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

In mid-air, the four people from Alaya saw this scene, and their expressions began to change.

Even though they themselves trembled under the oppressive power of this eye, they still felt a sense of satisfaction at seeing the Shenxia Legion suffer a heavy blow.

"This is the gaze of a great emperor!"

"Sacrifices from the abyss, today, you will all die here!"

Alaya roared hoarsely.

Gu Xu completely ignored the seafood's rabid barking.

He glanced at the elders before the gods.

Zhou Yi and the others were still desperately trying to regroup their magic power, but the oppressive feeling emanating from that eye continued to increase.

The flow of magic within their bodies became extremely sluggish, and even began to reverse.

"No...they can't hold out!"

"If we stay here any longer, something terrible is definitely going to happen!"

Clearly, Gu Xu had figured it out.

If they continue to linger here, these senior saints will truly be crushed to death by that oppressive force.

He just spent a lot of money to pull them back from the brink of death.

How could we just stand by and watch them die again?

"Seniors..."

Without a word, Gu Xu ordered, "Retreat immediately! Leave the dimensional rift and return to the real world!"

Upon receiving the order to retreat, the Sheikha camp fell silent for a moment, then immediately erupted into chaos.

"Withdraw? Gu kid, are you kidding me!"

Li Podi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and staggered to his feet: "I barely escaped with my life, just to run away?"

Zhou Yi wiped the blood from his chin, his gaze resolute: "Gu Xu, I know you mean well. But if this monster is released, the millions of civilians in the rear of Donghai Province will be doomed."

"We, the Sheikhs, have no way out; we cannot retreat."

Lu Xingchen didn't say anything...

But he silently began to burn his own life force, preparing to fight desperately once again.

The other saints shared the same idea.

They can die in battle, but they absolutely cannot desert, and they certainly cannot leave Gu Xu, the future of Shenxia, ​​here alone.

Su Qiong reacted the most strongly: "Gu Xu... are you crazy?"

Jiang Shu ran over too, her face pale but her eyes defiant: "That's right, Your Highness! I can help you take the hit. We'll fight together, even if we die. We'll go together, we'll stay together!"

Looking at his stubborn comrades, Gu Xu felt a sense of helplessness.

He knew these men weren't afraid to die, but now was not the time to play the hero.

"Sister Qiong, Jiang Shu, and all the seniors."

Gu Xu rubbed his temples, trying to make his tone sound more relaxed: "Don't get excited yet, let me finish what I have to say."

"Look closely. That thing is a bit abnormal; even I can't suppress it!"

"If you stay here, you won't be able to help, let alone withstand a single glance from it. If you continue, you'll only face certain death."

"But……"

Su Qiong wanted to argue back.

"Sister Qiong! There are no buts..."

Gu Xu interrupted her, his voice rising several decibels: "You think I'm going to sacrifice myself for you? What a joke! I value my life highly! Besides... do you think I, Gu Xu, am the kind of selfless person?"

He leaned back in the sedan chair, forcing a confident and arrogant air: "Let me tell you, I'm really not in good shape right now."

"but…"

He patted his chest and gave a cold laugh.

"This thing won't kill me so easily."

"I just tried it. Although my domain can't suppress it, it can't tear my domain apart either. We're currently in a stalemate, evenly matched."

To increase his persuasiveness, Gu Xu controlled the Bride of Calamity and Twitch and other servants of calamity to take a step forward.

"See my men? With them protecting me, even if I just stand here and let that monster hit me, it won't be able to kill me anytime soon. It might not be able to kill the monster, but it can definitely hold its own."

Gu Xu looked at Zhou Yi and Li Podi, his tone becoming extremely serious: "Commander Zhou, esteemed seniors, now is not the time to act rashly."

"This monster must be dealt with, but our current strength is insufficient."

He pointed to the exit of the dimensional rift: "But I can sense... this thing can't get out. Something is restricting it."

"As long as you withdraw, it won't dare to pursue you easily."

"What you need to do now isn't to stay here and die with me. Instead, get out of here immediately, contact the Supreme Command, and summon everyone you can—Old Master Wang, or other powerful figures with national-level influence. Call all those old monsters over here!"

"Let me put it bluntly! Instead of wasting time like this, go out and call for backup!"

Gu Xu said, rather speechless, "If you stay here even a second, I'll have to spend more time protecting you. You need to leave quickly so I can focus on saving my own life. Do you understand?"

This statement is logically clear and well-founded.

It not only points out the current powerlessness of the Divine Summer Saint, but also emphasizes Gu Xu's own ability to protect himself, and finally gives a reasonable strategic goal—to call for reinforcements.

Zhou Yi clenched his fist.

He was a competent commander. Although he was extremely reluctant to keep Gu Xu, his reason told him that Gu Xu was right.

They have indeed become a burden here.

With just a casual glance from that eye, they were vomiting blood; there was no way they could fight this battle.

"Gu Xu..."

Zhou Yi's voice was a little hoarse: "You kid, are you telling the truth? Can you really handle it?"

"Brother Zhou, when have I, Gu Xu, ever joked about my own life?"

Gu Xu grinned: "I haven't lived enough yet. I'm still waiting to go back and drink Sister Qiong's victory celebration wine. Hurry up and leave, don't get in my way."

Li Podi slapped his thigh, gritting his teeth: "I've never felt so humiliated in my life. Gu kid, you better hang in there."

"I'm going out right now, even if it kills me, I'll get him here for you!"

Lu Xingchen took a deep breath and withdrew his magic: "General Gu, take care. We'll be back as quickly as possible."

Although the saints were extremely unwilling, they understood that the overall situation was more important.

They began to help each other up, preparing to retreat towards the exit of the crevice.

But Su Qiong remained standing still.

She bit her lip until it bled, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Sister Qiong."

Gu Xu sighed, his tone softening: "Let's go. You know the rules of the battlefield better than I do. I'm the highest-ranking combatant here now, and that's my order."

"Gu Xu, if you die..."

Su Qiong stared at him and said, word by word, "I promise, I will make the entire Forbidden Water Clan pay with their lives. Then I will go down and settle accounts with you."

"Don't worry, Sister Qiong...you won't have that chance."

Gu Xu waved his hand, making an extremely arrogant gesture to shoo him away: "Hurry up and leave, don't interfere with my performance. This fussing isn't like you at all!"
