National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 913 The Shocking Change in the Star Sea
Looking at the mythical battlefield in the chaotic void outside, which showed no signs of weakening, Song Chi realized that his strategy had to be changed. Continuing to run around like this would likely not bring any change, and on the contrary, the dispersion of the mythical forces might give uncontrollable factors outside more opportunities to take advantage.

With this in mind, Song Chi no longer hesitated. He changed his mind and entered the [Primitive Source of Fire - Highest Communication Channel].

Song Chi: "This can't go on any longer!"

His voice, carrying an unprecedented solemnity, resounded directly through the highest communication channel.

Jiang Yuan and the other three naturally received the sudden voice immediately, but before they could speak, Song Chi added:
"The resource consumption of the [Zhou Tian Liu He Zhuan Lun Grand Array] is secondary; the key issue is the enormous strain it places on our mental and physical well-being. If this continues, any oversight will result in irreparable damage!"

"The fall of the city is a minor matter. After all, we have only occupied the five cities of Huntian, Lieshan and others for a few thousand years. Not only have we not invested much, but in the past few thousand years, we have also vigorously developed the surrounding areas with the support of the five cities and acquired considerable resources. The key is the loss of the peak combat power of the civilization in the city and the elite Firefly Fleet, which is something we absolutely do not want to see."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, Ying Yi, and Pei Dinan quickly spoke in their divine senses one after another.

“Song Chi is absolutely right,” Jiang Yuan replied, his tone solemn.

"With the five cities scattered and our strength too weak, we are like a small boat in a storm, facing this mythical war sweeping across the star realm. We must concentrate our forces!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Heng, Ying Yi, and Pei Dinan immediately stated: "Abandoning the five outer cities and concentrating all our forces to defend the Human Emperor City is the best option at present."

Having said that, Ying Yi, who was in the Human Emperor City, took a deep breath, looked at the seemingly endless energy storm outside the city, and the violent ripples constantly spreading across the protective barrier, and said in a deep voice:
“Issuing the retreat order is not difficult; we only need to use our highest authority to cover the entire Torch Network system. However, how to safely and quickly transfer the elite garrison fleets and resources of the five cities to the Emperor City is a problem. Directly crossing the chaotic battlefield is absolutely impossible; that would only result in greater losses.”

"Use this!" Jiang Yuanren's voice was resolute.

"Our clan still possesses several rare dimensional artifacts hidden away, and coupled with the [Celestial Teleportation Platform] of the Celestial Market, we can complete the transfer of core personnel and resources in a very short time!"

Now that the plan was set, the five men's orders were quickly sent through the Firelink Network to all the Firelink captains stationed in the five Chaos Cities.

Even so, within the five chaotic cities that were on the verge of collapse, there was no panic, only extremely efficient execution.

An ancient altar emanating spatial fluctuations was urgently activated at the heart of the city, its light enveloping all important buildings, reserve resources, and the Torch Captains. At the same time, Song Chi manipulated the Celestial Market and controlled the Celestial Teleportation Platform, using the market as a transit point to send these Torch Captains back to the Human Emperor City in batches.

"withdraw!"

With a command, the five [Transmission Platforms of the Heavens] built beneath the Chaos Cities simultaneously erupted with unprecedented brilliance.

The next moment, a large number of figures and various war preparations became blurred under the influence of spatial power, turning into torrents that flowed into the Heavenly Market through the channels constructed by the Heavenly Teleportation Platform. After passing through the market, they finally converged into the [Human Emperor City], which was located in the central area and had the most solid defenses.

The five chaotic cities, having lost the protection of the Flame Fleet, only held out for a short time in the aftermath of that earth-shattering mythical war before collapsing and crumbling one after another, ultimately becoming an everlasting ruin on the chaotic divine continent.

Witnessing firsthand how five Chaos Cities, including Rift Mountain and War Soul, which had been cultivated for thousands of years, had become ruins, many of the Firefly Captains were filled with resentment and anger. Each Chaos City represented a massive annual output of high-level resources and was an important channel for the Firefly civilization to accumulate its foundation. Now, however, they could only flee like stray dogs.

However, despite their anger, they harbored no resentment towards the higher-ups of the civilization, only resentment at their own inadequacy. Everyone knew that this was merely a helpless act to save their lives.

Celestial Ape Star Realm, Human Emperor City.

The Human Emperor City, which concentrated almost all of the peak combat power of the human civilization, quickly demonstrated unprecedented defensive strength.

Jiang Yuan's [Shenxia Jiuli], Ying Yi's [Xianqin Zulong], Pei Dinan's [Tiantang Shengguang], Ji Heng's [Xuanhuang Chiyu], and Song Chi's [Tianxu Cangqiong], five mythical immortal ships exuding mythical aura, hovered in five directions above the Human Emperor City. The ships' hulls flowed with vast divine power and radiance, perfectly blending with the city's own city shield.

What's even more reassuring is that the enormous dragon body of Song Chi's eleventh-tier mythical servant, the [Time-Space Netherworld Dragon], is coiled above the city, with the laws of time and space naturally intertwined around it, forming a distorted domain. Any attack that comes near will be weakened or deflected before it gets close.

In addition, the powerful seven-colored combination component, the Three Corpses Divine Shrine, allows Jiang Yuan, Ying Yi, and Ferdinand's flagships to summon the Three Corpses Superhuman Mecha Giants at any time. These two eleventh-tier mythical warriors, coupled with the top-level Chaos Origin of the Human Emperor City, form two powerful barriers that would be troublesome for any eleventh-tier mythical being.

In addition, more than ten tenth-tier mythical warriors (including Song Chi, Ji Heng, and a host of mythical enslaved creatures) assisted from the side. It can be said that the Human Emperor City with such a lineup is absolutely impregnable.

Of course, this is on the premise that no one who is detached from the situation personally gets involved.

This is true.

Over the next century, the mythological wars in the outside world intensified and spread over a wider area. Occasionally, mythical creatures, either caught in the aftermath of battle or driven mad by bloodlust, would approach the Human Emperor City. However, upon sensing the multiple mythical auras emanating from the city, especially the intense threat posed by the Time-Space Netherworld Dragon, most of them chose to retreat.

Those few who dared to charge forward were either defeated or perished on the spot by the combined counterattack of the five mythical immortal ships and numerous mythical enslaved creatures.

In this chaotic astral realm, the City of the Human Emperor seemed to be a rare place of tranquility.

A century is but a fleeting moment for a mythical existence, but for a chaotic war involving countless super powers, it is often enough to change many things.

The high-ranking members of the Shining Fire Civilization initially thought that a hundred years would be the limit for such a large-scale mythical war, and that all parties should feel the pain. After all, tenth-order mythical combat power was not something to be taken lightly; each one was a powerful force capable of suppressing the foundation of their respective races. Yet, in the past hundred years, no fewer than a handful of them had already perished.

It was thought that the intensity would gradually decrease, and that the losses might even force a ceasefire and negotiations.

However, they were wrong.

Big mistake!

A century has passed, and the battles surrounding the former Botian Ruins area (now an extremely dangerous chaotic turbulent zone) have not only shown no signs of abating, but have instead become even more brutal and violent.

The number of fallen mythical beings has increased dramatically, and the fall of a tenth-tier mythical being can be felt every so often with mournful cries and tremors originating from the level of rules.

What shocked all those who were eyeing this battlefield even more was that, a hundred years later, a lament of the rules, a hundred or a thousand times more magnificent and tragic than the fall of a tenth-order myth, swept across half of the Heavenly Ape Star Realm!

The eleventh-tier myth... has fallen!

It was an ancient demon god from the abyss. The collapse of the rules caused by its fall was like tearing an eternal wound in the chaos, which could not be healed for a long time.

The fall of the eleventh-tier mythical being seemed to be a signal, completely igniting a wider battlefield.

This earth-shattering battle, which originated from the [High Dimension Sea], not only failed to end, but instead spread and expanded wildly beyond the Heavenly Ape Star Realm at an unprecedented speed, like an uncontrollable plague.

Powerful races and ancient beings from other star realms on the Chaos God Continent were either drawn in or actively intervened, causing the vortex of war to grow larger and its reach to expand.

Inside the Human Emperor City, Song Chi, Jiang Yuan, and the others stood atop the city wall, gazing into the distance at the chaotic void that was even more chaotic and terrifying than it had been a hundred years ago. They felt the remnants of the fallen eleventh-order myths emanating from the city, and their expressions were extremely grave. "This storm... seems to be far more terrifying than we imagined."

Emperor Jiang Yuan spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible heaviness.

Song Chi nodded silently, subconsciously sensing the [High-Dimensional Sea] lying quietly within his body in the myriad worlds.

This chaotic artifact that triggered everything now seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds.

He knew that although the Torch Civilization was relatively safe for the time being, the entire Chaos Divine Continent seemed to be dragged into an unprecedented era of chaos, and this super mythological war sweeping across many chaotic star realms was only the beginning.

……

Shattered star sea, the Buddhist Brahma Spirit Mountain River System Cluster.

In the dark and desolate star field, at this time of great turmoil, all the super powers are looking at the node of the Chaos God Continent. The hegemonic Shi Clan civilization is doing the exact opposite. In the dark star sea, an astonishing number of Buddhist soldiers set off from the river clusters under the command of the Shi Clan, aiming directly at the territories of the surrounding advanced and top-level advanced civilizations.

The Yuefeng River System Cluster was originally a prosperous river system cluster belonging to a top-tier advanced civilization.

At this moment, this place has been transformed into a living hell.

The golden light of Buddha did not bring peace and salvation, but instead was filled with cold killing and destruction.

Countless Buddhist soldiers, clad in golden armor and with faces ranging from compassionate to ferocious, swept across the starry sky like a golden tide. Wherever they passed, floating lands shattered, civilizations were ravaged, and dark energy space stations and lunar warships were reduced to cosmic dust under the intense bombardment of Buddhist supernatural powers.

"Our people are willing to surrender! We are willing to regard the Shi people as our supreme ruler and pay tribute every year!" The rulers of the Yuefeng civilization cried out in despair, trying to exchange submission for a glimmer of hope.

However, they were met only with even more ferocious attacks and the vast, cold, and merciless chanting of Sanskrit that echoed in the spiritual realm:

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and we are entangled in karmic obstacles. We should enter my Brahma Pure Land to wash away the impurities and reshape our true nature!"

This is not acceptance, but a complete erasure and "conversion".

All the resisters, along with their traces of civilization, were physically erased; only the vast amount of rare resources and products were continuously transported back to the territory of the Shi tribe's civilization.

Even the few top-tier advanced civilizations were powerless against the army of the Shi Clan, let alone the countless middle and low-level civilizations.
Under the sudden and devastating attack of the Shi tribe, these civilizations were unable to mount any meaningful resistance and were completely annihilated like bubbles in the sunlight.

Some advanced civilizations and top-tier advanced civilizations with keen senses decisively abandoned their outer territories at the very beginning of the disaster, shrinking their core forces to their last strongholds and attempting to unite for self-preservation.

At the same time, messages filled with despair and pleading traveled across endless light-years to the territory of the nearest overlord in the shattered star sea—the [Emperor Barbarian Civilization].

"We beg the Imperial Barbarians to lend a helping hand and join us in resisting the atrocities of the Shi tribe!"

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; I beg Your Majesty the Barbarian God to uphold order in the Star Sea!"

However, what awaited them was even deeper despair.

The Diman civilization itself was also the target of the Shi tribe's bloody expansion.

Almost simultaneously with receiving the distress call, the vast frontier starfields of the Imperial Barbarians were engulfed in a war far more devastating than those of advanced civilizations.

The main force of the Buddhist warriors, along with the guardian deities exuding an aura of immortality, had already clashed fiercely with the massive beast army, totem warriors, and barbarian priests of the Emperor Barbarian Clan.

The accumulated pent-up resentment and hatred between the two star-sea overlords erupted at this moment.

In the early stages of the war, the ferocity exceeded everyone's imagination. Stars were extinguished one after another like firecrackers, and vast galaxies were turned into dead zones in the clash of the overlord-level forces. The warriors of the Imperial Barbarian Clan were incredibly brave and, with their powerful bodies and ferocious totem power, they managed to withstand the offensive of the Buddhist soldiers of the Shakya Clan for a time.

The entire Shattered Star Sea watched with bated breath, anticipating a protracted battle for supremacy.

However, the course of the war took a dramatic turn in an astonishing way.

Just as the main forces of both sides were engaged in a decisive battle in a key star region, the second Barbarian God of the Imperial Barbarian Clan, who had been hiding deep within the shadows, was personally overseeing the battle with overwhelming momentum—

A sudden change occurred!

Within the Emperor Barbarian camp, more than three powerful ninth-tier Emperor Barbarian rulers, along with their most elite legions, defected without warning.

A dazzling Buddhist light erupted from their bodies, and their originally violent barbarian blood was stained with an eerie golden color. Their eyes became empty and devout, and they turned their weapons around, unleashing the most vicious curses and attacks on their unsuspecting kin.

"They are being converted by the sounds of Sanskrit! They have long been corrupted by the Buddhist community!"

The Emperor Barbarian camp was thrown into chaos instantly, and the carefully arranged battle formation was torn apart from within, exposing huge flaws to the main force of the Shi tribe.

"Roar!! You despicable bald monk!"

A roar filled with boundless rage and savagery shattered the void. The Emperor Barbarian Clan's hidden trump card, a barbarian god who had never been exposed and exuded an ancient and violent mythical aura, stepped out from the depths of the void, attempting to reverse their defeat.

Its power was overwhelming, and its savage aura swept across the star field. With a single punch, it blasted a rebellious ninth-tier Emperor Barbarian ruler and the surrounding star field into dust.

However, just as this tenth-tier savage god was about to display his invincible divine power and stabilize the battle situation.

"Amitabha!"

A calm Buddhist chant resounded, and from the depths of the Shakya camp, the Dharma form of the [Brahma-sound Garbhadhatu Wheel-Turning King] manifested. The thousand-petaled lotus beneath his seat radiated boundless light, and the wheel in his hand turned, drawing upon the power of cause and effect and destiny, instantly locking onto the mythical barbarian god.

A battle on a mythical level suddenly erupted.
