As time passed,
many of the guardian armies had already headed for the Starry Sky Ruins, preparing to evade this world-shattering battle.
Of the other four ruins designated as shelters, while some Beast Tamers were present, they accounted for less than ten percent.
The majority of the combat strength had converged on the Starry Sky Ruins.
At the same time, as the Old Man had promised, most of the resources were also stored in the Starry Sky Ruins.
And with Chen Shu being the owner of the ruins,
it was clear that the Old Man regarded him as his successor...
"So many people?"
Xing Ling was a little stunned, looking at the dense crowd within the ruins.
However, despite the presence of hundreds of millions of civilians, there was no chaos. Everything proceeded in an orderly manner under the arrangement of official personnel, without any unrest.
In chaotic times, the most terrifying thing was the collapse of order.
But it seemed that humans had not encountered such a situation; it was merely akin to a mass migration.
Under the power of the Starry Sky Ruins,
tall buildings in a human style stood in profusion, doing their best to recreate the appearance of cities.
The power of the Starry Sky was inherently omnipotent, making it easy to establish human civilization.
Except for the sky lacking a sun, with brilliant starlight instead, everything else was no different from the former Divine Continent.
At this moment,
in an official building within the ruins,
"Minister Gu, don't we need to do anything?"
Fang Si and the others looked at Gu Lan, as no missions had been issued from above, and they were now a bit idle.
"No need, just wait quietly,"
Gu Lan said with a smile, looking at everyone. "You've been fighting for so long, rest well. Take a nap, and perhaps you can go home."
"..."
Everyone nodded and left without another word.
Halfway there, A Liang asked, "When do you think Chen Shu will finish his breakthrough?"
"It will probably take some time,"
Fang Si shook his head and said, "Breakthroughs at the King level are not easy to begin with, and his contracted spirit has no bloodline shackles. He might even break through to the SSS level with this opportunity, which will take time to complete."
"SSS level?"
Wang Jue was slightly taken aback. "This guy's strength is probably going to skyrocket again... Do you think there's a possibility that he can fight Legendaries at the King level?"
"That..."
Everyone instinctively wanted to deny it,
after all, everyone below Legendary was like an ant. The gap between King level and Legendary was not just an ordinary level difference, but a difference in life tier.
The two were like different dimensions, with no comparability.
Although the racial wars of the past few months were, in their eyes, a tempering of blood and fire,
any Legendary could have achieved victory if they had participated.
This showed the gap between Legendary and King level.
But upon thinking that he was the Fierce Bandit of Nanjiang, they were a bit hesitant to deny it, as this guy always liked to break common sense...
"Perhaps it's possible..."
Xu Xingxing stroked his chin and said, "But he's only just entered the King level, so it's a bit unrealistic unless he breaks through to the King level peak or Pseudo-Legendary."
"About that."
Everyone nodded, finding some agreement with this statement.
"Alright, let's all rest."
Before long, everyone parted ways and returned to their respective residences.
Due to the war, their nerves had been constantly strained. Now that the tension was released, fatigue washed over them...
...
At this time, on the Divine Continent,
the once prosperous continent was now devoid of any figures. Only an old man stood alone in the sky, gazing at the land he had protected for a thousand years.
"After this battle, I can finally have a good rest..."
The Old Man stroked the small yellow cat on his shoulder and, with a thought, issued a command.
"Meow—"
A fleeting yellow glow flashed in the eyes of the little cat.
The ground rumbled in various directions across the continent...
The teleportation arrays connecting the five major ruins were instantly destroyed by terrifying gravity, leaving no trace.
Even for Legendary creatures, searching for them would not be easy.
Clearly, the Old Man had prepared for the worst-case scenario...
Although there were no longer any exits, with Chen Shu around, the situation would not lead to everyone being permanently sealed off.
If Chen Shu were to fall, then humanity would have no chance of victory, and it would be better to live forever in the ruins...
"Still not coming? This is truly dragging it out..."
The Old Man's gaze sharpened, penetrating space, as if he could see the Fierce Emperor in the Dragon Abyss.
The Dark King suddenly appeared beside him, drawing in the dark elements of heaven and earth, instantly condensing into a dark spear!
Boom!
The Dark King's expression was indifferent. With a wave of his right hand, the massive spear above pierced through space and entered the Dragon Abyss!
At this moment, the various Fierce Emperors were busy suppressing their restless bloodlines for the Fire Emperor and the Demonic Vine.
The moment the spear struck, they had already sensed it, and could not help but become enraged.
Had the other side taken the initiative to attack?
Roar!
The Shark Emperor suddenly moved to the forefront, unleashing wave after wave of ten-thousand-zhang giant waves that collided with the dark spear.
Boom boom boom!
The forces of both sides continuously clashed.
The Shark Emperor was not weak, comparable to a Forbidden Mist Great Fierce. Naturally, it could block this strike.
However, as both sides were in different spaces, the Old Man did not expect to achieve a surprise attack. After all, Beast Emperors were not like Pseudo-Legendaries.
The reason for releasing this skill was clear:
it was to declare war!
"Arrogant!"
The Chaos Giant Ape was furious. A dark gray power surged from its body, completely suppressing the two Great Fierce bloodlines within the Fire Emperor.
The bloodline within the Demonic Vine was also suppressed.
The two Fierce Emperors had regained their clarity and once again controlled the berserk power within their bodies.
The Giant Ape asked, "How is it?"
"It's fine."
The Fire Emperor shook its fiery body. "There will be no more bloodline berserks."
"Me too."
The purple demonic patterns on the Demonic Vine were covered with lightning, indicating that the bloodline's agitation had also been completely suppressed.
"Since that's the case, let's begin!"
The Chaos Giant Ape stood up, its ferocious gaze fixed on the Old Man on the continent, filled with boundless battle intent.
The Fierce Emperors and Beast Emperors moved in unison, causing all the fierce beasts in the Dragon Abyss to tremble.
With such a terrifying lineup, the mere aura they exuded was enough to shatter any King-level fierce beast.
In a short while,
the Legendary fierce beasts, led by the Chaos Giant Ape, all arrived on Blue Star and headed straight for the Divine Continent in the distance.
Instantly, the entire Blue Star was shrouded in dark clouds. The beings upon it felt oppressed and even struggled to breathe.
The combined pressure of over twenty Legendary fierce beasts had already enveloped the entire Blue Star!
Soon, they crossed the Blue Star's sea territories and arrived ten thousand meters away from the continent.
This distance, for Legendary creatures, was but a moment.
The two sides looked at each other from afar. Despite their surging battle intent, they did not attack immediately.
"It's been a long time."
The Chaos Giant Ape at the forefront had a look of reminiscence in its eyes, as if meeting an old friend after a long separation.
"Little monkey, don't use that tone. It makes it sound like you're on my level..."
