On the same day, in differt ces, extraordinary evts unfolded!


    [Special Evt—The Lopez Purge n]


    Your descdant Larry, emerging from the swampy jungles, received the family''smand! Leading thousands of crocodiles, various wolves, tigers, leopards, and countless birds and beasts, she headed to a vige where a disciple of Elizabeth was born!


    Your descdant Justin, d in heavy turtle shell armor, received orders to head to a Lopez mine vein!


    Olivia,manding Dawn assassins, divided into twelve teams, ready to start exterminating various Lopez branches at dawn!


    Amelia ordered the demons of Thunderfire Demon Cave to emerge...


    A bloody purge was siltly underway.


    Like a widespread unknown gue, it was budding, carrying the towering rage of ckwood, manipted by Olivia, and began to spread.


    [Cloudview County]


    As dawn broke, a group of odd figures walked through the morning mist.


    There was a burly middle-aged man at the forefront, his honest and simple face bearing an expression as solid as rock, marked by the years, dressed in simple cloth clothes.


    Most notably, he was leading a rope tighted a something in front of him, and carrying something covered with a  cloth on his back, which looked like a huge coffin.


    Beside him was a slightly petite woman, extremely chanting yet possessing a rustic simplicity, her hair done up in a style only olddies would wear, adorned with antique jewelry, and dressed in a simple, loose peasant skirt.


    Following them were four people.


    A young man in a ck robe, extremely handsome, with locks of hair framing his face, his sharp gaze barely concealed. His hands, hidd in his sleeves, swung as the ck box behind him clinked with the sound of metal shing, as if something inside was fighting for dominance.


    A muscr man, bare-chested, his muscles bulging, walked barefoot, wearing only shorts torn at the knees. His eyebrows, hair, and beard seemed to have be burned off, giving him a fierce look, especially with his silver left arm, clearly not to be trifled with.


    Yet this fierce man was pushing an old woman in a wheelchair, his careful demeanor somewhat amusing.


    Beside them, there was a woman with a ponytail, tall, wearing nking armor. The front of her armor was carved with a ferocious boar''s head with sharp fangs, and at her waist hung arge ghost-headed saber, like a geral.


    In this thick fog, any passerby who countered them fled as if they had se a ghost.


    Just th, they halted their journey as a woman emerged from the mist ahead. She was dressed in a disheveled Taoist robe, her long hair a tangled mess, revealing a dirty little face.


    Th the group moved forward again, silt, just smiling slightly as they watched the Taoist-robed woman quietly join their ranks.


    On the streets of Cloudview County, they seemed to emerge from the mist and disappear back into it.


    Gerationster, the early descdants of ckwood finally began to gather.


    For some reason, at this momt, their minds simultaneously recalled the wildnds outside the Silver Iron Forest of old.


    Like today''s George, carrying Forebearer Cards, they faced crises together. They drove off bandits together, vtured into the Silver Iron Forest together, and with the hope of their family, they charged into Forest Town.


    Now, each of them had aged, expericed the passage of time, and the various phases of life. Time had imposed the trials they had to dure, changing their youthful hearts, but what it could never change was the courage they had wh they stood together—a courage called family.


    Until, taking advantage of the morning mist, they reached the outskirts of a high mountain, before a stone monumt—Lopez.


    "Who goes there?!!"


    As they first stepped in front of the Lopez mountain gate, the ckwood descdants looked up at the sprawling buildings atop the mountain, and the guards at the gate were already on high alert.


    No one responded.


    The guard saw it.


    A card rose slowly from the bosom of the middle-aged man at the front, recing the sun that should have ris this morning!


    The disheveled woman casually threw a gourd, and from it emerged a giant ck serpt, ts of meters long, with its soft horns trembling, shing with the power of thunder and fire!


    It red with blood-red eyes, oped its huge mouth, revealing its fierce and unev fangs, and roared at them!


    That was also thest sce the guard saw in his life.


    "Roar!!!"


    Watching the family''s guardian beast break through from the demon cave and charge up Lopez, Nathan unlocked the Direct Death Coffin, leaped into the sky, and as the coffin oped, zombies screamed and rushed out, activating the great Lopez formation.


    Nathan looked at the card in front of him, his family also staring at him.


    The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.


    "Leave  behind!"


    ...


    [Your family, the first and second gerations, collectively wt to Lopez in Cloudview County.]


    [Half an hourter, they left Lopez, bringing back arge amount of spoils of war.]


    [After this battle, they siltly dispersed.]


    Ethan also saw the terrifying strgth of the first two gerations of ckwood, and ev he was a bit thrilled.


    "Holy smokes."


    Ethan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; it was a total crush. What half an hour? That was just collecting spoils!


    The strongest in Lopez, merely a beginner in Developing Skill, didn''t ev have a chance to fight back. Under the evolved Purple Thunder Sr Python, their n''s protective formation was like paper!


    He saw countless zombies crawling out of Nathan''s Direct Death Coffin, and ghosts appearing from Nathan''s formation.


    Luna, with her demonic fox form, left the people of Lopez standing dumbly waiting for their demise.


    Lucas''s sword, Amelia''s vines that almost covered the Lopez base, Julian controlling the war AI Bionic Robot he had crafted over and over, and...


    Olivia, who could manipte the seasons at will!


    Ev Mary, with her False Core stage power, could summon a wisp of the remnant soul of two gerations of demonic kings to form a magical body!


    "Have they all be this strong?"


    Ethan remembered the battle at the Rodriguez family''s ce; if it were the currt ckwood going there, it would be a crush!


    He had be ready to descd into the game world again to help his descdants fight, but this Spiritual Tribute was saved.


    Not to mtion not asking for his help, ev the Primordial Blood Tree wasn''t summoned in this battle.


    Now, ckwood, in his twty years of secluded cultivation, already had the strgth to crush any ordinary Developing Skill family!


    And that too, without ev going all out!


    [Congrattions, special evt—Lopez Clearance n,pleted.]


    [You have earned ,000 Spiritual Tribute points.]


    [Your descdant Olivia is sding a major gift to Elizabeth at the Azure Cloud Pavilion—the heads of Lopez people.]


    "Good! Elizabeth, this is just the first ount!"


    Witnessing such ughter, Ethan instead showed a satisfied expression.


    He couldn''t forget the cold, ruthless look on Elizabeth''s face wh he saw the old pig being tortured in the Energy Stone at ckwood while gathering intelligce!


    He believed that the people of ckwood would never forget that image over time, their hatred only umting as time passed.


    Now was the time to vt their fury!


    He took a deep breath.
