Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 350: Advance, No Retreat
This impromptu meeting was very sudden; Lin Feng only received the notification yesterday afternoon.

Before the meeting, no one knew what the meeting would be discussing.

Just as no one expected, Hong Tao would use this sentence as his opening remark.

These words immediately caused everyone's expressions to turn serious.

Some people trembled slightly, as if they were being pressed down by something heavy, or as if an invisible hand was gripping their heart, making it hard to breathe.

Everyone knows how important this battle for the key is.

The portals are divided into ten star levels.

The ten-star portal is also known as a catastrophe.

Eleven-star level spatial gates have never appeared and have never been officially named, but many netizens refer to them as the end of the world.

This means that when the portal merges, the end of the world will arrive.

Whether the key battle fails or the portal is successfully integrated, the world's first apocalyptic-level portal will appear in the capital.

The world inside the portal is extremely stable and cannot be closed.

Even emperors and invincible powerhouses can unleash their full combat power without any suppression.

Spatial portals vary in shape and size worldwide. Generally, their area does not exceed ten square meters, and the largest does not exceed twenty square meters. This size makes it impossible for a large number of supernatural beings to pass through at the same time, and even if supernatural beings invade, it is easy to defend against them.

A concentrated bombardment would inflict heavy casualties on the aliens, making it impossible for them to break through.

The portal in front of us is large enough to allow hundreds of people to pass through at the same time.

And it is expanding at a rate visible to the naked eye.

No one knows how big the portal will eventually be. Even if it stops now, such a large area will be dispersed and weakened by artillery bombardment.

This portal will also become the gateway for a massive invasion by supernatural beings.

At that time, the capital will face attacks and invasions from supernatural beings at any time.

The consequences were so severe that one can only imagine.

At this moment, no one spoke; they simply looked up at Emperor Hong and the spatial gate behind him.

Despite the solemn and even fearful expressions on everyone's faces, Hong Tao remained calm and continued:
"We don't yet know why the space gate was able to merge ahead of schedule, but we can foresee that this fusion will not only happen once. No one can predict where it will happen next; it could be in other base cities or other countries."

"If this spatial gate fusion is successful and the aliens obtain the key, it is foreseeable that a second and a third doomsday-level spatial gate will appear one after another, not long after."

"According to my prediction, when the third doomsday-level spatial gate appears, that day will be the day when the Divine Martial Continent launches a full-scale invasion."

At this point, Hong Tao paused slightly, without describing in detail the consequences of the alien invasion.

Because everyone knows it.

It's far more than just rivers of blood and widespread suffering.

"That sounds rather frightening."

Yu Qiao muttered to himself amidst the crowd.

"It's not scary at all."

Lin Feng smiled, but his smile was extremely cold.

At that moment, a series of images flashed through his mind.

The memory of the horrific scene of corpses strewn everywhere was a hundred or a thousand times more impactful than any words could convey.

He knew better than anyone what the outcome would be if the Extraordinary Ones arrived.

This is why he still refined the nightmare even though he knew it was an evil spirit and would have all sorts of aftereffects.

Hong Tao floated in mid-air, looking down at the people below. Compared to before, his tone gradually became serious:
"This battle for the key is different from the past. This time there is no way out; we can only move forward, not retreat."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The person, who was already pale, was now even more bloodless, and his legs felt weak.

Even Lin Feng, whose expression had been calm, showed a slight change.

Only advance, never retreat!

That would be far more than just a battle.

This is a bloody battle with no way out.

With no hope of escape and no possibility of escape, those who enter this chaotic land have no choice but to fight.

This can indeed unleash a person's full fighting power, but it's too cruel.

"Will it result in mutual destruction?"

In Lin Feng's view, this was a way for the higher-ups to use such a mutually destructive and extremely brutal battle to make even the supernatural beings wary and fearful.

The Divine Martial Continent is home to different races, each with its own power, which leads to disagreements.

They also fear death.

Even if the spatial gates are successfully merged, there will inevitably be some concerns if the casualties are too heavy.

Even though this is an unavoidable war, everyone wants to survive to the end and enjoy the fruits of victory, rather than be the first to become cannon fodder.

Hong Tao wanted to use a bloody price to deter the Divine Martial Continent from launching a second spatial gate fusion.

"That's ruthless! This reward won't be easy to get!"

Yu Qiao grinned and said.

Yun Kai and the others' expressions also became serious, no longer as relaxed as before.

If that's the case, the casualties will be more than half, and there's even a possibility of total annihilation.

Inside the Jade Seal spatial gate, the seven of them hunted down the supernatural beings. Although they knew it was very dangerous, even if they were no match for them, they were confident that they could escape through the spatial gate.

But this time, there is no turning back!
If they don't get the key, they can only fight until the moment their lives end.

They entered the chaotic land, which was far more dangerous for them than for others.

The extraordinary people hated them to the core and would never let them go, especially since there was a bounty on their heads.

Even though they were confident in their own strength and the strength of the alliance, this kind of battle with no way out still made them worried.

You should know that this time they will be facing all the enemies of the Divine Martial Continent.

"Isn't this asking us to fight to the death?"

"Does the Emperor mean that even if the Extraordinary Ones obtain the key, we cannot retreat and must still fight them to the death?"

"Perhaps if the supernatural being obtains the key, they can get out?"

"That's what you think. What if it isn't?"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their faces grim. Some of them had entered the Chaotic Lands to obtain rewards. Under normal circumstances, they would have no chance of acquiring Diamond Soul Skills.

This might be the only chance to obtain a diamond-level soul skill.

Of course, besides the rewards, some people also fight for their country.

But this only means they are willing to fight for their country and the superhumans, not that they are willing to sacrifice their lives for their country.

It is possible to die and to fight to the death; these are different concepts.

The vast majority of people thought that if they couldn't win, they could still retreat.

Lin Feng was no exception.

Now, Hong Tao's words have cut off everyone's escape route, which is unacceptable to them.

Many people felt they had been cannon fodder, and their expressions revealed a hint of anger.

"Will an emperor enter this time?"

Someone asked in a low voice, their tone tinged with sarcasm.

The atmosphere became increasingly depressing.

With a sound, many people looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The previously closed gate is now slowly opening.

"If you have fear in your heart, you can give up."

Hong Tao said calmly, his tone showing little emotion.

The crowd's reaction was exactly what he had expected.

Many people looked at each other, their eyes flickering slightly. Many wanted to give up because of fear, dissatisfaction, or other reasons, but no one immediately stood up.

"You have two minutes to consider. Once the door closes again, there will be no turning back."

Hong Tao said something, and then slowly closed his eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, some people began to walk towards the gate.

This is a young man. Facing the gaze of others, he lowers his head, his expression is somewhat stiff, and his eyes dart away, as if he is somewhat ashamed and embarrassed.

After the first one appeared, the second one followed closely behind, and then the third one.
"A bunch of cowards."

"A piece of trash, all that big for nothing, just a waste of resources."

"How ridiculous! Even the king is afraid. How shameful."

Someone shouted angrily, and those who left lowered their heads, offering no rebuttal, but simply quickening their pace.

Lin Feng silently watched the departing people.

There were originally more than 400 people present, but in less than a minute, about 100 people left, and some were still hesitating.

Two minutes later, the gate closed, and the number of people decreased by a third, leaving only three hundred.

Eight people from Hongyun University came this time, but now only five remain, three fewer than before.

The professional players are the most pitiful, with only 9 left.

Not only geniuses, but also many king-level powerhouses have left.

To Lin Feng's surprise, at least twenty or thirty people were missing from the area where the Glory Clan was located.

Clearly, life is more important than honorary titles.

With the imminent invasion of the supernatural, some people believe that even the title of honor is of little value.

"Yang Qing!"

Lin Feng noticed Yang Qing sitting quietly in a chair in the crowd, but he wasn't surprised.

He knew that the person sent by the Yang family this time was Yang Qing.

This was something Yang Ningbing told him seemingly casually.

Lin Feng didn't pay any attention to this.

Yang Qing kept his head down, showing no reaction to the discussions around him, as if the meeting had nothing to do with him.

Seemingly sensing someone watching him, he slightly raised his head and quickly caught Lin Feng's gaze.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes equally indifferent, before simultaneously shifting their gazes away, as if they were strangers.

"Is this meeting just for screening people?"

Yue Mingming looked at the dispersing crowd and asked in surprise.

"Do you think the country has that many diamond-level soul skills?" Lin Feng said.

Diamond-level Soul Skills are extremely rare; even nations don't possess many of them.

The main purpose of this meeting was to force those who didn't want to put in the effort but were only after the rewards to withdraw.

These people's efforts to seize the key are not very helpful and may even have a negative impact.

The meeting had a significant impact and generated considerable controversy.

Of the 127 honorary families nationwide, 53 were stripped of their honorary titles this time because they failed to send representatives.

Those who desert their posts at the last minute will inevitably face unprecedented ridicule and questioning.

Professional players were the first to be affected.

Originally, there were only 23 professional players who attended the meeting and planned to enter the Chaotic Lands. After the meeting, only 9 remained.

More than half of the professional players deserted at the last minute, making the Glory League a laughing stock.

Professional players have therefore been ridiculed and boycotted nationwide.

All major Glory esports events were suspended.

Moreover, apart from Ye Xing and a few others, the advertisements endorsed by other professional players have also disappeared from television and major online media.

The products he endorsed were also removed from shelves.

The once-glorious professional player has become a pariah.

Lin Feng didn't pay much attention to this.

After the meeting, they returned to their hotel.

Not long after they returned to the hotel, they were greeted by a familiar visitor.

Soon, cheers and screams erupted from inside the room.

The divine-level soul skill has finally arrived.
