Mortal Domain Member are busy at the "Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One," laying Copper Pipes on the City Walls, and quickly setting up Altars and Godslayer Cannons on the City Walls.

Chen Fan stood on the wall, silently gazing at the scene before him.

The Northbank Defense Line were only temporarily dispatched to provide support; they must return to Jiangbei before tonight to take Jiangbei.

Tonight.

All the Strange Tide launched a night attack on the Frontline almost simultaneously.

There was no need to attack the secondary defenses. After all, going to the secondary defenses would require sneaking across and losing troops. If the Frontline could be breached, why bother attacking the secondary defenses? It would be a completely unnecessary and pointless endeavor.

But

Once the enemy learns of the large breach in Jiangbei of Western Wasteland Island, this wave of Strange Tides will certainly not hesitate to sneak across and launch a night raid on Jiangbei.

Therefore.

The Northbank Defense Line must return today.

Before leaving, all he could do was try to reinforce the "Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One" to buy enough time for the rear to evacuate. As for the remaining defenses... the Eternal Night Continent was too vast for him to manage.

Fortunately, the Eternal Night Hall received advance warning before the nighttime attack by the Strange Tide, and promptly notified all defense lines, thus avoiding being caught off guard. And through the information from the Eternal Night Hall...

He also learned that the That One had been trapped in a certain area by the Strange Entity Clan for years was released last night.

"We don't need these pots and pans!"

Black Tortoise Plains, Black Tortoise City.

Inside the house, a Middle-Aged Man was packing his belongings, hurriedly stuffing quilts into bundles, saying, "We'll be able to fill our stomachs on the Western Wasteland Island by eating Wild Grass. The main things to bring are cotton-padded clothes and blankets."

"With so many people going to the Western Wasteland Island, how could the Jiangbei Mortal Domain possibly provide heating for everyone?"

It's currently Winter Season.

"It's freezing cold."

"Who knows how many people will freeze to death."

"Hurry, let's go, let's go."

"Master," the woman in the floral cotton-padded jacket behind us said, her eyes brimming with tears as she stroked the doorframe, her voice trembling, "Are we really leaving? Has the Strange Entity Clan really reached the Black Tortoise Plains? We finally managed to establish ourselves in Black Tortoise City, and now we're leaving?"

"Nonsense!"

The man, somewhat anxiously cursing, said, "The Frontline are almost gone! Do you think we can even reach the Black Tortoise Plains? As long as people are alive, there's always hope. Hurry up, the Teleportation Formation in the Mortal Domain have already sent wave after wave of people away."

This scene.

It happened in every corner of Black Tortoise City.

Whether it was the local power, the common people, or the merchants Butchers.

Everyone brought along what they considered most important, and under the organization of the people from the Black Tortoise City Lord's Mansion, they rushed towards the Teleportation Formation outside the city. Groups of people turned into White Light and disappeared from their original positions, and then transferred to the Western Wasteland Island through the Teleportation Formation multiple times.

In the crowd.

The burly man carried large and small bags on his shoulders, holding his wife and child by the hand. His wife was also carrying several bags, while the boy with a pigtail clutched a rattle drum tightly and followed behind his father in a somewhat flustered manner.

The child didn't know what had happened, only that his father seemed a little flustered today.

"Lord, it's time for us to go."

On the City Wall of Black Tortoise City.

An Elderly Man climbed the wall, looked at the back of the Middle-Aged Man standing on the City Wall, and whispered, "The lady is waiting in the Courtyard with the children and Attendants; they are ready to depart at any time."

The Middle-Aged Man didn't speak; he simply stood on the City Wall, quietly watching the refugees below.

Black Tortoise City has stood on the Black Tortoise Plains for decades.

It has never fallen into enemy hands.

He was very satisfied with the City; anyone who came to the Black Tortoise Plains and saw his Black Tortoise City had to praise it.

He devoted his entire Heartblood to Black Tortoise City.

Let him go.

That's no different from letting him die.

The man stood with his hands behind his back for a long time before softly saying, "Take them to the Western Wasteland Island. I'll stay here. I want to witness this City's destruction."

He gently stroked the surface of the City Wall and whispered.

"Everyone's gone, old friends will be lonely."

I'll stay and see him off.

The slightly hunched Elderly Man behind him remained silent for a moment before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Yes, sir. As per your orders, Lord City Lord, the Eerie Fires outside the city have been laid. This old servant... will ensure the safety of the lady."

Gradually.

Dusk rises to the horizon.

This "Black Tortoise City," which once almost represented the Black Tortoise Plains, is becoming increasingly deserted, with fewer and fewer people to be seen. The Middle-Aged Man did nothing, neither eating a grain of rice nor drinking a drop of water, but simply stood on the City Wall.

He could vaguely see it.

When I was young, I grabbed my father's hand and climbed up the City Wall, asking him with great curiosity how he built Black Tortoise City.

His father chuckled and replied, "This is just a rough draft; you'll need to refine it further."

At the time, he didn't know what building a City meant, but he answered in a childish voice that he would definitely build Black Tortoise City into the number one city in the world.

I don't know how much time passed.

The man suddenly laughed.

So be it.

Outside the city.

The Family Head the Tang Lineage in Black Tortoise City, along with Tang Yue and other members of the Tang Lineage, stood by the Teleportation Formation carrying large and small bags, looking at the city lord standing on the City Wall. After a long silence, the head of the Tang Lineage finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"They're gone."

Can we ever come back?

With tears welling up in Tang Yue's eyes, she realized that the person who had once claimed to be the President of the Trade Association was Chen Fan from the Jiangbei Mortal Domain, and that the Western Wasteland Island he was currently protecting was the last safe place on the Eternal Night Continent.

Yes, it will.

The head of the Tang Lineage gently patted Tang Yue's shoulder. "Let's go."

The next moment

The entire Tang Lineage vanished from the spot, leaving the vast Black Tortoise City deserted.

They left empty-handed.

Only the scattered mess at the city gate symbolizes that many people once lived here.

Night fell.

The Eternal Night arrived as scheduled, and almost the instant darkness swept in from the horizon, the earth shook violently.

The continuous mountain ranges surrounding the Black Tortoise Plains, which covered the entire plain, began to slowly collapse, signifying that the "Formation Manifestation" that had remained intact on the Black Tortoise Plains for many years was beginning to crumble.

There is no defensive line on the Black Tortoise Plains.

This is because the nodes of the Black Tortoise Plains are intact.

But at this time, as the areas bordering the "Black Tortoise Plains" fell one after another, the nodes of the Black Tortoise Plains sandwiched in between also began to crumble, and the continuous mountain ranges that had stood for countless years began to collapse.

The ground shook as a result.

Countless Strange Tide surged through the dust, their faces contorted in a ferocious display, and crashed into the Black Tortoise Plains!

This is the first time Undersea Strange Tide has made landfall on the Black Tortoise Plains.

I don't know how much time passed.

The Middle-Aged Man standing on the City Wall gradually came to his senses and looked at the hundreds of Eerie Fires that had been lit after the Eternal Nightfall Black Tortoise City. These fires allowed him to see very clearly the large number of Strange Tide approaching from afar.

But those Strange Tides were clearly charging forward with all their might.

But they were getting further and further away from the City.

No Strange Entities rushed to the foot of the City Wall for a long time.

"Hey."

The man laughed, then instinctively suppressed his laughter to regain his composure, but quickly realized he was alone, and laughed again, "Nothing special."

The next moment

A piercing scream suddenly rang out from the Strange Tide, echoing through the sky.

Immediately afterwards.

These Strange Tides seemed to have broken through some kind of restriction, and began to accelerate towards the City Wall, getting closer and closer.

The smile on the Middle-Aged Man's face slowly froze.

The stench was almost solidified and hit us.

The countless Strange Tide drew ever closer to him. This was the first time he had ever seen such a Strange Tide. Then, the Cannon Tower mounted on the City Walls began to fire, smashing the Strange Entities to pieces.

Only.

Black Tortoise City is, after all, an inland City built by a powerful force, not a defensive line.

The Strange Tide before them was another Strange Tide that had broken through the Frontline.

The sporadic artillery fire was like children playing, unable to stir up even a ripple.

Almost in the blink of an eye.

Countless Strange Tide, defying the bombardment from the Cannon Tower, surged onto the City Walls with overwhelming force.

At this moment.

The city lord, who had already returned to the City Lord's Mansion, lit three incense sticks with slightly trembling hands. Standing in his ancestral hall, he looked at his father's Stone Stele and bowed.

The city fell.

Two bows.

Countless Strange Tides surged into Black Tortoise City. A Strange Entities with fierce eyes rushed into the ancestral hall, grinned maliciously at the man's gray back, and raised its scythe. The man sighed softly.

A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

Three bows.

Sparks shot skyward from the center of Black Tortoise City!

The blue bricks paving the ground of the entire City quickly revealed lines of lit Crimson Veins. In an instant, the entire Black Tortoise City was enveloped in blazing orange-red flames, and countless screams and howls of the monstrous Strange Tides echoed through the sky.

From that time on, the name Black Tortoise City ceased to exist in the world.

Countless Strange Tides perished with it.

The Black Tortoise Plains has fallen.

Western Wasteland Island.

It was late at night.

However, the "Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line" was extremely busy.

Today, it received a large amount of resources and people.

A large number of Logistics Pavilion Members, controlling the "Giant Strange Entity," rapidly laid out Copper Pipes, Altars, Godslayer Cannons, and other buildings on the newly established level Tenth-Level Defense Line. The level 10 "Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line" was simply unable to protect the Western Wasteland Island.

They need more Tenth-Level Defense Line.

Two, three, even four!

The more the better.

The Strange Tide has not yet reached this point, but tonight, many more areas of the Eternal Night Continent have fallen. Time is running out for them.

Many members of the Mortal Domain haven't had a chance to close their eyes since last night; they've been so busy they can't stop.

At the same time.

Chen Fan was also shuttling back and forth between the three lines of defense. The prototypes of the Tenth-Level Defense Lines were rising from the ground, and the Logistics Pavilion Members were quickly completing them. He hadn't closed his eyes since last night.

No matter how fast he builds buildings.

It will also take time.

He can't build structures in his sleep.

At this moment.

He has just completed the construction of a new "Jiangbei Defense Line Two" in Jiangbei, which is also a level 10 line, 170 kilometers long, and located behind the "Jiangbei Mortal Line One".

"Are two Tenth-Level Defense Lines enough?"

On the City Wall.

The Crippled Monkey's voice trembled slightly. This was the All-Out Assault; all seven Tenth-Level Defense Lines on the New Continent had fallen.

"Not enough!"

Chen Fan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I have built a hundred new 'Brick Kilns' in the Jiangbei Wasteland. Have the people in the Logistics Pavilion quickly take in the fleeing population and select capable people to learn how to control the 'Giant Strange Entity' so that these people can use the Giant Strange Entity to build one or even two defensive lines in Jiangbei."

"The more the better."

"Young Master." The Crippled Monkey's heart skipped a beat; the Young Master had truly been too busy to remember anything. "The bricks made in the Brick Kiln are very weak. They can't stop the Strange Tide at all."

"I know."

Chen Fan looked at the Crippled Monkey: "But as long as the altitude reaches 200 meters, we can disguise it as a Tenth-Level Defense Line, making the Strange Tide feel somewhat troubled and delaying its attack, giving us enough time."

"We need time to receive and digest the resources."

Building a defense line takes time.

"As long as we can keep the Strange Tide for a while, we can turn the fake defense line into a real one."

"Clear!"

The Crippled Monkey instantly understood what was happening and immediately turned around to give the orders.

Fortunately, the Mortal Domain has experienced many major events.

The Mortal Domain Member were all Battle-Hardened. Even though the Western Wasteland Island was suddenly thrown into chaos by the influx of so many people, the Mortal Domain was still able to maintain its operation and was not overwhelmed in an instant.

Soon

Thousands of Giant Strange Entity began to stagger across the Jiangbei Wasteland.

Under the cover of night.

It was a bit bumpy.

But soon they became more and more stable, and began to produce Giant Bricks in the Brick Kiln in the Jiangbei Wasteland. Each of these bricks was huge, several times taller than a person, and ordinary people could not move them except by using "Giant Strange Entity".

A 170-kilometer-long decoy defense line—this is an extremely massive undertaking.

This project is even larger than Chen Fan building a real defensive line.

But.

At this time, Western Wasteland Island had little in abundance except for its large population.

As more and more Giant Strange Entity emerged, a 170-kilometer-long false defensive line gradually rose from the ground.

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan watched this scene in silence, expressionless. While Teleportation Formation could be used to receive people, receiving resources required Flying Boat and High-Speed Rail, which were much slower.

At this point, he had not received many resources.

More resources are on the way.

They have not yet arrived in the Mortal Domain.

He had to first put on a show, lest the Strange Tide decide to deal with the Mortal Domain first and then risk a great deal of smuggling to the Western Wasteland Island, which would be difficult to handle.

As for whether it's useful or not.

He didn't know either.

Let's give it a try first.

The "Teleportation Formation" leading to the New Continent operated rapidly and repeatedly, transporting the elderly, women, and children to the New Continent.

The three-year period has expired.

Even those who have never experienced the Golden Rain can travel to the New Continent.

The remaining young and strong men were quickly absorbed by the Mortal Domain and dispatched to various places.

This Strange Tide is extraordinary.

He had to prepare for the possibility that the Undersea Tunnel might be destroyed. Once the Undersea Tunnel was destroyed, the only way to travel between the two continents would be through Teleportation Formation, but these Teleportation Formation could only transport people, not supplies.

This means that food and other supplies basically cannot be transported.

He didn't think much of it.

He took out a bottle of Pills from his pocket, took out a Coolheart Pill and threw it into his mouth. He was instantly much more awake before boarding the Flying Boat towards the "Defense Line Seven" in the Guandong Plains. He needed to build another level 10 Defense Line Seven.

Just then

A Pocket Green Edge suddenly sped from the horizon and came to a steady stop in front of Chen Fan.

The Eternal Night Continent.

It was late at night.

But tonight is different from usual. Even though it's already night, a large number of Flying Boat and High-Speed Rail are still heading towards the Western Wasteland Island. The Eternal Night Hall has mobilized almost all of its Flying Boat. These Flying Boat have only one mission: to transport resources to the Western Wasteland Island.

Flying Boats, rarely seen on ordinary days, were constantly flying back and forth in the sky above the Yellow Springs Mouth Region.

And in the far distance.

Southern Region the Eternal Night Continent.

"Eternal Night Southern White Tiger Frontline Four"

A Middle-Aged Man in Green Robe stood on the ruins of the defensive line, with two huge, wounded Crocodiles lying on the ground beside him, panting heavily.

The defense line, long since reduced to ruins, was piled high with countless Strange Entities corpses.

And ahead.

They landed from the Seabed, and more and more Strange Tides emerged, but instead of launching an attack, they gathered together.

What is your name?

Emerging from the Strange Tide of monsters was a colossal Ghost Emperor, while a diminutive Strange Entities perched on its shoulder, spanning thousands of Thousand Meters, gazed at the Middle-Aged Man and its voice resounded across the heavens. "Give me a name."

"Just call me... That One guy."

The Middle-Aged Man stood on the line of defense amidst the ruins, looking down at the Three-Foot Green Edge in his hand and chuckling softly.

He has no name.

I've been wanting to find the right time to choose a more formal name, but I haven't found the right time yet. Since everyone calls him "that That One," I might as well just call That One "; it sounds natural too.

"That One."

The Little Strange Entity creature sitting on the Ghost Emperor's shoulder spoke calmly, its expression completely unwavering.

"I've fought countless battles, but this is the first time I've seen a fallen Heavenly Dao still able to take Humanoid Form, and even possess its own emotions." "You held us off for Tianyi."

"We cannot kill you; you have transcended Reincarnation and become an immortal being."

"But"

"I have many more Strange Entities under my Subordinate, but your sword seems to be losing its sharpness."

The Middle-Aged Man didn't speak, but continued to look down at the Green Edge in his hand, subconsciously turning his head to gaze towards the northwest, which was Jiangbei, his home.

Eternal Night Southern White Tiger Frontline Four.

The city fell on the very first night the Strange Entity Clan launched their All-Out Assault.

He was passing through this place.

Seeing this scene.

I intended to pretend I hadn't seen anything, hurry back to Jiangbei, go home, and let the two guys who had suffered with me for so long see my child, but... I turned back halfway there.

He still couldn't bear to see the Strange Entities slaughtering humans.

He's been fighting since last night.

They killed for Tianyi.

He single-handedly held the line of defense that stretched 78 kilometers and Strange Tide.

Only.

At this moment, I feel a bit weak.

It seems like we can't go back.

He hadn't yet returned to Jiangbei, hadn't yet sat on the Nameless Mountain in a daze again, hadn't yet helplessly watched those two guys competing to see who could dig the biggest and deepest cesspool. The only good news was that after he escaped, he saw that the little guy was alive and well, staying in Jiangbei.

Especially after learning that the Mortal Domain Suppression Jiangbei and that the Eternal Night Continent had launched Great Evacuation Plan, with all humans and resources retreating to the Western Wasteland Island, he felt even more compelled to defend this place.

Does it make sense?

The Little Strange Entity perched on the Ghost Emperor's shoulder smirked and said, "So what if you manage to stop us? Can you even cover the other lines of defense?"

The Middle-Aged Man turned his head to look at the Little Strange Entity he had been talking to in the distant, Strange Tide, and suddenly laughed, "You really are... so Xiao Yi." "Insolence!"

The Strange Entities's face instantly darkened. "Our Royal Clan values the youngest among us!"

"Yeah?"

The Middle-Aged Man laughed even more heartily, "Then why stand on the Ghost Emperor's shoulder to talk to me? Are you afraid I can't see you?" The Strange Entities standing on the Ghost Emperor's shoulder had an even fiercer look in its eyes, but it still hesitated to give the order to continue the charge. The Sentience Strange Tides in the Seabed dared not attack this man. He could only order his army to Subordinate, but he felt bad for even losing one of Subordinate Strange Entities.

"Never mind."

He suddenly laughed too, "Humans have always been better at talking. Since you're willing to waste time here, I'll just keep going. I'm not in a hurry."

Let's take our time.

"Wrong again."

The Middle-Aged Man shook his head. "I'm not human, that's a mistake."

I'm not going to waste my time here with you.

"That's the second mistake."

The next moment

The man looked up at the Little Strange Entity monster standing on the Ghost Emperor's shoulder Thousand Meters away and suddenly laughed again.

You're too close to me.

"This is the third mistake."

The Little Strange Entity creature perched on the Ghost Emperor's shoulder changed its expression instantly. Almost immediately, it jumped off the Ghost Emperor's shoulder and fled rapidly into the depths of the Strange Tide. For the past Tianyi, it had clearly determined that the man's furthest attack range should not reach it.

But it was too late.

He suddenly felt enveloped in shadow.

I subconsciously looked up.

Suddenly, an enormous Hammer appeared, hovering above his head, and came crashing down on him!

"Boom!!"

The earth shook violently.

A massive crater appeared in the center of the Strange Tide, and the Little Strange Entity, along with the abandoned Ghost Emperor and all the Strange Tide within range, were smashed into a bloody pulp by this single blow!

With a single blow.

The Strange Tide around them all fled into the sea.

As always, he was stationed in Jiangbei.

"Kindness"

The Middle-Aged Man looked at the scene before him, a smile flashing in his eyes, "Finally, you've shown yourself. You 'Xiao Yi talk so arrogantly." The Hammer in the distance rapidly shrank and shot towards him.

The man grabbed it.

He tucked it into his arms.

He picked up his Three-Foot Green Edge again and headed towards the next defensive line. There was no need to worry about this line for the night. Meanwhile, red clouds appeared on the horizon, piercing the Eternal Night and scattering Blood Rain.

A faint mournful sound drifted through the Heaven and Earth.

Seeing this, the man curled his lip. It was just a little bit of Heavenly Dao Essence Blood that he felt like he was about to die from this Heaven and Earth phenomenon.

And he really wanted to dispel a rumor.

First.

Only after the fall of Sentience Wraith Kings and Ghost Emperors will there be unusual Heaven and Earth phenomena; the fall of the Ghost Wraith King Emperors at the Seabed will not cause any Heaven and Earth phenomena. This is the most important point.

Who spread the rumor that the strange phenomenon of that Heaven and Earth was that Heaven and Earth wept for the fall of the Wraith King?

This is not pure nonsense.

The Heavenly Dao here is the Heavenly Dao of the Eternal Night Continent. How could it weep for the fall of the Wraith King? It should be joyful, okay?

It's true, I don't know who spread this rumor.

They wept, leaving Heaven and Earth in sorrow.

He's just a Strange Entities; he doesn't deserve the title.

"Hello."

"Are you sure you don't need to be sent back?"

He turned his head to look at the two Crocodiles following beside him.

"Don't ask us to feed you."

One of the larger Crocodiles grumbled, somewhat annoyed, "Does Chen Fan even know how to name a child? Why did he name my child 'Weiwei'? What a terrible name!"

"I get angry just hearing that word now."

"That is."

The other Crocodile, unusually, didn't argue today, but nodded in agreement, saying indignantly, "Isn't the Little Flower I chose a nice name?"

"Actually, they were all just average."

The Middle-Aged Man chuckled as he walked forward, each step covering miles.

The Heavenly Dao cannot be killed.

But when the Heavenly Dao Essence Blood was burned away, he died; he had only two drops left.

Good.

That's enough.

He often felt like an anomaly. Logically speaking, the Heavenly Dao should not have emotions, but he did. Logically speaking, he should have perished after his last self-destruction, but he survived in a strange state.

He didn't even know what he was.

But let's leave it at that.

That's enough.

After the two Crocodiles beside them bickered as usual for a while, the larger Crocodile, after a long silence, finally couldn't help but speak up. "Boss, Chen Fan and the others have found a New Continent. It should be your continent, the one you were once the Heavenly Dao of." "Why don't you retreat to the New Continent with the Mortal Domain?"

That's your home.

That's not my home.

The man shook his head, casually saying, "The Heavenly Dao there is dead. For me now, the Eternal Night Continent is home." "Boss, what's it like to be the Heavenly Dao?"

"It's pretty boring; hundreds of years pass in the blink of an eye."

"As beings of Heavenly Dao, can't we just do whatever we want?"

"You're overthinking it. The Heavenly Dao has no emotions or desires, it doesn't even have substance, and it does nothing."

"That sounds pretty boring, even more boring than being trapped here for so many years."

"If we compare them like that, then I was definitely much more boring than you guys. After all, you had each other to play with, but I had absolutely nothing to play with back then."

"Hey, boss, that's a really weird thing to say."

"Don't call me 'Hey'!"

"Boss, you just told us to feed you."

"One thing at Return to One time!"

The Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline Seven.

Tonight marks the second night of the Strange Tide's all-out All-Out Assault.

Forty percent of the Eternal Night Continent has already fallen.

No support.

There was no logistical support.

All defenses were fighting a desperate battle.

Meanwhile, the "Eternal Night Western Region Xuanwu Defense Line Seven" had reached the point of Exhausted Ammunition. There was still an hour until dawn, but the supply of Eerie Stones stored in this defense line was almost exhausted.

The Cannon Tower gradually went out of service.

More and more Strange Tide are launching their attacks with unbridled ferocity.

The fall of a city can happen in the blink of an eye.

"It's our turn."

Old Qiu had been sitting cross-legged on the City Wall, slowly rose and slowly removed his upper garment, as if peeling off a piece of withered tree bark.

As the last piece of fabric slipped away.

His emaciated upper body was exposed to the wind of the Eternal Night.

He's old.

Very old.

His ribs bulged out clearly, rising and falling slightly with his heavy breathing. Although his muscles were withered, they were tightly twisted under his skin like the roots of an old tree, outlining strong lines in the dim light.

"How about it?"

Old Qiu turned his head to look at Tianyi beside him, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Although you're old, your physique is still quite good." "Teacher, you still have the same charm."

It's not as good as before.

Old Qiu let out a long breath, standing in the cold wind stretching his limbs, and said somewhat absentmindedly, "I haven't Achievement much in my life, I've been quite a failure." "Back then, your master's wife asked me to keep it a secret that my child was a member of the Night Watcher, not wanting him to join the Eternal Night Hall, but I was a bit stubborn at the time, always thinking that if other people's children could sacrifice themselves, why couldn't my own child?"

Afterwards, your teacher's wife and I parted ways.

"To die in a foreign land."

"Sometimes I think it's pretty stupid. Does the Eternal Night Hall really need another Night Watcher?"

"Never mind."

In the cold wind.

Old Qiu's lips moved slightly, and he sighed softly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, as if he were putting a period to his life. Although he was dissatisfied, that was just how it was.

As he slowly inhaled, his hunched spine straightened inch by inch.

The joints crackled and popped like popping beans, followed by a rapid surge of golden -Red Grade heat beneath the skin, as if magma were beginning to surge again in dried-up blood vessels.

"They're gone."

Old Qiu uttered his last words, as if bidding farewell to an old friend.

He started running.

Running north along the City Wall, it started slowly, but after three steps, the speed suddenly increased, a kind of resolute determination that condensed a lifetime into a brief burst of burning acceleration.

Flames began to gradually seep out of the body.

Each step left a ripple of Flame on the City Wall.

Until

When the speed reached its peak, Old Qiu's figure was no longer visible. Instead, a golden -Red Grade sun hung high in the sky, like a Gold Grade meteor traveling in reverse, crashing straight into the ink-black depths of the Strange Tide.

Wherever it passed, countless Ghost Beings turned to ashes before they could even utter a scream.

Tianyi stood there, silently watching his teacher's departing figure.

He vaguely remembered when he first joined the Eternal Night Hall Western Operations Group.

There was a couplet hanging on the wall, but it only had the first half of the sentence; the second half was missing.

Even if the Ting Mang to enter the sea.

He asked the teacher what the second half of the sentence was.

The teacher said he hadn't thought of a slogan yet, but once he did, he would use it as the slogan for the Eternal Night Hall Western Operations Group. Later, he added the second half of the slogan, "How about I also burn my blood Heaven-Burning?"

The teacher was very happy.

He said with a smile that it was just that sentence, and later that sentence was hung at the headquarters of the Eternal Night Hall Western Operations Group.

Later on...

He then learned that his teacher was also a special Cultivator "Firewalker Sun," which explained why his teacher liked the second half of the sentence so much.

He turned his head again to look towards the Western Wasteland Island to the north.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Those days are quite memorable.

What a pity.

He actually quite enjoys farming.

In a daze.

Yellow Grade Flames began to flow rapidly within his body, and an extremely powerful force filled him. He took one last look at his teacher's departing figure and murmured to himself.

"Even if I were to Lei Mang entering the sea, I would still burn my blood Heaven-Burning."

As the golden light on his skin intensified until it enveloped him in a Humanoid Form walking sun, his breathing gradually became broken, with each exhale releasing Gold Grade mist carrying sparks.

He started running towards the south side of the defensive line.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

Until they both soared into the air, like eagles piercing the sky, crashing into the Strange Tide.

This moment

Two suns shone brightly on the Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline Seven.

On the defensive line.

Countless soldiers guarding the city watched this scene in silence. They knew that such important figures had countless opportunities to survive. If they wanted to evacuate, these important figures could retreat to the Western Wasteland Island on the very first day.

But these important figures didn't withdraw.

Instead, they stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Someone has to cover the rear.
