August of the 17th year of the Cycle Calendar.
The two returned to the Federation in the real world, first visiting the woman's family and leaving behind a large amount of cultivation resources, before heading to the Federation's special restricted area, "Star Spirit Cemetery," to pay respects to her parents.
Then, with the help of the various realms, they returned to the Time Island and Tower of Inheritance of the Novice Trials.
It is worth mentioning.
Because time was frozen on the island, all the goblins whose abilities had been enhanced were still alive.
After consulting them, Jiang Yan opened a faith portal and teleported them back to Holy Spirit City, placing them under the command of the Holy Light Tribunal. He then further enhanced their abilities using their advanced skills.
In this way, after capturing heretics, they can be allowed to take away all of the other party's property, so that they have no regrets and do not have to worry about not having spent all their money after they die.
Meanwhile, on the tenth floor of the Tower of Inheritance, Jiang Yan spent a great deal of effort to reassemble the shattered souls of Shield Three and Shield Seven, bringing them back to life.
He had always felt a pang of guilt for the deaths of these two great swordsmen due to his carelessness and underestimation of their opponents, and now he was finally able to make amends.
After Jiang Yan used the power of faith to enhance their strength, he arranged for them to serve under Yaberic as gatekeepers of the Holy Spirit City Lord's Mansion.
This is a job that countless people envy.
After all, he was a gatekeeper in the city lord's mansion, but once he left the mansion, even ordinary gods would have to call him "Big Brother".
After putting an end to a matter on my mind.
The two then visited the former site of the 037 Novice Dimension, the Undead Ruins, the Holy Light Ruins, the City of Freedom, the 90th Floor of the Abyss, and the Land of Ruin, retracing their steps and enjoying a pleasant honeymoon.
January of the 20th year of the Cycle Calendar.
After their honeymoon, the couple returned to Holy Spirit City and began to focus all their efforts on dealing with the crisis in the abyss.
...
At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have returned."
The senior executives immediately bowed in respect.
"Yes, the biggest threat hasn't been resolved yet, we can't afford to waste too much time."
Jiang Yan smiled and nodded, then asked, "How are the preparations for the Abyss Attack Simulation Battle going?"
This was the task he assigned before he set off.
When they went to the ancient illusion and fought the abyss, the mechanical overlord in the divine kingdom recorded the parameters of the entire battle.
He plans to use this in conjunction with the God-Making Sequence to create a large-scale virtual illusion that covers all realms.
It is used to examine the overall strength of all living beings in the world today, and whether there are any loopholes in the established defenses when facing attacks from the abyss.
Therefore, before leaving, he deliberately left behind a backup of part of the Mechanical Overlord's consciousness.
"Holy Lord, everything is ready."
Analia, who was in charge of this matter, reported: "Currently, more than 95% of the creatures in the jurisdiction have been loaded with the sequence. After being debugged by His Majesty the Mechanical Overlord, they can connect to the virtual illusion for simulation at any time, just waiting for your command."
"Well, there's no time like the present, let's begin our first simulated battle."
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, then gave the order directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a nebula began to rotate, and the entire city lord's mansion instantly transformed, as if it had entered a vast starry sky.
"Creating a 100% realistic illusion, estimated time 1 hour 37 minutes, please wait..."
"Issuing mandatory mission notifications to all living beings through the God-Creation Sequence to enter a state of readiness..."
"Eliminating 376,200 potential logic bugs..."
"Illusionary scenario generated... To ensure accuracy, the participants' simulated memories are being masked, making them believe they are facing a real invasion of the Abyss..."
"Difficulty is being adjusted, based on the difficulty coefficient of 1 in the Ancient Illusion Realm. Current coefficient: 1."
"Simulation begins."
In an instant, countless worlds appeared all around, and one could observe the specific situation of each plane with a thought.
Countless warriors, under the leadership of the Church of Holy Light, are actively preparing for battle, and their faces show signs of tension.
At the same time, countless red dots suddenly appeared from various worlds, and the abyssal monsters officially invaded!
"It's the same as the simulation battles we played back in the Federation, but on a larger scale."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at it.
"Yeah, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Back then, you always picked me as your opponent in every class test, and you wouldn't let me win, which made me always come in last place." Li Miaolin seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but pout and gently pat the other person.
"Why didn't you let me!"
Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "I already told you to deploy ten times the troops, even against the AI you should be able to win, why are you still not fighting... uh... never mind, go look at those worlds!"
Sensing the dangerous look in the other person's eyes, Jiang Yan coughed and quickly changed the subject.
"Hmph, don't mention this again!"
Li Miaolin gave a soft hum and focused her attention on the simulation.
Unlike in the past when they crumbled at the first touch of the abyss, in recent years Jiang Yan has selflessly opened up the study of all divine arts and secret texts, arranged for the main gods and even the supreme gods to give online lectures, and spent a lot of resources to cultivate geniuses from various planes through the creation of god sequences.
The power of all realms today is more than twice as strong as it was in the past.
With the added protection of the defensive structures personally designed and built by Anubis, and the support of the war machines of the pantheon and the underworld, ordinary abyssal monsters were almost completely wiped out as soon as they rushed out of the passage.
Originally, the biggest challenge in guarding so many planes across the myriad worlds was logistical support.
However, under the invincible computational command of the mechanical overlord, useless losses can be minimized, and precise resource allocation can be achieved by taking advantage of the convenience of the faith channel.
These advantages are particularly evident in smaller, less aggressive regions of the world.
In less than a week, they organized a counterattack and advanced into the abyss passage.
However, the Abyss, which had been stunned by the attack, quickly realized what was happening and sent out a large number of demons.
However, unlike in ancient times, this battle involved many pantheons, and the number of high-level gods far exceeded that of the past.
In conjunction with Jiang Yan's Lord Skill - Last Stand, the Mechanical Overlord deployed its forces at near-maximum combat power to ensure that it could suppress the enemy on every battlefield.
On the macroscopic picture, large swaths of red dots in the peripheral areas have disappeared, while the main battlefield remains undecided.
—The main reason is that the "Abyss Demon Emperor" above all others is too powerful.
It transformed into its second form, almost single-handedly overwhelming hundreds of supreme beings from various pantheons.
Fortunately, Losia, who had just ascended to godhood, was no pushover either. With ten times the initial combat power, the "Holy War" which granted her immunity to all restrictions after evolution, and three times the speed of power accumulation, she gained the combat power to directly confront the Demon Emperor in less than a month.
Meanwhile, the gods, now free to act, led their armies in an attack, destroying the abyss passage.
Finally, they turned back and joined forces to kill the avatar of the Abyss Demon Emperor.
As the red dots disappeared from the entire starry sky, the words "Simulated Victory" appeared, and the scene changed back to the original City Lord's Mansion.
"Hmm...that's about what I expected."
Jiang Yan wasn't overly excited.
This time, the combat power being simulated is from the abyss of the ancient illusionary realm.
At that time, facing only one Holy Light pantheon, it was clear that the Abyss had not gone all out.
Compared to that time, this simulation, in addition to the improvement of individual combat power, also includes the complete Netherworld and the support of the pantheon.
If we still can't win, we might as well just surrender.
"Mechanical Overlord, how many times more difficult do you estimate it is for the Abyss to go all out now compared to back then?"
"Insufficient information to infer precise data, but it is at least 10 times higher, Master."
"Ten times...?"
Jiang Yan's pupils contracted slightly; the difference was even greater than he had imagined, but he had to give it a try no matter what.
Thinking of this, he gave the order again:
"Adjust the difficulty level to 10 times and proceed with the next simulation."
