Chapter 1833 - Overall Defence
Meanwhile, in the federal military command post…
“The construction of the foundation has been completed. The soul masters from the Blood God Army, the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect, and the War God Hall are building the brand-new Blood Gods Great Array to seal the exit.”
Upon hearing the report, the Central Army Corps’ regimental commander, the Divine Brush Douluo Yu Guanzhi, nodded in satisfaction. Everything was developing in the right direction. They had been under immense pressure in the beginning, but they had defeated the formidable enemy completely. They could finally be at ease.
Chen Xinjie asked, “When the Blood Gods Great Array is finished, will it be able to stop the abyssal passage from linking to us once again?”
The question was meant for the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi who was also present. He was the main member of the Blood Gods Army in charge of the Blood Gods Great Array. He had the most knowledge of the array’s effects.
Cao Dezhi shook his head and said, “It’s impossible for it to stop them entirely. The situation here is quite different from the Blood Gods Great Array. The Blood Gods Army placed the seal on the inside of the passage, which is equal to cutting off the source. It will not be that easy for the abyssal creatures to come out. Even if there were a gap, it would be blocked in time. However, the seal over here is on our plane. The abyssal plane has disappeared on its own, but it was not sealed by us. In case it reappears, it will still be able to channel out a massive amount of abyssal creatures.
“Of course, the Blood Gods Great Array will be able to block off the abyssal creatures within a short period of time at the very least, so we will be able to launch a full-scale counter and restrict them within this area. Judging from the current situation, if we can finish the construction of the Blood Gods Great Array, I recommend the setting of second, third, and fourth defensive lines in the surrounding area. If they are bold enough to come again, we will strive to place the Blood Gods Great Array directly on the abyssal passage itself at all costs to cut off their pathway to our world completely.
“Actually, we are most concerned about the Holy Spirit Cult now. We have no idea how many abyssal powerhouses were killed in the Eternal Heaven’s explosion, and we don’t have any details as to the Holy Spirit Cult’s situation. However, I still feel like the Holy Spirit Cult’s Demon Empress won’t just disappear that easily. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to reign over the Holy Spirit Cult for so many years. Their ability to open up the abyssal passage this time has proven that they have already mastered the coordinates for the abyssal plane. If they switch to another location to open up the passage, it will be the most troublesome for us.”
The Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun said, “That is truly troublesome, but I think it’s easier said than done. After all, the opening of the passage mostly relied on the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. I doubt that the Holy Spirit Cult will be able to build another great array once again. I believe now is the time to go on a major offensive against the evil soul masters of the entire continent. We eliminate every evil soul master that we discover so that they won’t stand the chance to rise again.”
The numerous generals on the scene nodded in unison.
The Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array resulted in too many problems. Aside from costing a million human lives, the losses in the Western Army Corps had left a deep impression on their minds!
Yu Guanzhi said, “I agree with establishing more defensive lines. Prevention is better than cure. We can’t be careless just because of the enemy’s temporary withdrawal. Let’s join hands and request that the Federation grant us more resources.”
The numerous generals nodded their approval in succession.
The Ferocious Wolf Dong Zian was seated at the furthest seat. Although his position as the regimental commander had been stripped away, he was still performing his old duties. He had been managing the Western Army Corps for so many years after all. Regardless of his current rank, the Western Army Corps’ soldiers would abide by his orders.
“Has the Tang Sect Master gone back?” Yu Guanzhi asked Cao Dezhi.
The Heartless Douluo replied, “No, he’s still here. He told me that he is engaging in closed-door cultivation. I believe that he has gained some enlightenment in this battle.”
Yu Guanzhi said, “Good. We were lucky to have Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect with us this time. Otherwise, we would be in deep trouble.”
Everyone agreed with his words. All else aside, the Tang Sect procured and utilized the Eternal Heaven willingly and defeated the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array. This had showcased the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy’s selflessness.
The vast majority of them thought that the Eternal Heaven was rendered useless after one use. Only Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi were aware that there was a possibility that the Tang Sect could use it again. Hence, he treated the Heartless Douluo more courteously than before.
Gu Yuena was also sitting among them, representing the Spirit Pagoda. She did not speak all this time, merely sitting quietly.
Yu Guanzhi coughed once. “If there are no objections or suggestions from the table, I shall adjourn today’s meeting. I will be submitting the request to the parliament as soon as possible so more resources can be mobilized here.
“Please hold on, I have something to say,” Gu Yuena suddenly spoke aloud, after being silent the whole time.
At once, everyone’s gaze shifted to her.
The numerous military moguls accepted the newly appointed Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master wholeheartedly. Gu Yuena left behind a deep impression in their minds when she singlehandedly fought the Spirit Monarch.
The Spirit Monarch was the most formidable of all abyssal creatures they had seen, and everyone was shocked that Gu Yuena’s spiritual power was equal to Divine Origin.
How old was she? She would certainly achieve great things in the future.
In the past, many people dismissed her even after she defeated Tang Wulin during the Joust For A Spouse Festival. This included members of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. They thought Tang Wulin might have yielded to her intentionally.
They only realized that the Silver Dragon Princess was truly formidable after the recent battle with the abyssal plane.
She was such a young Limit Douluo, yet her spiritual power was close to Divine Origin rank. She had limitless potential. She was the greatest soul master of her generation, on par with Tang Wulin.
This was also the main reason that there were no objections from the Spirit Pagoda when she was nominated to become the new Pagoda Master. She was truly too outstanding, and the Spirit Pagoda could very well rise again under her leadership.
“Please go ahead, Pagoda Master Gu.” Yu Guanzhi made an invitatory hand gesture.
Gu Yuena closed her eyes slowly and said in a calm voice, “The enemy has yet to leave. Moreover, they will be returning soon. We can’t be careless and we must be prepared for battle at all times.”
Her remarks did not sound like speculation. They were said with certainty.
Upon hearing her statement, the numerous generals on the scene could not help expressing their astonishment.
Be prepared for battle?
Yu Guanzhi frowned and said, “Pagoda Master Gu, may I inquire the rationale behind your remarks? Where is the enemy now? Who are you referring to as the enemy?”
Gu Yuena opened her eyes once again. Her large, purple irises were glowing with comprehension. “I can feel it. They are all here and they haven’t really left. Both the Holy Spirit Cult as well as the abyssal plane. I don’t know where they are, but I can feel that they are going to return soon. They won’t allow the Blood Gods Great Array to be completed. Thus, please be prepared for battle.”
“Stop spreading lies,” the Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian angrily barked. Seated furthest away from her, he coldly scoffed.
He blamed the Spirit Pagoda for his recent downfall. Had it not been for Qiangu Dongfeng’s advice, he would never have been reduced to such a state. Hence, he furiously refuted furiously Gu Yuena as soon as he heard her make such unfounded remarks.
Gu Yuena took a glance at him. For some reason, Dong Zian immediately felt like he was electrocuted when his eyes met her, and his aura was suppressed by her as well.
Naturally, the scene drew the attention of the numerous powerhouses. There were quite a few Limit Douluos among the many generals on the scene!
Following the advancement of soul technology and humans’ understanding of themselves, the number of Limit Douluos in modern times increased exponentially compared to the ancient past.
At this exact moment, every single one of the numerous soul masters on the scene had their own ideology. However, all of them felt chills run down their spines when Gu Yuena unleashed her spiritual power, including the quasigod-ranked Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie.
