Like viscous blood gathering together and solidifying on the canvas of the starry sky, a round blood-colored moon quietly emerged in the night sky at a certain moment.

Above the bleak dark sea, a dark red light swayed on the rippling surface of the ocean, enveloping the sea like a diluted piece of blood.

As a result, countless creatures in the ocean were thrown into a violent chaos.

Schools of sardines, whales, sharks...... All the beings living in the shallow layers of the ocean are now rushing to the deeper depths of the ocean that the dark red light cannot radiate, completely ignoring whether they can withstand the corresponding environmental pressure.

After a Blood Moon, a large number of lives are distorted into a myriad of strange xenomorphs, and this distortion represents death in a sense.

Escaping from the blood moon and avoiding the blood moon, this kind of consensus is not only possessed by humans, but after a long period of evolution, even if it is a sea fish with no intelligence, the instinct of refuge has long been engraved in its bones.

As a result, the marine world was in turmoil.

Amazingly, this blood-colored moon does not exist in the human world, it only exists in the sky above a sea.

"What's the matter with those fish?"

A young fisherman in a fishing village somewhere near the sea was amazed by the frenzied schools of fish jumping out of the beach.

But this phenomenon seemed to be able to make a big deal, so he hurriedly carried a fishing net and rowed a small boat over, regardless of the night conditions.

As a result, after breaking through a certain boundary, the original silver moon above its head suddenly turned blood-red, and the sea below suddenly turned into a strange bloody water.

The young fisherman shuddered and hurriedly paddled to escape back.

Before he could paddle a few times, a school of black sardines burst out of the dark red depths of the ocean and completely engulfed him and the boat.

The short scream drew the blank gaze of many in the fishing village not far away, but all that was seen was the sinking of a boat, and the young man on it had disappeared.

The next day, two days, three days......

In a large area of the affected area, such unfortunate incidents have occurred in a continuous manner, with no signs of stopping.

Not the main affected area, but even if it is slow, the large number of fish mutation events is enough to make the human world aware of the existence of certain conditions.

And the leaders of the Sea Clan who are in the deep sea have a more intuitive understanding of this.

"Tocopia, Gonfleur, Blue Coral, Turtle Forest, Lamb Line, ......"

The names of the sea areas or the famous locations of the sea tribe were said one after another by the octopus-headed sea tribe on the platform.

"Two-thirds of our homes have already been severely affected, and it's unclear when the impact will end."

As it spoke, it looked at the hedron that was still floating in the center of the platform,

The blood-colored shield that existed in it was gone.

All that was there was was a massive volcano that still stood there.

Unlike before, the volcano had gradually awakened from its original slumber after the shield was gone, and the temperature of the nearby sea had risen sharply.

The battle that had been fought around the volcano a few days ago had also come to a halt with the sudden mutation, and although it seemed to be the core of the incident, the two sides of the battle were not affected.

The human beings fled in a hurry, the sea tribe left in a panic, and the sea dragon that originally died in the crater also woke up inexplicably in the process, and then turned into a death dragon and fled into the deep sea and disappeared.

No one seems to know what happened, but the consequences need to be borne by all the Sea Clans.

"There have been 1,242 xeno-attack incidents, and if the Blood Moon persists after that, the number will continue to increase for the foreseeable future."

"I think we need to find out what's going on!"

When the blonde mermaid heard this, she quickly said, "A normal blood moon will never exist for more than a day, let alone shine on our heads!" ”

"I don't think it's a good idea."

The leader of the fishmen here shook his head, "Since we can pull the blood moon to descend into the world, then the truth behind this matter must be very serious, and if you rush to investigate, it is very likely that you will suffer heavy losses." ”

"Can you still let it go?" The blonde mermaid retorted.

"Why not?"

"We were already planning to give up living in this ocean, and the arrival of this blood moon is even a good thing in a sense. ”

I didn't say this explicitly, but the sea tribes present understood it.

Although the war has begun, the Sea Clan tribes participating in the war are not completely united, and a large part of the Sea Clan believes that the appearance of the Sea Serpent Demon will only target the Sea Dragon Clan, and will not have much impact on other Sea Clans.

In this way, even if they are coerced to follow and invade the human world, it is impossible to raise their strength and go all out.

Even when they called for their entire clan to join the war, many tribes did not heed the response, or simply hid and ignored the call from above.

If there were ten percent of their strength, they might have used fifty or sixty percent before, but now, ......

"Let's follow the plan we agreed upon."

The giant sea dragon on the platform spoke slowly, "Before that human priest can play his full role, advance the battle to the point where we expected." ”

These words made the hearts of several sea tribes present feel quite heavy, but they also completely strengthened their beliefs.

"This Blood Moon will be a helper in this, but it also seems to mean that there is no way back."

……

At the same time, there are people in another world who are also holding meetings.

"The Morningstar Second Ring Project is ongoing."

The middle-aged man in a suit said this from the podium of the conference room, and gestured to the large screen beside him with a speech pen as he spoke.

In that screen, a large number of images are being divided into many small pictures and densely combined, and the whole looks very chaotic, but it fully shows a certain situation in the current glorious world.

"During the conflict between the Church of Humans and the Sea Clan army, this woman named Lilith appeared in the undersea volcano, and then took advantage of the chaos to activate the extinct volcano in some way that we cannot understand, and attracted the Blood Moon, which was originally a natural disaster."

During this time, there was an accident, that is, a mysterious voice appeared, it was Lilith who told him the activation method and route...... Who is he? This is well worth investigating, and I need to admit that I was wrong in my judgment that this being named Lilith should not be the Lord of Pain. ”

The middle-aged man in the suit said, and the operation screen played the conversation between the two parties, and commented on it.

"The Lord of Pain shouldn't be so stupid, let alone be led by the nose so easily. But that aside, we need to talk about something else. ”

He said, shifting back to the previous ones.

"The Blood Moon suddenly descended on the sky above this sea, and for a short time it seemed to show no signs of fading, which is completely different from the previous accounts of the Radiant World."

"So I judged that this should be a crucial step in the second ring of the Morning Star project, I mean hidden behind this Lilith."

"The purpose is to stimulate the Sea Clan to land in the Pharos Kingdom with all its might, and further compress the space that can be eased in this war."

"In this case, a large number of marine organisms have mutated, and the number of xenospecies has increased significantly." As he spoke, he looked at the boss sitting at the head of the conference table and said something meaningful.

"The number of otherworldly beings has always been the limit of the number of players we can have, and right now, the ocean's otherworldly creatures are in a state of proliferation, and the addition of those spiritually weak and easily possessed targets is obviously a great thing for us."

Speaking of which, he suddenly noticed that the boss's expression seemed to be a little weird.

Unfortunately, due to etiquette, he couldn't keep his gaze for long, and when he looked again, that expression was completely gone.

Secretly suspecting that he might be delusional, he continued without thinking too much.

"At the same time, we discovered another amazing fact."

As he spoke, he pressed the pen in his hand, and the screen transformed into a dark yellow parchment map.

The map is basically the same as the system map that players in the game world can see, but it is relatively more detailed, and there is an arcing red line on top of a certain ocean.

"In this sea, not all marine worlds have been imaged by the Blood Moon, only the Lamb Line, Gonflec, Tokopia, Blue Coral ...... can see the Blood Moon."

He said a lot of place names in a row, and the speech pen in his hand was constantly indicating the corresponding location on the map.

"Connecting them together, we can find—"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed the frame on his face, "It looks like a round corner." Or one of the parts. ”

"So I'm going to make a bold guess that as the Radiant World becomes more and more chaotic, there will be a second, third, and fourth extinct volcano that will be activated, and eventually—"

With a twist of his wrist, he gestured to the map, "The Land of Radiance will be surrounded by a circle." ”

"We'll need to investigate what this means, but I think it's supposed to be the third ring of Project Morningstar, and figuring out what that ring does will make the whole picture clearer. Thank you. “

After saying this, he bowed, indicating that his analysis was over, and the applause rang out enthusiastically.

However, after the middle-aged man in the suit glanced at the boss from the corner of his eye, he found that the other party was the same as the last meeting, and he didn't say anything.

He was not disappointed this time, because he knew a little about the character of this young boss.

Sure enough, shortly after the meeting ended, he received an order from above to attend an important meeting that would begin early tomorrow morning.

The topic of the meeting was twofold, one was the discussion of the official Open Beta, which he was not surprised, because if it weren't for the limited number of supernatural beings, the company would have already started the Open Beta long time ago.

But when he saw the second theme clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Limit the number of players reincarnated as Humans, this ......"
