Lu Ran from Longxia was joyfully grinding monsters to level up.

Instead of returning to the Ikenai Grand Shrine after leaving the dungeon hall, Nanami from Japan went to Shintoism.

As a Divine Son of Shintoism, this not only signifies that Nanami is Japan's top Yin Yang Master, but also indicates that she possesses some special privileges.

In the meeting room.

The high-ranking officials of Shintoism were all present.

"Divine Son, are you sure about the reverse contract? Your fate will be completely controlled by the Shikigami. Although this won't affect the current contracts between your Shikigami, as a Divine Son and Japan's top Yin Yang Master, it's hard to predict the outcome if you're controlled by a Shikigami." One high-ranking official said worriedly.

"Yes, the reverse contract is too risky."

"Although it can greatly enhance your combat power, what if the Shikigami is unwilling to cooperate?"

"After a reverse contract, you don't have the ability to forcibly control the Shikigami."

"That Undead Mage's combat power exceeded our expectations, it's not worth taking such a risk for them."

...

For a moment, everyone had something to say.

Nanami remained silent throughout.

After a while.

She took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "I know I can't surpass that Undead Mage, even with a reverse contract, it might only make us evenly matched. I'm not doing the reverse contract for myself."

Hmm?

Everyone was taken aback.

Nanami continued, "That Undead Mage's abilities are definitely different from ordinary Undead Mages. Such a horrifying existence has a huge impact during a national war!"

The unique traits of Japan's Yin Yang Master profession are very useful in a national war.

But now there's a turn of events.

"That Undead Mage is the turn of events. If Longxia suppresses us, given the animosity between Longxia and Japan before global datafication, what do you think our fate would be?"

As soon as the words were spoken.

The faces of several high-ranking officials instantly darkened.

Unlike before global datafication, after global datafication, strength is the best measure!

If Longxia gains the upper hand due to their animosity with Japan, one can imagine Japan's fate!

Seeing the expressions of the high-ranking officials, Nanami knew they understood her point.

So she continued, "With national wars on the horizon, to avoid unexpected incidents, let's first block the cross-country teleportation. Even if Longxia wants to press their army on us, the Forbidden Sea remains their biggest headache."

Therefore.

Nanami must achieve the reverse contract!

However, some high-ranking officials still found it inappropriate.

They pondered and said, "I still want you to reconsider, after a reverse contract, if your Shikigami is controlled, you will be indirectly controlled as well!"

Upon hearing this,

Nanami laughed heartily and said, "No one in this world can control Yamata no Orochi!"

She intended to make a reverse contract with Yamata no Orochi!

If successful.

And by serving Yamata no Orochi, allowing it to be willing to fight, Sakura would crush globally during the national war!

Of course, this was just their own thought.

After all, before understanding the abilities of the Undead Mage, the existence of Yamata no Orochi greatly surpassed that of human Professionals of the same level!

What they didn't know was.

Yamata no Orochi belongs to the Dark Series, which perfectly suits Lu Ran's taste!

With just a glance, Lu Ran could control Yamata no Orochi, and naturally Nanami as well.

This time, Nanami's reverse contract was not only an agreement with Lu Ran but also a reverse enhancement!

It was simply offering up trouble!

"Alright, enough said, prepare the ritual. I must achieve the reverse contract today; I am the Divine Son, I have the authority and qualification for this." Nanami asserted firmly.

Meanwhile, in the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses.

The number of Walking Dead was also dramatically decreasing!

With just a glance, Lu Ran controlled large swathes of Walking Dead, causing them to slaughter each other!

At the same time,

the Skeleton Storm kept stacking, rampaging, covering the entire Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses!

Lu Ran was even too lazy to use Corpse Explosion.

The area was too vast, summoning two Skeleton Soldiers at a time was too tedious, and not very effective.

After all, it was a primary skill of the Undead Mage, and at later stages, few Undead Mages still summoned Skeleton Soldiers to fight.

And as the Walking Dead continued to die, Lu Ran's experience kept climbing!

Just twenty minutes later, Lu Ran leveled up once!

Reached level 31!

An hour later, Lu Ran reached level 32!

Finally, by the time all the Walking Dead in the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses were cleared.

Lu Ran's level was fixed at 33 with 26% progress!

One sweep of the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses gave Lu Ran the most experience he had gotten since his Awakening Profession!

Leveling up thrice!

Even Ye Hongyi and others didn't expect the monster grinding effect in the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses would be so explosive!

"What's next? Returning to Fog Barrier Valley?" Wei Yingying asked.

"No, it's time to go back, Lu Ran is already over level 30 and needs to start grinding team dungeons." Liu Xinxin said.

Although team dungeons are lower level, they have experience bonuses, and Lu Ran can grind freely by covering the entire map, overall maybe not as effective as the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses but definitely faster than Fog Barrier Valley!

On the way back.

Lu Ran was still thinking about the Elf Race's Sacred Artifact.

At the same time, he was very curious about the races Liu Xinxin had mentioned.

"Xinxin, after your awakening, are you counted as human or Elf Race?" Lu Ran asked.

Liu Xinxin's current appearance was actually closer to the Elf Race.

But this wasn't how Liu Xinxin was born; it was a change after her professional awakening.

"Both, I suppose. Although I have Elven blood, because it's a directed evolution after a human Professional transitioned, I'm not very recognized by the Elf Race. However, when there is a problem in the Elf Race that requires summoning clan members for help, I also need to respond, and it's settled as a racial task reward." Liu Xinxin explained.

This further shows that the Elf Race isn't very welcoming to the Human Race.

Liu Xinxin even possesses Elven blood but won't be thoroughly accepted by the Elf Race; there's still prejudice.

"There's a racial task? How do you summon?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

He had never heard of these things!

"It's a bloodline summon, hard to describe. I've only been summoned thrice, and if summoned, just…" Liu Xinxin explained, but couldn't think of how to describe it.

But at the next moment.

Buzz~

Underneath Liu Xinxin, a teleportation array about three meters wide suddenly appeared!

This teleportation array pushed away some of the people around.

"Just like this…" Liu Xinxin stared surprisingly at the teleportation array beneath her feet, exclaiming, "The Elf Race is summoning clan members!"

This was too coincidental!

Just as they were talking about it, the Elf Race summoned?

"You all head back to the village first, I'll go see what's going on and come back…" She hadn't finished her words.

Whoosh~

The teleportation array flashed a white light, and Liu Xinxin disappeared from where she stood, directly pulled back to the Elf Race territory from afar.

Lu Ran and the others were dumbfounded.

And when Liu Xinxin returned to the Elf Race, she suddenly thought: "A summon of the entire race generally means the Elf Race has encountered a major problem. If Lu Ran can help solve the issue, wouldn't there be a chance to earn the Elf Queen's recognition? An opportunity to obtain the Elf Wings!"

After all.

Ordinary Professionals' individual combat power cannot prominently stand out during mass crises.

But Lu Ran can!
