Chapter 1831: Full-scale Defense
At the main control center.
“The basic construction of the infrastructure is already complete; the Soul Masters of the Blood God Legion, the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect, and the Battle God Hall are currently setting up the new Blood God Array to seal the exit.”
Yu Guanzhi nodded with a pleased expression upon hearing this. Everything was progressing in a positive direction.
Initially, they were being completely dominated by their enemies, but since then, the enemies had been forced back, and they could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Chen Xinjie asked, “After the Blood God Array is completed, will it be able to oppose the abyssal passageway if it reconnects with our plane?”
The question was directed toward Cao Dezhi. Over at the Blood God Legion, he was the main figure responsible for protecting the Blood God Array, so no one was more familiar with the array’s abilities than he was.
Cao Dezhi shook his head in response. “It won’t be able to completely shut down the passageway. The situation here is different from the one over at the Blood God Legion. The Blood God Legion has set up the array inside the passageway, thereby obstructing it at the source, making it very difficult for the abyssal creatures to come out, and even if cracks appear, they can be easily filled. However, this seal is being set up on our own plane. The abyssal passageway has disappeared, but it hasn’t been sealed, so if it appears again, a large number of abyssal creatures will still be able to rush out right away.
“Of course, with the Blood God Array here, it’ll be able to prevent the abyssal creatures from emerging for at least a short time, thereby giving us enough time to set up resistance and restrict them to this area. If you ask me, even if we have enough time to complete the Blood God Array, I suggest we still set up at least three more defensive lines surrounding the site. If they dare to return, we have to strive to set up the Blood God Array’s seal right on top of their abyssal passageway at all costs. If we succeed, we’ll be able to completely cut off this passageway.
“Currently, I’m actually more worried about the Holy Spirit Cult. We don’t know how many powerful beings of the abyss and the Holy Spirit Cult have been killed by the Eternal Heaven blast, but I have a feeling that Demon Sovereign won’t die that easily. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to lead the Holy Spirit Cult for so many years. On top of that, the fact that they were able to open this abyssal passageway indicates that they’ve already learned the abyssal plane’s coordinates, and I’m very concerned that they could open another passageway elsewhere.”“That is indeed a problem, but it shouldn’t be that simple for them. After all, they were only able to open this abyssal passageway with the help of the Blood River Godslayer Array, and at the very least, I would think that the Holy Spirit Cult currently doesn’t possess the power to set up another one of those arrays. What we should be doing now is increasing the intensity of the crackdown of Evil Soul Masters on the continent. As soon as one is discovered, they have to be killed right away; we can’t give them any chances to rise from the ashes again,” Zhang Huanyun said.
All of the military officials in the room nodded in agreement.
The Blood River Godslayer Array had left an extremely bitter taste in everyone’s mouths. Even setting aside the fact that over 10,000,000 lives had been taken to create it, just the losses suffered by the Western Legion alone were already extremely heavy.
Yu Guanzhi said, “I agree that we should set up more defensive lines as a precautionary measure. We definitely can’t afford to grow complacent just because the enemy has temporarily retreated. We’ll all submit a joint request to the federal government to send more resources here.”
Everyone else nodded in agreement once again.
Fierce Wolf Douluo Dong Zi’an was currently seated at the end position. Even though he had been stripped of his position as legion commander, he was still undertaking the duties of the commander position. After all, he had led the Western Legion for so many years already, and the troops of the Western Legion only followed his orders.
“Did Sect Master Tang go back already?” Yu Guanzhi asked.
Cao Dezhi replied, “No, he told me that he’s currently in seclusion; he must’ve gleaned something from the recently concluded battle.”
“That’s good to hear. Thank heavens the personnel from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were present on the northern front. Otherwise, we would’ve been in big trouble,” Yu Guanzhi said.
No one was in disagreement with this statement. Setting aside everything else, the Tang Sect’s willingness to bring out Eternal Heaven to destroy the Blood River Godslayer Array was a clear display of selflessness and nobility.
The vast majority of people were under the impression that Eternal Heaven could only be used once; only Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi knew that there was potential for the Tang Sect to use it again in the future. As a result of this knowledge, they were both treating Cao Dezhi with an extra modicum of respect.
The Spirit Pagoda representative present was Gu Yuena, and she hadn’t said anything this entire time.
Yu Guanzhi cleared his throat, and declared, “If no one else has any suggestions or issues to raise, then let’s end the meeting here. I’ll submit the request for more resources to the federal government as soon as possible.”
“Please wait, I have something to say.”
Gu Yuena suddenly broke her silence, and everyone immediately turned their attention to her.All of the military’s top brass were very much in approval of this new Spirit Pagoda chairwoman. Setting aside everything else, her extraordinary feat in keeping the Spirit Sovereign at bay on her own had left everyone with a deep impression of her.
The Spirit Sovereign was currently the most powerful abyssal creature to have appeared, yet Gu Yuena had been able to match his Divine Origin realm spiritual power, and that was astonishing to everyone.
Furthermore, it was important to remember that she was still in her twenties, and she was surely destined for great things.
Back when she had defeated Tang Wulin at the Joust For a Spouse event, many people hadn’t taken that outcome very seriously as they were of the opinion that Tang Wulin had most likely intentionally lost that battle.
However, only after the clash with the abyssal plane were they made aware of just how powerful the Silver Dragon Princess was.
She was so young, yet she was already a Limit Douluo with Divine Origin realm spiritual power; her future was truly limitless. It could be said that she and Tang Wulin were the two brightest stars of the younger generation, and this was why she hadn’t encountered any resistance in her inheritance of the chairwoman position.
Only under her leadership did the Spirit Pagoda have a chance of making a resurgence.
“Please go ahead, Chairwoman Gu,” Yu Guanzhi prompted.
Gu Yuena slowly closed her eyes, and said in a placid voice, “The enemy hasn’t left, and they’ll be back very soon, so prepare for battle at all times.”
The tone of her voice was very confident, as if she were stating a fact rather than a guess.
Everyone was quite surprised to hear this, and Yu Guanzhi’s brows furrowed slightly as he asked, “On what basis are you making this claim, Chairwoman Gu? Where is the enemy?”
Gu Yuena reopened her eyes and gave Yu Guanzhi a profound look. “I can sense that neither the abyssal plane nor the Holy Spirit Cult has truly departed. I don’t know where they are, but I’m sure they’ll return very soon; they won’t allow the Blood God Array to be completed, so prepare for battle.”
“Don’t try to spread fear and panic without any evidence!” Dong Zi’an harrumphed coldly in an angry manner.
He had been completely screwed over by the Spirit Pagoda. If he hadn’t heeded Qiangu Dongfeng’s advice, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. Thus, his temper immediately flared up hearing what seemed to be a baseless claim from Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena took a glance at him, and for some reason, Dong Zi’an felt as if he had been electrocuted as their eyes met. His aura was completely repressed, and this naturally hadn’t escaped the attention of everyone else present.
There was no shortage of Limit Douluos among these generals and admirals!
With the advancement of soul technology and better understanding of the human body, modern Limit Douluos were far more powerful than their counterparts of the ancient past.
However, in the instant that Gu Yuena had released her spiritual power, all of them felt a chill run down their spine, including even the quasigod level Chen Xinjie.
