Gu Shen had "saved" all the members of the Chi Lang Church.

Not a single one left.

To ensure that all the "extremists" in the S12 district could go to the Pure Land, he searched the entire district again with raging flames...

Chen Mo didn't say anything after hearing the news.

He transferred Wu Yong, the second-in-command of the Cheng Xin Society, to cooperate with Gu Shen in the follow-up work in the S12 district... The East Continent transcendents informed the main city area that food would be distributed soon. Soon, a group of natives gathered in front of the Chi Lang Church's mansion. Those people looked at the East Continent transcendents wearing transcendent armor, their eyes half in awe and half in fear.

The strong ones of the "Chi Lang Church" were killed.

This was a good thing.

But would these guys who called themselves "East Continent Rescuers"...be even more terrifying than the church?

"Everyone, please line up in an orderly manner for 'registration' here."

Shen Li's expression was gentle: "The [Deep Water Area] needs to record citizen identities. After completing 'registration,' you will have an identity... Everyone can receive food."

From the crowd in the distance, a timid voice came: "Sir, identity...what is that?"

What was "identity"?

The few Cheng Xin Society transcendents brought by Wu Yong looked at each other. Before Nan Wan and Hua Zhi reconciled, they worked in the darkness under the capital for a long time and were not qualified to have "identities" for a long time, but that was as transcendents.

But these people in the S12 district did not have the identity of a "person."

In the Chi Lang Church, who they were didn't matter.

They were like... livestock raised in captivity.

Livestock were not worthy of having "exclusive names."

"..."

For a moment, the transcendents from the East Continent didn't know how to answer.

"Food...we actually have..."

A very low voice came from the crowd: "After taking it, do we still need to hand it in?"

Similar voices rang out in the crowd.

Gu Shen slowly stood out. He stretched out his palm, with a clear flame burning in his palm. The flame burned steadily, attracting everyone's attention...

The next moment.

The eyes of the residents watching in the S12 district became blank and dim. Their pupils gradually faded, gradually only leaving... a slowly burning fire.

They entered the dream.

...

...

Gu Shen pulled all the "onlookers" into the dream.

Sometimes, ignorant guidance is more effective than direct indoctrination.

For these residents in the S12 district, there were too many things to explain, and they couldn't be explained clearly. The easiest way was to use "dream guidance"... As long as the first group of people actually received benefits, there would soon be a second group, and a third group.

As time went on.

These people would naturally know that the East Continent Rescuers and the "Chi Lang Church" were two completely different organizations.

Identity registration and distribution of surplus grain took about two hours.

Gu Shen didn't rush to upload these people's "information" to the "Deep Water Area." He asked Chu Ling to block the data and create a closed spiritual sea area similar to an "array box."

This was related to Adam's "prophecy"!

So far, all the clues of the neutrals were cut off... Fortunately, he had already subdued and united all nineteen districts of Nan Ku. The next breakthrough point was the "Child of God's Favor."

According to the prompts given by the "Eye of Destiny."

The Child of God's Favor was waiting for Mr. Zhuang east of the S3 district...

Gu Shen didn't know what the "Child of God's Favor" meant, but if "Mr. Zhuang" set off, other "neutrals" might also set off, forming a convergence.

The only clue was east of Nan Ku.

The largest urban area east of Nan Ku was the "S12 district," which was the most likely place to find clues.

In addition to the "S12 district," Gu Shen also had to register the identities of the natives in the nineteen medium and large residential areas.

The awakened abilities of these people would be recorded in the Safety Committee's transcendent genealogy.

When you have no clues.

You can only perform "exhaustive search."

...

...

Three days later.

"Half of the resident information in the S12 district has been recorded... The growth rate has gradually slowed down in the past few days..."

In the closed information sea area temporarily generated by Chu Ling.

Gu Shen sat cross-legged, his fingertips swiping across. Thousands of files floated in the sea area. He slowly said, "It's not just the S12 district. The information entry in the nineteen districts of Nan Ku is very 'slow,' except for the 'S3 residential area.'"

In the S3 residential area, basically 95% of the citizens had completed their registration.

The reason was simple.

This was a faithless urban area heavily influenced by "neutrals." The influence of the Vias and Patier brothers could radiate to every corner. Everyone here knew that the "East Continent Rescuers" were much better than the church.

Of course, they were willing to cooperate.

More people were still watching.

"Exhaustive search is a very stupid method. To make it effective, you must be patient..."

Chu Ling's figure appeared in the sea area. She said seriously, "The remaining 'unregistered people' will come sooner or later, but it will take time."

"I can wait."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "As long as the 'neutrals' appear, it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer..."

In the past few days, the four continents had been "observing" each other.

Gu Shen was very sure.

The choice he prioritized was very important. There were very few "extremists" in the Nan Ku area. At least in the nineteen districts, only the S12 district was controlled by "extremists"...

The Source Tower should have already "gone crazy" with killing.

Faced with extremists.

The Four Divine Envoys didn't care much. They were even more extreme, but these people were ultimately a hindrance. Killing too many would always cause a backlash.

"Buzz buzz buzz--"

In the spiritual sea area, an emergency alarm signal suddenly came.

Chu Ling and Gu Shen exchanged glances.

"The land outside the Nan Ku outer ring is starting to tremble... This is the picture captured by the [Deep Sea]."

Chu Ling processed a large amount of information.

She raised her hand and projected the [Deep Sea]'s picture in real time. The sound of forest shaking was like thunder. Giant creatures after "transcendent mutation" were shuttling through the dense forest, including giant elephants nearly thirty meters high.

Sang Zhou Grotto.

Around "Tanya," it was divided into inner and outer ring areas.

The transcendents under the Storm Church preached in the inner ring. The terrain here was relatively flat and far from the "Ice Sea," so it was not affected by the source tide... The outer ring was the habitat of wild creatures.

In the Sang Zhou Grotto experiment, the [Deep Sea] set up many "gates" between the inner and outer rings, carrying out layer-by-layer zoning.

But for giant creatures.

These "gates" were actually nothing... Even if the Queen Birdwing Butterfly didn't submerge, it could break through the layers of electric nets and reach the edge of the "false world" of Sang Zhou Grotto.

Gu Shen's expression was gloomy. It wasn't the first time he had seen such a scene.

Earlier in the Doru River.

The Traveler Tribe broke through the Boundary Gate and arrived at the Styx. That picture... was even more shocking than now!

But there were also many of these transcendent creatures, densely packed like a tide. The [Deep Sea]'s [Sky Eye] couldn't capture them all...

At the moment when Chu Ling received the alarm, all the East Continent transcendents in Nan Ku received a warning from the [Deep Sea] in their spiritual seas.

"Disaster name: Beast Tide."

"Hazard Definition Level: Level A."

"Estimated arrival time: Countdown 3 hours 12 minutes 21 seconds."

The warning appeared, and the countdown began to refresh second by second. And with the change in the speed of the beast tide, the [Deep Sea] would conduct real-time assessment, budget, and update the approximate time.

Gu Shen instantly exited the state of spiritual meditation and quickly came to the southern barrier of the S12 district. On the high wall, he could also clearly feel the ground trembling, and dense black spots had appeared in the distant mist.

"What's going on?"

Shen Li's expression was pale. It was the first time he had seen such a scene.

The [Deep Sea] sent the overhead image of the beast tide to the spiritual sea of every East Continent transcendent.

Everyone could see this picture in time!

"Gu Shen--"

Bai Xiu entered the spiritual link: "I have received the alarm here, but I am currently located in the S1 district on the east side. The [Thunder Realm Walker] only captured the ground shaking and did not see the specific picture. What about your side?"

Chen Mo also joined the link.

Su Cha, Wu Yong, and every person in charge of the garrisoned urban area uploaded and summarized the information.

"This impact is likely to reach 'S3' to 'S12', covering ten urban areas."

"Estimated three hours, the beast tide is still accelerating, and the actual arrival time may be shorter."

Except for Gu Shen, it was the first time they had encountered this situation.

Fight?

How to fight?

Twenty transcendents in each urban area... They simply couldn't fight in this situation.

High-end combat power displaying domains could indeed achieve the effect of one against a hundred, but except for the "S12 district," the high walls in other urban areas were too fragile. Under this level of impact, they were almost like paper.

Even if the high-level transcendents here came forward, they couldn't stop these beast tides from launching an "impact."

Once they were crushed, ten urban areas and nine high walls would be broken.

"How could so many 'transcendent creatures' suddenly emerge?"

Chen Mo was puzzled: "What stimulated them? Why did they suddenly start going crazy?"

He also watched the image of Gu Shen and Bai Xiu killing the Queen Birdwing Butterfly.

Before coming.

Chen Mo had a psychological preparation... This place that was accepting testing experiments might give birth to a large number of strange "transcendent monsters," but he didn't expect that this first meeting would be so terrifying in scale.

"..."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes. Mu Wanqiu's inquiry rang out in the "Pure Land."

"Gu Shen, are you okay there?"

Gu Shen frowned: "I'm not doing very well here. Has the 'alarm' also been received in Bei Ku?"

"No." Mu Wanqiu was silent for a second and said, "It's peaceful here. But the [Deep Sea] uploaded the image of Nan Ku and reminded us to be wary of transcendent creatures in the outer ring."

The alarm wasn't only sent to Nan Ku transcendents...

However, the impact of this beast tide only occurred in Nan Ku.

"Captain Lu Zhe is heading south. He is preparing to cross 'Tanya' to provide reinforcements. However, no matter how fast he is, he may not be able to catch up with the 'countdown.'" Mu Wanqiu said seriously, "Can you hold on?"

Tanya...

This word moved Gu Shen's heart.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Tell Captain Lu Zhe that there is no need to trouble him. Although this beast tide is aimed at 'Nan Ku,' Sang Zhou Grotto is surrounded by the sea on all sides. Bei Zhou may also face a similar 'crisis' at any time."

"Are you sure?" Mu Wanqiu was still a little worried: "The scale of this beast tide is a bit scary. Although it is not as big as the one in 'Doru River,' but..."

"I can handle it."

A fourth-order transcendent could indeed change the battle...

But at this moment, Gu Shen already had a rough countermeasure in his mind.

"You're not planning to use 'authority,' are you?"

Mu Wanqiu reminded in a low voice, "There are countless eyes watching at this time."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The spiritual communication from the [Coronator] was cut off.

Gu Shen stood on the city wall of the S12 district, silently watching the tide in the distance.

Patier said that after the "S3 residential area" built high walls, they had not encountered too many crises for three years.

This meant that this was the first time there had been a beast tide impact of this magnitude.

And it was precisely because Mu Wanqiu mentioned "Tanya" that Gu Shen noticed that in the [Deep Sea] overhead view, the direction these transcendent creatures were impacting was not the "residential area," but the core of Sang Zhou Grotto located in the absolute inner ring—

The active volcano "Tanya."

The [Blessing of the Goddess of Destiny] was taken out by Gu Shen and held in his palm...

He conveyed his intention to go out.

The pendant immediately vibrated.

Giving a very firm answer.

"Do not go."

This beast tide had already formed a scale, and it was really difficult to stop it from the front.

Even a top fourth-order like Lu Zhe should only be able to "protect himself" at most, complete a certain number of kills, and retreat safely, but it would be difficult to protect the high wall barrier.

Leaving aside the "Divine Throne."

It was extremely difficult to be an enemy of ten thousand people on the front battlefield.

Sang Zhou Grotto didn't have a "title." If they wanted to defeat this beast tide, if the Bei Zhou army was allowed to drive source-energy boats, there would actually be a chance to do it... The Storm Church's weapons and reinforcements hadn't arrived yet. In this case, there was basically no hope of holding on.

Gu Shen watched the "black spots" and "black tide" in the distance that were gradually getting bigger...

In his spiritual sea, the [Deep Sea] connection prompt came.

From Middle Continent, Source Tower.

From West Continent, City of Light.

Gu Shen chose to "accept" expressionlessly. The next moment, the scene changed. It was still the same conference table, but the North Continent side didn't even enter the scene. The connection was initiated by the Suzaku Divine Envoy and the new Blessing Child Su Ye.

"Gu Shen."

The Suzaku Divine Envoy said gently and softly, "You chose a good place. Have you tamed those 'guys' in the main urban area? Now a new gift has been delivered to your door. How does it feel? I'm on the neighboring line of Nan Ku. If you need help, I can take action."

"..."

Gu Shen calmly looked at the Suzaku Divine Envoy. He remembered this guy's smile at this moment.

"West Continent has brought enough 'Holy Judges' and 'Source Energy Weapons.'"

Su Ye said bluntly, "If East Continent needs support, we can be responsible for the 'beast tide interception' in the two urban areas on the west side, but the reward is that after the interception mission is over, the City of Light will choose a neighboring urban area."

"Two."

Gu Shen said indifferently, "I accepted the 'spiritual link' not because I need help... I just wanted to see the faces of the two of you at this moment."

"Now you see it?"

The Suzaku smiled and said, "If you have backbone, you better not accept."

After saying this, Su Ye frowned and glanced at him.

In fact, Suzaku didn't have the intention of cooperating smoothly when he sent the link request—

But what could be more "physically and mentally pleasing" than seeing Gu Shen in trouble?

Since he entered Sang Zhou Grotto, he had not encountered anything smooth, but after seeing the alarm sent by the [Deep Sea], the gloom and irritability accumulated by Suzaku for several days were swept away in an instant.

"Are you done?"

Gu Shen smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the two of you. I refuse to 'cooperate.'"
