Incoming Enemy
A super lightning grid that covered nearly half the border road across the earth just like that, madly reaping the lives of the skeletal giant beasts. Countless giant shadows were blasted onto the ground, only to be trampled into pieces by the endless stream of skeletal giant beasts behind them in the very next second.
"So they've co after all, huh..."
At the top of the Tower to Heaven, an elegant figure with long hair stood imposingly. Her white training clothes fluttered lightly in the wind, and Su Zhiwei's gaze was more solemn than ever before.
In the direction she was gazing, a massive number of Calamities from the Sighing Wilderness fell beneath the lightning grid, directly crushed into a ground full of bone dregs... This wasn't to say that the lightning grid trap had a particularly strong lethality. At most, it only injured and tripped the Calamities charging at the front. What truly killed them was being trampled by the endless stream of maddened giant beasts charging from behind.
Su Zhiwei wasn't happy about the miraculous effect of the lightning grid trap. Compared to the total number of Calamities that appeared this ti, those that died under the lightning grid were rely the tip of the iceberg. What truly made her apprehensive were those maddened skeletal giant beasts behind them.
Had they already gone so mad that they didn't even care about the lives of their own kin?
"How much longer can the Tower to Heaven's arrangents stall them?" Su Zhiwei asked.
"In three months' ti, we built twelve defensive lines, one hundred and sixty-three types of trigger-type traps, and three hundred and forty war checkpoints... According to the original plan, holding out for three days and three nights wouldn't be a problem..." An artisan from the Tower to Heaven wiped the sweat from his forehead, hesitating to speak.
"And now?"
"If it's on this scale, with this thod of charging... one day at most."
"Does that include the Cessation Calamity?"
"It does." The artisan nodded heavily. "When we set things up, we specifically considered the Cessation Calamity's abilities, burying the vast majority of the traps underground. Its dragon breath, which can blow away civilization, cannot affect our 'inventions'."
Su Zhiwei's expression finally eased a little. "What is the situation in the other domains?"
"Just now, the Hanging Jade Domain and the Hidden Clouds Domain have both successively sent out signals of being attacked. The Hanging Jade Domain suffered a surprise attack by the Calamities of the Vain Mountains, and the black wall of the Hidden Clouds Domain has completely collapsed under the months-long erosion by the plants from the Bitter Flesh Forest... The situation in both places is not very optimistic. It's estimated that they might not even be able to hold out for half a day."
"What about the South Sea Domain?"
"The South Sea Domain is relatively much better. During the previous attack, the Lord of the South Sea already moved the entire domain onto land. Now that the Calamities of the Forbidden Sea have left the seawater, their combat power is greatly reduced.
"Moreover, during this period, the Lord of the South Sea and the Ancestor of the Pu Family joined hands to reinforce the tortoise shell outside the domain. Apart from a few specific gateways, the rest of the places are easy to defend and hard to attack. Therefore, the current South Sea Domain should be the safest among all the domains."
After finishing his sentence, the artisan added another point:
"Right now, the Lord of the South Sea has responded to the Hidden Clouds Domain's request for help and secretly headed toward the Hidden Clouds Domain."
Su Zhiwei wasn't surprised by this news and gave a faint "mhm."
Among the major domains today, the Spirit Void Domain was free from the chaos of war, the Tianshu Domain had Su Zhiwei holding down the fort, and although the situation in the Hanging Jade Domain was critical, they could still summon the Lord of Hanging Jade from another tiline to fight at the crucial mont. The only one left without any demigod combat power was the Hidden Clouds Domain.
Once the final decisive battle broke out and the Calamity of Corruption took the stage, the Hidden Clouds Domain would certainly die. Since they clearly knew the decisive battle was about to begin, and the South Sea Domain was the only domain with two demigods holding down the fort, their support for the Hidden Clouds Domain was inevitable. They couldn't just watch helplessly as millions of people went to their deaths.
And since the Ancestor of the Pu Family was advanced in years and couldn't easily leave the South Sea Domain, the best candidate could only be the Lord of the South Sea.
"The world is in chaos, and humanity is on the brink of extinction..." Su Zhiwei slowly looked up at the gloomy sky, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes.
"This ti... can we fight for a sliver of a chance at survival?"
...
South Sea Domain.
"They're attacking!"
"They've co!!"
The factory's main door was pushed open. Little White, pitch-black all over, stood at the doorway, panting heavily with a forehead full of sweat.
The people from the Integration Faction, who were resting all around the factory, stood up in confusion. "What's attacking?"
"That group of Calamities is attacking!!"
"Ah?!"
"Then isn't the South Sea Domain in danger?"
"Wait, didn't the South Sea Domain governnt forbid us from leaving this factory? They even sent people to set up checkpoints outside... Little White, how did you know??" Linglong asked in confusion.
"Uh... about this..." Little White froze, hesitating to speak.
"Spit it out!! What ti is it now! Stop keeping us in suspense!"
"Aiya, it's just that last ti, before you guys ca in, weren't Little Peach and I guarding this place? At the ti, we were afraid of being hunted down, so we secretly dug a dog hole behind the toilet... If you crawl down along the dog hole, you can get out following the sewer pipes. Later, after you guys ca, I was afraid the governnt people would find out, so I secretly filled it back up.
"But Little Peach and I still occasionally go out from there... We weren't sneaking out to play behind your backs! It's because Little Peach was worried that Great King Chen Ling might be in trouble, so she regularly goes outside to read the newspapers! Today, right when she arrived at the newsstand, she heard that a fight had broken out outside!"
"Good on you, Little White! Secretly leaving a way out and not telling us, huh!"
"Sly!"
"Is now the ti to talk about this? Those Calamities have attacked again!"
"Then what do we do... do we run for our lives?"
"Run, what run! True n should go to the battlefield and fight to the death with those Calamities! Hmph, didn't these people from the South Sea Domain look down on us? Let's show them our strength!"
"Exactly! We'll go to the frontlines to kill the enemies and defend the South Sea. Once we beco great heroes, they won't be able to scold us anymore, right?"
"You guys are right... Then after we perform ritorious deeds, can we also go out to eat good food and play fun gas?"
"Of course!"
"Let's go!! Let's go find the people at the checkpoint!! Tell them we want to go to the battlefield too!"
"Wait... how about we wait for Teacher Ye to co back? If we act so rashly, will it cause trouble for Teacher Ye?"
"When is Teacher Ye coming back?"
"I don't know... He was just called away ten minutes ago. It seems he went to the governnt for a eting?"
"..."
While the children of the Integration Faction were chattering and arguing, several kiloters away at the South Sea Domain governnt, Teacher Ye solemnly pushed open the doors to the conference room.
At this ti, the conference room was already full of people. Besides the councilors and South Sea officials, there were also quite a few people from the Pu Family. Pu Chunshu and Pu Xiachen were also among them.
And at the far end of the conference table sat quietly a blind man. He was exactly the trusted confidant of the Lord of the South Sea who had confronted Jian Changsheng, Teacher Ye, and the others previously.
"Teacher Ye, please sit." Although the Blind Man couldn't see, he seed to be able to identify who the newcor was, gesturing for Teacher Ye to take a seat.
Teacher Ye swept his gaze across the conference room:
"The Forbidden Sea has already attacked... Where is Chu Changqing?"
