Heaven, Terrain, and Allies: Yu Yuan Held Every Advantage

[Moss Hut Shelter: Sis, Yu Yuan's ranked so high now, and he's gotten so much stronger. He's definitely not going to let me off. Are you sure the person you found is reliable?]

[Moonshadow Breath Underground Castle: Don't worry. I've already found someone—the player ranked ninety-eighth on your Rankings. As soon as your Truce Period ends, he'll launch an Invasion War against you. Then he'll help you clear out the threats nearby so you can recover your strength as quickly as possible.]

"Ranked ninety-eighth?" Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn't expected his sister to find a player in the top hundred, but that was all the better.

And after seeing that Yu Yuan had taken control of a Regional Hegemon-level Faction, Xiao Wu began to entertain ideas about the one deep within his Underground Mine.

If Yu Yuan can do it, why can't I? Hmm... I'll give it a try first. Then something occurred to him, and he asked Xiao Xi:

[Moss Hut Shelter: Sis, are you sure the person you found isn't plotting something?]

[Moonshadow Breath Underground Castle: Don't worry! I offered him a First Embrace slot if he helps get you into the top two hundred. He won't turn that down.]

Xiao Wu relaxed. He knew just how valuable a Blood Clan First Embrace was on the Civilization Ladder. Money alone couldn't buy one.

The First Embrace slot Xiao Xi offered certainly wouldn't be her own. She was now a high-ranking member of the Blood Clan; there was no way she would grant someone her First Embrace lightly.

But even a First Embrace from another member of the Blood Clan was worth the price.

Receiving a First Embrace and joining the Blood Clan meant gaining the ability to create Blood Slaves and build a Faction.
