Chapter 2259

A black mass of enemy troops surged toward the front line where the two zones joined.

There are too many to count; the eyes cannot discern the exact number of all those beings, and the vision cannot encompass such an endless front line.

Xiao Feng only knew that many sectors were coming.

At that moment, the group chat chimed.

"Chaos Divine Nation, three o'clock direction: Evil Realm players have appeared, numbering no less than 500 million!"

"In the eastern part of the Nine Provinces Divine State, Firefly Star Insect Clan players have arrived—too many to count, at least over five billion!"

"Chaos Divine Nation, six o'clock direction: the Zu Jian Xing armada has arrived, with no less than two billion troops!"

"Chaos Divine Nation, nine o'clock direction: the Tian Shen Zu Di legion has come to attack; though their numbers are not large, they look formidable."

"In the western part of the Nine Provinces Divine State, the Fertile Land World has launched an invasion with no less than two billion troops!"

"In the northern part of the Nine Provinces Divine State, the Mechanical Emperor Star fields at least five billion troops!"

Messages kept appearing; these major war zones had all allied and arrived together.

They saw each other as red-named, so each attacked a different direction and did not join forces.

"Lian Congcong also came to attack me; Qian Sha definitely went as a negotiator." Xiao Feng saw the report and said helplessly.

It's understandable; the Blue Star 8 War Zone's fortune is terrifying. Xiao Feng slew one‑fourth of the Myriad Heavens World's venerables, including several top‑tier ones.

He alone took half of the fortune from all the plunderable wild monsters in the world.

The remaining half, however, cannot be found by anyone else.

In other words, the combined fortune of all existing war zones is still less than that of a single Blue Star 8 War Zone.

Not even one percent!

If they don't unite, they have no chance at all; even if they unite, they still have...

A sliver of hope remains, enough to breach the city and defeat the Blue Star 8 War Zone.

Now, the six top war zones have joined forces; the Mechanical Emperor Star may be a bit weaker, but because of its population it remains extremely tough to handle.

Jiang Ning, the commander of this battle, saw the report and gave the decisive order: "The Nine Provinces War Zone is overwhelmed; send half our forces there to help them defend. The Tian Shen Zu Di players are the fewest, so I'll lead an elite squad to engage them. The Zu Jian Xing direction will first stall, awaiting our support, while the Evil Realm will be left to the main force to handle."

The original deployment directions were already set; the Evil Realm's direction happened to be the main force of five hundred million, the strongest, and sufficient to cope.

The Tian Shen Zu Di and Zu Jian Xing directions are relatively weaker, but their numbers are not lacking; they can hold out for a while just fine.

The core elite team goes wherever needed; Jiang Ning leads the first elite squad straight to the western nine‑o‑clock direction, ready to first take down the Tian Shen Zu Di's strong enemies.

Actually, the war zone under the greatest pressure right now is probably the Nine Provinces War Zone.

Their three directions field enemy forces exceeding twelve billion—no laughing matter—overwhelming the Nine Provinces by multiples; even if personnel from the Di Qiu War Zone are teleported in to help, they still struggle to hold them back.

Not long after the commander's order was given, the battle began.

Xiao Feng and Feng Feng Shi watched from the air as the two armies clashed; initially both sides unleashed legion skills, striking from over 5,000 kilometers away— to the naked eye they were just specks of light flying back and forth, with no way to tell what skill was being used.

The light points were too numerous to count, denser than the night‑sky stars; they collided in the heavens, bursting into clusters of different‑colored light.

"The Nine Provinces' situation is a bit...

"It's tough; are you really not going to act?"

Xiao Feng looked at the overall report and asked Feng Feng Shi.

Feng Feng Shi replied: "My father won't let me interfere too much. He says, if we lose, we lose; the Nine Provinces don't need to prove themselves through the game. As long as the children work hard enough, they'll see for themselves."

"Sigh..."

Xiao Feng felt somewhat helpless.

The Nine Provinces are actually supposed to be among the strongest worlds in the entire universe.

One world gave rise to two Dao Ancestors, plus several "Eternal Invincible" powerhouses; the number of rulers exceeds a thousand, and the human populace numbers over ten trillion.

Such a war zone, yet it has only a few billion regular players—thinking about it is rather depressing.

But this can't be blamed on anyone.

Others say the Nine Provinces World has a mature cultivation system and a fulfilling life, so very few players seek "spiritual fulfillment."

Furthermore, this game is meant as a stepping stone for ordinary worlds; the Nine Provinces and Blue Star 1, which already enjoy Dao Ancestor protection, really don't need to compete.

The same goes for the Evil Realm and Tian Shen Zu Di; it's just that their leader players want to achieve and earn the Dao Ancestor's favor, so they keep striving.

In a sense, Blue Star 8 has already won.

Now what's lacking is merely a formality.

"Hopefully after the hegemony ends, Zichen will have a good place to go." Xiao Feng sighed.

"Of course, she's excellent." Feng Feng Shi gave an affirmative answer.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden has already said she would take Han Zichen as a disciple; Xiao Feng also knows this.

But he doesn't know what level this "disciple" is.

Nominal, formal, true transmission—the differences are significant.

"Xiao Feng."

Feng Feng Shi suddenly shouted at him.

"How?" Xiao Feng looked at her.

This Dao Ancestor's daughter, not knowing what she thought of...

"What?" She suddenly gave a faint smile and said, "Maybe I should go fight for a while; it seems someone is speaking ill of me."

"Uh... speaking ill of me?" Xiao Feng was taken aback.

He hadn't heard any such talk; who would dare to slander the ancient ancestor of the Nine Provinces World from millions of years ago, or the daughter of the Dao Ancestor?

Feng Feng Shi said: "During the spacetime rift we earned so much honor, but upon merging into the Nine Provinces it all vanished; outsiders are outsiders, not reliable at all."

Xiao Feng felt awkward: "Is that the original words?"

This remark was obviously not something Feng Feng Shi said herself; she must have heard it from somewhere, though she doesn't know where.

"Hmm." She nodded.

"Then go ahead, saving face still needs to be done, being detached from worldly affairs is another matter." Xiao Feng chuckled.

Every day she's cursed behind her back; even if she herself doesn't care, she must clear the name of the three characters "Feng Feng Shi".

After all, these three characters symbolize Fuxi.

"I'm leaving; you also act according to the situation, otherwise this level won't be easy to pass."

Feng Feng Shi casually reached out, and an ancient zither appeared, resting across her lap.

The nine-colored phoenix's wings flickered, and it flew toward the direction of the Kyushu Divine Kingdom.

Xiao Feng stayed where he was, continuing to monitor the changes in the situation.

After a while, the celestial crane beneath him spoke in human words: "Big brother, why not let me go fight? These past few years you haven't gone out adventuring; I'm always sticking with Xiao Qing, nothing new happens, I'm so lonely."

Xiao Feng was speechless, then nodded and said: "Alright, go then, watch your mouth, don't curse at everyone; nowadays many opponents have huge backgrounds and are related to the Dao Ancestor."

"Gee, big brother, you're saying that, I'm not that kind of outspoken bird"

"?"

He Xianzi flapped her wings, her body swayed, and she turned into a humanoid form.

Following Xiao Feng's breakthrough, she also underwent Tribulation and became an Ancestral God-level divine beast, her attributes extremely domineering.

Having obtained Xiao Feng's permission, she reached into the Tian Tian Bao Nang, rummaging around, took out several Supreme Treasures and equipment, then set off.

The nine-tier spirit beast mount has a high degree of freedom; she can also wear equipment and has combat strength, it's just that she hasn't fought in these years.
