Wu Wei, controlling a horde of mechanical beasts, attempted to trap and kill the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Yin, but was then targeted and killed by drones from a satellite-based scientific array. Enraged, he issued a battle order.
The mechanical beasts' ground network immediately relayed Wu Wei's battle order to all parts of the world. The mechanical beasts lurking in secret bases across the country quickly activated their engines and poured out of the bases, killing anyone they saw.
Zheng Ya's developed satellites and drones were used to launch immediate attacks, thus igniting a world war.
Under the cover of the satellite array, the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Yin escaped the range of the mechanical beasts controlled by Wu Wei, and were met by Tianyuan Shangren and other Nascent Soul cultivators: "Emperor Emeritus, the Northern Base has been destroyed by the mechanical beasts..."
When they met, they saw each other in a state of post-war destitution and exhaustion, and a sense of defeat filled their hearts.
At this moment, war and hatred seem to have become meaningless!
The meeting took place atop an unnamed mountain. Above the opposite mountain, a virtual screen floated, displaying footage of mechanical beasts slaughtering the most severely affected areas of the world.
The destruction of three secret bases, along with the massacre of cultivators, assassins, and decoys, triggered the nerves of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress: "Damn those interdimensional travelers, are they planning to slaughter all living beings and destroy everything on the Hongli Continent?"
"You unfilial son! I should have killed him long ago! How hateful!" The Emperor Emeritus nearly vomited blood in anger when he realized that the secret base had been betrayed by the Seventh Prince and destroyed by the mechanical beasts.
The three secret bases were deliberately revealed by the retired emperor to the seventh prince, the regent, to reassure him and encourage him to do his job properly.
With the secret base destroyed, even the most foolish Emperor Emeritus could deduce that Zheng Fan was the seventh prince, who had betrayed him by siding with Wu Wei and was now driving him to his death.
Empress Yin laughed: "Old man, look at the mess you've made, the good people you've chosen, the whole empire has been ruined in your hands, hasn't it?"
Are you just going to leave us to die like this?
"Empress Yin, what's the point of saying all this now?"
The most urgent task is to support Zheng Ya, unite all forces that can be united, and jointly resist the massacre army instigated by Wu Wei. Only then will we have a chance to survive..." The retired emperor decisively chose to pledge allegiance to Zheng Ya.
Master Tianyuan agreed with obvious delight: "The Emperor is right. According to the battle situation shown on the virtual screen, Zheng Ya's satellite and drone swarm defeated Wu Wei's mechanical beast swarm."
Theoretically speaking, Zheng Ya has an absolute advantage in the battle.
But look at the army of Wu Wei on the screen. They seem to feel no pain. They are all charging into battle as if they are dying. Something is not right!
Furthermore, it seems that the demonic beast army in the Dark Yuan Dynasty has been mobilized by Sheng Xiang to attack human towns and slaughter humans.
If we don't do something, all of humanity will be destroyed by them..."
"Your Majesty, shall we order the people of the world to unite and declare war?" The Nascent Soul cultivators all volunteered for war, leaving no other choice.
If everyone in the world were to die, what would be the point of their lives?
Having witnessed this situation firsthand, Empress Yin decisively kept silent. Just as the Emperor Emeritus was about to speak, a ripple appeared in the air to his left, revealing Zheng Ya's double: "Wu Wei has gone mad and released a gene virus to all living beings across the land."
You can think of gene viruses as zombie viruses.
Both humans and animals infected with this substance lose their consciousness and exist solely to devour all plants and animals in the world…
"How is this possible? Why are you transmigrators so cruel and inhumane?" The Emperor Emeritus roared angrily, asserting his sovereignty against defeat.
The stand-in was merely there to convey Zheng Ya's final ultimatum: "There's no point in yelling at me."
In the face of life, we are all insignificant ants.
"An ant trying to shake a tree, to defy fate and achieve immortality, one must strive and struggle. That's all I have to say..."
"Wait! You can't just abandon everything and run away! The world is engulfed in war, and you've contributed to it. You're trying to escape during the war..." The Empress Yin angrily chased after her and blocked her way.
The stand-in said disdainfully, "The real Zheng Ya is traveling the world to save people, but he will not appear in public to provoke that crazy woman Wu Wei into going mad, so as not to involve more innocent people in the disaster."
Or rather, Wu Wei is still somewhat restrained at this stage. His use of the gene virus to wreak havoc on people all over the world is merely a prelude to forcing Zheng Ya to submit.
This timeframe is likely not too long.
This means you have little time left to unite the people, resist Wu Wei's massacre of the common people, and build up the scale of the autonomous region. Goodbye!
"Damn it, what does he mean by this?" Empress Yin turned around and asked the crowd in frustration as she watched Zheng Ya's double disappear into the air.
The retired emperor sighed, "Alright, do as he says!"
Since we have no possibility of cooperating with Wuwei, let's not bother investigating what Zheng Ya is doing!
“I think that no matter what, we need to establish a stable autonomous region before we have the power to uncover their secrets?” The Nascent Soul cultivators echoed in agreement.
A battle between good and evil has officially begun!
At this very moment, Zheng Ya is hiding in the void beneath the sea, setting up a spacetime array within his supernatural mini-world in preparation for rescuing people.
The entire conglomerate mobilized to rescue and relocate those ravaged by the zombie army, gathering them in one place to await Zheng Ya's personal arrival for the rescue.
At this stage, the only thing Zheng Ya can save is to transfer them to isolated islands overseas so they can fend for themselves.
To completely save all living beings from slaughter in one fell swoop, the only way is to relocate to the Four Continents to avoid this catastrophe.
However, that would require the Sihe Continent and Hongli Continent to jointly establish a spacetime teleportation array.
However, it is not safe to build a spacetime teleportation array anywhere on the mainland of Hongli. Zheng Ya can only build the spacetime teleportation array in his own special ability world to avoid the pursuit and destruction by Wu Wei and the Tongtian Tower officials.
They were suddenly in a predicament, racing against time!
Zheng Ya has now intercepted the resources in the Dragon Palace Secret Realm. Even if he consumes half of the resources to advance his cultivation and evolve his supernatural power world, the resources he saves are enough to build three large-scale spacetime teleportation arrays.
Setting up a spacetime teleportation array was a simple matter for Zheng Ya, requiring only 100,000 units of spiritual energy, which he accomplished in an instant.
However, they can only connect and teleport after Daiyu establishes a spacetime teleportation array on the Four Continents.
This time ratio is 1 to 365, which would be decades later on the mainland of Hongli. Zheng Ya felt helpless and hoped that Daiyu would send good news soon.
"Beep beep, tap!" A Morse code message came through, forwarding a message from Earth, which greatly excited Zheng Ya. Jupiter strategy, interesting!
Just as Zheng Ya was pondering the telegram from Blue Star, in the courtyard of Blue Star's capital, they officially received the order from their superiors: the Jupiter campaign had officially begun!
Li Yunlong couldn't sit still any longer. He gripped the conference table tightly with both hands, propped himself up, and almost jumped onto it: "Why isn't Old Li among the Jupiter conquest team? This is too much..."
"Li Yunlong, do you dare to question your superiors? Do you want to travel the world?" The commander on the screen directly opposite the conference table was furious.
Traveling the world sounds like a dream job!
However, at the very beginning of the pilgrimage movement for all mankind, the phrase "travel around the world" already carries a lot of hidden meaning.
People from all over the world are making pilgrimages to Kyoto, a way of traveling the world.
Comparatively, global terrorist organizations and ambitious individuals are also secretly sabotaging pilgrimage plans and plotting to replace pilgrimage, which has become a huge malignant tumor that urgently needs a large number of professionals to travel the world to remove.
Li Yunlong knew immediately that it was the latter treatment, and muttered in frustration, "The commander is clearly bullying an honest man like me, not allowing me to fight on the front line of the pilgrimage. Who does he look down on?"
"Li Yunlong..." The commander was furious...
