However, at this time, it was already approaching noon, 12 o'clock.
The space teleportation stations everywhere had already lit up with golden light, enveloping everyone.
Simultaneously, as the clock's hand pointed to the final second, a notification appeared in Xiao Mo's mind.
"Attention all players, the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] is about to begin. All players who wish to participate in the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] please prepare yourselves."
"Countdown begins: Five, four, three, two, one."
With a ding, a bright light shone upon every castle lord in the Primordial Continent.
Their figures gradually became transparent.
"The Evil Extermination Event has begun."
"Concurrently, the [Game Official] has opened the Evil Extermination Hegemony Rankings."
"The player ranked first will receive a special reward. Those within the top 100 will also receive different rewards, with the reward tier changing based on rank."
"We hope all players will strive actively."
"Wishing all castle lords a fruitful harvest in this [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] and the opportunity to become immortal deities."
At the same time, the start of the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] was announced in the world chat channel.
A [Evil Extermination Hegemony Ranking] interface also appeared in the world chat channel.
All were displayed in very large, bold golden font, immediately catching the eye.
Concurrently, the forces of all the castle lords entered the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] through the space teleportation stations.
The moment they stepped into the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event], everyone saw a hazy gray sky, with a massive blood-red moon floating in the air.
It looked like a malevolent eye, staring intently at them.
While it was noon, 12 o'clock on the Primordial Continent, upon entering the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event], they found it was already midnight, 12 o'clock.
It was clear that the time flow in the two dimensions was different.
Everywhere they looked, there were piles of white bones reaching mountains high, adding a ghastly, eerie atmosphere.
From their ears came the calls of unknown birds, squawking in strange voices.
The air was filled with the foul stench of blood, emanating from the corpses.
With every step, their feet sank into something sticky, like stepping into rotten flesh.
No, it wasn't just like it; the sludge under their feet was indeed rotting human flesh.
This filled them with disgust.
Although these castle lords had experienced some harsh conditions at the beginning,
this kind of bloody and foul scene was something they had never witnessed before.
Some castle lords with weaker psychological resilience couldn't help but vomit.
Their faces turned pale, and they leaned tightly against their troops.
At this moment, the [World Channel] message interface was constantly refreshing. Almost all castle lords gathered in this chat interface, sharing the news they had received.
"Damn, this is so disgusting. Did you guys see that red moon in the sky?"
"Saw it, saw it. Stop asking questions every time, we're not blind."
"That moon is so disgusting. It feels like something is flowing on it."
"Hey, now that you mention it, I think I see it too. It looks like blood."
"Damn, I just entered the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] and fell into a pile of rotten flesh. I haven't even climbed out yet, can't see any damn moon."
"The brother upstairs has a good mindset. In this situation, you still have the leisure to chat with us."
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm a girl."
"Oh, let's private message."
"You two get married, what are you chatting about here!"
"It's full of white bones and rotten flesh here, as if there's no trace of life."
"Didn't you notice the air seems red? Like the moon was dyed red with blood, and then dyed the air red."
"Heavens, if that's the case, how many people would have to be killed to reach this point?"
"There are corpses and bones everywhere. As soon as I landed, I stepped into a dead person's mouth."
"I think all living beings in this [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] must have died."
"Otherwise, how could such a scene be created?"
"All dead? It seems the danger level of this [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] is extremely high."
"So we must uphold our prior agreement and absolutely not break it privately."
"If we start infighting, we might all be wiped out, and everyone will die here."
"I don't think so. Great Lord Xiao Mo will definitely not die here."
"Isn't that stating the obvious? Is Great Lord Xiao Mo even human? He's a god! How can we ants compare to him?"
Xiao Mo, who was about to check the [Evil Extermination Hegemony Ranking] interface, accidentally clicked into the [World Chat Channel].
The moment he opened it, he saw the sentence "Is Great Lord Xiao Mo even human?" and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth in speechlessness.
Was this praising him or mocking him?
Xiao Mo, too lazy to bother with these people, exited the [World Chat Channel] and opened the [Evil Extermination Hegemony Ranking].
He found that there was no one on it yet. The interface was empty.
It seemed they hadn't killed any evil creatures yet, so the [Evil Extermination Hegemony Ranking] hadn't refreshed, hence this situation.
He then closed the official interface and began to observe his surroundings.
Xiao Mo's luck was neither good nor bad. He didn't fall into a pit of corpses like that girl.
Instead, he arrived in a desolate open space that didn't seem particularly strange.
Xian Qing'er walked over and reported:
"Your Majesty, it's very strange. So many castle lords have entered the [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event], yet no one has discovered any evil creatures, nor have they been attacked."
"This is truly peculiar. Where have all those demonic creatures gone?"
Xiao Mo looked up at the surging blood-red moon. The surroundings were hazy gray, yet tinged with a strange red hue,
making one feel uneasy.
He stared intently at the moon for a while, then suddenly said:
"We've all been mistaken. It's not midnight now. The [Otherworldly Evil Extermination Event] should have the same time flow as the Primordial Continent. It's still noon, 12 o'clock."
Xian Qing'er looked at the moon in the sky and asked incredulously:
"How is that possible? Look, the moon is already out, how can it be daytime?"
Xiao Mo asked, "Why do you assume that is the moon in the sky, and not the sun?"
"Is it just because it's red, and the surrounding environment is rather dim?"
