With the naming of the Jiaolong Blood Castle successfully completed, it essentially signifies the reconstruction of the Ritual Hall, and the original Screaming Castle is now completely under Gu Xi’s control.

However, at this moment, Gu Xi is not paying attention to the multitude of information that pops up afterward; his focus is entirely on Dietrich.

When the Assembly Hall was activated, all the parts formed a crown that was half red and half yellow.

The crown’s style is the oldest Western iron crown style, with twelve protrusions, alternating between six red and six yellow, looking like red thin veils intertwined with yellow Flood Dragons.

Above Dietrich’s brow, two rubies are embedded in the protrusion, and the remaining protrusions emit bright red light, landing at the eyebrow positions of the ten Bone Dragons lying nearby.

Under the influence of this bright red light, the bodies of the ten Bone Dragons transformed from their original withered white into the dark red of Blood Dragons, and then quickly shone brightly, becoming a neon-like bright red.

At the same time, the Flood Dragon corpse originally coiled in the pool seized this opportunity to fly up and automatically fell into the Death Land left by Death Incarnation-Titan.

With the integration of the Flood Dragon corpse, the effects of the Death Land began to spread outward, not only swallowing up every building along the energized channel but even merging the soil and forest on the ground of the original Screaming Castle into it.

As the Flood Dragon corpse blended in, the ground trembled continuously, and the bright red glow quickly disappeared, replaced by the pitch-black barren earth of Netherworld style.

Meanwhile, all the trees in the forest were affected, changing from the original dark green to a bright green, and some strange flowers began growing under the trees.

Among these flowers, some had fine petals, and some seemed to be hiding something.

However, these things did not attract the attention of Gu Xi and the others; Gu Xi’s focus was entirely on Dietrich.

Dietrich slowly raised his hand, and Eve, standing by, quickly reminded Gu Xi: "Step two now."

Gu Xi quickly sent the prepared Netsherworld aura, special Negative Energy, and a large piece of Blood Energy Crystal over.

As these energies were delivered to Dietrich, the ground’s tremors grew stronger.

Gu Xi even felt like the small mountain formed from the original Screaming Castle could collapse at any moment.

It was then that Gu Xi understood the situation of the Duke of Wailing back then.

The tremors he experienced were probably even more intense than what Gu Xi was experiencing now.

The most important thing was that the Duke of Wailing eventually caused the original massive Screaming Castle to disappear.

While Gu Xi was thinking about this, Dietrich had already taken action.

The control of the ritual at this point transitioned to Dietrich.

And just then, Gu Xi heard the sound from below; it was from the vampires residing in Jiaolong Blood Castle, supporting the ritual’s continuation.

At this moment, all ten bright red Bone Dragons stood up and quickly stationed themselves in different positions around the pool.

Under their skulls, ten different light beams began to appear.

This situation was something neither Gu Xi nor Eve had seen during the ritual, and they momentarily did not know what to do.

Fortunately, Dietrich had already managed to control the situation and could even contact all the vampires in the city.

Under Dietrich’s command, the three Vampire Heroes Gu Xi had just summoned and the seven strongest Vampire Soldiers came forward.

These seven strongest Vampire Soldiers were not ranked by level.

Rather, they were ranked by their potential, among which two were at Hero Level and the remaining five were all at Elite Level.

Moreover, they were not purely vampires but comprised various vampire types.

Among the two Hero-level vampires, one was the Deep Red Blood Armor, who had fought against Gu Xi’s subordinates before.

The other was a Bloody Maid belonging to the magic system of vampires.

Appearing nearby, Gu Xi was somewhat confused.

He wasn’t sure what the situation was.

But these Vampire Heroes, Heroes, and Elites clearly understood what they needed to do, and they quickly stepped into the light beams beneath the Bone Dragon skulls.

Above their heads appeared crowns similar to the one above Dietrich’s.

"This...?"

Gu Xi looked at Eve in confusion.

At this moment, Eve’s eyes showed a hint of understanding.

"It seems this is the most crucial step. Back then, the Duke of Wailing failed precisely at this point.

He adjusted the Blood Dragon Crown correctly, but didn’t do well in several areas.

The first was insufficient energy.

The second was choosing the wrong location; conducting such a ritual after Screaming Castle was already built disrupted the city’s layout.

Lastly, he was unwilling to let go of his own authority.

The final step for the Blood Dragon Crown turned out to be distributing the city’s authority to ten heroes or heroes under his command.

If authority were retained forcibly, the final result would be failure. No matter how high the prior success rate was, the end would be the same."

Hearing this, Gu Xi understood the situation; the fact that Dietrich succeeded was entirely luck.

Since Dietrich was temporarily managing Jiaolong Blood Castle, he knew when Gu Xi had other leader-level heroes, they would be sent to replace him.

Therefore, he had no overthinking about Jiaolong Blood Castle’s authority.

Faced with such a requirement, he straightforwardly distributed the power.

If not for the limited number of heroes at hand, he would even consider gathering ten Vampire Heroes to share the power, unlike now, where seven vampires are not heroes.

While Gu Xi was discussing this with Eve, Dietrich completed the final step in crafting the Blood Dragon Crown.

The ten vampires now each had a lead-gray crown atop their heads, with an added blood-red cloak on their bodies.

Soon, Gu Xi heard a voice by his ear.
