A series of rewards flooded the screen, invigorating Mo Yan.

However, that wasn't all.

【Dungeon Announcement: Under the leadership of Lord "Mo Yan", the [Justice] faction has successfully killed the final boss and purified the source of evil!】

【Main Quest "Save the Remnants, Drive Out Evil" has been completed!】

【The dungeon "Howling Wasteland" will close in one day. Final settlement is now underway...】

【Tip: Congratulations, you have completed the Hell difficulty dungeon!】

【You have gained Personal Points +1,000,000!】

【Congratulations, you have cleared the Hell difficulty of the dungeon "Howling Wasteland" for the first time. As you cleared it within the seven-day time limit, your rewards are doubled.】

【You cleared it three days early, increasing the reward multiplier to five times: Five-Star Treasure Chest x10, Experience x125,000, Gold Coins x1,000,000, Origin Stones x200,000, Stardust Fragments x500, Basic Resources x1,500,000 each, H City Luck +500.】

【You have cleared a Hell difficulty dungeon and additionally received a Six-Star Treasure Chest x1!】

【Tip: Because you completely destroyed the Millennial scheme of the Undead Monarch "Viktor the Howler" in this place, your actions have attracted his high attention, and you have gained a permanent negative status: "The Howler's Gaze"!】

【The Howler's Gaze: Undead creatures' hatred towards you is permanently increased by 500%. You will be pursued by high-Rank Undead units under the Howler in any world.】

【Tip: The Dungeon Mall has opened and will close in one day.】

Mo Yan looked at the last tip, and instead of being nervous, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

"Being targeted by a higher existence... now that's interesting," he thought to himself. "I'll accept this curse."

He quickly tallied the gains in his mind: not only a million personal points, which could be exchanged for rare items in the Dungeon Mall, but also millions of basic resources and gold coins.

Most importantly were the Origin Stones and Stardust Fragments!

Enough to increase the territory's development speed several times over.

And those ten Five-Star Treasure Chests, plus one Six-Star Treasure Chest, would definitely yield items that would qualitatively transform the territory's strength.

"Hell difficulty, indeed a near-death experience, but this reward... a huge profit!"

He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and turned to help the weak Bai Lingyue up.

His fingertip rested on her wrist, and after confirming that she was only suffering from spiritual power exhaustion and was not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he walked over to Gun Gun, who was sitting on the ground, sobbing aggrievedly, and rubbed the scorched fluff on its head.

"Alright, stop crying," Mo Yan took out a pile of Origin Stones from his Talent Space and handed them to it. "When we go back, I'll let you have an all-you-can-eat buffet at the mining area. You can gnaw to your heart's content."

Gun Gun immediately stopped crying when it saw its favorite snack.

When Mo Yan and his group walked out of the church ruins, which had been leveled, the entire battlefield in the Imperial City Plaza fell silent.

Thousands of eyes, whether from the remnants of the Revenge Legion or the church knights who were stubbornly resisting, all looked at them simultaneously.

Seeing that the once unbreakable Bright Cathedral, which symbolized the church's thousand-year rule, was now just a terrifying, bottomless pit, everyone was speechless.

"He... he did it..."

General Loris's longsword dropped to the ground. This battle-hardened old general was too excited to speak at this moment.

A Judgment Knight captain, in charge of supervising the battle, stared blankly at the ruins, the fanatical faith on his face collapsing into endless fear.

"No... impossible... Archbishop... Holy God Tower..." he muttered to himself, then, as if mad, he dropped the warhammer in his hand and turned to flee.

"It's Lord Mo Yan! Lord Mo Yan won!"

Someone shouted first, and the next moment, cheers like a mountain collapse and a tsunami erupted from the Revenge Legion's lines.

"We won! We won!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen! Long live Lord Mo Yan!"

All the Imperial remnants who were fighting bloody battles at this moment dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and wept with joy.

The hatred, pain, and despair that had been suppressed in their Bloodline for a thousand years were all released at this moment.

In stark contrast was the collapse of the church's remaining forces.

The Grand Cathedral was the core of their faith, and the Archbishop was their spiritual pillar.

Now, the core was destroyed, and the pillar was broken.

"Devil... He is a devil..."

A Judgment Knight dropped the warhammer in his hand, his eyes unfocused, his spirit broken, and he turned to flee, only to be kicked down by a companion behind him.

Idora stood at the front of the formation, constantly watching Mo Yan.

She knew Mo Yan was strong, but she had never imagined he could be this strong.

That was a power capable of destroying the entire Imperial City!

Mo Yan ignored the cheers and enemies around him, walked through the crowd, and approached Idora.

"I did not fail," he said, handing a crystal emitting a soft white light to Idora.

【deins heart (Unique Item)】

【Description: The Origin of the nation, condensed by the first emperor of the Diens Empire with the S-Rank Talent "Elf's Heart", has been polluted by the Undead Monarch for a thousand years, but now the evil has been purified.】

【Effect: The holder can obtain the title "Deins Guardian" and use this as a core to reshape the nation's Law, become a Lord, and purify all Undead and plague pollution.】

"This is..." Idora felt an incredibly intimate and warm aura emanating from the crystal, a power belonging to the Origin of her Bloodline.

"This is something from your Empire. Now, it's back where it belongs," Mo Yan's tone was calm. "Use it to end this war and let this land be reborn."

"A powerful Diens Empire is a valuable ally."

Idora's eyes welled up.

She understood the deeper meaning in Mo Yan's words; this was both a gift and an investment.

Extending her slightly trembling hands, she solemnly took the deins heart. The moment her hand touched the crystal, her sun scepter and the deins heart simultaneously burst forth with dazzling golden light!

The light shot up into the sky, piercing through the thick grey clouds that had shrouded the Howling Wasteland for a thousand years.

The long-lost, warm sunlight once again bathed this cursed land.

Idora raised her scepter and the heart, and her body slowly floated into the air.

Golden radiance, centered around her, spread out like ripples across the entire Imperial City and even the entire nation.

Wherever the radiance passed, miracles were happening.

The foul blood and corpses left on the ground from the battle, when illuminated by the light, transformed into specks of light dust and dissipated.

The stench of decay and death pervading the air was dispelled by the warm sunlight.

The remnants whose bodies had become weak and hunched due to years of plague erosion were amazed to find that their ailments were rapidly receding after being bathed in the sunlight.

The black markings beneath their skin also faded, restoring a healthy glow.

Even the wounded Soldiers in the battle found their wounds rapidly healing.

"It's a miracle! This is a miracle!"

"The sun... it's the sun! I finally see the sun again!"

All the remnants were bathed in this golden rain of light, feeling a warmth and vitality they had never experienced in a thousand years, and smiles of happiness appeared on their faces.

They looked up, gazing at the figure in mid-air, like a sun goddess. She was the sole Queen of the Diens Empire!

"My people!"

Idora's voice, transmitted through the light, echoed in everyone's ears.

"The war is over!"

"From today onwards, the Diens Empire shall be reborn from the ruins!"

"In my name, Idora von Deins, I declare!"

"Dawn has arrived!"

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!!!"

"Long live the Queen!!!"
