This time, with Fang Xiu abandoning the border regions and all areas except for Shangjing City, he mysteriously advanced deep into Xia Kingdom. Although resistance was being put in place in various places, the battles were extremely difficult due to the lack of help from top experts.
In just two days, the entire territory of Xia Kingdom, except for Shangjing City, fell to the enemy, nearly two billion people died tragically, and only a little over one hundred million people remained in Shangjing City.
At this moment, Shangjing City was filled with grief and deathly silence. The people, looking at their compatriots who had died outside, had red eyes, but also felt a sense of relief—fortunate that they had arrived in Shangjing earlier, fortunate that they were originally from Shangjing, fortunate that they had relatives at headquarters…
The good times didn't last long. As the first day of the apocalypse arrived, a tidal wave of strange creatures began to assault the remaining Shangjing City. Fang Xiu used all his power to suppress the strange creatures, firmly protecting Shangjing City, and those low-level strange creatures were unable to enter.
Some high-level monsters were able to force their way through, but they were quickly dealt with by the spirit masters at headquarters.
The first day was easy, but the price of that ease was the near destruction of the country.
The next day, the number of high-level supernatural beings pouring in began to increase, and casualties began to appear in Shangjing City. Fang Xiu protected Shangjing City while resurrecting the dead, and was able to barely maintain the city.
But as the third and fourth days approached, Fang Xiu gradually realized something was wrong; the depth of Shangjing City was increasing!
In other words, the small boat he built was not floating on the surface of the sea, but was gradually sinking.
The consequence of this increased depth is that more and more high-level anomalies are appearing, and the lockdown of Shangjing City is becoming a sieve, with high-level anomalies constantly pouring in.
Although they were all eventually dealt with by the Spirit Masters at headquarters, don't forget that the population density of Shangjing City was very high at this time, and battles between high-level beings often had a wide impact, which resulted in a large number of civilian casualties.
A sense of despair was spreading.
On the sixth day, Zhou Qingfeng reappeared.
"Fang Xiu, it seems this isn't your first failure. I think I came to this timeline last time. What do you think about it?"
Fang Xiu did not answer.
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head helplessly: "The forbidden ghosts cannot protect so many people. I'm sure you've realized it too. The depth of Shangjing City has been increasing. This is because the forbidden ghosts are themselves strange and share the same origin as the other shore. You think you can rely on the forbidden ghosts to float on the sea? That's impossible."
Fang Xiu remained silent.
"Actually, you and I are the same kind of people. I also tried all the possibilities before I had no choice but to choose the path of the bizarre. I believe that after you try a few more times, you will make the same choice as me."
After Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, he disappeared.
That night, the blockade was broken, and Shangjing City completely fell.
Despite this attempt, Fang Xiu ultimately failed to see the sun on the seventh day.
........
........
Death rollback, seven days until the invasion from the other side.
Fang Xiu sat alone in his office, deep in thought.
How can we make this sinking ship of the present world float again?
The failure of the ban on the supernatural means that saving the present world cannot rely on the power of the supernatural, because the supernatural and the other world share the same origin.
The problem is, besides this strange power, whose power can we rely on? Gods and immortals?
But there was no divine response.
With this in mind, he decided to make a trip to the other side.
He wants to become stronger! Strong enough!
Since it's impossible to break through to the sixth rank in this world, then go to the other shore to break through. Since the power of immortals and gods cannot save the world, then rely on your own power.
With this thought in mind, Fang Xiu's figure disappeared from the spot. After merging with the forbidden ghost once again, he went to the other side through the spatial node.
......
......
the other side.
Darkness and whiteness, devastation and deathly silence—this is the main theme of the other shore.
A layer of hazy fog filled the air, making everything seem unreal, like looking at flowers through a mist.
And then there is the endless strangeness.
This was Fang Xiu's second time visiting the other shore. The scene was no different from the first time he had seen it. If there was any difference, it was that this time the scene was even more bizarre.
The strange creatures were clearly drawn to something, rushing frantically towards the spatial rift behind him; it was the aura of a living person that attracted them.
Fang Xiu ignored these strange phenomena, because there were no end to them. What he needed to do now was to find a way to become stronger, to become strong enough.
He braved these strange occurrences and walked deeper into the other side. Without the burdens of the present world and without having to spare any effort to protect the people, he could wander on the other side almost effortlessly.
He kept walking, trying to find some high-level, strange items to refine, one hour, two hours...
He didn't know how far he had gone. The scenery around him seemed to never change; it was always gray fog and eeriness, with no landmarks to refer to.
In the fifth hour, he finally encountered a sixth-tier monster.
It was a human-headed monster, with one human head after another on its thin, emaciated body, and those heads were constantly growing from its neck, like marbles or balls, densely gushing out from its neck.
If I had to describe it, it's like the hydrogen balloons sold on the street, with countless strings held in my hand, and the hydrogen balloons on top constantly swaying in the wind, all crowded together.
When Fang Xiu discovered the Headless Ghost, the Headless Ghost also discovered him. Countless heads dripped saliva from their mouths, their faces indescribably ferocious.
It opened its countless gaping maws and charged towards Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu gazed at it calmly, and then...
"Holy Eye, Open!"
