Chapter 216: War in the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra

"The next leader of the God-Forbidden Sect, ruined by my hand?"

"This grudge, it seems, has truly grown deep."

"But if things continue to develop this way, it seems the King of Joy won't have a chance to seek revenge on me in the future."

"I have also obtained a portion of the God-Forbidden Sect's inheritance; although I have no use for it, it comes in handy right now to clear up my confusion."

"If it's a special weapon, could it be the 【Nest of Abomination】?"

"That would be too miserable."

From the scenes on the satellite surveillance, Li Yu seemed to have already foreseen the King of Joy's future fate.

Since he had been abandoned by the God-Forbidden Sect and was to be transformed, he would naturally be unable to seek revenge on him again.

Saying he was miserable was because Li Yu happened to know a transformation path that was extremely suitable for the King of Joy.

Within the inheritance of the God-Forbidden Sect!

The Nest of Abomination is both a special weapon and a means to breed powerful strange objects and servants.

The object it imitates is, naturally, the "God of Forbidden," which can infinitely divide and propagate various forbidden monsters.

This evil god has no distinction between male and female.

It governs divine attributes such as "autophagy," "taboo," and "evil."

However, the difference is that the Nest of Abomination can only breed one type of monster called the 【Child of Abomination】.

This monster possesses a perverted body with near-immortal strength, as well as extremely strong imitation abilities; it grows stronger the more it fights, and stronger the closer it is to death, making it a true high-level war weapon.

Wherever it passes, it leaves behind total devastation.

The only flaw is that the Child of Abomination is a consumable; it is exceptionally fierce during combat, but it is a short-lived species.

Within a dozen days, it will die suddenly on its own.

"The primary condition for the birth of a Nest of Abomination is that at least one practitioner of the God-Forbidden path at the Sequence Four 【Filthy Father】 level must undergo alienation and corruption, manifesting a shell similar to the original God of Forbidden."

"After that, it only needs to be slowly catalyzed."

"The King of Joy is indeed a perfect fit; tsk tsk, the once arrogant King of Joy is about to become history."

"Once this matter is confirmed, I imagine the commoners and their families who had their livers and brains eaten by this old perverted cannibal back in the Gan Capital will all receive some small comfort."

Li Yu sighed, as if he had completely forgotten that he was the culprit behind the downfall of the King of Joy's estate.

A powerhouse at the Sequence Four level can live for at least a thousand years without illness or disaster.

Now, because of his excessive greed and underestimation of the enemy, he had been thoroughly tricked by Li Yu.

And Li Yu, feeling quite at ease after seeing the movements of his mortal enemy, began to look at the other three surveillance screens.

And very quickly, he caught sight of a scene that interested him:

War!

Or rather, a small-scale war triggered after espionage activities were exposed.

Right in a deep valley, far from the Ancient God camp and deep within the core area of the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra.

An extremely chaotic war was underway!

There were three sides participating.

They were, respectively, a considerable number—up to ten thousand—of Tundra Zombies, their entire bodies covered in solid ice, their eyes deep blue; each zombie could release terrifying pollution, and what was even more bizarre was that they coordinated with each other, plus the zombies' unique immortal characteristics, making them the side currently occupying the advantage in the melee.

The other two sides were an equally terrifying number of various birds and strange beasts capable of releasing thunder and lightning, as well as their commanders, dozens of "Fleshy-Winged Warriors" who clearly came from the Lei Shen Department of the Haotian Sect, and several practitioners who should be of a higher sequence... as well as hundreds of mechanical soldiers clearly produced by the 【Holy Nest】.

Although the last side had the fewest numbers, they dealt out terrifying damage.

The frozen earth in that deep valley was as hard as iron.

But under the mechanical soldiers' wave after wave of firepower, it was turning into a deep pit.

However, by comparison, their combat power was still inferior to those ten thousand Tundra Zombies, because they not only had immortal bodies but could also release some divine abilities and strange arts, and because they were clearly "Tundra natives," they had powerful buffs.

The reason the war hadn't ended was that the Tundra Zombies were fighting both sides at once.

If they had targeted one side alone first, it would have ended long ago.

The weakest side was undoubtedly that group of Fleshy-Winged Warriors.

That they hadn't been wiped out yet was because they had taken a slight advantage by securing "air superiority."

From this surveillance footage, one could also see how vast the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra was; it was already a massive scale of war, yet all the commotion was still completely buried deep within the tundra.

The outside world knew nothing.

Even the Ancient God camp, located within the same tundra, knew nothing.

The Ten Thousand Strange Tundra was like this, and the other two major forbidden lands were just as vast and immense.

It was no wonder Wanfu City felt that once they successfully opened up the three forbidden lands and established a nation, their territory would not be weaker than any of the three major nations.

Outsiders didn't know, but Li Yu did; not only did he know, but he could watch it in real-time.

The two flesh-and-blood satellites monitoring the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra area had captured the entire sequence of events.

At the same time, an intelligent commentary appeared:

"The unit on patrol today in the third southeast sector of the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra is a 【Holy Nest Blood Guard】, composed of hundreds of mechanical blood guards, equipped with defensive cultivation technique functions."

"During the patrol, the Blood Guard team discovered intruders, observed to be the vanguard of the Lei Shen Department under the Haotian Sect of the Gan Kingdom."

"Composed of dozens of Fleshy-Winged Warriors and six Sequence Five 【Thunder Axe Officials】 of the Lei Shen path, this vanguard team attempted to bypass the many taboos within the forbidden land to open up a secret, safe path. After being discovered, war broke out between the two sides."

"The commotion of the slaughter unexpectedly awakened a 【Cold Ghost Tribe】 within the tundra, and both sides were simultaneously attacked by the Cold Ghost Tribe."

"Starting to predict the outcome of this war!"

"Prediction complete!"

"Based on existing footage and real-time progress, it can be inferred that the Lei Shen Department vanguard will be wiped out within half an incense stick of time, the Blood Guard unit will suffer heavy damage, and the Cold Ghost Tribe will be the sole winner."

"Hmm?"

A result that surprised Li Yu very much appeared on the screen.

That the Lei Shen Department vanguard would all die was easy to understand.

Li Yu himself felt they were beyond saving.

To go deep into the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra for espionage and get discovered—if they could still escape back, the three nations and six sects would have raised their armies to attack long ago.

But that the final winner was that group of "Tundra Zombies" was a bit puzzling.

This work was organized and uploaded by...

However, very quickly, this flesh-and-blood satellite wonder, which was networked with the 【Holy Nest AI】, possessed primary intelligence, and had been completely taken over by Hong Dou, gave a well-reasoned explanation.

At the same time, it also included some secrets that Li Yu did not know.

"Cold Ghosts are one of the most common strange objects within the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra; their essence is any life form that died in the tundra and was accidentally activated into a zombie, not referring solely to the human race."

"However, there are billions of Cold Ghosts, but only individuals who have awakened 'wisdom' can combine with each other to form tribes."

"Possessing wisdom means having rights equal to the human race."

"The City Lord's Mansion is already considering that if the development of the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra is fully achieved and it is incorporated into the territory of the Wanfu Kingdom, then special strange object races such as Cold Ghosts, Merfolk, and Tree Demons can also be granted the rights of 'Wanfu Citizens' to become a part of the vast nation."

"Of course, this is limited to high-level strange objects capable of self-control."

"And once the number of members in a Cold Ghost tribe exceeds ten thousand, a large number of elite individuals with powerful divine abilities will be born among them, as well as one 【Cold Ghost King】 with extremely high wisdom; this King will automatically become a 【Cold God's Chosen】, possessing the divine ability to summon the evil god to descend and inflict divine punishment."

"Within a dozen breaths, the Cold Ghost King in this tribe will pray to the 【Cold God】 to descend and inflict divine punishment, killing both sides."

"All Cold Ghosts and tribes within the tundra believe in and follow the same evil god."

"The Cold God!"

"The Cold God is an extremely mysterious and special evil god."

"It governs divine attributes such as cold and death."

"No one knows where its original body is, but there are rumors that at least a part of the 【Cold God】's body exists within the Ten Thousand Strange Tundra."

"And, it is still alive."

"Hmm?"

Although Li Yu also knew that there was everything within the three forbidden lands surrounding Wanfu City.

But this footage and commentary still made him unable to help but be surprised.

So it turns out there are actually "living" evil gods inside the three forbidden lands, not just corpses?

Furthermore, among the human relatives with high intelligence inside, besides wild people, cave dwellers, merfolk, etc., another type, the Cold Ghosts, had been added?

Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion wants to build a super-nation that gathers together all kinds of intelligent races, including humans, whose factions all lean toward chaotic evil? Is their ambition that big?

Just as many thoughts were bursting into Li Yu's mind, the satellite footage quickly changed.

As an individual wearing armor and an iron crown stood out from among the ten thousand Tundra Zombies, it uttered a bizarre prayer in a gibberish language.

The next moment, in the deep valley that was being washed by both thunder and artillery fire.

A massive dark cloud covered the top, and a humanoid silhouette larger than a mountain appeared; after it spat a breath of Qi toward the valley below, a visible deep-blue "Extreme Cold Storm" began to rage.

In an instant, the three-way melee ended.

That considerable number of thunder-attribute birds and strange beasts, those dozens of Fleshy-Winged Warriors, plus the six Thunder Axe Officials, almost without much struggle, all turned into lumps of ice, falling like dumplings into the deep valley, shattering into pits and valleys of icy fragments.

Those mechanical blood guards seemed to have received a warning from the "flesh-and-blood satellite" in advance and fled a step earlier.

Although most of them also turned into lumps of ice and remained in the deep valley forever, a small portion still managed to escape.

The outcome was indeed as predicted: one side was wiped out, one side suffered heavy losses.

The sole winner: the Cold Ghost Tribe.

Inside the Immortal Castle, Li Yu, having watched this incredibly spectacular drama for free, exclaimed that it was truly satisfying.

Hongdou's evolution to replenish spirit energy had come at just the right time.

The Sacred Nest's "Starlink Project" had also come at a very good time.

After Hongdou intercepted it, it did more than just fill a gap in Li Yu's field of vision.

It also greatly satisfied his thirst for knowledge, which in turn accelerated the rapid charging of the Truth Bubble.

Usually, in Wanfu City or any of the major strange domains, as long as Li Yu could seize a small opportunity or loophole, he could stir up a great deal of trouble.

Now that such a huge benefit had been abruptly delivered to his doorstep, how could Li Yu let it pass?

In an instant, many ways to play with it occurred to Li Yu.
