"In the southwest region, the Ancient God Earth Lord has revived, and a large number of half-beast corpses are about to Po Jun's defenses!"

"In North China, the ancient tiger Ancient God, which had been dormant for so long, has once again emerged from the depths of Changbai Mountain, bringing with it a large number of demonic beasts!"

"The ice and snow in Tibet are advancing inland, leading to speculation that some ancient snow Ancient God has begun her invasion of the mainland!"

" The Eight-Headed Serpent Ancient God of the island nation is wreaking havoc on the coastal areas; the island nation is now confirmed to be annihilated!"

"Besides..."

All the information was gathered in the command center, and Marshal Gao, whose hair was already gray, looked utterly desperate.

"It's over, everything is over!" The staff officer beside him murmured, his eyes glazed over.

No one expected that their ' God-Slaying ' plan would provoke a chain of retaliations from the Ancient God all over the world.

Based on previous records of battles between the Ancient God in the interior, it was assumed that the Ancient God fought independently.

If we just seize the opportunity and take it slow, we can eventually kill all the Ancient God and bring dawn to humanity.

Unexpectedly, the fall of one Yanluo provoked a full-scale counterattack from the Ancient God.

Marshal Gao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, then his fierce eyes scanned his surroundings:

"Comrades! Don't lose heart. Even if all the Ancient God want to destroy us, at least we're still alive, aren't we?"

"As long as we don't give up, we definitely still have a chance. We've already killed one of the Ancient God, haven't we!"

A moment of silence fell over the command center, followed by a hint of joy appearing on the faces of the despairing crowd.

Yes, we have already killed an Ancient God with human power, so it's not entirely without a chance.

if only...

'Bang!'

A gigantic tentacle emerged from the ground directly beneath the command center, without any warning.

This tentacle has countless sharp teeth, and at its tip is a huge eyeball. Once you make eye contact with it, your body will be contaminated and quickly rot into pus.

"We've finally found you!"

A voice resounded in the minds of everyone present; it was clearly the owner of the tentacles.

"It's Ancient God!! Ancient God from other places have come to Huaxia!"

Someone pointed at the tentacles and exclaimed in surprise, clearly recognizing their identity.

"You think these ants are the Yanluo you've killed?"

The tentacle looked around as if searching for something, and finally the single eye on it fixed its gaze on Marshal Gao was standing in the command center on the second floor.

"You're the commander of the human forces, aren't you? Tell me how you killed Yanluo."

The tentacles twisted and came to the outside of the command center, staring at Marshal Gao through the protective glass. The two soldiers guarding him both stepped forward.

Those who obtained Xu Xiao's Seed of Desire were not only the seven Demigod, but also a group of less powerful Huaxia Desire Pursuers volunteered to serve as guards for the high-ranking leaders.

At this moment, the two men suppressed their fear of those in high positions and stood firmly in front of Marshal Gao.

The other party was the leader of the Huaxia army, the leader of humanity's plan to counterattack the Ancient God, and also an old man worth risking their lives to protect.

"Of course, it's through the power of us humans, Ancient God!"

Marshal Gao stepped forward, meeting the gaze of the one-eyed man without fear, his eyes filled with nothing but hatred and no fear whatsoever.

"Aren't they the ants who got the chance to be promoted?"

The tentacles did not attack; instead, they remained calm and looked at Marshal Gao at eye level.

"I have a collaboration to discuss with you. Humanity in this world is about to face destruction; the other Ancient God will wipe humanity off the face of the earth."

"But I don't agree with doing that. I can step in to protect another group of humans. Would you like to accept my goodwill?"

"Just tell me about those Ascendant, and I can protect you from this cataclysmic cleansing and even support your continued survival and reproduction on this land in the future."

The voice of the Ancient God with tentacles echoed in everyone's minds, and the news it delivered was explosive.

"Goodwill? I think it's a trap!" Marshal Gao only paused for a second before figuring out the intricacies of the situation.

"Are you planning to make us betray humanity's last hope?" Marshal Gao asked with disdain, a sentiment echoed by most of the people in the command room.

Those who appear here are all elites of Huaxia; don't even think about having them act as spies.

"Don't even think about it! Stop dreaming!"

"Humanity will not submit to you, especially the people of Huaxia."

Marshal Gao's face showed a resolute determination, as if he were facing certain death.

"Your so-called protection is nothing more than wanting us to continue worshipping you as before, keeping humanity living in your shadow."

"In the past, our ancestors chose to compromise for a moment of peace, but we today will never do that!"

"You killed so many of our compatriots, and you still think you can return to the position where you could take whatever you wanted? Don't even think about it!"

"Whether you're a god or a monster, you'll never conquer our bones!"

Huaxia also has organizations that worship Ancient God, with rules passed down from ancient times, but not everyone is willing to do so.

Especially after the indiscriminate attacks by the Ancient God on the entire country, the Ancient God' sacrificial rituals that had been going on for thousands of years were exposed, and many people with backbone would rather die in battle than submit to the Ancient God again.

A person lives for their pride; if they only care about eking out a living, what's the difference between them and domesticated livestock?

"You disagree?"

The tentacle paused for a moment, much like a human would, before more tentacles emerged from the ground.

This time, it's straight to the killing!

The special alloy bullets were completely unaffected by the tentacles and were deflected directly, while the tentacles continued to crush humans into minced meat.

After Carnage everyone in the command center, they began repeatedly ramming the special protective glass on the second floor.

Several of Marshal Gao's bodyguards, Desire Pursuers, originally wanted to help Marshal Gao escape, but Marshal Gao stopped them.

"This guy's after me. With an old man like me in your party, you're not getting away."

"We will definitely protect you as you escape. Even if it's Ancient God, it won't be able to easily take you away from us." Both warriors looked very confident.

They are only one step away from becoming Demigod, and with government troops outside, they may not necessarily be unable to escape.

Unfortunately, Marshal Gao had no intention of wasting these seeds of human counterattack here just to save his own life.

The two of them were only one step away from becoming Demigod. If one of them could survive, they would have a better chance of fighting the Ancient God in the future.

When faced with danger, humanity is not lacking in the courage to sacrifice.

"I will transfer the authority to launch the nuclear missile to Major General Lin Xiao. After that, it's up to you all."

Marshal Gao exchanged a glance with the technician beside him, and seeing the other nod, he understood that the authorization had been successfully transferred.

Marshal Gao quickly handed the key and a book containing contact information for the hidden nuclear weapons launch site to the two men, then pulled out a pistol from his waist.

"Don't let me down. Anyone can be sacrificed, but someone in Huaxia must survive."

"This is my final order: gather the remaining forces and kill these guys."

"Run!"

After Marshal Gao finished speaking, he headed towards an internal passage, intending to guide the tentacles into the command center.

Even as a man in his seventies ran, his back remained resolute.

The one-eyed tentacle was indeed focused solely on him; as soon as he moved, the tentacle followed suit.

"Let's go, don't let Elder Gao down."

Seeing this, the two soldiers could only run in the other direction, which led to the passageway outside the command room.
