Chapter 1615: Chapter 1154: Li Ba, Can’t You Take the Game Seriously? (3K)

Although humans cannot actively attack the Sea Clan Corps located in the deep sea, they have still made ample preparations.

Due to Li Changhe’s emergence, various organizations also ’voluntarily’ united and cooperated in support.

After all, even a Demigod was killed, if they caused any trouble, they’d likely find themselves up against the wall.

With both the native religions and the empire providing strong support, the human strength in this world is more unified than ever before.

Many human players couldn’t help but sigh that although General Li Ba’s methods were overly harsh, the result was indeed good. It reduced a lot of open and secret struggles and mutual sabotage.

Indeed, some fellows are deterred by power rather than virtue.

Whether it was the Tianyan Association hiding within the player groups or some dissatisfied players.

At this moment, they could only submit to the deterrence of Li Ba.

Under such circumstances, the efficiency of human actions had increased unprecedentedly.

Within the five days since the task began, players used various means to evacuate almost all the inhabitants of the islands.

At the same time, defensive fortifications were constructed on various coastal defense lines.

Some forging experts even handcrafted a large number of weapons, arming a multitude of native soldiers.

As for the Qin players, they went straight to deploying a small bioroid factory, starting a frenzy of rapid troop production.

Although their combat effectiveness was average and they lacked self-sufficiency, they could greatly reduce human casualties.

Subsequently, the Black Great Wall and the Spirit Domain were also continuously established.

But the frontline was too long, and the number of native Extraordinary beings, including Divine personnel, was not high.

It was impossible to establish a defensive scale as formidable as the one once in the Netherworld’s Ninety-Nine Cities world.

Perhaps they could deal with a single Demigod, but if there were more than three, the defense lines would probably be breached.

A Great Wall player regretfully said, "It’s a pity that our Strategy Group’s princess is still recuperating; otherwise, our Spirit Domain’s power could be even greater."

He was referring to the spirit body of the Crying Hero. In the Netherworld, with tens of thousands of Transcendents and players, this spirit had once dominated various Demigods from getting close and even countered many assassins from Different Races.

However, after recalling strong humans like Li Changhe, the noodle shop door residing in Chen Yu’s Spirit World was closed, and their life and death are currently unknown.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Yu did not enter this task.

At least... that’s what’s publicly stated.

In the conference room, Li Changhe’s face stiffened slightly, and Xiao Nan glanced at him, speaking calmly, "According to the calculations in the Book of Heaven, I should have become a Demigod after entering this world. Maybe, in the Book of Heaven’s estimations, by becoming a Demigod, I would have been able to confront or even restrain the Sea Clan. Gaining some advantages over the Tianyan Association."

"Very likely, after all, this is the land of your Believers and religion. And your Authority is close to that of the Sea God. If you, Li, became a Demigod, you might be able to establish a Divine Country here and thereby influence or even restrain Atlantis," Huo Qubing replied, "But as we know now, the Book of Heaven is not something good, it seems to be a scheming arrangement."

"Don’t mention your Qin’s Thorough Marquis; the general’s wife is far more distinguished than that," reminded Xu Qingzhi with a grin, then said, "Currently, humans have three Demigods and six Demigod-level combatants. And with the cooperation between the Human Emperor and the general, they can slay a True God. Plus, with the arrangements we have now, we should be able to withstand the assault from the Sea Clan Corps. But the strength of Chaos and Atlantis is unknown."

"Atlantis certainly still has True Gods, and not just a few. According to the myths, back then, the Divinity of Atlantis had more than thirty beings," replied the native Divinity, the Earth God.

"At least over thirty Demigods? Old Li, we’ve got our work cut out for us," Wuji’s face changed slightly at the number, which indeed was quite intimidating. Nearly three years since the start of Evolution Game and the main world had only just over ten human Demigods.

"No, ancient humans could not distinguish between Demigods and divine creatures. Anyone with great power was called Divinity. Among the more than thirty Divinities, it should be mostly divine creatures," responded the Earth God. "And among them, the most prestigious, including the Ancient Sea God and other high Divinities, there were only six Divinities. Their status was extremely high, maybe they’re the ones who could turn the tide against True Gods."

"That is to say, they were originally six God King-level powerhouses, six God Kings... The foundation of the Aquatic Civilization is indeed deep," a player lamented.

Now in the void, there were only a handful of God King-level powerhouses.

On the human side, there were plainly none. Even the First Emperor and Khan, it was under some special conditions that they could unleash God King-level combat power.

Yet the Aquatic Civilization could produce six God Kings all at once; the depth of their foundation was frightening.

It’s hard to imagine such a powerful civilization was ultimately forced to seek survival towards the end.

"Then it’s possible there are still five True Gods, but considering they haven’t made a move before, there must be some constraints—perhaps because Atlantis has not fully revived yet... What about Chaos?"

"Chaos doesn’t wish for the revival of Atlantis either; they will undoubtedly make a move against Atlantis and the Sea Clan," Li Changhe speculated after a moment of thought. "Right now, all three sides are enemies; the Sea Clan intends to inherit the legacy, humans are trying to preserve themselves while preventing the Sea Clan from gaining the inheritance, and Chaos wants to eradicate Atlantis while disposing of humanity as well."

From a certain perspective, does this make Chaos an ally? But humans would never cooperate with Chaos.

This world might be facing a three-way—or even four-way—battle.

Humans must conserve their strength in the upcoming chaos and drag out until the establishment of the Ring World Great Wall.

A Qin player said, "Once the projection of the First Emperor descends into the world, everything will get better."

However, he was then beaten up by the players, who thought he had just jinxed it by raising a flag.

And a few hours later, the voices of Corruption in the void grew stronger.

The human powerhouses’ expressions shifted.

Clearly, the chaotic main force had finally arrived.

Chaos seemed to suddenly gain a foothold, as eight Demigods of Chaos advanced hand in hand into the ’point’ situated in the polar region. The eight Demigods were vigilant against the possibility of a deadly arrow ambushing them.

After that, a massive fleet of Chaos and evil demons poured in.

Hmm... they were emboldened, but not by much...

Then, two immense black shadows emerged one after the other.

One was holding a black and red Demonic sword, with skin of scarlet red, clad in blood-red Demon Armor, and disheveled blood-red hair that emanated an endless aura of slaughter.

The other was a colossal abomination covered in rotting flesh chunks, which grew some sort of flesh mushrooms.

These were the Chaos True Gods from the Evil God of the Blood River and the Great Impurity respectively!

The former was the Demon Sword True God, a formidable warrior who rose from being a champion Demon General to a True God. Commanded by the Blood River, he came to aid this world and slay Li Ba!

The latter was the Corrupted True God from the Plague Garden, a true divine being under the Great Impurity’s command. It’s said that the mushrooms on its body could breed plague creatures similar to the Beastmen. Extremely troublesome.

But clearly, they were already aware of the heroic deeds of Li Changhe and Wuji in slaying a True God, and also knew of the Sea Clan’s Hailing Mountain’s personal arrival.

This caused these True Gods to refrain from acting rashly.

Instead, they each looked towards the human defenders on land and the Sea Clan in the deep sea.

None of the three forces initiated a move first.

Currently, no one had the capability to defeat the other two in one go.

Acting rashly would inevitably lead to the third party taking advantage of the situation.

"It seems the revival of Atlantis still needs some time," the voice of the Demon Sword True God echoed from the void. "Folks, let’s pass the time with a Dueling Generals match, how about it? Those who refuse, shall we band together and besiege him?"

At this moment, if anyone says that the Blood River’s Believers are mindless, they would certainly be making a fool of themselves.

Dueling Generals, as the name suggests, refers to sending out a valiant general from each of two opposing armies to combat each other.

It seldom happens in reality.

However, in the historical reference to ’Romance of the Three Kingdoms’, Hua Xiong fought several friendly generals and eventually was slain by Guan Yu in one strike, while Cao Cao’s wine was still warm — the most renowned Dueling Generals instance.

Now, the purpose of the Chaos True God proposing Dueling Generals was actually twofold.

First, to effectively eliminate opposing powerhouses without triggering a large-scale battle.

There were quite a few Demigods of Chaos, and even considering Wuji, Li Ba, and Hailing Mountain on the opposing side, only about three would need to perish. The tactical acknowledgment, similar to Tian Ji’s horse racing strategy, naturally existed.

Second, as he said, if one side refuses to duel, then they would join forces to eliminate the non-participant. All three forces are very keen on taking out an opponent. The probability of this tactic’s success isn’t low.

"I had thought the Divinity of the Blood River could only confront directly; to think there was also a clever one," Hailing Mountain’s laughter sounded. "Very well, I too wish to witness the skills of everyone. Duel... let’s duel then."

This war was of utmost importance to the Sea Clan. Thus, Hailing Mountain brought with him nearly ten Sea Clan Demigods, which included ancient Sea Clan spirits or Sea Clan players he had reclaimed. If they can exchange them to take out the opponent’s spirits, it’s a gain for the Sea Clan.

Naturally, he agreed to the Dueling Generals. As long as he could obtain the strength of Atlantis, he was willing to sacrifice all the Demigods here! In contrast, human Demigods were not as plentiful...

"Distinguished General Li Ba, do you wish to duel, or shall we besiege you?" the Demon Sword True God looked towards the human defenses.

The human camp did not respond; all the strong beings turned their gaze towards Li Changhe and Wuji, waiting for their decision.

Several seconds later, Li Changhe flashed a grin.

"You’re quite the schemer, not quite like a Divinity from the Blood River, with plenty of tricks up your sleeve," Li Changhe laughed. "Dueling Generals? Then let’s have a fierce duel! I’m handsome, I’ll go first!"

The Sea Clan and Chaos showed a slight change of expression; they hadn’t expected Li Changhe to be so decisive.

Being the side with the least Demigod combatants, he nevertheless accepted the duel, even volunteering to go first.

Aren’t you afraid that later on, human warriors will be annihilated? Shouldn’t you be the last to step in?

However, Li Changhe split into three, with Stubborn Corpse Li Changhe transforming into the Bronze Demon God, spear in hand, ’flying’ up into the sky.

"Come up and meet your death!"

Soldier Karma flourished, with overwhelming battle intent soaring from the Demon God!

Meanwhile, the Good and Evil corpses of Li Changhe were on the shore, eagerly warming up.

For a moment, the forces of Chaos and the Sea Clan were taken aback.

This guy was apparently planning to fight three matches, using each of his Three Pure Ones for a separate duel.

No, even possibly four matches. When the Three Pure Ones combined, it might still count as one.

What’s more pitiful is that even facing just one of the Three Pure Ones, unless a True God or Hailing Mountain took action themselves, the other Demigods couldn’t guarantee a win.

"Li Ba, are you a sore loser?"
