After the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden left, Jiang Yuan, who had set up the formation, sat atop the Sea-Stabilizing Needle and examined the invitation in his hand.
If what the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said is true, and the Sea King will attend this gathering, then this seemingly ordinary banquet must be hiding something deeper.
“Zhao Di never does anything meaningless! Perhaps this banquet will help us understand why the three thousand races have come to the Imperial Star?”
There are many secrets on the battlefield, such as why these races who descended to the Imperial Star from all over the universe answered the call to come to this alien land, and whether there is something here that attracts them.
Even more so, there are treasures that can help them walk the path of divinity.
Jiang Yuan's thoughts lingered on this point. Having reached his level of understanding, he was completely clear-headed. No matter how turbulent the battlefield became, the divine path remained unchanged throughout the ages.
Does racial war have anything to do with those who become gods? No, it's impossible. In fact, to reach that level, the significance of personal transcendence surpasses that of race. The creatures below are merely ants to those who have stepped onto the path of divinity.
This is why, even when the conflicts between the various races on the battlefield escalated to an irreconcilable point, those top experts could still calmly sit together and attend a banquet. Ultimately, all paths lead to the path of divinity. Once one becomes a god, all sentient beings can be abandoned. Gods and mortals are forever different.
The origins of the three thousand races are unknown. For example, the Holy Spirit Race and the Demon Spirit Race were originally the Holy Demon Race, which was comparable to the God Race. However, after a great calamity, the race split and began to decline.
He was considering whether or not to go and take a look, since if the companion god truly possessed some secrets of the divine path, he might lose the initiative.
"Apostle, I sense the great formation."
Just as Jiang Yuan was pondering, Gong Suxin, who was directing operations at the front lines, contacted him through telepathy.
Jiang Yuan put away the invitation. This matter couldn't be rushed. The most important thing now was the front line, which was suffering repeated defeats.
"Sister Suxin, how's the battle going?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"There are too many!"
Gong Suxin, who had always remained calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, changed her tone slightly. She sighed, "The entire coastline is densely packed with sea creatures. We repel one wave and immediately another is sent to reinforce it. Especially in Haicheng, there's a small attack every ten minutes and a large attack every hour. If this continues, the human race's manpower won't last long!"
Jiang Yuan naturally understood this point; otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to set up the great formation. If it dragged on any longer, China, with only a few hundred million people left, would collapse before the war ended.
"Is the City of Reincarnation currently stationed in Haicheng?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Because of him, the City of Reincarnation has not yet fully retaliated, otherwise there would likely be heavy casualties, since he is the only one in the entire City of Reincarnation who possesses the power of resurrection.
"Yes, we're currently on the defensive, waiting for the best opportunity to counterattack," Gong Suxin replied.
Jiang Yuan remained silent for a moment, then put the matter of the invitations out of his mind and said, "Alright, wait for my command! I will try my best to activate the formation, and then the human race can launch their final counterattack!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Suxin hesitated for a moment, but finally reminded her, "This morning, a sea creature delivered something to you. Do you need me to send it to you so you can take a look?"
"Sent by the sea race? Was it her?" Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment. At this time, only two sea race forces would send things to humans. One was the merfolk who maintained the balance between land and sea, and the other was the Abyss Ancestral Dragon from the depths of the abyss.
"It should be pretty close to being true."
Gong Suxin knew Leng Yue's secret. Jiang Yuan claimed to the outside world that he killed Leng Yue, but in reality, Leng Yue had simply fallen into the abyss.
“She can’t leave the abyss, it can’t be her.” Jiang Yuan didn’t want to drag Leng Yue into this vortex, at least for now he could handle it.
“It could be her clone. I couldn’t be wrong about the look in her eyes when she mentioned you. As for why she left the Abyss, if I’m not mistaken, it’s because she received an invitation from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, so she sent a clone with relatively weak strength into the world,” Gong Suxin analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded. If that was the case, it was almost certainly true. He asked, "What did she send?"
"I can't understand this jade slip either, so I'll pass it on to you."
After Gong Suxin finished speaking, she activated the compass, and in no time a black jade slip appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.
"Mastering the nine supreme mysteries of the Nine Netherworlds and the Sea."
Jiang Yuan immediately recognized the contents of the jade slip and also identified who sent it. Among all the sea creatures, only the Abyss Ancestral Dragon had mastered the nine supreme mysteries of the ocean.
"Why did she send this?" Gong Suxin only knew that Leng Yue had fallen into the abyss, but she did not know that she and Jiang Yuan still maintained an extremely special relationship.
"Perhaps, they don't want me to lose!"
Jiang Yuan smiled faintly. Leng Yue wanted to maintain her dignity and knew that he, being proud, would not ask her for help from the abyss, so she sent the jade slip in this way.
"Alright, Sister Suxin, I'm going to upgrade the formation. Once it's reactivated, I'll go to Haicheng to end this war." Jiang Yuan's resolve to win this war only grew stronger. This wasn't just the expectation of his oath, but also a turning point in the fate of the entire China.
With communication severed, Jiang Yuan focused all his attention on the formation.
The Sea-Stabilizing Pillar (Partially Unsealed)
Quality: Divine Artifact; Artifact Soul Skills: Stabilize the Sea, Boundless, Supreme.
Exclusive Soul Skill - Sea Stabilizer: Controls water sources with the nine supreme powers of the water attribute.
Exclusive Soul Skill - Boundless: Once one of the pillars of the heavens, possessing the weight of the nine seas and the measure of the nine heavens.
Exclusive Soul Skill - Supreme: I am the only one who reigns supreme in the world; all other artifacts are but mortal iron.
The Sea-Stabilizing Needle is the core of the formation. The Sea-Stabilizing Needle maintains its restraining power against the sea creatures, while the Sovereign effect ensures the invincibility of formations of equal strength. Otherwise, the sea creatures would try to destroy the formation in the same way as Jiang Yuan. Therefore, having the Sovereign effect is a necessary condition for the Sea-Stabilizing Formation.
