Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 167: Countermeasures of the Abyss

"Have you found the target's location?"

General Eric, deputy commander-in-chief of the Glory Expeditionary Corps, looked down at the abyss area beneath his feet that was emitting endless twisted power, and his face became a little solemn.

Today, Eric has already broken through the legend and even reached the level of senior legend.

Based on the usual effect of his power, after receiving future blessings, his strength can at least be improved to a higher level.

But in the realm of legend, every step in the future is completely unknown, and you need to keep exploring on your own.

Power can only be enhanced based on his original strength and cannot be created out of nothing.

Therefore, even though he reached the realm of a senior legend, he still could not unleash the strength of a top legend and become the only one under Chi Yan in the Glory Expeditionary Legion.

However, although he has not reached the top level of legend, he still has no rivals among the senior legends.

In addition, he himself is a veteran of the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

As the size of the Glory Expeditionary Corps continued to expand, his position was also promoted accordingly.

His position in the Glory Expeditionary Corps is second only to Commander-in-Chief Chi Yan, and he is also one of the candidates in Chi Yan's mind.

But he is still a little short of the qualifications to be the commander-in-chief of the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

After all, in the current Glory Expeditionary Corps, there are many senior officials whose strength and prestige are not inferior to his.

If you want to be like Chi Yan, with strength and prestige that can overwhelm all the senior officials, that’s still a little lacking.

Twenty-four years have passed since the Holy War officially began.

During this period, all the Blue Star gods and their clan armies gained a better understanding of the abyss.

Because the spatial structure of the abyss itself is extremely chaotic, even the concepts of front, back, left and right are distorted to varying degrees.

Just by observing with the naked eye, sometimes two different areas are completely adjacent to each other.

But if you want to reach another area from one area, you may never be able to reach it if you just use normal physical means to approach it.

Basically, you need to use the skills of space jumping to be able to move freely in different areas.

This caused considerable trouble to all the Blue Star gods and their dependent armies.

Chen Li is fine, as he is a god who has embodied the priesthood of space.

No matter how chaotic the spatial structure is, as long as it has not been completely distorted, it is no different from a normal spatial structure to him.

At most, it would only slightly delay the advance of the All Spirits Alliance's army.

But for other Blue Star gods, this is a more fatal problem.

This will seriously disrupt the expansion rhythm of their front line.

It takes more time and energy to reach each area.

The key is that once any unexpected situation occurs during the expansion of the front line, it will be difficult for their family troops to react immediately.

Failure to provide support in a timely manner can easily delay the opportunity to fight.

Even if the gods of Blue Star took action personally, they would be affected by the chaos of the space structure.

It’s just that compared to their family armies, they themselves are affected less.

This also means that the Blue Star gods will have to pay more costs and take more risks in the process of expanding their front lines.

However, this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of many Blue Star gods to expand their front lines.

Twenty-four years have passed, and many Blue Star gods have expanded the area of ​​their home ground to more than ten thousand times its original size.

At the beginning, the main area near the channel, that is, the area of ​​the core area.

It is basically equal to the area of ​​the material world corresponding to all channels, that is, the area of ​​the entire world of magic weapons.

Only twenty-four years had passed, and many gods of Blue Star had transformed the abyss area equivalent to ten thousand divine weapon worlds into their home ground.

When the Holy War is over, these transformed areas will become nutrients for the material world, catalyzing the birth of more planes.

If it were placed in the final battle, this would be the maximum result that the forces of the abyss could achieve.

But in the Holy War, this is just the beginning.

At present, more than ten million Blue Star gods have descended into the abyss, and as time goes by, more and more Blue Star gods will continue to pour in.

Ever since the Land of Origin came to Blue Star, especially since the establishment of the City of Ten Thousand Gods, the good days of the Abyss forces have basically come to an end.

Before this, there was no such thing as a sacred war in the Land of Origin, only the Final War.

And every final battle is a catastrophe for the entire material world.

In this process, countless heroes will rise up and sacrifice themselves, and only by following one after another can the forces of the abyss be barely repelled.

By the time the final battle was over, the entire material world was essentially half-dead.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the rules of the Place of Origin, the material world would not be able to withstand the attack of the forces of the Abyss.

But after the Land of Origin descended on Blue Star, especially with the establishment of the City of Pantheon, the relationship between the material world and the abyss has undergone a certain reversal.

The abyss can still invade the material world, but for today's material world, the harm caused by the abyss invasion can only be considered as insignificant.

Even if the final battle occurs, it will be suppressed by the gods of Blue Star as quickly as possible.

At most, the area where the final battle broke out will suffer serious trauma.

But Holy War is different.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the rules of the Place of Origin, the Blue Star God could even sink the entire abyss directly instead of leaving Him with a breath.

For the gods of Blue Star and the entire material world, the Holy War is like a large-scale harvest ceremony.

Both the Blue Star gods and the material world can gain huge benefits from it.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Li can use the "Law of Infinite Hunting" as an opportunity to gain the support of the world will of the entire material world.

In order to deal with the reverse invasion of the material world, the Will of the Abyss will also take various special measures actively or passively.

In addition to the first round of counterattacks, under the influence of the will of the abyss.

The ecological structure of the entire abyss has undergone certain changes.

There was no obvious order in the major areas of the original abyss.

At most, some of the more powerful abyss demons would forcibly enslave the weaker abyss demons.

The relationship between the Lord of the Abyss and some great demons, as well as the relationship between some great demons and high-level demons, is basically like this.

However, as the achievements of the Blue Star gods grew greater, more and more abyss areas fell completely.

The will of the abyss also passively made some responses.

The chaos in spatial structure is an environment inherent in the abyss and has nothing to do with the response of the abyss's will.

However, in the major regions today, a certain stable order has been formed among the abyss demons.

Many weak abyss demons will spontaneously protect the more powerful abyss demons.

With the blessing of the will of the abyss, these abyss demons will become more and more powerful.

The reason why many Blue Star gods were able to achieve such results in just twenty-four years.

A big part of the reason is that the abyss demons are extremely chaotic and have no coordination with each other.

Before the Blue Star God's clan armies descended on the major areas, the abyss demons within those areas were even attacking each other.

Even after the Blue Star God's clan army appeared, the abyss demons would be dominated by their instincts and attack them.

But to a well-trained army, those abyss demons are just a mob and not worth mentioning.

Even if there are more of them, it is difficult for them to pose much threat.

But when those abyss demons began to gather together spontaneously, their threat to the army immediately rose to a higher level.

Not only that, those abyss demons obtained the blessing of the abyss will.

It also emits a unique distortion field, hindering the rules of the material world from transforming those areas into the home of material life.

The original Blue Star god's clan army only needs to reach the corresponding area.

And if you persist there for a while, you can directly transform that area into your home ground.

It will become much easier to eliminate those abyss demons afterwards.

However, after such changes occur, the abyss demons that have been blessed by the will of the abyss must be dealt with first.

Only then can the entire area be directly transformed into your home ground.

The problem Eric faces now is that he cannot find the location of the special abyss demon.

Those special abyss demons will not actively attack them.

Instead, they stay in their own territory, just like NPCs, and will not attack until any material life enters their territory.

This actually added a lot of extra difficulty to Eric and the others.

Under the influence of that distorted force field, any detection technology was greatly affected.

Even with the Sky City's detection technology, it is difficult to accurately find the opponent's position.

In one area, there is only one special abyss demon.

However, the distorted force field emitted by this particular abyss demon has basically covered the entire area, and its territory only occupies a small part of the area.

If you cannot find the other party's specific location and can only use a carpet search method to find the other party, it will add a lot of extra difficulty.

Those special abyss demons have originally been blessed by the will of the abyss, and their strength has been taken to a higher level.

During the carpet search, the large number of abyss demons eliminated will provide more blessings to special abyss demons.

Based on Eric's experience in recent years, he judged it based on the strength of the distortion field in this area.

The strength of this special abyss demon was no weaker than his.

Even with future support, he might not be able to defeat the opponent easily.

If the other party gains more blessings, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

"Still can't find the target's location."

Nils, who was beside Eric, shook his head.

A close friend of Eric's since their youth, Nils also achieved legendary status during the Holy War. Given a human lifespan, he'd already embarked on the path to becoming a legend.

Before becoming a true legendary extraordinary being, one will not have such a long lifespan.

But as a demigod who embodies the priesthood of time, the power Chen Li holds will also have a certain impact on his believers.

Even without deliberately extending the lifespan of believers, the average lifespan of all citizens of the Dawn Empire has still been significantly improved.

This improvement is not fixed and mainly depends on the believer's own beliefs.

When those elderly believers want to continue living.

Their lifespan will be naturally extended, and may even exceed their theoretical maximum lifespan to a certain extent.

So much so that in the Dawn Empire, there are many ordinary humans who have lived for hundreds of years.

As an extraordinary person, Nils even embarked on his own legendary journey, so it is not surprising that he could live for more than a thousand years.

"Can't the Sky City find the other party's location?"

As the army of the Dawn Empire, they naturally have the Sky City accompanying them when they travel.

However, the Sky City, which was invincible in the material world, encountered various obstacles in the abyss, and it was difficult to exert the same effect as in the material world.

"Sky City's life detection technology is primarily targeted at material life. There's a clear distinction between those abyssal demons and material life."

"This has already significantly reduced the effectiveness of life detection technology."

"According to Sky City's assessment, the special Abyss Demons in this area are probably a species that is particularly good at hiding."

"It is estimated that it will take about a month to find the other party."

After hearing what Nils said, Eric shook his head.

"No, this time is too long. It's enough for us to take over several areas normally."

Nils also nodded: "This time is indeed a bit too long. Do you need me to take action?"

After he became a legendary fortune teller, his power naturally rose to level four, and the number of sides on the dice reached seventy-two.

With his current strength, he only needs to pay a small price to increase the points to above forty-eight.

With the blessing of fate, the effect of making your wishes come true can be greatly improved.

Shortening the time it takes for Sky City to find the target's trace is naturally a piece of cake.

Eric thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, given the current situation, you are the only one left to take action."

"You can't just turn to the gods for help for such a small matter."

"it is good."

After getting Eric's instructions, Nils did not hesitate at all.

He threw the lucky dice into the air, which looked like a real thing and began to spin continuously.

"I'm divining my future. The next number I throw will definitely be above forty-eight."

As a legendary fortune teller, Nils is no longer just able to peek into fate.

It can even determine the direction of destiny to a certain extent.

Of course, this behavior must also pay some corresponding price, and the specific price depends on how much impact he has on the original trajectory of his destiny.

As long as he made sure that the number he threw was above forty-eight, it wouldn't cost him too much.

There are some tricks to these things as well.

In his original destiny, there was a probability of rolling more than 48 points.

He simply turned this extremely small probability into an inevitable event.

But if you create a destiny that doesn't exist at all, it would be extremely dangerous.

For example, you can directly determine the results of your divination to ensure that you can divine the target location.

Or you can just directly vote for 72 points to upgrade your power again.

Putting aside whether these things can be done, even if they can be done, it will come at an extremely painful price, which is not worth the cost.

Soon, the lucky dice stopped spinning, and the final number was fifty-four.

"Good luck."

As soon as Nils opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

A large amount of blood flowed out from his eyes, mouth, nose and other parts of his body.

This is a backlash from fate. In the next period of time, some of his senses will be affected to a certain extent.

Only when the backlash of fate gradually dissipates can things return to normal.

When the effect of wish-fulfillment began to take effect, good news soon came from the Sky City.

The special abyss demon that was originally estimated to take a month to find could now be directly located within three days.

"How strong is the backlash?"

Seeing his friend's miserable appearance, Eric asked with concern.

"Fortunately, it will take about two months to recover. During this time, I can no longer do things like locking the trajectory of my fate."

Niels didn't take his injury seriously.

As a transcendent being in the destiny system, able to see the changes in destiny, how could he resist not touching it?

He had experienced many more tragic backlashes of fate than this one, so this one was no exception.

"Okay, then go and have a good rest, and leave the rest to me."

Three days passed quickly, and the Sky City successfully locked the location of the special abyss demon in this area.

"Roar!"

A breath of blue energy traveled across a distance of at least hundreds of kilometers and directly hit the target.

As Eric's fighting partner, Alan has long since broken through his own life level.

It became a powerful life form known as forbidden life in the world of giant beasts.

Compared with other forbidden creatures in the world of giant beasts, Alan did not become a part of nature and stayed in the world of giant beasts.

Instead, he chose to follow Eric and became a member of the Glory Expeditionary Corps.

Therefore, it cannot obtain the blessing of the world will of the giant beast world, and possess strength at least comparable to that of a senior legend.

But a broader future is undoubtedly more important than the blessing of the world's will.

What's more, given the size of Behemoth World, there wouldn't be much room for improvement for Alan if he stayed there.

When Alan's breath directly destroyed dozens of kilometers of the target's location.

The special abyss demon that had been staying in its own territory finally revealed its whereabouts.

"A shadow demon? No wonder even the Sky City has trouble finding you."

As shadow demons that are quite unique among the demons of the abyss, they do not have fixed bodies.

The life detection technology mainly relies on the opponent's life aura to judge its strength and whereabouts. In front of a special race like Shadow Fiend, its effect will of course be greatly reduced.

Since the outbreak of the Holy War, the Dawn Empire has also realized the many shortcomings of life detection technology.

It has been constantly being improved, but the time is too short and no breakthrough results have been achieved.

"Let's finish this early and call it a day. We have to head to the next target area. Ah Lan, let's go together!"

Alan's strength is only equivalent to that of an ordinary legend, so it would be difficult for him to fight Shadow Demon head-on.

But just as a support, there is no problem in providing some support during the battle between Eric and Shadow Demon.

With the blessing from the future, Eric crossed hundreds of kilometers in just a few steps and came to the front of the Shadow Demon.

At this point, there is no point in hiding yourself anymore.

After letting out an angry roar, the Shadow Demon rushed directly towards Eric.

With the blessing of the will of the abyss, Shadow Fiend's strength has surpassed most senior legends.

In addition, it can transform its own form at will and become the appearance of other abyss demons to fight, and its combat methods are also very rich.

An ordinary senior legend would probably be at a disadvantage in the first encounter.

Fortunately, Eric is not just any old legend.

After receiving the blessing of the future, his strength has surpassed that of the opponent.

In addition, Alan can provide assistance from the side, and the Sky City can provide fire support.

Facing this special shadow demon blessed by the will of the abyss, an absolutely crushing situation has been formed.

However, if we cannot find the other party's trace and can only conduct a carpet search, which allows the other party to gain more support, then it is hard to say.

During the battle between the two sides, the abyss demons in the entire area were continuously rushing towards the fighting location of the two sides.

Even though deliberate suppression was carried out, it was inevitable that a large number of abyss demons were directly killed by the aftermath.

This resulted in Shadow Fiend gaining more blessings, allowing him to hold on and not be killed by Eric.

But the arm is ultimately no match for the thigh, and the abyss demons killed by the aftermath are only a small part of the countless abyss demons in the entire area.

The buffs provided were not enough to allow Shadow Demon to bridge the huge gap between himself and Eric.

In less than ten minutes, with a final desperate roar, the Shadow Demon was chopped into pieces by Eric and completely lost his life.

When the special abyss demon in this area was killed, the distorted force field that could resist the transformation of the rules of the material world also dissipated.

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers led by Eric also began to serve as specific anchor points at this moment.

Let the rules of the material world come down faster and transform the abyss area.

During this period, the abyss demons in the entire area launched another attack on the army's location, but this was no longer meaningful.

In a few days, the entire area will be transformed into the home of material life.

At that time, ordinary abyss demons would not be able to withstand the suppression of the rules and would be crushed to death.
