The Ninth Heavenly Ladder has entered a strange state, where the dead float and sink, waiting for something.

Rebirth? Or death?

They are beyond their control!

The cycle of reincarnation is extremely long, alternating in units of epochs, and Jiang Yuan can only try to shorten the time as much as possible.

But disaster still inevitably occurred.

As he was reincarnating, disaster struck China and even the entire continent of the Imperial Star; the Deep Sea Calamity officially landed.

There are 81 Water Cubes around the world, among which the Water Cube above Haicheng is the largest, with a side length of 1,000 kilometers, making it a veritable underwater world.

Sea creatures kept emerging from the Water Cube, and their numbers surpassed those of the entire human race on the entire Imperial Star in a short period of time. And this was just the beginning; a steady stream of sea creatures had already landed on the ground.

Meanwhile, sea levels are rising continuously, and the eighty-one Water Cubes around the world are pouring seawater outwards. Judging from this speed, it's only a matter of time before the Imperial Star becomes 'Mercury'.

As the starting point of the deep-sea disaster, Haicheng became the first city to bear the brunt. Waves of sea creatures landed in Haicheng from the sea and from the Water Cube, rendering the coastline, which had previously represented a solid defense line on land, useless.

The Holy Spirit Clan and the Demon Spirit Clan have closed their respective sacred mountains, announcing that they will not participate in this battle.

Taking advantage of the water, the vampires continuously expanded their blood servant forces, strengthening their position on the battlefield.

Other alien races also split into two factions: the land faction, led by the fairy race, began to organize forces to resist the sea race's invasion, while the sky faction, led by the winged race, remained neutral.

The most perplexing race is the Zerg, whose power encompasses land, sea, and air. As a result, they became the most indecisive race when the sea creatures invaded.

Of course, the human race suffered the most.

The Huaxia, Siberia, Dongying, Brahma Dojo, Stanzhen Kingdom, the Land of Exile, and half of the Black Continent on the Eastern Emperor Star were all ravaged, and the human population decreased drastically once again since the cataclysm.

Meanwhile, the United Continent, Odin's Land, and the other half of the Black Continent on the planet West will be submerged by seawater within a few days.

For the Imperial Star, a war between land and sea is inevitable; it's either fight or perish.

“The calamities of the past still linger, and the people are still struggling to breathe. With a command, we will bring peace to the land and cleanse the raging fire.”

"Natural disasters have struck, causing immense suffering and loss of life."

"Soldiers, it's time for us to step forward."

"Protect our land and protect the lifeline of China, drive the sea creatures back to the deep sea!"

The Heavenly Kingdom of China sounded the first horn of counterattack.

"I may die, but China must not perish!"

"Loyal souls may be broken, but our land must not be broken!"

"I may die, but China must not perish!"

"Loyal souls may be broken, but our land must not be broken!"

The roar of battle echoed through the city, as a million soldiers stood ready with their weapons at their sides.

In just six months, Haicheng has been transformed into the number one city on land, with most of the forces from all forty-eight security zones in China supporting it.

As long as Haicheng remains unconquered, China will survive.

Here, there are no civilians, only warriors who calmly face death, forging the strongest defense with their bodies.

Tianfu, the Divine Emperor Family, reclusive families, sects—any Chinese power had a presence in Haicheng at this moment.

If it benefits the nation, I will risk my life; how could I avoid it because of personal fortune or misfortune?

...

"Reincarnation, life and death, are fixed."

While the land was ravaged, Jiang Yuan was reborn in the deep sea.

The power of reincarnation burst forth with vigorous vitality, and Jiang Yuan's physical body appeared perfectly intact, while the entire sea race of the Silent Heavenly Ladder became his nourishment.

The deep-sea ritual came to an end, but his cultivation level was stuck at the ninth stage of the Supreme God Realm.

"Someone has used the profound mysteries of the deep sea to suppress my cultivation level!"

Jiang Yuan could feel that the bottleneck could be broken easily, but the power to break through was suppressed by several profound mysteries. Those mysteries were very familiar; they were the nine supreme mysteries he had seen in the Heavenly Ladder of Profound Mysteries.

"The answer must be right behind here!"

Jiang Yuan looked up at the last arched bridge, which was the Dragon Gate in the sea and the path to the Ancient Dragon Palace via the Ninth Heavenly Ladder.

For the sea creatures, this is a gateway to soaring to the heavens.

But for Jiang Yuan, this was a death trap, where unimaginable adversaries lurked.

The dragon girl who survived the last battle!

The Abyss Ancestral Dragon, who controls the eight supreme mysteries of the deep sea and possesses corresponding divine skills!

He didn't even know if going in meant life or death, but whatever the outcome, he had to go in.

The information transmitted back from the World Pulse indicates that the oceans have completely invaded the land, and the people are currently suffering a calamity. If he cannot retrieve the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, the entire human civilization will suffer an unprecedented blow.

Although the deep-sea disaster did not have much impact on Nascent Soul Realm experts, a civilization cannot be without the base of the pyramid, which represents the future of humanity. Perhaps one day, if these pioneers fail, the responsibility of continuing the flame of civilization will be handed over to these successors.

Therefore, the deep-sea catastrophe is destroying the future of a race, and he absolutely cannot allow the deep sea to wreak havoc on the land.

"Come on, no matter who it is, they can't stop me!"

Jiang Yuan calmly embarked on the road to the Ancient Sea Dragon Palace. Although his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm was temporarily stalled, he remained confident.

Above the Dragon Gate, the supreme mysteries from the deep sea continuously pressed against Jiang Yuan's body.

The seventh level's profound meaning of annihilation, and the sixth level's nine supreme abilities—abyss, deep blue, extreme ice, dark current, primordial water, vast marsh, and myriad sources—have all gathered at Dragon Gate, except for the profound meaning of the Tide Sound.

With each step he took, the red spider lilies quietly bloomed. Although Jiang Yuan was puzzled, he subconsciously thought that this was an ability he had acquired after reincarnation. Too many sea creatures had died in the Sea of ​​Annihilation, and their spirits continued to release resentment towards the Sea of ​​Annihilation. The red spider lilies were just the final manifestation of these resentments.
