Progenitor's irritable personality.

However, he still needed confirmation.

"The Progenitor is very aggressive. His emotions are somewhat unstable and he has a strong offensive streak, but because of that, he seems to hold me in high regard."

"Oh?"

Yu Yuan's eyes brightened slightly. It seemed his speculation could now be confirmed.

But after Xiao Xi finished recounting the details of the meeting, Yu Yuan couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise.

This...

He never expected Gurlad to think so highly of Xiao Xi.

Back then, he had used a Silver-tier [Slander Card] on her.

And the results had proven that this [Slander Card] was exceptionally powerful.

Night Ancient, as Xiao Xi's direct Elder, had subsequently developed estrangement and suspicion toward her.

Yu Yuan's smooth takeover of Moon Shadow's Breath owed much to his own efforts, but that [Slander Card] had also played a crucial role.

Now Gurlad was able to see through the effects of the Slander Card, recognize Xiao Xi's potential and strength, and actively nurture her.

That was no easy feat.

This was excellent news!

"Could it be that Silver-tier cards have no effect on beings above Gold?"

That was merely Yu Yuan's speculation.

Of course, from Gurlad's words, it wasn't hard to see that he also intended to use Xiao Xi as bait.

But Yu Yuan didn't mind.

Moon Shadow's Breath was already his, and if Gurlad was willing to nurture her, that was something Yu Yuan welcomed with open arms.

"So, Night Ancient will be sending you rewards soon?"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Xiao Xi suddenly fell silent, her gaze fixed ahead.

She was clearly looking at a Virtual Light Screen.

After a moment, Xiao Xi turned to Yu Yuan.

"Master, the reward supplies have arrived."

When Xiao Xi produced 1,000 bottles of Epic-tier Blood Brew, along with five Silver-tier Civilization Buildings and five Epic five-star Blueprints...

Both Xiao Xi and Yu Yuan were stunned.

The five Silver-tier Civilization Buildings were all, without exception, related to Blood Energy - a perfect match for Xiao Xi's situation.

Once deployed, her sustained combat capabilities would skyrocket.

That went without saying.

But those five Epic five-star Blueprints made Yu Yuan's eyes gleam with excitement.

- [Amphibious Concept Shielded Hover Tank]: Hover movement, equipped with shields, ferocious firepower, loaded with missile launch units and mimicry camouflage functions.

- [Metz Flying Fortress]: An air carrier, capable of carrying carrier-based aircraft and armored units, equipped with shields. Main cannon is an Electromagnetic Pulse Cannon, secondary weapons are plasma cannons, paired with air-to-air launch units and close-in weapon system launch units.

- [Ruins Mech Experimental Factory]: Capable of producing powerful walking mechs.

- [Destroyer Beta Rifle]: A combat weapon with extremely destructive power. Its only drawbacks are its extreme energy consumption and the requirement that the wielder possess a robust physique.

- [Tarlus City Laser Defense Tower]: Intercepts enemy attacks within a five-kilometer range, possesses an annihilation effect, and can provide auxiliary attacks against enemies entering its range.

——————

Yu Yuan had never even seen Epic five-star items before. Even in Mortarian's civilization relic, the highest grade had only been Epic four-star.

Clearly, Night Ancient had pulled out items he'd been keeping at the bottom of his chest.

Any one of these blueprints, if released to the public, would shake the Civilization Ladder to its core.

Never mind Silver-tier players - even Gold-tier players wouldn't be able to resist.

"Gurlad really does value you highly!"

Having said that, Yu Yuan was already smiling.

The more Gurlad valued Xiao Xi, the better. If he didn't value her, how could Yu Yuan get his hands on these things?

But these items didn't come for free.

"Master, Night Ancient has sent a message requesting that the upcoming civilization war be won cleanly and decisively."

"Is that so!" Yu Yuan quickly formed a plan.

"Request construction resources from him. The resources needed to build these five blueprints are no small amount. Without construction resources, these blueprints are nothing but scrap paper. Ask him for resource support - request as much as you possibly can."

Xiao Xi let out a soft chuckle at that.

"Understood!"

-

The war on the Moon Shadow's Breath side came later than Yu Yuan had expected.

The news that Blood Clan Progenitor Gurlad had bestowed rewards upon Moon Shadow's Breath spread quickly to the other factions on the Civilization Ladder.

Other players became even more wary of her because of it.

If the claim that Moon Shadow's Breath had taken down Artus on the Civilization Ladder was still just a rumor...

Her elimination of Black Ice was a verifiable fact.

This also served to prove her ability to challenge enemies above her rank, making people even more convinced that Artus had indeed died at her hands.

Now, with Gurlad's rewards further boosting her strength...

Even the Bloodlands was deliberating over who to send to crack this hard nut called Moon Shadow's Breath.

Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization was going all out, seizing every second to grow stronger.

Victor of the Burning Fortress had been brought by Yu Yuan to Dead Mine Town.

Maguire and the other nuclear weapons experts brought back from the Dawn Consortium had everything prepared.

All they needed was for the Uranium Ore to arrive, and they could begin development of nuclear weapons.

The Dawn Consortium's nuclear test site had also been fully renovated.

The team of experts, escorted by the Pioneering Group, made their way to the nuclear test site.

Xu Ke and the other geologists had pinpointed the final location of the Uranium Ore.

Victor's arrival was to complete this final piece of work.

The biological research institute had been fully relocated to the Morphis Civilization Relic.

With Yu Yuan's authorization and Jiu Feng's identity as the inheritor, the biological research institute smoothly settled into the various laboratories.

The Bloodsucking Werewolf Genetic Modification Serum was essentially complete, leaving only the final injection trial.

Jiu Feng had also begun research on the Silver-tier virus-enhanced serums obtained earlier.

With prior research experience on the Promiz Virus, combined with the microbiological knowledge left behind by Mortarian...

The research on the Arnold Virus was proceeding remarkably smoothly.

In just a few days, Jiu Feng had successfully cultivated a strain of the Arnold Virus.

The organ that had been left in the central area of the [Legendary Creature Protection Organ Vault] was retrieved by Jiu Feng.

To be used as a fusion material for crafting the Silver-tier virus-enhanced serum.

Yu Yuan left that decision entirely to Jiu Feng's discretion.

At this critical moment when everything was steadily advancing, Yu Yuan didn't receive the civilization war from Moon Shadow's Breath.

Instead, he received a civilization war of his own.
