Human world, Tianyue City.
Tianyue City was originally a majestic mountain. The Founding Ancestor of Mountain Country had used a divine artifact to cut the mountain in half. Tianyue City was built on the broken section of the mountain.
Tianyue City was divided into nine rings, arranged in a trapezoid shape. The center of the imperial city was the highest observation platform, and the outer nine rings were the lowest.
Tianyue City was surrounded by a boundless river plain. The thousand-foot-tall Tianyue Capital was the tallest existence within a radius of several million miles. Such a special terrain made Tianyue City the most majestic city in the world.
The successive Emperors of Mountain Country liked to stand on the observation platform and look down. That kind of condescension could best reflect the majesty of an Emperor.
However, as the demons invaded the human world, the observation platform became an important observation platform. Twenty-four hours a day, there were rank nine experts observing here.
The Emperor of Stone Country, Shi Potian, stood on the observation platform with his hands behind his back, looking east.
At noon, the sun was bright, the sky blue as if it had been washed, without a single cloud.
Shi Potian could clearly see the tens of millions of demons in the demon camp a hundred li away. Long lines of caravans were continuously transporting supplies to the main camp.
The surrounding camps were filled with smoke as all kinds of weapons and equipment were being forged.
The demon camp had been established for more than fifty years. After such a long time, the demon camp had turned from a temporary camp to a permanent military stronghold.
The central area of the camp was protected by a huge formation. A faint layer of fog blocked all prying eyes.
In reality, there were similar camps in the west and south. Only the north side had a gap.
Encircling three to one was the art of war of the Human Race. The demons had opened a gap to weaken Stone Country's fighting spirit. Of course, there was another reason. The north was a human force. Rashly establishing a camp in the north could lead to a sneak attack from behind.
Shi Potian's gaze swept in three directions, and finally sighed. Although he was the most stubborn fighter, he did not have much confidence in defeating the demons.
In these decades, Mountain Country had completely fallen, and the demons had already invaded the plains. They had surrounded Tianyue City. The surviving people of Mountain Country had either moved to other countries or gathered in Tianyue City.
Currently, there were close to two billion humans gathered in Tianyue City. Tianyue was under a lot of pressure due to the huge population. Not to mention anything else, just the food problem alone could not be solved by the Reliance Country alone.
Fortunately, the various countries actively extended a helping hand and did their best to support Tianyue City. That was why Tianyue was able to persevere for decades despite being heavily surrounded by the Devil Race.
It was also because Tianyue had firmly restrained the Demon Race's army that the Human Race was able to form a stalemate with the Demon Race. However, the seven human kingdoms had already lost more than half of their territory.
The new Devil Race had already reproduced in the Mortal World, and they had already adapted to the environment of the Mortal World. The growth of the new Devil Race also put great pressure on the human race.
Of course, the human race had experienced more than a hundred years of cruel battles. Only those who were lucky or strong enough could survive.
The humans who were born after the invasion of the Devil Race could sense vitality almost from birth. When they reached adulthood, they would all reach the third level. Of course, there was also a small portion of people who could not reach the Third Order.
But if these people didn't have special abilities, they would basically lose the chance to have children. In this cruel era, only the strong could survive and reproduce.
In the past hundred years, the newly born human race had taken up more than half of the total population. For these new humans, they had basically lost the concept of a country. They were only loyal to the Human Race and the Supreme Security Council.
The royal families of the seven kingdoms were too decadent and degenerate. Most of them were killed in the cruel racial battles. Only a portion of the most elite experts survived. But they also had to integrate into the Supreme Security Council system to survive.
Therefore, the seven kingdoms existed in name only. But the royal families of the seven kingdoms, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, had a deep foundation. More than a hundred years was not enough for them to completely die out.
The Emperor of the Mountain Kingdom, Shi Potian, was one of them. He united all the manpower of the Stone Kingdom, backed by Tianyue, and became the vanguard of the resistance against the Devil Race.
Shi Potian's courage, ability, and courage also made him one of the most important experts of the Human Race. Of course, his current identity as the Emperor was not comparable to the position of the Vice Chairman of the Supreme Security Council.
The Emperor was just the Emperor of the Mountain Kingdom. After a hundred years of war, the Mountain Kingdom suffered a heavy blow. The title of Emperor, other than sounding nice, did not have much appeal.
The Vice Chairman of the Supreme Security Council, on the other hand, was the most powerful organization in the Human World. He held great power and commanded the world.
Shi Potian was originally only a permanent member, but he had led the Mountain Kingdom to resist the Devil Race's army for a hundred years. This achievement greatly increased his authority.
More importantly, in more than a hundred years of cruel war, Shi Potian had risen two ranks, and was now at the Divine Level.
The Shi family's inherited secret technique, "A Mountain Is Higher Than a Mountain", under the pressure of strong enemies, pushed Shi Potian to rise against the trend, and suddenly became the top expert of the Human World.
This was also because of Shi Potian's extraordinary talent, he was able to temper himself in the cruel war, and finally became a Level Eleven Divine Lord.
At the Supreme Security Council meeting ten years ago, all the members passed a vote and agreed to promote Shi Potian to the position of Vice Chairman.
Because Gao Zhengyang was missing, without his approval, it was actually not in line with the Supreme Security Council's rules. Therefore, Shi Potian's position as Vice Chairman was temporary.
Of course, Shi Potian was a little dissatisfied with this. Gao Zhengyang had been gone for more than a hundred years. But the Supreme Security Council he left behind firmly held the power.
However, although Shi Potian was at the Divine Level, he was not the only one at the Divine Level. In more than a hundred years of war, all the experts worked hard.
But the first one to reach the Divine Level was the youngest Bai Xinyuan. In a siege of the Demon Race, Bai Xinyuan broke through and reached the Divine Level. He also became the most famous Sword God in the Human World.
After Bai Xinyuan, Tyrant Bear also stepped into the Divine Level. Then, Hong Ri also reached the Divine Level.
Lu Jiuyuan and Wu Xiang, on the other hand, showed no signs of breaking through. Yue Qingxue, Yue Qingyu, Shi Han, and other young experts all reached the Divine Level. Although none of them became Divine Level, they all had the potential to break through.
Bai Xinyuan was Gao Zhengyang's close friend, and he trusted Gao Zhengyang the most. As the leader of the Barbarians, Tyrant Bear also needed Gao Zhengyang as an ally. Plus Hong Ri, Gao Zhengyang's woman, was also Gao Zhengyang's loyal.
The position of the three Divine Level experts was very firm, and the power framework of the Supreme Security Committee was unshakable. Although Shi Potian was dissatisfied, he did not dare to do anything.
He was waiting for an opportunity. As a Divine Level expert, he still had a long life. As time passed, Gao Zhengyang's influence would continue to fade.
Of course, even if Gao Zhengyang came back, Shi Potian was not afraid. Gao Zhengyang was a Divine Level expert, so was he. In terms of reputation among the human race, he was not much worse than Gao Zhengyang.
More than a hundred years had passed, and the Human Race had changed two generations. Although the Supreme Council had been promoting Gao Zhengyang, in the hearts of the new humans, Shi Potian's achievements were outstanding, while Gao Zhengyang was an illusory legend. Comparing the two, he undoubtedly had a higher status.
"The Demon Race should be preparing a new wave of attack."
Princess Yu Qing walked to Shi Potian's side and said with a serious expression.
"It's been decades, I'm used to it." Shi Potian said calmly.
He thought for a while and asked: "Is Hong Ri willing to come?"
Princess Yu Qing shook her head: "She refused."
Shi Potian shook his head: "Why would she do that, would I eat her?"
Princess Yu Qing took a deep look at her brother. She knew what Shi Potian wanted to do. To convince Hong Ri. If possible, he even wanted to sleep with her.
Although Hong Ri was only the Deputy Secretary-General, as a Divine Level expert, her words had more weight. Moreover, she had always been a loyal follower of Gao Zhengyang. If he could convince her, it would fundamentally change the power structure of the Supreme Council.
Hong Ri was very intelligent and naturally saw through her brother's ambition.
As for Shi Potian's active invitation, Hong Ri refused all of them. She also would not meet Shi Potian in private on any occasion.
"Is Gao Zhengyang really that good?" Shi Potian suddenly said: "The Human Race is about to perish, where did he go?"
Princess Yu Qing was silent. For the Human Race, a hundred years was a bit too long. Gao Zhengyang never showed up, which was an extremely unstable factor.
The Supreme Security Council could still be stable now because there were not enough Divine Level experts. But in a few years, it was hard to say who among the rising stars of the Barbarian Race and the Human Race would become Divine Level.
At that time, the power structure would inevitably change. Shi Potian was just preparing for a rainy day.
Princess Yu Qing sighed when she thought of this. Even if Gao Zhengyang returned now, it would be hard to control the situation …
