The secondary defense system world.
Large-scale war warning lights filled the entire world, dyeing the sky crimson.
Because the entire world was in a state of war, the alarm never stopped ringing.
Although the sound of these alarms was loud and piercing, it was completely drowned out by another kind of miniscule but concentrated gnawing sound.
It was the sound of monsters devouring everything in their path.
The Desolate monsters were constantly pushing forward on the battlefield.
Two-thirds of the world had already fallen, only the core defense system of the world had yet to be taken down.
This was going to be a long and arduous battle.
Fortunately, the Desolate monsters had plenty of experience with this, occasionally attacking, occasionally defending, calmly and methodically organizing the battle without showing any signs of impatience.
The Lord of Desolation and his most powerful subordinates didn't appear on the battlefield.
They were all resting in the rear, silently waiting for the decisive battle to begin.
They had destroyed 18,800 subsystems, among which there were 647 worlds that had a secondary defense system similar to this one.
Because of that, the monsters knew exactly how to win this war while paying the smallest price.
All they needed to do was follow the method that they had figured out before, step by step, and they would be able to achieve victory.
— — but they didn't know that above their heads, a single person was silently observing all of this.
Gu Qing Shan.
He had only just arrived in this world while being invisible.
"A Technological world huh … but it's a bit strange …"
Gu Qing Shan stared at the Mechs that were fighting against the monsters and muttered.
He was a bit unsure, so he flew down and landed at the center of the battlefield.
At this point, several dozen Desolate monsters rushed forward, pinning a 5-meter-tall Mech to the ground and began to tear at it.
The Mech simply continued to send out shockwave attacks, killing the enemy closest to it.
Against so many monsters, it couldn't stop them at all and was quickly destroyed.
The monsters quickly moved on to the next Mech.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan stepped forward and stood in front of the Mech's remains.
He carefully observed it for a bit, took out his frost Blade, and cut down the damaged part of the Mech.
Sha — — -
Blood flowed. A chunk of the Mech's muscles was also cut off.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed his sword and nodded.
He finally understood why he felt strange.
This was not an ordinary steel armor.
It was a combat weapon made up of living organisms. Its entire body was made up of all kinds of tissues that were compatible with the human body. When it received too much damage, blood would flow out.
Gu Qing Shan flew up to the sky again and looked around.
The entire land was made of steel, but the various buildings that were scattered all over the land were being devoured by a type of flying ant-like miniature primordial monsters.
Some of the buildings would launch powerful attacks that would wipe out a large portion of the flying ants in just a few hits.
At this time, the flying ants would retreat, allowing powerful Desolate monsters like the six-legged winged serpent to take the lead and destroy the firepower of the buildings.
Then, all kinds of mecha would appear and enter the battlefield to fight with the enemy.
The Desolate monsters would also immediately charge forward.
The battle immediately entered the most intense melee phase.
After a period of fighting, the Desolate monsters who had the advantage in both numbers and combat strength would seize a piece of land and continue to advance.
After repeating this a few times, the monsters occupied more and more areas.
Gu Qing Shan stared blankly at what was happening on the battlefield.
You call this a war?
He shook his head and looked at the War God UI.
Lines of notification appeared on the UI.
[The War God UI has connected with this world's defense system]
[Discovered the hiding location of this world's defense core]
[Please head Southeast 12,000 kilometers, prepare to take over this world's defense system]
Reading through it, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "You can take over this world's defense system?"
[Ting]!
The War God UI replied: [Not me, but you. As a human, you naturally have the authority to take over the defense system]
"Ah, and here I thought you had that much authority" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The War God UI ignored him.
Gu Qing Shan carefully calculated the duration of his concealment and was about to head Southeast.
The War God UI suddenly spoke up again: [Wait]
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[You still have some time to conceal yourself, please gather some Soul Points before heading to the defense core] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I can't even cut through high-level monsters"
[Kill the soldiers] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan hesitated for a split second, then said: "Alright, keep track of my time, call me when it's about time"
[Got it] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan then flew into the middle of the battlefield and raised the frost Blade in his hand.
The Blade flashed.
A Desolate soldier was cut in half.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.
[You've killed a Desolate Spiky Beast, obtaining 40,000 Soul Points]
[The System has collected 39995 Soul Points]
[Your remaining Soul Points are as follows.] With a glance, Gu Qing Shan charged towards the next monster with the frost Blade in hand.
The entire battlefield stretched for several thousand miles, with intense battles taking place everywhere. Furthermore, Gu Qing Shan was in a stealthy state, making sure not to cause too much of a commotion and constantly changing his position, so his battles didn't draw the attention of the Desolate race.
His Soul Points quickly increased.
[Soul Points + 1]
[Soul Points + 3]
[Soul Points + 5]
[Soul Points + 9]
…
As Gu Qing Shan continued to reap the lives of monsters, he was full of doubts.
— — -this was the first time the War God UI had notified him that he needed to collect Soul Points.
This has never happened before.
Could it be that the War God UI actually took damage from collecting Soul Points for me?
Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes.
That can't be right.
Back in the underground of Shen Wu world, at the moment of life and death, the War God UI asked him if he wanted to return to the past to avoid the crisis of life and death.
Indeed, the War God UI can no longer travel through time, but even in that situation, the System never mentioned anything about Soul Points.
Why is the War God UI asking for Soul Points now?
While thinking, Gu Qing Shan's hands didn't stop moving.
He swung his Blade again to kill a Desolate monster in front of him, then moved to another location and continued killing monsters.
As he thought deeper, Gu Qing Shan's killing speed became faster and faster.
— — -since the System needed Soul Points, regardless of whether it was to heal itself or for something else, Gu Qing Shan was determined to help.
After all, the System had never mistreated him before.
The Frost Blade was like a snowflake, flickering in and out of sight on the battlefield, slicing every monster it passed into pieces.
None of the monsters could see Gu Qing Shan.
At this moment, he was the invisible God of Death.
…
After an unknown amount of time.
A clear chime resounded.
[Ting]!
The War God UI replied: [That's enough, you must use the remaining time to head to the core of this world's defense]
Gu Qing Shan stopped.
He glanced at the War God UI and checked his current Soul Points.
[Your remaining Soul Points is quite a good harvest for him.
As for the War God UI, the amount of Soul Points it received was even more astronomical, at least a few dozen million.
This amount of Soul Points was more than enough for him to do anything.
Even if he was injured from collecting Soul Points, he should be able to quickly recover from such a large amount of Soul Points.
Gu Qing Shan tried asking: "System, if there's another chance to become invisible in the future, would we still need to kill them like this?"
[Of course — — I need more Soul Points] the War God UI replied.
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly.
"Alright, I hope there'll be a chance to collect more Soul Points later on"
