"Old Dean, we have no trump cards left." Xiao Li spoke sorrowfully.
The news had given him a tremendous shock. Beyond War God had actually died in battle in the Wilderness Area! From the message transmitted through the communicator, he learned that the Seventy-Two Stone Statues that had appeared in the Wilderness Area earlier were a race from another planet.
They were known as the Seventy-Two Demon Gods!
Old Dean Feng Ming sighed mournfully. "When has humanity ever possessed such power and prestige? The entire Beast Race launched a fierce Beast Tide, the Deification Alliance waited behind them to assassinate us, and now the Demon Gods have appeared as well."
Xiao Li watched Old Dean sigh again and again, not knowing what to say.
A moment later, Old Dean grabbed Xiao Li's arm and said, "The plan must begin ahead of schedule! We can't drag this out any longer!"
"But—"
"No buts!"
Old Dean Feng Ming cut Xiao Li off. He rose to his feet and said, "Chengtian's death is a warning to me. If we don't evacuate Ten Thousand Stars as quickly as possible, then what awaits us next will be the calamity of humanity's extinction!"
In the end, Old Dean and Xiao Li agreed to complete the important parts first. The small amount of remaining work would be hurriedly repaired after they reached outer space.
Afterward, Old Dean issued the order to sound the city alarm and announce the evacuation, directing all the residents within the city to head for the Ark's location!
Woo—
A mournful horn sounded, and the martial artists holding the front line also received the Ark's information. The protective barrier was on the verge of collapse. Even with Chen Tian's enhancement within it, it was gradually unable to hold.
"Everyone, listen up! Buy the residents enough time to evacuate!" the Military Chief shouted.
On the battlefield, the martial artists and soldiers answered in unison.
"Understood!!!"
Old Zhao and Old Wu looked at the people working together as one, their hearts filled with emotion. When they received news of the Ark plan and the evacuation, they had once been deeply worried.
They had worried that someone among the martial artists would be the first to retreat. Once one person ran back—
a chain reaction would follow, and it would become a devastating disaster! Fortunately, not a single person retreated.
Perhaps they were also thinking of buying their families and friends even the slightest bit of time to evacuate.
The sound of cannon fire rumbled. The weapons brought by the Technology Institute had already been worn out in large numbers.
They had no choice. They had to keep the firepower going at all times. The moment there was even a brief gap in their output, countless monsters would pounce forward.
After several days of consecutive battles, the ground outside the walls was already littered with corpses. Countless monster carcasses lay mixed together with the bodies of martial artists.
Of the seventy-two Beast Emperors, more than thirty had suffered severe injuries, and more than ten had sustained grievous wounds! Elsewhere, the Ark had already activated, and its enormous hull rose into the sky. Even the martial artists at the front line could see it clearly.
Meanwhile, the other departments of the academy were rapidly moving the academy's supplies aboard. Old Dean Feng Ming directed the people from the Supervisory Bureau and the Security Management Bureau to do everything they could to help the residents! Clack—
Bang!!! The first layer of the protective barrier could no longer hold. It shattered at last, turning into dust that scattered on the wind.
"Military Chief! Military Chief!" A Battle King-level martial artist came rushing over.
The Military Chief was hacking down enemies, two with one slash, then three! "What happened?" the Military Chief asked. His hands did not stop moving as he continued slaughtering monsters.
After killing a monster, the Battle King-level martial artist stammered incoherently, "Over there! The gate! It's no good! They can't hold on!"
"What?!" The Military Chief turned around, frowning as he roared, "What happened? Speak clearly!"
"It's the East Gate! It's been breached!"
The Military Chief's heart cried out that something was wrong. If even one of the four gates fell, the entire city district would instantly become a hellish battlefield! "A few of you, come with me to the East Gate!!!"
Without another word, the Military Chief bolted away. Seeing this, Old Zhao and Old Wu did not follow. They continued staying here at the South Gate.
Several Battle Venerables then followed the Military Chief toward the East Gate.
"Wow~" Anlusi stood atop a tree, her eyes wide as she gazed into the distance.
The Hua Xia City District lay ahead, while the ground was covered with countless monsters.
"The person Master mentioned doesn't seem to be here." Anlusi pouted and muttered, "It would be great if the First Demon God and Second Demon God were here. Why did I have to come out first all by myself?"
After arriving here, Anlusi had not joined the battlefield directly. Finding that person was her top priority.
The racial war on Ten Thousand Stars had nothing to do with her. So long as no one was foolish enough to provoke her, that was enough.
In the blink of an eye, she flashed into a desolate city district. Since humanity had all gathered inside Hua Xia, the other city districts had been abandoned.
"Oh? There are people here."
Anlusi rose onto her tiptoes, spun around in place, then danced her way inside.
She soon arrived at a place where she sensed the presence of humans.
"What is this place called?" Anlusi found the writing on Ten Thousand Stars somewhat difficult to understand.
She then searched through her memories, quickly figuring out how to read the script of Ten Thousand Stars.
"NO.1 Alliance?" Anlusi asked doubtfully. "It looks pretty impressive. I'll go find them and play for a while. Hee-hee!"
Deification Alliance headquarters.
"Alliance Leader, you're awake." Heavenly Killing, the vice alliance leader, respectfully asked from the side.
Before him stood a solemn man. Faint golden scales resembling dragon scales could be seen on his arm.
He sat in his chair without saying a word, while Heavenly Killing by his side did not mind in the slightest.
Before him stood ten experts of the Deification Alliance. They were the ten most perfect results obtained after careful selection and tests of life and death! "Excellent, excellent. I, Di Tian, can finally unify Ten Thousand Stars!"
The alliance leader named Di Tian spoke with utter arrogance. He stared at the ten people before him as though he were looking at his own experimental results.
"Heavenly Killing, what did they say about the matter of cooperation?" Di Tian asked.
It seemed that Heavenly Killing's trip to the NO.1 Alliance headquarters to seek out Di Xiong and discuss this matter had been Di Tian's idea.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, their attitudes don't seem to be fully unified," Heavenly Killing said hesitantly.
"Go on. It's fine."
Heavenly Killing nodded and continued, "NO.1 Alliance's Alliance Leader, Di Xiong, is inclined to cooperate, but his Chief Commander—Long Hua—doesn't agree."
"I presume he's persuading the others in the alliance to agree."
Di Tian let out a cold laugh. A vast chill instantly made several people present tremble in fear.
Every one of the ten was shaken by the Alliance Leader's strength. His mere aura could crush them by several levels! Some even swallowed hard and unconsciously took two steps back, wanting to put as much distance as possible between themselves and the Alliance Leader.
"That brat Di Xiong has always been like this. The things he claims to believe in are ultimately nothing but a farce, just like that matter back then." Di Tian's tone was filled with contempt for Di Xiong.
It seemed that the two had known each other in the past.
Heavenly Killing stepped forward and lowered his head, saying in a deep voice, "Alliance Leader, how should we prepare next?"
Di Tian thought for a moment, then suddenly threw his head back and laughed.
"Now that the various forces of Ten Thousand Stars have fallen apart, and they're caught up in the Beast Tide battle, this is the moment for my Deification Alliance to completely replace the Old Humans and become the New Humans!"
Di Tian then rose to his feet and waved his hand grandly. "I announce that the plan officially begins! Proceed to the Hua Xia City District immediately and take the academy's head!"
"Understood!"
The ten answered respectfully before quickly returning to make preparations.
Di Tian turned his head and said to Heavenly Killing, "This era is about to reach its end. We are destined to ascend to the very summit. Now, go to the NO.1 Alliance and ask them one last time."
"I understand!"
Heavenly Killing acknowledged him and also turned to leave.
Di Tian walked outside and gazed into the distance, murmuring, "Old Feng, you'll soon learn just how wrong your decision was."
Old Dean Feng Ming, standing on the Ark's deck, was also staring blankly at the distant scenery.
He quietly murmured a few words.
"Is the history of Ten Thousand Stars about to end? How should the rupture in humanity's history be repaired?"
