Zheng Ya previously used the Four Harmony Tower's extraordinary treasure system, combined with Daiyu's interstellar spaceship to reach outer space, to break away from the official power of the Tower of Babel and influence the trajectory of the Hongli Continent, estimating that the world would be destroyed in more than ten years.
Converted to the Hongli Continent, this represents an increase of over a hundred times, equivalent to a thousand years.
Of course, this is just the data calculated by Hongli Continent after the official power of the Tower of Babel was used to change the trajectory of the continent.
Once the Tower of Babel officially removes the time-space power enhancement, it will become the current exile time, a ten-day space exile before destruction.
Although the Hongli Continent has existed for ninety years, the official power of the Tower of Babel has been withdrawn, accelerating the crisis of the continent's destruction.
This was exactly what Zheng Ya was worried about—that he had made a huge mess of things.
The remaining seven stand-ins sensed his guilt and advised him, "Master's breaking free from the enslavement of the Tower of Babel's mark has led to the accelerated destruction of the continent. It's not your fault!"
"Yes, this situation further demonstrates the wolfish ambitions of the Tower of Babel's officials!"
"This can be seen from the fact that the madwoman relentlessly hunts down her master's doubles one by one. She is ruthless and merciless, and no one who works for her will have a good time."
"I think the most urgent thing is to break the deadlock, forget about the crazy woman!"
“That’s right. There are twenty of us old brothers. From the moment we became the master’s substitutes, we were prepared to sacrifice ourselves. The master doesn’t need to worry about the lives of us old brothers!”
"For the sake of all living beings, my lord, you must pull yourself together and look forward!"
The stand-ins all offered their advice, which deeply moved Zheng Ya: "Don't worry, I know what's important. I won't act rashly and expose myself, eh?"
While they were talking, Wu Wei killed five stand-ins in succession, which angered the entire conglomerate.
The consortium members stationed on various satellite platforms activated their futuristic weapons, locked onto the weapon system, and opened fire: "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Twelve beams of spacetime energy launched a concentrated attack from twelve different directions.
Unfortunately, the distance was too great, and Zheng Ya saved costs by building satellites and used the savings to build interstellar spaceships, resulting in poor materials for satellite protective arrays, which reduced the power of the array weapons by about 70%.
The array weapon, which could have fired at speeds hundreds or thousands of times faster than light and hit its target at a speed that could traverse time and space, only achieved a supersonic firing speed.
This alerted Wu Wei to the danger in the air, prompting an emergency retreat: "Damn Zheng Ya, even if you develop satellite technology to monitor the world, the firepower you can display is only so-so, barely enough to swat a mosquito..."
"Crazy woman, you're dead, you big idiot. This is a lock-on attack, you can't escape..." The group member mocked the crazy woman through the virtual screen.
As Wu Wei turned around while running, he was startled by what he saw. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed twelve mechanical beasts that roared, "You bastards, dream on killing me! Die, all of you..."
With a series of booming sounds, the twelve mechanical beasts flew into the air and transformed into twelve martial spirits, mimicking their auras. They blocked the twelve beams of light, exploding in the air and sending smoke and fire flying everywhere.
An air-to-ground battle has begun.
This made Zheng Ya smile calmly: "We've finally stopped the madwoman's tyranny, but how difficult is it to save the world?"
"What our master lacks now is resources. Why not devise a plan for the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Yin to open the Dragon Palace Secret Realm? Perhaps we can seize a large amount of resources from it?" The direct descendants of the clan woke up one after another and offered their suggestions.
Zheng Ya only managed to awaken twelve of their five hundred-plus men, figuring they might know some secrets of the Immortal Dynasty, which suited him perfectly: "Oh, do you know anything about the Dragon Palace Secret Realm?"
"Your Highness, our ancestors were loyal descendants of the Zheng family of the Immortal Dynasty. They carried out and defended the mission of the Zheng family's direct lineage and knew very little about the secrets of the Zheng imperial power."
We know very little about the Dragon Palace Secret Realm.
But our ancestors once passed down a story about the Dragon Palace's secret realm, a storage room? The elder spoke frankly, revealing little of the inside story.
It seems that their ancestors were not involved in matters related to the Dragon Palace Secret Realm. Perhaps at some point they heard a few words about the Dragon Palace Secret Realm from the Zheng royal family, and based on the current situation, they gave their advice.
In fact, even without their suggestions, Zheng Ya had already set his sights on the Dragon Palace Secret Realm!
The Secret Realm is currently the main source of resources.
Hoping that everyone in the world will mine resources, then integrate and refine them, making them a meal for the four parties to eat after a short period of cooperation, has little to do with Zheng Ya anymore.
After all, Zheng Ya has already broken free from the enslavement of the Tower of Babel mark, and it is impossible for him to show himself and die for the time being. He has no choice but to focus his efforts on scavenging resources in the secret realm.
As for mineral resources, they can only be used to divert the attention of Wu Wei, the Supreme Emperor, and the Empress Dowager's forces, in order to seize the resources of the secret realm and save the world.
Having sorted out her thoughts, Zheng Ya nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I know what to do!"
Daiyu, you must set up the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams Heavenly Array within five days…
Due to the significant time difference between the Sihe Continent and the Hongli Continent, video chatting was not possible between the two sides, so Zheng Ya could only send video messages to Daiyu.
Daiyu used the science array system on the interstellar spaceship to reply with the power of time and space, which allowed her to catch up with Zheng Ya's instructions three hours later: "All twelve of our interstellar spaceships are going all out!"
Time is of the essence; we have no choice but to deploy our starships. Hopefully, we still have time!
"Remember, be careful and cautious. We expect you to create a miracle." Zheng Ya tacitly accepted their advice and decided to go all in!
Indeed, once the interstellar spaceships are deployed, the opportunity to return to the Hongli Continent to rescue people is lost.
On the Hongli Continent, the only option is to set up a spacetime teleportation array to connect with the Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Heavenly Array of the Four Continents and perform teleportation to save all living beings.
The resources involved, the obstruction from hostile forces, and the destructive attacks from the Tower of Babel are all unknowns, and Zheng Ya must overcome these difficulties.
Zheng Ya had no way to communicate the life-or-death situation to others.
However, through Daiyu relaying Zheng Ya's instructions, the entire conglomerate mobilized.
Information warfare, using satellites in conjunction with drones, with the primary mission of destroying Wuwei's institutional technology products, destroying Wuwei's information technology products, and launching an indiscriminate pursuit of Wuwei.
With the aid of the Tower of Babel mark, Wu Wei avoided the combined bombardment of satellites and drones, hid in a deep mountain cave to develop mechanical products, and then distributed them to relevant forces to carry out a devastating massacre against Zheng Ya's consortium and suspected allied forces.
The air-to-ground battles escalated into a global war, ushering in an era of chaos.
This gave the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Yin a golden opportunity, and they quietly moved to the East Sea: "Empress Yin, Wu Wei has gone mad. He actually joined forces with Sheng Xiang to slaughter people in the Dark Yuan Dynasty and launched a decisive battle with Zheng Ya's allies. In your opinion, is this true or false?"
"Old man, are you worried that they're playing a double act, creating an opportunity for us to open the Dragon Palace Secret Realm, and then seizing the resources within?" Yin Hou replied telepathically, though she was not sure.
The retired emperor replied hastily, "I feel like something's not right. Perhaps we should wait a little longer..."
"What are we waiting for? If we keep waiting, how will we ever have a chance to open the Dragon Palace Secret Realm?" Empress Yin was frightened.
Neither Wu Wei's display of power to dominate the wars and chaos of the world, nor Zheng Ya's ability to rally the people of the world to resist, could reach the heights that she and the Emperor Emeritus could attain!
A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage is very strong, but their magical power is not limitless.
With the mechanical beasts and satellite drones controlled by Zheng Ya and Wu Wei, they could wear down a Nascent Soul cultivator to death through long-range attacks.
