After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

Outside Tianren City, there is a sky as dark as blood and ink, with no light from the sun and moon, and jagged rocks.

In the eternal night that even a thousand years of heavy rain could not wash away, the inhuman roars and whispers of ghosts and wolves howling could be heard from time to time, which made people shudder.

A magnificent and desolate Great Wall became the dividing line between the human world and hell.

The three cities of Heaven, Earth and Man all have a history passed down orally. The outside world is a forbidden area for humans, and the city of Heaven and Man is two different worlds.

Of course there are people who don't believe it. After all, there are always people who wonder, if the ancestors didn't intend to let them out, why did the city set up gates?

Once these people who don't believe in evil dare to step out of the city, their final outcome will be no news at all, and it will become a bloody lesson.

Some sages also said that there were originally more than three cities in Tianren City, namely, Heaven, Earth and Man, but the outer cities were lost and gradually forgotten in the long river of time.

But at this time, this dividing line is also crumbling.

boom--

A tall and terrifying figure was fearlessly attacking the city wall, causing the barrier that had absorbed the power of heaven and earth to become crumbling.

Hot blood was spilt, and the natural lines on the barrier were clearly showing a decline in spirituality.

Under the dark sun, a tragic atmosphere spread and fermented. Warriors in the underground city and demons in the outer city died every minute and every second.

On the city wall, two members of the Celestial Clan were looking at the purgatory outside with solemn expressions and sweat dripping down their backs.

"If this continues, the underground city's defenders will be exhausted. Are we going to have to rely on the mortals in the human city who are transporting supplies to take over?"

The tall and handsome Celestial Clan member with silver-white hair slammed the table:

"The place where we two are guarding is obviously not where the disaster is most severe!"

There are three gates in the city wall of Rencheng. This one is relatively remote and has always been the lightest burden and has the least defensive pressure.

The demons are simple-minded. They only know to flock to where there are many people.

"It's different...it's different this time."

The celestial being next to him, who was all bronze and had divine patterns on his upper body, muttered to himself:

"I've discovered what's wrong. This time, the demons seem to be organized by someone behind the scenes. They appear disorganized, but they actually advance and retreat with measured movements! They're attacking in such a large scale because they know the South Gate is empty!"

"There's someone behind them directing them!"

Eliminate all impossible possibilities, and the one that remains, no matter how low the probability, is the truth.

The tall celestial being was still in disbelief.

How could those demons, whose intelligence was lower than that of wild beasts and who often killed each other, unite and obey orders like an army?

"Arabian Nights, how come..."

The words have not yet fallen.

call--

A vicious wind blew, and a snake head covered with thorns and barbs rose from the city wall.

How big is it?

When the two eyes opened, it was like two blood-red suns rising on the horizon, and on top of the snake's head stood a figure. His body was like an iron tower, and he looked at the city wall below with cold eyes.

That’s right, the tower standing on top of the giant city is shorter than it.

The Gundam Celestials have a dry throat:

"Damn it, something happened."

The outermost wall of the human city was breached in one day.

When the other Celestial Tribes sensed the death of their clansmen guarding the South Gate, it was too late.

.....

The city was broken, and the demons were breaking into the city with great momentum. Even a thousand-mile long dike could be destroyed by an ant hole, let alone an entire city gate being lost.

The atmosphere inside and outside the imperial capital had reached its lowest point, and everyone had different expressions.

"I remember the last time we had the Celestial Trial, the first round of natural disasters passed easily, like a mere formality. What happened this time?"

"All the members of the Demon Summoning Cult have gone in, and there's also a strange presence. Could it be the same as last time?"

"Yes, those demons are clearly being controlled by the secret magic of the Demon Summoning Cult's Beast Hall!"

"No wonder they are stronger and know how to act in groups."

"The Celestial Tribe has completely evacuated and retreated to the underground city for defense!"

"What does Jiang Yu mean? Is he going to give up Human City?!"

.....

In the Heavenly City, Jiang Yu sat on the dragon throne, with the magic sword inserted into the red beam right above him.

"The wall of the human city has been breached. We have no choice but to retreat to the new wall extending from the underground city."

"If that's the case, what about the villages and towns that haven't yet been incorporated into the dungeon's jurisdiction?"

Feng Zhi's face was pale and her breath was much weaker than usual. She frowned and asked.

"I have repeatedly ordered them to return to Dayu. There is nothing I can do about it."

Jiang Yu showed little emotion and said indifferently:

"I'm still a little ways away from fully mastering the Heavenly Man Divine Sword. How can we possibly take care of such a large area? If we lose more men, it won't be worth it. The right thing to do is to accumulate strength and wait for the final decision."

Feng Zhi remained silent.

The other Celestials looked at each other and felt that what Jiang Yu said made sense.

An old man from the Celestial Clan who had experienced a long time sighed:

"In this case, we can only make those outsiders suffer."

There was an uproar inside and outside the imperial capital of the nine heavens and ten earths.

There was an awkward silence under the canopy where the royal family sat.

The Fourth Prince felt as if he had been slapped in the face.

He had just praised the prince for his wisdom and bravery, saying that his elder brother advocated kindness and would definitely overcome this natural disaster in a humane way.

At this point, he could only make amends:

"Well, She is a small self, Cheng is a big self. Sometimes, in order to achieve great things, sacrifices are necessary."

"If you're afraid of death, then you're afraid of death. There are quite a lot of murals."

Suddenly, a voice beside me made a sound of "tsk".

The fourth prince: “?”

A woman in green clothes stood there and snorted, "The Celestial Clan clearly has enough strength to relocate the people from the outside world while preserving their strength, taking advantage of the fact that the demons haven't completely occupied the human city yet, but they just stand by and watch."

"Your Highness is truly unreliable if you cherish your life while accomplishing great things."

Zhong Qin, who had been silent all this time, said lightly.

Princess Yuyang couldn't find any words to refute, so she could only say angrily:

"If my eldest brother is unreliable, who should I rely on? Ying Bing?"

“It’s not just her, how can you separate Xiao Mo from her?”

Shang Qinqing looked at her unhappily.

"What you said, Young Master Li... Oh no, now it's Old Man Li. He's half buried in the ground. What else can he do?"

Tu Yan sighed, looking as if she couldn't bear to watch.

The few Baihuas who were invited over also had complicated expressions.

It was only a few days in the outside world, but it felt like decades in the map of the country.

They watched helplessly as the young man full of vigor and vitality turned into an old village chief with white hair, who spent his days either forging iron or working in the fields.

There was no longer any trace of transcendence in Li Mo, and he was completely like everyone else.

So the last bit of the filter of the young genius in their hearts was shattered.

"You are not only inferior to Xiao Bing'er in appearance."

Shang Qinqing clicked his tongue and shook his head, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds and walked away leisurely.

Princess Yuyang was furious, but Zhong Qin beside her said:

"Be quiet."

"Prince of Zhennan, you are my prince of Dayu after all, why are you so disloyal?!"

"But Li Mo calls me his sworn brother and even acts as my financial sponsor."

"????"

There were many doubts in the field.

But Huang Donglai, Xiao Qin, Xie Xuan and the others had no intention of arguing with anyone.

I just clenched my fists and believed in him silently in my heart.
