The fleet’s complete loss of contact had thrown the upper echelons and players of Hellsprings’ ninety-nine city world into a panic.
However, each giant city quickly responded and concealed this despairing piece of information.
At the sa ti, they hastened the construction of city defenses and desperately manufactured weapons to arm their armies.
They all knew that a great battle was imminent.
Previously, the Chaos Four Sects, Different Races, and Annihilation had each fought their own battles, and humanity had four main fleets that could still contend with them.
But now that the enemy forces had joined together, only two remnants of the human fleets remained, and all their elites were lost.
The enemy would certainly not miss this opportunity. There were signs of Different Race legions moving everywhere. Even the comrcial and military routes between multiple giant cities had been cut off.
Almost every giant city leader’s first reaction was that a full-scale war was about to erupt.
And the one under the most pressure was Chen Yu. All the Great Wall players knew that the "Future Line" was where the future her summoned back humanity’s strongest and slaughtered the gods.
Moreover, Chen Yu was a mber of the Strategy Group.
Thus, the overall command was transferred to Chen Yu.
After analyzing various possibilities,
Chen Yu made several decisions.
Firstly, she decided to leave the safest Kunlun Giant City.
This idea was surprising.
After all, with its massive size and the strongest defense among the giant cities, and its city lord and various leaders being people from Hua Country naturally affiliated with the Great Wall, plus the Heavenly Court Remnant Clan right beneath Kunlun Giant City... Though Jianmu could not easily engage in battle, the enemies would not find it easy to invade the Heavenly Court Ruins.
Under these circumstances, Chen Yu should have stayed within the Heavenly Court Ruins. Then why think of leaving? Why leave the safest place?
But in reality, Chen Yu considered that her future self had summoned humans back from above the sea.
Perhaps this was related to the relative distance from the exiles.
Therefore, the deeply inland Kunlun Giant City could not be the location for the summoning.
In the best scenario, going directly to the sea, directly to the last known position of the fleet at the Mariana Islands would be the safest for summoning. But it would also be the most dangerous.
Now, the only forces that could act outside the giant cities were the End of the God War fleet led by Red Fist and an Insect God Vest-controlled Insect God Exoskeleton left at Kunlun Giant City.
Even if all were combined, they could not ensure Chen Yu’s safety during the summoning. Currently, with humanity weakened, outside the giant cities was the world of Different Races. This idea was directly rejected by Chen Yu.
So the next best thing was the giant cities!
Chen Yu set her sights on a few cities close to the sea.
There were only three options, three giant cities in Asia close to the Mariana Islands. As for Japan... it was long gone due to the rising sea levels.
The three giant cities were the Sky Mountain Giant City, which Li Changhe had ordered to be cleansed with nuclear bombs after being breached by Chaos.
The Border Giant City, which had previously experienced enemy attacks.
And the Fla Emperor Giant City, which was not too far from the sea.
After much thought, Chen Yu chose Border City as the summoning site.
There seed to be activities of Different Races under the Fla Emperor Giant City, which might beco a weak point.
As for Border City... After the last war, the insect swarm controlled by an Insect God Vest had cleared out the bottom nest. Subsequently, the swarm was exterminated by human players. The bottom nest was very safe. If necessary, they could enter the bottom nest for defense!
anwhile, the Border Giant City stepped up the construction of defensive fortifications.
In Chen Yu’s calculations, if she really found a way to summon back Li Changhe and others, the Different Race divinities would definitely notice and focus their attack in an attempt to kill her and prevent Li Changhe’s return.
Thus, the second directive she issued was to gather strength and head to Border City. At the sa ti, Border City also needed to prepare for warti.
This was also her second reason for choosing Border City. Other giant cities might not cooperate as much, and the city lord of Border City and its leaders still trusted her. After all, she was herself from this world and the biological sister of this world’s self.
Hearing Chen Yu’s explanation, Qiu Wentian nodded continuously but still voiced his concerns, "I understand your thoughts, but there are still two most critical issues."
"I know," Chen Yu nodded slightly, "One is whether I can find the thod to summon them back, and the second is... even if I find that thod, we might not be able to hold out until their return."
In the future line, the future Chen Yu died, and within a month, Li Luoling avenged her by killing the Abnormality Demigod and then fell into a state of collapse before entering the task and coming to the main world, completing the task and leaving.
That was when humanity returned to the Dark Side.
This proved that summoning was not instantaneous.
During this period, the Different Race forces that discovered Chen Yu’s summoning would not stand idly by. Gathering all the legions to besiege Border City, or even several Different Race demigods taking action was completely within the realm of possibility.
And in a worse scenario, they might have already received this intelligence. After all, the Chaos Believers had strong intelligence-gathering abilities.
But currently, the Different Races had not taken any overt actions against Chen Yu, which might rule out this possibility.
"The pressure has all converged... you’ve had a hard ti, Yu," Qiu Wentian said in a low voice, comforting her. She could see that all the pressure had fallen on Chen Yu’s shoulders.
Thinking about the thod of recall, preparing for potential assassinations and sieges. These were the issues Chen Yu needed to consider.
If she could leave these issues behind, as a player, she could just wait until the mission was over, rather than risking her life.
"Pressure? Who isn’t under great pressure?" Chen Yu, however, slowly shook his head, "Originally this pressure was on Li Changhe and the Supre King. But when they left, this burden fell on us. Wuji and Chen Guang went out of the city to pursue and kill the Different Race Legion in order to break through their own limits. The Extraordinary Alliance, to stabilize the public’s mind, began to recruit remaining senior transcendent beings into an army... These were the responsibilities borne by Li Changhe and others, but his strength made us overlook this point. Now, it has simply returned to us. There’s nothing too hard about it..."
...
anwhile, in an abnormal space, a huge number of human fleets, Chaos fleets, and Different Race legions along with several man-made islands and a vast expanse of seawater appeared out of thin air before crashing down.
The mont they appeared, both sides suffered massive casualties.
Those who killed them were the environntal conditions of the space.
This was a strange continent floating in the void, not even a complete planet; on the edges of the continent, you could see the crust peeled away, exposing the glowing-hot mantle beneath.
As they appeared, people were on top of this weird planet tens of thousands of ters high and plumting wildly towards the ground.
The vacuum and high temperatures imdiately claid the lives of so human warriors who were originally fighting on the man-made islands. Human demon armies and Celestial Soldiers and Generals, and transcendent beings still held on, even managing to help human warriors get back into landing capsules or use magical skills for protection, greatly reducing casualties.
Fortunately, most human warriors were in the main ships, escort vessels, and cruisers which were not naval fleets but space battleships by nature unaffected by the vacuum.
As for the Different Race Legion, they weren’t so lucky. Although they also had fleets, these were located far away and couldn’t accommodate so many from the Different Race Legion.
Thus, a large number of Different Race army personnel’s blood vessels burst in the vacuum, and then they plumted. Only so of the Different Races with unique talents could resist the vacuum.
Li Changhe, transford into the Bronze Demon God, naturally did not fear the vacuum; he just felt the space twist and then appeared here.
He understood... he had been exiled after all!
What a brilliant move! Using over a million Different Race and Chaos Legion as one of the baits and exiling all the powerful ones including himself and the Supre King.
No wonder no Demigod of the Different Race showed. And no one stopped him from destroying the Teleportation Gate.
This was really what they wanted!
Damn it!
Watching a large number of human warriors die, Li Changhe felt his heart sink while he shouted with his divinity, "Supre King, take them all away! The rest, get into the landing pods and prepare to land!"
His divinity thus allowed him to roar in the vacuum.
The Supre King, without needing a reminder from Li Changhe, had already employed his magical skill; the Three Pure Ones simultaneously used various transfer skills. Trigram Transfer, Five Ghost Transport!
They moved all the surviving human warriors into two main ships.
And human demon armies, Celestial Soldiers and Generals, and the land army’s transcendent beings endured the vacuum, transporting nearby human warriors into various landing pods.
The landing pods could also resist the vacuum, having specialized thrusters to deal with the descent.
The plumting Bronze Demon God then grabbed a Great Chaos Demon, questioning with divine fluctuations, "Where on earth are we?"
"This is your Land of Decay, Li Ba! To die with you is our greatest honor!" Facing the currently struggling General in all his exhaustion, the Great Chaos Demon laughed wildly, "Let’s decay together in this Endless Void!"
The next second, the Great Chaos Demon was directly crushed by the Bronze Demon God.
Li Changhe looked at his [Friends] list; apart from Yang Dong, He Feng, and others in the fleet, the rest of his friends were all dim and lifeless, like Wuji, Chen Guang.
Moreover, his task had changed, the originally visible "Netherworld Ninety-Nine Cities" task panel was now also dim and lifeless.
Could it be that he and his people would be left here forever? Impossible!
Thereafter, the Bronze Demon God abruptly looked out into the universe.
He faintly sensed that within this universe, nurous malicious gazes were cast his way.
"Divinity!"
"Such delicious and vast divinity!"
"Eat him, eat him!"
Even from the exposed mantle of the strange planet below, powerful malice swept up.
A colossal eye, stretching kiloters in length, suddenly opened from the scorching mantle and looked up at the fleet above the planet.
At the sa ti, an unprecedented sense of danger descended upon the Bronze Demon God.
Because, in that eye, he saw greed and malevolence.
However, his Will of Desperation had not yet been triggered.
"Stop the descent, reclaim all landing pods, everyone prepare for jump! True God fluctuations detected!"
(Today’s not a good day, let’s leave it at that.)
