The Holy Lord of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land remained silent and expressionless for a long time.

The First Elder then changed the subject, asking a question with a hint of doubt.

"Holy Lord."

"Do you know who That One person is? Why could they suppress the Northbank Undersea Strange Tide for nearly 200 years with just a trace of their aura? If I remember correctly, that That One has been gone for almost 200 years, hasn't they?"

The Strange Tide Undersea Strange Tide are not on the same level as those on land.

Speaking of scale alone.

Those are all differences between the sun and the moon.

The overwhelming, Strange Tide was suppressed at the Seabed for nearly 200 years by a wisp of lingering energy; its power was truly terrifying.

"I don't know the specifics."

The Holy Lord of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land shook his head, frowning slightly. "Even with my unique information channels, I can't find any information about that That One. However, one thing is certain: even within the Eternal Night Hall, that That One seems to be unique; there is no second one." "Otherwise, if the Eternal Night Hall had a few more figures like that, would they need to defend? They would have already launched a counterattack."

"Too."

The First Elder nodded thoughtfully, wondering what Cultivation it took to possess such terrifying methods. But he quickly realized something else. "Then I think you, Holy Lord, are even more impressive. You actually dared to plot against the Snow Lotus left behind by That One person."

"What is unclaimed will be taken by the destined one."

"Aren't you afraid that That One will come back and kill you?"

"That shouldn't be the case. That was clearly something he didn't want. I took it, so why would he kill me? Besides, if he really comes back, I'll Apology." "What if Apology doesn't work?"

"Then die. What else can we do?"

The Holy Lord glared at the First Elder with some annoyance. "Who doesn't die? Can you live forever or something? If the purpose of life is absolute safety, then there's no point in doing anything. There's no such thing as absolute safety."

"Alright."

"I'm going to sleep now. Call me if you need anything."

The first Daytime after the Rainy Season began.

After waking up early in the house, Chen Fan walked to the City Wall of Cave One, stretched lazily, and then casually tossed a handful of Withered Grass into the open Open Ground outside the city.

An Eerie Fire building formed by white lines suddenly appeared and quickly solidified.

The moment it solidified, it was quickly transported to the nearby Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail by the Mortal Domain Member were already waiting nearby.

One after another, Eerie Fire continued to form.

Soon.

A high- High-Speed Rail was loaded with cargo, and with a whistle, it began to slowly accelerate and sped along the tracks toward the Harbor. Finally, the High-Speed Rail would travel through Undersea Tunnel to reach the New Continent.

Members of the Mortal Domain Commerce Pavilion from the New Continent then placed the Eerie Fire at their designated locations, according to the points marked by the Logistics Pavilion. Unlit Eerie Fire could be moved freely.

This is his New Continent Blazing Prairie Project, which requires 3.39 billion Eerie Stone to ignite a prairie fire.

It will take a full year before we can even vaguely see the results of this project.

For this project.

When the Rainy Season arrived, many veteran members of the Logistics Pavilion were temporarily reassigned to survey points in the New Continent.

About two hours later.

It's noon.

Chen Fan didn't continue creating the Eerie Fire. Instead, he sat in his Rocking Chair, looked at a plate of plump Dumplings on the table, and smiled.

"Good."

He really likes Dumplings.

Especially in this environment where the Rainy Season has arrived and the temperature has dropped.

He picked up a Dumplings, dipped it in vinegar, and put it in his mouth, savoring the burst of flavor and juice. With great satisfaction, he gazed at the "Northbank Defense Line," which covered a large area outside the Canyon Passage.

Tasty.

Dumplings and my sister-in-law—I can't resist either one.

He simply couldn't resist Dumplings.

He felt that if he were Strange Entities, and the enemy offered him a plate of Dumplings as bait, he would definitely fall for it. Who could resist a plate of freshly cooked, steaming Dumplings?

In the distance.

One could vaguely see many Mortal Domain Member busy moving the corpses of the Strange Entities that died outside the Northbank Defense Line last night into the Mortal Domain, performing a series of Dissection, and then storing them in the warehouse.

The entire process already has a set of rules.

He doesn't need to get involved.

Unlike the first Rainy Season, he no longer needs to personally direct what needs to be done. Now that the Mortal Domain has gradually matured, many small things that he hadn't even thought of will be taken care of for him.

For example.

Mortal Domain Cafeteria.

It can accommodate tens of thousands of people to eat at the same time, although basically not that many people eat at the same time. He didn't even know when this Mortal Domain Cafeteria was built. He only remembered that Wang Kui came to him and said that he wanted to apply to build a Cafeteria.

It was custom-made by workers; although it doesn't have any special effects, it certainly looks extremely grand.

As for the Guandong Plains...

The Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail has suspended operations during the Rainy Season. Several sections of Copper Pipe located in the Guandong Plains and Jiangnan regions have been damaged by Strange Entities, making it impossible for the High-Speed Rail to operate normally. It will need to be repaired after the Rainy Season before it can resume operation.

We are temporarily unable to deliver the Strange Entities's corpse to him.

They can only be delivered after the Rainy Season ends.

That's fine too.

It can produce large waves all at once.

Chen Fan frowned slightly, pondering how to reinforce the Copper Pipe. Every time the Rainy Season came, the Strange Entities would damage his Copper Pipe, which was very annoying. He couldn't very well build a City Wall around both sides of the tracks, as that would be far too expensive.

Currently, there aren't many Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail.

He can still be repaired.

If the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail extends to more areas in the future, no matter how hard he tries to build it, he can't possibly keep up.

If only he could get another Heavenly Dao Stone, perhaps the Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect of the Copper Pipe would have some defensive effect. He thought to himself as he picked up a Dumplings and put it in his mouth again.

"Kindness"

Chen Fan's brows relaxed, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Tasty.

Time passed slowly, and the Mortal Domain did not suffer too much impact during this Rainy Season.

It's not Undersea Strange Tide.

It's not like the Rainy Season has arrived early.

It causes almost no damage to the Mortal Domain. If this level of Rainy Season could pose a danger to the Mortal Domain, then the development of the Mortal Domain over the past few years would have been in vain.

Time slowly passed until the end of the Rainy Season.

New Continent.

The "Blazing Prairie Project here has already made some initial progress.

"Huffing and puffing"

A member of the Mortal Domain's Logistics Pavilion Member stood on the Open Ground, panting as he forcefully planted a Mortal Domain Banner into the ground and secured it before taking out Exotic Treasure from his robes and gazing into the distance.

This is an Exotic Treasure that can measure distances.

It consists of two smaller cylindrical parts, resembling a telescope.

After calculating the distance, he boarded the Flying Boat and quickly arrived at the target location. After comparing it with the Ghosthide Map and confirming that it was correct, he planted a Mortal Domain Banner at the location.

And keep repeating this step.

At a glance.

On the vast Wasteland, one could vaguely see many Flying Boat taking off and landing in the distance. The Logistics Pavilion of the Mortal Domain had been divided into smaller units, with each Mortal Domain Member equipped with a basic Flying Boat to detect distances and plant flags.

The more accurate the detection distance, the fewer Eerie Fire need to be created.

And in the rear.

Dozens of Flying Boat were also scattered, constantly rising and falling in the air.

"There!"

A member of the Commerce Pavilion, standing on the edge of the Flying Boat's deck, pointed to the clearly visible "Mortal Domain Banner" on the ground in the distance, glanced at the nearly one hundred Eerie Fire on the deck behind him, and ordered, "Land there. There aren't any Eerie Fire there yet."

Soon.

The Flying Boat landed near the flag, pulled out the flag and put it into the Flying Boat, and then placed a Level-Ten Strange Fire.

Light the Eerie Fire.

Once the Eerie Fire reaches level 10, its Max-Level Effect is that it requires no Eerie Stone to maintain itself; however, this only sustains the Eerie Fire itself and cannot provide energy for other buildings.

They then quickly left.

The Mortal Domain Banner.

Special Spirit Treasure.

It can be clearly seen from a distance, but only if the weather is good. If the weather is too bad, such as heavy rain, fog, or sandstorm, it will become much blurry.

It's perfect as a landmark.

The entire New Continent was bustling with activity as the massive machine of the Mortal Domain began to operate at full speed.

A large number of Logistics Pavilion Member were constantly probing the distance to the markers ahead.

The members of the Commerce Pavilion then placed the Eerie Fire at the marked locations.

A small number of Logistics Pavilion Member continuously crafted Mortal Domain Banner and other daily necessities in the Rear Base Mortal Domain, and transported them, along with the Eerie Fire created by the Domain Lord, to the New Continent via High-Speed Rail.

In each Ancient Battlefield, there were Temporary Station set up by the Mortal Domain.

Many members outside the official Mortal Domain began to gradually disperse across various Ancient Battlefield, digging up the Eerie Stone and collecting the Ghost Bone.

This is a massive project.

It's simply impossible for one person to accomplish this.

Accompanied by

Logistics Pavilion Member and the Commerce Pavilion gradually ventured deeper into the heart of the New Continent, travel back and forth became less convenient. They no longer needed to return to the New Continent No. 1 Outpost to replenish their Flying Boat, Eerie Stone, flags, Eerie Fire, and so on.

Instead, a new batch of Flying Boat was stationed at the rear to replenish the supplies for the Flying Boat at the Frontline.

And within this month.

Chen Fan made a special trip to the New Continent and built a number of Signal Tower in the New Continent No. 1 Outpost. The Signal Tower were not small, 10 meters high, and Pillar with the same width from top to bottom.

This is a portable building.

King Mazi was responsible for laying Signal Tower in the heart of the New Continent to maintain uninterrupted communication.

This ensures accurate scheduling from the rear.

"Squad 37 of the Commerce Pavilion, there is a vacancy seventeen miles to your northwest. Please proceed to investigate immediately."

"Squad 48 of the Commerce Pavilion, a landmark in the mountains has been missed in your original direction of travel. Please turn back immediately to complete it."

"Logistics Supply Team No. 3 is ready to depart for Areas 1, 3, and 4 to replenish supplies for the logistics Station in these three areas." "Received from rear, recorded. Logistics Marker Team 17 is short of Eerie Stone and needs immediate replenishment."

New Continent No. 1 Outpost. 1

Inside a huge Wooden Hut.

A Sand Table was placed on the table, and dozens of people were gathered around Sand Table. These dozens of people were the dispatch team for the "Spark Starting a Prairie Fire" project, which was coordinated through Message Talisman.

This is the "Heavenly Derivation Sand Table".

An Exotic Treasure located in the Mortal Domain was specially moved to the New Continent for the Blazing Prairie Project.

The effect is very simple.

It can connect multiple "Ghosthide Map" and bring them together on the Sand Table to form a complete Map. After King Mazi explored the entire New Continent over these days, he drew a series of scattered Ghosthide Map and brought them all together on the Sand Table, thus forming a Sand Table with a complete view of the New Continent. And in this area near the Coastline.

Countless Eerie Fire lit up the landscape, and these Eerie Fire, like will-o'-the-wisps, advanced layer by layer into the depths of the New Continent.

The Eerie Fire will only appear on the Ghosthide Map and the Sand Table after it is lit, making it easy to determine if any areas have been missed.

It will be much easier.

You can tell at a glance which area has been missed.

The Crippled Monkey stood solemnly to one side, constantly surveying the area. He was the chief coordinator, responsible for all affairs on the New Continent, and naturally, he was also fully in charge of the "Spark Starting a Prairie Fire" plan.

The Rainy Season is over.

Over the past month.

He watched with his own eyes as the huge Sand Table in front of him went from being dark and colorless at first, to being gradually illuminated, and now a large area of it was lit up.

That was the light from the ignited Eerie Fire.

He couldn't describe the feeling.

Perhaps it was a bit of self-deception, but he sensed a Mortal Domain launching a counterattack and beginning a comprehensive expulsion of the Strange Entities, even though there wasn't a single Strange Entities on the New Continent.

But he believed.

Sooner or later, this scene will happen on the Eternal Night Continent.

When this scene unfolds on the Eternal Night Continent, it will be their moment of victory. He doesn't know when that day will come, but he believes it will come sooner or later.

As a result, the Eerie-Stone Reserves in the Mortal Domain are constantly being depleted.

He didn't really know what the limit was after spreading the General Strange fire across the entire New Continent. He only knew that since the Young Master had entrusted him with this task, he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

An army marches on its stomach.

Logistics has always been crucial, especially with such a long battlefront. Fortunately, the Mortal Domain has Logistics Pavilion.

Logistics Pavilion "Little Qiu".

Qi Chong, the Pavilion Master of the Hundred Grains Pavilion.

These Two Pavilion Masters have now remained in the New Continent and begun directing operations from the ground up. A steady stream of supplies is being transported by numerous Flying Boat to logistics Station deep within the New Continent.

From that Station, supplies are then transported forward.

They couldn't possibly deliver supplies directly from New Continent No. 1 Outpost to the front Frontline; that would take a huge amount of time.

The New Continent is quite large.

Then.

At regular intervals along the New Continent, a logistics Station is set up to ensure the logistical support of all Mortal Domain Member. "Actually Station, this is quite good."

Standing on the City Wall of New Continent No. 1 Outpost, Little Qiu looked at the busy crowd outside and said softly, "Although I don't know what the Domain Lord meant by the upper limit, this is a very good experience."

"The intense pressure has made many newcomers to the Logistics Pavilion more experienced and familiar with the procedures in the Mortal Domain, thus training many newcomers."

"This way, if the Mortal Domain needs to mobilize such a large number of Logistics Pavilion Member in the Eternal Night Continent in the future, the Logistics Pavilion will not panic and will be able to handle it completely."

"Really."

Qi Chong, who was also standing to the side, clicked his tongue and said, "It's also a kind of experience for the Hundred Grains Pavilion."

But he quickly burst out laughing again.

"Little Qiu, you're becoming more and more composed in your speech and actions."

"I have to be calm."

Little Qiu shook his head helplessly. "The Logistics Pavilion has the most members in the Mortal Domain. With so many people to manage and coordinate, it's not about being calm; it's about being so exhausted that you can't even smile."

"You can retire when you're tired."

"You're talking nonsense."

"Little Qiu, you've really changed; you've even started swearing."

"You're the same way. You didn't used to have this air of authority."

"Cough."

Qi Chong coughed lightly, pulled his right hand back from behind his back, and placed the teacup on the Parapet beside him. "When you're out in the world, if you're still as timid and hesitant as before, it will inevitably affect the image of the Mortal Domain."

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore."

"I have to get back to work."

That's all.

Qi Chong picked up his teacup and turned to leave, muttering as he went, "Looks like I'll have to lower the meal allowance for the Logistics Pavilion."

Little Qiu's lips twitched slightly as she turned to look at Qi Chong's departing figure. "Pavilion Master Qi, I was wrong."

What did you say?

Qi Chong turned around and looked at Little Qiu, feigning surprise.

"I said I was wrong, I shouldn't have scolded you just now."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Qi Chong chuckled and waved his hand dismissively, "We're all old brothers who've been through Rainy Season, why would I care about something like this?" "What about the meal allowance?"

"What meal budget? The meal budget is fixed; I wouldn't dare change it. I'm leaving."

He finished speaking.

Qi Chong left with one hand behind his back, chuckling to himself.

Little Qiu couldn't help but laugh after Qi Chong's figure disappeared from sight. She turned around again and stood on the City Wall, looking at the bustling Mortal Domain outside the City Wall.

If only time could stand still at this moment. Although he was busy, there was no danger. He was somewhat afraid of the approaching Strange Tide.

He didn't want to see anyone he knew die when the Strange Tide arrived.

The Rainy Season is coming to an end.

The Guandong Plains.

All the members of the Defense Line Seven looked extremely grim, caught between excitement and unease. With reinforcements arriving, the Defense Line Seven remained intact until the Rainy Season was nearing its end.

They wanted to celebrate, but the Rainy Season wasn't over yet, so they couldn't. The Rainy Season wouldn't be over until tonight.

And that's how this unsightly expression came about.

"Cheer up, everyone!"

As darkness falls, tonight should be the last night of the Rainy Season, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Even if it extends, it will only be for two or three days at most, not much longer.

The Elder Seven appeared much more composed, though a slight smile still lingered in his eyes as he looked at the core members of the Defense Line Seven standing before him. "Even if the Rainy Season doesn't end tonight, there are only two or three nights left."

Everyone needs to be on their best tonight.

"Once this Rainy Season is over, we'll have another year to recover."

"Yes!"

The core members below responded in unison, then dispersed in all directions, spreading out along the 97-kilometer-long Defense Line Seven and returning to their respective areas. After doing all this...

The Elder Seven walked to the City Wall, and alone looked at the Soul-Devouring Sculpture placed at the base of the City Wall and the Altar laid on the City Wall. They let out a long breath and looked into the depths of the Guandong Plains.

He didn't know which faction or region That One man came from.

But.

He was truly grateful for That One gentleman's help.

With these Soul-Devouring Sculpture, no area of Defense Line Seven fell during this Rainy Season.

Most importantly.

The casualties were greatly reduced. The Copper Pipe connected the General Strange fire and the Sword Rain Cannon Tower, which meant that when the Strange Tide came, there would be no need for so many people to risk their lives to go to the City Wall to fill the Cannon Tower with Eerie Stone, and the mortality rate would naturally be greatly reduced.

The Defense Line Seven has hundreds of thousands of personnel.

But actually...

Most of them were homeless refugees, taken in at the Defense Line Seven. Daytime, they were responsible for digging up the Eerie Stone from the corpses of Strange Entities outside the defense line. He looked at the large number of Strange Entities corpses piled up on the Wasteland like a small mountain and murmured, "The Rainy Season is almost over, and the High-Speed Rail should be open soon." He had collected a large number of Strange Entities corpses.

As the weather gets colder, the corpses won't rot, and the rainwater won't cause Strange Entities to swell. Rainwater during the Rainy Season is quite different from ordinary rainwater.

I hope the other person will like it.

Besides.

He looked at the two Exotic Treasure in his arms. One was stone-shaped, rough in appearance, and quite heavy; the kind that no one would care if it were thrown on the ground. The other was just flag-shaped and rather small.

Both of these Exotic Treasure Unopened, and he didn't know their effects. He didn't ask the Appraiser at the Defense Line Seven to open them; instead, he simply kept them.

Last night, a powerful Greater Wraith attacked the Defense Line Seven. Thanks to the Altar, the destroyed sections of the City Wall were quickly repaired, preventing the monster from breaching the defense line.

And successfully killed it.

After the Greater Wraith died, it dropped these two Exotic Treasure.

He planned to give it to That One gentleman as a small return gift. The reason he didn't want to deflower him to see the effect was because he was worried that if he saw the effect, the gentleman wouldn't be willing to give it to him.

It's better not to watch it at all.

Just then

A sudden, intense heat came from his arms.

The Elder Seven's expression changed slightly. He took out a small stone full of holes from his pocket, and after completely enveloping it in his palm, a voice rang in his mind, which only he could hear.

"The Defense Line Seven did not fall during the Rainy Season. What unexpected situation occurred?"

A hoarse male voice.

His voice was devoid of any emotion, and his question was extremely direct.

The Elder Seven hesitated slightly as they looked at the Devouring Sculpture at the foot of the City Wall. This was a message from the Eternal Night Hall. They knew why the Eternal Night Hall would ask this question, because they were too busy to support the Defense Line Seven before the arrival of the Rainy Season.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, they have essentially abandoned the Defense Line Seven.

Or rather...

They may have abandoned the entire Guandong Plains, West Pass Plains, Four Regions of Jiangbei, and even the areas near the Eternal Night Hinterlands. But now that their Defense Line Seven has survived the Rainy Season, the Eternal Night Hall will naturally realize that an unexpected situation has occurred.

"Before the Rainy Season was about to arrive, the Defense Line Seven was fortunate enough to discover several Eerie Ore with considerable yields nearby, which allowed them to survive the Rainy Season." He had originally intended to say that the number of Strange Tide during this Rainy Season was relatively small.

However, he worried that this would affect the Eternal Night Hall's judgment of the overall situation.

They also wanted to say that they received funding from the forces in the West Pass Plains, but it was clear that even if all the forces in the West Pass Plains gave their full support, it would not be enough to hold up a single line of defense.

This would expose That One gentleman.

After careful consideration, he came up with this explanation.

He merely moved his lips slightly without uttering a sound, but the sound traveled through the Parent-Child Stone in his hand to the member of the Eternal Night Hall responsible for contacting him, thousands of miles away.

"Clear."

The other party's Ice-Cold and emotionless voice quickly echoed in his mind, "How is the output of the Eerie Ore? Is it enough to build a 170-kilometer-long Northbank Defense Line in Jiangbei?"

"If there's enough space, the Eternal Night Hall will send as many Builder as possible."

"Not enough."

The Elder Seven shook their heads without the slightest hesitation.

How large of an Eerie Ore would it take to build a defensive line?

Absolutely impossible.

"Receive."

The other party remained completely unmoved, showing no emotion whatsoever whether they learned that Defense Line Seven had not fallen or that the Eerie Ore had been discovered. "The aura That One behind in Jiangbei will dissipate in two years."

"The Eternal Night Hall is no longer able to provide support to Jiangbei."

"The Elder Seven, the leaders of Defense Line Seven, carrying as many Eerie Stone Exotic Treasure as possible, eastward to the 'Yellow Springs Pass Canyon' on the edge of the Eternal Night Continent after the Rainy Season ends this year."

"Abandon Defense Line Seven."

"What!?"

The Elder Seven' faces turned deathly pale instantly. They knew about the Yellow Springs Mouth Region, a region of the Eternal Night Continent near the West Pass Plains. Due to its unique terrain, it almost completely divided the Eternal Night Continent and the West Pass Plains in two, hence the name "Yellow Springs Pass Canyon".

This means...

The Eternal Night Hall has completely abandoned all areas west of the Yellow Springs Pass Canyon.

This includes Four Regions of Jiangbei and two areas Kansai.

"What about the people in the area west of the Yellow Springs Mouth Region?"

"Wait to die."

The other person's voice remained flat, devoid of any chilling intensity, as if calmly narrating an extremely ordinary event. "The Eternal Night Hall's Number Three Front and Number Four Front have fallen one after another during the Rainy Season."

"Countless injuries."

"To reinforce the third and Number Four Front, the Eternal Night Hall spared no expense in urgently establishing two lines of defense behind the lost areas of the third and fourth fronts."

"The Eternal Night Hall is currently facing a severe shortage of resources."

"We can only build one defensive line at the entrance to the 'Yellow Springs Pass Canyon' area. The broken nodes there are smaller, and the defensive line that needs to be built is shorter. Defending one defensive line is easier than defending two."

"Refuse to execute!"

The Elder Seven roared angrily, "How could you abandon so many areas? Do you know how many people will die?!" "At least, at least..."

"At the very least, you should tell everyone to evacuate together."

Even when they heard the Elder Seven's angry curses, the other party did not react at all, but continued to narrate in a calm manner.

"If you have that many Skeleton Horses and enough logistics, you can try to evacuate with everyone."

"Or perhaps you can reinforce the Northbank Defense Line and hold the Defense Line Seven without support."

"How is this possible!" The Elder Seven roared, their emotions more intense than ever before. "The Eternal Night Hall doesn't even have the Eerie Stone to build the Northbank Defense Line anymore?" "No."

Upon hearing the other party utter those three words so calmly, the Elder Seven suddenly calmed down from their agitated emotions. After a long silence, they spoke in a hoarse voice with reddened eyes.

"Knew."

"I will not leave. Not a single person will be evacuated from Defense Line Seven. We will hold Defense Line Seven to the death."

"The Elder Seven are only the Elder Seven at the Defense Line Seven."

"The Elder Seven will only die on Defense Line Seven, not in any other area."

The other party did not respond immediately this time.

After a brief pause, his voice, unusually tinged with emotion, became hoarse as he spoke.

"The Eternal Night will eventually end, Wan Gu as day."

"Respectfully seeing off the Elder Seven to their deaths."

We will win.

The Parent-Child Stone in his palm gradually lost their warmth, and the communication was also disconnected.

The Elder Seven men stood alone on the City Wall, their eyes filled with despair and resentment as they looked down at the tents at the foot of the city. The rain lashed against them, but it did not extinguish the fire in their hearts, only making them feel more and more agitated.

I don't know how much time passed.

Unable to contain his emotions any longer, the Elder Seven roared in near-collapse as he frantically kicked the City Wall in front of him.

Mingming.

Clearly... Defense Line Seven has successfully defended against this Rainy Season.

The situation has clearly improved. If nothing unexpected happens, Defense Line Seven should not have any problems during the next few Rainy Season. It can hold out for several years and may even be completely self-sufficient.

However, the Eternal Night Front lost two lines of defense during this Rainy Season, and the Eternal Night Hall was no longer able to build Northbank Defense Line, so it decided to abandon this area. This news completely shattered his illusions.

They all have to die.

So many people from the Four Regions of Jiangbei, the West Pass Plains, Guandong Plains will all die.

He did not resent the Eternal Night Hall.

He knew that the Eternal Night Hall had truly done its best; he was simply filled with despair and pain because of his own incompetence.

He knew that the decision made by the Eternal Night Hall was correct.

"The Four Regions of Jiangbei and the two regions Kansai the Great Wall" refers to a huge, land-adjacent Island that rises from the Eternal Night Continent. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with two nodes broken, requiring the establishment of two lines of defense.

But what if we abandon this area?

As long as they travel east along the "West Pass Plains" and reach the "Yellow Springs Pass Canyon," which is the intersection of the Eternal Night Continent and their side, and establish a defensive line in the area along the Coastline of the Eternal Night Continent, they will only need to defend one line.

In situations where resources are insufficient.

Giving up a region was inevitable.

He completely understands.

But it was precisely this understanding, resentment, and helplessness that caused him extreme pain.

The joy of successfully holding off the Rainy Season vanished in an instant. Two years later, Jiangbei fell, and the Defense Line Seven was the first to fall.

At the same time.

West of the Yellow Springs Pass Canyon, everyone in this area will die.

Although he somewhat resented the forces in the West Pass Plains ignoring their plea for help when the Defense Line Seven requested assistance, he couldn't bring himself to watch them die.

"That One gentleman, yes, That One gentleman...!"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, the Elder Seven, like drowning people grasping at a straw, had a glimmer of hope in their eyes and began frantically searching for the Message Talisman in their robes.

But soon...

He froze in place.

That gentleman didn't leave him any Message Talisman. Most importantly, even if he did make contact, so what? Even if the other party was a power that had been passed down since ancient times, so what?

How could a single power possibly build a defensive line?

Even if he begged.

The other party is also willing.

They were willing but unable to.

The Elder Seven, his pupils bloodshot, stood there in a daze, gazing at the tents at the foot of the City Wall. Just then, a member of the Defense Line Seven passed by him.

Unable to contain his emotions, he tried his best to suppress them and whispered, "Elder Seven, we held out!"

His voice was kept extremely low, but the excitement in his tone was almost overflowing.

The Elder Seven were slightly taken aback, and finally forced out a somewhat awkward smile.

"Yes."

"We held on."

A thick, inky darkness surged from the horizon; Eternal Nightfall.

This is the last night of the Rainy Season.

All the members of Defense Line Seven were excited and rushed to the top of the wall, ready to hold out for this last night.

We cannot let our guard down at this crucial moment.

They roared as they looked out at the countless Strange Tide surging from the sea beyond the defensive line, as if in a provocation or a celebration.

This scene had never been seen before on the lifeless Defense Line Seven.

Everyone's face was filled with an unprecedented hope and excitement.

Although they held their ground during the Rainy Season, many people died. In that situation, even if they survived the Rainy Season, the deaths of their friends would shroud the entire Defense Line Seven in grief and make it lifeless.

This time is different; this time there were almost no casualties.

At a time when all members of the Defense Line Seven were in a rather excited state.

Only the Elder Seven stood there, staring blankly at the endless darkness above and the torrential rain pouring down. He felt a suffocating despair completely engulf him.

He even felt a slight difficulty breathing.

The next moment.

Suddenly everything went black, and he fainted on the spot.

The next day.

Daylight broke, the rain stopped, and the sky was clear and blue.

The torrential rain that had lasted for Thirty Days stopped abruptly the moment dawn broke.

The only lingering trace of rain in the air proves that a Torrential Rain occurred last night.

Wearing a cashmere coat, Chen Fan walked up the City Wall of Cave One, stretched lazily, and then smiled as he looked back at Shao Qiu.

"Let's go, come with me to Defense Line Seven."

"During the Rainy Season, Defense Line Seven should have accumulated quite a few Strange Entities corpses. We'll have to go there ourselves for this first batch." "Wang Kui, count out a batch of Eerie Stone from the warehouse and load them onto the High-Speed Rail."

The Rainy Season is over.

He glanced at the Calendar hanging on the City Wall.

The beginning of the year, in the 381st year of the Eternal Night Calendar.

It's a new year again.

It's only two years until the Undersea Strange Tide Landing.

"They're gone."

As the weather grew colder, Chen Fan, wearing a cashmere coat, sat on the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail, heading south along the tracks towards Jiangnan, preparing to reach the Defense Line Seven. He looked out the window at the scenery.

He hummed Nameless little tune.

He wasn't in a very good mood.

The Spark Spreads Like Spark Ignites the Prairie Plan is progressing smoothly in the New Continent, and a large number of Eerie Stone are being collected at the Defense Line Seven. The Mortal Domain is developing steadily and rapidly.

Everything is getting better.

When passing through areas where Copper Pipe were damaged by Strange Entities, Chen Fan would get off the High-Speed Rail to repair them. However, this also made him more determined to find a way to protect the Copper Pipe as soon as possible.

That's all.

Walking and stopping intermittently.

The High-Speed Rail was much slower, but it still arrived at "Defense Line Seven" in the afternoon. Chen Fan, who got off the High-Speed Rail, looked at the rather lively Defense Line Seven and observed it carefully for a moment before laughing.

Despite the noise, everyone's face was beaming with excitement.

Obviously.

Not only did they hold the Defense Line Seven, but the casualties should also have been minimal.

And the Strange Entities corpses piled up like a small mountain.

They're all his.

You can exchange for quite a few items at the Sacrificial Tower.

Soon

The old man, accompanied by several performers, emerged from the noisy crowd and approached him.

"Elder Seven."

Chen Wu glanced around, smiled casually, and said, "The Rainy Season is over. Time to collect the goods. Looks like the top defense line held up pretty well this Rainy Season?" "I..."

The old man's face was pale, and his pupils were bloodshot. He was in very poor condition. He was already eighty years old, and his condition was worrying. He might suddenly die at any moment.

What's going on with you?

Chen Wu frowned slightly. "What chill did you catch during the Rainy Season?"

The Elder Seven were in such poor condition that they resembled Doppelganger Wraith; in the Mortal City, they would be prime targets for investigation.

"I"

The old man took a deep breath, waved his hand to signal everyone around him to disperse, and then stood alone in front of Chen Wu, his voice filled with despair and resentment as he spoke softly.

"Sir, all the members of the Defense Line Seven are very grateful for your support."

"But"

"Yongcheng Hall has deployed its top-level defense line. Yongcheng Hall has established an unparalleled defense line in the 'Yellow Springs Pass Canyon.' Two years later, a massive wave of Strange Tide will land from the Seabed Jiangbei."

"Yongcheng Palace is powerless to establish an effective defensive line north of the Jiangbei."

"Yellow Springs Pass Canyon is located at the East of the West Pass Plains, which is the true Coastline of Yongcheng Continent. Our Four Regions of Jiangbei, together with the two Eastern Pass regions, are just a large, protruding Island on Yongcheng Continent."

I'm telling you this news.

"Sir, please open the program as soon as possible. I won't leave. I can't bear to watch so many people die like this. I want to protect them on their final journey." After saying these words, the old man suddenly seemed much better, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Gentlemen."

"I'm truly grateful for your support these past few days."

Chen Wu frowned slightly. He understood. Yongcheng Palace wasn't planning to build a defensive line in Jiangbei anymore, and they weren't even going to build the Northbank Defense Line Eerie Stone for that.

"Has the situation at the Yongcheng Palace Frontline reached this critical point?"

"Yes, two lines of defense have been lost at Frontline, and quite a few people have died."

"Let me see."

Chen Wu pulled out the Ghosthide Map from his pocket and looked at Ya. At the easternmost edge of the West Pass Plains, there was a continuous mountain range with a large gap in it. That gap was the Yellow Springs Pass Canyon.

After a while.

He roughly understood the situation and looked at Elder Shang with some emotion. "Don't panic, Ye'er."

"There's a defensive line Jiangbei."

"The 170-kilometer-long Northbank Defense Line is now firmly situated on the Jiangbei. Neither the main defense line nor the Northbank Defense Line can fall."

We are all lowly and lonely.

Old Shang stood there, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. How could Jiangbei have a defense line? In the past, Jiangbei relied entirely on the aura of That One Liu Ling to deter the Undersea Strange Entity. Where did the defense line come from?

Yongcheng Hall wouldn't lie to him.

Moreover, with two Frontline already lost, the Eternal Night Hall truly lacks the resources to build any more defensive lines. So where would they find any? (But Ling Yike)

Like a bolt of lightning suddenly flashing across his mind, he suddenly realized something, his mouth agape, and he looked at the man in front of him with disbelief.

Could it be...?
