On the hemisphere of the Giant Tree, half of the region was shrouded in mist.
Looking from outside the planet's orbit, Kang Qiao could hardly see anything.
But in the fiery half of the region, Kang Qiao could clearly see the outline of the constantly burning purgatory on the ground!
There was no life, nor any movement that could possibly be caused by a living being.
Moreover, even on this Giant Tree, Kang Qiao couldn't find any signs of life.
Seeing this, Kang Qiao's mind was clearly overloaded.
Logically, with such a massive Giant Tree, how could there be no extraordinary species?
But in reality, there was no life here at all.
It was truly strange! And what was this thing that looked like a protective shield?
Did the Giant Tree create it?
Kang Qiao himself arrived at the location of this invisible barrier.
Its massive body stood upon it. The invisible barrier didn't even transmit sound, but it did spread ripples like water waves.
The ripples spread far and wide, allowing Kang Qiao to fully grasp the scale of the barrier.
"It really covers the entire hemisphere! This power is truly exaggerated."
"It doesn't allow outside creatures to enter. In that case, it's hard to say that this tree doesn't have its own will! But to create such a grand spectacle, is it just to prevent external creatures?"
Kang Qiao was somewhat perplexed.
After all, in Kang Qiao's opinion, the tree had grown so extravagantly. If it could move its roots or something, who on this planet could be its opponent now?
However, from here, Kang Qiao suddenly realized.
Perhaps this tree really couldn't move?
If that were the case, then its self-preservation with such a large-scale barrier would be logical.
"Heh, this is interesting! It grew this big but can't move. As expected of a tree."
"But if this guy could move, that would be unreasonable, right? It's so big; if it moved, the entire planet would probably shift its orbit immediately."
Kang Qiao stood on the invisible barrier and even jumped twice. Well, this thing was indeed quite strong. If it wanted to break through, it would be very, very difficult!
Kang Qiao carefully observed the Giant Tree from different regions and directions, watching from the outer orbit.
But in the end, it could only see a section of the upper part of the Giant Tree's scope.
The clouds and mist swirling around the Giant Tree were too dense.
However, one thing could be known: the branches and leaves surrounding the Giant Tree covered at least one-fifth of the planet's area.
It was quite exaggerated. At least Kang Qiao never dreamed in his previous life that a tree could grow to such an extent.
"Forget it, I'll leave it at that for now! I'll go back and say hello to the other three beasts, and then I'll come back here to study it properly for a while!"
After the sun had shone directly on the Giant Tree's hemisphere for a long time, Kang Qiao finally gave up further observation.
It intended to return to reassure the three beasts, and also to have the Giant Moth try to bring it closer to the hemisphere where the Giant Tree was located, to see if a way could be found to enter the Giant Tree's barrier from below the planet.
In addition, Kang Qiao also had to try to guide new Dinosaur People souls. There were many things to do.
But Kang Qiao was not in a hurry; it was not lacking time at all.
The battlefield of the four tribes, near the terrifying abyss of the deep sea.
At this time, the remaining Frog-Fish People had all retreated into the abyss's chasm.
This place was already more than five thousand meters below sea level.
As for the abyss, simply looking at the vast, dark gullies spanning the entire seabed made the four tribes' hearts tighten.
The abyss was too vast and looked terrifying.
Furthermore, the water pressure here had already reached the limit for the Dinosaur People and Serpent People who could enter the water.
After all, they were not truly aquatic species. Entering five thousand meters deep into the seabed required an extremely exaggerated amount of energy. Not to mention that the increasing water pressure made these land-dwelling species feel powerless.
"It seems we can only go this far." The Shark People priest gasped for breath and stood at the edge of the abyss, letting out a long sigh.
"Yes, these Children of the Deep Sea are already familiar with the abyss. If we were ambushed in here, it would be difficult for us to escape."
"Indeed, we two tribes are races of the land. Entering the deep sea like this is already pushing our limits. It's temporarily impossible to completely eradicate the Children of the Deep Sea. Moreover, our casualties this time are already very heavy. We might need to recuperate for thousands of years before we can recover," the Serpent People priest sighed.
Seeing the Serpent People priest's melancholy, the Shark People priest immediately said solemnly, "Please rest assured, the two tribes. We Children of the Near Sea will remember this kindness for your tribes helping us so much this time."
"There's no need for such formality. If you consider it kindness, it's too much. We four tribes are already one. As subjects of the Four Gods of Order, how can there be distinctions between 'you' and 'me'?" the Dinosaur People priest Barton waved his hand and smiled tiredly.
"Priest Barton's words are indeed good. However, the rewards for the three tribes helping you Children of the Near Sea this time cannot be less," the old Serpent People priest was quite pragmatic.
"That's easy to say, easy to say. The flesh and blood of those Children of the Deep Sea this time will be enough for your Blood Kin for a long time. Furthermore, as a reward, we Children of the Near Sea will open some of the near-sea fishing grounds to you as previously agreed."
"That's secondary. We'll discuss it when we get back. I wonder how the God War between our Father God and the Lord of the Deep Sea is going? It's still too early to talk about these things."
"Heh, what's there to worry about? All four of our Order's gods have descended here. No matter how strong the Lord of the Deep Sea is, can he fight against four at once? Besides, with the majestic divine power displayed by the God of Lava when he appeared, don't your Children of Lava still trust your Father God's abilities?" the Serpent People priest glanced at Barton dismissively.
"We Children of Lava are naturally devout believers in the magnificence of the Father God; you don't need to remind us of that, Priest North. It's just that the divine authority of our Father God is, after all, that of Lava and Earth."
The Dinosaur People priest, whose name was Barton, didn't continue speaking. However, the Shark People and Serpent People priests both understood, and a hint of solemnity appeared on their faces.
Indeed, this was the great sea.
The divine body of the Lord of the Deep Sea was already immensely vast, and its divine power could be imagined to be abundant.
Although the divine body of the God of Lava was not small either, in the minds of the three races, it was indeed a god of the earth. Earth and the deep sea inherently had mutual restraints, so their concerns were not without reason.
With this thought, the three leading priests all exchanged glances.
"It seems we really must withdraw our troops immediately, also to prevent any unforeseen circumstances," the Shark People priest said solemnly.
"Mm."
"I agree as well."
"Good! Let's withdraw! Furthermore, we must immediately contact the Children of Wind on the surface and have them quickly send people to investigate the progress of the God War."
"That's exactly what we should do."
"."
This war between the five races had already lasted nearly fifteen sunrises and sunsets, which was quite a long time.
The war among the divine beings' people had temporarily come to an end, but the God War, fought somewhere unknown, had an uncertain outcome.
In the end, the victory or defeat of this era ultimately depended on the outcome of the gods' battles.
After all, the power of gods was almost insurmountable for mortals.
What was the use of killing so many of the opponent's divine kin? If their god won the God War and intended to slaughter these mortals, wouldn't that be simple?
Therefore, the four races immediately knew when to stop, and they also immediately began sending people to investigate the progress and outcome of the God War.
