Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 58: Preparing for the Ninth Level Oasis, Xinhuo's Strongest Lineup
The business of the Burning Chamber of Commerce has now spread across the Broken Sea.
An Oasis helmsman discovered that he could even buy a mythical puppet, the Radiant Blade, here. If he had one of these puppets, he could almost ensure the survival of the Oasis for thousands of years.
Even Bai Laizemon was envious when he saw it.
The inheritance of the Falling Star City may also be interrupted. If a mythical puppet can be left in the royal family, there will be a guarantee of safety.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of buying it.
Times have changed!
Disaster is coming!
It is not very rational to spend a lot of money to buy a mythical puppet. It would be better to buy more resources and cultivate a new generation. Who knows, you may cultivate one or two myths.
Bai Laizemon thought it was great, and took out the money he had saved over the years and went to the Ranhuo Mall to buy treasures.
What he wanted to buy the most was the root water that could enhance his potential, but...
"I'm sorry, but our Chamber of Commerce no longer has this kind of treasure. I would like to recommend the Pure Divine Brilliance to you, dear."
Bai Yansi spread her hands.
The Root Water Organization does exist, but it is no longer sold to the public. Only those with authority above the level of Fire Bearer are eligible to purchase it, and they can only use it for themselves.
Bai Yansi bought a set.
Bai Laizemon is not the first person who has come to their Chamber of Commerce to ask for the Water of Origin these days, nor will he be the last.
But, no means no.
Unless the demigods of the four overlords come in person, the Burning Chamber of Commerce will reluctantly do them a favor.
He also warned,
“This is the last one.”
In the past six months, new legends have definitely emerged among the overlords.
Fang You could vaguely see the influence of the invisible hand's destiny; it was very faint, but it did exist.
The possibility of Liujue's promotion to a myth may have increased by 3 or 4 percentage points. The more talented you are, the more favored you will be, and the greater the possibility of promotion.
But from a probabilistic point of view, it seems that there are still not many, but...
"In the past, only a very small number of Sixth Awakenings would attempt Myth Awakening, but now, the number of Sixth Awakenings who will attempt it will increase significantly."
Of course, the mortality rate is still high, but once you break through this chasm and advance to a myth, even if it is just the most ordinary myth that can only serve as a unit of measurement, you can still leap above the clouds.
This is the glorious era before the disaster.
Although there are also countless dead bones, losers are not qualified to leave their names and will not be noticed. Only those who pass the life and death test and become legends can walk to the bright place and enjoy the cheers of everyone.
This then triggered a wave of promotion enthusiasm, attracting more and more people with dreams to join in.
“That’s not a bad thing.”
"But it also means that the disaster is very close, and what we lack most now is time."
time……
Fang You thought of the treasure in the Time Pavilion.
The role of the Secret Realm of Time and Years was beyond doubt, but there were still two other abilities that had not been unlocked. He had tried many methods, feeding it divine energy, touching it with laws, knocking it... and so on, but there was no response.
It can only be put on hold.
"Owner……"
Xiao Huan grabbed the edge of the panel and jumped out. "There is news. Big news."
"We just received intelligence that a dominant force has been promoted to a ninth-level oasis!"
oh!
This proves that Sage Cangtu's prediction was correct, and that this force acted quite quickly.
"Which force is it? Do you have any specific information about their promotion process?"
"It's the Neverwinter Empire~" Xiao Huan said.
Fang You was not surprised.
The Northern Weird Realm is relatively weak among the four kingdoms, but the Neverwinter Empire is the only superpower in the Northern Weird Realm. The comprehensive strength of this empire is even greater than that of the Red Lotus, Ancient Moon, and Seven Stars, making it the second largest human force after the Central Holy Court.
The territory occupied by the Central Holy Court is not an oasis.
Xiao Huan sat on the materialized swing, swung his feet and said, "The Neverwinter Empire did not hide the fact that they had been promoted, and they seemed to be preparing to promote the second level nine oasis. However, the Neverwinter Empire has strictly blocked the information about the specific process..."
"It's not impossible to get this information, but, emmmm, it costs money!"
And it’s so expensive!
She looked reluctant.
But Fang You thought that the money had to be spent. It was reasonable for Neverwinter Empire to charge for intelligence. After all, Neverwinter Empire was the first country to be promoted to Level 9 Oasis. They took on greater risks, so there was no reason for them to contribute intelligence for free.
If Xinhuo Academy had not become one of the important allies of the Human Alliance, he would not have been able to find a channel to buy this information.
There are two pieces of intelligence.
The first is the conditions required to advance to the ninth level of the oasis;
The second is the disasters encountered during the promotion process;
Xinhuo naturally only bought the latter. Even so, Xiaohuan exclaimed, "It's too expensive. Damn it. I must double my money back from the Neverwinter Empire in the future!"
The information provided by the Neverwinter Empire was quite detailed.
The entire "tribulation" process lasted for three full days.
That’s right, the biggest difference between the catastrophe that caused the oasis to be promoted to the ninth level and the previous ones is that it lasted for an extremely long time, and the evil forces attacking the city were endless.
Even if the mythical being can destroy countless evil spirits with a wave of his hand, it definitely cannot last for three days. There must be enough strong men to rotate, and there must also be enough core soldiers to continuously resist the evil spirits.
If you want to upgrade to the ninth-level oasis, endurance is very important!
"We must prepare sufficient medicines and various supplies, and be prepared to fight a super-large war."
Naturally, the intensity of the siege was far greater than ever before, dozens of times more than that of the Six Jinseven.
From time to time, evil spirits would emerge from the oasis, making it difficult to deal with them.
The first oasis in the Neverwinter Empire to be promoted to level nine was not the capital, and during the promotion war, their entire super city suffered heavy damage and countless casualties.
During this period, the Neverwinter Empire experienced a total of 36 waves of "internal attacks", all of which were described in detail, worthy of the value of this intelligence.
Xinhuo has some experience in how to deal with this kind of evil that suddenly emerges from the oasis.
We have encountered the promotion of Spark Oasis from Six to Seven, Seven to Eight, and Burning Oasis from Six to Seven, but their scales were far less than that of the Neverwinter Empire.
Fang You’s response was to leave enough mythical combat power and defensive measures in the city.
For example, setting up one defensive ritual after another in the city... this is the key point.
Because, along with the emergence of gray fog, the evil spirits appeared directly inside the oasis city, and they ignored the defensive formation outside the oasis.
If one is not clear about this and relies on the city-protecting rituals for safety, one will surely suffer a heavy loss.
"Well, we have to build enough Dawn Lighthouses in the Spark Oasis. If one is not enough, we can build ten. If ten are not enough, we can build sixty-six."
As for transferring civilians in the oasis to other cities before the war?
The Neverwinter Empire clearly stated in the intelligence that it does not recommend it. But if anyone wants to try it, they are welcome to do so. Just remember to tell them the results.
The oasis and its people are interdependent.
The oasis provides a place for humans to survive, and humans provide popularity to the oasis, helping it to grow.
With a little thought, you can understand that if the oasis loses its humans, it may not be able to withstand the erosion of filth during the promotion catastrophe, causing the oasis to shrink, wither, or even be directly destroyed.
Therefore, when the oasis is promoted, it must not only not relocate the humans living there, but also move in as many people as possible.
This is all for Oasis, for the future of the empire!
Fang You looked through the intelligence and called Heidao, An Jianyou, Liufeng and others to discuss countermeasures.
Don't rush for promotion.
He found the description in the Neverwinter Empire's intelligence alone difficult to deal with. Moreover, Spark Oasis had existed for too short a time. According to past rules, they would face a more severe promotion war than other places.
Be sure to be well prepared.
"The safety of every resident of the Oasis must be guaranteed."
…
Spark Oasis has long been preparing for the promotion war, and now that it has obtained the intelligence, the preparations will be more targeted.
They built one shelter after another in the oasis, spending huge amounts of money to set up legendary defensive rituals on them.
This expense made Xiao Huan feel heartbroken.
But she also understood that this was a necessary expenditure, but watching the resource values plummet, she burst into tears.
The fire is still being prepared.
Having received intelligence from the Neverwinter Empire, the various overlords, who had already built their own oases into an impregnable fortress, launched attacks on the ninth-level oasis one after another.
The foundation and strength of the dominant force were revealed to .
After the Neverwinter Empire, the three overlords, Honglian, Guyue, and Qixing, were promoted one after another.
Then, four of the seven major countries of Yunhui also cultivated level-9 oases. For a while, the human world entered into a vigorous promotion war.
Fang You was not surprised to see this.
“With only one or two myths in charge, the Rapid Port of Shuiman Nation was able to withstand the attacks of several demigods with just the ritual formation. This shows how solid the oasis defenses of these overlords are.”
"Besides, the human overlords are not fighting alone. They can call in a lot of powerful reinforcements when they fight against the promotion war."
For example, the seven kingdoms of Yunhui have many connections between them. The royal families of the seven kingdoms often intermarry. For example, the mother of Princess Mia of Yuntu Kingdom is from the royal family of Gumu Kingdom. With this connection, the seven kingdoms can create many myths of close relationships.
The Seven Star Alliance, Ancient Moon Dynasty, and Red Lotus Empire of the Broken Sea are not as closely connected as the Seven Great Powers, but they still have marriage alliances.
So far, there has been no incident of failure to advance or Oasis collapse.
But it doesn’t mean there are no losses.
Among them, there was an accident in the promotion war of Shuiman Kingdom. It was unclear whether it was interference from the evil god's servants or simply bad luck, but during the promotion of the capital of Shuiman Kingdom, Oasis, it was attacked by a high-level evil.
The Shuiman Kingdom was not unprepared. They paid a huge price to summon a resurrected ancient god, and also sacrificed a divine weapon to forcefully kill the high-level evil spirit.
However, during this process, several eight-star evil spirits and more than twenty seven-star evil spirits appeared inside the oasis of Shuiman Kingdom.
This brought huge losses to the King of Water and almost caused the defense line to collapse.
In the battle of promotion, several legends of the Shuiman Kingdom fell.
Their capital is now a level nine oasis. However, they lost countless awakened people and important buildings, so it is unclear whether Shuiman Nation gained or lost in this battle.
After seeing the tragic situation of Shuiman Kingdom, the only three remaining kingdoms of Yunhui's seven kingdoms hurriedly put on the brakes. They felt that they had to make more preparations and wait until everything was foolproof before starting to advance. They couldn't afford to end up like Shuiman Kingdom, which almost destroyed the entire kingdom.
"There are two more good news~"
Xiao Huan shook his legs and said:
"First, the evil god camp is fighting more fiercely. According to eyewitnesses, wars between camps are constantly breaking out in the Central Ghost Realm. Many evil god servants have already fallen. Maybe the evil god camp will destroy itself, and we won't be in danger anymore."
This idea is too optimistic.
However, the war between the evil god's camps was much more brutal than the evil god's servants fighting humans. They really beat the shit out of their brains... He could prove this, he saw it through the perspective of Thousand Faces.
If Qianmian hadn’t maxed out his/her own life-preservation abilities, an ordinary myth like him/her would have died several times.
"The second thing is that during this period, more and more ancient gods have appeared and spread their miracles in some oases."
"According to common opinion, these ancient gods have revived , or have gradually recovered from their injuries and returned with strength."
This is indeed good news.
Regardless of the character of the ancient gods, at least for now, humans and the ancient gods have a common enemy.
Ancient gods are rare but powerful. All pure ancient gods are high-ranking beings. However, some ancient gods fall and some are injured. If an injured ancient god wants to recover, he needs the power of humans.
Many years ago, a human oasis reached .
The notarization ritual relies on the power of the ancient gods.
Of course, there are many unreliable ancient gods. For example, the ancient god "Lord of Ten Thousand Beards" who was worshipped in Xuye Township did not even show up on the night when Xuye Township was destroyed.
He had no ancient god reinforcements of his own, and Fang You didn't want to bring in an ancient god of unknown origin.
Seek help from other dominant forces? You can, but it's not necessary.
He is not ready to make Spark Oasis public yet. Not to mention looking for external aid, he is not even planning to call on the hundreds of peripheral legends who graduated from Xinhuo Academy.
Except for Yi Yue Luxi and a few others, he only called upon the strong men from his direct lineage to defend the city.
Master Mingdeng, Gou Ping'an, Roland, Shi Yunxi, Anna and so on.
The number of these powerful people who grew up with the flame and entered the realm of mythology was less than the previous ones, but there were still dozens of them! In terms of combat power, they were more than one level stronger than the outer myths from Yunhui Domain! They had already laid a perfect foundation in the first to sixth awakening stages.
Naturally, all the core members of the organization, including An Jianyou, must be present.
The same was true for Xitina, Xing Jinglei and others in the Burning Mall. As for who would stay in the Burning Mall? Yi Luoxi and others did not want to stay, so the responsibility of staying in charge fell on Bai Yansi. She was already a legend, so it was not a problem for her to stay in charge of a level 7 oasis.
The war preparations of Spark Oasis have gradually entered a critical stage.
The mythical strongmen who were carrying out missions outside gradually transferred their work, freeing up their hands and arriving at the Spark City.
There is no time to waste while waiting, so the myths began to practice. They are all elites trained by Hei Dao and will not waste even a moment of time.
Core players of the organization such as An Jianyou and Heidao have entered the sprint stage.
〔bite!〕
[Tip: The Apostle of Destiny An Jianyou has been promoted to the Eighth Awakening Demigod. Click the panel to view the details of the Apostle.]
[Hint: Apostle of Destiny Black Blade is promoted to Eighth Awakening Demigod, click on the panel...]
[Hint: Apostle of Destiny, Xitina, has been promoted to the Eighth Awakening Demigod. Click on the panel...]
They were promoted one after another.
Due to limited resources, now, only Liu Feng, Zhou Bao, An Jianyou, Hei Dao and Xitina are the first sequence of organization training, and they can enjoy the longest time limit in the secret realm.
Yiluoxi, Xing Jinglei, Liu Shang, Qianqiu and others are in the second tier of training sequence.
Their improvement was also rapid.
In particular, many of them have gradually gained entry to the power of laws that only high-level beings can wield, and their combat power has soared. Even if they have not yet reached the peak of their mythological path, they are still able to rival demigods.
I have more than ten generals. What do I have to fear from a few treacherous and evil people?
As the scheduled time approaches, the atmosphere in Spark City gradually becomes solemn. However, both ordinary people and awakened ones are full of confidence, which comes from past victories.
The fire of human inheritance will eventually dispel the gray fog!
Inside the city, Fang You measured the land, tested the defensive weapons, and began to check the data.
The permanent population of Spark City exceeds 30 million, and the awakening rate among these ordinary people is as high as 5%. This means that there are more than 1.5 million awakened people in the Oasis!
However, these people were just ordinary awakeners who had only received basic combat training, so Fang You naturally had no intention of letting them take to the defense line.
Those who are truly prepared for battle are the elite warriors transferred from Blue Star, various oases, and various domain strongholds.
They are all above the four awakened non-human beings.
With the Blue Star as a stable rear base and billions of people inside the Blue Star, as long as there are sufficient resources, Xinhuo can train countless four-awakening non-human elites.
The number of soldiers who came to Spark City to join the war exceeded 50,000.
There are 52 mythical strongmen in total, not including the puppet combat power.
Among them, Liu Shang, Yi Luoxi, Xing Jinglei and Qianqiu have mythical combat power.
The demigod masters include Fang You, Liu Feng, Zhou Bao, An Jianyou, Hei Dao, and Xitina. An Jianyou and the others have just entered the demigod realm, so they are definitely not weak among the demigods.
Especially An Jianyou.
It was true that she didn't have time to construct the demigod form, but when did she need to fight herself?
She prepared many trump cards for this promotion war.
Just like the black knife, the impact without the Dharmakaya is not that great, and he is not planning to construct a conventional Dharmakaya.
Only Xitina might have pulled a little.
Everything is ready, all we need is a fight!
"It's time."
