Should He Blow Up the Wall?

In the ancient past, during the Immortal Domain's golden age, whenever a cross-realm war broke out in the Boundary Sea, convention dictated that Immortal Kings fought Immortal Kings and True Immortals fought True Immortals. High-level powerhouses were not allowed to bully juniors of lower realms without cause.

The strong had their own battlefields, and the weak had theirs.

These so-called Dao Soldiers were specifically assigned to those skilled at commanding troops and arranging formations. Using special Permission Tokens, they could draw upon the Mighty Pass's formation power to set up arrays, support the weak, clean up battlefields, eliminate cannon fodder, and so on.

In this frame, a million Golden Armored Dao Soldiers with combat power at the Saint King level immediately formed an array. Glowing golden Rune Chains surged outward, completely sealing off the Block Person as they methodically channeled the city wall's offensive formation power and attacked that sluggish blocky body.

Yet even the phantoms of the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, whose mere pressure could destroy superclusters if they stood still and did nothing to restrain it, were useless against Creative Mode's absolute defense. These Dao Soldiers, whose individual attacks could only shatter planets, still dealt no damage whatsoever.

Accompanied by the familiar Ender Pearl teleportation effect, purple particles danced and filled Fang Zheng's vision. The golden-red energy tsunami suddenly vanished.

In its place stood an incomparably majestic city wall before Fang Zheng, one so vast that its end could not be seen.

Crack...

The chains gleaming with dazzling golden light and flowing with countless runes were pulled taut, even emitting a piercing sound like tearing metal. Yet they could not drag the blocky body pressed against the wall by even half an inch.

"Huh?" Drawn by the sound, Fang Zheng looked around at the Golden Armored Divine Generals surrounding him layer upon layer, then shouted excitedly.

"People! I haven't seen people in so long! What are your names? Where is this? Is this the Cultivation World? What is this city? Do I look a little scary? Were that White Tiger and Vermilion Bird divine beasts? What's the cultivation system here? Can you understand what I'm saying? Why aren't you talking..."

Having been trapped in the Block World for so long without seeing anyone of his kind, Fang Zheng had once gone mad from loneliness and solitude. Now, in his excitement, he babbled a long string of nonsense.

But after stammering on for quite some time, Fang Zheng finally noticed that something was wrong.

"Huh? Why am I tied up? I'm not a bad person! Why are you tying me up? Can't we just have a proper conversation..."

He hurriedly rattled off another long string of words. Looking at the Golden Armored Divine Generals, he then noticed something strange. "Wait! Why do all your faces look the same? Are you clones? Or... puppets?"

After trying his best to communicate for so long, the identical golden-armored figures still did not utter a single word. They simply continued attacking without pause, leaving Fang Zheng somewhat disheartened.

"I thought I could finally have a good chat with someone..."

He sighed. "I'm out of here."

With that, he immediately switched to Spectator Mode. His entire body turned into an intangible phantom and passed straight through the enormous golden chains.

Crack!

The taut golden chains suddenly lost their target and whipped away at unimaginable speed, ripping open a black spatial rift and smashing apart a swath of Golden Armored Dao Soldiers.

Looking at the shattered golden-armored figures and the golden runes exposed within their bodies, Fang Zheng was somewhat disappointed. "Looks like you really are puppets."

"But..." Fang Zheng watched the countless Golden Armored Golems erupt into frantic motion, searching for him after his sudden disappearance, and felt a little puzzled.

"Why are they reacting so strongly? Who's controlling them?"

He felt a little annoyed. Did I provoke them or something? I just transmigrated here, and that enormous White Tiger and Vermilion Bird immediately attacked and sealed me. I just slipped out, and now all these Golden Armored Golems are trying to capture me? What law did I break? Couldn't they at least ask what I came here for?

Fang Zheng muttered indignantly, "Forget it. I can't die anyway, so I won't stoop to your level for now."

"Good thing the Ender Pearl wasn't too far off course. I really did make it to the city wall."

"But... what the hell is this city wall?" After directly passing through the wall in Spectator Mode, Fang Zheng saw no bricks or any strange material.

Inside was nothing but runes—countless runes in constant motion, dense enough to make anyone with trypophobia nauseous. Like gears, they formed a seemingly impregnable Mighty Pass.

"How am I supposed to get inside now?"

Fang Zheng muttered helplessly.

"Judging by this wall's astronomical length, width, and height, its thickness must be ridiculous too. How many years would I have to fly before getting through it? Do I need to use that Vermilion Bird and White Tiger law bucket again?"

Fang Zheng pondered it. Based on what he had just seen in Spectator Mode, this so-called city wall was most likely formed by some kind of array.

In other words, just like before, he could probably enter the wall in Spectator Mode, switch to Survival Mode, dig out a few blocks, then place the Four Symbols Killing Array's Rune Chains inside. That would likely blow this thing up.

But... "Wouldn't that offend them too much?"

Fang Zheng talked to himself. "I was suddenly sealed for no reason. Opening the seal myself and escaping is still pretty normal."

"And these golden-armored people—if they're puppets, they seem kind of stupid. They're probably automated puppets without anyone controlling them from behind the scenes."

"But if I deliberately blow up someone else's city wall, could I accidentally kill some ordinary residents?"

Although he had been attacked the moment he transmigrated—attacked by a White Tiger as huge as a Supergiant Star and a Vermilion Bird as large as the moon—any normal person would have died several times over.

Still, no matter what, such an enormous city could not possibly house only a handful of people, even in the Xianxia World.

If blowing up the wall killed the person who had ordered the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird to attack him, Fang Zheng would definitely be thrilled.

But if the shockwave accidentally killed innocent people, Fang Zheng would feel guilty for a long time.

"Even if no ordinary residents get blown up..." Looking at the boundless, magnificent city wall, Fang Zheng felt puzzled.

"If this really is a Xianxia World, what kind of enemy would require an astronomical-scale wall to defend against? If I really blow up the wall and the enemy it was guarding against discovers it, wouldn't they immediately launch an attack and start a war?"

"Once war starts, how many people will die?"

After thinking it over, Fang Zheng subconsciously shook his blocky head.

"Forget it. I'll try using the main gate instead. If I accidentally start a war, I'd feel terribly guilty."

"It's just... how do I get to the main gate?"
