Heavenly Dominion, the Strange Tide makes landfall
Ordinary times, like Ephemeral Bloom, pass in the blink of an eye.
When the long-awaited rain began to fall gently on the Northbank Defense Line, it signified the arrival of this year's Rainy Season.
This could also be...
This is the last Rainy Season with a relatively low risk factor that Jiangbei Mortal Domain has experienced.
The time has come, Shiyue the 381st year of the Eternal Night Calendar.
Chen Fan stood on the City Wall of the Northbank Defense Line, his gaze sweeping across the Jiangbei wilderness to the gradually darkening sky in the distance. The coolness brought by the rain made him particularly clear-headed. When night fell tonight, the Rainy Season of this year would begin.
As usual, the Northbank Defense Line encircled the entire Mortal Domain, including Northbank City.
This was also the last ordinary Rainy Season that the Mortal Domain experienced.
Next year's Rainy Season.
The Undersea Strange Tide is about to make landfall.
He stood there, gazing into the distance, silent for a long time. He kept thinking about what preparations he hadn't made. It seemed like he had done enough, but he always felt it wasn't quite enough.
Just then—
Wang Kui walked over from the side, holding an oil-paper umbrella. He stood beside Chen Fan, the brim of the umbrella shielding Chen Fan's head, and whispered, "Domain Lord, it's chilly outside. Why don't you go back inside?"
"A cold?"
Chen Fan shook his head and chuckled, "Have you forgotten what happened during our first Rainy Season? Back then, we didn't even have Bamboo Hats or raincoats, and we were working in the rain every day."
"Let's go back."
He didn't say anything more, but simply turned and walked towards the foot of the City Wall.
Before leaving.
He glanced at the "Soul-Devouring Sculpture" placed at the foot of the City Wall, chuckled, shook his head, and walked in the rain toward the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail parked at the foot of the City Wall.
Several months ago.
He obtained a "Heavenly Dao Stone" from the Sacrificial Tower, which was the fourth Heavenly Dao Stone he had obtained in the Mortal Domain.
He eventually used it on the Soul-Devouring Sculpture.
A support building that can significantly reduce the Ammunition Consumption of nearby Defensive Structure.
My thoughts drifted away.
He vaguely recalled the panel he had seen that day.
"You used the 'Heavenly Dao Stone' on the Soul-Devouring Sculpture, 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 (Unerring Fire): Improves the accuracy of Defensive Structure within range."
"2: Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (King's Domain): Increases the range of Defensive Structure within the area, allowing them to break through the limitations of the Eerie Fire." "3: Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect (Exhausted Ammunition): When there are no Eerie Stones to provide energy support for Defensive Structure within the area, fire can continue for three hours, after which the Soul-Devouring Sculpture and the Defensive Structure within the area will shatter together."
He ultimately chose the third Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect.
Exhausted Ammunition.
He doesn't need accuracy. The Northbank Defense Line provides saturation coverage, and with the Max-Level Effect, he doesn't need to be precise.
He doesn't really need much range; the range provided by the max-level Eerie Fire is already sufficient, and he has the Mortal Domain Cruise Missile for anything further.
In comparison.
The third one is better.
Although it can only last for three hours when Exhausted Ammunition are exhausted, those three hours are basically enough to get through the night, giving them more leeway for evacuation or waiting for logistics the next day.
Chen Fan returned to Nameless Mountain Cave One.
As usual, he sat on the City Wall, listening to Wang Kui's report.
"Domain Lord."
Wang Kui glanced at the small notebook in his hand and said softly, "This year, the Mortal Domain has developed steadily, and multiple projects are progressing smoothly. The 'New Continent' project, 'Spark Starting a Prairie Fire Across the Plains,' is basically nearing completion and is expected to be fully laid out after the Rainy Season. Some of the logistical personnel maintaining the project have begun to be evacuated to the Mortal Domain in an orderly manner."
A total of 3.406 billion Eerie Stones were consumed.
"And one"
"With the reduction of this large expenditure, the Eerie Stones in the Mortal Domain's Warehouse has gradually increased, and now the Mortal Domain's reserves of Eerie Stones have reached 617 million."
"Based on the current mining progress in the Mortal Domain, we expect to have reserves of around 4 billion Eerie Stones before the Rainy Season arrives next year."
"Exploitation efforts in the 'New Continent' are also proceeding steadily. Many Ancient Battlefields remain to be explored, and it is estimated that it will be completely completed in about four years."
"Um."
Chen Fan sat in the Rocking Chair and nodded slightly. The "Spark Starting a Prairie Fire" project was finally over. This was the project that had consumed the most Eerie Stones in the Mortal Domain to date.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened this year.
Otherwise, if any major event were to occur this year, the Mortal Domain, which has devoted all its resources to advancing this project, would have virtually no power to retaliate. Such a vast Mortal Domain could very well collapse overnight as a result.
After the brief report...
Wang Kui then walked down the City Wall, while Chen Fan remained sitting alone on the City Wall. Night officially fell at this moment, and darkness, like melting dark chocolate, swept in from the horizon, quickly enveloping the entire world.
He looked down at a small object he had been fiddling with in his hand.
One.
Glass figurines for handling or playing with.
A small figure, whose appearance bears a resemblance to him.
It looks like a small toy sold in a traditional Market.
This is a "Blue Grade Special Resource" that he obtained from the Altar through sacrifice. There are many kinds of Special Resources, such as Eerie Stones, rare Exotic Treasures, Building Blueprints, and so on.
Over the course of the year, he obtained four Special Resources of Blue Grade through sacrifice.
The first two and the last one are all Eerie Stones.
A total of thirty million Eerie Stones were obtained.
The number is not small.
But it wasn't what he particularly wanted.
The third one, however, turned out to be quite lucky.
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Glazed Doll.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Blue Grade.
"Effect of the Exotic Treasure": After being bound to the owner by blood, it can help you avert certain death when you face a fatal crisis.
A protective Exotic Treasure.
Since acquiring this Exotic Treasure, he has always carried it with him, and it does feel quite nice to hold, making it a prized possession.
Although he already had a protective Exotic Treasure, no one would complain about having too many protective Exotic Treasures, especially since the Mortal Domain was constantly developing and the Jadeite Staff was gradually becoming insufficient.
Putting aside other things...
He was certain of one thing: wielding the Jadeite Staff would be no match for the barrage of attacks from a max-level Godslayer Cannon, but Assassin like Shao Qiu was completely helpless against him.
"It's alright."
Chen Fan leaned back in his chair, looking out at the weather outside the Cave, which had changed from a light drizzle to a Torrential Rain downpour. He stretched, enjoying the cool rain, and lazily found a comfortable position on the Rocking Chair.
Just then—
The Endless Night Lord Panel deep within his mind suddenly began flashing red and a panel popped up.
"You have ignited Eerie Fire across an entire continent, earning you the special reward 'Heavenly Dominion'!"
"Please proceed to that continent immediately to claim your reward."
Chen Fan was slightly taken aback, but then without hesitation, he jumped up from his chair and strode towards the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail parked at the foot of the City Wall. He had never seen the Endless Night Lord Panel pop up with a panel so frequently.
But.
The project he spent over three billion Eerie Stones to build is finally nearing completion!
It's harvest time!
"Domain Lord."
At this moment, Wang Kui rushed over from the side in a hurry, still holding a Message Talisman in his hand. "A message came from the New Continent saying that the Blazing Prairie Project has been completed ahead of schedule. I just received the news, Domain Lord."
"Knew."
Chen Fan waved his hand without pausing. "You stay in the Mortal Domain to guard the home, I'm going to the New Continent."
That's all.
The Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail, parked at the City Wall, sped across the Jiangbei Wasteland in the rain and soon disappeared into the Harbor.
It sped along at an even faster speed under the "Undersea Tunnel".
Above our heads are hundreds of millions of tons of seawater.
Ahead lies the bountiful harvest of the Mortal Domain.
This wasn't Chen Fan's first trip to the New Continent, but it was the one he had been most looking forward to.
New Continent.
Night has fallen.
It was time to rest, but tonight at New Continent No. 1 Outpost, all the core personnel were gathered in the dispatch room, their expressions excited and their eyes showing no sign of sleepiness.
On the "Heavenly Derivation Sand Table" placed in the center of the dispatch room.
At this moment, looking around...
Countless Yellow Grade dots of light covered the entire Heavenly Derivation Sand Table in a regular pattern, just like... a sky full of stars. They had never seen a sky full of stars since they were born.
But if there really are stars.
Perhaps this is how it will be?
The Crippled Monkey was extremely excited, constantly scanning every detail on the Heavenly Derivation Sand Table, afraid of missing a single area. He had already notified the Mortal Domain that the Young Master was on his way.
One year.
In the Mortal Domain's strength and resources have been devoted to this matter, causing it to "Spark Starting a Prairie Fire."
Before that.
None of the people in this house ever imagined that they would one day be able to complete such a large-scale project, General Strange fire across an entire continent.
But
They did it.
They really accomplished this feat, which can only be described as a miracle.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The excitement inside the room lingered for a long time, when suddenly a voice from the crowd said that the Domain Lord was almost there. Everyone rushed out of the dispatch room and headed towards the platform.
Just at this moment.
The Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail carrying Chen Fan pulled into the station.
The moment Chen Fan stepped off the High-Speed Rail and truly stood on this continent.
A miracle happened.
Countless people from New Continent No. 1 Outpost poured out of the city like madmen. Before leaving, they did not forget to wake up their sleeping companions. The various logistics Stations and the monitoring personnel on the Island also came out of their houses.
They stood frozen in place, looking up at the breathtaking scene unfolding in the sky.
The moment Chen Fan's feet touched the ground.
The 169,988 fully-level Eerie Fires placed on the New Continent, including the hundreds of Islands, suddenly erupted with dazzling Golden Light Pillar, disappearing into the sky, as if summoned!
Nearly 170,000 max-level Eerie Fire enveloped the entire continent.
It illuminated the entire continent as if Broad Daylight.
This may be the first time in history that this New Continent has been so thoroughly understood.
But high above, it was still shrouded in endless darkness. The night that covered the entire New Continent seemed to have no end, still looming over the New Continent.
But
As the Golden Light Pillar light erupting from nearly 170,000 Eerie Fire plunged straight into the sky, the darkness receded.
The Golden Light Pillar continued to rise rapidly.
The darkness in its path was quickly dispelled.
The speed is getting faster and faster.
It's getting faster and faster.
Until!
"Boom"
A faint, earth-shattering sound resounded in everyone's ears; it was as if they heard a giant balloon being popped. The darkness over the New Continent was completely dispelled.
They saw it.
They gazed upon the countless stars in the Nine Heavens, and they saw a sliver of moonlight in the Nine Heavens.
Them.
I have seen the true appearance of this Heaven and Earth.
No one spoke; everyone stood there, stunned, watching the scene unfold. This was the first time in their lives they had ever seen a sky full of stars, and the first time they had ever understood the meaning behind the poems about stars in ancient books.
The sheer shock made them instinctively hold their breath.
It was as if everything before my eyes was an illusion.
I fear that if I'm not careful, everything I see before me will vanish like a mirage.
Standing on the City Wall of New Continent No. 1 Outpost, Chen Fan also looked at this scene with a somewhat dazed expression. At this moment, he even forgot the reward of "Heavenly Dominion" and even forgot why he came to the New Continent.
The scale and scope of the commotion he witnessed far exceeded anything he had ever seen in his life.
This reward.
It's not a panel that only he can see.
Rather, it is.
A shocking scene that everyone could see.
After dispelling all the darkness, the 170,000 Golden Light Pillar continued to rise higher and higher, until finally, at the edge of sight, they repeatedly converged into a single Golden Light Pillar that shot straight up to the Nine Heavens!
The next moment!
One hundred and seventy thousand Yellow Grade Golden Light Pillar suddenly exploded and shattered completely!
The New Continent has entered its Rainy Season.
A Yellow Grade rain, billions of raindrops, fell evenly from the Nine Heavens upon the entire New Continent, showering all Mortal Domain Member. This rain fell where no one could see.
The dozens of deep ravines left behind by the Ancient Battlefield, which were thousands of feet deep and filled with Chaos and foul gas, began to grow and close rapidly. The waterfalls and valleys from which clear white spring water flowed, though still retaining their rugged outlines, had lost their ferocity and were covered with lush greenery.
The purplish-black poisonous soil, under the Gold Grade rain, transformed back into fertile soil imbued with spiritual energy, and countless tender green shoots sprouted from the earth. Even the river water, the moment the rain fell, became clear and visible from its source.
The Mortal Domain Member, who were originally somewhat exhausted, felt their fatigue vanish instantly when the Gold Grade rain fell on them, and some of their hidden ailments were also instantly healed.
"Young Master, Young Master..."
The Crippled Monkey standing behind Chen Fan looked down at his leg, which could now stand straight, and his eyes instantly reddened as he trembled, saying, "I'm not lame anymore, I'm not lame anymore."
Some of the Mortal Domain's unofficial members who had previously lost limbs began to regrow new flesh at their sites, and their limbs were regenerated in no time. Meanwhile, some older members of the Mortal Domain's unofficial members suddenly saw their silver hair turn completely black, and many of the wrinkles on their faces diminish. "Roar!"
That was the roar of "Weiwei. "Weiwei was excitedly rolling around in the Gold Grade rain, its scales constantly falling off and quickly growing back in a new layer of Yellow Grade scales.
The monkeys that had been following Weiwei were now letting out a series of screams, appearing extremely excited.
This is a...
Golden Rain fell upon the entire New Continent.
Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan looked at the scene before him and suddenly laughed.
He finally knew what the reward for "Heavenly Dominion" was.
Normally speaking...
To spread "Eerie Fire" across a continent, the General Strange creatures must be completely driven away first. At that time, the Golden Rain will repair all the damaged mountains and rivers on that continent.
It will heal everyone's injuries.
It will extend the lifespan of everyone.
Like Golden Rain of victory, it brought new life to this war-torn continent.
This Golden Rain must have fallen at the end of a great battle.
And besides that—
He looked into the Depths of the Soul, at the panel that popped up on the Endless Night Lord Panel.
If this Golden Rain is a reward for the entire continent...
That panel was his reward.
The two are combined into one.
That is, "Heavenly Dominion".
"You have ignited Eerie Fire across an entire continent, earning you the special reward 'Heavenly Dominion'!"
"In the next three years."
"This continent will continuously absorb the energy of the Eternal Night to form Eerie Ore, and the soil will be fertile. Within three years, this continent will not be invaded by Strange Entities." Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan looked into the distance, quietly watching the Golden Rain. He finally understood why the Heaven-Questioning Incense stick had said that if there was enough time, it would be worth it, otherwise it wouldn't.
" To Heavenly Dominion".
The real reward is a three-year period of Peace granted after a great war ends. During these three years, the continent can develop rapidly, restore its former prosperity, and will not be attacked by Strange Entities.
He didn't know how many of the Eerie Ore deposits would form.
But he was certain it wasn't a small amount.
Is it worth it?
He felt it was worth it.
As for the most important thing now, it is one
He took out Message Talisman from his pocket and contacted Wang Kui through the Signal Tower installed in the Undersea Tunnel: "Bring all Mortal Domain Member to the New Continent immediately."
"Be quick."
This heavy rain can prolong life and heal hidden ailments.
It is a great opportunity, one that cannot be missed.
He didn't know how long this Golden Rain would last, but he decided to get Mortal Domain Member here first. As for the Northbank Defense Line, it could operate completely automatically, and there was no need for too many people to guard the Mortal Domain during the normal Rainy Season.
After this order was issued...
The Mortal Domain began to stir.
High-Speed Rail, filled with Mortal Domain Member, sped towards the Undersea Tunnel. This was the first time many Mortal Domain Member had stepped into Undersea Tunnel. The New Continent had always been a top secret in the Mortal Domain. Although many Mortal Domain Member had vaguely guessed some things, no one had ever witnessed it with their own eyes.
After giving all these instructions, Chen Fan continued to stand on the City Wall, looking at the Golden Rain was supposed to fall only after the Strange Tide was defeated and all the continents were conquered.
A three-year safety period.
This means
Even if they repel the Strange Tide, there are still many more enemies eyeing them covetously on this Vast Sea. This three-year period of safety may be the greatest reward.
"Are there many enemies?"
He gazed at the hundreds of Islands illuminated by Eerie Fires on the distant sea and murmured, "Then let it come."
Three years.
He could sense that after receiving the "Heavenly Dominion" reward, he had developed a subtle connection with the New Continent.
For example, he could vaguely sense that the continent, which was constantly collapsing due to the loss of the Heavenly Dao, was now being rapidly repaired under this Golden Rain.
In other words.
This continent will not collapse for a very long time.
This will be their Rear Base.
Two hours later.
Mortal Domain Member arrived one after another. As they stepped off the platform, they saw the Golden Rain that had enveloped the entire New Continent, and they also saw the sky full of stars.
That Golden Rain fell from the stars.
"Domain Lord... Domain Lord!"
Just then
Qi Chong rushed excitedly to Chen Fan's side, his voice trembling, "I've checked! The entire New Continent is incredibly fertile... many places are at the level of Level-Ten Farmland!"
"This is natural Level-Ten Farmland, and it's vast stretches of it."
"The maturation rate of herbs and Exotic Plants grown in the New Continent will increase significantly."
"I would like to apply to establish a medicinal plant garden in the New Continent."
"Plant it."
Chen Fan glanced around and laughed, "This place is so big, you can plant wherever you want. Go ahead and plant."
All Mortal Domain Member were extremely excited.
They could clearly feel that all their hidden ailments had been healed. Those remaining in the Mortal Domain, besides the Mortal Domain Member, also included the families of the unofficial members of the Mortal Domain, who were arriving one after another in carloads.
Bathed in this Golden Rain.
To extend the lifespan of everyone.
"That's a bit much."
Sitting on the rooftop, the Gongyang Yiyue looked around at the Golden Rain and sighed, "Why shouldn't we have our lives extended? Aren't the Night Watcher human?"
"Ah?"
This Golden Rain extended the lives of everyone except for the two of them.
It was as if their Lifespans were already predetermined.
Everyone's fate is uncertain, but their destiny was sealed from the moment they were born.
"Shh!"
Big Fish glanced at Gongyang Yiyue with some dissatisfaction, then pointed to the starry sky above. "Look at the stars, we might not be able to see them anymore later."
"Okay, it really does look good."
My father used to tell me that when people die, they turn into stars in the sky. How many people would have to die to make so many stars?
"Then when I die and become a star, will you be able to find me?" The Big Fish tilted its head and looked at Gongyang Yiyue.
"Able."
The Gongyang Yiyue: "I'm sure I can find you, after all, you're definitely the brightest one."
Big Fish chuckled and said nothing more. He simply leaned on Gongyang Yiyue's shoulder, looked up at the starry sky above, his gaze gradually unfocused, and began to count the stars on his fingers.
She knew she couldn't count all the stars.
But I still want to count how many stars there are.
The Gongyang Yiyue are among the few outsiders who can remain in the Mortal Domain during the Rainy Season.
The Gongyang Yue has arrived. It wasn't allowed during the Gongyang Yue before, but since Qi Yue made it clear, the Rainy Season during the Gongyang Yue is allowed this year, and members can enjoy the same treatment as family Mortal Domain Members.
The Mortal Domain has a systematic set of benefits for the families of its members.
To ensure that those who work for the Mortal Domain can have stable lives for their families in the Mortal Domain.
Tianyi later.
The Golden Rain gradually stopped, and endless darkness once again enveloped the New Continent, obscuring the countless stars as usual.
The 170,000 Eerie Fires laid across the New Continent have all shattered.
However, the entire New Continent World was shrouded in a giant Gold Grade eggshell. Although the Eerie Fire had shattered, the Eerie Fire it provided remained and merged into one.
Chen Fan could sense it.
This Eerie Fire that has engulfed the entire New Continent will last for three years.
The New Continent will not be invaded by Strange Entities for three years.
Although he hadn't seen any Strange Entities attacking him these days.
After the Eternal Nightfall.
Strands of darkness could be seen, like ink drops falling into clear water, piercing through the massive shell of the Eerie Fire egg and falling onto the surface of the New Continent, gradually forming an Eerie Ore.
No need to dig, just pick it up.
This naturally formed, Eerie Ore will persist for three years.
With so many resources supporting it.
The Mortal Domain will experience even faster development.
This Rainy Season, like any other, was extremely uneventful.
All the core members of the Mortal Domain quietly enjoyed the Rainy Season, because everyone knew that this might be their last moment of peace.
It was also the last peaceful Rainy Season they experienced.
That's all.
A year has passed quickly.
"Hurry, hurry!"
A rapid commotion erupted along the Northbank Defense Line, where a large number of people had already gathered, busily laying out Ground Spikes Traps in front of the Northbank Defense Line.
Chen Fan stood on the Northbank Defense Line, leaning on his "Jadeite Staff" with one hand, gazing at the turbulent Dead Sea in the distance. A year had passed since the Mortal Domain obtained the "Heavenly Dominion" reward.
The current time is...
End of October, 382nd year of the Eternal Night Calendar.
With only a few days left until the arrival of this year's Rainy Season, this Rainy Season will be no ordinary Rainy Season. It will be the time when That One aura dissipates and the Undersea Strange Tide Landing. The 170-kilometer-long Northbank Defense Line stands on the Jiangbei Coast, and many Mortal Domain Member are busy running around, making final preparations for the arrival of the Strange Tide.
Four years.
"It's been four years."
Chen Fan exhaled a long breath of White Mist. The air was gradually getting cooler, earlier than usual. It had been more than four years since he came to this world. Four years ago, he learned that the Northbank Undersea Strange Tide was about to make landfall.
He has been preparing for this for the past four years.
Now.
The moment has finally arrived.
The entire Mortal Domain mobilized, working together with one heart and one mind, all for this battle.
"Domain Lord."
Wang Kui strode over to Chen Fan's side, glancing down at the notebook in his hand. "We've already sent people to check. All the Cannon Tower and Soul-Devouring Sculptures on the Northbank Defense Line are in their designated positions and undamaged."
"Furthermore, there are 100 spare Soul-Devouring Sculptures in the rear, ready to fill the gap at any time."
"In addition to one"
"In the Rear Base the Nameless Mountain, all 200 Altars are in normal condition and can provide sufficient support for repairs to the Northbank Defense Line."
"And now the Mortal Domain's reserves of Eerie Stones Eerie Stone reached 7.8 billion."
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded slightly. Originally, the Mortal Domain did not have this many Eerie Stones in reserve. If they only mined the New Continent, they could not mine this many Eerie Stones in a year.
However, after receiving the "Heavenly Dominion" reward, the naturally occurring Eerie Ore generated by "Heavenly Dominion" produced more than 3 billion Eerie Stones for them in just one year.
We've already broken even.
Break even in one year.
From then on, it was all pure profit.
Certainly.
The "Heavenly Dominion" reward will cause the New Continent to continuously generate Eerie Ore over the next three years. They did not mine all the Eerie Ore in that year, but only mined a small portion.
The main reason is a shortage of manpower for mining.
The original plan was to add new non-official members to the Mortal Domain.
But.
After the heavy rain ended, they discovered that only those who had been bathed in the Golden Rain could reach the New Continent; others, let alone mining, could not enter the New Continent even through the Undersea Tunnel.
That enormous protective shield of Eerie Fire completely protected the New Continent.
Not only does it reject attacks from Strange Entities.
It also prevents other people from logging in.
After discovering this, Chen Fan roughly understood that countless Eerie Ore would be born in the three years following the "Heavenly Dominion" of the New Continent, and this protection was in place to prevent the rewards from being taken away at this time.
Although progress will be slower.
However, on the New Continent, with 100,000 unofficial members from the Mortal Domain, things couldn't be too slow, and they still managed to produce billions of Eerie Stones in a year. This was a reward for the entire continent to recuperate, exclusively for the Mortal Domain.
I'm a little full.
"There's one more thing..."
Wang Kui continued his report, "The Northbank Defense Line is a full 170 kilometers long. We need a large number of people to be able to collect the corpses of the Strange Entities and dig up the Eerie Stones after each night's battle against the Strange Tides, just like the 'Defense Line Seven'."
"But we don't have enough manpower right now."
"If we want to recruit a large number of non-official members from the Mortal Domain..."
Wang Kui hadn't finished speaking.
Chen Fan interrupted Wang Kui, saying, "No need to recruit. Issue a notice and order all forces in the Four Regions of Jiangbei and the West Pass Plains to send personnel to provide support, mainly to handle some logistics and post-battle collection work."
"They're not one of our people, what if..." Wang Kui asked hesitantly.
"Won't."
Chen Fan shook his head. "Let the leader of each faction personally manage and supervise their Subordinates. If anything goes wrong, we'll hold the faction leader accountable. That's what they do for supervision and management, it's something they excel at."
"This can greatly reduce the occurrence of situations like General Strange stone into one's own clothes."
"Go."
"Clear."
Chen Fan glanced at Wang Kui's departing figure, placed his hands on the Parapet of the Northbank Defense Line, let out a long breath, and then his mind stirred.
The hundreds of millions of Eerie Stones stored in the Mortal Domain Warehouse suddenly shattered all at once, turning into Milky White Liquid that rushed rapidly along the Copper Pipes toward the "Northbank Defense Line".
The Northbank Defense Line began to light up one after another, like dominoes falling in quick succession.
The City Walls began to rise one by one!
With the blessing of 850 million Eerie Stones, the Northbank Defense Line, which was originally all level 5th-Level City Walls, has now been upgraded to level 6!
A series of panels kept popping up in front of me.
"The City Walls have been upgraded to level 6, increasing their strength and durability."
Please select an upgrade direction.
"1: The City Wall can self-destruct, unleashing tremendous power, the force of which depends on the City Wall's strength and grade."
"2: Enemies attacking the City Wall at close range have a low chance of suffering a certain amount of damage reflected back."
3: Enemies attacking the City Wall from a distance will deal less damage to the City Wall.
He scrolled through the panels one by one, consistently selecting the third option.
Occasionally, a direction for a Qualitative Transformation upgrade will pop up.
But none of it was of any use.
If this Qualitative Transformation happens to occur in the third option, he would have to demolish that City Wall and rebuild a Level-6 City Wall to plug the gap.
Those kinds of Qualitative Transformation upgrades that only apply to one City Wall, rather than all connectable City Walls, are pretty useless. Before long...
The newly renovated Northbank Defense Line stands tall on the Jiangbei Coast under the setting Dusk.
All of them are Level-6 City Walls.
It's about the same size as the Defense Line Seven.
It has more Wraith Blood Patterns than the direction of number seven.
Longer and harder.
That should be enough.
"Get to work!"
On the West Pass Plains, the Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord looked down at the letter in his hand, grinned, jumped up from the bed, and strode outside. "Northbank Emergency Call."
"The Rainy Season is approaching, dark clouds loom over the city, and Strange Tide is about to surge. The hundred-mile defense line Jiangbei is desperately short of manpower. Therefore, this urgent dispatch requests assistance from all directions." "Any strong and able-bodied man is of our need."
"October 27th, 382nd year of the Eternal Night Calendar in Jiangbei Mortal Domain."
Stepping outside, the Slaying Immortal Holy Land Sacred Lord Slaying Immortal Holy Land Disciples who were already waiting in the courtyard, nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand. "Let's go!"
The next moment!
Boxes of Eerie Stones were carried to the High-Speed Rail at the foot of the mountain, and disciples of the Slaying Immortal Holy Land, dressed in black and carrying knives, followed the train.
He was prepared long ago.
He was just waiting for the Mortal Domain to issue its Jianghu Order, and then he responded immediately.
These past few days.
When the Mortal Domain released the news that the "Jiangbei Sea Surge" was about to make landfall, the various forces in the West Pass Plains realized that the Jiangbei node had already been shattered.
And now I finally know why the Jiangbei Mortal Domain spent so much money building the Northbank Defense Line.
In an instant.
The response of pregnancy rate.
High-Speed Rail, packed with strong men and Eerie Stones, departed from various regions, including the Four Regions of Jiangbei and the Guanqiu Plain, heading towards the Mortal Domain.
It's not just because we admire what Jiangbei has done.
More responsible.
It's still because the Mortal Domain can move.
If you dare not go, Mortal Domain will dare to come.
"Domain Lord Chen."
Chen Fan, who was staring blankly at the sea from the City Wall, heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice. He turned his head and saw the Elder Seven striding towards him. "How are the preparations going? Whether we can protect Jiangbei depends on these next few days."
The Elder Seven showed little concern, especially after seeing that the City Wall was no longer twenty meters high, but thirty meters. Their lips twitched slightly. It would be a miracle if the Northbank Defense Line could be breached.
"Fine."
Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, enjoying the sea breeze, and said with a smile, "No news about the Eternal Night Hall lately?"
He had few sources of information about the Eternal Night Hall.
It was mainly done through the Elder Seven.
"It's alright."
The Elder Seven breathed a sigh of relief, "Last Rainy Season, another point on the Eternal Night Front was lost, but it was recaptured after the Rainy Season." "The main issue is that the pressure on the Eternal Night Front is greater during the Rainy Season."
"Everything's fine most of the time."
"All we can do is hold onto our three acres of land. The rest is up to the Eternal Night Hall. If the Eternal Night Front falls, then we'll just have to accept our fate."
"Um."
Chen Fan lightly tapped the turtle.
"Oh, right."
The Elder Seven suddenly glanced around with some doubt. "Didn't you recruit Mortal Domain? Your Northbank Defense Line is 170 kilometers long. If you didn't recruit any people, the post-war reconnaissance work will be difficult."
"The Seven-Colored Defense Line has hundreds of thousands of people, more than half of whom are responsible for post-war data collection."
The main source of income for an Eerie Stone line comes from these post-war collected Eerie Stones.
That should be enough.
Chen Fan hesitated slightly before saying, "I've issued a public notice, requesting assistance from various major powers. Asking them to send some people should be enough." "That won't do."
The Elder Seven's expressions immediately turned grim, their brows furrowing deeply. "Domain Lord Chen, you've overestimated the power of the Four Regions of Jiangbei and the plains of Guanqiu."
"They won't respond just because you send out a call for help."
"Even if your Northbank Defense Line is protecting them, they won't appreciate it until the Strange Tide comes straight to their faces." "Is that so?"
Hearing the High-Speed Rail whistle behind him, Chen Fan turned around and looked back. Upon seeing this scene, he suddenly laughed, "Look, they're here." The Elder Seven followed Chen Fan's gaze and looked behind them.
Behind the Northbank Defense Line, on the Wasteland, several High-Speed Rail Tracks stretched out, and seven or eight High-Speed Rail trains were running side by side, speeding across the Wasteland and soon arriving at the Northbank Defense Line.
The first High-Speed Rail stopped.
Hundreds of people disembarked from the High-Speed Rail -High-Speed Rail, carrying boxes of Eerie Stones with them. Leading them was the Holy Lord of the Immortal Love Sacred Ground, who stood at the foot of the City Wall, arms crossed, grinning and shouting at Chen Fan was standing on the City Wall.
"All disciples from the Slaying Immortal Holy Land of 729 have arrived, bringing three months' worth of rations and five million Eerie Stones as support, seeking only a battle!"
"For Jiangbei, for Guanqiu!"
