Inside the main shrine.
Wu Ming wore a long black and white robe and stood beside the origin power pool. He stared solemnly at the giant head that was suppressed at the bottom of the purple origin power.
"God Eater Mittheus?"
Even though it was just a head, it was as big as a small mountain. There were strange patterns on its black skin, and the stone skin on its surface had not completely fallen off.
"A true god?!"
A thought wave suddenly came from the black head. "I'll eat you!"
"Looks like … I've overestimated the intelligence of you Abominations!"
Wu Ming sighed. "If you want to know something, it's better for me to do it myself. It's more convenient!"
Whoosh!
He stretched out his hand, and the purple origin power of the world surged violently. It turned into a chain and pierced into the giant black head.
"I've never tried to search the soul of a level-seven being before!"
As Mittheus wailed, scenes of the Inner World appeared in front of Wu Ming's eyes.
The dark red world, the countless wraiths and monsters, as well as the growing resentment and sin, gave Wu Ming the most intuitive feeling.
"I've learned all this from the Reincarnators. Low-level cannon fodder is nothing. The most important thing is the existence of those Abominations and Evil Gods …"
The memories of the Abominations were naturally quite chaotic, and most of them were in deep sleep. But Wu Ming still quickly found what he wanted.
"The Mask of Nothingness?"
Wu Ming immediately recalled the Ashen Mask that he had fought with once in the domain.
Without a doubt, the other party's strength was at the top of the level-eight, and his aura was mysterious and unfathomable.
According to Mittheus' memories, this being had suddenly appeared from the Inner World. No one knew its origins, but they knew that it was intelligent and seemed to know many secrets.
Now, it was gradually showing signs of unifying the Inner World. Although it had only gathered those Abominations and demons that were still rational, it was still a very impressive thing.
"According to the speculations of many beings, that Mask of Nothingness might be the product of the most ancient Abominations devouring each other and finally fusing into one. Does it represent part of the source of sin and resentment?"
Wu Ming shook his head.
Now, he naturally knew how terrifying something like that was a source of origin power was.
In fact, not only the Void Mask, but even this God Eater, once it broke through to the Main World during the outbreak of the catastrophe, its strength might undergo earth-shaking changes!
When the calamity broke out, the resentment and sins accumulated in the Inner World would be spewed into the Primary World, which was equivalent to crossing worlds. Under such circumstances, the original restrictions would no longer exist, and all the resentful spirits and monsters would swarm into the Primary World, as if the Primary World had become their home field.
In this place, a Level Six Abomination was equivalent to a Level Seven, and the power of a Level Seven could even threaten a Grand Luo!
On the contrary, existences below the level of Grand Heavenly Immortal in the Origin World were generally suppressed. It was extremely strenuous for the True Gods to rely on their Divine Kingdoms to defend themselves, let alone retaliate.
Once the Origin World suffered a calamity, the mortal kingdoms would suffer disastrous casualties, and the throne of the gods would naturally become unstable.
…
After its memories were extracted, the black head's thoughts became even more chaotic.
Meanwhile, Wu Ming sat cross-legged, constantly thinking about the changes in the Inner World.
"Judging from the current situation, the beginning of the calamity will definitely be a terrifying number of monsters and resentful spirits. I have to quickly prepare defensive arrays and materials for necromancy …"
"The real main battlefield is still the gods and the sealed evil beings and Abominations … During the outbreak of the calamity, their strength will probably increase by one or two levels … Against such existences that distort the rules, the eight Main Gods of the East and the few Supreme Gods of the Western God System will definitely have to take action, right?"
The Supreme Gods of the East and the West were all existences of the Convergence Path. They were the embodiment of rules, devoid of humanity, and took it upon themselves to maintain the peace and stability of the world. They could also protect the human race. This was already completely a remnant of their previous beliefs causing mischief.
At their level, even if the saints were heartless, the hundred races of the Main World would be treated equally. Even if the human race went extinct, as long as it complied with the operation of the rules of the world, they might not make a move.
However, the outbreak of the calamity in the Inner World was clearly not within this scope.
"Your Majesty, Supreme God!"
Just as Wu Ming was pondering, two divine consciousnesses suddenly resounded in the sky above the Seer Royal City.
"I knew you two would come!"
Wu Ming smiled inwardly and waved his hand calmly. The void opened, and the two gods entered.
Ding!
A beautiful jade carriage pulled by nine dragons and nine phoenixes slowly descended from mid-air. Heavenly maidens scattered flowers, and celestial children led the way. A god wearing an imperial crown slowly walked out and bowed to Wu Ming. "I am Zhang Duanming, the Celestial Emperor of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Whoosh!
Bolts of purple Thunder converged, and the figure of an incomparably tall ancient giant appeared.
However, upon arriving at Wu Ming's territory, he immediately concealed his figure and turned into a brawny Caucasian man. "Praise be to you, the great Supreme God! I am the ruler of the Western God System, the Ancient Thunder Titan. You may call me 'Thunder'! "
"I assume the two of you are here for the matter of the Inner World? Please take a seat! "
Wu Ming waved his hand, and two lotus thrones automatically appeared.
Speaking of which, the level and origin that these two Level Seven Great Beings possessed was far beyond what the Celestial Emperor of Dazhou could compare to. Wu Ming felt that they were extremely similar to himself before he broke through to Grand Luo.
In other words, if they had enough resources, and the Chaos Sea was opened again, their chances of breaking through to Grand Luo would be fifty percent!
For many Golden Immortals, this was already an astronomical number.
However, ruling over a Celestial Court meant great karma and merit. Naturally, there would be such a reward, and it was only reasonable.
Still, Wu Ming had a vague feeling that it would be difficult for these two beings to break through to Grand Luo without the right opportunity.
They probably knew this as well, which was why they did not act rashly.
Speaking of which, the humans of this world were also helpless. Even with the protection of the Overgods, they were becoming more and more alienated from their own kind. Now, even with the end of the world, the pinnacle beings of the human race still had to come to Wu Ming to discuss countermeasures.
There was no helping it. Among the many Overgods, Wu Ming was the one with the most 'human'.
"Yes!"
The Suigu Celestial Emperor and the Thunder Titan looked at each other and admitted their motives. "I heard that Your Majesty has captured an Abomination from the Inner World …"
"That's right, and I've also obtained quite a bit of useful information!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, and two specks of divine power appeared and entered the hands of the two beings opposite him.
For existences like them, using this method to transmit information was more convenient. For example, just now, Wu Ming had transmitted most of Metheus' memories.
"There are actually so many vengeful spirits …"
"Those monsters seem to be able to devour each other to become stronger … and there are quite a lot of them …"
The Suigu Celestial Emperor and the Thunder Titan both gasped, feeling somewhat restless. "Some of our arrangements in the East and West should be strengthened or changed again!"
The faith of mortals was the foundation of most True Gods, so they naturally had to be protected.
Having received detailed information about the Inner World and knowing that there had been some mistakes in the arrangements, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably be drenched in cold sweat.
These two were Extraordinary Gods, and their thinking was even more terrifying. It didn't take them long to calculate the areas that needed to be changed and the cost. Their faces were both solemn. "In this case … time seems to be a little tight. Your Majesty, do you know when the catastrophe will break out?"
"I don't know either, but from Metheus' reaction, it will be at most a year …"
Wu Ming shook his head.
In fact, the actual date of the catastrophe's outbreak was not fixed at all.
Because of the characteristics of the Inner World, coupled with the secret manipulation of the Void Mask, it was possible to achieve it earlier or even later.
Wu Ming had a premonition that after what he had done today, that moment would not be too far away.
…
After this meeting, the East and West Continents, and even the Kingdom of Seer, began a new round of reorganization and preparation for war.
All the young and strong were assigned to the reserves. The old, the weak, the women, and the children gathered in the cities that had been modified into fortresses with the food they had harvested. Large areas at the periphery were directly abandoned.
It was not only the human race, but the other foreign races were also making preparations.
After all, those Abominations and evil beings did not only target the human race. All the living beings in the Main World, even those that had migrated from the outside world, were also their mortal enemies!
Time passed unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, it was midsummer.
The Great Chang Empire, Fufeng County, New Territories Port.
Yingyue carried a longsword on her back and slowly walked through the streets.
All around her, fully armored troops could be seen everywhere. There were also teams of arcane masters and Daoist priests patrolling along with the troops, holding compasses and other artifacts in their hands.
Even though they had already decided to carry out the withdrawal strategy, how could such a large amount of benefits be recovered in a hurry?
In addition, they wanted to concentrate for a period of time to transport urgently needed resources from overseas and store them for the war. Therefore, at this time, New Territories Port appeared to be in an abnormal state of prosperity.
However, all the ocean-going sailboats had been requisitioned by the imperial court. Every ton of capacity and space was strictly regulated. The entire port was also under military control, and it looked rather austere.
As a member of a large family in the port, and with the identity of Lunar Prayer Master, Yingyue was naturally treated differently. Even if she was assigned to the volunteer army, she would still have a high status and receive good treatment.
Moreover, from a period of time, her treatment had risen steadily. She was even urged to work overtime to produce a large number of Talisman props that could protect spirits. The military's demand for such resources was simply endless. At this moment, Yingyue had been rushing for several nights, and she felt like her body was about to be emptied.
"Yes! Three suns condensed, Qian-level life force rising. This is the Soul Cleansing Array! There's also the Soul Annihilation Altar, Mount Tai Monarch Sacrifice … "
She looked at the port and discovered the hidden changes. "Could it be that the imperial court already knows about the calamity? That's why they made such arrangements?"
