Chapter 227
"Since they have entered the field, then I will tell them how this game should be played!"
"One month, end the invasion, make preparations, and attack the North District."
The decision was final.
The people of the Jiuzhou Territory stood up, bowed in unison to their lord, and turned to leave the hall.
The lords of the Tianqu Alliance also stood up, bowing to Chen Ping with admiration.
For this North District operation, Chen Ping refused their participation, so they could only wish Chen Ping well.
Huang Qi also left the hall, immediately returning to his territory to prepare the army.
Although his main force was destroyed in the North District, a portion of his troops had previously escaped into the mist.
As long as they were retrieved, the skeleton would still be there.
Once everyone had left, only Milan and Chen Ping remained in the council chamber.
At this time, some things could truly be spoken openly.
"What kind of conspiracy do you think is behind this?"
Milan looked at Chen Ping, wanting to hear the most direct thoughts of the person involved.
"This is a collaboration between gods and demigod-level powerhouses; the former covets supreme dimensional power, the latter wants to become a god."
"That ray of light that killed me that day was definitely a god's strike."
"But the existence hidden behind the death qi was not as powerful as a god."
Chen Ping recalled the scene of that day and said to Milan.
When Milan heard him say "killed," her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
The purple-haired ice beauty had originally thought that nothing in this exploration could pose a threat to Chen Ping.
She didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
She felt she should stick close to Chen Ping from now on; he was not reassuring at all.
As for how Chen Ping survived a god's strike, Milan knew without thinking that it was the credit of the Knowledge Imprint.
As for how the gods and demigods cleverly bypassed the "rule restrictions."
Chen Ping guessed the key point lay with Lu Fei.
Lu Fei was directly killed by Chen Ping at the Sea of Wonders, and at the time, they hadn't cared about the whereabouts of Lu Fei's corpse at all.
Now it seemed that Lu Fei had been picked up by one of the four gods present that day.
Ancestor of Mystery, Sage of Arcana, Trickster Traveler, Traveler of Myriad Worlds.
These four gods, all were suspects.
Chen Ping guessed that the gods actually still didn't dare to openly intervene in the trial; they needed a medium.
Then Lu Fei, because of his intense obsession with Chen Ping, became a pawn that could be utilized.
Lu Fei, resurrected by the undead, was actually no longer the original him.
The person behind the scenes used Lu Fei's identity to intervene in the Lord Trial, thereby launching their own experiment.
Lu Fei was like a knife; the knife-wielder hid behind the scenes, avoiding the attention of the highest dimension.
"I agree with your judgment."
"True resurrection or undead transformation, although there is some soul loss, definitely wouldn't behave so outrageously."
Milan expressed agreement with Chen Ping's guess.
If Lu Fei had been resurrected, he wouldn't have been so crazy that day.
That was a thoroughly out-of-control madman.
Just a pawn that only possessed Lu Fei's identity.
To avoid the attention of the highest dimensional power, the other party needed a pawn like Lu Fei, so they picked him up.
Existing because of obsession, one must inevitably go mad because of obsession.
The other party used Lu Fei's obsession to complete the design of the Undead Continent, but because of Lu Fei's obsession, they provoked Chen Ping.

Milan only then realized that Chen Ping's previous apparent impulsiveness, his apparent recklessness due to indignation.
In reality, he had long analyzed all the causes behind it.
The plot of the North District, if left to develop, would inevitably become more and more terrifying.
At the current stage, because of the mist, the other party's undead could not act in the mist, so they were at peace.
But if they waited for the mist to disappear, and the North District's Undead Continent erupted completely, no one could guarantee what the Lord Trial would turn into.
Whether for the smoothness of the trial or for the anger in his heart.
Chen Ping had to shatter their premeditation as soon as possible, and the faster, the better.
As for why he didn't try to summon the lords of other districts?
Even the Tianqu Alliance felt puzzled by Chen Ping's decision.
Others would only think Chen Ping was playing tricks.
Even if they knew in their hearts that what Chen Ping said was true, why should they listen to his command?
They would only let Chen Ping test the waters first, and then they would act according to the situation.
So in the end, it was actually the same result.
Since that was the case, why should Chen Ping waste his effort?
"Understood, I will urge the resolution of this invasion as soon as possible."
"At the same time, the territory will accelerate this major equipment upgrade, trying to complete the re-equipping of half the legions within a month."
"As for you, you are not allowed to go out casually within this month."
Milan stood up, still as cold as ever.
The last sentence left Chen Ping crying and laughing.
But he also knew that he had indeed encountered big trouble; the absolute defense would only finish charging within a month.
Before that, Milan would never give him a chance to go out and roam.
Just as well, Chen Ping had no heart to explore any mist now.
Chen Ping's resolution quickly spread throughout the Tianqu Alliance, and everyone changed their goals, beginning to prepare for Chen Ping's expedition.
The other lords of the East District were even more dumbfounded after learning of the Tianqu Alliance's decision.
They inquired one after another what the Tianqu Alliance wanted to do, but no news was returned.
Within the Jiuzhou Territory, ten blast furnaces were lit simultaneously, and batch after batch of equipment and divine metal were transported into the factory.
The craftsmen smelted equipment day and night, and other lords of the Tianqu Alliance also sent their own craftsmen to assist.
As for the alchemy workshop, Mai Er also concentrated all power here, vigorously crafting alchemy bombs.
This time he added sacred potion, so it would have special effects against the undead.
Lina had people prepare various corrosion-resistant marching rations and camp equipment.
The Jiuzhou Territory was like a huge machine, now completely activated.
The territory residents had only one sentence for this: whoever the Lord wants to fight, we fight!
Learning of the new combat target, the Jiuzhou legions also became excited.
On the third day, they destroyed almost all the mist stone pillars, completely ending the second wave of the invasion.
Afterward, everyone returned to the territory for final rest and preparation.
No one wanted to be screened out at the last moment.
During this month, Chen Ping stayed in the Lord's Hall, calculating and preparing for the power behind the North District.
The enemy to be faced this time could be called the strongest in history.
And because of the unknown, the risk factor was also extremely high.
In this situation, one careless move could truly lead to eternal damnation.
Chen Ping could take action because of his lingering anger, but he would not allow himself to be defeated due to carelessness.
This was a war with no victory or defeat, only life and death.
Especially since it involved gods, no matter how much he valued it, it was not an exaggeration.
At the same time, in the South District, Natasha also received notification from Tianqu Jiuzhou.
Asking them to defend comprehensively, focusing on defense, ensuring the safety of their own territory and land.
Everything else was not to be considered, waiting for Chen Ping's latest notification.
This news and the sortie of Hill and others in the South District were basically back-to-back.
