Chapter 3041

The human forces' frantic assault on the Heavenly Palace and the Barbarian Demon Kingdom finally forced the Holy Lord of the Spirit Void to prematurely activate the Divine Descent Plan.

At that moment, his heart was filled with a hundred mixed emotions.

He firmly believed his actions were correct, and this would soon be verified. However, the large-scale turmoil and slaughter in the human world would also come earlier due to his arrangements!

Countless causes and effects in this world would again be stirred by him.

"Could the Heavenly Palace not be a bit more generous and reveal the location of the Divine Descent?"

"No."

"It seems the pools still aren't that fearless. But the Holy Lord of the Spirit Void's move is about to figure out people's hearts." He Lingchuan rubbed his face, thinking he still needed to ask Naluotian to see if he could get more information on the descent locations.

The War Alliance had been inquiring about the locations of the Gods' Descent for days, but this secret was stubbornly guarded by the Heavenly Demons, or rather, those in the know—including the Holy Lord of the Spirit Void—were simply too few, so the War Alliance's heavenly spies could uncover nothing.

The main descent locations of the demon horde were undoubtedly on the Bei Jia battlefield, within the Heavenly Palace's sphere of influence. But the War Alliance worried: where else would they extend their demonic claws?

The so-called "Divine Descent" is not only a large-scale airborne operation, but also the opening curtain of the Heavenly Demons' first wave of fierce attacks!

For every additional descent location the War Alliance knows, it can prevent one catastrophe from spreading across the human world.

But He Lingchuan dared not hope too much. Back then, obtaining the formula for the secret medicine "Qianchang" that controlled the Barbarian Demon King was a sheer fluke. Even if he were the God of Fate, he would not dare hope for a second such stroke of luck.

Immortal Mingke asked: "Why does the Holy Lord of the Spirit Void want the Heavenly Palace to spread the accurate time of the Heavenly Demons' descent to the mortal realm? Isn't that letting us prepare?" "If we don't even know the exact descent location of the Heavenly Demons, how can human preparation ever be sufficient?" He Lingchuan pressed his temples, "The Holy Lord of the Spirit Void revealing the descent time is actually a psychological tactic, capable of numbing most people. Just wait and see—later, not only ordinary soldiers and civilians, but even immortals will be deceived. In fact,"

He continued slowly: "The life-and-death struggle between the Heavenly Demons and us began the moment the Heavenly Palace announced the descent time."

Immortal Mingke quickly said: "Yes, the Heavenly Palace also issued an ultimatum: within the next fifteen days, any faction—sect, human nation, or powerful scattered immortal—that pledges allegiance to the Heavenly Demons will receive a safe-conduct pass, allowing them to gain protection after the Heavenly Demons descend to the world and avoid the calamity of sect extermination and national destruction!"

"Luring with benefits and harms, as expected." Combined with the great terror brought by the Heavenly Demons' descent to the world, the Heavenly Demons began to widely divide and weaken the general forces of the human world.

Led by Cangyan, the War Alliance seeks to gather all the world's strength to resist the Heavenly Demons, so the Holy Lord of the Spirit Void must correspondingly weaken the War Alliance's combat foundation. Their struggle began even before the Heavenly Demons descended to the world.

Immortal Mingke also worried: "The Heavenly Demons' descent to the world is already imminent, and with this ultimatum from the Heavenly Palace, I fear many sects and small nations will turn to them."

"Not strange." He Lingchuan said, "These factions originally didn't want to fight, considering their own strength insufficient to resist the Heavenly Demons, and thinking the War Alliance would have no time to attend to their life or death when the time comes, so for self-preservation, it's better to first compromise with the Heavenly Demons."

Afterwards, he communicated with Sun Fuling and informed her of this.

"Do these Xian Sects think that by yielding first to the Heavenly Demons, they can stay out of it? Naive!" Sun Fuling has spent two lifetimes fighting the Heavenly Demons and inherited part of Mitian's memories, so she understands the pools' nature better than anyone: "When the Heavenly Demons first descend, to show they keep their word, they may not immediately trouble them, but later there will be plenty of ways to coerce them. By then, these factions will have already severed ties with the War Alliance and find no other aid, so they can only obediently follow the Heavenly Demons' words, even allowing themselves to be slaughtered."

"If this war requires the Heavenly Demons to give their all, how could they let these factions idly stand by as wallflowers?" He Lingchuan shook his head, "But there will certainly be factions that believe the Heavenly Demons' lies and surrender to them."

This can only be described in four characters:

Inevitable.

The world is too vast; it's impossible for all factions to unite as one rope to resist the Heavenly Demons.

Some stand tall with arms outstretched to shield the people from wind and rain, while naturally others shrink their heads and necks, exerting no effort, thinking that when the sky falls, a tall person will hold it up. Sun Fuling glanced out the window; the night was deep:

"If we can't wait for tomorrow's gathering at the Guo Long Ridge, then tonight you all had better get busy."

Time is urgent; we can't wait until tomorrow morning.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, Mu Di's long-distance contact divine ability arrived.

The War Alliance held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Nowadays, the world changes one variable after another, dazzling the eyes.

The former leisurely times that lasted thousands of years without change are gone forever.

Before dawn, Dong Rui burst into He Lingchuan's study.

He usually wakes up much later than He Lingchuan, and if there's no major reason, he wouldn't come looking for Jiuyou at this time.

Dong Rui pushed open the door and his first words were:

"The antidote has been developed, the antidote for Green Mold!"

He Lingchuan couldn't help but slam the table and let out a long sigh: "Heaven helps me too!"

Today's first piece of good news.

"Heaven helps? Can heaven control you?" Dong Rui blew his beard and glared, "Obviously, it's me and the Red General who developed it!"

The Red General used deathly power to derive it, he came to refine and repeatedly test it, each fulfilling their respective duties.

"Yes, yes, you two are truly my lucky stars."

Taking mature water can only be used for prevention, and it's useless for patients already infected with Green Mold. The antidote Dong Rui now produces, after consumption, can eradicate Green Mold within half an hour and leave no side effects.

But He Lingchuan's next question was: "Why did it take so long?"

Cangyan invested heavily in this research, and whatever Dong Rui and the Red General needed, He Lingchuan unconditionally satisfied. This matter itself is too serious; early results would mean early prevention and treatment.

The thing the Holy Lord of the Spirit Void specially concocted, no joke.

"This Green Mold looks fragile, but it actually has two faces. The first is its seemingly harmless everyday state. But if it receives strong stimulation, it becomes extremely violent!"

"Violent?" He Lingchuan frowned, "Will it turn the host into a corpse, uh, monster?"

"Your imagination is truly rich." Dong Rui sometimes really can't figure out his train of thought, "What use is turning weak civilians into monsters? Can they beat cultivators and armies? Childish!"

Still thinking it's thirty years ago?

"What is that?" Ah, this damned, innate mindset from the original world.

"After this Green Mold receives strong stimulation, it will frenziedly drain the host's vitality—meaning it will suck dry everything from life force to soul." Dong Rui shook out more than a dozen corpses from his storage ring: there were puppet demons, animals, and even two death-row prisoners.
