Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 373 Entering the Chaotic Land
Shouts swept through Beijing like waves, and familiar or unfamiliar names resounded throughout the country.

It was 8:30, and there was still half an hour before we entered the Chaotic Land.

At this moment, eight or nine hundred people had gathered around Lin Feng, and more and more people were constantly joining them.

And ahead of them were 50,000 soldiers.

They were dressed in crisp military uniforms, with upright postures, firm eyes, and solemn and stern expressions. Each of them wore a belt and carried a submachine gun.

Because of the unstable space, the interdimensional portal cannot use weapons like rocket launchers, but it can use submachine guns and grenades.

In such large-scale warfare, the use of weapons is no longer restricted.

Of the 50,000 soldiers, the vast majority were low- to mid-level martial artists, with very few high-level martial artists and even fewer demon spirit masters.

These soldiers were not particularly strong, but they were well-trained and worked together seamlessly.

They fight as a team, so even if Lin Feng and his group encounter them, they can only avoid them.

It's not that they can't be defeated, but that there's no need to.

Because it would waste physical and spiritual energy.

Looking at the densely packed soldiers before him, Lin Feng sighed inwardly.

He knew what the soldiers' role was.

With the soldiers' strength, they simply couldn't compete for the key.

Their role is to be cannon fodder!

It's cruel, but that's the truth.

Besides protecting them, the soldiers' main task was to use their own lives to weaken the enemy's numbers and soul power.

The soldiers clearly knew their role and duty; their eyes were fearless yet fierce and insane, showing a determination to die.

War is brutal; of 50,000 soldiers, perhaps no more than one-tenth will survive.

In the face of real war, life is fragile and cheap, and a war between two different worlds is even more bloody and cruel, with no possibility of compromise.

As the time drew nearer, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive, a atmosphere tinged with sadness.

Representatives of the Glory Clan, as well as the geniuses who had previously registered and received rewards, arrived one after another, along with some who had not received rewards but had voluntarily entered.

By nine o'clock, the number of volunteers, including Lin Feng, had exceeded one thousand.

"First group, advance!"

Accompanied by a roar.

The soldiers, who had been standing still, began to walk up the platform, in groups of one hundred, and slowly but firmly stepped into the spatial gate.

Before Lin Feng and the others could enter, they needed to clear the obstacles and reduce the number of enemies.

"glory!"

The moment the soldiers entered the chaotic area, the crowd erupted in a frenzied roar. Everyone's expression was solemn and respectful, with their right fists clenched and pressed against their chests in a gesture of reverence.

With this roar, everyone watching on television in Shangjing Base City, Twelve Base Cities, and even across the country stood up straight, their right hands pressed to their chests, and shouted.

Lin Feng did the same, shouting loudly.

Soldiers deserve everyone's respect.

No matter the time, it is always the soldiers who are at the forefront of defending the country.

These soldiers were already prepared to die, and their chances of survival were very low.

The word "Glory" resounded throughout the country.

The soldiers silently entered the portal. Once all the soldiers were inside the chaotic area, Hong Tao spoke:
"Since you've appeared here, you're prepared to sacrifice yourselves."

"You are all heroes! You are the pride of the nation! You are the pride of your parents and relatives!"

"You all know how important this key is! Its ownership will determine whether an 11-star level spatial gate will appear, and it will also determine whether a second spatial gate will be merged!"

"To a certain extent, it will also determine whether war will come sooner!"

"Regardless of the outcome, whether you obtain the key or not, you must make the Inhumans understand the price they will pay for their invasion."

There was no pre-battle encouragement or morale-boosting talk, and none of that meant much to Lin Feng and the others.

Hong Tao simply emphasized the importance of this key.

"That leaves no room for retreat."

Yu Qiao said in a low voice, her tone somewhat displeased.

The others also looked very serious.

Lin Feng remained silent. Although Hong Tao's words were cruel, they were the truth.

If the key struggle fails, but the enemy suffers heavy casualties, they will inevitably become fearful, which is also a way to prevent the next spatial gate from merging.

It's cruel, but it's a solution.

With serious expressions, everyone began to enter the chaotic area in an orderly manner.

At this moment, actually stepping onto the high platform, even with prior preparation, still evokes hesitation and fear.

In front of Lin Feng, a young man in his twenties was trembling slightly, his face pale.

He seemed to want to take a step, but his body was somewhat stiff.

"Haha."

Upon seeing the young man's appearance, his teammates couldn't help but laugh.

Young people are not isolated cases; some even collapsed from exhaustion, trembling on the ground.

Soldiers have no choice, but volunteers do.

Faced with the impending battle, some people began to feel fear, and they were not a minority. Hundreds of people chose to give up, including some geniuses who had won rewards and representatives of the glorious clan.

There are even kings!
"A bunch of weaklings!"

Yu Qiao said with a smile, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Lin Feng watched this scene calmly, observing the embarrassment and pallor on the faces of those who deserted in the face of battle, without offering any ridicule.

Those who can stand here are already far more courageous than the vast majority of people.

They had the courage to fight against the supernatural beings.

But not everyone is prepared to die.

Just before entering the portal, Lin Feng suddenly turned around and glanced in the direction where his family was.

At this moment, Lin Feng's figure appeared on the light screen.

Lin Feng couldn't find his family members in the dense crowd, but he knew they could see him.

He smiled and waved in the direction of his family, then turned and entered the chaotic area.

Tears streamed down Lin Fang's face as she and the other three girls, like everyone else, pressed their right hands to their hearts and shouted with all their might:
"glory!"

"glory!"

"glory!"

As they watched the figures disappear, the shouts grew louder and louder.

As the last person's figure disappeared through the portal, the live broadcast on the screen and television went black, leaving only a line of white text: "They're still fighting desperately, what right do you have to give up!"

They're still fighting hard, what right do you have to give up!
These fourteen characters, though lacking in profound wisdom, still sent a shiver down the spines of many.

These days, society is in turmoil due to the merging of interdimensional portals.

Faced with the impending war, many people choose to lie down, live a life of ease and waiting to die, and enjoy life ahead of time.

At this moment, these people stared blankly at the line of words, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.

Yes!

Everyone else is working so hard, what right do they have to give up on themselves? At this moment, many parents, seeing their dejected children, would step forward and slap them hard across the face!

Some even packed their bags and drove their children, who were lying dead, out of their homes.

Many people who had resigned to enjoy life returned to the company with feelings of shame and continued working.

After all the volunteers had entered the portal, Hong Tao and his two companions turned around and looked at the fluorescent portal with different expressions in their eyes.

"Hey."

The extraordinary expert Xie Chun sighed.

They could also enter the Chaos Lands, but as emperors, they didn't need to take that risk.

Even when their strength is suppressed, they may still perish.

The impact of the fall of an emperor is too great; there are only a dozen or so emperors in China today.

"Have Yu Jing and Fu Bohong arrived yet?" Hong Tao asked Xie Chun.

"Old Fu will come, but he said it will take two more days. Yu Jing is suppressing the spatial gate, and things aren't peaceful there, so he might not be able to get away."

Both Yu Jing and Fu Bohong are emperors.

If they fail to win the key, the three of them alone cannot guarantee that the portal will not be breached by the aliens.

What was the response from the Pure Land side?

Hong Tao continued to ask.

This fusion of spatial gates concerns the entire world. With the help of the Pure Land, we will undoubtedly be more confident, and the capital will be safer.

Xie Chun looked helpless and said, "There's no response. It's not the last moment of life and death yet, so they probably won't make a move."

Upon hearing this, Hong Tao remained expressionless, as if he had already anticipated this.

The Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Pure Land are all as powerful as him. If they could intervene, the pressure of this spatial gate fusion would be much less.

The thirteen emperors of China each have their own responsibilities and cannot be easily transferred; the other emperors also have their own selfish desires.

They do not receive offerings, and therefore have no obligation to do so.

Even a nation can only discuss, not command.

"The spatial gates have already merged, isn't it time for life and death yet?"

Hong Tao sneered, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

"The fact that three apostles entered the Chaotic Land this time can be seen as a demonstration of the Pure Land's stance," Xie Chun said.

Hong Tao smiled and said, "Although the 24 apostles are only second to the Heavenly King in rank, their deaths are no big deal. The Heavenly King won't really care, and new apostles will appear soon. Apostles can't represent the attitude of the Pure Land. Besides, these three are just the bottom of the apostles."

In the eyes of an emperor, a king is nothing.

There are five or six hundred kings in China, but fewer than twenty emperors.

Of the 24 apostles, only three were worthy of his attention.

Although the three were only apostles, two of them were already emperors, and the third, although not an emperor, possessed strength comparable to an emperor.

If a Heavenly King is injured or falls, these three could potentially take his place and become the new Heavenly King.

"Something is better than nothing; even the lowest-ranking apostle is stronger than a regular king!"

Xie Chun said this, and Hong Tao remained silent, offering no rebuttal.

Xie Chun's eyes flickered slightly, as if he hesitated, but in the end he looked at Hong Tao and asked:
"What are your plans for sending a medium into the Chaotic Lands this time?"

Mediums are war machines, the best tools for developing portals to other dimensions.

The Hong clan's success is due not only to Hong Tao's privileges as an extraordinary expert, but also to his close relationship with spiritual mediums.

The medium is very powerful.

However, this battle for the key is too dangerous. Facing various extraordinary talents and powerful figures, even a medium has a high chance of perishing.

If the medium perishes, the novice monk will be freed and will surely massacre humanity.

Furthermore, if a medium is discovered, the Inhumans will send people to hunt them down.

"Plans? Why ask when you already know the answer? Didn't you already guess?"

Hong Tao smiled at Xie Chun, but his seemingly kind smile carried a hint of coldness.

Xie Chun's expression changed slightly, and he felt a chill in his heart.

Faced with Hong Tao's gaze, she subconsciously looked away.

Hong Tao has dark skin and a strong build. Dressed in gray clothes, he doesn't look like an emperor, but more like an old farmer who has been working the land for many years. He seems honest and simple, but his heart is more ruthless than anyone else's.

Hong Tao's answer confirmed her guess.

In a chaotic place where space is unstable, a medium is like a bomb.

A bomb that could explode at any moment.

If the fight for the key fails, Hong Tao may detonate the bomb.

If a top-ranked monster is detonated, space will collapse, and the collapsed space will spread to the entire chaotic land in a short time, and everyone will be swallowed up by the spatial turbulence.

Everyone will die.

This also includes Hong Tao's son, Hong Li.

Hong Li is a Martial King, and also one of the guardians of the capital.

This is probably one of the reasons why Hong Tao stipulated that entry was permitted but exit was not.

It wasn't just about causing heavy casualties among the superhumans.

If no one knows the truth, it won't be disheartening.

Even though some people speculated, Hong Tao's own son had also sacrificed his life, so no one dared to say much.

The soldiers were already prepared to die.

However, most of those thousand volunteers were geniuses and champions.

Lin Feng, who is invincible among his peers, Ye Qiu, the Thorn Dragon, Yun Kai, the Orc, and Zhan Tianyu, the Six-Armed Demon, are all super geniuses and representatives of the younger generation.

There are also the guardians of the major base cities, such as Yang Qing of Shangjing and Wang Zun of Modu. These kings and the flag bearers of the Glory Clan may all become emperors in the future.

If these people die, there will be a gap in the number of kings in the near future.

Clearly, with the threat of invasion from the supernatural beings, Hong Tao no longer cared about these geniuses.

When war breaks out, even geniuses are just cannon fodder.

However, these people represent major forces and conglomerates across the country. If they all die, even they will face enormous pressure.

Xie Chun looked at Hong Tao with a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

Hong Tao is ruthless enough to sacrifice even his own son.

Even the Martial Emperor Chen Tian, ​​who had been silent all along, changed his expression. He wanted to speak, but in the end, he said nothing.

If the key has indeed been taken by the supernatural beings, this is indeed a solution.

A way to instill fear in those who are different.

But this method is far too cruel.

However, compared to the invasion of the supernatural beings and the outbreak of a full-scale war, this kind of sacrifice was actually the least.

In his view, such sacrifices would only buy time and would not change the overall situation.

Seeing the complicated expressions on Xie Chun's and the other person's faces, Hong Tao remained unmoved and did not care.

He dared to do this because he had something to rely on.

"Don't look at me like that. This is just the last step. Maybe we'll get the key."
