Chapter 573: Chapter 12: The Spatial Passage, Activate!_2
In such an atmosphere, the defense plan commenced.
No one took the final words of the meeting seriously.
The World Will warned in its own way, coupled with the continuous excavation of events that happened thousands of years ago; ancestors had already issued warnings about invasions thousands of years prior.
All these matters put together, everyone knew that this was no laughing matter.
Still, many remained optimistic. What if, just what if, it was true?
The higher-ups were taking action, as were countless other strong characters.
For those of the Third Realm and below, referred to as the “weaker ones,” Datong did not enforce any mandates.
They simply said to decide for oneself, to go wherever one wished.
The Teleportation Arrays would be open and free to use during these days.
People from all over began to move.
The largest movement was in Central Region.
“Brother, are you really going to leave?”
“Truly, with Datong officials treating this as a major threat, the enemies will be powerful. Who knows if we can survive this catastrophe? If I’m to die, I would rather return to my hometown… Don’t worry, if I manage to survive, I’ll come back. Brother, you’ll have to take care of my properties…”
“Ah…” The elder brother didn’t persist in persuading. He felt the same way!
Many people shared this sentiment, and Central Region was the place most populated by outsiders.
Some chose to flee to remote areas to seek refuge.
Ironically, the once bustling Central Region grew somewhat “desolate.”
Of course, apart from those leaving, there were also those returning to Central Region.
Wang Bai, also known as Big White, was one of them.
Having spent a few years at the college, with Wang Sheng’s approval, he went wandering. Now faced with these events, it was natural for him to return.
“Wang Bai, are you really going back?” A female from the Tiger Clan, who had used the Transformation Technique, was reluctant to part.
Although Big White was also reluctant, he was resolute: “I’ve told you before that I have a master. In times like these, of course I must return. Besides, my master is very powerful and offers security. Why don’t you come back with me? I’m sure my master would agree…”
He may not have known the exact strength of his master, but he was certain it was formidable.
Certainly safer than staying here.
The female from the Tiger Clan was tempted but also hesitant.
However, at that moment, a male from the Tiger Clan arrived and said, “Leave with him. By spreading out, we might be able to preserve our clan’s legacy.”
“Father…” The female Tiger Clan member was still reluctant.
But before she could say anything more, the male Tiger Clan member spoke again, cutting off her intended words: “Go!”
In the end, Big White left with the female Tiger Clan member.
The male who remained muttered to himself: “I hope I’m betting correctly…”
He recognized that Big White was out of the ordinary.
Hence, as a Fourth Realm strong character, he should agree to let his daughter accompany a Tiger Clan member with a master.
After all, despite how close the Spirit Clan was to the Human Race, they still held no taboo about acknowledging a master.
If he was right, it could mean preserving their legacy.
Big White quickly brought the female Tiger Clan member back to Qingshan Village. She looked at the somewhat mystical place in surprise: “Big White, is this where your master lives? There seem to be many strong characters here. What is your master’s identity?”
“Identity?” Big White scratched his head, “I’m not sure about the specifics, just that my master is one of the honorary deans of Datong College. Little White, don’t worry, my master is very strong, there’s no safer place than here…”
The female Tiger Clan member, referred to as Little White, was so shocked she couldn’t speak. Big White, carefree as usual, was unaware of some of Wang Sheng’s identities, but Little White was not the same.
Wang Sheng, the strongest in Datong College, whether he could survive the catastrophe was the key.
Truly, there could be no safer place than here!
As soon as Big White appeared, a projection of one of the Five Internal Gods, of the Seventh Realm, left by Wang Sheng, materialized.
Seeing the projection, Big White was very respectful. Without saying more, he could recognize some of his master’s avatars: “Master, I’ve returned, and this is Little White…”
The projection glanced at Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bai’s fur stood on end.
In the end, the projection nodded and let them through.
Wang Sheng might not be able to manage other places, but he could still allocate some tactics to protect Qingshan Village.
After all, inside Qingshan Village were the people he cared about most.
Nearly everyone in Qingshan Village had been called back.
If Da Bai didn’t return in a while, he would be forcibly retrieved!
Qingshan Village was indeed the safest place.
Not only did it have a Seventh Realm projection, but it also held reserves that could contend with the Eighth Realm if unleashed.
Even Wang Sheng couldn’t produce many of these.
Outside Qingshan Village, there were only two other places with such security.
One was in Huangtian’s possession, and the last one was with Zhu Xiao.
Both of them were reluctant to come to Qingshan Village, preferring to act in the outside world.
Wang Sheng had provided them with certain guarantees.
After all, one of our own is treated differently!
Apart from Qingshan Village, many people were seeking what they deemed safe havens, and the entire Datong was tense.
But the Chaotic Realm was not like this.
Their world had already learned about the invasion of other worlds.
Faced with a world where the strongest was but Seventh Realm, and others were merely Fourth and Fifth Realm, they were thrilled.
This represented a massive interest, with even the entire world participating for a huge harvest.
Those high and mighty Pulse Masters and True Monarchs might not care about some resources, but for many, the resources of an entire world were a tremendous boon.
Not to mention the huge benefits that come with a world’s ascension after devouring it.
“A weak world is our opportunity for the Heavy Water Path to rise.”
“I wonder how many resources we can obtain. We have to make a fortune this time. It’s great that we can take part in such a world invasion war. We might even become famous.”
“Don’t get too excited too early. What if we stumble?” While some were joyful, naturally, there were also differing opinions.
However, someone immediately countered, “Did not the True Monarch say that world only has weaklings beyond that Seventh Realm being comparable to a Pulse Master? The strongest are at most Fifth Realm; what is there to fear? Or do you think the True Monarch is lying?”
That person immediately dare not speak again; one does not casually refute what a True Monarch says.
And those wary of the new world were but a few; their voices simply couldn’t sway the others yearning for a slice of the pie.
Meanwhile, the nine Great Monarchs of the Chaotic Realm had arrived at their interdimensional portal, looking at the soon-to-open passage, each True Monarch unable to contain their joy.
“It won’t be long now. It will open soon, and I want to be the first to strike. That one called Wang Sheng, I want to kill him myself!” said the Kui Tian Monarch, having not forgotten the last time Wang Sheng got the better of him. It was his disgrace; only by killing him could he wash it away.
“The interdimensional portal can only accommodate one of us at first, and this person must be carefully chosen…” said a being shrouded in a black robe, his face unseen by anyone, but none of the present True Monarchs dared to overlook him.
The man in the black robe was one of the three ancient True Monarchs of the Chaotic Realm, the Secret True Monarch, his power extremely fearsome, master of many potent forbidden techniques.
“What Secret True Monarch says is substantial, but Kui Tian Monarch is indeed suitable to go first. Kui Tian is more well-suited for making contact, besides, Kui Tian seeks revenge!” Martial Arts True Monarch stepped forward to speak for Kui Tian.
Nobody objected, Kui Tian’s capabilities indeed made him suitable as the first to cross over.
Secret True Monarch did not rebuttal again.
“If that’s the case, then let Kui Tian Monarch be the first being to cross over. However, to make it smoother, we can also take along a few Seventh Realm within the tolerable limits of the interdimensional portal, for conveniences sake.”
“This is doable!”
Ultimately, the first beings to cross over consisted of Kui Tian Monarch and three Seventh Realm Pulse Masters, along with more than a dozen “fortunate” Sixth Realm.
They were all excited, not only able to interact with a True Monarch but also positioned to gain the first pickings…
As time passed, it soon arrived at year 38 of the new calendar, February.
The spatial portal opened!
(ps. The abrupt ending yesterday was due to my poor health and lack of time, for which I am truly sorry! Although it was indeed the designed ending, it wasn’t executed well, for which I’m really very sorry!!!)
