Chapter 682: The Reviving God of Thought, the End of the Sakura Nation

Antares, with "anger" and "depression," drove Jiang Chen away. It only gave a tiny bit of information, yet Jiang Chen launched a whole analysis and deduced a lot.

And even though half of it was speculation, the guesses were almost spot‑on. Antares felt that each extra minute spent with Jiang Chen was a torment to his own intelligence.

In the Human World, the great war raged like a blazing fire.

Bloodshed filled the air, countless members of the Human Race fell in battle, and many minor factions were utterly destroyed.

The Human Race had not seen a war of this magnitude for centuries; within just two days, it suffered massive casualties.

The battlefield was not only on the primal battlefield, but also in the Human World.

The Divine Summer Empire activated the Eternal Great Wall, resulting in the fewest casualties.

In the primal battlefield, the Divine Summer Empire's Nine Fortresses formed a seamless line, like copper walls and iron barriers, firmly holding the front.

Divine-level Strongmen rushed into battle, clashing with the Demon King and the Dragon King, and the fighting was extraordinarily fierce.

As long as this sector of the primal battlefield held, the Demon and Dragon Race allied forces could not reach the Divine Summer Empire in the Human World.

The fortresses of those minor factions fared far worse; their defenses were quickly overrun and the fortresses destroyed.

Subsequently, the Dragon‑Demon allied army passed through the fortresses and entered the Human World.

They appeared right outside the gates of these powers, and the ensuing great war unfolded in the Human World.

Living beings were scorched, with countless deaths and injuries.

One by one, small states and factions were annihilated in the flames of war.

The professionals were slaughtered and scattered in flight.

They had nowhere to seek help; now every nation could not even protect itself.

The Divine Summer Empire sealed its borders, and each city activated defensive formations, almost enveloping the Golden Nation.

Once the Eternal Great Wall was activated, the Divine Summer Empire would allow no one to enter.

Not even a Divine Summer citizen could pass.

No one knows whether the intruder might be a demon's infiltration or have ties to demon worship.

If even one slip occurs, it could cause even greater casualties.

At this moment, there is no humanity to speak of, nor any sympathy.

The only thing left is choosing what to keep and what to discard.

But however strong the Eternal Great Wall is, it cannot stop Antares.

Antares set a fixed‑point teleport and sent Jiang Chen straight back to the White Divine Courtyard. No matter how fierce the external war was, the White Divine Courtyard remained tranquil, like a secluded paradise.

Jiang Chen released Li Xueru and the other two from the Demon‑Slaying Tower.

The three had stayed in the Demon‑Slaying Tower for half a day, and their injuries improved considerably.

"Are we back?" Lao Hong seemed still disbelieving, wondering if he had misseen.

Yan Kuangsheng replied irritably, "Redundant."

Both felt fortunate to have survived the calamity; although they feared not death, no one would willingly seek it.

Li Xueru was far calmer than Lao Hong, "Lu Qingyu, are you alright?" Jiang Chen shook his head, "I'm fine. Though I can't defeat Long Huang, I have no problem protecting myself."

Li Xueru hummed, indicating he understood Jiang Chen's abilities more deeply than Lao Hong and Yan Kuangsheng did.

Especially since Jiang Chen had Antares behind him, self‑preservation was indeed easy. Thus, when he entered the Demon‑Slaying Tower without hesitation, it was really to avoid burdening Jiang Chen.

Lao Hong looked at the sky; due to the formation, the sunlight above shifted.

Li Xueru glanced upward, already having a sense, "The Eternal Great Wall has already been activated; it seems my prediction was correct—the Dragon Race and the Demon really launched an attack."

"This time they are striking on three fronts, a triple‑bird stone."

Yan Kuangsheng said coldly, "If they stay still, that's one thing; the moment they move it's a lethal strike. The Demon Emperor and Long Huang are indeed ruthless."

Jiang Chen asked, "Master, how is the situation now?"

Li Xueru deployed the Divine Summer Tower, "I'll take a look."

The Divine Summer Tower spun continuously in the sky, emitting a multitude of Runes that merged into the formation.

The Eternal Great Wall, this grand formation, not only linked the Nine Fortresses of the primal battlefield but also connected the Divine Summer Empire.

Its scale is even larger than the Soul‑Melding Formation.

The Eternal Great Wall is the result of generations of Divine Summer people's effort, a centuries‑long accumulation finally arranged into shape.

After becoming a Divine-level formation master, Li Xueru began overseeing the maintenance of the Eternal Great Wall.

Thus Li Xueru knows the formation like the back of his hand.

Through formation sensing, Li Xueru discovered the Eternal Great Wall intact; only a few minor cracks, nothing serious.

Li Xueru exhaled, "The Eternal Great Wall still stands."

The others also breathed relief; as long as the Eternal Great Wall remains, the Divine Summer Empire can be at ease,

Lao Hong gritted his teeth, "Lao Meng, take us to the battlefield; I want to kill people."

These past days he had been depressed, first being trapped outright, then almost causing Jiang Chen's death.

He needed to vent, and vent violently.

Yan Kuangsheng and Lao Hong were in similar states, both seething. Li Xueru said, "Now Fortress No. 9 and Fortress No. 8 are under the fiercest assaults, the pressure greatest; you two go to each respectively. Lao Hong to Fortress No. 9, Lao Kuang to Fortress No. 8."

"Wait!" Lao Hong shouted, "Fortress No. 9? The place of Ye Chen Shi, Wang Lin and those guys—can we change the location?"

Li Xueru's expression hardened, "No! It's too late for such concerns. Besides, Senior Ye Chen Shi seems to have come to terms, and the Demon‑Slaying Tower is already in Lu Qingyu's hands; why are you still so petty?"

Lao Hong glared at Li Xueru, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Li Xueru snorted, "Think whatever you like!"

The Divine Summer Tower had already linked to the Eternal Great Wall; a beam of light descended, and Li Xueru projected a law, instantly forming a formation.

Regardless of Lao Hong's consent, he was sent straight to Fortress No. 9.

Then Yan Kuangsheng was dispatched to Fortress No. 8.

These two spots are the most pressure‑filled fortresses in the Yuan Battlefield, and the fighting there is the most intense.

But now that Lao Hong and Yan Kuangsheng have joined, Li Xueru knows it should be worry‑free.

Jiang Chen asked, "Teacher, what about us?"

Li Xueru looked up toward one direction and said, "We aren't going to the Yuan Battlefield; we will guard the national gate."

Shen Xia Tower once again shed its radiance, forming a formation in midair and teleporting the two of them away. The roar of waves slammed into their faces, and they had arrived at the far northeast of the Empire. Li Xueru led Jiang Chen out of the national border, out of the Eternal Great Wall's array, and continued flying northeast for a hundred li.

At this moment, the Shen Xia Empire's borders were already behind the two of them.

The fire of war should, as far as possible, not reach the interior; keeping the enemy out of the gates is the best strategy.

Li Xueru obtained a great deal of information through the Eternal Great Wall's array; Jiang Chen need not ask further, just follow.

Li Xueru pointed northeast and asked, "Do you know which nation lies in that direction?" Jiang Chen nodded, "Shadow Transformation Nation, Kimchi Nation, and a few inconspicuous island nations."

Li Xueru nodded, "A good show is about to begin!"

Less than five minutes after Li Xueru finished speaking, a powerful Energy Fluctuation suddenly arrived.

The energy was extremely intense, carrying the aura of a law.

However, this law was rather odd and very rigid.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw, hundreds of kilometers away, a giant emerging between heaven and earth.

Even from several hundred kilometers apart it could be seen, enough to gauge how massive the giant was—estimated to be well over several thousand meters, truly a figure that touches the sky and stands on the earth.

Jiang Chen wondered, "Is this the Thought God of Shadow Transformation Nation?"

Li Xueru smiled and nodded, "Exactly, that's it."

Jiang Chen seemed to know something, "Shadow Transformation Nation has even deployed its Thought God; it looks like they are in dire peril."

That is the fact; the Thought God is Shadow Transformation Nation's ultimate trump card, and if they have even resorted to it, it means Shadow Transformation Nation is almost finished.

Then the heavens and earth shook violently again; likewise, a hundred kilometers away, a High Mountain rose from the ground and transformed in midair into a powerful Warrior.

The Thought God of Kimchi Nation also awakened!
