Great Wall

In the Jiayin Three Realms, above the Taiyin of this world, Shen Shuibi sat amidst a cloud of white dust, gazing into the distance at the enormous band of light.

A band of light that can be described as an astronomical spectacle.

Its name is 'Great Wall'.

In other words, 'wall'.

This is a super-giant structure capable of easily spanning billions of light-years on a large scale. Human Path has already refined it and used it as its front line of war.

There are many sections of the Great Wall, but the one in front of us should be called 'Tianshi Wall'.

Of course, it's not the actual Tianshi Wall; it's just a name given to it by Human Path.

The true Tianshi Wall is one of the Three Enclosures, Star Official ranked high in the divine path. It's impossible that the true Tianshi Wall would stand on the side of Human Path at such a time.

However, even the simulated Tianshi Wall is terrifying enough.

With this, Human Path will not be attacked, and will be able to advance and retreat freely. It can also be used to surround powerful opponents.

This Great Wall poses no threat to cultivators around the fifth rank, but it has an immediate effect on those at the third or fourth rank and above. Absolutely no third-rank cultivator would be so stubborn as to try to break through this barrier.

I learned all of this from the Your Highness, so it should be true.

Human Path may want to divide the battlefield, not to separate the small fry, but to forcibly isolate the powerful figures of the Shaman Path, thus forming a siege.

However, it seems that the Tianshi Wall has been broken, and is now divided into so many sections...

This means the war above is more intense than it appears. Although there hasn't been a large-scale, direct military confrontation, this level of combat has already begun.

I hope they win more.

The greater power above, even by a fraction, directly determines the outcome of the battle below, just like the Tianshi Wall Light Belt before us.

Their duel determines the battle situation of the mortals below.

Just like Li Qi is manipulating the World Cluster Formation and pressuring the fragments of Tianshi Wall, if he sends the vanguard world too deep, the vanguard world will easily face a full-scale siege by Human Path, and supplies and support will be almost impossible to reach. The armies in these worlds will be caught in a bitter battle.

If the offering is too shallow, it will not have any effect; Human Path can easily penetrate deeper.

The armies of these worlds can only wait quietly for Li Qi to make a decision. Li Qi makes a wrong decision, they may die mysteriously.

Similarly, Li Qi could only wait for the higher-ups to decide the outcome.

But everyone has their own battles, just like now. If Li Qi wins, the higher-ups will get the victory of the 'Vanguard Battle', which will give them a huge advantage in the battle against powerful beings.

As for Li Qi's soldiers, if Shen Shuibi's vanguard can win the battle, Li Qi will be able to make subsequent arrangements at his leisure.

The top influences the bottom, and the bottom influences the top, ultimately forming a unified whole, where a change in one part affects the whole.

This is the essence of the war before us. It is not a battle between powerful beings, nor is it a game. It is a full-scale war between two Dao Lineage, a contest of all available forces from top to bottom.

Shen Shuibi stared blankly at the band of light, her mind churning with all sorts of emotions.

To outsiders, she simply appears to be spacing out, just like her usual image—a quiet, often dazed, static beauty.

Surrounded by snow-white Yin dust, bright light shone from the distant Jiayang Three Realms. She sat upright on the Yin dust, her gaze drifting towards the boundless void.

The scene was like a painting.

A beautiful woman sits atop the moon, bathed in white light, gazing at the distant starry sky and the Great Wall.

Unfortunately, she was all alone on the moon, and no one could witness this scene.

But at this very moment—

"Yu'er." Li Qi descended from the sky and landed beside her.

The quiet scene was suddenly broken. Shen Shuibi turned around and looked at Li Qi, somewhat surprised. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in charge of the overall situation and mobilization from the rear?"

"The vanguard battle is of great importance, so it's better for me to go to the front lines in person. After all... if it's a fifth-rank exchange, I can still have an absolute advantage among sixth-rank players," Li Qi said with a smile.

"It's just a vanguard battle, why send the commander to the front lines? That's not right." Shen Shuibi stepped forward and held Li Qi's hand with concern. "You shouldn't have come. The general is stationed in the rear to oversee the overall situation. Have you ever seen a witch god personally descend upon your battlefield? Besides, how could it possibly reach the level of a fifth-rank exchange? Even a decisive battle wouldn't be this intense. Why be the vanguard?"

"This battle is indeed important. Being on the front lines in person not only provides combat power but also allows for better command. Liu Junyi is staying in the rear, so his reaction is inevitably delayed. He is definitely not as fast as me. Every bit faster means a point of victory," Li Qi said with a smile.

Shen Shuibi did not budge, but instead said to Li Qi, "... With a formidable enemy at hand, do not let personal feelings disrupt the formation. I know you are worried about me, but since we are already here, worrying is useless. We should do our job well."

Upon hearing this, Li Qi gave an awkward laugh.

Well, you can't hide it from the person you spend every day with and share a bed with.

However... this is also a sign of his immaturity. He still hasn't grasped the so-called 'courage' and can't put it into practice, so he's still very afraid, afraid that something will happen to Shen Shuibi.

All those reasons he gave were really just about wanting to be by Shen Shuibi's side and fight alongside her.

Although they cannot actually fight side by side, his presence on the battlefield would inevitably lead to his Decapitation Strike, which would rapidly escalate the intensity of the war.

Therefore, coming to the front lines of the vanguard battle serves only two purposes.

First, it can indeed boost morale. The arrival of the commander in person is very encouraging for many people. Li Qi's arrival can significantly increase their Heart Qi and give the army a sense of 'we will not be abandoned, we are the core'.

While the second option does allow for a faster response, the trade-off between faster responses in the vanguard battle is that efficiency will inevitably decrease in other areas.

But it doesn't matter anymore; the battle of the vanguard is more important.

But there are many disadvantages, the biggest of which is—

They will die.

They really will be Decapitation Strike.

However, Li Qi shook his head and said with a smile, "It's alright. If you stay in the rear, I'll be even more uneasy. At least let me witness your bravery on the battlefield to put my Anxin, how about it?"

That's true.

If Li Qi were left to watch Shen Shuibi risk her life in the rear, he would be completely uneasy. He had not grasped the meaning of courage, and therefore lacked the courage to stand idly by.

To put it bluntly, Li Qi was still a coward; he needed to see things with his own eyes to feel at ease.

Rather than being restless in the back and unable to do anything well, it's better to come here.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuibi sighed, then hugged Li Qi without saying anything.

The two of them sat down, embracing each other.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle, and it was hard to say whether it was joy or sorrow.

"Alright, time is of the essence. Let's talk about tenderness later. My coming to the front lines is already a done deal. Although I'm not that ambitious, I still have the courage to hold on and not desert my post." Li Qi smiled, helped Shen Shuibi up, and then the two stood side by side and began to stroll in the Yin Dust.

The two talked as they walked.

"So, what's going on this time? Don't we have any support from Wushen Mountain yet?" Getting back to the main topic, Shen Shuibi became serious.

Without the support of Wushen Mountain, this would be a huge problem.

To put it bluntly, the men under Li Qi's command are all 'auxiliary troops,' mere rabble, and they have no chance of fighting the regular army of the Human Path Ministry head-on.

Putting aside other matters, the regular army of the Human Path can still surround and kill even orthodox cultivators of the Dao Lineage of the world. The unique military formations of the Ministry of War are enough to condense the power of a large number of low-grade cultivators into high-grade ones.

Li Qi had studied military formations, but his military formations were roughly equivalent to those of an average college student, while the opposing force consisted of a high-ranking Human Path general.

They are not even on the same level. Li Qi's army can only bully the natives, and it is impossible for them to compare with the Human Path Military School cultivators in large-scale battles.

Therefore, Li Qi replied, "We'll be there soon, but... I don't even know who they are. Logically speaking, Wushen Mountain doesn't have an army, and I don't know who we're going to use to deal with this war."

He shook his head as he said this.

He hasn't received any specific information about the Wushen Mountain army yet, which means they're keeping it a secret. They might only give him the information when they're ready to deploy them to the battlefield.

The army of Wushen Mountain...

It's unimaginable.

In places like Wushen Mountain, there isn't even an administrative system. The composition of the great shamans is more like a club. You do your own thing, I do mine. We only work together under the command of the shaman when there's something to do. Otherwise, we might not even see each other at all.

Under such circumstances, is it really possible to train an army that is comparable to Human Path?

It's hard to say about Li Qi.

"The witch gods won't do things they can't win, so there's no need to worry about that. Let's do a simulation. Let's assume that Liu Junyi uses the standard army of a Cavalry General of the Ministry of War, which is ten armies, plus those ordinary worlds that follow Human Path. Based on this standard, how about you and I fight with our current forces?" Shen Shuibi said.

"Do you know the configuration of the Tang Kingdom army?" Li Qi asked in surprise.

"Of course I don't know, but I do understand the basics. However, each army in the Tang Kingdom is very different. Depending on the general's style, the fighting style is also different. But I will be lenient in my assessment of the enemy and will fight against them as if they were a perfect, invincible iron army."

"Alright, let's give it a try." Li Qi also became interested, and then the two began to deduce the results.

With their combined intelligence, the deduction process will be very fast and highly accurate.

The couple began to rehearse and practice, preparing for the moment when war would break out.

But for the ordinary world, this moment is somewhat awkward.

What's so awkward about it? It's simply that you feel powerless.

On one hand, these worlds are extremely tense because they all know they will be facing Human Path and other worlds that support Human Path, such as... the Jiayin Three Realms and Jiayang Three Realms, which are about to arrive at the vanguard battlefield.

Both of these worlds are of the sixth rank when separated, but when combined, yin and yang unite, allowing this world to give birth to a fifth-rank being.

This falls far short of the standard for a fifth-grade world, because a fifth-grade world must be able to accommodate multiple fifth-grade cultivators and create numerous fifth-grade Law Treasure.

The names of these two worlds are also quite interesting. They are not actually real names, but rather 'numbers'. Some large worlds have too many worlds under their control, and there are too many worlds with the same name. So they will abandon their original names and start naming them with numbers to avoid duplicate names.

Both worlds are extremely warlike and possess an unyielding spirit, which is one of the reasons why Shen Shuibi chose them as the vanguard world.

Another reason is that the Jiayin Three Realms and Jiayang Three Realms can perfectly support the Yin-Yang separation method of Mount Luofu, allowing Shen Shuibi to receive great blessings here.

However, by now, the Jiayin Three Realms and Jiayang Three Realms have long since broken away from his ancestral world. Tens of thousands of years ago, these two worlds launched a rebellion.

In the Civilization History, this rebellion was both the greatest sacrifice and the greatest victory.

Of course, the endless worlds beyond the realms contain stories far broader and grander than any of these, so the stories of the Jiayin Three Realms and Jiayang Three Realms are not unusual.

However, for them, this event had a profound impact, even leaving its mark on the very essence of their civilization, which remains an indomitable force to this day.

At the same time, it was during that rebellion that a 'Child of Destiny' emerged, a rare occurrence even in the outer realms.

The Heavenly Dao of both worlds simultaneously designated one person as the Child of Destiny. Through arduous battles, he achieved the unity of Yin and Yang, ultimately becoming the only fifth-rank being in the two Sixth-Rank World. It was precisely because he reached the fifth rank that the Jiayin Three Realms and the Jiayang Three Realms successfully broke free from their original sect master world and gained freedom.

At this very moment, this Child of Destiny is located at the gravitational equilibrium point between the two worlds, adjusting the world's position and maintaining its balance.

From a distance, there are two worlds, one red and one white. On one side is a snow-white plain where Yin Qi gathers, and on the other side is a deep red sea of fire where Yang Energy surges. He is right in the center, surrounded by both worlds.

It's as if he's pulling two worlds together.

This is also the origin of his title 'Balancer'. It was precisely because of this characteristic that he was chosen by the Shaman of the Shaman and eventually became a follower of the Shaman Path.

For the Jiayin Three Realms and Jiayang Three Realms, maintaining the balance between the two worlds is like Shaman maintaining the balance of the world; on this concept, the two share a consensus.

However, as he made adjustments, this Child of Destiny sighed.

"The vanguard battle..." he muttered to himself.

He was not afraid of war, but... as soon as he saw the band of light in the distance, he could feel the grandeur of this war.

This was a battlefield far more magnificent than any war he had ever fought.

Furthermore, a Shaman Path Shaman commanded the operation, and it is said that Shaman Path's army would later provide assistance.

All of this is to stop the continued encroachment of Human Path.
