Chapter 1522: Chapter 1071 Chasing

Eight Different Race demigods, because of their fear of the manifested Evil God, never dared to make a move.

They certainly didn’t want to be the ones to test the strength of that Evil God.

The oppressive feeling brought by that Evil God was too terrifying, if they all attacked together, several of them might die.

Now that humans had such a being guarding the giant city, they naturally wouldn’t act rashly.

"He is currently nothing but a spirit-manifested demigod. He may not possess peak combat power," a Different Race demigod spoke.

"Then you might as well go and try," the demigod of Chaos sneered.

"Are we just going to sit by and watch humans successfully call back their fleet, calling back Li Ba and the Supreme King?" the Great Monarch of Annihilation spoke coldly. "You have seen it yourselves, the humans’ summoning technique is almost impossible to replicate."

Indeed, the demigods had originally planned to grasp the humans’ summoning technology, to benefit from it or use it as a countermeasure against banishment.

But now it seemed that the Evil God, Li Ba, was burning himself to illuminate the path back for the real Li Ba. They were essentially the same person, even having ascended to the same demigod throne.

Perhaps for that reason alone they could summon Li Ba back. Copying that seemed meaningless. They could try, but the success rate would be very low.

The same person could perhaps replicate himself through cloning.

But merely offering one’s throne could cost a demigod his life. How could one talk about summoning?

"Now that this guy has just started burning, if we make a move and fail to defeat him, it would be a joke. Not to mention wasting our advantage gratuitously, it would also relieve the humans of any concern for their rear," the Deceiver God of The Destiny Line laughed. "Let’s wait until the Evil God has burned a sufficient amount, and then intervene opportunely. And... that woman is the main reason for the appearance of the Evil God. As long as she dies, everything ends."

"Do you have a way?" the Great Monarch of Annihilation asked darkly. "True to your nature as a crafty divinity, you’ve made arrangements already, I suppose? I just wonder, under these circumstances, if there still would be humans who would betray their own race?"

The deities of Chaos gave no response. Only the God of The Destiny Line let out a sinister laugh.

And a Beastman demigod spoke up, "I reckon that’s all there is to it. And even if Li Ba comes back, we now have eight demigods here. No matter how strong Li Ba is, could he really fight one against eight? And this Evil God is even stronger than Li Ba."

"Then let’s continue to call our legions to besiege Border City, while also diverting part of our military force to restrain the forces from the other giant cities. Don’t let them come and disturb us here," another Different Race divinity laughed. "Meanwhile, we can use this opportunity to project more shadows. Apply enough pressure on the humans. Maybe we can break into the giant city before Li Ba returns."

...

After a series of orders were issued, the battlefield turned into a protracted war of attrition.

The Different Race legions were almost depleting the giant city’s ammunition reserves with their lives.

On the human side, the casualties were also severe, with the Black Great Wall being shattered multiple times by demigod projections or Black Hole Bombs, with many Transcendents or Great Wall players having made the ultimate sacrifice.

Different Race legions broke into Border City on numerous occasions, even with demigod projections leading the charge.

Fortunately, most of the civilians inside Border City had already been transported to other giant cities. Essentially, the city was filled with human soldiers and support staff.

After Wuji displayed his demigod state and cut down the projections with his sword, the humans successfully eradicated the invading Different Race.

But that was all, in just five days, the number of human casualties had exceeded three hundred thousand.

Meanwhile, in the battles in the sky, humans had sunk four Different Race flagship vessels, although the Divine Battle and Netherworld fleets now only had one flagship barely capable of fighting.

The giant city’s air force had nearly been crippled, and the Celestial Soldiers and Generals had suffered thirty percent casualties.

Had it not been for a Great Wall player who, after boarding the enemy’s flagship, detonated it and perished with it, the casualties would have been even greater.

With every passing minute and second, humans were dying. Even if many from the Different Race were killed, an endless stream of enemies would emerge from the battlefield.

"Five days, we have held on for five days. Why haven’t they come back yet?" During their brief rotation and rest periods, the human fighters prayed for the Hellsprings Reverse to arrive soon.

The human players silently readied themselves to continue fighting.

In the center of the Spirit Domain, Chen Yu was however very calm; she had little rest each day, yet showed little sign of fatigue.

Instead, she calmly watched the burning Evil God in front of her, asking, "Can you sense him yet?"

"No, but I am certain he has sensed me," the Crying Hero responded solemnly. "I just hope that guy is fast enough. Those Demigods will surely take action. They are waiting for me to burn out."

"Thank you for your troubles, hero," Chen Yu said softly.

The Crying Hero, engulfed in blue flames, gave no reply but indifferently gazed into the void.

"You’d better hurry up!"

...

Elsewhere, in the Endless Void, Li Changhe was traveling at the fastest speed of a planetary fortress. For over half a month, he advanced at ten percent the speed of light.

Yet the True Gods relentlessly pursued him, their technology equally powerful, if not faster than that of the planetary fortress.

More and more True Gods intervened, obstructing and attacking the planetary fortress.

Even Void Dragons and Trilobites braved the main cannons’ bombardment, directly boarding the planetary fortress to battle with human fighters and mechanical Titans.

In this half month, the human players had exerted themselves to their limits defending against these invaders. Even the captive Lady Nanzhuang was released to bolster the human forces. The difficulty can be imagined.

"How much further?"

This was the question Li Changhe heard most often in the past half month. He could not answer; even at full speed, the star emitting blue light still hung in the starry sky.

During this half-month of interstellar pursuit, he and the players had engaged the True Gods multiple times.

The True Gods, wary of Li Changhe’s Infinite divinity, did not dare to attack directly. However, they found Li Changhe’s weakness and used their spirit-killing strikes on the humans inside the planetary fortress. The fortress’s spirit defense barriers were breached, and over thirty thousand human fighters died on the spot from the True Gods’ spirit-killing effects. Li Changhe himself was so affected that his mind went blank. He only barely recovered after using the Mirror of Reversal. Afterward, the players could only defend with Array Defense inside the fortress while still resisting physical invasion. The pressure was immense.

The planetary fortress’s firepower could suppress those invading forces, but more True Gods caught up to the humans.

Behind a single planetary fortress, over ten True Gods and their various civilization warships pursued. This made even the fortress’s firepower insufficient to cope. Twelve mechanical Titans fell, just barely maintaining the battle conditions.

"With so many True Gods chasing us, even if we can go back, it would bring devastating blows to that world," the Supreme King said solemnly. "We must shake them off before we return."

"I know," replied Li Changhe, who had just been outside the planetary fortress’ chamber, exchanging blows with a True God Void Dragon, spitting out a mouthful of blood. "It seems that what was meant for the Different Race’s Demigods must be used here."
