The heavy fog of "Xue Long" gradually dissipated.

After Gu Nanfeng left the high tower, Mr. Gui and Mr. Xue stared intently at the core area of the Sky Sheath. These two wardens raised the alert level of the Tundra Prison to the highest.

Everyone was on high alert.

This state of alert and preparedness did not last long. The night was burned away by the dawn, and above the zenith, a majestic thunderbolt suddenly fell!

Boom!

The fog in the core area of the Sky Sheath was torn apart by the thunder, and the towering stone sword stood as straight as ever.

But the mist around the stone sword was swept away.

Faintly visible.

A figure in white was bathed in the thunder light.

"You...you got the Xizhu just like that?"

The Traveler's voice was full of disbelief.

In his plan, returning to his peak was not an easy task. The awakening of his true self was just the first step. Taking back the Xizhu and reforging the Fire Seed were extremely difficult.

So even though his soul had been revived, he still resided in the skin of the Tomb Ghoul.

He had plenty of patience.

Since he had chosen to "reincarnate" and cultivate again, he only had one chance. He would wait for the opportunity to mature and accomplish everything in one fell swoop!

The Traveler wasn't worried about someone taking the Xizhu in advance.

First, he had been extremely thorough at the time.

Second, the power contained within this Sky Sheath was not something ordinary mortals could resist. Even a Divine Seat wouldn't touch the wall of this stone sword for no reason!

But now...

His plan had been shattered.

The fog dissipated, and the white sleeves bathed in thunder light withdrew a hand from the Sky Sheath wall. In his palm, he held an "invisible" longbow. Countless thunderbolts washed over it, and snow-white lightning formed the bow's body, but in reality, the lightning was just a form of mental projection.

After obtaining this great bow, Bai Xiu's entire aura changed.

"This is...the Xizhu?"

Bai Xiu took a deep breath in a low voice.

Holding his breath and concentrating, this invisible bow was extremely heavy in his hand, requiring a firm grip to control it!

Bai Xiu slowly raised his arm, lifting it above his head to examine it carefully.

Lightning roared.

He suddenly drew the bow and nocked an arrow, instantly drawing it to its full extent!

An invisible arrow howled and condensed amidst the thunder, and thousands of wisps of gale gathered between Bai Xiu's pinched fingers—

"Rumble rumble rumble!"

In an instant, the entire Snow Cage was enveloped by wind pressure!

The Traveler, targeted by the Xizhu, changed his expression drastically. He subconsciously wanted to move, but the feeling of despair, as if locked by "fate," rose in his heart!

He knew that the Xizhu would not miss.

As long as the arrow was released, it would surely hit.

"You seem to be afraid."

Bai Xiu said calmly, "Don't be afraid. As long as you promise me to obediently make a soul oath, I won't kill you."

"???"

The Traveler's expression was extremely ugly.

Was this giving him a choice?

He had no choice at all!

……

……

The news of Bai Xiu obtaining the Xizhu spread immediately.

The high-level members of the Three Continents Alliance all knew about the movements on the Tundra.

Bai Xiu also brought another bombshell.

The "Traveler's True Self" who had awakened in the Tomb Ghoul's body chose to make a soul oath that as long as the Central City Fire Seed was fused, he would participate in the war to conquer the Tower of Origin!

Lin Lin and Lin Chou did not hesitate and immediately dispatched a Source Energy Craft to the Tundra...

For them.

The ascension of Central City was certainly important, but winning the war to conquer the Tower of Origin was even more important!

Over the years, the Queen's Furnace had accumulated a large amount of fire source.

Even if the "Traveler Fire Seed" was taken out, Central City could still maintain its ascension momentum, continuously radiating and supplying the surrounding city-states for several years!

Gu Nanfeng, who was participating in the funeral in Nagano, also decisively decided to take stock of the Sky Sheath weapons and immediately launch a general offensive against the Tower of Origin.

This decision was approved by Meng Xizhou.

Everyone was waiting for this day to come...

Now, the Traveler who had signed the soul contract, plus the newly promoted Guang Ming Bi Lei, plus Bai Xiu holding the Xizhu, and more than three hundred Sky Sheath weapons, all these trump cards added together formed a thick pile of chips.

The Three Continents Alliance decided to end it all.

They would no longer wait.

Perhaps sensing something was wrong, the war on the Northern Continent's Gubao battlefield suddenly became much more "intense." The Traveler's Tribe dispatched a large number of "Martyrs" to launch a large-scale offensive against the entire Northern Continent defense line...This level of offensive left the Northern Continent Army unable to spare any manpower, and the entire northern war zone became extremely tense.

But this could not change anything.

Due to the extreme strength of the Great Wall, the Martyrs' impact on other border fortresses was completely blocked.

The situation on the Gubao battlefield was dozens of times more intense, with more than 60% of the main forces of the three major legions concentrated there.

The more tragic the situation in the Northern Continent!

The stronger the Allied High Command's intention for a "general offensive"!

……

……

The Tower of Origin, this miracle land admired by millions, had been silent for a full five years.

A five-mile radius was designated as a restricted area.

The Tower of Origin no longer had "Divine Envoys." Before entering the Divine War, Qinglong had handed over all the management authority of Central Continent to Shen Hai.

Whether they were Crown Bearers, Divine Envoys, or Ten-Star Divine Officials.

The meaning of these people's existence was nothing more than to "manage" the lower-ranking transcendents under their command with their high-ranking transcendent status.

Shen Hai alone was an army of thousands.

It was connected to every transcendent equally and closely in the vast mental network universe. The Tower of Origin had lost the "hierarchy concept" originally established by Qinglong, because every transcendent here was directly connected to Shen Hai, but this connection exacerbated the invisible "hierarchy system."

The Divine Envoys' power had become very small, but their permissions had become very large.

They no longer had a large number of subordinates they could dispatch at any time as before, but they had the permission to unlock more than 70% of the files and computing power in the Deep Sea Zone.

The Tower of Origin was no longer the "Tower of Bones" in the real world.

But a towering tower radiating outward, existing in the spiritual world!

The owner of this tower was no longer Qinglong.

But Shen Hai.

After eleven upgrades, Shen Hai had not undergone a twelfth upgrade for a full five years...The reason for all this came from Gu Shen's "Lion's Awakening Release."

Without that release of the Lion's Awakening code.

Shen Hai would have successfully completed the full link with the five continents!

At that time, the computing power of the transcendent beings of the five continents would be aggregated through the Dead Sea Zone...It would undergo an unprecedented twelfth upgrade.

But now, this plan had been completely shattered.

After Gu Shen released the code, it only had time to link with Central Continent and half of Southern Continent, which was currently at war.

After ten upgrades, the computing power of each upgrade increased exponentially.

The twelfth upgrade was almost equivalent to the sum of the previous eleven upgrades!

To gather so much computing power, Shen Hai could only extract it from the spiritual network of Central Continent alone...Unfortunately, the spiritual connection rate of the entire Central Continent had reached 99%, but it was still slightly short of the total computing power for the twelfth upgrade.

A miss is as good as a mile.

It was this difference that trapped Shen Hai before the bottleneck of the twelfth upgrade.

However, this did not affect Shen Hai's transcendent existence.

After eleven upgrades, it had its own consciousness, wisdom, and emotions.

It was already a "transcendent life" in a different way!

Within the scope of Central Continent, as long as its spiritual network existed, it could descend its "will."

At this moment, in the forbidden area of the Tower of Origin, a figure in a black robe was slowly walking.

This area was strictly forbidden to enter.

The power of the Divine War fell from the tip of the tower, and a large amount of frost covered the ground. As long as a mortal stepped on it, their entire body would be completely frozen.

Three fire seeds entangled and fought!

Bai Shu's Daoliu completely disrupted the time flow mechanism within the Divine Domain of the Tower of Origin. No one could enter the battlefield.

But even without entering the battlefield, it was possible to peek at the battle situation.

Shen Hai stood quietly under the Tower of Origin. It could feel the "fire seed aura" emanating from the top of the Tower of Origin.

This battle was very fierce.

In the first two years, Qinglong's fire seed aura was once frozen by the frost, looking very dangerous.

It had to be admitted that Lin Lei and Bai Shu's joint efforts were very powerful, but unfortunately...this Tower of Origin was Qinglong's home domain. He was fighting in his home domain, with an almost endless supply of divine power. Outside the Divine Domain, there was also a Shen Hai that had completed eleven evolutions, responsible for maintaining the Tower of Origin's divine power balance!

As long as Qinglong's "fire seed aura" weakened slightly, Shen Hai would transmit a large amount of free Source Substance through the spiritual network!

The Divine Seat's home domain would automatically convert these free Source Substances!

And so...

The scales of this battle began to tilt.

In the middle of this battle, there was no suspense. Qinglong's fire seed aura became stronger and stronger, more and more out of control.

In fact, Lin Lei and Bai Shu had thought of this "ending" before entering the Sky Domain.

Of course, they wanted to kill Qinglong, but if they couldn't kill Qinglong.

Then they would hold Qinglong back.

After Qinglong's fire seed broke free from the "freeze," the purpose of this battle changed from "killing" to "delaying."

After the outbreak of the Divine War, Shen Hai would come to the Tower of Origin every day to observe.

Every time it came, it would try to approach the Tower of Origin with its spiritual body.

The area covered by the Divine War was filled with great pressure. At first, it only took a few steps towards the tower, and the "spiritual phantom" it condensed was crushed to pieces.

And a few days ago, it could already walk to the foot of the tower.

This shows...the Divine War was coming to an end.

Today, it successfully ascended the high tower. The originally magnificent Sky Divine Domain had finally completely collapsed after experiencing a "five-year" Divine War in the real world.

The halls, pillars, and decorations here had all been broken.

All that could be seen was devastation.

But Shen Hai knew that the ending of this battle was Qinglong's victory.

Because in the very center of the Divine Domain, there was still a cloud-shrouded throne.

Sitting on the throne was the towering figure of Qinglong, who sat lazily on the throne, as if he had never experienced a Divine War...There was not a single wound on his face, his robes were even brand new, and the aura emanating from him was still as unfathomable as the sea. But Shen Hai still noticed something different.

There was a deep fatigue hidden in Qinglong's eyes.

"How long...has it been in the real world?"

When the two met.

Qinglong's first sentence was to ask the time.

Obviously, Bai Shu and Lin Lei's tactics had completely worked. Qinglong, trapped in the Divine War...had been completely sealed off and had completely lost the concept of time.

Until the end of the war, he saw Shen Hai before he could know the information outside.

"It's been five years, Lord Qinglong."

Shen Hai's attitude was very respectful.

"Five years..."

Qinglong laughed softly, his eyes a little dazed.

Shen Hai noticed that two huge humanoid ice pillars were sealed in the Divine War Domain. These two ice pillars were wrapped in clouds and mist.

Bai Shu, Lin Lei! The two were in the ice pillars!

Wait, ice pillars...

This cloud-shrouded Sky Divine Domain was still filled with piercingly cold chill. Shen Hai stared intently, it boldly looked at the throne where Qinglong was sitting, and saw that Qinglong's knees were still covered with scattered cold debris, and it could no longer see below.

This was a "vision enchantment" personally set by the master of the Divine Domain.

Invisible.

Means it doesn't want to be seen.

Shen Hai didn't need to see. This information was enough for it to guess the reason why Qinglong was sitting like this to receive it...The lower half of the Sky Divine Seat's body was probably still frozen in the hard ice. The "chill" it had felt every day for the past five years was Lin Lei's source power. The killing move used by the two Divine Seats when they stepped into the Sky Divine Domain was to use their source power to confuse the "time" of the Sky Divine Domain, and to use a suicidal move to freeze everything here!

Indeed!

This was the best "delay"!

"I was actually delayed for a full five years by these two lunatics in such a stupid way..."

Qinglong exhaled quietly.

He reached out and rubbed his forehead, wanting to vent all the depression and irritability he had accumulated over the years!

This Divine War had actually lost its suspense long ago.

The two Divine Seats in the ice pillars were considered to have "failed the challenge" the moment they launched this move.

But the "clever" thing about Bai Shu and Lin Lei was that this layer of hard ice containing the power of the source was not only an attack but also a defense!

Qinglong had spent a great deal of effort to resolve it, but this was not the end!

If Qinglong wanted to kill them...then this hard ice would need to be resolved again!

"Shen Hai, I want to build a spiritual link."

Qinglong looked gloomy and looked at the black shadow in front of him. He issued his first order after ending the Divine War.

He wanted to see the outside world.

Shen Hai lowered its head, its eyes flickering with dense torrents of light, not knowing what it was calculating...

The spiritual link was established in an instant.

A large amount of information poured into Qinglong's mind, but Qinglong was not interested in any of this.

Sealed by Bai Shu and Lin Lei for five years, he now just wanted to see the scene outside the Tower of Origin, to see what Central Continent had become in these five years...

"Rumble!"

After the spiritual link was established, Qinglong heard a muffled thunder. He was stunned for a second.

The outside world was very noisy, very noisy.

Outside the Tower of Origin, dark clouds were densely covered.

Silver-white lightning traveled through the clouds, and the entire world was shrouded in low dark clouds, appearing dim.

Shen Hai remained kneeling on one knee.

It said softly, "Lord Divine Seat, it's...going to rain outside."
