"Trash, you can't even look down on an old man, what do you do to support you?" A city defense general looked angry. In recent days, disaster victims have been rushing out of the city gate, but not everyone is qualified to enter the city. More people are cultivating new homes in the wild lands around the academic capital, but the defenses at the edge of the formation may not be strong.
"Find the person quickly and kill him on the spot as a warning to others." The general said with a serious face.
"Kill him on the spot? That's not good." A soldier was stunned. He didn't expect the general to be so cruel.
"In troubled times, we must use heavy codes, otherwise how can the policy be implemented? Spare this old man, and wait for others to attack the city gate next time. Do you really think that the sword in our hands will not see blood? Execute it immediately. This is a military order, and it must not be allowed to happen." Objection." The general said coldly.
"Yes!" A team of men under the general immediately started searching in the city. It was not difficult to find an old man with no cultivation level and obvious facial features, but now the academic capital was overcrowded, which delayed the progress of the search.
But he said that after the old man ran into the city, he found a random passerby and asked about the location of the civilians.
"Are you in the south of the city?" The old man ran towards the south of the city. He knew that he would die if he broke the law, but he just wanted to see his grandson again. He was doing business in other places, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son at home. When he received the news, he immediately rushed to Wuye City. Wuye City is not far from the school, but it is not within the protection range of the formation. It is also the first city to migrate to the formation. The policy of the Eastern Kingdom was to move one city at a time from near to far. Try to move the population towards the protection area of the formation, and only some people can actually live in the city. As for those outside the formation, they can only seek their own blessings.
The human race has multiplied to this day, but the population is a serious drag at this time. The safe fertile farmland production within the formation simply cannot support such a large population. According to the calculations of Lei Zun and others, the formation can protect at most one-third of the population, and the other two-thirds of the population may have to live outside the formation and seek happiness for themselves.
This time the attack of the Night Dire is like a land cleansing. Both the city and the wild village will be attacked by a large number of Night Dire. The number of the Night Dire is like a blowout, countless. Villages were destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people died, and cities were destroyed by hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. Under the attack of the huge Night Dire legion, the resistance of the human race was minimal, mainly because it was caught off guard. No one thought that the Transparent Tower, which had been running for thousands of years without any problems, would one day be ineffective against the Night Dire. Strictly speaking, it was against a small number of powerful enemies. Night Dire are ineffective, but they are the attackers. It is unpredictable when and where to attack. The human race cannot organize an effective defense and can only shrink the front line and survive under the protection of the ancient formation.
Zhan Yue sat on the teahouse in the city, looking at the chaos in the academic capital, and was filled with emotion. It only takes a few days for the academic capital to turn from bustling to chaotic, and countless people will face the pain of separation. According to the decree of the Emperor of the Eastern Kingdom, those old people who had not awakened the power of the contract became the first group of people to be abandoned.
From the location of the teahouse, Zhan Yue could clearly see the second statue of the goddess of transparency. There are two goddess statues in the academic capital. One is located in the academy for students to worship, and the other is located in the center of the city for other people to worship. It’s just that the transparent goddess who has protected the prosperity of the human race for thousands of years has nothing to do now.
"Catch him, he ran towards the goddess statue!" Several soldiers finally found the old man. He didn't even have time to run to the south of the city to see his newborn grandson before he was discovered by the soldiers.
"Don't hold back, kill on the spot!" a soldier shouted. These soldiers are all Contractors, and many of them have long-range attack methods. Just because of the distance, the old man managed to escape several times.
Hearing the words "kill on the spot", the old man's heart fell to the bottom. Only then did he realize how big a crime he had committed by forcefully breaking into the city gate. It seemed that he was about to be killed to scare the monkeys.
The old man felt very aggrieved. It was not that he was unwilling to implement the policy, but he knew that staying outside the formation would mean death. He just wanted to see his unborn grandson, but why was his last wish so difficult? Although he is an ordinary person, he has accumulated a lot of wealth through business through his intelligence and intelligence, and his life is very comfortable. However, he has done nothing and made no mistakes. Why should I be treated like this? Under the tide of the times, any personal efforts are meaningless, even Lei Zun can protect everyone.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the old man kept running in the direction of the goddess statue.
At this moment, there were actually many people around the goddess statue. They were kneeling on the ground and praying extremely devoutly, hoping that the goddess would appear and protect their families outside the city.
"Help me stop him!" A soldier shouted to those praying in front: "This man is a wanted criminal, help me stop him!"
One person stretched out his hand to pull the old man, but he didn't know why the old man could burst out with such strength and throw him away.
"Master Goddess, I have done good deeds all my life and have never done any evil deeds. Why is there such a retribution? Please ask the Goddess to make the decision for me!" The old man knew that he would die if he was caught, so he had no choice but to die to clarify his purpose. He hit the goddess statue and was killed on the spot.
Everyone around him was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. It took two soldiers to carry away the old man's body, but they also had to stand it outside the city gate to show the public as a warning.
Zhan Yue only felt another soul body in the soul space tremble. He knew that the goddess of transparency could not avoid what was happening in front of her.
"Sister, are you really unable to break the situation?" Zhan Yue asked.
"There is a way." The Tongming Goddess replied after thinking for a moment.
"Is it because of me?" Zhan Yue asked again.
"Yes. Now you have been exposed to the Night Dire, and your priority is even higher than that of the Saint. If I leave, your life will not be guaranteed." The Tongming Goddess said truthfully.
"As expected, recently I have felt that my sister is restless and seems to be very entangled. It is indeed because of this reason." Zhan Yue sighed. Although the Tongming Goddess said that she would live a new life, live for herself, and not want to bear too many burdens, when the matter came to pass, she still couldn't give up.
"Although I was the one who resurrected you in the first place, for thousands of years, it was the strong power of faith that kept your soul alive. I don't want to put you in a dilemma because of me." Zhan Yue said lightly.
The Goddess of Tongming was shocked, "But what should you do? You know, if you die, I will die too."
"The Night Dire Clan doesn't know this secret. Although they regard me as someone who must be killed, they are not in a hurry. Besides, the school now has Lei Zun and Sword Master sitting in charge at the same time. At worst, I will stay in the school and never go out. Moreover. , when I advance to the level of profound practitioner and refine the clone outside my body, I will hide my body in the city and let the clone go out to explore the outside world, and I will not be bored." Zhan Yue comforted me.
The goddess of transparency appeared in the private room, her eyes were shining, and she looked at Zhan Yue deeply. If she hadn't taken action, the human race's casualties would have been astronomical, but if she had taken action, Zhan Yue would no longer be under her protection and would have to hide in the academic capital, unable to leave.
"Promise sister, you won't die." The Tongming Goddess said with a serious face.
Zhan Yue nodded, "I promise you, I won't die that easily."
"Pull the hook." The goddess of transparency stretched out her little finger.
Zhan Yue was stunned, never expecting that the goddess could have such an innocent side. He smiled and stretched out his hand, hooking the little finger.
"Take care." The goddess of transparency said at last.
Zhan Yue felt a gust of fragrant wind pass by and froze on the spot, with a soft touch still remaining on his forehead.
Before officially leaving, the Tongming Goddess finally revealed her true identity in front of Lei Zun. There were some things she had to explain clearly to Lei Zun, especially the issue of Zhan Yue's safety.
As night falls, every night is a death announcement for the human race. But tonight is destined to be extraordinary.
"Look, what is that?" People all over the world were surprised to see a 'bright moon' rising slowly, shining brightly across the continents. This moment is truly the moment when the whole world is together. 'Under the attention of everyone, the bright moon hangs high in the night sky, and its light is reassuring.
Zhan Yue looked at the bright moon and found that he could never get a reply to his inquiries, so he knew that the moon was transformed by the goddess of transparency.
"The stars are shining in the sky?" All over the world, some experienced old people looked at the bright moon with shocked expressions, as if they recognized this method. "It's exactly the same as what's recorded in the ancient books. It's the legendary goddess's secret skill, the Starry Star. Isn't she dead?"
