Lei Xiao's voice was as cold as ice as he said:
"The Underworld Clan's reappearance on Earth has a clear objective—to hunt down the Star Lords! Everyone must be vigilant!"
He changed the subject, speaking in a heavier, more somber voice:
"To make matters worse, the continuation of the Water Era has caused sea levels to rise at an unprecedented rate."
“Those researchers from Zhongzhou,” Lei Xiao said, his tone tinged with barely perceptible sarcasm, “they even predicted that the rising water levels would slow down, but now it seems they were all wrong.”
"The amount of rainfall at sea exceeded our expectations!"
"Now, the waters have already reached beyond the Great Wall of the Central Plains defense line! At this rate, soon all the cities outside the Great Wall will be completely submerged by the rain."
"At this very moment, countless refugees are pouring into Zhongzhou from the Zhongzhou defense line."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a solemn expression.
Li Yu's heart sank. They had been migrating westward for so long, but they hadn't expected the water level behind them to continue rising.
The threat posed by the Water Era is far stronger than imagined.
But Lei Xiao continued speaking, his tone growing increasingly heavy:
"What's worse, the border guards also discovered an unprecedented and terrifying threat in the rising waters: a sea monster that has never appeared in rainy waters before!"
"Sea monster?" Li Yu frowned; it was the first time he had ever heard this name.
"Researchers at Thunder Bureau collectively refer to them as: Deep-sea monsters."
Lei Xiao described the situation of these deep-sea monsters in detail:
"These deep-sea creatures should have only existed in the deep sea, but for some unknown reason, they gradually adapted to the freshwater environment and thus moved to the shallows with the rising water level."
"Perhaps due to a lack of energy, these sea creatures' instincts are crystal clear—to land! To step onto land!"
Jiang Yue couldn't help but stand up and hurriedly asked, "How strong are these deep-sea monsters? How much of a threat do they pose to Zhongzhou?"
Lei Xiao glanced at Jiang Yue and replied with a serious expression:
"Its size, strength, and speed far surpass those of land-based beasts!"
"Once they land, the destructive power they will cause to the Great Wall will be catastrophic!"
"Current intelligence is limited, but based solely on the known battle situation..." Lei Xiao's gaze swept over everyone present, deep and thoughtful.
"The sea monsters are terrifyingly strong! Even the steel warships sent by the foreign races were easily torn apart by them!"
"Therefore! This meeting has two main objectives." Lei Xiao's voice rose, becoming resolute:
"To safeguard the peace and stability of the Central Plains, the primary task is to completely drive back those deep-sea monsters that are trying to break free of the waters!"
"Once they land, they will cause devastating damage to the people and cities of Central State."
"Secondly," Lei Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light, carrying an undeniable killing intent:
"We must eliminate those Netherworld races who descended from the spatial rifts!"
"Find out the root cause, formulate effective countermeasures, and completely cut off their access to us!"
Lei Xiao's words were like heavy lead, even the faint sandalwood scent in the air seemed to be diluted.
Upon hearing this, Wu Pojun and the others all wore somber expressions, their brows furrowed, filled with worry about the safety and future of Zhongzhou.
In contrast, Li Yu and his group, though their faces were solemn, did not show much fear, as if they were unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
Or rather, they weren't particularly concerned about the threat of marine mammals landing on land.
Li Yu even planned to return to Yangcheng and immediately set off to continue migrating westward, completely away from the rising waters and sea monsters, and the problem would naturally be solved.
Although they didn't care about the sea monsters, they all shared the same goal: to completely prevent the Netherworld Clan from descending before they arrived.
After all, the appearance of the Underworld Clan was intentionally aimed at all the Star Lords; they were coming for them, and there was a direct conflict.
However, these self-proclaimed geniuses became even more confident after their encounter with the Underworld Clan on the road, and were not worried at all about the Underworld Clan's counterattack as Lei Xiao had mentioned.
Apart from Li Yu and Lu Fan encountering Ming Yuan, who was truly comparable to a Star Lord, the other Star Lords easily resolved their crises and were unmatched.
They did not consider the Underworld Clan to pose a threat, and they did not even consider the great price the previous Star Lord had paid to completely wipe out the Underworld Clan.
Just as everyone was pondering, Lei Xiao suddenly spoke in an extremely serious and deep voice about the most important matter of this Star Lord Gathering.
"What I just said was on behalf of the official authorities. What I am about to say is on behalf of the First Star Lord."
As soon as he said this, all eyes immediately focused on him.
"The rise of the Central Plains dragon vein, the fundamental purpose of selecting the Star Lord—"
Lei Xiao's gaze was sharp as he swept across every face in the room:
"It's to confront them, to check and balance the Twelve Holy Thrones of the West!"
Lei Xiao's expression hardened: "We are natural enemies!"
"The Holy Throne is not only the enemy of the Star Lord, but also the enemy of the entire Central Continent!"
"The highest official directive from Zhongzhou is clear: whenever there is an opportunity, all twelve Holy Thrones must be annihilated! Leave no one alive, eradicate them completely."
“Those who have stolen the power of the Western gods have vowed to wipe the Central Plains off the map, and we, the Twelve Star Lords, are their primary targets for elimination!”
Lei Xiao no longer discussed the protection and interests of Zhongzhou.
Because it involves the inherent opposition to the identity of the Star Lord, this is no longer something that can be determined by personal will.
From the moment they obtained the Dragon Vein, a deep-seated hostility towards the Holy Throne was imprinted on the soul of every Star Lord, regardless of their personal will.
