Early morning.

Crisp bird calls echoed through the jungle.

In the camp, Kana had just rested well.

Waiting beside Cui Yu.

Around them, Lurik, Maxim, and others were all here.

Both as guards, to prevent unexpected situations, and to wait for Cui Yu's awakening.

But if you look closely at Maxim and Heiswantha, their eyes reveal a dull stare.

Obviously, their attention was focused on the main interface.

Just like the Night Watchers of yore.

The convenience of information exchange brought by the [Channel] almost allowed everyone to become briefly engrossed for a while.

Rumble.

A rumbling sound came.

Everyone immediately snapped their attention back to the front, looking at Cui Yu. She had woken up, standing upright from her previously curled-up status.

Cui Yu shook her body, her large emerald green eyes watching everyone present.

"Bad news?" Kana looked at Cui Yu's current state and suddenly said.

This made Cui Yu pause for a moment, staring at Kana, then reluctantly nodding slightly.

"The rift in space cannot be mended; a strange force is blocking the rift, it's the power of the Void.

The rift is almost irreparable."

The worst-case scenario had arrived.

In the game, the rift indeed wasn't successfully repaired.

But the problem was that the repair time for the rift was years from now.

Even though for both Cui Yu and those Longevity Species, a few years pass in the blink of an eye.

Yet a certain fact must be clarified.

And that is, currently, the situation is not normal.

Now is the era when darkness is drawing closer, the stable space barrier that has lasted more than a thousand years can no longer be maintained.

The fragmentation and decay of the space barrier are almost declining yearly.

A few years later and now are entirely different scenarios.

For instance, now, demons need something extremely precious like the Creation Stone Fragment as a vessel to descend into the world.

But if it comes to a few years later, just a sufficient sacrificial ritual and a life form capable of being a vessel will suffice.

Therefore, when Kana first learned about this matter, he could not confirm whether the space rift could be repaired. Kana assumed it could be repaired.

After all, the situation wasn't that bad yet.

However, things did not go as planned; this Void power is obviously more suppressive.

Even with the space protection not yet fully faded, the space rift remains unrepairable.

Upon careful reflection, it seems there's no significant problem.

After all, this space rift has lasted for a thousand years, and that millennium was the very period when the world reinforced the barrier to its utmost.

"So what do we do now?" Maxim couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Knowing that the Tree of Life is right above, from Cui Yu's words, one can understand.

These Void Creatures, after crossing over, get easily attracted by existences like the Tree of Life, using it as a target for scouting or even launching attacks.

The Tree of Life cannot be relocated, and the Void Rift is just below.

Lurik also frowned.

Because this is indeed a very troublesome matter.

Lurik couldn't help but say, "If even a powerful being like you can't seal and repair the space..."

The implication was self-evident.

Others around turned solemn all at once, thinking that this was the end of the matter with a relatively perfect result.

But now it seems it's just beginning.

"It seems the worst outcome has appeared," Kana said directly.

Upon hearing Kana's words, everyone's eyes fell on him.

"The rift in the Void cannot be closed, which means if a rift appears in some cities, or even in densely populated areas.

Then there are only two choices left."

Both choices could be well understood by everyone and results drawn directly.

"1. Evacuate, just stay far away if a space rift appears, but that obviously is not a long-term solution."

Since the future situation is worrying; it's only the Vanguard Army now, soon rifts could be everywhere in the world.

"2. I'm sure you can think of it, which is to build fortress-style structures around the rift, to kill all the Void Creatures right here."

But this second method is obviously not that easy to achieve either.

Everyone is well aware of this.

One or two is fine; if the number increases, no one can withstand such war consumption.

Kana looked at everyone and directly said, "Now there's no other way, surround the gathering place of the Tree of Life and elves and build a military camp here.

The purpose of the camp is to guard against the ravages of Void Creatures and eliminate all Void Creatures that charge out from the rift.

This is necessary: nearly all of the Night Watchers' settlement forces reside within this Eastern Wilderness region.

If we let the rift go unchecked, the Void Creatures coming out will bring us enormous troubles."

To this, everyone nodded in unison because this indeed must be done.

With the addition of Maxim and these elves.

The Night Watcher's forces almost took over the entire area east of the Eastern Wilderness.

Night Watcher Town, Gray Furnace Castle, Tree of Life.

The three settlements can be said to form a line, centered around Night Watcher Town.

"Alright, no need to brood, at least for now, this is not a bad thing."
