All the human prodigies and powerful experts who had returned to the human cities had temporarily not returned to the Human Realm Domain.
Because Dao One Human King had issued an order: everyone was to obey his unified deployment for the time being and could not leave without permission, so as to deal with the Abyss Race's attack.
At the same time, Dao One Human King immediately arranged for people to merge the Ninth Lord Cities into one.
The nine human cities were usually governed separately, each leading toward a different direction within the Human Realm Domain. But under special circumstances, the nine cities could merge into one.
Once the nine cities merged, the human cities' defensive power would become stronger, and the power of all nine cities could be combined instead of remaining dispersed.
That was the advantage.
But the disadvantage was that returning to the Human Realm Domain would only lead to a single region, and it would no longer be suitable for large-scale teleportation. That was a drawback, but it would also make the human cities and the Human Realm Domain safer.
At this time, some experts were helping merge the nine cities, while others were repairing the small Primordial Tower.
Both processes required quite a bit of time.
Although everyone was anxious, they could only wait patiently.
Su Mo was also quite anxious within the human city. Around him had gathered several people from the Peerless Divine Gate, as well as Vana, Xiao Ling, and several Primordial Divine Mountain prodigies. They had all gone to the Boundless Sky Abyss and returned together earlier, and every one of them wore a grave expression.
After pondering for a moment, Su Mo was about to seek out Dao One Human King when the latter came to find him first.
