The next moment!
Celestial Pivot Half-Venerable's figure swayed slightly, transforming into a condensed pale-gold streak of light.
It tore through the sky and shot straight into the newly built stone palace at the center of the island, vanishing in an instant.
After Celestial Pivot Half-Venerable departed...
The oppressive atmosphere eased somewhat.
The mortal cultivators in the square exchanged glances, each seeing reverence and lingering fear in the others' eyes.
No one dared say another word. They gathered their thoughts and turned toward their respective construction posts, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the feverish infrastructure works.
The island once more rang with thunderous noise, while the spirit light of spells rose and fell.
Hauling, excavating, forging, setting formations...
Every task proceeded in orderly fashion.
The main headquarters of the frontline forces under Celestial Pivot Half-Venerable's command began relocating and establishing itself around this main island in an organized manner.
Great numbers of mortal cultivators and military supplies flowed here without end.
More and more human cultivators hurried to the island chain, joining this vast construction project.
The spirit light blooming as formations were laid down, the hum of circulating spells, the footsteps of cultivators... countless sounds and lights intertwined, composing this bustling scene.
Very soon!
The outline of an Immortal City gradually took shape.
And across the vast human frontline territory...
Similar scenes of admonishment and construction continued to play out across one island after another.
It was as if the entire human army at the front had thrown itself into massive construction.
Likewise!
The human army's astonishing, all-out infrastructure campaign was not concealed in the slightest.
Naturally, it fell precisely into the eyes of the allied Demon Race forces confronting them along the entire front.
Artificial immortal islands rose from the sea one after another.
Layers upon layers of defensive lines
