The light didn't cause too much shock or destruction. Everything within its range quieted down, including the flood of abyssal monsters and the panicking Holy Light City.
Everything began to distort in a strange way.
The blood-red lava actually transformed into a clear spring, while the abyssal monsters solidified into clay statues. As the clear spring washed over them, they all softened into soil and stone. The collapsed Holy Light City turned into a forest. Trees appeared, and the ground was covered in fresh flowers and weeds. It was full of vitality.
However, the original life no longer existed. There was a deathly stillness.
"Deathly stillness" and "vitality" blended together, forming a strange atmosphere.
This was a new kind of creation. From another point of view, it was actually another kind of destruction.
The white light in the center of the light dimmed a little. It had been caught by a claw.
The claw's skin and flesh were torn open, and green blood kept dripping. Not only the claw, but the whole ferocious figure was badly mutilated. White bones could even be seen in many wounds.
"Damned little minions! How dare you hurt my soul origin so badly! " Sosbach roared angrily. Under the emotional turmoil, the white light in the claw couldn't be controlled. The bone spurs on his shoulder and elbow trembled, and green leaves grew out.
Sosbach's face twitched. Green blood light flew out of the claw and wrapped the Book of Creation in his hand. His whole body and the "blood ball" in his hand gradually dimmed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
For a world where communication was quite advanced, the transmission of news was extremely fast, especially … bad news.
In the next few days, a sensational news shocked the whole world.
White Cliff, the headquarters of the Church of Light, was completely destroyed by the abyss. It had become a dead land!
White Cliff was the holy land in the eyes of countless believers of light. It was blessed by the God of Light, guarded by powerful angels led by the three supreme angels, and countless Knights of Light. It was the holy and supreme core of faith. Unexpectedly, it was completely destroyed by the abyssal monsters!
Where were the Knights of Light? Where were the angels?
Where were the gods?
Not only the believers of the Church of Light, but all humans fell into a panic. Even a giant like the Church of Light fell at the foot of the abyss. Then, who could stop these monsters?
For a time, more and more people fled to the west of the mainland. Many countries were still far from the Eastern Continent where the Blue Glory Empire was located, but the kings and nobles had already fled, and the people were also fleeing. Public security was in chaos, and there were also Black Death Cult or lawbreakers who took the opportunity to cause trouble. The entire surface world was in unprecedented turmoil.
However, even the Rayo Empire and the Holy Mountain were destroyed by the abyssal monsters. Where was the safest place?
Chen Rui received the news the day after the Holy Mountain was destroyed. He was also shocked. He immediately used the Star Gate and came to the Temple of Light Shrine.
Sure enough, the original White Cliff had changed completely. The Holy Light City and the Holy Mountain had become a jungle ruin. Chen Rui sensed a familiar power from it – the power of creation!
It must have been caused by the three supreme angels using the Book of Creation. However, the scope and power of this power of creation was so amazing that even Chen Rui could not help but shudder.
What kind of battle happened?
Was the enemy Quiriana, Sosbach, or Dillothro?
Where was the Book of Creation now? Had the three supreme angels all fallen?
Were there any other survivors?
In any case, the destruction of White Cliff was a fact. Chen Rui did not stay at the broken White Cliff for long. He went straight back to the Demon Realm. After arranging some related affairs, he went into closed-door training again.
The White Cliff today was likely to be another place tomorrow, or even the Demon Realm …
It was likely that his home and the people he cherished the most would be destroyed.
Therefore, it was more and more urgent to improve his strength.
The progress of fusing the constellations was not as smooth as expected. Even Rolla could not find the feeling she had when facing Quiriana at that time. In the Super System, Chen Rui deduced more mysteries of the Gods of Heaven Mirror based on the planet's faith and life that everyone used the power of the constellations. The power had also increased a lot.
However, Chen Rui, who had fought with Quiriana, knew very well that this was not enough. It was far from enough.
In the face of the increasing number of fugitives, the countries in the west were under tremendous pressure. The largest country, Dragon Bright Empire, was the first to bear the brunt. Not to mention that the Abyss was far away in the east, just these flocking refugees were a disaster. The price of various materials such as food and clothing skyrocketed, and the currency depreciated rapidly. There were also riots and looting incidents from time to time. The order was in chaos.
Rex The Great quickly convened the leaders of the nearby kingdoms in the western continent to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the current situation. The first problem was the resettlement of refugees. Due to the large number of people, it would bring a series of negative effects. Even an empire like the Long Huang Empire could not accommodate so many refugees. What's more, this was just the beginning. As time passed and the abyss expanded, the situation would get worse.
After a round of discussion, the various countries reached a certain consensus on the resettlement of refugees, prices, the economy, and other issues. However, everyone was very clear about the fact that the current discussion was only a temporary measure. It was just like treating a disease. It could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The real "root" was the abyss.
Therefore, the most important core topic was discussed at the end of the meeting, which was how to deal with the abyss.
At present, the abyss had destroyed most of the countries in the east of the human world. To put it bluntly, the central and eastern regions were just struggling. If this continued, the scarlet tide would spread all the way and cover the entire world sooner or later. By then, humans would be completely extinct.
Even if they could not destroy the power of the abyss, they had to stop the monsters. Otherwise, they would collapse before the abyss even reached them.
There was no doubt about the combat power of the abyss. Judging from the countries that were destroyed before, the most terrifying thing about the monsters was their endless numbers and fearlessness. The only battle that humans won against the abyss was the battle of the Blue Glory Kingdom. In the end, Rambis still led the army and people to retreat from the Rayo Empire.
Judging from the number and strength of the army, even the human allied army could not fight against the abyss. Therefore, they had to rely on other factors, such as geographical advantage.
Even the powerful Thorn Fortress of the Rayo Empire only lasted for two hours. However, this geographical advantage was man-made. The geographical factor that Rex The Great mentioned was the largest natural barrier, the White Sea.
The White Sea covered a large area, dividing the surface world into two parts, the east and the west. This was also one of the reasons why there were two Holy Empires in the east and west. If they were too close, due to the conflict of interests, there would be frequent wars. Originally, there was a Cloud Empire in the middle, which was known as the Three Holy Empires.
It was precisely because of the White Sea that it took a lot of time to travel from the east to the west of the human world.
Starlight Kingdom, Roya Kingdom, and other countries spent a lot of effort to build the teleportation portal to cross the White Sea. With the teleportation portal, the time to travel between the east and the west could be greatly reduced. This was why Raizen the Great only gave Chen Rui a month to go to the Rayo Empire to pick up the bride.
If the teleportation portal was destroyed, they could only cross the White Sea by boat. It would take at least a few months, and it was still under the condition that everything went smoothly.
Therefore, the White Sea was the best barrier for humans to resist the abyss. The abyss monsters usually carried the power of flames. With the existence of the sea, the monsters would also be restrained accordingly.
The urgent task was to quickly establish a strong unified defense line in the countries along the White Sea and build a large number of fleets and air forces to prepare for the sea war with the abyss army.
The teleportation portal must be destroyed. As for the countries east of the White Sea … it would depend on their own escape speed.
The geographical conditions alone were not enough. They could only stop the abyss for a while at most. They needed to gather more and stronger forces.
Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs …
All of these added up couldn't compare to the weight of one party – Demons.
In the battle of the Lan Yao Kingdom, the reinforcements of the Demons played a vital role. The unprecedentedly powerful army was actually not revealed in the war in the Jinyao Territory. If it weren't for these strange troops, even with the scattered reinforcements of Sandro and various races, Rambis and the Lan Yao Kingdom would not be able to resist the abyss army.
Only by uniting the Demons, it was possible to compete and even defeat the abyss. Now that the "portal" still existed in the Jinyao Territory, once humans were destroyed by the abyss, the Demons would definitely not be spared. There was an old saying that the teeth would be interdependent without the lips. He believed that the 3 Empresses of the Demon Realm … including his son who really controlled the Demon Realm, would understand this truth.
Previously, on the battlefield in the Jinyao Territory, wasn't it because of this reason that "Arthur" stopped fighting with the 3 Supreme Angels?
Regarding the uniting of the Demons, all countries agreed, but all of them were quite cautious. When humans were at their most critical and weakest, would the Demons really cooperate instead of being perfunctory with ulterior motives and secretly planning to take this opportunity to annex the human world in one fell swoop? After all, the feud between the two sides could not be resolved in a short time. No one could guarantee that they would not lead a wolf into the house. However, everyone was very clear that, based on the current situation, relying on the strength of humans to fight alone was basically a dead end.
It was imperative that they work together.
What was a little surprising was that shortly after Rex The Great sent envoys to the Demon Realm, he immediately received an accurate answer from the 3 empires of the Demon Realm. They agreed to cooperate and deal with the abyss together.
The Demon Realm would dispatch troops to the human world and join hands with humans to snipe the abyss army in the White Sea.
From the perspective of the human world, this was the second batch of troops sent by the Demon Realm after the last battle in the Lan Yao Kingdom; from the perspective of the Demon Realm, this time they truly joined forces with the human world because this time it was not just Chen Rui's ancient legion, but a real Demons army.
This meant that humans and Demons cooperated for the first time in a real sense.
