The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Therefore, although the coastal city in front of us has been physically destroyed, there have been no casualties.

Houses can be rebuilt if they are destroyed, but as long as people are still alive, the foundation of the Shenxia Empire will not be broken.

This is the only thing that brings a sliver of relief in this catastrophic disaster.

Meanwhile, the real world is filled with the smoke of battle.

On the internet of the Divine Xia Empire, public opinion has completely exploded.

Traffic on major social media platforms, forums, and news websites reached an all-time high, with servers operating under extremely high load.

The top ten trending topics were firmly occupied by two completely different yet closely related topics.

Its popularity shows a clear lead.

The top topic was about Major General Gu's strength!

The global live stream of Silver Moon Realm was not interrupted due to the conflict in the East China Sea.

Billions of Sherlock Holmes netizens witnessed Gu Xu wreaking havoc in the secret realm.

He transformed into the terrifying form of the ancient ruler, and with an utterly unreasonable attitude, wiped out all the mythical geniuses from various countries, including Caesar of the Beacon Kingdom and Yuri of the Northern Alliance.

He even crushed the finger of the ancient god, which represented the power of higher dimensions, and swallowed it whole.

The terrifying power of this force has completely exceeded the public's understanding of ordinary job changers.

In that dedicated live stream discussion thread, the comments refreshed so fast that they were impossible to see with the naked eye.

Countless netizens exclaimed in amazement, believing that General Gu's displayed dominance could essentially foreshadow the outcome of the Yin Moon Realm.

In this battle for the secret realm that concerns the fate of the nation, Divine Summer has emerged as the biggest winner, and a large amount of resources and national fortune bonuses will surely belong to Divine Summer.

On the other side of the jubilation, the second most searched topic was filled with heaviness and anxiety: "The second topic is the situation in the East China Sea and the earth-shattering explosion."

The devastating blow to the coastal cities could not be concealed. The deafening roar, which could send chills down one's spine even through a screen and across distance, gripped the hearts of all the people of Shenxia who were watching the front lines.

There are many different theories online about the cause of the explosion.

Some people are extremely worried about this, believing it to be a devastating attack launched by the Forbidden Water Clan across planes.

They even posted online asking if the frontline defenses had completely collapsed.

But many more people have great confidence in Ye Nantian, the God of War.

Everyone firmly believes that with the legendary war god from four hundred years ago still around, the sea creatures will not be able to cross the line.

Regarding the explosion, some say that it was because Ancestor Ye Nantian used some kind of supreme large-scale forbidden spell to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop.

Some experienced job changers with a deep understanding of high-level powers also made rational and serious speculations.

Some say that it was the ancestor Ye Nantian who sacrificed his life for a final, sublime collision.

This speculation silenced many netizens who were previously debating the issue.

The internet was quickly flooded with prayers, with everyone hoping that Master Ye and the soldiers on the front lines would return safely.

The focus shifts back to the rear of the East China Sea theater, to a hastily established assembly point.

Dust swirled and fell from the sky, landing on the tattered military flag and among the rubble and broken walls on the ground.

At this very moment, Ji Wenzhou, the deputy commander of the God-Slaying Army, was standing on top of a wrecked armored vehicle, hoarsely directing his troops through a megaphone.

"Second squad, move quickly! Load those wounded onto the hovercraft and get them to the inland field hospital immediately!"

"Logistics team, forget about the heavy equipment, lives are at stake! Quickly organize the remaining ground troops to continue the evacuation of the civilians! Do not linger in this dangerous area!"

Ji Wenzhou's military uniform was already stained beyond recognition by blood and mud, and his left arm was haphazardly wrapped with several bandages, from which blood was still seeping out.

But he paid no attention to the priest treating his wounds, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the retreating troops in front of him.

His face was visibly filled with sorrow!

He was directing the retreat, but he knew very well that the unit he commanded was already defunct in name only.

The reason for this is that the God-Slaying Army was wiped out!

This elite legion, which once ranked last in the Shenxia military and possessed tens of thousands of elite troops, striking fear into the hearts of countless alien races, has exhausted all its blood in today's blocking battle.

Recalling the Forbidden Water Clan army that surged in like a black tide a few hours ago, and those dozens of high-ranking ninth-level saints, Ji Wenzhou's heart clenched tightly, and every breath he took was filled with the smell of blood.

In order to defend the gateway to the East China Sea and buy time for the people in the rear to evacuate, the God-Slaying Army paid an unimaginable price.

Legion Commander Zhou Yi, the top expert known as the Pinghai Sword Saint, suffered dozens of fatal wounds while fighting alone against several experts of the same level.

When Ji Wenzhou saw the legion commander being carried off the plane, his chest bones were completely shattered and his internal organs were ruptured on a large scale.

Chief of Staff Su Qiong also suffered a fatal blow in this fierce battle.

Her body was pierced by the attack from the abyss.

Both are currently critically injured and on the verge of death. They have been urgently transported to the rear for final medical treatment, and their condition is extremely dire.

This is only one that can be saved.

As for the others, they remained on the battlefield forever.

Deputy Corps Commander Jin Yichuan died in the melee while covering the retreat of the flank defenses.

Deputy Legion Commander Zhao Yuanlong, facing an attack from two ninth-rank marshals, resolutely chose to burn his own body and self-destruct in order to protect the rear command post, sacrificing his own life to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

There's also Zhang Xingyao and Gu Liuchen, who usually drink heavily with him.

All my comrades who were practicing tactics together on the sand table were killed in action!

None escaped unscathed.

Ji Wenzhou watched the crowd retreating from the front.

The once massive army of tens of thousands is now sparsely populated, with only a few thousand men remaining!

Moreover, almost everyone among these thousands of people was wounded, their armor was tattered, and their weapons were broken.

The young soldiers supported each other, their faces covered in soot and dried blood, their eyes filled with extreme exhaustion and grief for their fallen comrades.

It's not just the God-Slaying Army.

In this East China Sea campaign, the Shenxia Empire practically wagered its entire fortune.

In addition, the commanders of other legions that came to provide support also paid an extremely heavy price.

Ji Wenzhou's communication channel was constantly receiving reports summarizing the battle damage from various defense lines.

Lu Xingchen, the commander of the Azure Dragon Legion and a top-tier saint who controls the power of all things, was severely injured and sent to the hospital after forcibly overdrawing his life essence in order to buy a way out for his comrades when he was besieged by several water-forbidden marshals.

Li Podi, the commander of the White Tiger Legion, was a tough guy known for his decisiveness in killing. He also exhausted his last bit of strength in close combat, with multiple wounds all over his body. He was seriously injured and sent off the front line.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Shan, the commander of the Taotie Legion, was pierced by the Abyss Poison Spear while trying to save his comrades who were in danger. In the end, he chose to self-destruct his own essence and perish together with the enemy, dying on the spot.

On this bloody afternoon, according to preliminary statistics, half of the commanders of the eighteen legions of the Shenxia Army, all of whom were Saints, were killed in action!
