Chapter 215: Chapter 213: The Final Struggle
The undead on the map were already in complete disarray.
Some undead were striving to congregate, seemingly trying to assemble a force for a counterattack, while others fled in all directions, apparently realizing that the range of the Alliance’s probes had its limits and hoping to escape this range to buy some time.
This meant that among the undead hierarchy, specifically among the most powerful Ghost Kings, there were differences in opinion.
There was no true Undead King.
Unfortunately for them, Shen Hao’s detection range was far larger than these undead could imagine!
Moreover, it was also a circular area!
In this vast space, every movement of the undead, regardless of what it was, was under Shen Hao’s control.
In such a situation, whether they chose to flee or to fight back, they were heading down a path to certain death!
“Although their levels are a bit low, the sheer number makes up for it,” Shen Hao looked at his points, which were also rising significantly.
After making some calculations, it really seemed possible to upgrade the store to Level 26 by the end of this Trial.
Shen Hao was already looking forward to the moment of victory.
Meanwhile, on another side far from the Alliance, a group of about a dozen powerful Ghost Kings had gathered.

Each one emitted a strong presence, their bodies fully materialized, showing their “living” forms, with pale, bloodless faces that barely revealed their true nature as undead beings.
Every single one of them was a genuine Level 20!
The strongest among them was only a step away from the Extraordinary Third Stage!
However, these Ghost Kings, who should have been a source of terror for all living beings, were themselves engulfed in immense fear.
“They can find us!”
“This is not an ability that should exist at this time!”
“Our Catastrophe Army will be wiped out before it can grow.”
“There’s no hiding, no matter what we will be found!”
“That one is definitely problematic, in the last Trial, he could also easily locate the Blood Demon, and now his range is even more terrifying and more accurate!”
“We must counterattack!”
“That is a death trap, with that one there, we simply cannot fight head-on.”
“The only way to win is with an overwhelmingly large number!”
“….”
These undead were also under tremendous pressure.
They were born solely because of the Civilization Trial.
From the moment of their creation, they were imprinted with the rule to annihilate all living beings, a rule so powerful that it effortlessly suppressed their awakening memories.
It was like a newly born personality indifferently observing the past, detached.
All emotions, all actions, everything had only one purpose — to destroy civilization!
But they were not without emotions, nor were they without fear; they also harbored longing.
The rules of the Civilization Trial made it clear to them that if they won this Trial, they would be granted freedom and join the Civilization Trial as a newly born civilization!
This was the collective desire of all undead.
But now, this longing brought with it an even greater despair.
We will lose!
As the strongest among the undead, they knew crystal clear that they could not win this way!
Because the human undead among them retained human memories.
They knew all too well that he was simply too strong, so formidable that they dared not even gather together, so formidable that they even refused to utter his name.
Even if they all advanced to the third stage, they would still be heading down a path to certain death in front of him.
Just like the Blood Demon from the previous Trial.
This brought them immense despair.
It was not supposed to be this way!
They were the embodiment of the Civilization Trial, and they should have been the ones to bring despair to all civilizations!
However, no matter what, they had to struggle.
“We must avoid a head-on battle and attack from behind!” one undead finally said, “This is our last chance!”
Yes, the current Undead Army had not yet matured but was enormously large.
Instead of being swiftly cleaned up in a game of hide-and-seek, they would go all out!
“To the Sky Spirit Mother Planet?” a Ghost King asked.
Right now, there were a total of 30 billion living beings on the Sky Spirit Mother Planet!
And a huge portion of them were not very strong.
Especially the Desert Tower People, whose mechanical enhancements might be strong, but were susceptible to their abilities.
Yet, a former human undead rejected this idea.
“The Sky Spirit Mother Planet is too close to the humans, it will definitely be heavily guarded. We go to Great Yan!”
At this time, Great Yan also had 240 billion people, and what’s more important, it was further from human civilization!
This choice left all the Ghost Kings in silence.
But after a short pause, they all chose to agree!
Actually, judging solely by the information on paper, Great Yan’s defense was even stronger than that of the Sky Spirit Mother Planet because Great Yan was an extraordinary civilization even more powerful than Sky Spirit Planet. Even the lowest echelons of society were free to practice cultivation, and the average strength of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty skyrocketed after the onset of the Civilization Trial.
Otherwise, why would it dare to bear the name “Immortal Dynasty”?
However, they abandoned it just because the Sky Spirit Mother Planet was closer to Human Civilization.
In fact, it was indeed the right choice.
With the help of the “Dominator Domain,” at a relatively closer distance, Shen Hao could directly transfer the many profound resources of the Human Mother Planet onto the Sky Spirit Mother Planet!
Take for instance the Life Mother Tree, or the Thunder God Cannon.
The many logistics resources could also be delivered more swiftly.
So, at this moment, the Sky Spirit Mother Planet, though seemingly weak, was actually a real iron barrel!
As time passed day by day, the Undead were making their final struggling preparations, and the Alliance was likewise sweeping through everyone crazily.
The Undead hid everywhere to no avail; even if they hid on other uninhabited planets, the Alliance still positioned certain forces on those planets, and there was even less space for hiding on those planets.
The Undead were being eradicated rapidly.
Two billion, 30 million, 40 million… The Undead Army, vast in number yet lacking in quality, was even easier to deal with than the previous two billion powerful Undead!
Finally, at a certain moment after a week, all the surviving Undead, one after another, vanished completely.
It was as if they had merged into the Undead World.
Observing this, Shen Hao immediately realized, they had shifted.
And it was not just a covert shift; it was a planned relocation!
“Is this their final struggle?” Shen Hao’s gaze instantaneously descended upon each Mother Planet.
The answer quickly emerged.
——Great Yan Mother Planet!
At this moment, Great Yan Imperial Capital, the vast city, was enveloped in formations that maintained the surface temperature while also digging a huge underground space hundreds of meters deep.
Although not as perfect and warm as the underground cities of Human Civilization, it was just as capable of withstanding the cold wave.
But then, countless Undead appeared densely!
The Great Yan Imperial Capital in the Undead World was also under strict surveillance, but the moment the cold wave was felt, shrill warning alarms blared intensely, covering the entire Imperial Capital, both the surface and underground, with the sound of heavy bells!
“Nine tolls of the bell, the utmost catastrophe!” Empress Xi Qing also heard the warning bells at the first instance, her complexion suddenly became grave.
The Imperial Capital was under attack, at the highest level of alert, meaning she, the Empress, was at risk of falling!
In fact, there was no need to verify, as the terrible yin energy had already begun to spread, and a massive horde of Undead rushed into the palace like a howling storm!
Having chosen Great Yan, they had to take down this place in the shortest time possible!
They must kill the Empress before he arrives!
“To the palace for protection!”
Shouts erupted one after another; countless civil servants of the Imperial Capital ignored the rising ocean of Undead within the city and madly rushed toward the palace.
Even the civil servants in the Immortal Dynasty were no weaklings.
They too could call the Wind and Rain, and command the Thunder!
Those generals with astonishing vitality were then like Demon Gods on earth!
Military God Mu Zhan, hailed as a god of war, was also in the Imperial Capital at the moment, stationed within the palace.
Facing the howling powerful Undead, his blood energy even shot up to the sky, turning into a crimson giant, standing proudly in front of Empress Xi Qing.
Yes, the Analysis Department of Human Civilization naturally did not overlook the possibility of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty being attacked, and even considered the possibility of the Human Mother Planet being attacked.
Although there were no allied troops stationed there, the elite of Great Yan were also stationed within the Imperial Capital.
The Empress herself was no weakling.
Actually, she was the strongest of this civilization!
In the end, so-called strategic conspiracies still had to be compared to real strength!
Accompanied by a clear and unmistakable phoenix cry, a sea of flames rose into the sky, turning into a massive fire phoenix that soared overhead, sweeping away the surging coldness and invigorating all the soldiers and civil and military officials who were rushing to the scene in madness!
“Truly taking Great Yan for a soft persimmon,” Empress Xi Qing sneered, her hands clasping a golden imperial sword as she looked out over the swarming Undead, her voice booming, “Form up the formation!”
As her words fell, 30 million soldiers of the Forbidden Army roared in unison, with their spiritual power converging wildly, transforming into divine beasts, roaring at the hordes of Undead in the sky.
The first wave of Undead instantly disintegrated and dissipated!
The Great Yan Imperial Capital, was not so easy to take down.
However, the resolve of the Undead was equally astonishing.
The moment the military formation was activated, whether it was Empress Xi Qing, Military God Mu Zhan, or the other civil and military officials, all their expressions subtly changed.
Because a more powerful yin energy was rising!
Compared to before, there was not much change in numbers, but the quality was incomparable!
Those were third stage Ghost Kings!
In this period, exactly three Ghost Kings had successfully advanced to the third stage, which was the result of 50 billion Undead delaying as a price. In addition, nearly a hundred Ghost Kings, including a dozen that had reached Level 20, launched an attack simultaneously at this moment!
The surging yin energy formed huge hands pressing down crazily towards Xi Qing, where it passed, everything froze, corroded, and dissipated; even a touch of it was enough to reduce a Level 8 Soldier to ash!
