According to the original opening ceremony procedure, on the Spring Festival day, some important visitors will pass through the Gate of Spiritual Theory, visit Shangxiacheng District, experience human daily life up close, and learn about the rich resources in the human universe. Li Liang will also accompany the entire process to prepare for the follow-up. Humanity joins the United Trade Organization of Law and Order to pave the way.
However, before the trip, a piece of news from the war front disrupted the plan.
At noon, the lobby of the World Tree Hotel temporarily served as a conference room. The main members of various civilizations or organizations and influential visitors all gathered here to witness a thrilling battle.
When the afterglow of magic slowly dissipated in the live broadcast screen, Li Liang breathed a long sigh of relief and realized that his palms were full of sweat.
Early this morning, Prince Mass, General Poppy and the Tifami Merchant Group received the battle report at the same time. Prince Angsa, the supreme commander of the front line of the Terranza Holy Carbon Alliance, ignored Harlan Potter's dissuasion and ordered the alliance's first and second legions. Advance into the Zerus Brood.
After learning the news, Li Liang was extremely shocked and had an unexpected feeling.
A few days ago, Teemo brought back news that the Zerus swarm suddenly retreated, and the coalition forces advanced accordingly, passing through dozens of spaces and arriving at the "Advance Fortress Group". That is, after the War of the Gods, the coalition forces were leading to A temporary defense line established near the jump point of Zerus' brood. Prince Angsa believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and advocated advancing to the Brood to completely end the several-epoch-long war between the Federation and the Zerus swarm.
At that time, other commanders of the coalition forces unanimously opposed the rash advance, and Harlan Porter also set off to the "Fortress Advance" to take charge of the overall situation. Almost everyone, including Li Liang, thought that no matter how arrogant Prince Angsa was, he would not be able to ignore Ma. The opinion of the Lord of Kosik.
However, the facts are before our eyes. The Alliance not only went deep alone, but also sent the most elite first and second legions.
In the morning, when the Tifami people were setting up the broadcasting equipment in the lobby of the World Tree, Li Liang noticed that the Prince of Mass had a gloomy face, and his eyes showed a fierceness that was incompatible with his soft appearance. Fortunately, General Bobby did not add fuel to the fire, but clenched his teeth. Like a volcano ready to erupt at any time.
Li Liang could completely understand Mass's anger. Prince Angsa's insistence on his own actions was likely to ruin the alliance's dominant position in the Central Region. But Poppy was worried that once the alliance's aggressive advance eventually led to the defeat of the coalition forces and even harmed the Central Region, then It’s not just the Terensans who are taking the blame, but most likely all carbon-based civilizations, and the Yodels can’t stay out of it either.
Unfortunately, what happened next was worse than they imagined.
From the time they entered the Brood, in just two hours in human time, the Second Legion of the Alliance, which had been severely damaged in the Goblin War, was completely wiped out. The remnants of the First Legion brought back a shocking news.
The reason why the Zerus swarm retreated was not to lure the enemy deeper, but out of necessity.
It turned out that when the Yinkan defense line failed, their nest was attacked from the side of the Void General Domain. The leader "Great Mother Goddess" was severely damaged. They were unable to fight on two fronts and had to gather their forces to make a final resistance.
When the two armies of the alliance passed through the jump point, the Zerus Brood was completely lost. The second legion collided head-on with the mysterious force from the Void Domain, without even understanding the opponent's strength, life form, and weapon type. Was eliminated on the spot.
For several epochs, the Federation of Law and Order has regarded the Zerus swarm as its enemy, but it has to admit that it is precisely because the swarm firmly controls the Void Sea that alien creatures from the Void Domain cannot enter the center. Total domain step.
Now, Prince Aungsa has opened "Pandora's Box".
The alien force that defeated the Zerus swarm, like the gangrenous gangrene, followed the retreating First Legion, crossed the turning point, and officially started a battle with the unprepared coalition forces.
Battle reports came one by one, and the word that appeared the most was, "Lord of the Void."
Previously, the mainstream academic circles of the Law and Order Alliance had never reached a consensus on the "Void Lord". Whether it is an ancient life with independent consciousness or a god, or a special energy floating in the "total void", there are various theories, but one thing is certain, the "matrix" of Zerus can use the "Lord of the Void" "The power will be used to build nests and occupy jump points, and it will also use it to strengthen combat units.
After the battle, the coalition forces finally determined that the "Lord of the Void" was a single life with great power, intelligence and cunning. To be more precise, it was equivalent to a "demigod".
But what this foreign "demigod" controls is not any kind of "magic", let alone Taoism, but a strange power that all living beings in the Federation of Law and Order have never experienced before, and all psychic technologies cannot detect it. To the army it drives, all smart devices cannot predict the direction of his attack.
In the intermittent battlefield broadcasts, the enemy faced by the coalition forces was only surging darkness.
At a certain moment, Li Liang read a trace of nervousness on the face of Prince Mass, which could even be said to be "panic".
He realized that if psychic weapons could not deal with the enemy, the proud legion of the alliance would be at the mercy of others. If even magic and Taoism could not resist the "Lord of the Void", it would only be a matter of time before the coalition forces were destroyed. Then, the Central Committee area……
Domumu, the representative of the River Toad royal family, had already stood up and said anxiously: "I must return to the shore of the eternal tide..."
There was silence.
The meaning of Domumu's words is obvious. Even if all the cities in the Central General Territory are lost, the safety of the Dark Spirit Sea must be ensured. The Dark Spirit Sea held by the River Toad people is the last line of defense for all foreign civilizations from the Dark Spirit Territory. Behind them are the outer spaces of each civilization and the spiritual doors leading to their respective fundamental worlds.
However, at the last moment, Harlan Potter stood up.
Battlefield Live recorded its efforts to turn the tide.
When the coalition forces were defeated and about to collapse, Harlan Potter, who always appeared as a carbon-based humanoid, revealed his true form for the first time.
A "universe" where space and time are uniform, isotropic, and eternal.
Li Liang stared at the black sphere that seemed to contain infinite space and resembled a spiritual door. He instantly thought of "Chico", one of the spiritual core mines that fairies compensated humans for.
It turns out that the essence of Harlan Potter is the same as Chico. He is an independent life bred from the entire basic universe. It itself is the "Gate of Spiritual Principle".
No wonder it believes in the God of Order and reaches the "ultimate self". Only it can infinitely connect to the balance."
As if he sensed the appearance of a powerful enemy, large and small vortices suddenly appeared in the surging darkness, looking like countless eyes.
The moment the Lord of the Void appeared, Harlan Potter's originally calm "surface" suddenly became violent. Then, countless triangular magic talisman formations spurted out, like a dancing "corona".
The live broadcast screen began to tremble violently, intermittent and intermittently. Li Liang couldn't tell which one was stronger and which one was weaker. However, even though he was far away from the three realms, he could still feel that the spirits there were on the verge of losing control.
Sudden.
The screen went dark, then lit up again after a few seconds. When he saw the battle clearly, Li Liang took a deep breath.
A mottled and primitive giant spear comparable to a Dao sword... actually pierced Harlan Potter's body!
The magical power of "Ultimate Me" was completely out of control. The originally pure black sphere began to burst out with dazzling light. The gushing magic talisman array was no longer a triangle, but a layered magic circle.
"Advent?!" Holy Priest Ometi of "Plenty" shouted a word in Blue Star language.
Listening to the translation coming from the headphones, Li Liang's heart skipped a beat.
The screen went black again and recovered after more than ten seconds.
The magical symbol representing the God of Order has already appeared in front of Harlan Potter. It is a "simple figure"-like balance - a straight line supported by a triangle, with a circle hanging from the left and right ends.
At the same time, there is another identical symbol that fills the entire outer space, towering above the sky and on the ground. Only a small part of one of the hypotenuses of the triangle can be captured in the picture.
Then, everyone witnessed the vast power of one of the three pillar gods, the God of Order.
She repels all darkness in an instant, and then... directly erases the jump point.
The spear that pierced Harlan Potter and the "Lord of the Void" disappeared, and only the glory of the God of Order lingered in the picture.
Li Liang had an idea in his mind.
The same three-pillar god, the same "advent", his boss, the God of Chaos, is somewhat uninteresting. He has been hiding in his body for so long, let alone showing off his power like this, without even saying hello.
"Another demigod is born," Chaos Priest Tripoka said in a dull voice through magic.
Not far away, the "consul" sent by Makosik City hurriedly left. It was a "Boche" man. It was huge, with rough skin and thick flesh, like a giant spindle-shaped manatee. It usually moved slowly, but now it was able to run. Fast.
Li Liang was silent. He noticed from the corner of his eye that in the entire lobby, everyone with organs like "eyes" was looking towards him. Others without eyes, no need to think about it, their attention would definitely be focused on him.
He knows very well what these guys think. In such a short period of time, two of the three pillar gods have chosen demigods, which inevitably makes people worry that "Twilight of the Gods" is about to reappear. Some people may feel that they have not seen it. It's a pity that the two demigods teamed up to fight against the enemy.
"In full view", Li Liang stroked the double-ring ring with a thoughtful expression.
Soon, new battle reports came one after another.
"Prince Angsa resigned as the supreme commander of the Terranza Alliance and was replaced by his compatriot General "Yomisag". The coalition forces have fully withdrawn and are expected to retreat to the Yinkan Defense Line."
"The Coalition of Law and Order issued an emergency mobilization, and multiple reinforcements are about to head to the Yinkan Defense Line."
"Harlan Potter is seriously injured and may not be able to fight again in the short term."
Amid the influx of news, Li Liang noticed that the headline of the temporary supplement of the "Makosik Times" was titled "Where is Emperor Haotian?"
At such a critical moment, His Majesty the Emperor of the Central Dynasty was indifferent, which was unacceptable to anyone.
He looked at the Du Yujing envoy sitting in the corner. The Vulcan with open collar and big sleeves had an expressionless face and showed no reaction to the strange looks around him.
Until night fell in Qishan City, the latest news came. A team composed of Zerus Zerg survivors caught up with the coalition forces on their way to retreat. After extremely difficult communication, the coalition forces learned that the "Great Mother Goddess" was dead and "Void" "Maharaja" will not be able to find the jump point to the void sea in a short time.
This news made everyone "breath a sigh of relief."
Li Liang originally planned to cancel the opening ceremony in the evening or keep everything simple, but the Prince of Mass said privately, "We all need music and a relaxing time to calm our inner depression." After repeated hesitation, the opening ceremony was still held as scheduled.
When he sat down in the middle of the auditorium of the main venue and the lights around him gradually dimmed, he suddenly thought of the story "Here Comes the Sheep".
For the first time, Harlan Potter supported humans without asking for anything in return and launched a crusade against the goblins, which effectively shattered the rumor that he was the "boss" behind the "Nordrassil Council".
For the second time, the "Makosik Times" righteously exposed the scandal of the Terranza people's annihilation of civilization, but was forced to suspend publication. Under the instruction of Du Yujing, the authenticity of the report was questioned by public opinion, and Harlan Poe Te always endured it silently.
For the third time, when the Zerus swarm broke through three lines of defense and approached the Central Territory, Harlan Potter ignored the past grudges and immediately sent the Holy Knights to support the alliance and promote the establishment of the coalition.
Siluke
Until this time.
From the moment he stepped forward to become a demigod, no one would doubt that Harlan Potter was a selfless and fearless hero and the true guardian of the Commonwealth of Law and Order.
At this moment, Li Liang had to admit that even he began to wonder if he had misunderstood Harlan Potter.
However, what if the story of "The Sheep is Coming" is really true, and there is no news from Emperor Haotian...
