Plane numbered d0627.
This was originally a novice plane that was being constructed and transformed by various realms.
However, since Jiang Yan unified the pantheon, the Church of Holy Light has taken over various planes, replacing the original system of issuing missions and training new lords and local forces.
Since the Abyss was sealed during this period, all realms were happy to relax and cooperated by transferring authority.
At this moment, in the northernmost part of this plane, there is a valley that is shrouded in dark clouds all day long.
A squad of well-equipped soldiers is patrolling cautiously.
This is the location of the sealing hub of this dimensional abyss passage.
After clearing away all other passages on this continent, under the constraints of the world's laws, if the abyss were to descend, this place would be the first to appear.
Therefore, over the past few decades, under the instruction of the Holy Light Church, a defensive line stretching tens of thousands of kilometers was established around the valley, with every inch of land covered by powerful magic arrays.
At the same time, they also built an enchanted city wall that was thousands of meters high and equipped it with ample war machines to surround the entire valley.
"The patrol missions have been getting more and more frequent lately, and we need to go out at least three times a day."
A soldier glanced at the mission panel loaded by the God-Making Sequence and took out a blue magic crystal rod.
This is a product of alchemical technology. It turns red and emits a piercing alarm sound when it senses abyssal demonic energy.
"Isn't this a good thing? The patrol missions are simple, and they give a lot of contribution points. If I save up for another month, I can hire a paladin to give me online lessons."
Another soldier grinned.
"I'm afraid the abyss is about to break free from its seal."
"Hey, isn't that a good thing! Those abyss brats dare to come, let them taste my improved Sweep the Battlefield!" A burly warrior waved his magic crystal longsword, speaking nonchalantly.
"That's right, I killed three monsters in the last illusion simulation!"
"I killed four!"
"I have seven!"
"I even slashed the demon god with my sword!"
The soldiers were all talking excitedly, each one more arrogant than the last.
Over the decades, Jiang Yan has initiated tens of thousands of combat simulations, and after each one, the memories of the battle would return to the minds of these people.
The beings in all realms have gone from being filled with fear and tension towards the abyss at the beginning to now being able to face it calmly, and even with some anticipation and excitement.
"Alright, stop bragging, especially you, Xiao Liu. Everyone knows that when you first saw the Fusion Demon during the simulation, your legs went weak with fear."
The leader chuckled and scolded, "Hurry up and finish the task. You'll still have time to change shifts and catch the Holy Light Church's morning service when you get back."
"Alright, Captain!"
Upon hearing this, the soldier known as Little Six scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
The others echoed in agreement and quickened their pace.
"The seal on Area A1 is intact, and the magical runes are undamaged..."
"No abyssal demonic energy detected..."
"Energy replenished, magic array operating smoothly..."
"Area A2 inspection complete..."
"Area A3 inspection complete..."
"Report to the captain: All areas have been inspected and no abnormalities were found."
"Praise be to the Holy Lord, it is another beautiful day."
The team leader couldn't help but smile as he looked at the "Completed" status displayed in the mission sequence and the contribution points credited to his account.
"Praise be to the Holy Lord."
The other soldiers also praised him sincerely, their eyes flashing with fervor.
"Let's go, call it a day, pack up all the detection equipment. Third brother, you better be careful when you put it down, these things aren't cheap, if you break them, it'll cost you your wife's savings."
The captain chuckled and scolded, then called on his team to prepare for the return journey.
"Hehe... Got it, Captain."
The third brother untied the metal box on his back and carefully placed the magic crystal rod inside. Just as he was about to close it, the originally azure blue rod suddenly turned bright red, and a piercing sound rang out at the same time.
"Beep...beep..."
Looking around, I noticed that at some point, wisps of abyssal demonic energy, filled with madness and disorder, were rapidly seeping out from the sealed passage, almost instantly destroying the warning array.
The captain, who had been relaxed, suddenly changed his expression. Without hesitation, he took out two one-time-use magic scrolls, "Wind Spirit Spell," and slapped them onto everyone, shouting, "Abyss Invasion! Retreat!"
Without hesitation, everyone took off running.
Although they were not afraid of death, such meaningless sacrifices were of no value.
Just then, in the center of the abyssal demonic energy, spatial rifts opened up, and more than a dozen hideous half-bodies emerged from them. A terrifyingly huge hand appeared almost instantly above the fleeing crowd and slammed down!
Lower-level demon god, spatial parasite!
boom!
The palm print pierced the earth, leaving a huge crater tens of meters deep, but surprisingly there was no blood.
"Interesting... Not only is the entire world reinforced by magic circles, but even some ant-like creatures are equipped with space-type items. It seems that the various realms have not been wasting their time these past years."
A goat-headed monster wielding a staff emerged from the demonic energy, emanating an aura no weaker than that of a peak high-level god.
It was none other than a strange, high-ranking demon god. It was also one of the few creatures in the abyss possessing a high level of intelligence.
Its eyes flashed with ferocity as it gazed at the towering city walls that seemed to reach into the clouds, and it let out a cold laugh:
"They're overestimating themselves! Destroy them!"
"roar...!"
Instantly, countless roars rang out, and a terrifying tide of monsters surged wildly out of the passage.
On the other side, inside the defensive fortress.
With a flash of light, the patrol team appeared in a large hall, and a silver-white sticker on their armor lost its luster and fell off.
One-time trigger-type spatial interception and transmission device.
This technological product, when faced with a fatal crisis, will automatically generate a momentary spatial obstruction and initiate a warp, teleporting the wearer to a pre-set location.
"Praise be to the Holy Light, praise be to the great God Jiang Yan."
The many soldiers who escaped the calamity couldn't help but praise them.
Although it has happened countless times in simulations, each time they survive a catastrophe, they become even more devout.
Only a benevolent god would be willing to equip such a precious item to ordinary warriors like them.
"Sir, we are a patrol squad from the Ninth Legion. The seal on the Abyss in Area A has been breached, and at least dozens of demons are leading the charge. They are spatial parasites!"
The captain, regaining his senses, immediately reported to the messenger standing nearby.
Almost simultaneously, several more beams of light flashed, and several patrol squads appeared on the side.
Without hesitation, they reported, "Sir, the seal on Area B has been broken, and a lower-level, strange demon god has appeared!"
"Sir, the seal on Area C has also been destroyed..."
"How could it be so much earlier than expected!"
The messenger's expression changed, and without hesitation, he took out a communication stone and quickly reported the message.
A moment later.
A resounding magic horn sounded.
One after another, magic circles lit up outside the city, spreading from the city walls all the way into the valley, their dazzling light almost dispelling the gloom in the sky.
Well-equipped legions quickly assembled behind the city gates, and a large number of war machines such as "magic crystal cannons" and "storm crossbows" were sent to suitable locations to begin charging and unloading.
One after another, mage towers floated into the air, and dense magical elements gathered there.
At the temporary headquarters of the Holy Light Church, a group of priests prayed devoutly. Soon, powerful figures exuding divine aura were teleported through the faith passage.
They flashed onto the city wall, standing shoulder to shoulder with the guards, gazing at the edge of the valley.
