The arrival of the Tengu Pseudo-God seems to have triggered some rules, leading to the game fixing some bugs.

Now, a full three minutes have passed, and the length of the five rifts that have opened up in the wasteland's night sky is still increasing slowly.

But unlike last time, this time endless cold winds seeped out from the crack and blew down onto the earth below.

The still surging seawater seemed to slow down as if someone had pressed the slow-motion button, and its flow began to slow down.

The amazing thing is that this cold wind only affects water, not people or things.

Its influence is limited to slowing down all marine life; it has little direct destructive power.

Even so, after another two minutes, as the gap in the sky continued to open and close, the seawater began to gradually "stop"!

Ice floes began to accumulate on the sea surface, and then disintegrated into a single mass within two or three seconds.

The fire beside the Tundra Fleet gradually died down under the influence of the ice, eventually turning into wisps of water vapor that rose into the sky.

Humans exploring underwater were frantically fleeing to the surface when they were astonished to discover that in just a few minutes, the ice layer had thickened enough to support the weight of a human body.

Their boats, held in place by the ice, stopped moving and rocking, as if glued to the spot, completely still.

Even the Hope, before it could use its special abilities, was just like any other ordinary ship, fixed to the surface of the sea by the solid ice.

According to the previous plan, Su Mo originally intended to use the identity of the Golden Haired Lion King to achieve this Three Races War that would end the tsunami.

But now the game's sudden update, along with its 99.9% team wipe rate, has already helped him achieve this goal.

The alien race became anxious.

Or rather, the Five Great Royal Clans are getting anxious!

This investment has now reached the final stage where we can cut our losses. If we don't step in now to reap the rewards, every minute we delay will bring new risks.

As for Su God, who could slaughter gods in the wasteland, they couldn't care less about him this time.

Furthermore, compared to the Tengu Pseudo-God, the powerful strength of the gods behind the Five Great Royal Clans gave them enough confidence! They believed that after their arrival, they could easily suppress these insignificant mortals and this "godless" wasteland!

But what they didn't know was that in some remote corner of the wasteland, this mortal they had ignored was smiling as he looked at the breach through which they had descended.

"Sure enough, the game has also discovered that these gods are bugs in the wasteland!"

"The unexpected changes to the game rules were caused by the rewards for the last god-slaying event."

"Perhaps once the Real Survival Version is implemented, we'll have to lead our troops back to their homeland to see these so-called gods again!"

Things did not turn out as expected.

Having figured out the game's attitude towards these gods, Su Mo was already "very familiar" with what was about to happen.

Even before entering combat mode, my ears were already ringing incessantly with private messages.

All players who have Su God as a friend, from traders who have only added him as a friend but have never spoken to him, to Lu Yongyi who just left.

These people had all clicked into the panel and were frantically sending messages.

Unlike last time, now that everyone is facing almost the same crisis, they have new expectations and new "lifelines"! But can these lifelines really save them?

The answer is yes! "Mass message: Don't worry, I've got you covered!"

[Log]: Player Su Mo, your friend private message panel has been sent. Do you want to mute friend private messages (for six hours)? "Yes!"

Seeing his friend messages to hundreds of people instantly sent out by the game, Su Mo stretched and then tapped into the World Channel.

From the early morning of February 24th to the early morning of March 9th, the ocean has been at its lowest point for fourteen days.

In just two weeks, the human population, which originally numbered over four billion, plummeted to just over two billion.

This silent demise, like a frog being slowly boiled in water, did not elicit any reaction from anyone.

But right now, the arrival of the false gods behind the Five Great Royal Clans has made every human living in the wasteland feel a deadly threat!

At this moment, even though there is a limit to the number of messages that can be sent in the world chat.

The information refresh rate has reached an alarming new high!

"The seawater around us is frozen over. The ice is so thick that we can't break through it with Iron Pickaxe. Are we just supposed to wait to die on the sea?"

"The alien race that we were fighting just now is kneeling on the ground to greet us. It seems that this is another trick by the alien race. I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced!"

"So many times in two months, is this what survival is?"

"This game is awesome! I've completely rediscovered what ' Real Survival ' means!"

"Damn it, I'd rather stay on Earth and get hit by a comet. Here, these kinds of creatures appear every few days. How am I supposed to survive?!"

"Where is Su God? We have Su God. Su God already slaughtered a god last time. They will still die this time!"

"Still thinking about Su God? Bro, this time it's not just one, it's five! Who can handle five of them!"

"We've already lost 40% of our brothers in one battle, and now we have to face these creatures. This is truly a game, a game of life and death!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, Su God actually replied to my message just now, telling me not to worry, that he's here for me!"

"???"

"Really??"

"It's true, it's true! My brother has Su God's friend list. Su God really posted it just now, he really posted it!"

"Ah???"

"I received it too. Su God has the means, so we shouldn't be afraid. Brothers, don't panic. Pick up your weapons and be wary of these alien beasts' counterattack."

"."

Even with the game's active filtering, dozens of messages scroll down rapidly every second in the chaotic World Channel.

Although Su Mo only sent a message to a group of over 300 people, given the current dissemination efficiency...

In less than a minute, this base number will expand to several thousand, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

At this critical moment, any news about Su God will spread at an unprecedented speed.

Even official organizations are using all their intelligence resources to try to get the message to more people and calm them down.

If the alien gods descending at this moment could observe what was happening on the sea below, they would surely discover:

That feeling of "despair" was rapidly receding.

Instead, an emotion they had long lost rose up.

This emotion was strange; it seemed to possess a life force, causing everything around it to tremble slightly at a unique frequency.

Although these objects and these humans themselves could hardly perceive such changes, Su Mo, sitting in the cockpit of the Hope, keenly sensed something strange...

Resonance!

The resonance was silent, but the flag of the Hope at the bow of the ship had begun to flutter without any wind, at some point in time.

Without any ability to activate it, this flag, with hope printed on one side and the Su Character" on the other, spontaneously began to gather light.

Moreover, this light does not come from the flag itself, but from the heavens and earth!

It was a dark night, and it was difficult to see anything more than a few dozen meters away.

The wind was howling coldly, and the ice on the sea was as cold as frost.

But now, after news broke in the World Channel that Su God was about to take action, the sea area where the Tundra Fleet was anchored suddenly lit up.

Countless fine, thread-like lights flew in from nowhere, as if guided by a compass, and seamlessly merged into the flag on the bow of the Hope! "Could it be..."

Looking through the porthole at the flag, which had become almost as bright as the Hope when its powers were fully activated in just twenty seconds, a sudden realization flashed through Su Mo's mind.

At the same time, the Game Panel popped up naturally and automatically jumped to the vehicle interface! [Record]: Congratulations player Su Mo, your Legendary-Class vehicle "Hope" has embarked on the second path to legendary advancement.

[Record]: Congratulations player Su Mo, your Legendary-Class vehicle "Hope" has successfully unlocked its legendary ability. [Record]: Player Su Mo, it has been detected that your vehicle meets the conditions for building a fleet. Do you wish to trigger the formation of the "Hope Fleet"? Three prompts, like heavenly music.

The Legendary Hope stat, which had been locked away for so long, was suddenly unlocked in this way.

And at this moment, looking at the countless tiny threads still gathering from heaven and earth, an even more outrageous idea than before suddenly popped into Su Mo's mind.

"If... if I could turn all the ocean-going ships in the wasteland into members of my fleet..."

"If all ships possessed 60% of the Hope's capabilities!"

"Then, all current forms will..."

"A complete reversal!"

A sharp glint shot out from Su Mo's eyes.

At this moment, looking at the five cracks that appeared in the night sky, Su Mo felt a surge of heroic spirit welling up within him.

They thought this war was over! But now, this war will be the beginning of a new era for humanity! As long as this insane plan can be realized!

From this day forward, all alien races on this land will be wiped out! The reconstruction of human civilization will face no further obstacles, except for natural disasters! "Connie, come here and start the live stream! I want all the alien races to witness firsthand how their false god kneels at my feet!"

"After this battle, I will let everyone know that this world is not no-man's-land!!!"

Clad in Black Armor and wielding Two-Edged Blade, Su Mo strode onto the Main Deck outside the cockpit while issuing commands through his headset.

Here, one can bask in the warm light emanating from the Hope Battle Flag.

Here, Su Mo wants to show all the survivors struggling in the wasteland what hope truly is!

[Log]: "Congratulations player Su Mo, your ship's integrity level has exceeded 50%, and leaderboard points calculation will be automatically activated."

[Log]: "Congratulations, player Su Mo. Your Ship Disaster Resistance Attribute is currently ranked first in the world. Do you want to make the leaderboard data public and start a live broadcast of disaster relief at the same time?"

[Record]: "Please note that starting a live stream will not show the inside of the ship directly. Instead, it will create a circular live stream above the ship, allowing other players to observe the situation below!"

[Record]: "If you accumulate more than 24 hours on the leaderboard or reach 100 million views, and successfully survive the disaster, you will receive a random Survival Airdrop *1."

[Record]: "Accumulate over 48 hours on the leaderboard or reach 500 million views, and successfully survive the disaster to receive a Wood-level Survival Airdrop *1".

[Log]: "Open??"

"Activate! I choose to make the leaderboard data public, and I choose to simultaneously start a live broadcast for disaster relief!"
