"Early July, Year 380 of the Eternal Night Calendar."
"Domain Lord Chen, you have a grand vision!"
West Pass Plains.
Inside the Slaying Immortal Holy Land, after receiving a reply from the Mortal Domain, the Holy Lord's anxiety of the past seven days finally dissipated like a gentle breeze. Satisfied, he leisurely brewed himself a pot of hot tea.
Mortal Domain accepted his Apology.
That concludes the discussion.
There are no further conflicts between the two sides.
All past grievances are wiped clean.
"Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures belong to those who are destined to possess them."
The Holy Lord of the Immortal Slaughtering Slaying Immortal Holy Land chuckled and took a sip of his tea, "Domain Lord Chen's thoughts coincide with mine."
"Indeed," the First Elder the Immortal Slaying Immortal Holy Land said quietly. "Back then, you also had this idea when you plotted to seize the 'Snow Lotus' left behind by that That One on the Jiangbei Nameless Mountain, but in the end, it fell into the hands of the Mortal Domain."
He's more destined for me than I am.
"You witnessed what happened seven days ago. I am quite wary of the Mortal Domain. Reconciliation is naturally the best course of action."
"To be extremely wary is to be purely afraid."
"Nonsense, who isn't afraid?"
The Holy Lord rolled his eyes at the First Elder: "If you're not afraid, I'll hand over my position as Holy Lord to you. Now, you can lead the Immortal Slaying Immortal Holy Land to fight in the Mortal Domain." The First Elder silently shut his mouth; he was 11 parts wary, even more so than the Holy Lord.
After returning to the Mortal Domain, Chen Fan was somewhat tired after several days of travel, so he went to bed early without delay.
Until dawn the next day.
Full of energy, Chen Fan finished washing up and stood in the room, looking at the Calendar hanging on the wall, and stretched contentedly.
There's nothing to worry about anymore.
In this life, happiness doesn't necessarily come from having a fortune. As long as you have nothing weighing on your mind, you are happy.
"March 20th, Eternal Night Calendar Year 380."
It's almost April.
Chen Fan muttered a few words, planning to complete the laying of High-Speed Rail Tracks and Signal Towers in the West Pass Plains before the beginning of May. The West Pass Plains is quite large, and laying them will be quite laborious.
I wonder how Shao Qiu's exploration is going.
As he walked onto the City Wall.
Wang Kui began his report as usual; currently, all reporting tasks within the Mortal Domain are handled by Wang Kui.
"Domain Lord."
"The Mortal Domain originally Eerie-Stone Reserves, which was quite substantial. However, in the battle to destroy the 'Hate Heaven Sect,' 100 million Eerie Stones were used to build 100 Flying Boat, leaving only about 100 million Eerie Stones."
"However, these days the supply of Eerie Stones mined from the New Continent has been steadily increasing, and the Eerie Stone Eerie-Stone Reserves in the Mortal Domain have risen to 140 million." "Hmm."
Chen Fan nodded slightly. Although the battle to destroy the Hate Heaven Sect had consumed a lot of resources, this battle was necessary. Moreover, those hundred Flying Boats were still within the Mortal Domain and were not disposable structures.
He stood on the City Wall of Cave One.
Looking beyond the Canyon, one sees the faintly visible "Northbank Defense Line" Suppression the Jiangbei Coast beyond the Nameless Mountains. Now, the 170-kilometer Northbank Defense Line has been completed.
But
This Northbank Defense Line is just an empty shell.
City Wall without any City Defenses or logistical structures like Cannon Tower is a city with only defensive capabilities and no offensive capabilities. A City Wall that cannot fight back will eventually be worn down by the Strange Tide.
We need to gather another batch of Eerie Stones to completely fill the Northbank Defense Line.
There are still two and a half years until the Undersea Strange Tide Landing.
Two more Rainy Seasons are needed, and when the next Rainy Season arrives, endless, Strange Tides will land on the Jiangbei, and a thick black fog will blanket the Jiangbei.
If we were to call this Undersea Strange Tide Landing an exam paper...
Two and a half years later.
The Mortal Domain will then write a sufficiently satisfactory answer on this test.
"They're gone."
After listening to Wang Kui's report, Chen Fan, along with Weiwei and two other Mortal Domain Member, embarked on their journey. For the next period of time, the Mortal Domain's plan was to build High-Speed Rail and Signal Towers in the "West Pass Plains".
I need to leave the Mortal Domain for a while.
Before leaving.
He then went to check on the more than one hundred "Sky-Piercing Pillars " at the Harbor. If the Sky-Piercing Pillars were fully charged, he wouldn't need to send out Flying Boats to destroy the "Hate Heaven Sect" this time; he could simply activate the Cannon Tower.
Once these hundred-plus Sky-Piercing Pillars have fully stored their energy, they will become another treasure of the Mortal Domain.
"No."
Standing before the Sky-Piercing Pillar, Chen Fan touched the Heavenly Dao Stone in his arms, feeling a little itchy.
He recently acquired a Heavenly Dao Stone, which can be used on Max-Level Buildings to grant a "Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect, such as the damage overflow of the Godslayer Cannon.
I haven't used it these days.
He was reluctant to use it, and hadn't decided which Max-Level Building in the Mortal Domain he would use it on, but now he had to use it. If it turned out to be a development-type "Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect, the later he obtained it, the more he would lose.
Only the Sky-Piercing Pillar is not suitable.
It will take two and a half years for the Sky-Piercing Pillar to fully store energy. Even if it obtains a good Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect, it is equivalent to leaving a Heavenly Dao Stone to take effect only after two and a half years.
It's stretched too long.
The Mortal Domain currently has 11 Max-Level Buildings. Apart from the Sky-Piercing Pillar, the remaining 10 Max-Level Buildings are as follows:
"Godslayer Cannon", "Farmland", "Ground Spikes", "Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion", "Life Workshop", "Soul-Devouring Sculpture", "Gondola", "Bridge", "Eerie Fire", "Anti-Aircraft Cannon".
The Godslayer Cannon has already used the Heavenly Dao Stone.
A second one cannot be used.
Farmland, Ground Spikes, and Bridges— Max-Level Building the quota and are at max level—are definitely the lowest priority.
Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion.
No.
In the massive battlefields where the Strange Tides are raging, Cultivators can play an extremely insignificant role.
Finally, he had to choose between the two Max-Level Buildings: the Eerie Fire and the Gondola.
Eerie Fire, perhaps.
This is the most core building in the Mortal Domain, and it can be said to be the support for all other buildings. Currently, the Core Eerie Fire of the Mortal Domain has already been protected by him with layers of defense, making it the most heavily guarded building. He has even placed several Decoy Eerie Fires around it, pretending to be the Core Eerie Fire of the Mortal Domain.
In this way, even if someone infiltrates the Mortal Domain, they can only destroy the fake Eerie Fire in the Mortal Domain.
Furthermore, he also created two Backup Level-Nine Eerie Fires within the Nameless Mountain.
These two Eerie Fire are also connected to various buildings via Copper Pipes. They are not activated under normal circumstances, and no Eerie Fire flow from the Copper Pipes. However, in the event of an emergency, if the Core Eerie Fire in the Mortal Domain is destroyed, these two Eerie Fire will activate instantly and take on the role of maintaining the buildings in the Mortal Domain. This will prevent the buildings in the Mortal Domain from becoming ineffective due to the destruction of the Core Eerie Fire.
However, the "Qualitative Transformation upgrade direction" that the Core Eerie Fire originally possessed was gone.
The next moment
He grabbed a handful of Withered Grass from the ground and threw it into the air.
A phantom image of a building Eerie Fire slowly emerged in the air and quickly landed on the ground.
He threw the Heavenly Dao Stone in his hand up there.
Once the Heavenly Dao takes effect.
It will then take effect on all buildings of the same type under the Camp's name. After that, any Eerie Fire within the Camp's area will have this Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect, without needing to make a special trip back to Nameless Mountain.
Soon.
A panel appeared in front of me.
"You used the 'Heavenly Dao Stone' on the Eerie Fire, gaining three Heavenly Dao Blessing Effects. Please choose one within one hundred breaths."
"A building can only have one Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect."
"1: Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (Constant Trickle): The Eerie Fire will absorb the energy of the Eternal Night, condensing into a thousand Eerie Stones every day (only effective for one Eerie Fire)."
"2: Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (Try Again): When upgrading any building in the Camp, if the Qualitative Transformation direction randomly changes to a qualitative leap, you will have one chance to re-select. The re-selection will not change the grade of the Qualitative Transformation upgrade direction, but it will randomly change the Qualitative Transformation upgrade direction."
"3: Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (Lord Over All Nations): The Eerie Fires created and placed within the Camp will no longer require rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for each upgrade; only Eerie Stones will suffice."
After staring blankly at the three "Heavenly Dao Blessing Effects " on the panel in front of him for a long time, Chen Fan suddenly grinned and stared intently at the third Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect, "Lord Over All Nations," unable to look away.
Without the slightest hesitation, he chose the third option.
To Lord Over All Nations.
This Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect allows him to create Level-Ten Eerie Fire without consuming any rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, only Eerie Stones. This means that once King Mazi has finished exploring the continent and created Ghosthide Map of the entire New Continent, he can begin to spread General Strange Fire throughout the entire New Continent.
Receive that special reward of "Heavenly Dominion".
The more difficult the task.
The bigger the reward.
He considered covering an entire continent with Eerie Fire to be quite difficult.
Normally, this would only be possible if the war were over and humanity had completely won. He took a shortcut.
He completed this special mission and obtained this reward in a New Continent had already been defeated, which meant that he obtained a reward that should have been obtained much later in the game ahead of time.
His biggest regret in life was that he never had what he wanted when he was young.
In his past life, when he was young, he wanted a model car, just a few dozen yuan, but he couldn't afford it. Every Christmas when he was little, he hoped that Santa Claus would descend from the sky and give him a model car.
He never looked forward to his birthday.
He was an orphan, he had been since childhood.
No parents.
It was more likely that Santa Claus would suddenly appear and give him a Christmas present than his parents would suddenly fall from the sky and give him one. But this wish remained unfulfilled throughout his adolescence.
Later, when he grew up, he even played with model cars, but he still missed the model cars he never had as a child. Many times, he thought that if he could give his younger self 1,000 yuan with his current wealth, he wouldn't have to give him too much.
My little self would definitely be so happy that I couldn't sleep all night.
A person's life.
As long as you survive, you'll gradually acquire everything, but the timing is no longer right, and the feeling after you get it is different.
The "Heavenly Dominion" Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect, allowed him to obtain a reward that he should have received much later in the game, several years in advance, which naturally made him happy.
"Good."
Chen Fan laughed, looking at the Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect that was now fixed on the Eerie Fire, as if he could see himself regaining the car model he had longed for in his youth but never obtained.
"Walk!"
He strode toward the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot beside him, intending to first lay High-Speed Rail Lines on the West Pass Plains. Once King Mazi had drawn up the Ghosthide Map of the New Continent, they could begin planning this project.
The dragon-horse neighed.
The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, departed from the Harbor.
It roared once more across the Jiangbei Wasteland, heading straight towards Jiangnan.
The Mortal Domain officially began its southward march.
Two days later.
Chen Fan has arrived at Soaring City, the southernmost City in Jiangnan. He spent some time by the Great River and then went to the mountaintop to enjoy the scenery of Jiangbei.
There's no rush at the moment.
He stopped whenever he saw a scenic spot while passing by.
There are no cameras in this world.
Only the Image Recording Stone.
The image quality of the Image Recording Stone is not high, and it cannot record the scene you see in a one-to-one ratio. It will be rather blurry, which also means that in this world, you will never see any scenery again.
That's exactly right.
Those landscapes untouched by the Strange Entities are all the more precious.
When a phantom image of Copper Pipe composed of white lines landed on the ground outside Soaring City and quickly solidified and disappeared into the ground, the work began. The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot traveled ahead, heading towards the "West Pass Plains".
Behind them, Copper Pipes continued to sink into the ground and solidify.
Three days later.
The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot had entered the West Pass Plains, attracting crowds wherever it went. They didn't recognize the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot or know whose carriage it was, but they clearly remembered the flag fluttering above Dragon Chariot these past few days.
No one stopped them.
Even though the Mortal Domain had already laid the Copper Pipes within their territory.
On the City Walls of a small City consisting of Level-3 City Walls, the Family Head of the Little Grass Wang Family looked with a complicated expression at the rapidly receding Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and the Dragon Chariot Copper Pipes that were constantly forming and disappearing into the ground behind it.
He knew that this was the Mortal Domain laying High-Speed Rail Lines.
Only.
They were Builder Family, and they usually took on many building projects. He had never seen anyone build a building so quickly, and... from the moment the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot entered his sight until it disappeared, he had never seen it fail to be built.
The Eerie Fire is considered the most basic type of building.
No Builder would say they couldn't create Eerie Fire.
Even with the Eerie Fire technique, creating so many at once would inevitably result in some failures.
Just like writing.
Writing from 1 to 10 is extremely simple.
But writing from 1 to 1000 without a single mistake is something nine out of one hundred people couldn't do, even though it sounds so simple. Humans are error-prone creatures; how could anyone possibly achieve zero errors throughout the entire process?
This is illogical.
The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, carrying the Mortal Domain Banner, recklessly laid out High-Speed Rail network West Pass Plains, yet no one dared to obstruct it, much less attempt to sabotage it, especially when the High-Speed Rail network approached their own territory.
These forces would spontaneously organize people to guard the lines out of fear, for fear that someone would sabotage them.
What if they get blamed for this if it gets damaged?
After all, this High-Speed Rail Line is within their sphere of influence.
These days are enough to create Image Recording Stone of the scene from that day at the Hate Heaven Sect and spread it throughout the entire West Pass Plains. Any force that witnessed this scene would not want to offend the Mortal Domain, unless they are really out of their mind.
Until.
Time slowly ticked by until the end of May.
I was busy from late March until the end of May.
For the past month and a half, Chen Fan hasn't returned to Mortal Domain once; he's been laying his High-Speed Rail Lines and Signal Towers on the West Pass Plains.
"Call."
Chen Fan stepped down from the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, wearily patting his shoulder. He was almost dazed, so exhausted he could barely breathe. This place was called "Wraith-Suppressing Pass".
That is, the junction of the "West Pass Plains" and the "Guandong Plains".
He looked back at the West Pass Plains, and although he was somewhat tired, he still smiled with satisfaction.
The results are very good.
The basic structure of the West Pass Plains High-Speed Rail Line has been completed. The Logistics Pavilion has been carrying out some repairs and supplements in the rear. In a few days, the West Pass Plains High-Speed Rail will be officially opened to traffic.
Then.
He looked up at the ruins of the defensive line not far in front of him. This place had a defensive line in the Ancient Battlefield, separating the "West Pass Plains" and the "Guandong Plains", and was also called the Wraith-Suppressing Pass.
Of course, it is now completely abandoned.
The ruins were lined with vendors and Inns.
"Sir."
A Xiao Er rushed over with an expectant look on his face. "Sir, you have an extraordinary air about you. Have you come here specifically to Strange-Watching Fights?"
Chen Fan waved his hand without saying anything more. The Mortal Domain Member following behind immediately understood and stepped forward expressionlessly, standing in Ermian to stop him from continuing the conversation.
"Defense Line Seven"
He stood there, his gaze passing over the "Wraith-Suppressing Pass" and looking further south towards the Guandong Plains, muttering to himself in a daze.
He had already received the message sent back by someone from Shao Qiu.
The Guandong Plains nearly collapsed during the last Rainy Season. It was only thanks to the "Eternal Night Hall" that people were sent to almost completely clear the Strange Tides from the Guandong Plains using some special means. By dawn the next day, they had spared no expense in urgently repairing the Defense Line Seven, thus ensuring the Guandong Plains did not fall completely. But...
Because the area is in a semi-occupied state, some of the Strange Entities can move freely in the Guandong Plains during the day.
This gave rise to the entertainment activity of Strange-Watching Fights.
If the Guandong Plains falls, then all the Strange Entities that set foot on the Guandong Plains will be able to roam freely during the day.
He is very concerned about the Defense Line Seven.
After all
Defense Line Seven not only protects the Guandong Plains, but also his Rear Base Jiangbei. If Defense Line Seven were to fall completely, there would be no defense line Guandong Plains and the area north of the Yangtze Jiangbei. Large numbers of Strange Tides would then rush northwards without restraint, surging into the Jiangbei.
According to Shao Qiu's information.
The battle at the Eternal Night Hall is very intense, and they are no longer able to provide reinforcements to the Defense Line Seven. If the Defense Line Seven is breached again during this Rainy Season, then... it may truly be completely lost.
So he has another plan for the second half of the year.
That is to spread "High-Speed Rail Lines " and "Signal Towers " Guandong Plains, so that if anything happens, he can know immediately, and he won't be in Jiangbei unaware of anything while the Guandong Plains has fallen.
It wasn't until the Strange Tide surged out from Jiangnan that they realized Eastern Pass had fallen.
The Kansai has a stronger presence.
Furthermore, there is no threat of Strange Tide, so laying High-Speed Rail Lines requires killing chickens.
But things are much simpler in the Guandong Plains. When the Defense Line Seven fell last time, less than three-tenths of the population remained. Most of the remaining population fled, and those who didn't join the Defense Line Seven.
Nobody paid any attention to him.
He could act with impunity on the Guandong Plains.
Chen Fan looked down at the Ghosthide Map in his hand.
The northernmost section of Jiangbei stretches for thousands of kilometers to the southernmost point of the Guandong Plains.
To the West of Jiangbei lies Jiangxi.
Jiangxi is connected to the Guandong Plains. From Jiangxi to the Guandong Plains, the West Coastline of thousands of kilometers is protected by natural continuous mountain ranges, requiring no defense.
This area belongs to them.
This area, encompassing the Jiangbei Plain, the West Pass Plains, and the Guandong Plains, is a relatively large Qidian on the outermost edge of the "Eternal Night Continent," bordered by the sea on three sides.
Normally, mountains could not stop the Strange Tides, but the "nodes" in those areas were not broken, so the Strange Tides could not land there. The nodes in Jiangbei and Guandong Plains, on the other hand, were completely broken.
The Strange Tide can only attack their area from these two directions.
In other words
All he needs to do is build a solid Northbank Defense Line and provide support to the Defense Line Seven at critical moments to ensure absolute safety.
As for the east side?
That is, the West Pass Plains?
That area is the Trusted Aide of the Eternal Night Continent. If a Strange Tide were to come from there, it would mean that the entire Eternal Night Continent had completely fallen, leaving only their small outcrop to hold out. What would they be defending then? They would surely die.
Saying it's just small bumps isn't quite accurate.
It's as if their protrusion represents Xiao Yi percentage of the Eternal Night Continent. Their area isn't located in the Trusted Aide of the Eternal Night Continent; it's on the periphery. He doesn't know exactly how much of the Eternal Night Continent it represents.
But it should be roughly the size of a turtle's head.
A turtle's head surrounded by the sea on three sides.
"Eastern Pass... Kansai."
Chen Fan shifted his gaze to the ruins, looking at them not far away and muttering to himself. He didn't really understand why they were called the Guandong Plains and the West Pass Plains.
Because, from a geographical perspective...
If we take "Wraith-Suppressing Pass" as the dividing line...
They should be called the "Northern Guan Plain" and the "Southern Guan Plain".
The Xiao Er, who was blocked in front of a burly man, chuckled awkwardly. But when his gaze fell on the flag fluttering on the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, he suddenly froze on the spot, a look of horror and panic flashing in his eyes.
"The Mortal Domain?"
The sound wasn't loud.
But the surroundings fell silent instantly. Many people instinctively looked over, and when they saw the flag fluttering in the air, they froze on the spot, not even daring to breathe.
Even though they are located at the southernmost tip of the West Pass Plains.
But.
They had long heard of the Mortal Domain.
After all, the news that "Hate Heaven Sect," one of the largest forces in the West Pass Plains, was instantly wiped out in a near-crushing manner became a topic of conversation almost immediately, spreading not only among the major forces but also among the common people.
Chen Fan glanced around, secretly wishing to stay at the Inn for the night, have some hot food, and rest. However, he turned back to the Horse-Drawn Carriage, and the Mortal Domain Member, sitting in the driver's seat, flicked the whip. The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot carriage, in front of everyone, passed through the ruins and headed straight for the depths of the Guandong Plains. They pressed on with one breath.
After you're done, go back to the Mortal Domain and rest.
Originally, laying High-Speed Rail Lines in the Guandong Plains was a low priority in his plan. He couldn't take on such a huge task at once, and if something went wrong, the Mortal Domain wouldn't have time to deal with it.
But Shao Qiu sent back a message saying that there were hardly any people Guandong Plains.
That's fine then.
They completed the High-Speed Rail Line Guandong Plains in one go, and then returned to the Mortal Domain to rest.
As the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot entered the Guandong Plains, Chen Fan laid out Copper Pipes while lifting the curtain of the Horse-Drawn Carriage to look outside. His brows furrowed slightly. In the West Pass Plains, he could see Farmland everywhere, planted with a large number of Crops.
But they can no longer be seen on the Guandong Plains.
According to his prior knowledge, the Guandong Plains was a more fertile region than the West Pass Plains.
At this moment, looking around...
Countless Gray Fog, of unknown origin, drifted in the air, floating like deathly mist over the entire Guandong Plains. The Farmland on the ground also showed faint signs of decay, having been completely destroyed by the Strange Tide.
Just then.
The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot passed by a City.
At this time, the City Walls had been reduced to ruins, and no one was seen entering or leaving. It had become a dead city, with the stench of rotting corpses filling the air. No one was cleaning up the mess, and no one was clearing away the bodies in the City. It was no longer a habitable City.
Large numbers of vultures circled over the City.
It emitted bursts of ear-piercing sounds.
Just then
His pupils contracted slightly as a Strange Entities rushed out of the City and stumbled toward him, looking extremely weak. At that speed, it was impossible for it to catch up with the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot. Although he already knew about this, this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
The reason why the Eternal Night Continent has been able to persist for so long is...
A major reason for this is that the Strange Entities can only appear after the Eternal Nightfall, giving people a whole Daytime to rest, heal, and repair their defenses.
If the Strange Entities could appear even in broad daylight.
The Eternal Night Continent won't last more than three days.
Destiny is inevitable.
The relentless, Strange Tides surged ever higher than the defensive lines, and no line could withstand such intense, tidal waves of attacks. The Nine-Five Dragon Chariot continued its journey deeper into the Guandong Plains.
The High-Speed Rail network is being continuously expanded, and Signal Towers are being installed.
Until
When the time comes.
The Eternal Night and fierce, at the beginning of the seventh month.
Under the scorching sun, Chen Fan personally witnessed the "Defense Line Seven".
He stepped down from the Horse-Drawn Carriage.
With a solemn expression, he gazed at the "Defense Line Seven" in the distance, which seemed to stretch endlessly to the Heaven and Earth. The uniform Level-6 City Walls, standing 30 meters high, exuded an extremely oppressive aura simply by standing there.
In Primordial Era.
The Northbank Defense Line was only Level-4 City Wall.
His current Northbank Defense Line is only Level-5 City Wall.
This is level 6.
If City Wall of this caliber Suppression Jiangbei of the Yangtze River, the Jiangbei would be completely safe. This also shows that the pressure faced by the Guandong Plains is greater than that faced by the Jiangbei. One can only imagine the magnitude of the Strange Tide that could break through a defensive line of this size.
He had never seen it with his own eyes.
But.
It's easy to imagine.
But he knew that wasn't enough, not even Level-10 City Wall. When the Eternal Night Continent faced its final battle, even Tenth-Level Defense Line wouldn't be enough to protect the entire Eternal Night Continent.
The defensive lines in the New Continent were all Level-10 City Walls.
But they were also completely overwhelmed by the Strange Tide.
It even forced the Heavenly Dao of the New Continent to self-destruct and perish together with the enemy.
This is why he works almost non-stop; he doesn't have much time left. He must develop as much as possible during this period, to reach a sufficient height, because he won't have that much time left later.
"Domain Lord!"
Shao Qiu suddenly appeared beside him, looking at Chen Fan with some excitement. "You're here! I'll go find the person in charge of 'Defense Line Seven' and have him receive you. I haven't told them my real identity yet."
We haven't seen each other for half a year.
Shao Qiu looked much more weathered and older than before.
They even grew beards.
It's like he's become a completely different person.
"It's gone."
Standing beside the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, Chen Fan looked into the distance at the "Defense Line Seven." He could vaguely see many people walking back and forth along the Defense Line Seven. He had never seen so many people on his journey.
He shook his head slightly.
"You don't need to tell them your real identity, just come with me."
Shao Qiu paused for a moment, then hesitated as he looked back at the Defense Line Seven. He nodded and quickly contacted the other members of the Shadow Pavilion. He hadn't said goodbye to his friends yet; he had made quite a few friends these days.
Oh well, we'll have a chance to meet again sometime.
Chen Fan turned around and returned to the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot, preparing to head back.
He knew the importance of Defense Line Seven.
However, he did not want to contact the person in charge of the Defense Line Seven of Defense; it was not the right time yet.
He's not strong enough right now.
If you get too close, you could easily be used as a blood transfusion by the Eternal Night Hall.
He can Suppression the Jiangbei.
It could even support the Guandong Plains, and contribute its own strength to the entire Eternal Night Continent.
But as for blood packs, I'd rather not.
After the members of the Shadow Pavilion gathered, the Nine-Five Dragon Chariot began to speed towards the West Pass Plains, preparing to go home. He had been away for far too long.
"The Eternal Night Calendar Year 380, the beginning of the seventh month."
The tracks of the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail have been successfully laid in every corner of the "West Pass Plains" and the "Guandong Plains".
At this point
The influence of the Mortal Domain was expanded once again.
Defense Line Seven.
The Middle-Aged Man whose lower body had been severed at the waist sat at the dining table, looking at the two meals on his table. He didn't touch his chopsticks and remained silent for a long time. After some time, the number of people around him gradually decreased.
The mealtime has passed.
Shao Qiu was still nowhere to be seen.
He then picked up his chopsticks and began to slowly eat his portion of food.
On weekdays.
That guy would usually have dinner with him before nightfall, but he didn't come today. And he had just learned that the group of people who came with that guy had also disappeared, so he understood that they were gone.
The pressure brought by the Strange Tides of the past six months has been almost unbearable for that guy.
Especially with the Rainy Season approaching this year.
The pressure weighing on everyone's hearts was suffocating for many, and it was quite normal for many to run away every day, especially since that guy wasn't from Eastern Pass, so it was perfectly understandable that he ran away.
But for some reason, the food today didn't taste as good as usual.
"Hey, Uncle Liu."
A young man approached the table, unceremoniously picked up the unclaimed food, and began shoveling it into his mouth. "Since that guy ran away, I'll eat this. I wasn't full anyway, so another serving will be just right."
The Middle-Aged Man didn't speak, but just kept his head down and ate his food.
"Uncle Liu, have you noticed something amazing? All the disabled people on Defense Line Seven who were infected by the Strange Entities and had their bodies amputated only have their upper bodies. I don't think I've ever seen one with only their lower body. Isn't that amazing?"
The young man looked at Uncle Liu with a serious expression, his mouth full of food, and mumbled incoherently.
The Middle-Aged Man made a move, raising his head to stare expressionlessly at the young man, and said, "Do you think you're funny?"
"Cough"
The young man awkwardly put down his chopsticks and bowl. "I just saw you seemed a little sad, Uncle Liu, so I came to cheer you up. I'm not leaving; I'll definitely Suppression Defense Line Seven with you."
You can leave.
I'm really not leaving.
"You really should leave. You're still young. It would be a shame to die on Defense Line Seven. You should go to the heart of the Eternal Night Continent; it'll be much safer there." "But if everyone goes to the heart of the continent, who will guard the Frontline?"
That's not your concern.
"I care. My family and friends all died in Eastern Pass, so of course I care about this place. I'd rather die in Eastern Pass."
The Middle-Aged Man didn't speak again, only staring blankly at the darkness rapidly engulfing the Eerie Fire from afar. After a long while, he murmured, "Really... if you're going to leave, at least say goodbye before you go, so I could give you some travel money."
The faint roars of countless Strange Entities could be heard in my ears.
That was when the Strange Tide began to continue its assault outside the Defense Line Seven.
Another night of fighting has begun.
"I'm going first. Today I'm in charge of replenishing the Eerie Stone for the seven sections and ten Cannon Tower." As Eternal Nightfall, the young man on the other side quickly shoved the last two mouthfuls of rice from his bowl into his mouth.
He ran quickly into the distance, his words muffled and unclear.
They quickly disappeared into the crowd.
They've vanished without a trace.
This person's role in the Defense Line Seven is practically negligible.
But the Defense Line Seven, Suppression the Guandong Plains, was composed of countless such seemingly insignificant people, making it extremely solid and unyielding. Early July, Eternal Night Calendar Year 380.
It was the height of summer.
Chen Fan returned to the Mortal Domain and lay down on the bed in the wooden cabin of Wooden Hut Cave One. There were some ice cubes in a Porcelain Crock next to him to cool him down, and the Maid beside him kept patting his back to relieve his fatigue.
The Rainy Season is only a few months away.
Lying on the bed, Chen Fan turned his head to look at the Eternal Night Calendar hanging on the wall. After this Rainy Season, there will only be two full years left before the Undersea Strange Tide Landing.
I've been busy for months.
All the High-Speed Rail Tracks have finally been laid.
These days.
The existence of the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail has also changed the power structure of the West Pass Plains. The most significant change is that the pattern of constant warfare between various forces in the West Pass Plains over the past century has been broken. As the sales of the Skeleton Horse declined, the entire West Pass Plains gradually became more Peace.
"Domain Lord."
Just then, the Maid was kneeling on the bed massaging his back suddenly whispered, "While you were away these past few months, it seems that Pavilion Master King's power has become a bit too great."
Chen Fan, who was lost in thought, suddenly paused for a moment, quickly grabbed the Jadeite Staff beside him, got up from the bed, Clothing, and looked at the unfamiliar Maid in front of him. It was not the one he used to know. He stopped massaging her back and strode out of the Wooden Hut.
He took out Message Talisman and contacted Little Qiu.
"Little Qiu, investigate my background as Maid. How did I enter the Mortal Domain? Who arranged for me to be here? How did I become my personal Maid?" Currently, the logistics department is responsible for recruiting people in the Mortal Domain Logistics Pavilion.
That's really strange.
It's normal for a few people to infiltrate when you have a lot of influence, and it's also normal for them to sow discord, but... shouldn't you at least have a few casual words with them, and then casually bring it up?
For example, he might say that Wang Kui seemed a bit happy during the time he was away, or that Wang Kui often secretly went to check on the vicinity of the Mortal Domain Core's Eerie Fire when he was not around.
Plant a seed in his heart?
Wouldn't that be more effective? No divisive tactic works immediately; it's all about planting a seed first, and only when the seed sprouts will it bear fruit.
Playing straight shot, huh?
Isn't that a bit too straightforward?
What kind of nonsense is this?
He stretched his body, boarded the High-Speed Rail, left the Nameless Mountain, and headed towards the "Northbank Defense Line".
Soon.
Chen Fan stood on the City Wall of the Northbank Defense Line, gazing at the Dead Sea. Waves crashed against the rocks, splashing up bursts of spray, and the smell of fish was pungent. The matter of finding people could be left to the Logistics Pavilion.
These past few months.
Mortal Domain accumulated a considerable amount of Eerie Stones, he could finally complete the Defensive Structures along the Northbank Defense Line.
As for that Maid... even if she was sent by some powerful force, that force must not be a strong one to be able to send someone like that. At least they are very bad at recognizing people. The price they paid to place someone in such a core position as their personal Maid must have been considerable, yet she turned out to be clumsy in her work.
The sea in front of us is called the Dead Sea.
He still doesn't know why this sea was named the Dead Sea. There doesn't seem to be any particular story behind it; it's simply because a lot of people died there, hence the Dead Sea.
He shook his head.
After shaking off the jumbled thoughts in my head, I rode in Gondola placed on the City Wall track and quickly arrived at the end of the "Northbank Defense Line," where I saw that familiar Skeleton Horse.
Only then did they begin constructing the Defensive Structure from scratch.
Godslayer Cannon, Copper Pipe, Anti-Assault Cannon, Soul-Devouring Sculpture, Eerie Fire, etc.
Buildings were being constructed rapidly and continuously.
Until Tianmo.
Chen Fan stopped construction; it wasn't fully finished and was expected to take several more days. This was much more troublesome than building Copper Pipes. He then descended the City Wall of the Northbank Defense Line and took the High-Speed Rail back to Nameless Mountain.
They had just entered Cave One.
He then ran into Little Qiu was coming from the opposite direction.
"Domain Lord, the investigation is complete."
Which faction do you belong to?
As Chen Fan walked towards his Wooden Hut, he said casually.
"She doesn't come from the Ren Kang family's power, has never joined the Ren Kang faction before, and hasn't accepted any bribes. After our interrogation and verification, it turns out she simply wants to rise in rank... It seems you, Domain Lord, haven't found a woman you like yet."
Chen Fan sighed softly and waved his hand, "Go down."
What kind of mess is this?
He returned to the Wooden Hut, still Clothing, and lay sprawled on the bed. He was exhausted and needed to rest.
Having just finished building the High-Speed Rail, they immediately began constructing the Northbank Defense Line.
That's not how you use livestock.
He felt more tired than the unofficial members of the Mortal Domain in the New Continent.
Kaitian refused to work anymore, no matter what.
Let's rest for a day first.
