The war reignited.
Li Jianguo's mood had completely changed.
Before, he had been utterly pessimistic about this offensive led by Ji Dao and Xue Yin.
After all.
No matter how strong the War God Squad was, they were only ten people.
Let alone two Dominator realm powerhouses on the opposing side.
Just the Immortal realm subordinates they had were despair-inducing.
Even if the War God Squad could hold back some of the high-end combat power.
The difference between them and the other cultivators was too vast.
He had even felt that Water Blue Star was doomed.
But now.
His mindset was completely different.
As a believer of Feng Ge, what was there to fear?
Not only did he rejoin the battle with renewed fighting spirit.
He also continued to search for suitable followers for development.
Previously.
He might have just been trying to gather more people to increase the probability of survival.
But now.
His sole focus was to develop more believers for Feng Ge.
Otherwise.
How could he, a true believer, ever reach the level of a devout believer?
He was truly envious of the blessings from the Heavenly Dao divine abilities and the exclusive bonus effects that Zhu Yan had spoken of.
And his efforts were not in vain.
His active efforts yielded good results.
In just three days, he had rallied over a thousand cultivators from Water Blue Star.
Although most of these were mere followers.
They needed to increase their faith in Lin Feng to become true believers to enjoy the combat power bonus Lin Feng bestowed upon them.
But among them.
There were indeed more than twenty people, like him, who had reached the true believer level.
These individuals, by strengthening their faith and calling Lin Feng's name in their hearts, and after activating the Believer System, brought about a small change in the battle situation.
Because these cultivators who fervently worshipped Lin Feng were mostly powerful.
Whether in the game or in reality, they were top-tier individuals.
And they were almost all Chinese, having personally witnessed Lin Feng's glory.
Their strength was also extremely impressive. Besides about ten people like Li Jianguo, they were all at Level 8 cultivation.
There were even three at Level 9 cultivation.
Therefore, when they activated the Believer System and used wish power to gain combat power bonuses, they unleashed astonishing energy.
The battle, which was initially at a disadvantage, instantly turned around.
As these true believers successively activated their bonuses, their strength surged.
Lin Feng's own combat power was truly astonishing.
Even a very small percentage of combat power bonus, when reflected upon these believers, directly maximized the bonus effect.
Each of them was elevated by two major realms.
Those at Level 8 transformed into Level 10, possessing the combat power of peak Invincible Saint.
The three at Level 9 instantly possessed the combat power of the Transcendent realm, becoming invincible.
In just a few exchanges.
The area they occupied was swept clean, with barely any invaders in sight.
Initially.
Only a few people knew about their achievements.
It was only known that a powerful squad had emerged in the northwest region of China, achieving repeated victories.
At first.
Other cultivators assumed it was simply because the squad might have gathered powerful individuals.
It was akin to Water Blue Star's elite forces fighting against the regular formations of the invading teams.
Victory was not unexpected.
But as their progress accelerated.
And their performance improved.
Until they consecutively defeated two enemy teams led by Transcendent realm powerhouses.
Their existence finally shook the leaders of both sides on the Water Blue Star battlefield.
In the southeastern region of China.
After several days of fighting, this area had become the main base camp for the invaders.
Hei Hun, an Level 11 Transcendent realm powerhouse from the Ji Dao faction, had an ugly expression.
He had just received notification from his subordinates.
And only then did he learn.
That two of the teams led by his Transcendent realm subordinates had already been defeated.
And it wasn't a simple defeat.
Even the leading Transcendent realm powerhouses were completely killed, losing their lives.
This made him furious.
Out of the thirty-six Transcendent realm teams, two had been lost so quickly.
He recalled the bold promises he had made to his master, the Level 13 Immortal realm powerhouse Kuang Biao.
He had vowed to bring all the Transcendent realm powerhouses back safely.
He felt his face burning.
It was a complete humiliation!
To be defeated in such a small place!
And on the other side.
In the northwest region of China, diametrically opposite to the area occupied by the invaders.
Zhan Hai was overjoyed.
He had been suppressed for so long that he was unbearable.
The sudden appearance of such a divine force was incredibly morale-boosting.
He soon met Li Jianguo and the squad he led.
Upon first sight, he could hardly believe his eyes.
This was it?
Four Level 9, over twenty Level 8, and over a thousand Level 6 and 7 cultivators.
Could this lineup really make the invaders flee in disarray?
This was merely the configuration of one of his subordinate squads.
With such strength, it might be possible to deal with a Level 10 powerhouse.
But defeating or even killing a Transcendent realm cultivator was utterly impossible.
One must know.
He himself, with his Level 10 strength, could only barely contend with a weaker Transcendent realm cultivator.
Even then.
It was because he had a good relationship with some members of the War God Squad in the game.
Indirectly buying many excellent treasures from them.
Which made him a top expert in reality on Water Blue Star.
With his own strength, he still had to tread on thin ice when dealing with the invaders.
Li Jianguo's squad configuration, no matter how strong their cohesion or how tactical their application, could not have achieved such brilliant results.
What kind of fortuitous encounter had they stumbled upon?
He speculated thus.
But when he spoke with Li Jianguo in detail, the results left him both surprised and delighted.
What surprised him was that simply by believing in Lin Feng, they could achieve such astonishing improvements?
Feng Ge is truly a divine being!
And what delighted him, naturally, was that as an early competitor of Lin Feng in the game, he had later been convinced and become a devoted fan.
Not only had he become thoroughly convinced and full of admiration for Lin Feng, but he had also collaborated with the War God Squad many times afterward, all of which were pleasant experiences.
Now, as a leader on the Chinese side, he had also received instructions from the War God Squad and the tacit approval of Lin Feng.
His respect and adoration for Lin Feng were already deeply rooted.
It would not be an exaggeration to say he was part of the most loyal group.
If Li Jianguo's faith level could achieve such a significant increase.
Wouldn't he himself be soaring to the heavens?
And the facts proved.
His guess was correct.
After successfully activating the Believer System, in his very first battle leading his subordinates, Zhan Hai's performance stunned the entire Water Blue Star.
With his Level 10 cultivation, facing the formidable lineup of the Level 11 Hei Hun and his four Level 10 subordinates.
Zhan Hai suddenly unleashed a terrifying cultivation level that was three major realms higher than his own.
Catching the enemy completely off guard.
He not only suppressed Hei Hun but also killed all four of his powerful subordinates.
If not for the exaggerated increase in strength, making him unaccustomed and unable to unleash his full power.
Even Hei Hun might have become another fallen soul under his sword.
Even so.
Hei Hun, who had not anticipated such a change in Zhan Hai, was completely defenseless. In the end, relying on a rare divine ability, he fled gravely wounded.
Zhan Hai seized the opportunity to pursue, sweepingly clearing out over a dozen enemy teams consecutively.
If the enemy hadn't realized something was wrong and begun to retreat rapidly.
Perhaps this wave would have been a complete annihilation.
Even so.
Zhan Hai's surge had dealt a heavy blow to the invaders.
They began to huddle within their own territory, no longer venturing out.
Zhan Hai's continuous burst of power consumed a massive amount of wish power, and he felt his body was somewhat overdrawn.
He also took the opportunity to halt his advance and ordered a retreat.
However, this brilliant victory in the battle not only changed the situation on the Water Blue Star battlefield.
It even.
Alerted the higher-level battlefields.
