Just as the huge eye was meeting the bone beast and the black-helmeted giant, the commotion in the middle of the Antarctic attracted the attention of the man-made satellite.
Because the satellite was much closer to the ground compared to the moon, it was not targeted by the moon’s blockade.
Therefore, although the camera could not see the scene behind the moon’s barrier clearly, it could still detect movements on the blue planet that were large enough.
“Are we being watched?”
The huge eye’s intuition made it turn to look in the direction of the satellite.
In the next moment, a spiritual spear shot out from its pupil, covering a distance of hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
“Boom!”
A huge explosion occurred in space.
The satellite could only fly in a fixed trajectory and focus on reconnaissance. It could not dodge any targeted attacks.
“So be it. Giant Eye, why are you so nervous? Could it be…”
In the bone beast’s eyes, the pale flames trembled as it stared at the huge eye, revealing a hint of desire again.
After opening up a space-travel passage to the blue planet, the top creatures from the dark forest world knew about the situation here. This was a cultivation desert where only weak creatures existed.
In the understanding of the bone beast, the blue planet had benefited from the appearance of the space-travel passage, and had become suitable for cultivation due to the influence of the dark forest world.
However, since the change in the cultivation environment came from the dark forest world, no matter what, it was impossible for an existence at their level to be born within a short period of time.
This short period of time referred to a short period in history. The standard reference was the overall level of cultivation.
“Giant Eye, I originally wanted to sacrifice all the living beings in this world to help the ‘nightmare’ break through the blockade and rush out together,” the black-helmeted giant suddenly said with a strange expression on its face.
Just like the bone beast, the black-helmeted giant also felt uncomfortable with the huge eye’s cautious behavior.
This feeling was as though the huge eye had fallen by a level compared to them. It had gone from a partner on the same level to a prey that they could bully.
The huge eye thought to itself that things were bad.
The reason why it had become so cautious was mainly because of Chen Yiming, the strongest human.
From the moment it started controlling the mutant creatures from the Ganges Kingdom, it had failed repeatedly. A small portion of the one-eyed birds that were possessed by its spiritual will were killed by the spirit that had already sacrificed itself for its ultimate attack.
This was completely beyond the huge eye’s expectations. The creatures on the blue planet seemed weak and easy to bully, but it was just an illusion. Once its location was tracked, it was worried that it would be chased by the spirit that could be revived.
Therefore, the huge eye even let the Ice Valley fall silent.
“The creatures on the blue planet are the targets of the black tide to harvest their negative emotions. Personal grudges are your own business, don’t mess around.” After a pause, the huge eye found an excuse to change the topic.
The black-helmeted giant grinned and did not say anything else.
For creatures of this level, there was not much difference between those who were used to being high and mighty and those who were worshiping gods. No one knew what they were thinking.
When it came to dealing with weak and ordinary creatures, one would often do whatever they wanted. The power they controlled was enough to suppress any resistance.
The bone beast also suppressed its desire to devour the other party and turned its head back in the direction of the moon. It seemed to be prioritizing escaping from the blockade and telling the huge eye to relax.
At this moment, seeds of doubt were starting to grow in the three top creatures from the dark forest world due to the imbalance in their strength.
This was especially true for the huge eye. With the difference in strength and the behavior of the bone beast and the black-helmeted giant, it began to have the intention to plot against the two of them.
…
In the capital.
This was the fastest international cooperation to be achieved in human history. The signing ceremony was about to begin, and there were nearly 100 countries participating in it.
From expressing their intention to participate in the space plan to dealing with all the internal objections, these had actually all been completed in just one day.
In reality, the appearance and subsequent retreat of the Ice Valley had crushed all the objections and wiped out all kinds of obstacles. The strength of the blue-haired and white-eyed people was visible to the various financial corporations.
In reality, once Chen Yiming and the people from the Daxia Kingdom left in a spaceship, no one would be able to stop the blue-haired and white-eyed people.
The financial corporations in the western world were not fools. If they did not escape, would they just stay and become puppets for the blue-haired and white-eyed people?
Although space travel was dangerous, it was better than becoming a prisoner and being controlled by others. Furthermore, the spirit of adventure was alive deep inside all the Westerners.
In the past, the opening of new sea routes had been initiated by western voyagers. The power of the western countries had once covered the entire blue planet.
This was especially true for the Never-ending Day Empire. To this day, there were still countless people who were immersed in the glory of the past. That was the period that was most memorable to them.
At this moment, there was still some time before the signing ceremony began. Representatives from various countries had gathered in the hall, and teams of soldiers were guarding the surroundings.
Outside, it was completely filled with people. Countless people rushed to the streets to watch the signing ceremony, completely blocking off the traffic in the capital.
Looking down from the sky, one could only see buildings and heads. Many people from other provinces had come to the capital to personally witness what was publicized on the news as the ‘turning point in human history’.
“No one with abnormal spiritual fluctuations has sneaked in, right?”
Chen Yiming asked as he walked around with Feng Wuji.
The power of purification was extremely sensitive to abnormal spiritual fluctuations. Feng Wuji could use the corresponding information to capture those who were suspicious.
Feng Wuji nodded and replied, “I checked everyone here, but I didn’t find anything like what you said.”
If the European Union was involved, the space plan could be completed three months earlier. If most of the countries on the blue planet were involved, it could be completed at least half a year earlier.
It was still impossible for all of them to escape on a spaceship, and the black tide would definitely not let them do so. However, a portion of the humans could escape from the blockade to serve as the seed for humanity. They originally only had a faint hope of success, but now, it seemed like they had reached a turning point.
Chen Yiming’s gaze swept across the representatives of the various countries.
The latest version of the space plan had already been greatly modified. The main spaceship from the Daxia Kingdom, along with Chen Yiming, would be responsible for the safety of the space fleet.
The spaceships built by other countries only needed to have a stable artificial environment mimicking that on the blue planet and follow the main spaceship to travel in space.
All the top scientific research results humanity had achieved so far, along with the technological power of nearly 100 countries, were all focused on the main spaceship from the Daxia Kingdom.
Not only did the Daxia Kingdom’s spaceship have to bear the responsibility of attacking and defending the space fleet when an accident happened, but it also had to bear the responsibility of gathering supplies along the way. There could be no mistakes.
Chen Yiming thought for a moment and said to Feng Wuji, “Before the abnormal spiritual fluctuation is activated, it might not be detected. You can’t relax until the end of the ceremony.”
Feng Wuji nodded. He also understood the heavy responsibility he had, so he went back to his work.
After Feng Wuji left, Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and communicated with the figure in his mind.
The figure in his mind: The surface of the otherworld has been occupied by mutant creatures. The human stronghold is at risk of being attacked at any time.
Chen Yiming: Is the harvesting of negative emotions completed?
The figure in his mind: I can’t be sure yet, but almost all the surviving native creatures have hidden underground. A mysterious altar appeared at the entrance of the sea.
Chen Yiming: Mysterious altar?
The figure in his mind: An altar with a seven-colored base, which is guarded by mutant creatures at the level of the inscription realm.
Not long after, he finished communicating with the figure in his mind. Chen Yiming’s expression was solemn. The sudden appearance of the seven-colored altar was definitely a sign.
However, it was hard to say if the black tide was at the end of the operation to harvest the negative emotions from the dark forest world. However, it was definitely not a good thing for the human stronghold.
“In the end, the dark forest world is just a place to plunder resources, not a home for humans. Perhaps the development of the otherworld has also arrived at the time to put it all to an end.”
Chen Yiming sighed. After all, he had personally started the counterattack of the humans against the otherworld. However, it had gone from prosperity to decline in just a year. He couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.
If not for the sudden arrival of the black tide, the spiritual figure should have the strength to suppress the entire dark forest world.
After annexing and taking over the otherworld, humans would be able to accumulate enough resources to go to a new planet that could support life.
…
In the hall, the signing ceremony finally started. The stage was temporarily widened and lengthened, so that it could accommodate nearly 100 tables for the signing to occur all at the same time.
The top leader represented the Daxia Kingdom and signed two thick stacks of agreements with nearly 100 countries to join the space plan.
Below the stage, the reporters from the various countries held their cameras and recorded this moment. The scene was filled with camera flashes.
Everything was difficult at the start. After a day, the second and third batches of experts and supplies from the European Union had arrived in the Daxia Kingdom. There was no more loss of contact with the planes.
This gave the countries that newly joined the space plan an endless amount of confidence. During the signing ceremony, no one raised any objections.
Without hesitation, the representatives from the various countries signed the agreement, and the contract representing their cooperation was finalized.
Next was the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The interior of the hall was quickly filled with applause. From the representatives of the various countries to the accompanying reporters and other staff, all of them had smiles on their faces.
At some point,
Chen Yiming frowned and suddenly turned to look south.
His intuition told him that something huge must have happened in a certain area across the sea. It was serious enough to threaten him.
“Is it a top creature like the huge eye from the dark forest world?”
Before the black tide started, this was the only possibility that could be a threat to Chen Yiming.
“From the huge eye to the existence behind the ice crystal-like hair, more powerful creatures of the same level have arrived. It’s getting more and more chaotic.”
Chen Yiming fell into deep thought. A chaotic situation might not be a bad thing for humanity.
The black tide had invaded the dark forest world for the second time, forcing the remaining powerful creatures at the level of the huge eye to gradually retreat to the blue planet. It was not strange for a large number of creatures in the inscription realm to also retreat to the blue planet.
This way, there was a high chance that humans were no longer the only target in the eyes of the black tide. This was undoubtedly a good thing for the spaceship to break through the blockade and find a way out amidst the chaos.
“It might not be a good thing for the countries on the blue planet.” Chen Yiming thought about the disadvantages of the space plan.
Chen Yiming and the spiritual figure could only be considered as two forces at most. If the various countries on the blue planet were invaded by the creatures from the inscription realm one after another and quickly fell into their control, how could he save them?
However, there was another possibility. The target of the black tide’s harvesting of negative emotions was definitely the billions of humans. The powerful creatures from the otherworld might not dare to kill them at will.
Creating a massacre at will was equivalent to snatching food from the black tide. It was hard to predict what kind of changes would occur.
Not long after,
Chen Yiming was woken up from his daze by a terrifying spiritual fluctuation. He looked up and saw a spiritual spear rush out of the atmosphere and destroy a human satellite.
“It’s a spiritual fluctuation from the huge eye.”
After interacting with the huge eye many times, Chen Yiming accurately identified the source of the spiritual fluctuation.
“The huge eye is meeting with the creatures that just arrived?”
Chen Yiming looked south again. From the trajectory of the spiritual spear, he could roughly confirm that it was in the Antarctic continent.
After some thought, he finally gave up on the idea of sending the spiritual figure.
He could not defeat those guys now. After hiding for a while longer, he would test his sword on the guy who was the most active.
…
In the satellite launch center of Jiuquan Space City.
The satellite that the huge eye had destroyed happened to belong to the Daxia Kingdom. The scene recorded before it was destroyed was sent back to the ground control center in real time.
“Oh my god!”
A huge eye?
“A giant knight!”
“White bone dinosaur!”
The control center was filled with exclamations. Everyone was shocked by the last scene. It was an attack in the shape of a spear.
They could only roughly make out its shape, and the surrounding space was extremely distorted.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and report the news to the higher ups.”
The supervisor was stunned for a moment before he quickly came back to his senses and scolded all the staff.
“Roger that!”
“Roger that!”
The staff in the control center made a report and sent it to the higher-ups in a panic.
Next, the report was sent up higher and higher, causing a huge commotion every time.
Before long, the signing ceremony was coming to an end. The news of the incident in the middle of the Antarctic reached the capital. A communications officer barged into the hall and reported it to the top leader alone.
At the same time,
Chen Yiming found a secret special forces team waiting for orders near the auditorium.
This team was formed by 13 people. Their mission was to stop anyone who tried to disrupt the signing ceremony.
Each of them was an elite among the bloodline warriors, and their strength had reached the level of a half-step away from the master realm.
“Did you manage to apply for leave from your captain?”
The matter was urgent. Chen Yiming grabbed Wu Di’s hand in front of the other 12 members of the team and dragged her along to walk down another street, leaving the group dumbfounded.
“After completing this mission, I can leave after returning to the base to settle the handover procedures.” Wu Di told him the outcome of her discussion with the captain.
“Don’t bother with the handover procedures. After the signing ceremony ends, follow me back to East Lake City. I’ll call your captain then,” Chen Yiming said as he glanced at Wu Di’s stomach.
The moment the communications officer barged into the hall to look for the top leader, he knew that a storm was about to sweep through the entire blue planet.
No one else knew about the matter between him and Wu Di. If the captain urgently assigned more missions to her, Chen Yiming would be unable to do anything.
What if she was pregnant with his child and something happened to her on the battlefield?
Moreover, the current situation facing the blue planet was such that those in the master realm could not even do anything. Even he had to hide away and wait for the spiritual figure to break through.
Wu Di was only a little famous in the north of the Daxia Kingdom. If she really faced the powerful creatures from the dark forest world who had retreated to the blue planet, she would be instantly killed if the other party made a move.
“But…” Wu Di was a little hesitant. After all, it wouldn’t take long to return to the base.
Chen Yiming patted her butt and said sternly, “Listen to me. Did you see the communications officer looking for the top leader to speak in private? Something big has happened in the Antarctic.”
If it came from Chen Yiming’s mouth, then the problem wasn’t an ordinary one. Wu Di understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded in agreement.
Chen Yiming left after making the arrangements.
…
That night, the lights of the military committee were still on.
Before they could celebrate the fact that they were about to gather the forces of nearly 100 countries to complete the space plan, they were holding a meeting overnight to discuss how to deal with the new terrifying creatures from the otherworld.
With the threat of the blue-haired and white-eyed people and the ice storm caused by the snow monsters sweeping through the north, no one dared to relax at all.
In the snowy mountain range, after the huge eye left the Antarctic Continent, it did not take long for it to reach the snow mountain where the snow beast was sleeping.
The snow beast rolled over and sat up. Its head almost hit the top of the cavern, and the ice crystal-like hair all over its body stood up.
White smoke spread out, and the cavern became even colder. The ice crystals on the inner wall also became larger.
“Of those two guys, one wants to sacrifice all the humans on the blue planet to break out of the blockade, and the other wants to devour the souls of all the living creatures on the blue planet?”
The snow beast could no longer pretend to be asleep because of the news brought by the huge eye.
The ice crystal-like hair that it had shed in the snow mountain was used by the huge eye to create the blue-haired and white-eyed people and the snow monsters. The snow beast knew this very well.
Because it could sense the situation in the outside world through its ice crystal-like fur, the snow beast was naturally happy with this arrangement. While sleeping, it could also understand the changes in the situation on the blue planet.
The huge eye emitted a spiritual fluctuation. “They think that the first blockade has become a more powerful huge mouth. The black tide’s target is definitely not just this planet, but the galaxy where this planet is located.”
The galaxy?
The snow beast rolled its large eyes. At this moment, it no longer looked sleepy.
If that was the case, it meant that more living planets had been detected by the black tide in the galaxy where the blue planet was. The invasion would be even more terrifying than the one back in the dark forest world.
“I wanted to hide, but it seems like it won’t work this time.”
The snow beast immediately thought of the planet under its feet. After the black tide descended, it would become the base for the invasion of this galaxy.
The huge eye emitted another fluctuation. “How about we join forces? Otherwise, it’s hard to guarantee that those two guys won’t trick you. What if they work together to stop you at the moment when you try to escape the blockade?”
The snow beast fell silent. That was indeed a possibility.
This was because the black-helmeted giant had been tricked like this before. The top creatures in the dark forest world had all grown up in an environment filled with senseless killing. None of them were good people.
Although the huge eye could not be trusted, if they could work together on the surface and fight two against two, the two sides would return to a balance.
Next, the two terrifying creatures communicated for a while.
The snow beast’s body trembled, and a large amount of ice crystal-like hair fell to the ground. This was one of the reasons why it and the huge eye had joined forces. They could create a large number of mutant creatures to gather information.
This information was not only focused on the black-helmeted giant and the bone beast, but also on the humans on the blue planet and the progress of the black tide.
Everything was for them to break through the blockade at the right time.
