Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

In just a few days, two teams of players were completely wiped out. Even if Li Ming didn't remind them, Cecily and the others already understood the reason.

"My little man, your guess is correct. It seems that a player alliance has already intended to end this competition." Cecily's tone revealed a hint of solemnity.

Dongmen Qiansha was a little nervous and asked quickly: "Then how should we deal with it now?"

"Issue the oracle." Li Ming calmly issued the order, "From now on, the Church will stop all expansion activities and go all out to strengthen the defense of our territory."

Then, he added with a smile, "No need to be too nervous, just play solid defense, because time is always on our side."

Hearing this, Cecily and the others immediately understood.

Their most vulnerable period was the first few years of their founding, when even some weaker tribes, such as the Crow People, dared to bully them unscrupulously.

If they had encountered the Yaksha tribe, I'm afraid the five major tribes would have been completely destroyed.

But as long as they can survive the most dangerous and difficult three or four years, their development momentum will become unstoppable.

Now, time flies, and fifteen years have passed.

The tribal members have grown from the original 500 people to a huge group of more than 600,000.

The gods' messengers, who were originally few in number, are now numerous enough to form an entire army, and the defense of the territory is as solid as a rock.

With such a powerful force, what is there to fear even if the Player Alliance attacks?

The five highest leaders of the Holy See received divine orders almost at the same time, ordering them to stop further territorial expansion and instead focus on consolidating their existing territories.

Although they were a little confused about this, they did not speculate too much.

Because to them, every decree issued by God is supreme and must be strictly followed without questioning.

That afternoon, Pope Li Jiangnan quickly convened four other senior leaders for an emergency discussion.

At the beginning of the meeting, Li Jiangnan made a brief opening speech, then he looked around and said, "Everyone, please share your opinions."

The other four looked at each other, and Chief Judge Xingyue spoke first, "The five gods simultaneously issued an order to strengthen defense. In my opinion, the biggest possibility is that a powerful foreign enemy is about to attack."

"In view of this, we must immediately increase the number of temple warriors to deal with possible crises."

"What the chief judge said is absolutely right." Yun Fei, the person in charge of spreading the faith of the temple, nodded. "In recent years, as the surrounding areas have become more peaceful, we have indeed reduced the proportion of temple warriors among the people."

"But the current situation seems to indicate that a large-scale war is approaching. Therefore, I suggest that we first increase the proportion of temple warriors to 10%."

"Sixty thousand temple warriors... is a more appropriate number." The purple-robed archbishop of the temple, Dongmen Qianyang, also agreed.

The commander of the Temple Warriors, Theseus, did not express his opinion, but just looked at Li Jiangnan with an inquiring look, obviously waiting for the Pope's final decision.

Li Jiangnan pondered for a moment, then agreed: "Legion Commander, please issue a conscription order immediately to double the size of the three legions of the Temple, bringing the total force to 60,000."

"At the same time, all reserve forces will be fully transformed into wartime formations and will be strictly trained according to wartime standards."

"As you wish." Theseus nodded briefly and said nothing more.

Everyone was accustomed to the legion commander's silence, and then they continued to discuss the defense construction of the territory.

"Pope, the number of divine messengers is still sufficient at present. Should we consider building some more divine power towers?" Purple Archbishop Dongmen Qianyang suggested.

"Yes, it is necessary to build more divine power towers, especially in the outer areas of the territory. You will be fully responsible for this matter." Li Jiangnan agreed without hesitation.

Then, he turned to the other two and said, "At the same time, the production efficiency of the divine energy cannon and other weapons must also be improved. Chief Judge Xingyue, Chief Yunfei, this task is now handed over to you. Make sure to implement it as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir." Xingyue, Dongmen Qianyang and Yunfei responded in unison.

A series of major moves by the Holy See recently have sparked widespread discussion among the people, especially the large-scale increase in the number of troops by the Temple Legion, which has made even the least sensitive people realize that major events are about to happen.

However, despite the constant discussions, there was not much concern among the public.

This stems from their trust in the Vatican's great strength and their firm belief that the Vatican has the ability to defeat any invading enemy.

The construction boom in the territory, which had just cooled down, is now in full swing again.

Cecily and others, who were gods, observed all this from a God's perspective and occasionally chatted with each other.

However, they recently noticed a disturbing phenomenon.

During the conversation, Li Ming frequently fell into a trance, turning a deaf ear to their calls and questions, as if he was isolated from the world.

At first, several people thought that Li Ming was just thinking deeply about an important issue.

But once, when they sent dozens of divine thoughts in succession and Li Ming still had no response, they truly realized the seriousness of the situation.

Although Li Ming regained consciousness after a few minutes, he insisted that he was fine and was just immersed in thinking.

But Cecily and the others could clearly sense that he was lying.

In fact, this phenomenon had already appeared in Li Ming a few years ago, but the symptoms were mild at the time and lasted for a very short time, so it had not been noticed by Cecily and others.

Of course, he himself was also very confused and had no idea why this was happening.

Occasionally, I would unconsciously fall into a state where my mind was completely immersed in the entire territory world.

In this state, he could feel every tiny detail in the territory, from a speck of dust to a blade of grass, to a little rabbit...all seemed to be vividly presented in his perception.

He could experience every detail of these things, and even had a feeling that he could change them all at will.

However, every time he tried to make a real change, he would suddenly return to reality and regain consciousness.

Li Ming didn't know why this happened to him. He asked Cecily and others, but they all said they had never experienced a similar situation.

At the same time, he couldn't judge whether this phenomenon was good or bad.

On the one hand, he was so immersed in the feeling of being in control that he didn't even notice how much time had passed.

On the other hand, he was worried that he would be trapped in this state and would never wake up.

It was another peaceful day, and somewhere in the primeval forest, it was raining heavily.

The rain water quickly gathered into a rushing stream that meandered down the mountain.

In this turbulent stream, an ant, apparently lost, was trapped alone on a small stone protruding from the water.
