Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Just as Li Ming expected, the harassing attacks by the Dark Temple and the Ragnarok Alliance, although bringing certain pressure to the Temple Legion, failed to curb the development momentum of the five major clans.

The clan's population is still growing rapidly, and at the same time, they have restarted their plans for territorial expansion.

Under the escort of the God's Legion, the construction armies of the five major clans once again launched a new round of expansion frenzy.

They continued to advance toward the northwest, building towering fortresses and solemn statues.

In just one year, the five major clans had erected the statues less than a hundred kilometers away from the territory of the "Twilight of the Gods" alliance. The speed of their expansion was astonishing.

During this period, the Dark Temple Legion joined hands with the 'Ragnarok' Alliance Legion to launch hundreds of wars of varying scales against the Five Gods.

However, due to the huge disparity in strength, they achieved almost no decent results except for the loss of nearly 200,000 troops.

Right now, with the rapid expansion of the five major clans, the pressure on Sikong Mingshen and others is increasing.

Especially the members of the 'Shenghui' team and the 'Talimu' team, they were in great panic.

Because their dependent territories happen to be located in the southwest, once the five major clans launch an attack, they will be the first targets facing the threat of extinction.

However, after consulting the gods, the Vatican did not actually launch an invasion of the Ragnarok Alliance.

The reason is obvious. Invading enemy territory will put the temple's messengers and warriors in an unfavorable situation of fighting away from home. Now, it is enough to simply maintain a high level of vigilance and deterrence against them.

This is indeed the case. Facing the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, the mentality of the members of the 'Shenghui' team and the 'Talimu' team has undergone a drastic change.

They no longer sent their dependent armies out to fight, but instead put all their energy into strengthening the defense of their territories, and even secretly watched out for the movements of the 'Tianyu' team and the 'Storm Rose' team.

Faced with the current predicament, Sikong Mingshen and Kaluxi felt helpless.

They did consider taking extreme measures, striking first and eliminating the allied team to force the end of the game and thus get out of their current dilemma.

But the premise of this plan is that the hidden 'Wings of Night' team must be found and eliminated first.

Otherwise, they would need to defeat the 'Shenghui' team and the 'Talimu' team at the same time. Only in this way could the number of surviving teams be reduced to four, triggering the end conditions of the game.

This is too difficult and will also bring many unpredictable changes and risks.

Gong Yongzhao and Hadir are both smart people and will never sit and wait for death.

Once they are really in desperate situation, they will definitely send a distress signal to Li Ming without hesitation, and leave the life and death of their team entirely to the other party to decide.

And Li Ming would definitely not refuse such unconditional surrender.

On the other hand, the senior leaders responsible for curbing the development momentum of the five major clans, Hebilun and Jiren, were having an extremely difficult time.

They could only set up their main military camp two hundred kilometers away from the territories of the five major clans. Apart from occasionally sending out a small group of troops for so-called harassment, which was actually more like sending them to die, they really had no other choice.

This is not because the two senior alien leaders are incompetent, but because the strength gap between the two sides is too great.

During this year, the population of the five major clans has expanded to more than 2.5 million, which means that the strength of their opponents has more than doubled.

Faced with such a huge gap in strength, even if they put all their troops into it, they would not be able to make any waves.

Fortunately, after Hebilun and Kielen repeatedly asked for help, the Temple finally decided to send a large army to support them.

Moreover, the strength of the support this time was somewhat unexpected. The leader was the Grand Commander Kings, and he was accompanied by four senior commanders and a mighty army of two million.

"Lord Jins, is it possible that the corruption of the ancient gods is nearing its end?" Hebilon asked in a respectful tone. He really couldn't imagine the reason why the temple suddenly provided such generous reinforcements.

“No.” Scarlet flames danced violently in the hollow pupils of the two-headed ape. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. “The great master has once again issued an order requiring us to curb the development momentum of the five major clans.”

"Therefore, the task of corrupting the ancient gods has to be temporarily slowed down."

Hebilun and Jiren's eyes met, and they immediately understood each other.

Commander Kings has always advocated the annihilation of the five major clans first, while Commander Kabaros insisted on corrupting the ancient gods first.

In the last dispute, the Palace Master finally leaned towards the strategy of corrupting the Ancient God first.

This was also the reason why they could only lead one million troops to conquer the five major clans at that time.

Now, the evil god Yule has issued a new decree, providing an opportunity for Commander Kings. He will certainly take this opportunity to urge the Temple to do its utmost to annihilate the five major clans in one fell swoop.

Although the specific process of the discussion is unclear, the final result is definitely very different from what Commander Kings expected.

The reason was that the Temple only sent an additional two million troops as support.

With such a large force, it is a completely unrealistic fantasy to want to destroy the five powerful clans.

Hebilun and Jiren were not qualified to care about the disputes at the highest level of the temple. Their duty was to report in detail all the intelligence they had collected over the year to the commander-in-chief who was in a bad mood.

"Lord Jins, the five major clans believe in five gods, representing thunder, fire, ice, nature, and strength respectively."

"This has many similarities with the Ragnarok Alliance, but the key point is that the gods believed in by the five major clans and their followers are all created, not the native races of this world..."

"Among the descendants who left, there is a very small chance of giving birth to a divine messenger, and the strength of a divine messenger..."

"According to our conservative estimate, the number of divine messengers they currently have is close to 30,000..."

"..."

The two-headed ape listened quietly without uttering a word, but the flames dancing in its empty eyes silently revealed that its inner emotions were not calm.

In Baixi Town late at night, everything is silent.

Li Yaoyao was suddenly awakened from her deep sleep. She sat up abruptly. Everything around her was pitch black and her vision was completely blocked.

This darkness was unusual, deep and absolute, swallowing up all the light, as if even time was firmly imprisoned by it.

She was stunned for a moment, then carefully moved her petite body, groped around the bedside with her right hand, and finally touched the desk lamp.

With a soft "click", the switch was pressed, but the desk lamp did not light up, and darkness still shrouded everything.

Surrounded by this endless darkness, an indescribable fear surged in Li Yaoyao's heart.

She groped her way out of bed and, relying on her familiarity with the room, walked towards the door step by step.

"Mom? Dad!" She called out with a trembling voice, hoping to find some comfort and support in the dark night.

However, all she got in response was an empty house and dead silence.
