Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves
Chapter 667 - 370: Twenty Percent Chance of Victory
Clearly, if the Association were to consider it from a development angle, the best approach would be to do nothing.
Simply wait for the opponent’s next move.
Meanwhile, during this period, gather their own strength.
As long as the opponent does not possess a powerful treasure or foundation comparable to the Gray Mist Space, which far exceeds the current level, time would undoubtedly favor the Association.
The longer the delay, the more advantageous it is.
Thus, after thorough discussion, this plan was chosen in the end.
The Association is seizing the opportunity to improve its power using the Gray Mist obtained from this round.
The core of the enhancement primarily focuses on two domains.
Technology, and capacity.
Technologically, the enemy that appeared this time has actually opened up a new direction for the Association, especially with their meticulous use in the domain of Laws.
This has, to some extent, expanded the Association’s conceptual understanding of Extraordinary Laws.
It’s not just seen as a Law or an Extraordinary Rule.
It even materializes into a diversified weapon.
Infiltration, reconnaissance, traps, attacks...
Its role far exceeds previous understanding.
The Association’s progress is exceedingly rapid!
And this time, the opponent’s concealment period is far longer than expected.
As much as 130 years have passed without any movement!
"It seems our concept of time deviates from that of these Forces," Shen Yu remarked.
The younger one often feels time passes slowly.
When older, one realizes how swiftly time flies.
Placed amidst the All Heavens Forces, the Association is considered young, hence the significant emphasis on these brief periods.
However, for Forces enduring tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of years, they often have sufficient patience to tackle a project that can yield substantial benefits.
Exploring the All Heavens is like this.
The more challenging it is, the more valuable it becomes.
The opponent might spend thousands, tens of thousands, or even longer years to conquer this world of sufficient worth.
But, naturally, this situation benefits the Association more.
More than thirty years ago, upon realizing this was a long-term mission, the Association made adjustments.
Maintaining high vigilance, but no longer having individuals idly waiting here, hindering development.
Even now, if this state needs to be sustained for over a thousand years, the Association would not be concerned or suffer losses.
Yet ultimately, it did not extend for such a lengthy period.
When the Association reached a certain time point and used the Gray Mist to inquire if the opponent had any actions, the Gray Mist’s response had changed from "no" to "yes."
"Have you discovered anything?" Shen Yu convened a meeting, asking other members of the chair committee.
Everyone shook their heads.
During this period, chair committee members, grouped into pairs, rotated in guarding the Tower World, preventing any other matters from being neglected.
While consistently maintaining the Celestial Dao Tree’s control over the world’s Laws at one hundred percent.
Ensuring not even a slight flaw.
Additionally, they continued to enhance the world’s protective capabilities through various methods.
Nearly every leftover warrior had layers of monitoring measures implanted within their bodies.
However, despite achieving this level, they still couldn’t detect the enemy’s actions?
"Is it possible that this action isn’t carried out in our world?" Shen Yu proposed this possibility.
This did remind the others.
Such a possibility does exist.
Finally, Shen Yu made the call, directly using the Gray Mist to seek answers.
And unexpectedly, the answer confirmed this.
The third All Heavens Force eyeing this world has been using residual information over the world barrier outside to comprehensively analyze this world’s Laws!
It’s noteworthy that the world barrier itself is a type of Law.
It is not completely distinct from the crevice between the All Heavens.
Rather, it’s more like an integration, you have me, I have you.
In other words, although it’s exceedingly challenging to analyze the internal Laws of the world from the world barrier, if it can indeed be done, it is possible to directly analyze the entire world’s Laws.
This is akin to silently gathering intelligence, erasing the advantage of local combat in an instant during warfare.
"Quite troublesome." Many Shen Yu frowned, realizing it’s difficult to act.
Firstly, they lack the technology at such a level.
Secondly, if they leave the world for warfare, it equates to abandoning the hard-earned advantage.
So, should they do nothing?
"Based on the opponent’s pace, how much longer is needed to complete the full analysis, or enough analysis to support a comprehensive invasion war?" High Tower Shen Yu asked the Gray Mist for this answer directly.
The answer quickly returned.
Four hundred thirty-six years.
Far less than anticipated.
But this is understandable.
After all, the opponent doesn’t need to analyze all Laws, just a portion, then suppress with higher-level Law, sufficient for launching a "fair condition" comprehensive war.
