“Is it…going to rain?”

Qinglong looked at the vast expanse of dark clouds outside the Source Tower, his mind uncontrollably replaying the tragic battle from many years ago.

His fingertips trembled slightly.

But his voice carried a mocking, sarcastic smile.

"In these five years, has Bai Xiu refined his own Fire Seed?"

"As far as I know...no."

Shenhai's voice was very respectful. "But a few days ago, a very strong extraordinary aura fluctuation erupted in the Tundra Prison. The outbreak of that extraordinary aura is related to Bai Xiu."

"Oh?" Qinglong narrowed his eyes.

He began to accept the information Shenhai transmitted to his mind.

Soon, this Divine Seat "understood" everything that had happened inland over the past five years.

Shenhai did not hold back anything. It controlled the Traveler race to sacrifice their computing power for itself. Although on the surface, this was a matter that violated the Supreme Seat's laws, the current situation...left no room for retreat. Both it and Qinglong had become a closely connected "community of fate" in these five years.

They rise and fall together.

"The East Continent has already begun to take 'tough' measures?"

Qinglong extended two fingers and rubbed his brow.

He looked at Shenhai with a gloomy gaze. The "phantom," condensed from the spiritual computing power of countless extraordinary beings, still maintained its kneeling, submissive posture.

"As we previously expected...the West, North, and East continents have formed a solid alliance in recent years."

Shenhai said in a deep voice, "Lin Lei and Bai Shu launched a Divine War, and the entire Five Continents fell into turmoil."

Speaking of this.

It sighed with great regret. "Unfortunately, in the end, it couldn't be 'peaceful'."

"In these years, I have built high walls along the coast of the Central Continent."

Shenhai paused for a moment and explained, "The number of 'Sky Sheath Weapons' in the Tundra region is estimated to be around four hundred. If they are determined to launch a final offensive, then these Sky Sheath Weapons are enough to 'flatten' the Central Continent on a physical level."

Qinglong listened silently, without refuting.

He was indeed a very arrogant person, confident that his strength was number one in the Five Continents.

But even the most powerful person has things they cannot do.

If Qinglong decided to use all his strength to expand the Sky Divine Domain, then covering the entire Upper City should not be a problem...if the Three Continents Alliance decided to target all the Sky Sheath Weapons at the Upper City, then he could try to use his Divine Domain to block this desperate, unsolvable blow for ordinary transcendents.

But if the Sky Sheath Weapons were dispersed.

Then it would be difficult for him to intercept them.

"Building high walls is to intercept the 'Sky Sheath Weapons'," Shenhai said. "If Gu Nanfeng decides to launch a general offensive, more than eighty percent of the Sky Sheath Weapons will be intercepted by the high walls..."

Qinglong frowned and asked, "What about the remaining twenty percent?"

"Unimportant."

Shenhai's answer was very rational. "We only need to ensure that the Upper City is safe enough so that the Central Continent can still organize a counter-offensive after being bombarded by Sky Sheaths. That's enough."

As long as there is war, there will be casualties.

The Source High Wall can intercept eighty percent of the Sky Sheath strikes...the remaining twenty percent, as long as they don't land on the Upper City, then Shenhai doesn't care.

"Heh."

Qinglong smiled faintly, his words full of sarcasm. "Is this what you look like after completing eleven upgrades? It seems you still have no 'humanity'."

Twenty percent of the region being hit by Sky Sheaths.

This was still an extremely tragic casualty figure.

But Shenhai didn't care.

This guy really has a "big picture" view, but this is not only an advantage, but also a fatal flaw.

In order to reach the final victory, Shenhai can allow all necessary sacrifices.

But Qinglong is not Shenhai.

"I want all my people to live well."

Qinglong said directly, "I have seen the data for the Source High Wall. Without my authorization, you cannot fully mobilize the spiritual power of the Dead Sea region. Now I give you this authorization. I have only one request: increase the interception rate of 'Sky Sheath Strikes' and let more people survive."

"...Yes."

Shenhai was silent for a moment, then obediently agreed.

"Also."

Qinglong's tone became heavy, and he extended a palm, facing upward.

"What about that...Wine Fire Seed?"

Fighting with Lin Lei and Bai Shu for five years, in order to ensure that the Source Tower could operate normally, he opened extremely high levels of authority to Shenhai, including the original gift of the "Sky Fire Seed" and the right to choose the owner of the "Wine Fire Seed."

Shenhai used the permissions granted by Qinglong to the extreme!

It used the origin of [Cloud Mirror] to create a total of four "Origin Experts" of the same level as Li Lie. Reno.

Although the strength after directly receiving the Fire Seed gift and refining the origin cannot be compared with the natural enlightenment of the Three Great Generals of the North Continent.

But wielding the origin is a unique existence!

But unfortunately...the owner of the Wine Fire Seed has not been born. Shenhai launched a "leader recruitment" throughout the Central Continent. As long as the talent meets the conditions, they can receive a wisp of the Fire Seed's dream.

For a full five years!

In the Central Continent, which has entered the transcendent era, no one has been able to tame this wisp of Fire Seed's dream!

"Swish."

Shenhai took out both hands.

The Wine Fire Seed bloomed with azure flames, like an opening lotus in the void.

Qinglong scrutinized the Fire Seed in front of him, without saying a word.

"Apart from Gu Xiaoman, there are no other transcendents in the Central Continent who can inherit this Fire Seed."

Shenhai sighed regretfully, "In five years, not even one existence who could tame the Fire Seed's dream has appeared."

"It's not that they haven't appeared...it's that it's impossible for them to appear."

Qinglong retracted his palm and held the Wine Fire Seed in his palm.

The azure brilliance symbolically resisted for a moment.

But under Qinglong's strength, these brilliance only flickered for a moment, and then immediately went out.

"The Wine Fire Seed has already recognized its master as 'Gu Xiaoman'."

Qinglong said lightly, "In this case, even if Di Jiu were reincarnated and reborn, he would not be recognized upon seeing this Fire Seed again."

"I see..."

Shenhai was very humble. Its database was all-encompassing, almost including all knowledge from heaven and earth.

But it knew very little about Fire Seeds.

At this moment, it turned its head and looked at the ice pillars on both sides. "Divine Seat, what should be done with these two?"

Bai Shu and Lin Lei's bodies were wrapped and frozen by the severe cold.

"Of course, they must be killed."

Qinglong said slowly, "Winning this Divine War took me five years...I will not give them even the slightest chance."

In these five years, what he did looked very simple—

Using divine power to dissolve Lin Lei's Great Cold Origin!

But in fact...it was not like that.

The two Divine Seats joined forces and first laid a layer of Four Seasons Wilderness in the Sky Main Domain, and then Bai Shu launched [Reversal] at any cost. Every time Qinglong urged his divine power by one point, it would reverse half of it back. During the process of melting the Great Cold Origin, the three people's spiritual power were constantly fighting in the Main Domain void. This battlefield seemed calm, but it was actually filled with smoke.

Now that he has finally won.

A shadow has even been left in Qinglong's heart. He has never been a soft-hearted person. He would naturally not spare such peerless enemies, let alone fantasize about enlightening them.

But the current problem is...Bai Shu and Lin Lei had long anticipated "defeat," and the two used the power of their origins to create a solid shell.

If Qinglong wanted to kill them, he would have to expend a lot of divine power again!

"How are you going to kill them?"

Shenhai looked around, a little confused.

"They have already lost. They have sealed themselves in the Ice Source. Even if I don't do anything, their power will be sealed up by themselves. At most, they are just two stinky and hard bones to gnaw on."

Qinglong said coldly, "Know that the ice in the world will melt. When I quell this war, I will throw Lin Lei into her own furnace...I want to see what her expression will be after she revives."

Shenhai lowered its eyes and asked seriously, "So...do you need me to conduct a selection for the masters of these two Fire Seeds?"

Qinglong chuckled.

So, that was what it was planning.

"You can."

Qinglong waved his hand and said indifferently, "Anyway, these two Fire Seeds will eventually return to a masterless state. It's not a problem for you to choose a master in advance."

Just as Shenhai was about to take the order and leave.

A loud explosion rang out from the top of the tower!

Its body shook.

The Cloud Mirror erected in the Divine Domain immediately transmitted an image of spiritual synchronization from the Source High Wall.

"...?"

After seeing the image, the corners of Qinglong's lips, which were still carrying a smile, gradually froze, and then his entire face became cold and stern.

...

...

Fifty heavy Source Energy Boats, arrayed in formation, gathered in the sky above the Inner Sea.

The sky was dim, and the raging waves were churning.

These Source Energy Boats were not far from the sea surface. In front of the rolling black waves, they looked like straight long swords, their tips pointing directly at the Central Continent...In the past, the Central Continent was an open port. The bustling city and bright lighthouses in the night could be seen from dozens of miles away. But now it was different. Weiwu towering giant walls had been built along the coast of the Central Continent. The gray walls stretched like a city, barring the Source Energy Boats from entering.

"This is Team One of the Investigation Corps, Captain Zhong Yuan."

"The Green Silver Cannonball attack test is over. It can cause damage, but the damage is limited. The assessed index score is 13 points."

The blonde man sat in the driver's seat.

Zhong Yuan looked expressionlessly at the high wall in front of him. Under the bombardment of the Green Silver Cannonballs, the Source High Wall only showed a slight dent...Where did Shenhai get the materials to build this high wall so solidly!

Red Silver and Purple Silver could not cause any damage.

Zhong Yuan's deputy, Yuan Yuan, asked in a low voice, "Vice-Commander, the Source High Wall has not yet launched a counterattack. When will the next test be conducted?"

In the mental link, a deep and powerful female voice came.

"Countdown ten seconds, directly use Black Silver Cannonballs. Note, this is not a test, but a formal attack. Don't worry about the counterattack from the Source High Wall. The East Continent's reinforcements are about to arrive... Feel free to bombard and pour out all the ammunition."

"Yes, Your orders!"

Yuan Yuan did not hesitate to relay the order.

Fifty heavy Source Energy Boats jointly welcomed the final countdown—

Ten seconds, so long, and so short.

Finally, on the dim sea surface, fifty heavy boats fired black rays of destruction together. At that moment, the earth-shattering sound almost tore the entire world apart. All the drivers' physical and mental vision turned silver-white.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Zhong Yuan, whose mental strength was strong enough, stared at the calculation panel.

The Black Silver Cannonball's test score was 74 points. Thanks to the generous gift of "Alfred" from the Initial Number, this was currently the top offensive technology in the North Continent. It had achieved a leading position in the attack on the Source High Wall!

The Source High Wall, standing alone like a cliff, was directly blasted open with a hole under this round of salvo!

It was also at the moment when the Black Silver Cannonball was fired!

The Source High Wall launched a counterattack!

Countless drones, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, surged from the top of the high wall. The drones' trajectories were very strange, as if an omniscient and omnipotent hand was pulling the threads, controlling every drone in the palm of its hand. Team One of the Investigation Corps launched a dense network of firepower strikes, but more than 90% of the drones completed "evasion" and then quickly approached, flashing red lights!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another across the sea, the sound waves roaring. After approaching the fleet, these drones directly detonated themselves!

"No. 47 crashed, No. 43 lost balance on its flank..."

The battle report was sent to the central control channel.

"Zhong Yuan, retreat."

The Vice-Commander's voice was very decisive. Seeing the scene of the Black Silver Cannonball piercing the Source High Wall, this attack could be considered a "great success"!

Next, allies from all directions in the southeast, northwest, and north would come with Black Silver munitions!

Main Boat No. 1 did not seem to hear the order.

Zhong Yuan's gaze was fixed on the end of the Black Sea, the hole after the Source High Wall was shattered... The Source Energy Boat he was in seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. The power pointer on the instrument panel had been raised to the limit. The boat's tail wing spewed out light and fire that was almost azure, but the strange main boat was just "stuck" on the sea surface.

A vast, terrifying Domain.

Locked onto the main boat.

"Shasha..."

Broken communication sounds rang out in the general control channel. The First Fleet began to retreat, but the main boat did not move. Under the self-detonating offensive of a large number of drones, everyone thought that this was the Captain's active choice of "rear guard" behavior.

"Captain..."

Yuan Yuan noticed Zhong Yuan's abnormality. He was just about to touch the Captain's shoulder when an extremely strong ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.

The next moment.

Yuan Yuan followed his captain's line of sight and turned his gaze to the end of the Source High Wall.

It was filled with black smoke, and the smoke was almost melted into one with the sea surface.

Black clouds were also clouds.

The broken and swaying clouds suddenly turned into a long, smooth mirror surface.

A figure walked out from the mirror surface.

The figure stretched out five fingers and clenched a fist at the Source Energy Boat where Zhong Yuan was located!

"Crack! Bang!"

A crisp cracking sound exploded on the sea!

The main boat where Zhong Yuan was located was directly crushed from a distance of thirty miles!

The main boat, which was condensed with the latest cutting-edge technology of the underground research institute, was crushed into a pile of scrap metal in an instant!

...

(There's more tonight.)
