As Lin Zhen expected, the expansion of the Hall of the Exalted was completed three days later.
This time, the number of Hall of the Exalted members had increased to 300!
This was the result of the negotiation between the surface races and the endless races. Both sides had increased the number of Hall of the Exalted members by 200.
In fact, 90% of the new members were former Hall of the Exalted members. These people had failed to become gods and were now demigods. However, their strength was outstanding.
Lin Zhen originally thought that it would be difficult to rearrange the Hall of the Exalted, but it was soon confirmed.
As the 200 new members were old guys who had lived for countless years, they were automatically ranked in front of the current Hall of the Exalted members.
Xiong Jing, who was originally ranked first, was now ranked 201 while Lin Zhen was ranked 203.
According to them, this Hall of the Exalted ranking was only temporary. After the Skyfire War ended, there would definitely be changes and those old guys would withdraw again.
This method appeased the dissatisfaction of some of the current Hall of the Exalted members.
The current number one in the Hall of the Exalted was Jiuxuan, a warrior from the human race.
Others might not know this person, but Lin Zhen knew him. He was the number one in the Hall of the Exalted 930 million years ago. At that time, he was unanimously believed to be able to break through and become a god. However, when he broke through, he failed due to some accident and became a demigod.
Jiuxuan was suspected to be a perfected demigod and even had a history of defeating a lower god head-on.
Although those people who lived too long had immortal lives, accidents would always happen in the long river of time. Countless years had passed and those who lived too long had basically died.
Jiuxuan was able to live for more than 900 million years, which was considered a record age.
Even most of the gods were Jiuxuan's juniors and maintained a certain level of respect for Jiuxuan. This time, Jiuxuan was ranked first in the Hall of the Exalted and no one had any objections.
Other than Jiuxuan, the second person in the Hall of the Exalted was Shadow Killer.
Shadow Killer was also considered a super expert. He was close to 200 million years old. Like Jiuxuan, people believed that he was also at the Great Perfection Realm.
Lin Zhen knew that he wasn't just a suspect, he was definitely one, because Lin Zhen had escaped from him before.
In addition to Jiuxuan and Shadow Killer, there was also a Celestial Beast called Multi-armed, who was considered to have reached the Complete Realm and ranked third in the Hall of the Exalted.
Everyone had thought that even though the scale of this Heavenly Flame War was unprecedented, these peak stage powerhouses who no longer had any desires might not appear.
However, he didn't expect that three people would appear at the same time. He didn't know why.
Were the righteousness of the race and the lives of those ordinary people that important to them? This is very doubtful.
Not only the Surface Race, but the Endless Race was even more ruthless. It was said that five Perfect Personas had participated in the Heavenly Fire War, which increased the pressure on the Surface Race for no reason.
As the days passed, the day of the Heavenly Fire Great War drew near.
Both sides readied their troops and prepared their horses. The clouds of war shrouded the entire Primordial Realm. Everyone's hearts were heavy, and the pressure was immense.
*****
This war concerned the fate of the two major races. For a time, everyone participated in the discussion of the war.
In the Dimensional Universe, regardless of whether it was the Surface Race or the Endless Race, there were trillions of posts scrolling across the screen every day, discussing the situation of the war.
Technology Emperors, data Emperors, morale Emperors, and diehard fans who supported their idols. Everyone's enthusiasm was extremely high, as if it was the last madness before the end of the world.
"From a data perspective, the Endless Race's chances of winning this Heavenly Fire Great War are less than 30%!"
"The Surface Race will win. I'm willing to donate all my assets, a total of 400,000 Great Zhao currency, to the frontline soldiers!"
"I'm not exaggerating, but the Surface Race will obtain a pyrrhic victory. The person who will decide the outcome will be Augustine."
"Augustine is nothing. He can't even beat Lin Zhen. Shadow Killer is the king."
"Save your bragging. You've only seen a few videos and blurry images. Shadow Killer is already outdated. In a one-on-one fight, he can't even beat Ye Xingcai."
"Jiuxuan, Xiong Jing, and Lin Zhen. I think these three people will dominate the course of the war. They are our weapons of mass destruction."
"Haha! In terms of mass destruction, who can compare to Lin Zhen's Black Hole? The people of the Endless Races can only tremble in fear. Lin Zhen's ultimate move is a BUG. "
"You can't say that. Do you think that the Endless Race are all good-for-nothings? Maybe their spies have already seen through the tactics we've researched here."
"You're talking as if the tactics you mentioned are nothing. Save your breath, keyboard warrior."
These messy words could be ignored, but some posts were still more constructive.
For example, the Hall of the Exalted had to clearly divide the work to prevent a certain area from being breached. What kind of people would form the reserve team, and what kind of people would form the assault team.
Some people also talked about what to do once the Celestial River was breached. However, most people did not think that it would happen.
Between the two major races, the number of people from the Surface Race still exceeded that of the Endless Race. After all, they occupied the vast land and the surrounding starry sky. The living space of the Surface Race was still larger and more fertile.
Therefore, people were generally optimistic about this battle. Even if they could not take down Magic City, the human wave tactic was enough to stop the Endless Race on the other side of the Celestial River.
Some people suggested that they directly attack Magic City.
There were even many people who supported this suggestion. After all, the number of people from the Surface Race was too large. When the forest was big, there were all kinds of birds.
Some people raised donations in the name of war. As a result, they were directly arrested by the people of various countries and cities and sentenced to capital punishment.
*****
At first, Lin Zhen logged into the forum to take a look. However, there were too many posts on the forum. The forums of every country and city were overcrowded. He could not see anything at all.
He simply filtered and looked at the speeches of the Hall of the Exalted.
This was also Jiuxuan's request. He asked every member of the Hall of the Exalted to watch his speech. This was because he, Shadow Killer, and Multi-Arm had officially established a command post. The three of them were temporary commanders who issued orders.
In addition to sending the orders individually, they would also post them in his post so that everyone could see them and clarify their responsibilities.
As there were still a few days before the start of the war, Jiuxuan issued an order for the first time, which was to divide the battle zones.
Jiuxuan's strategy was to defend and counterattack.
Now, the number of people from the Surface Race was about 60 billion, while the Endless Race was 40 billion.
Six to four did not mean that the Surface Race would definitely win. In a battle between super warriors, it often depended on the performance of the top experts in the end.
Over the years, Jiuxuan had also fought with some experts from the Endless Race and knew how powerful they were. Therefore, he decided to use the advantage of numbers to fight a war of attrition with the Endless Race in the early stages.
The biggest advantage of the Surface Race was that they had a large population and a relatively large war potential. As long as they fought for a while, the Endless Race's spirit would dissipate. Then, it would be time for the Surface Race to counterattack.
Since they had decided to defend, the most important thing was the division of the battle zones.
The Celestial River area was divided into nine battle zones by Jiuxuan.
Each battle zone was as long as 100 stars, and each battle zone had to be guarded by a Hall of the Exalted expert.
As the first person, Jiuxuan would be personally in charge of the fifth battle zone.
The fifth battle zone was located in the center, which was the original area of Sky Fire City. Its length and width were relatively large. Jiuxuan led 50 veteran Hall of the Exalted experts to guard the centermost area.
Shadow Killer was in charge of the first battle zone.
Multi-Arm was in charge of the ninth battle zone.
The second, third, and fourth battle zones were also in charge of veteran Hall of the Exalted experts.
The current Hall of the Exalted members were in charge of the sixth, seventh, and eighth battle zones.
Xiong Jing led some people in charge of the sixth battle zone, Ye Xingcai was in charge of the seventh battle zone, and Lin Zhen was in charge of the eighth battle zone.
This was because the three of them were originally the top three in the Hall of the Exalted. They had great abilities, so each of them should be in charge of a section.
Jiuxuan had considered it more comprehensively. For example, Lin Zhen was ranked third, so his abilities were relatively weaker. Therefore, he needed to be assigned with a stronger assistant.
Therefore, under Shadow Killer's suggestion, Jiuxuan assigned Augustine, who was originally ranked fourth in the Hall of the Exalted, to Lin Zhen. He asked him to assist Lin Zhen in guarding the eighth battle zone and ensure that this area was impregnable.
This kind of thing could not be hidden at all, so Jiuxuan did not think of hiding it. He directly issued his order in the Dimensional Universe.
There was a very clear division of which section each person was in charge of.
As soon as Jiuxuan's order was issued, it once again caused a heated discussion among the races on the ground.
Some people questioned Jiuxuan's conservative way of fighting. Some people said that he was undeserving of his reputation and that he only had a little personal ability. He could not command a big war at all. It was better to find a general from a life planet who was good at arranging troops.
Some people questioned the strength of the defenders. They did not question Xiong Jing, Lin Zhen, and the others, but the veteran warriors.
After all, they did not know the strength of these veteran warriors. They were deeply doubtful about whether they could guard their own battle zones.
On the contrary, they were not worried about Xiong Jing, Ye Xingcai, and Lin Zhen's area.
After all, in their opinion, these people represented the strongest combat power of the ground races below the gods. They only temporarily gave up the top few positions in the Hall of the Exalted out of respect for their seniors.
They had already proven themselves to be absolutely reliable.
After hearing this kind of discussion, Lin Zhen knew that things were a little troublesome.
He could be in charge of guarding a section of the battle zone, but could they not assign Augustine to him?
Could it be that they didn't know that Lin Zhen and Augustine had a great enmity?
