The cold wind howled, and the world was bitterly cold.

This year's end of the year is colder than usual, with people suffering greatly, and foreign countries have become a living hell, with only one in ten people surviving.

Even the remaining humans are barely surviving in various shelters, struggling to even maintain basic food and clothing.

Under such circumstances, even in China, which is relatively better off, research has begun to develop various nutritional supplements to replace food for the sake of people's livelihood.

This battle for survival between races has dragged on for so long, and the Heavenly Demons still show no signs of defeat.

It was as if these bizarre creatures that fed on flesh and spiritual energy could truly be resurrected. Under their frenzied offensive, China was gradually beginning to falter.

Just as the higher-ups of the Heavenly Demons thought, their numbers were vast and tireless, but humans could not keep up.

Even with all the supplies and recovery methods prepared well in advance, and the blessing of divine power through visualization, people will always get tired.

Moreover, as this world is constantly being eroded, the connection between the many grandmasters who manifest as priests and the heavens and earth is becoming weaker and weaker, and the blessings they receive are becoming less and less. Perhaps if they struggle to hold on for a while longer, they will no longer be able to use this ability.

Wang Zheng could also sense that as time went by, this world was becoming increasingly weak, and this phenomenon showed signs of accelerating.

No wonder those traitors abroad dared to openly defy the heavens and spread rumors that the destruction of Earth was inevitable, and that any resistance at this point was nothing more than a desperate act.

Moreover, due to the weakening of the will of Heaven, the Heavenly Demon generals active on Blue Star have become increasingly powerful.

Previously, those Nine Transformations Demon Generals could only operate near the exit of the cave, but now many of them have wandered directly to the vicinity of the city, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack and expand their gains.

In the capital alone, several grandmasters have been attacked and were already dead when they were rescued.

Wang Zheng originally wanted to use the peacock clone to drag the Buddhist forces in that parallel universe into the mess, but because the other party had other information channels, they had cleanly and decisively cut off all contact when the Heavenly Demons launched their large-scale invasion, for fear of bringing these natural disasters into their own world.

Moreover, because the other party only communicated in one direction and never left any clues as anchors, even if Young Master Wang wanted to use his abilities to forcibly break through space and drag them into the water, he had no way to do so.

The domestic situation is not optimistic, and Wang Dashao himself is not much better off.

Ever since he stepped in to help hold off the enemy while they were arranging their troops, he could feel that the trace of energy left behind by the Lord of Desire within him had been activated.

Although this wisp of energy was harmless, and was just like the mark ability he used himself, merely used for positioning, what was terrifying was that even with his current abilities, he could not annihilate this energy.

In other words, Young Master Wang is now being targeted by at least one Demon Lord. If he continues to be active, the Demon Lord of Desire might just show himself at any time.

Although the other party had not shown much malice before, and Wang Zheng did not know what their conspiracy was, no matter how he thought about it, it was definitely not something good.

However, he didn't tell anyone about it; he kept it silently in his heart.

It wasn't that he was so noble as to want to take the blame himself; it was just that Young Master Wang knew very well that his current strength was already in a completely different world from that of the grandmasters in the country, or even the avatar of that ferocious beast.

Even so, whenever he recalled the terrifying power of the Demon Lord, he didn't believe he had a 100% chance of winning.

If you can't handle it yourself, then no one else can help you much.

Perhaps only when the true form of that ferocious beast breaks free from its seal can it possess strength comparable to the Demon Lord.

Unfortunately, putting aside whether the other party will help, the key issue is that the monstrous beast clone has been missing in the void turbulence for over a year, completely losing contact. If they can't even make contact, how can they talk about anything else?

Moreover, if what the ferocious beast said earlier is true, there are still at least three years before the forbidden land appears in the world. But the key question is whether China, or rather, Earth, can really hold on until then?

Wang Zheng already knew the answer in his heart...

In the blink of an eye, winter passed and spring arrived, but at this time, there was no sign of the revival of all things on the blue planet. All that remained was devastation, and everywhere was a deathly gray and white.

Several more months passed, and Wang Zheng could feel that this world was becoming increasingly weak, while the energy within him was becoming stronger, and his sense of crisis was growing heavier.

At this time, almost all the leadership teams of the Imperial Capital Military Region were here, except for the Grandmasters who were still fighting outside.

These decision-makers are no longer rife with intrigue and backstabbing; now they are filled with worry and confusion about the future of Earth, and an immense sense of frustration over this hopeless war.

There was a time when they had hope of driving out these invaders, or at the very least protecting the safety of China.

Joining forces with the cave is one opportunity, and the first contact after the cave passage opens is another.

Unfortunately, for various reasons, I didn't manage to seize the opportunity.

Moreover, due to the one-sided stance abroad, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and China was also caught off guard and unprepared. It can only be said that the lack of preparation led to the loss of a golden opportunity.

Now that everyone knows that the current resistance is just a desperate struggle, and everyone is filled with worry, Li Guofeng, as the top leader of the military region, took the lead in expressing his stance.

"Gentlemen, we have not lost yet. Although the situation is very unfavorable for us, it is not without hope!"

I admit that I failed to seize the opportunity at the time and misjudged the strength of the Heavenly Demon. If I had taken the initiative to attack earlier, or been more aggressive the moment that divine phantom appeared and proactively blocked the entrances to the various grotto-heavens, perhaps all the difficulties would have been easily resolved..."
