And on the other side of the earth, around the World Tree.

The situation has been deadlocked for two hours.

Ever since the giant insects surrounded Crystal City, the actions of the alien invaders have temporarily stopped.

But Ji Chaoyang and his men did not stop there. After all, the enemy was still the enemy, and they would destroy as many as they could. They had plenty of weapons in their hands, and coupled with their excellent weapons manufacturing capabilities, they did not have to worry about the weapons inventory at all.

So, after that, the World Tree began to launch missiles outward continuously!

Although the alien invaders' army was overwhelming, they were all relatively small aircraft and did not have strong defensive capabilities. Therefore, these aircraft were destroyed by the crazy explosions in the bombardment of the World Tree missiles.

However, this army was temporarily unable to cause damage to the World Tree that was wrapped by the giant insects, so they began to retreat.

They retreated to a location a hundred kilometers away from the World Tree.

A hundred kilometers away is beyond the range of their World Tree missiles. It’s not that they can’t hit it, but the accuracy will be greatly reduced.

Their missiles had traded off range for speed, and could only attack targets within a hundred kilometers. This had always been their defensive strategy, but now it seemed...

It seems a little bit insufficient.

As a result, the situation became deadlocked for a while.

This stalemate lasted for a full two hours.

And two hours is two hundred hours for people in the World Tree, which is more than eight days!

But they did not dare to let their guard down, because they did not know when the other party would attack again, so they could only keep an eye on the situation outside in batches and around the clock.

"Are you tired? Go and rest. I'll take care of this."

Qi Xuefei brought Ji Chaoyang a cup of tea.

"It's okay." Ji Chaoyang picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I'd better watch here. I'm worried. We have high-quality oranges. I'm very energetic now."

"No matter how energetic you are, your body can't hold on." Qi Xuefei frowned.

"I've been sitting here without moving, how could I be tired?" Ji Chaoyang said with a smile.

"..." Qi Xuefei was silent for a moment, then sat down next to him. "You... can already see tomorrow's future, right? Did you... see a bad future?"

Ji Chaoyang fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

"Really..." Qi Xuefei looked at Ji Chaoyang's somewhat gloomy face and said, "Tell me, what kind of future do you see?"

“…Actually, I don’t know whether the future I see is good or bad.”

Ji Chaoyang looked at the scene outside the World Tree on the screen.

At this time, outside the World Tree, there was a scene of devastation.

Black smoke was billowing in all directions. The jungle had been burned to ashes. The fierce forest fire continued to spread outward and had been burning for two hours without stopping.

This caused the outside of the World Tree to be shrouded in pungent smoke, and everything was covered with a layer of gray-black smoke.

"In my prophecy, the giant insect collapsed to the ground as if punctured, no longer able to protect the World Tree. Meanwhile, a large army of alien invaders invaded Crystal City and engaged in battle with the giant beast."

Ji Chaoyang said.

"My prophecy can now last for half an hour. In my last prophecy, they have already slaughtered all the behemoths, destroyed most of the World Tree's external weapons, and surrounded the entire World Tree."

Qi Xuefei's eyes trembled, and she let out a breath softly: "When did this... happen?"

"Tomorrow, around noon."

It's almost noon now.

"...According to your prediction, we can only hold on for one day..." Qi Xuefei pursed her lips, "One day..."

"For the World Tree, it's not just one day, it's a hundred days." Ji Chaoyang reminded, "I'm telling you this, don't tell anyone else. I don't want them to know that we will be defeated a hundred days in advance."

The explorers did not tell anyone about Xu Xin and his team's expedition, because this matter needed to be kept highly confidential. Otherwise, if the other party knew about it, the difficulty of implementation would be greatly increased.

Therefore, if other people knew that they would be defeated in one day, it would be equivalent to telling them that they would die after one day in the outside world and one hundred days inside the World Tree.

Then their morale would probably plummet to the bottom, and might even cause chaos.

The future that Ji Chaoyang foresaw was not unchangeable. If this situation really happened, the time they would be defeated would probably be even earlier, which was absolutely unacceptable. After all, their mission was to buy time for Xu Xin and the others.

If this news is really exposed, in order to avoid causing chaos, the only way for Ji Chaoyang and his team is to tell them their retreat and the news of the World Tree in the Sea to stabilize the morale of the army.

However, the World Tree in the Sea is now a secret that cannot be disclosed. Things like the retreat route must not be known to the enemy, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Moreover, once they know that they will definitely fail and there is a way to retreat after failure, will they still be as tense as they are now to face foreign enemies?

No, so, in that case, not only would they risk exposing their retreat, but the time they could hold out would probably be shortened.

So, after considering all this, Ji Chaoyang decided not to tell this news to those who were preparing for war.

"I understand." Qi Xuefei nodded. "I won't tell you, but... if that's the case, then we can only hold on for one day at most."
