"What?" Xu Mu responded calmly.

After a while, Xu Ri's portrait flashed again.

This time, he directly sent a video screen.

With some doubts and curiosity in his mind, Xu Mu clicked on the light screen.

Soon, a bright red blood moon appeared in the picture before my eyes.

It is almost the same as the red moon incident we experienced before.

But from the style of the buildings shrouded by the light of the blood moon, one can vaguely determine that it is the neighboring country Sangqiu.

This looked like just an ordinary red moon, nothing special about it.

But as the video screen played longer, Xu Mu's pupils narrowed slightly.

The second red moon appeared!

Based on the first red moon, the moon itself experienced a period of strange and twisted shaking.

It is like cell division, dividing into two.

Two moons in the sky!

The sky, which was originally dyed blood, became exceptionally deep and red to black after the second red moon appeared.

"Oh?" Xu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.

At this time, Xu Ri sent several light frequencies in succession.

“This one is from Tuosha country.”

"This is Luo Xiang Kingdom."

"And the Dongli Peninsula country."

Without exception, the image of two moons in the same frame appeared in every light frequency sent by Xu Ri.

Without waiting for Xu Mu to ask, Xu Ri told him everything he knew.

"About half a month ago, I heard about a meeting held by Dragon Head and other quasi-god players in the Eastern Federation..."

…

On the Blue Water Planet, there are hundreds of countries, large and small. Before the advent of the Red Moon copy, all of them were relatively peaceful. Each country focused on developing its national economy around its territory.

But after the advent of Red Moon, the existing order was challenged.

Due to the uneven strength of players in different regions, the binding force of the original old laws has been greatly reduced.

Let’s take the most intuitive example.

In the past, countries had clear border lines. If they bypassed these border lines without approval, it would be considered an act of crossing the border.

The lighter punishment is detention + deportation.

Serious cases will be tried in military courts.

And the establishment of this law can obviously only restrain ordinary people.

Once the strength exceeds that of players above level B, the agility and speed are enough to surpass bullets.

Here comes the problem.

I can easily break through your borders at an extremely high speed and then quickly turn back.

During this period, I can carry some imported smuggled goods, and also carry out some sudden targeted attacks.

Afterwards, by the time your soldiers stationed near the border arrived, I had already quickly slipped back to my own country.

If it is a cross-border arrest, it will be a troublesome matter and will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

Initially, all countries strictly abided by the law, regarded it as a serious act of cross-border invasion of territory, and spent a lot of money to capture and catch all the clues.

However, as such incidents increased, government agencies began to feel helpless.

For example, if you come to our country and catch a local fish from a nearby glacier and take it back to eat, would I catch you?

Don’t arrest me. Our territory cannot be violated. You are slapping our country in the face!

Catch you, you just caught a fish, where can I get so much manpower and energy to catch you.

Over time, governments around the world have become exhausted.

I'll just turn a blind eye. As long as you don't make too much noise, I won't bother with you if you're just making a little noise. Just be happy.

So, the first year after the red moon came.

In fact, the borders between countries have a somewhat weak sense of existence, and are jokingly called Schrödinger's border line by many local residents.

You observe it, it exists.

If you don't observe it, it doesn't exist.

However, the player's strength will continue to increase as the red moon arrives.

Once a region has B+ or even A-level players.

After the strength has been further improved.

Some serious cases also began to increase gradually.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, it will have increasingly negative impacts.

At this point, governments were forced to come together for a discussion meeting.

The initial plan was to increase the military strength of each country guarding its borders.

But there is a problem with this solution.

That is, understaffed.

Those who dare to invade recklessly must be powerful individuals or teams of players.

But no country in the world can ensure that all the soldiers guarding its borders are highly capable players.

Especially for some big countries, whose borders stretch for thousands of miles, it is more difficult to deal with them.

Therefore, the leaders proposed Plan 2.

The matter of redrawing national borders.

Based on the local dimensional world's entrance portal, we began to fine-tune the existing territory.

The dimensional entrance in your area A covers the nearest area, but part of the land belongs to our area B, so it will be divided according to the proportion of land.

Area A occupies a larger proportion of the territory covered by the dimensional entrance, so from now on, the entire area will belong to Area A.

Of course, Area A may also be compensated to Area B in exchange for other adjacent territories or other equivalent compensation.

The advantage of doing this is that it can strengthen control over border areas.

Area A used to have a border line dividing the middle, but now it's gone. It all belongs to your country A. Then your country A must focus on maintaining public security in this area. Once there is an invasion, my country B can come and argue with you.

Similarly, the land within a country will be re-sorted and reorganized according to the area covered by the dimensional entrance.

As a result, the phenomenon occurred that every time the red moon descended, it could always accurately cover a city.

That is, Dolphin City is an area in itself, and the neighboring Seaside City will be another copy.

This does not mean that Hongyue takes precise care of all cities in all countries.

Instead, in order to have a better order, people took the initiative to divide the land into the shape of the red moon.

On this basis, the original seven continents of the Blue Water Planet were also divided into four major federations according to the plates covered by the red moon.

Huaxiu Country, where Xu Mu is currently located, is the strongest core country in the Eastern Federation Circle, with the largest land area and the most fertile natural resources.

A total of 3,881 dimensional entrance points are occupied.

When the red moon descends once a month, the 3,881 dimensional entrances will be lit up one after another according to the moon's orbit, and the red moon copies will be opened one after another.

The same is true in other countries.

Everyone developed peacefully for five years.

The change has finally arrived.

"...At that meeting, the general idea of the quasi-god players from various countries in the Eastern Federation was that the scope of Red Moon needed to be expanded. They proposed a plan, hoping to redivide the territory." Xu Ri said slowly.

Xu Mu immediately understood the meaning.

As players’ strength grows, the Red Moon copy in a single area can no longer meet their needs.

As we all know, there is a rule in the dungeon era that is not stated explicitly but is known to everyone: the more players a dungeon can accommodate, the richer the rewards of this dungeon.

The population of a third-level main city is at most tens of millions.

For the increasing number of players who have reached the S-level realm, the rewards of a dungeon with a population of tens of millions or more can no longer meet their needs.

Especially for a quasi-god player like Xu Mu, even if it is an SS-level copy, if it is a small copy for several people, he will not want to play it because the benefits are very low.

Therefore, many top players began to consider merging copies.

Merge several large regions or even hundreds of small cities into one super large domain!

Let the entire domain share the same red moon, forcibly increase the number of people entering the dungeon, and increase the rewards in disguise!

"So, the Dragon Chief rejected this proposal, right?" Xu Mu said.

"Yes, because the new territorial division plan is extremely disadvantageous to Huaxiu. Unlike the previous plan of giving up and filling in, this time Huaxiu's border territory will basically be convex if it is divided according to super-large regions. Once agreed, a lot of land will be ceded..."

When it comes to ceding land, Xu Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although the history of Tianlan Star is very different from that of the Earth in his previous life, Huaxiu Country does not have any past that is too painful to look back on.

However, these three words made Xu Mu extremely unhappy.

Although I am not one of the twelve constellations, I do not represent state agencies in matters big or small.

But not an inch of Huaxiu’s land can be lost!

"However, the Dragon Head's refusal did not have much effect. Several developed trading countries in the Eastern Federation, led by Sangqiu, Tuosha, Luoxiang, and Dongli Peninsula, have secretly begun to unite and lead the surrounding small countries to transform part of their territory into a super domain, and have also launched a plan to create an artificial blood moon."

"The second blood moon in the light frequency you saw, Boss, was a mirror image created by Sang Qiu, a quasi-god player who possessed the godly potential of 'copying'."

"If you observe it from outer space on the Blue Water Planet, you will find that it is just a projection, but on the surface it has the same effect as when the blood moon descends."

"Now, the test has begun in countries such as Tuosha and Raxiang."

"If the technology matures in the future, we may even see a March moon in the sky, a September moon hanging high in the sky, or even a red moon falling every day..."

"The potential of God...the effect is too terrifying." Thinking of this, Xu Ri on the other end of the communication screen couldn't help but smack his lips.

Xu Mu's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

According to Xu Ri.

It seems that not everyone can awaken their divine potential when they become a god?

One’s current divine potential is divinity.

It can multiply all your comprehensive combat power exponentially!

The effect is indeed obvious.

After activating the divine state, even using the weakest power of broken silk, the [Chapter of Chaos] condensed by the fusion of eight elements is enough to destroy a hundred-story building.

With full firepower, destroying the entire Southern Region would be no problem.

And now, I have reached the 15th level of the Divine Stage, and my divinity has been enhanced by 2.5 times.

That is to say.

When in peak condition, he is fully capable of destroying a large area by himself!

The humanoid self-propelled helium flashed.

"Perhaps, only when the evaluation of the copy far exceeds the holy level at the moment of ascension to godhood, will the additional potential of god be unlocked?" Xu Mu guessed in his heart.

At this time, I heard Xu Ri's words again.

"But no matter what, other countries in the Eastern Federation have already begun to harm the interests of Huaxiu. If we don't follow up with this technology, the strength of the players in their countries will begin to grow by leaps and bounds..."

"I'm worried that once they have overwhelming strength among the players, they will start to interfere by force, and even control the entrances to various dimensions in our country... The impact caused by that time will be much more serious than the self-sealing phenomenon in the Eastern Region..."

Xu Ri also got the news at an internal meeting of the Twelve Constellations that ended not long ago.

As soon as the meeting ended, he secretly found a safe environment where he would not be disturbed and decisively contacted Xu Mu.

Because Xu Ri was not satisfied with Kang Jin Long Shou's decision.

"From what I heard from Kang Jin, we should keep our troops in place. Because once we start a conflict with the countries in the Eastern Federation and they unite... our strength will be weak." Xu Ri said.

Xu Mu pondered for a moment.

To put it simply, the current situation is that the quasi-gods of other countries in the Eastern Federation have taken the initiative to merge into many super domains in order to pursue higher copy rewards.

But if Hua Xiu agrees to this, he will give up a lot of territory.

So after the Twelve Constellations discussed and made a decision, they refused to cooperate.

But this time a group of small countries simply ignored Hua Xiu and began to secretly unite.

After thinking about it, Xu Mu asked Xu Ri about the current number of quasi-gods in other countries.

Among them, Sangqiu Kingdom has the largest number of quasi-gods, with a total of 7.

The second is Takshasa Kingdom, with as many as 6.

There are 4 people in Luoxiang Kingdom.

Together with some scattered small countries around, each has one or two people, a total of 27 people.

Countries without quasi-god players don’t even have a say and can only be forced to be included in the super domain.

The only downside is that Hua Xiu is on his own and has 12 quasi-gods of his own, which is quite intimidating.

Other countries in the Eastern Federation circle dare not act rashly.

Otherwise, Huaxiu would have been divided into pieces long ago.

This shows how profound the influence of quasi-god-level players is on a country.

If a war between countries breaks out in the copy era.

If you want to decide the outcome, ordinary players, even if they are SS level, can only be cannon fodder.

Basically, the victory or failure will be decided by the quasi-gods who have entered the long stage of godhood.

Seeing Xu Mu was silent for a long time, Xu Ri asked again.

"Boss, although we plan to keep our troops in the East Region on hold, would you like to test the power of the Twin Moons in the South, North and West regions? See what kind of dungeons you can open?"

"As for how to open the Twin Moons in the Sky, I can help you find out. I have connections with Sang Qiu! All you need is a word!"

Xu Ri is obviously a radical.

Whether he was worried that Huaxiu would fall behind other countries in the future, or that its existing interests would be eroded by outsiders, he was very anxious.

After a moment, Xu Mu replied.

"No."

“Uh…” Xu Ri’s passion was instantly extinguished.

I wanted to continue saying something, but now everything was stuck in my throat.

"Okay... okay." He sighed helplessly.

And at this moment.

Another sentence popped up on the other end of the communication screen.

"There is no need to establish a base when the two moons are in the sky."

"We can just take the answer and use it."

"Let's merge the super-large domains into Hua Xiu's subordinate territory."

Xu Ri's eyes suddenly widened, and the look that originally contained a hint of disappointment now emanated endless brilliance!

Just now, Xu Ri was secretly thinking in his heart whether Boss A’s vision was too petty.
