Early autumn, sunny.
The sky above the ancient continent was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, like thick ink that couldn't be dissolved. The light that leaked out from the gaps between the clouds was like demonic blood that sprinkled over the entire world.
All the humans on the continent, with the support of various strong cultivators, carried out a large-scale evacuation, retreating from all directions towards the Central Province. The core of the human base was Bai Ling Mountain.
Everything within a hundred light-years of Whitesoul Mountain was a human base. Towering steel walls stood tall, encircling the humans like livestock. Many super laser cannons and nuclear cannons were set up on top of the metal walls, which were more than enough to destroy any monsters that tried to harass them.
Looking at the dusky sky, everyone's hearts were heavy, as if an invisible stone was pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
The soldiers guarding the city looked a little old, and the stubble under their helmets was a little messy. They had a cigarette in their mouths, and during their free time after changing shifts in the afternoon, they just quietly looked at the sky.
What a vast sky!
Everyone under the sky felt small and insignificant, but they could only silently watch this world and wait for the judgment of fate.
Ye Chen stood at the border of the city, looking into the distance. With his super strong senses, he could sense that all the dead creatures on the ancient continent were gathering towards the southeast as if they were under control. They were like countless tributaries that slowly converged into a vast ocean.
"Is the war coming …?" Ye Chen looked into the distance. "I haven't seen you for ages. Ancient God, have you become stronger now …?"
He slowly turned around and returned to Bai Ling Mountain. Looking at the hundreds and thousands of strong cultivators gathered in the shrine, he said coldly, "Currently, the army of dead creatures is gathering. According to their speed, they will arrive at the border in less than ten days. When that time comes, the war will come!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, everyone's hearts trembled. It was as if a huge rock had suddenly fallen on them, and even their eyelids trembled.
Everyone had seen how powerful the dead creatures were, and they also knew that this war was related to the fate of the entire human race!
If they failed, the human race would disappear from this world!
Judging from the number of Dead Spirit Creatures that rose up in the vast continent, no one was optimistic about this battle. After all, not only were there as many Dead Spirit Creatures as there were stars in the sky, but there was also a large number of headless ancient corpses among them. Each of them had power close to the Virtual Sky World!
Ye Chen frowned slightly when he noticed the heavy atmosphere that filled the hall. A trace of sadness flashed through his eyes, but it vanished very quickly. He turned to look at Jin Huan and said, "Are the seventy-two Divine Generals and the Martial God Guards ready?"
Jin Huan nodded respectfully and said, "Everything is ready. The War Master said that he is in seclusion to deal with the arrival of the Ancient Gods. The Ancient Gods will not appear in this battle. At most, there will be the Divine Generals under him and the revived Great Path. Therefore, this battle will be handed over to Your Highness, the Saber Emperor. The seventy-two Divine Generals and the ninety thousand Martial God Guards will be under your command. They will listen to your orders."
"Does that include you?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.
Jin Huan was stunned for a moment, and then she nodded and said, "Yes, Jin Huan will naturally obey your orders at all times."
"I see."
Ye Chen nodded slowly. "Let the Martial God Guards hide in the base and be ready to attack at any time. This battle is of great importance. If we lose the battle, the whole continent will be under the control of the Dead Spirit creatures. At that time, no matter where you run, you will only end up dead." His last words were for the audience.
He didn't want anyone to run away at the last minute.
The people in the hall naturally understood. They were all silent. How could they not know the importance of this battle?
Ye Chen glanced at the crowd and didn't say anything more. His figure instantly disappeared from the hall and reappeared thousands of miles away. Looking back, the bustling base city appeared under his feet. The majestic White Spirit Mountain was beautiful, with clear water and green forests. It was a beautiful sight.
However, Ye Chen seemed to have already seen the scene of it turning into a ruined mountain. His eyes were filled with sadness and a sigh. Only he knew the result of this battle. However, he had no choice but to lead everyone to face it!
Some things, even if you knew the result, you still had to face it with your chest out!
"Let's wait. In ten days, the battle will begin."
Ye Chen looked at the people walking on the streets of the base city. He felt the peace hidden under the fear. He sighed in his heart. His figure flashed, and he arrived in a base city. He turned into an ordinary person and walked into a restaurant. He spent hundreds of times more money than in peacetime to buy a few small dishes and a small bottle of wine.
Looking at the street outside the window, Ye Chen drank a little wine and ate some small dishes. He was also enjoying the unique atmosphere of human civilization.
Ten days later, it was cloudy and sunny.
The hazy sky looked like it was going to drizzle. Dense dark clouds stacked together. Above the outermost steel wall, there were countless small black dots. They were as dense as birds, but in fact, they were huge spaceships, warships, aircraft carriers, and super mechas.
Countless black heads stood on the steel towers that stretched as far as the Great Wall. In the past ten days, under Ye Chen's orders, Jin Huan had organized all the demigods in the base city who could participate in the battle into an army. They would fight against the army of the undead together.
At the moment, in the crowd on the city wall, everyone was carrying their own weapons. Some were cold sabers, some were sharp snow swords, and some were thick cannons. At first glance, one could tell that they were good at technological weapons. There were also sticks, iron hooks, sharp claws, and so on.
Everyone was extremely nervous. This moment that would determine the life and death of mankind was in their hands, in the hands of the weapons in their hands!
If mankind still had a future, this day would be recorded in the annals of human history!
Everyone who participated in the battle would be the heroes of mankind, the legends that would write history!
Thinking of this, everyone felt their blood boiling. Coupled with the fear and excitement of death, everyone was bursting with an unparalleled fighting spirit. They were like young lions and tigers.
Rumble …
At the edge of the sky, where the dark clouds were hanging low, a black tide was slowly surging over from the horizon where the sky and the earth connected. Looking around, the earth within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers was being pushed over like a bulldozer. It must be the same scene in all the other directions of the human base city.
A low and deep sound that sounded like ten thousand horses galloping sounded in the wilderness outside the vast city wall. The black torrent carried an unstoppable and frightening aura as it rushed over crazily and trampled over, as if it wanted to crush everything in front of it!
Have you ever seen a herd of buffaloes running head-on?
The scene at the moment was countless times more terrifying than a herd of buffaloes running head-on!
Everyone couldn't help but tighten their grip on the weapons in their hands. Their palms were drenched in cold sweat. Those who had never experienced a real battlefield would never be able to imagine how realistic this scene was. It was as if even the wind that blew was like a knife cutting their faces, stimulating every cell in their body.
The oxygen that entered their chests seemed to ignite their blood like flames, making every nerve jump and boil!
As for some of the more timid people, when they saw this scene, their hearts almost stopped beating due to the rumbling sound that was constantly approaching, and they were scared to death!
In this torrent of undead creatures, there were also figures that stood tall and upright like giants. They slowly appeared behind the black torrent and walked forward slowly. Their enormous bodies were as majestic as gods. Just their calves were as tall as the entire city wall. With a stomp, hundreds of thousands of people would be trampled into meat paste!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Everyone's breathing gradually quickened. The strong sense of death stimulated every cell in their body to go crazy. They couldn't retreat, or rather, they couldn't retreat!
If they lost the war, all of mankind would be finished!
They could only fight!
They had to fight even if they died!
"Roar!!"
More than a billion people on the city gate tower roared to the sky and raised their weapons. Their hair was wild with anger, and their eyes were completely red. They roared and displayed their strength. Under the command of an Ancestral God General, they suddenly charged toward the torrent of dead souls in front of them.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
From afar, it looked as if countless black meteors had shot out from the city gate tower. They streaked across the dusky sky and crashed into the army of undead with a loud bang.
The ancient war broke out in an instant!
"Kill kill kill kill!!!"
Everyone was completely crazy. It was unknown whether it was the strong fear or the desire in their hearts for blood, but everyone's brain seemed to have taken stimulants. They were completely in a state of madness, and there was only crazy killing in their minds!
"Die, die, die!!!"
Countless people continued to throw themselves into the war, clenching the weapons in their hands. They didn't care what realm they were in, nor did they know what realm the creatures were in. They just roared and rushed forward, like tragic knights, like brave warriors, like ants pushing an elephant, dauntlessly rushing in wave after wave.
The creatures at the front of the undead army were like giant mammoths, covered in sharp scales. Their bodies were dozens of feet tall, their fangs were fierce, and their four hooves were majestic like mountains. With a slight charge, they knocked the people around them, causing them to vomit blood. Some of their bodies directly collapsed into a cloud of blood mist.
The smell of blood stimulated the rest of the people even more, and it was as if their minds had been stimulated. They crazily waved their weapons, raining down on the giant beasts. With the cooperation of countless people, they finally killed a giant monster. Then, more monsters pushed forward, trampling the rest of the people who couldn't react in time!
Ye Chen stood on the imposing city wall, looking behind the black flood in the distance. There were a few faint powerful auras there. They should be the great generals under the Ancient God.
Looking at the soldiers on the city wall below continuously rushing into the battlefield, he frowned and said to Jin Huan, "Have the Martial God Guards send out ten thousand people. Six thousand of them are in the north, west, and south, while the other four thousand come here to the east."
"Why?" Jin Huan asked in surprise.
"Their main generals are gathered in the east. Clearly, they want to attack here." Ye Chen glanced at her. "You just need to do as I say."
Jin Huan didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately turned to do as he said.
…
It was finally the climax, the opening of the war. This chapter was just the opening, and the real excitement would come later. There was a very depressing matter today. Originally, the book was supposed to be released at noon, but he forgot that it needed to be reviewed. Therefore, according to the 24-hour review time, he should be able to find the new book by tomorrow morning.
He wasn't in a good state today. In the morning, he was busy with the final review of the new book. In the afternoon, he was preparing and sending the contract. Today, he was too tired and sleepy, and his mind couldn't take it. Tomorrow morning, he would wake up and write another chapter, release it in the morning, and then continue writing at night.
Tomorrow, he would try to make up for today's chapter in the morning and write two more chapters, making it three chapters in total. He also had to write the second chapter of the new book, so tomorrow would be four chapters. He really had to work hard. Old Gu went to sleep first. He was too sleepy and couldn't force himself to write anything good. He was really sorry for today.
