Juma Plain, White Stone Mountain, these were the most solid places in the world!
They didn't think so before, but ever since the insects appeared, this place had become the last stronghold of humanity!
Because they had already experienced it three times, before the earthquake arrived, the entire world's population began to gather at Jemahara. They brought their families, the elderly and the young, the most basic necessities, and buried the most valuable things at home. They traveled thousands of miles to the last human stronghold, White Stone Mountain!
There might be some old people who couldn't travel far and stayed in their hometowns, but that was only a small portion. Most of the people here had strong bodies and cultivated body techniques. A journey of thousands of miles was nothing to them!
They lived in a strange world. Every 300 years, there would be earthquakes, collapsing buildings, and shifting mountains and rivers. Now, there was an insect infestation!
It was said that the world wasn't like this 1,000 years ago, but no one knew why it had become like this!
Preparations had already begun a few years ago. Those who were powerful, influential, and wealthy had already arranged for their families, forces, and friends to come over. Thus, the current White Stone Mountain, which was not very high, was actually a pyramid that represented everyone's identity!
The White Stone Mountain was not tall, only a thousand feet tall. However, it had a strong foundation. The mountain was a thousand feet tall, but the base of the mountain had a radius of a thousand feet. It was not a mountain, but a slightly taller stone platform. The stone base was extremely deep, so for thousands of years, even if the world had quaked hundreds of times, this mountain had never shaken. It only felt the tremors as a whole, but there was no sign of it collapsing.
Right now, the only difference between each person's identity on White Stone Mountain was which area you could stay in!
The central area was where only the noblest people in the world could stay. Who was the noblest? It was someone who could cultivate their body to the extreme, someone who could tear apart tigers and bears, someone who had the strength to pick up a mountain! In fact, from the perspective of the Outer Realm cultivators, only a small portion of people who could barely reach the level of a true lord could stay in the central area.
The people here held the power to summon gods among the 35 gods. They were the core that decided the direction of the battle! Wherever they looked, that place would be safe. Otherwise, that place would be food for the crawlers!
The central area was a bit worse. Strength, power, and wealth, you had to have one! They had the authority to summon five or six Heavenly Deities, so they had considerable strength.
The elite area was much wider, and the composition was much more complicated. However, they were all people who were doing well in this world. They had strength but were not at the top. They had authority but were restrained. Even if they had money, they could only entertain themselves. They were the elite class, and also the main force in the fight against the crawlers.
The people in the outer regions were the most numerous. In this world, there were close to two million people, and one million and five hundred thousand of them belonged to this category. They could cultivate physical techniques, but they stopped at the Foundation Establishment stage. This was because those who could reach the Jin Dan stage were all elites!
In times of peace, they were the cornerstone of this world. In times of war, they were the largest group of cannon fodder!
Although they were standing at the very front of the crawlers, they were still standing on white stones. They were barely within the range of Whitestone Mountain. If a fight really broke out, the elite forces of this world would occasionally cast their gazes over here and provide support without much thought.
The only thing they could rely on was the three or four divine powers, and they had to use them at the most crucial moments. They didn't dare to be rash!
However, there were people who were even more miserable than them. They were those who couldn't cultivate their physical techniques and had no achievements in their lives! They couldn't reach the Foundation Establishment stage even if they cultivated their bodies for their entire lives. They were seen as burdens, trash, and a burden!
They didn't even have the qualifications to stand on white stones. They could only form a camp in a certain direction beside Whitestone Mountain, hoping to receive help from the main body of this world when the war began.
It was very humiliating, but it was better than staying in their hometown and being eaten by the crawlers. At least here, they had a chance to struggle.
In the outer regions, they belonged to the low level of physical cultivators. They were identified as those who didn't have any potential for cultivation. There were a total of a hundred thousand people. They wandered alone in a corner of Whitestone Mountain, waiting for their tragic fate.
These people had suffered more and more miserably in each of the three waves of crawlers!
The first time, no one was prepared. They were the weakest, so of course, they suffered heavy casualties!
The second time, everyone was somewhat prepared, but it wasn't enough. They weren't sure if they could use Whitestone Mountain as a base of resistance. They were still the biggest victims.
The third time, everyone gathered at Whitestone Mountain, but they couldn't squeeze in! They became live targets in the outer regions! Almost all of them were wiped out!
Three hundred years was enough for these leeks to grow a few more waves. At the very least, it proved that being unable to cultivate was not entirely a matter of bloodline, but a matter of probability.
Among them, they were basically engaged in lowly professions, such as construction and doctors. Why was construction a lowly profession? Because no matter how much you built, you couldn't avoid the earthquake that happened once every three hundred years. It would still shake you down and start all over again!
Why were doctors lowly? Because everyone cultivated. If you were sick, it meant that you couldn't cultivate!
Because of this, the traditions of normal mainstream society were completely reversed. This was the disadvantage of everyone being able to cultivate!
In the face of the crawler wave, they were the first batch of people to be abandoned. In this world, just like Whitestone Mountain's arrangements, layer after layer of sacrifices, the noblest people were left behind in the end!
You couldn't resist! Because you were in the minority! You were a vine, you had to rely on a tree!
But they were still organized! Because the characteristic of humans was that when they were snobbish to the extreme, heroes of resistance would appear!
The heroes were a group of physical cultivators at the level of Yuanying!
They weren't as scheming as Perfected Lords. When they stood up, they wouldn't be suppressed by their own circles. After all, they were strong!
They were relatively young! They had their own thoughts! There would never be a lack of such existences among humans, just like there would never be a lack of spies when an enemy invaded!
There were about two to three hundred of these people. There were Yuanying and Jin Dan. They didn't hold much weight in the entire world's cultivation system. They didn't affect the foundation of the ruling class, and they could also show the sympathy of high-level powerhouses. Therefore, to a certain extent, they also obtained some recognition.
It was also because of this group of people that they could possibly have a place at the edge of Whitestone Mountain. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have been able to obtain such a place!
They didn't organize this group of people to achieve some goal of eliminating crawlers! How was that possible? These people couldn't even cut through the crawler's shell!
They only wanted to prove that this world had human feelings. There were also people who were truly compassionate and would care about their survival, even if they were indeed trash!
