Everyone holds the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? In our great nation of Yanhuang, everyone is a demon c

The heavens and earth were silent, all sounds ceased, save for the echoing war drums in the wind. At this moment, the air of the primordial land was thick with the smoke of battle and anticipation. Countless human cultivators gripped their weapons and magical artifacts, their eyes gleaming, their hearts resolute—for in this moment, they had learned what the "best arrangement" was, and would also deeply understand the true meaning of "defeat." Chen Xiu stood atop the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Platform, alongside the heroes of the human race, preparing to face this epic duel destined to be recorded in history.

In the Southern Wilderness, flames soared into the sky, lava flowing like crimson rivers; in the Western Wilderness, icy peaks descended with chilling auras, blades gleaming; in the Northern Wilderness, dark mists swirled in the secluded valleys, shadows lurking; in the Heavenly Palace, the sea of ​​clouds shimmered with golden light, holy radiance shining everywhere; in the Demon Realm's abyss, nothingness twisted and distorted, the whispers of the dead echoed; on the Nine Nether Demon Peak, ten thousand beasts roared, blood surging; on the Tribulation Thunder Peak, thunderclouds gathered, lightning crackling. All the phenomena of heaven and earth, in their most intense display, proclaimed: the true moment of the decisive battle had arrived!
2. Chen Xiu's Oath
On the Heavenly Desolate Sacred Platform, Chen Xiu held the "Twin Wheels of Life and Death" battle halberd, his voice booming like thunder:
"Today's battle is not about victory or defeat, but the ultimate exercise in the 'best arrangement' for the human race!"

While countless solutions may have their merits, only the most suitable strategy can lead us to the greatest success.

Those who fail to embark on this path will also awaken from their failures and realize what they lack.

We, as Heaven has decreed, with the utmost resolve, will carry out the best plan and welcome our triumphant return!

The earth trembled, the masses stood solemnly, battle flags fluttered, and morale soared.

To ensure that every cultivator could utilize their strengths in this battle, Chen Xiu issued seven core tactical plans, which were assigned to the seven vanguard teams:

1. Southern Wilderness Fire and Earth Combination Attack
Commander: Zhu Yan

Tactics: Burning Earth and Severing Boundaries Formation
Zhu Yan gathered his bloodline and the true essence of the earth, perfectly combining fire and earth to create a "wall of fire and earth," breaking through the enemy's front line. Iron cavalry trampled through scorched earth, pillars of fire soared into the sky, seizing the initiative.

"Blazing flames engulf, scorched earth forms shields; without conquering the Southern Wilderness, no one can enter my territory!"

2. Western Wilderness Ice and Lightning Surprise Attack
Commander: Qing Li

Tactics: Frost Thunder Sky-Severing Technique
Qingli and Lingting stood side by side, their frost and lightning transforming into countless ice and lightning spears that instantly ripped the sky apart. The former used its freezing power to immobilize the enemy, while the latter unleashed lightning that pierced through, cutting off their retreat in one fell swoop.

"Freeze your mind, shatter your shackles with lightning; unleash your ultimate attack in the Western Wilderness, and charge forward without hesitation!"

3. Light and Dark Suppression in the Northern Wilderness
Commander: Ghost Blade

Tactics: Holy Shadow Combo Formation
Ghost Blade led the Shadow Assassins to join forces with the Dawn Saint to cast a Light and Dark Array. Holy light purified the barrier, and the Shadow Assassins broke through the enemy's defenses, completely dismantling their command and morale.

"Light shatters illusion, shadow sweeps through the soul; victory in the Northern Wilderness, none can stand against it!"

4. Heavenly Palace Holy Light Defense Line
Commander: Dawn Saint

Tactics: Nine Heavens Might Formation
The Holy Son of Dawn and all the saints set up a barrier of holy light to protect and eliminate all evil and undercurrents, supporting the main offensive.

"May the holy light never fade, protecting our human race; may the Heavenly Palace endure forever, shining brightly for generations to come!"

5. Demon Realm Illusion Devouring
Commander: Chaos Venerable

Tactics: Void Beast Soul Devouring Formation
The Chaos Venerable borrowed the power of nothingness to summon the roars of ten thousand beasts. He first tore the enemy's mind apart with the void, and then crushed the remaining forces with the howling of the beast tide.

"Illusion and reality merge, souls perish and blood remains; the demonic realm trembles, all things bow down!"

6. Nine Nether Blood Tide Suppression

Commander: Demon Emperor

Tactics: Nine Nether Beast Tide Formation
The Demon Emperor summoned the myriad beasts of the Nine Netherworlds, crushing the defenses with a surge of bloodline energy. Miasma and roars filled the battlefield, and an insurmountable crimson barrier suddenly formed on the flanks.

"The roar of ten thousand beasts, their bloodlines unleashed; the souls of the Nine Netherworlds devour, who dares to contend?"

7. Leifeng's Shadowless Slash

Commander: Ling Ting Sword Immortal

Tactics: Heavenly Thunder Heart Technique
Ling Ting, the Sword Immortal, stood atop Leifeng Peak. With a unified mind and sword, he drew lightning into his sword, cleaving through the void with a single strike, stabilizing the world, and slaying the last resistance.

"Thunder and heart unite, sword shatters the heavens; a single strike to transcend tribulation, none can stop it!"

As the "Scorched Earth and Shattered Boundaries Formation" roared into action, the Southern Wilderness Iron Cavalry, like a volcanic behemoth, crushed the frontline defenses. Scorched earth crumbled, pillars of fire rolled, and the enemy vanguard instantly collapsed. While this tactic was extremely powerful, it required precise control over the balance between magma and true energy. Once, a reckless unit charged in, only to be trapped in the lava and reduced to ashes due to a misuse of the formation. "Without rigorous training, even the strongest tactics will lead to failure."

2. The Western Wilderness was destroyed.
Once activated, the "Frost and Thunder Severing the Sky Technique" unleashed its full power of ice and lightning within the formation. Although the main force of the Western Wilderness successfully routed the army, some soldiers underestimated the backlash of the lightning, causing their sword intent and lightning to become disordered, resulting in injuries from their own abilities.

"Power must be wielded with caution; failure often stems from overconfidence."

3. Northern Wilderness Crisis
Although the "Holy Shadow Slash Formation" threw the Northern Wilderness into chaos, some shadow assassins were exposed and killed because their holy light shields dissipated too early.

"In a perfect formation, any mistake in any link can lead to failure."

IV. Chen Xiu's Strategy Adjustment
Chen Xiu personally visited battle sites on numerous occasions, promptly identifying the weaknesses and mistakes of various soldiers and immediately adjusting strategies accordingly.
Southern Wilderness Reconstruction Formation: Zhu Yan and Xuan Yan reinforced the Fire and Earth Formation's foundation, using the barrier's true essence to isolate the magma's invasion.

A damage reflection barrier has been added to the Western Wilderness: Qingli and Lingting will be protected by lightning shields before casting spells to prevent self-destruction.

In the Northern Wilderness, light and shadow intertwine: the Ghost Blade and the Holy Son perfect the balance of light and darkness, allowing the Dark Thorn and the Light Curtain to work simultaneously.

Six-way coordination: Chen Xiu ordered the commanders of each route to connect through the spirit array, sharing the battle situation and adjustment orders in real time, forming a "unified command".

Under his command, the various units overcame their initial mistakes and their tactics became more complete.

Chen Xiu made a decisive decision: "Assemble the entire formation and activate the 'Primordial Unity Formation'!"

The seven-pronged attack transformed into a massive magic array beneath the sacred platform: fire and earth cleared the way, ice and lightning sealed it off, light and darkness mingled, holy light protected it, ethereal beasts devoured souls, a tidal wave of nine-necked beasts surged forth, and a thunder sword slashed down. All seven were unleashed simultaneously, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and collapse, and all remaining enemy troops instantly routed.

2. Triumphant Song
When the war clouds dissipated, the battlefield transformed into a place where scorched earth and glaciers, blood mist and holy radiance, nothingness and lightning intertwined. Countless human cultivators either embraced each other while the wounded or gazed at the horizon with tears in their eyes.

Zhu Yan roared to the sky: "Break the Southern Wilderness, and forever suppress the enemy's courage!"

Qing Li smiled, her icy eyes gleaming: "Who can withstand the ice and lightning of the Western Wilderness?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Youren declared: "Light and darkness intertwine, the ruler of the Northern Wilderness!"

The Holy Son of Dawn brandishes his staff: "As long as the Holy Light endures, humanity will live on forever!"

The Chaos Venerable chuckled sinisterly: "The Void Beasts devour souls, the Demon Realm reigns supreme!"

The Demon Emperor roared, "The roar of ten thousand beasts, unparalleled in the Nine Netherworlds!"

Sword Immortal Ling Ting sheathed his sword: "A slash of heavenly thunder, shaking the heavens!"

Fireworks burst open in the night sky, and countless fellow humans shouted in unison:
"The best arrangement, the pinnacle of an era! The rise of humanity is unstoppable!"

Chen Xiu slowly descended from the sacred platform, his long halberd planted firmly in the ground, his gaze distant and unwavering.

"The best arrangement you have presented is not merely a tactical victory."

It is also a victory of will and belief.

Failure teaches us humility.

Success has shown us endless possibilities.

This is just the beginning.
The future of humanity will be written by us together!

The gears of humanity turn, accompanied by wind and thunder, with gods looking down and all living beings revering. This is the prelude to a new era, a brilliant arrangement by humankind, forever etched in history!
In this "exquisite battle," the human cultivators, with their perfect planning and unwavering faith, overcame the shadow of defeat and ushered in a brilliant new era. Their legend will never end on the primordial land. (End of Chapter)
