After meeting Ye Ge, Chen Xuanfeng turned and returned to the central hall of the castle. He casually activated a hidden mechanism, revealing a secret passage. However, this passage did not lead downward but extended upward. Walking through the tunnel, he directly arrived at the rooftop of the fortress. There, a transparent crystal altar was set up, with two figures—or rather, a young girl and a skeleton—directing a group of dark elves to arrange various items.

"Heh heh heh, My Lord, it seems your little dark elf slave is doing well," the unique voice of the King of the Undead echoed from the golden skull.

"Brother, the altar is almost ready. We just need to wait until noon tomorrow to activate the magic circle using sunlight and block the dark divine power," a crisp voice came from the golden-haired girl, Jin Luosha. Now, with her powers, she could travel back from the northwest frontlines after just half a day of meditation. Thus, moving undetected between the two fronts was effortless for her.

The werewolf looked at the nearly completed magic circle and finally smiled, saying, "Very good. I am also looking forward to tomorrow's results."

On the day after the dark elf girl Ye Ge returned to the southeastern frontlines, Chen Xuanfeng initiated his plan to deal with the Spider Queen Lolth in the fortress where he was stationed.

Attempting to deal with a deity was undoubtedly the most insane idea for any being in this plane. Although there had been such attempts in history, neither the ancient Goblin Empire nor the later Twelve Sages met a good end. Fortunately, Chen Xuanfeng's plan this time was only to cause a minor, isolated deity to suffer a small setback. There was still a chance of success.

It was said that the Spider Queen Lolth was originally a minor deity in the natural pantheon worshipped by the elves. She took advantage of the elves' division to betray the natural pantheon and join the dark pantheon of deities. By controlling the dark elves, she gradually rose to become a mid-level deity. However, her relationship with the dark pantheon of deities was also quite strained, and she was closer to the demon lords of the underworld. She could be considered an entirely isolated existence in the upper divine planes. Targeting her, as long as it wasn't excessive, wouldn't attract the attention of the entire pantheon.

Due to Lolth's unique nature, her divine power was largely confined to the underground world. Once she left the dark underground, her power would be halved. During the day, her priests could hardly receive any response from this dark goddess. If she encountered the combination of light-based divine power and the intense sunlight of daytime, even if Lolth wanted to actively project her will into the material plane, it would become extremely slow and difficult. After all, different planes varied in their laws of power, spatial forms, and even the flow of time. Relying on this, Chen Xuanfeng dared to entertain such a rebellious idea.

For ordinary people, changes in weather and celestial phenomena were purely natural laws, or some might attribute them to the power of deities. But for those who wielded immense power, influencing the weather in a small area for a brief period was not particularly difficult. Originally, this day's noon was cloudy, and the spring sunlight was not intense. However, this was no issue for Chen Xuanfeng. He ordered the five hundred dark elves stationed in the fortress to disperse the clouds easily. As for the light, one must not forget that Chen Xuanfeng had Jin Luosha, a light-based sword saint, by his side. The power she inherited from the Holy Crest determined that her "aura" was to amplify light. Thus, when she no longer suppressed the influence of her power on the surrounding space, the noon sunlight instantly intensified two to threefold, becoming nearly blinding.

At the same time, the magic circle jointly constructed by the King of the Undead and Jin Luosha, two top-tier mages, was fully activated.

"Lost, Chaos, False Death, Negative Extremity, Great Calamity—Shining Red Star King, Serpent of the Styx's Source, Lord of the Nine-Pointed Star and Golden Eye, I hereby establish a covenant altar, calling upon your forbidden name, fulfilling the promise of the primordial..." The King of the Undead's low, slightly metallic voice murmured incessantly, continuously summoning the dark and death deities with whom he had established covenants, channeling their borrowed power into the magic circle to suppress Lolth's perception.

"Light comes from water, light comes from clouds, light comes from stars, light comes from leaves, light comes from moon shadows, light comes from the sun, light comes from deities, light comes from chaos, light comes from history, light comes from infinity. From all sources, from all pasts, from all perceivable and imperceptible origins, gather, light—with my heart as a mirror, refract toward the direction I desire..." Jin Luosha simultaneously unleashed a powerful light magic, continuously constructing a vast, pure light domain, completely separating the inner and outer darkness.

While the two top mages were performing their ultimate techniques, the werewolf and Ye Ge were at the center of the magic circle.

Ye Ge knelt at the center of the magic circle, almost completely unclothed. The dark elf's physique was unlike any other elf race—slender yet not frail, with a full and firm chest, rounded and ample hips, and long, powerful limbs. Her bare body shimmered with a faint metallic sheen under the sunlight, not appearing eerie despite her bluish-gray skin. Combined with her calm, water-like expression, she exuded a bizarre yet enchanting beauty.

On the dark elf girl's body, golden and blue magical runes were drawn. The golden runes were as large as palms, with eighteen such patterns covering her entire body, each composed of extremely intricate lines. Under the influence of the light magic circle activated by Jin Luosha, they radiated a holy brilliance. The dark blue runes, on the other hand, were as small as fingernails, countless in number, interconnected like twisted serpents coiling around the girl's body. They twitched in rhythm with the King of the Undead's incantations, like tangible ropes digging into her skin, leaving indentations.

The werewolf sat cross-legged in front of Ye Ge, his silver hair cascading down, glowing with a mercury-like spiritual light, merging with the altar beneath him. This greatly enhanced his spiritual energy, both in quality and quantity.

The Divine Punishment Sword and the Tiger Soul Saber, two divine weapons of immense power, were sheathed on either side of the werewolf, ready to be drawn at any moment. They served as Chen Xuanfeng's ultimate safeguards against any crisis.
