The Trilobite True God and his fleet, incarnated by his trilobite brethren, quietly unfolded their array outside the star system but did not launch an attack.
However, through the sensors of Lincang No. 9, it was discovered that the opposing True God had already locked down the surrounding spatial warp.
Planet fortresses or human fleets could not initiate a warp to leave the star system.
This ability was not so much related to Divinity, but rather an inherent ability of the trilobites; they beca weapons for their fleet, evolving specialized organs on their bodies to block warp capabilities.
With the warp locked down, if humans wanted to leave the star system, they would either have to break through the blockade technologically or tear apart the trilobite’s array in a physical sense.
And since humanity had nowhere else to go, naturally they would not rashly engage with a fleet that had a True God.
Moreover, the other party was once a champion race, and it was unknown how much technological strength they still retained.
After multiple analyses and etings, the players had no choice but to abandon the plan of a forced attack.
Even in this barren universe scarce of Divinity, a True God dared not expend it wastefully.
Humans, too, would not provoke a True God unless pushed to a dead end.
If truly driven to desperation, the True God would sublimate to the Extre Realm at all costs, regaining his brief yet peak combat power.
Even if humans possessed planet fortresses, the loss would be grievous. Many humans would die.
Furthermore, humans now needed to collect as many resources as possible on the Ring World. Thus, they ended up in a standoff with the trilobite fleet.
This standoff lasted nearly a month.
During that ti, the human fleet obtained many resources from the Ring World and was pleasantly surprised to find land blocks suitable for agricultural cultivation.
With proper usage, they were entirely sufficient to sustain the human fleet’s population of less than a million.
Moreover, the resources brought back by the human fleet could allow Lincang No. 9 to continue manufacturing chanical Titans. However, chanical Titans required a construction period of over a decade, so they would not be relied upon in the short term.
anwhile, the Trilobite True God also made several contacts with humans during this period, trying to reach an agreent with Li Changhe.
Otherwise, he and his fleet would continue to suffocate the humans.
The resources on the Ring World would eventually run out; it was only a matter of ti. For a True God, ti was not an issue. He was keen on forcing the humans into capitulation simply like this.
As ti trickled by.
And when the second month in this universe arrived.
The second and third True Gods successively appeared outside the star system.
One was the Ancient Beastn’s True God and his assembled fleet remnants. There were over ten in just the flagship level.
This even included the Chaos fleet that had escaped from True God Yian’s grasp. It seed the Ancient Beastn had captured them and seized the Chaos flagship.
The reproduction ability of the Ancient Beastn was like the Beastn, relying on the spreading of spores, which were easy to sustain.
Therefore, they had a large population and did not fear casualties. After all, once the spores were spread, they might just sprout from so corner.
But due to the scarcity of resources, the Ancient Beastn True God could not support a larger population.
A rough count estimated that there were only about four million Ancient Beastn in the entire fleet. For the Ancient Beastn True God, the Divinity provided by these believers was too little, far too little.
That was the reason for their arrival.
The third True God was from the Void Creatures, a gigantic Void Dragon!
Resembling the Yinglong from Hua Country’s mythology in appearance, it also had a body length of tens of kiloters, but those pitch-black scales inspired fear.
It led a large group of void dragons, each asuring a hundred ters in length, to the outskirts of the star system. The dragons’ crimson eyes seed to penetrate space and all obstacles, peering at humanity.
Moreover, Lincang No. 9 detected that more True Gods were approaching the star system.
It seed that those beings had all taken notice of Li Changhe’s near-infinite Divinity. They had not agreed upon it but had nonetheless converged towards him in succession.
Thus, by the third month,
many differing voices had erged within the human fleet.
So proposed a direct breakout, activating the planetary fortress to breach the blockade and escape the enclosure of the True Gods.
Others believed that compared to the ancient beastn and the void dragons, the trilobites offered the best terms and perhaps suggested trying to cooperate with them. With a True God as a friendly force, humanity’s pressure would be greatly reduced.
Yet another opinion was to stay put as the True Gods had mutual reservations, and with three powers present, none dared to act. It would be better to wait for a recall from the Netherworld.
The fleet’s higher-ups and the players had obviously chosen the third option.
Over these three months, they hadn’t launched any offense. And the True Gods hadn’t shown themselves, only sending small troops to harass the humans, which were directly shot down by the planetary fortress.
anwhile, the True Gods were silently analyzing the human fleet’s living strength.
The situation was not good for humanity. Once a certain balance was broken, a great war would ensue.
"Three months," the Supre King sighed lightly. He was on the central bridge of the planetary fortress when he gazed into the distance and said, "It’s uncertain how much longer we’ll have to wait."
"It won’t be much longer, consider the difference in ti span. It’s possible that while three months have passed here, only a few days have gone by in the Netherworld," Li Changhe replied, "After we return to our own world, you can go and awaken the girl."
The Supre King glanced at him and silently nodded.
In fact, by the third month, a look of despair had surfaced on many players’ faces in the human fleet. The Netherworld task was at most half a year in duration. Before the exile, almost two months had already passed, and now another three months were gone. So players worried that the players in the Netherworld had already completed the task or had even been defeated by the Different Race demigods. But due to the potential differences in the passage of ti between the two worlds, the players still harbored a sliver of hope.
For the Supre King and Li Changhe, the good news was that the previous experint had been a success.
The Demigod Projection’s Divinity had beco unclaid, aning that Xiao Nan from the Netherworld could be awakened at any ti. However, given the current circumstances, awakening her seed inappropriate. Out of their personal sentints, they thought it better to wait until they were back before awakening the girl.
As for the encirclent by the True Gods... the two of them weren’t too concerned.
True Gods were certainly powerful, and it was possible for the two of them to join forces to fight or even kill a demigod, but it was truly difficult to defeat a True God.
But, when multiple opposing and wary True Gods appeared, they beca hesitant to attack humanity.
After all, Li Changhe had plenty of Divinity to spare. He could always offer the Black Mud Divinity to one of them; if they could swallow it, then let them fight among themselves. Would they dare touch humanity then?
It was at this mont that Li Changhe suddenly turned to look at Silent Senior Sister beside the Supre King, his expression one of shock.
An expression that scread, "How are you still alive?"
This left Silent Senior Sister montarily perplexed, and the other players wore strange looks. What, had Li Ba General found out that a True God was up to sothing?
Li Changhe’s gaze slowly shifted as if sothing invisible to others was drawing his attention.
After a few seconds of silence, Li Changhe suddenly gave an order to Lincang No. 9, "Stop the planetary fortress’s rotation... no, slow down the planet’s rotation."
Lincang No. 9 obeyed, activating its engines to decelerate the rotation of the planetary fortress. The rest of the players were puzzled.
"And a soft chuckle from Li Changhe, "So that’s how it is... Inform everyone, prepare for departure!"
"Departure?" a player asked with a furrowed brow, "Where to?"
"Ho!"
