Time zipped by.
Several hours passed. Soon, it was dusk. Night was about to fall.
It had been a short day, but the residents of the Subcontinent District felt that it was the longest day they had ever spent.
The united front could only cover nine base cities. The other base cities had to abandon their bases and move to the united front due to their geographical distribution.
Those base cities were already packed with people from other base cities. The residents who had already given up on their base cities didn't feel anything. They had already gone through the pain of leaving home once. They had yet to find a firm footing in the base cities; they could only follow along numbly.
On the other hand, the residents of the base cities were complaining.
The civilians at the bottom level were obedient. Their jobs were average, their families were average, and their courage was average. They didn't have the courage to fight back, especially when the battle pet warriors and their battle pets were in charge of maintaining order. They had to obey.
On the other hand, those who had some assets and were ambitious were unhappy. After all, leaving their comfort zone meant that they would suffer a great loss.
That being said, only a small number of people were willing to fight back.
Most people knew that it was the legendary battle pet warriors who had ordered the relocation. It was the will of the Tower!
The Tower had gathered legendary battle pet warriors from all over the world. The Tower was the absolute ruler of the Blue Star. They could destroy any base city with a single word.
No force dared to challenge the Tower. To them, the Tower was like the Divinity; they could only look up to it and listen to its orders.
Some of the ones that fought back were beaten to death. Some were "persuaded" to go back to the Tower.
After several hours of construction, the united front had taken shape. The outline of the united front was ready.
Two towering walls were built around the nine base cities. The walls were more than six hundred meters tall, which was a height that most beast kings would find difficult to climb.
If the walls were any higher, the middle-rank and advanced battle pet warriors guarding the walls would be weakened by the distance. The two walls were the best height that had been calculated by professionals.
The walls were eighty meters thick!
It was hard to imagine what it meant to be eighty meters thick. An eighty meter tall building would be considered a skyscraper in a base city.
The structure of the wall was complicated. There were different layers of materials mixed together. There was also a top-secret formation provided by the Tower that could fend off the beasts' skills. Not even some beasts of the stone family could use the stone materials in the wall to make the wall collapse.
When the giant wall was built, the residents from all over the world were accompanied by titled battle pet warriors. After registration, they were assigned to the nine bases to ensure that the population in each base wouldn't be overloaded.
Apart from the nine base cities, four new base cities had been built to accommodate the new residents. Otherwise, if all the residents of the Subcontinent District were to move to the nine base cities, the nine base cities would be packed to the brim. Some battle pet warriors who couldn't fly would have a hard time moving around in the base cities.
It wasn't difficult to build a new base. Since it was a special period, the construction was done in a hasty manner. The construction of the outer walls and houses was left to the Astral Pets of the lifestyle family. Some powerful pets of the lifestyle family could build a residential area that could accommodate one hundred thousand people in an hour.
Of course, a residential area of that size could be considered a "major area."
The construction of the defense line was carried out in an orderly manner. The residents were rarely attacked by wild beasts when they passed through the barren areas. After all, most of the wild beasts in the Subcontinent District had been conscripted to join the wild beasts in the Deep Caves. Those wild beasts were hiding in various places and had been wiped out by Su Ping, Xue Yunzhen, and Xiang Fengran.
Most of the wild beasts that remained were roaming around. Many titled battle pet warriors were accompanying the migrating teams to ensure their safety.
At the moment, at dusk.
Longjiang Base City.
The sun was setting over the Longjiang Base City. The Longjiang Base City was one of the nine base cities in the unified defense line. Because of Su Ping, many legendary battle pet warriors had gathered there. The Longjiang Base City had been designated as the command center of the unified defense line.
Many legendary battle pet warriors had gathered in Xie Jinshui's city hall.
Su Ping was there as well.
Apart from him, there was another person that stood out.
Gu Siping!
As the Tower Master, he was rarely seen. To many legendary battle pet warriors of the Tower, the Tower Master was mysterious and terrifying.
After all, the Tower Master was the only legendary battle pet warrior at the Fate State!
At the moment, Su Ping and Gu Siping were sitting across from each other at the round table in the hall. The seat of honor was empty.
There was a seat prepared for Gu Siping, but Gu Siping was too modest to sit at the seat of honor. Therefore, that seat was taken away.
After all, if Gu Siping didn't want to sit there, who would have the courage to do so?
Su Ping didn't care about the seat. He could be the commander-in-chief if he wanted to, but he knew who he could command. Gu Siping and the other legendary battle pet warriors from the Tower might not be able to command them.
After all, those legendary battle pet warriors would have to depend on Gu Siping's mood.
Su Ping looked at the silver-haired old man.
It was the first time he had met the legendary Master of the Tower. As soon as they met, Su Ping could tell that the old man was at the Fate State.
Yes, he could tell, not sense.
While Su Ping's senses were strong, he couldn't tell that Gu Siping was at the Fate State, not to mention that Gu Siping was keeping a low profile.
But as the saying went, if you have never seen a pig run, you have never eaten pork.
Su Ping had eaten pork and seen pigs run. He had met many Celestial Gods at the Fate State when he was with Joanna. Some of those Celestial Gods were bold and powerful, while others were reserved and deep.
Most of those Celestial Gods had a special feeling.
Su Ping had found that feeling after meeting the other legendary battle pet warriors at the Void State. It was hard to describe, but he was sure that his judgment of the Tower Master was correct.
Also, he was able to tell that the Tower Master wasn't at the peak of the Fate State; he was just an average Fate State warrior.
Su Ping had seen Celestial Gods at the peak of the Fate State before. They had concealed their aura, but there was something strange about them; they were ethereal and otherworldly. Even if they were standing there, he would feel that they were a thousand kilometers away, and what he saw was only a projection.
Su Ping despised Gu Siping even more after he learned about the latter's rank.
With this peak master's cultivation base, it was almost impossible for him to resist the abyssal army!
He was the number one warrior of the Blue Star, the hope of humanity. It was understandable that he didn't have the ability to save people from the wild beasts, but he also didn't care. To put it simply, he was both incapable and brainless!
The wild beasts from the Deep Caves were able to break out of the underground seal because the seal had been destroyed. That was the Tower's negligence and the Tower Master's fault!
"I've only heard of your name and never seen you in person. Now that I've met you, Brother SU, you are indeed a handsome man. I heard that you killed a Fate State wild beast on your own. I believe that Brother SU is also at the Fate State. What a joyous occasion!" Gu Siping smiled at Su Ping.
Su Ping replied with a smile, "I don't think there's anything worth celebrating about the destruction of the Nordic Continent, the West Ocean Continent, and the Dragon Swamp Continent."
Everyone turned pale after hearing Su Ping's words. They looked at Gu Siping, afraid that he would lose his temper.
But Gu Siping raised his eyebrows. He didn't seem to be angry. He heaved a sigh.
"Indeed, the destruction of the three continents was due to my dereliction of duty. Therefore, I'm too ashamed to take up the position of commander-in-chief. I heard that Brother Su saved the Xing-Jing Defense Line and did a lot for everyone. I think it's better for Brother Su to take up this position."
The legendary battle pet warriors of the Tower who were sitting to his left wanted to say something but on second thought, they stopped on second thought.
Su Ping should be the commander-in-chief?
"Sir, don't you think … we should reconsider?" A legendary battle pet warrior at the Void State from the Tower asked with concern. That legendary battle pet warrior was in his sixties. He had blond hair, a Nordic face, and blue eyes.
"That's right. Brother SU is strong but I heard that Brother SU is still young. I don't think he has the time to study other things apart from cultivation. Being a commander-in-chief is not a trivial matter."
Another legendary battle pet warrior tried to persuade Gu Siping to be the commander-in-chief. If it weren't for the fact that Su Ping had killed a Fate State beast and that there were videos and witnesses, Gu Siping would have directly chosen Su Ping. How could Gu Siping be qualified to compete with the Tower Master for the commander-in-chief position?
But he was asking for trouble. After all, Su Ping was probably at the Fate State.
"Peak Master, it's not your fault that the three Nordic Continents were destroyed. It's the sudden attack of the Abyssal Beasts that caught us off guard," an old voice said calmly. It was Yuan Tianchen.
He didn't look at Su Ping. Instead, he turned to Gu Siping. "I also heard that you were severely wounded when you went to the West Ocean Continent and you killed a Fate State beast. You have made a contribution!
"Brother Su is still young. Although his cultivation is strong, military combat and cultivation are two different things. This is not something that can be judged correctly with cultivation alone. This requires experience. Obviously, you have the most experience here. Even if it's for the sake of all the humans in the world, I implore you to be the commander-in-chief, for the sake of everyone in the united front!"
With that said, Yuan Tianchen stood up and bowed to Gu Siping.
He knew that his attitude would offend Su Ping but he couldn't let Su Ping be the commander-in-chief. After all, he and Su Ping had a history.
Yuan Tianchen didn't know if Su Ping would remember that, but he believed that he would if he were in Su Ping's shoes.
Once Su Ping became the commander-in-chief, they would have to listen to Su Ping's orders. By then, Su Ping would send him to fight the most ferocious beasts and explore the most dangerous places. Yuan Tianchen would have to go or he would be tortured to death!
"Sir, we also beg you to be the commander-in-chief!"
Another legendary battle pet warrior at the Void State stood up and bowed to Gu Siping.
The other legendary battle pet warriors from the Tower looked at each other in bewilderment. They stood up and bowed to Gu Siping.
In an instant, all the legendary battle pet warriors from the Tower who were sitting across from Su Ping stood up and bowed.
On Su Ping's side were Xue Yunzhen, Xiang Fengran, Qin Duhuang and the others. They didn't move at all. First of all, they owed Su Ping a favor for the Void State pets they had bought from him. Second, the fact that Su Ping was willing to give them forty pets in the advanced phase of the Void State at such a low price was enough to convince them that Su Ping's character was trustworthy!
"Nonsense!" Gu Siping shouted angrily when he saw everyone's reaction. His face changed slightly.
Su Ping didn't move. Instead, he slowly leaned back against the chair.
"Hmm."
He chuckled and tapped his finger on the table.
"You guys …" Gu Siping glanced over the legendary battle pet warriors. He wanted to say something but he shook his head and didn't finish his sentence.
"Mr. Gu will be in charge of the overall situation. He is indeed more experienced than I am. I won't compete with him. I think it's ridiculous and a waste of time for us to argue over such trivial matters. Can we get down to business? How are we going to deal with the army from the Deep Caves?"
Yuan Tianchen and the other legendary battle pet warriors were startled by Su Ping's words. They could see the obvious disdain and mockery on Su Ping's face. They knew that Su Ping didn't want to be the commander-in-chief.
Gu Siping's face changed, and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes. He turned around and glared at Yuan Tianchen and the others.
He wanted Su Ping to be the commander-in-chief, not out of modesty, but from the bottom of his heart.
As for why Su Ping had chosen him to be the head, he had his own plans, which had been disrupted by those guys. It was clear that Su Ping was going to be a hands-off boss. He didn't care about the power of the position at all. He wasn't tempted at all.
It would be difficult for Gu Siping to persuade Su Ping.
It would be even more difficult for him to persuade the other legendary battle pet warriors who were begging him to be the commander-in-chief!
"Brother SU, it doesn't matter who gets the position. Talking about that now is a waste of time. Let's talk about the beast tides first."
Gu Siping took a deep breath and said solemnly, "According to the information I have, there are at least ten Fate State wild beasts in the beast tides. There are also the Heavenly Kings of Blue Star, the Heavenly Kings of Good and Evil, Seven Sins, Deep Caves, and the Otherworld Heavenly Kings, as well as the Ocean Emperor and the eight Fate State Sea Kings under its command …
"We may have to face twenty Fate State wild beasts!"
Gu Siping's conclusion made the conference room fall into silence.
Xue Yunzhen, Xiang Fengran, Qin Duhuang and the others narrowed their eyes and held their breaths.
They were only at the Void State and were in a passive position in front of Fate State wild beasts. They would have to risk their lives if they could stall the wild beasts, but it would be almost impossible for them to defeat the wild beasts!
Unless they worked together and launched a sneak attack!
However, the number of Fate State wild beasts was greater than the number of Void State warriors present. How could they work together? Who would be able to surround whom?
Su Ping held his breath.
The number of Fate State wild beasts on the surface was beyond his imagination!
He knew about the Heavenly Kings, but there were nine of them in the ocean!
Didn't that mean that there were fourteen Fate State wild beasts on the surface to begin with?
However, the Tower Master was the only human being who was at the Fate State … That was outrageous!
Su Ping was horrified. If the wild beasts wanted to devour humans, they would have been wiped out a long time ago. The wild beasts from the Deep Caves wouldn't even have to come out!
Gu Siping paused for a moment. Looking at everyone's shocked and confused faces, he sighed and said, "The threat of the demon beasts in the sea has always been there. However, the Ocean Emperor and the first-generation Peak Master reached an agreement that they would never invade the land. Therefore, although I've seen the growth of the demon beasts in the sea over the years, there's nothing I can do about it.
"We can only maintain a good relationship with the Ocean Emperor. After all, the Ocean Emperor promised not to invade the land, but it will fight back if we do.
"As for the Heavenly Kings, they've always been on their own. That's why we've had a chance to catch our breath over the years.
"The Ocean Emperor has cut off contact with me. I've tried to contact it, but it hasn't responded. I don't have the courage to go to it in person. It has already broken the agreement. Naturally, it wouldn't mind ambushing me."
Everyone wore complicated expressions. Some of the legendary battle pet warriors were desperate.
More than twenty Fate State wild beasts were enough to turn the Blue Star upside down. How were they going to fight the war? How were they going to defend themselves?
