The Situation in the Two Realms (Part 2)
Yang Tianyou listened quietly as the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master explained the situation of the Nine Phoenix Realm, his heart heavy.
The fate of the defeated is undoubtedly tragic. Take the various races in the Nine Phoenix Realm Ocean for example. They have been arbitrarily exploited for many years, their cultivation paths have been cut off, and they can only grovel at the feet of the Nine-Phoenix Clan, allowing them to take whatever they want.
If the Lu Wu Realm is defeated, even if some living beings survive, the outcome will not be much better, and may even be worse.
"We must win!" Yang Tianyou clenched his fists.
The mental journeys of other powerful individuals were not much different from his.
First-hand experience and understanding from classical texts are two different concepts.
Over the past month, the powerful warriors have gradually adapted to the brutality of the Interface War, their killing methods have become more decisive, and their desire for victory has grown stronger.
The most direct benefit of this change in mindset is that the Lu Wu Realm Alliance has become more united. The good things that were originally kept hidden away and were reluctant to be taken out were all brought out and contributed to the Alliance Treasury.
The primary objective is to win the Interface War; everything else can wait until the war is over.
Although the road ahead was fraught with difficulties, they had not completely lost hope. Many of the strong individuals were determined and would not give up until the very last moment.
After explaining the Nine Phoenix Realms, the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master waved his right hand, and the light screen in front of him rippled, transforming into a different map.
The world was somewhat gloomy, filled with Sha Qi, teeming with Yaomo and Fierce Beasts... This was the Qiongqi Realm.
The Spiritvoid Pavilion Master pointed to the vast landmass in the center of the map and said, "The Qiongqi Realm consists of only one continent, surrounded by Oceans on all sides. The ratio of their areas is approximately three to seven."
"Therefore, the Qiongqi Realm can be roughly divided into nine major regions: the four major Oceans of the east, west, south, and north, as well as the Eastern Region, Northern Wilderness, Southern Barbarians, Western Desert, and Central Plains of the Central Continent."
"Among these, the main Human Race settlements are the Central Plains and the Eastern Regions, where the Nine Great Immortal Sects are located."
The other three major regions are the territories of Yaomo, where all other living beings are treated like pigs and sheep, at their mercy. The Twenty-Four Forbidden Zones of Yaomo are also the most powerful force in the Qiongqi Realm.
Then there are forces such as the Ghost Tribe, the Witch Tribe, the Nether Tribe Clan, the Barbarian Tribe, and the Water Tribe. These races combined are somewhat stronger than Human Race, but far weaker than Yaomo.
At this point, the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master paused, his expression turning serious, and said, "However, all of the above is without taking into account the Fierce Beast race."
The rules of the Qiongqi Realm are somewhat abnormal, with Sha Qi permeating the air, making it possible for any living being to be corrupted into Fierce Beast.
Land, Ocean, sky—all regions are inhabited by numerous Fierce Beasts, among which the Seven Great Fierce Beast Kings are the most terrifying, known as the Seven Great Fiend Demons.
These Seven Great Fiend Demons are the Will of Heaven and Earth, born for unknown reasons. Their bodies are immortal and indestructible, but their souls decay after a thousand years.
Whenever a soul decays, the Seven Great Fiend Demons unleash a cataclysmic disaster, with endless waves of Fierce Beasts crashing down on all sides, leaving the world in ruins.
Therefore, although the size of the Qiongqi Realm is comparable to that of our Realm, its strength is far inferior.
Excluding the powerful members of the Fierce Beast clan, the other forces only have a little over two hundred Sage Manifestation powerhouse on the surface.
However, due to the harsh living environment, the creatures of the Qiongqi Realm are extremely skilled in combat and proficient in various unorthodox techniques, such as Curses, Blood Sacrifices, Spirit Communication, and Soul Searching, which can be of great use in critical moments.
Moreover, due to the interference of the Will of Heaven and Earth, the Fierce Beasts of the Qiongqi Realm will also obey the command of the Seven Great Fiend Demons and participate in the Interface War. Their overall strength is equivalent to 60-70% of that of my Lu Wu Realm, which is quite considerable!
Under the description of the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master, the basic outlines and appearances of the Nine Phoenix Realm and the Qiongqi Realm were sketched out. After the mystery faded, what remained was only a pure comparison of power.
Undoubtedly, the Nine Phoenix Realm holds an absolute advantage over either the Lu Wu Realm or the Qiongqi Realm.
However, if the two realms join forces, the Nine Phoenix Realm's advantage will rapidly diminish. Although they will still have the upper hand, they will not be without a chance to win.
Fortunately, this time it was Three Stars Converge. If any one of the realms had encountered the Nine Phoenix Realm, there would have been no point in fighting unless a miracle occurred.
After the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master finished introducing the basic situation of the two interfaces, the light screen behind him changed, and the phantom of the Armillary Sphere appeared in the eyes of the powerful figures.
The intricate and complex ritual, resembling the rising and falling of stars, operates along an unusual and mysterious trajectory, with countless pieces of information flowing through it with each rotation.
This treasure, crafted by numerous forces in the Lu Wu Realm, can no longer be described as Law Treasure. If the Lu Wu Realm were to possess Treasure Tribulation Lightning, this treasure could likely Bloodline Metamorphosis directly into Spirit Treasure.
The Armillary Sphere can not only monitor the Realm Gates that appear in various parts of the Lu Wu Realm, but also record Merit. Relying on a wisp of the Will of Heaven and Earth and earth at its core and the Cause-and-Effect Contracts established by various forces, the Armillary Sphere can completely record the Merit of any strong person from the Lu Wu Realm who participates in a battle, as long as it takes place within the realm or World Interstice, ensuring fairness and impartiality to the greatest extent.
In addition, the Armillary Sphere can also monitor battles at the Nascent Soul level or above that break out in various parts of the Lu Wu Realm and project them onto the surface, allowing the Alliance to promptly notify local forces and provide support.
Finally, there's the communication function of the Armillary Sphere. Centered on it, the major forces of the Lu Wu Realm can establish almost unblocked information exchange.
The speed at which intelligence is transmitted has a direct impact on the outcome of a war, Lu Wu Realm, who experienced the Interface War, certainly understands this.
At this moment, on the Armillary Sphere that resembled the rising and falling stars, the entire Lu Wu Realm appeared, including the Eastern Continent, Western Continent, Southern Sea, Eastern Sea, Chaotic Sea, and Frostthunder Region. The map was extremely clear, even down to the level of villages and towns.
On this incredibly detailed map, red dots of varying sizes are scattered across different areas, their number having increased from over three hundred at the beginning to around four hundred.
In a month and a half, approximately sixty or seventy Realm Gates were added.
The Spiritvoid Pavilion Master spoke up, "According to the calculations of the Armillary Sphere, in the first year of the Interface War, the number of Realm Gates will gradually increase, the growth rate will gradually slow down, and eventually stabilize."
The number of Realm Gates, whether increased or decreased, will eventually remain at eight hundred. Sixty percent of these will be passages between my realm and the Nine Phoenix Realm, while the remaining forty percent will connect to the Qiongqi Realm.
"These eight hundred Realm Gates are not of a fixed size. Some of these miniature Realm Gates may seem insignificant at first, but over time they could develop into Large Realm Gates. Conversely, some Large Realm Gates may collapse into medium or small-sized Realm Gates, or even disappear altogether."
"However, based on the experience gained from the last Interface War in our realm, the World Interstice inside Large Realm Gates are quite stable, and there are not many examples of them collapsing and disappearing."
Therefore, every Large Realm Gate is crucial to defense and must be treated with utmost care, because they could very well evolve into Large Realm Gate in the next moment.
"Furthermore, I want to remind you again: do not attempt to forcibly close the Realm Gate by destroying the World Interstice. While it is possible to close the Realm Gate by doing so, it is only a possibility, with a probability of no more than 10%."
On the contrary, there is a possibility that it could stimulate the World Interstice to rapidly absorb power and grow stronger, ultimately causing the Large Realm Gate to arrive ahead of schedule.
"What if the Nine Phoenix Realm expands its Realm Gate in this way?" asked a Rogue Cultivator Sage Manifestation had recently broken through to the Sage Manifestation and lacked sufficient information about the Alliance.
The Spiritvoid Pavilion Master smiled and explained, "First of all, destroying a large-scale World Interstice requires a tremendous price. The swallowing power of that Space Black Hole is terrifyingly strong. If one is not careful, the powerful individuals or legions responsible for carrying out the mission will be completely wiped out."
"Most importantly, after the destruction of the World Interstice, there is less than a 30% chance that the Realm Gate will advance; the effort and the reward are disproportionate."
If the Nine Phoenix Realm were to actually do this, even if they opened Large Realm Gate, the number of powerful individuals would decrease by 60-70%. Unless the opposing power holders are completely insane, they would never undertake such a deal!
