In Earth's past history, there was no shortage of ambitious powerhouses who wanted to unify the entire planet through their own abilities and iron-fisted rule.

For example, the [Light Source Technology Company] that launched the first corporate war 300 years ago, the British Empire that dominated half the planet 500 years ago, or the so-called True God "Northern Emperor Cangrong," who claimed he could single-handedly overthrow the world 700 years ago.

However, the outcomes for these dream-driven individuals or organizations were not quite ideal in the end.

After defeating thousands of High Tier Apprentice Death Gods and unifying the Eurasian continent, Northern Emperor Cangrong was backstabbed by his own subordinates, as he described, ultimately dying with regret, never having set foot on the new continent in his lifetime, and had to return to Supreme Heaven.

The British Empire ruled through colonization, but excessive oppression also incited resistance. In less than fifty years, the colonies rose in rebellion, not only overthrowing the colonial governments but also completely toppling the British Empire.

After that, even the concept of "nation" gradually disappeared as companies developed, utterly ceasing to exist.

As for the Light Source Technology Company, it was the first force to attempt unification after the advent of the era of large corporations.

Its business mainly included energy, new concept food, and military industry, which was quite comprehensive and once monopolized half of the planet's commercial activities.

However, when it decided to launch the unifying war, it faced unprecedented resistance.

The process of the war is no longer verifiable. People only know that in that war, the planet's population was nearly halved, the Apprentice Death God Organization suffered heavy losses, and countless giant corporations collapsed, leading to the rise of various new enterprises.

Today, the largest giant corporations on Earth—such as Biotechnology and Military Technology—rose during that war.

The final result was that the Light Source Technology Company lost all of its market on Earth, its headquarters was uprooted, and even its CEO at the time was captured by the Death God Organization and executed publicly.

Since then, the Light Source Technology Company had no choice but to leave Earth and struggle to survive on Mars's colonies. Although it still retained the title of a giant corporation, its actual size could not even reach the edge of a giant corporation's scale.

From a broad perspective, unification is naturally a good thing, but the problem is that it often touches upon the interests of too many forces... This will instantly drive those corporations to the opposite side, creating a situation of relentless conflict.

And now, when those corporations and forces realize that Jin's goal is not to expand his influence, much less to create his own legend, but to achieve unification...

The intensity of the war increased exponentially in an instant. Within a few months, the flames of war had spread from Asia to Europe, and even showed a tendency to expand to the new continent.

In mid-April 2078, Elrond Gold launched the "Tidal Offensive," attacking Nest City No. 5 located on the Malay Peninsula, led by the Equality Association's First Legion, commanded by Jiang Wuji, and completely occupied Nest City No. 5 on the 27th of the same month.

The next month, Jin launched a second offensive, personally leading troops in a blitzkrieg against Nest City No. 7 in the Central Asia region, breaching the city's defenses within 36 hours and occupying the entire territory.

By the end of May, the Second and Third Legions launched simultaneous offensives, leveling the joint forces of Nest City No. 13 and Nest City No. 17 in the Middle East and taking over these two cities.

On May 30, the First Legion, after completing its reorganization, captured Nest City No. 20, once known as "Constantinople." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The advance of the three legions and Jin spread like a prairie fire, instantly burning down the original order of the Nest Cities.

It was only at this point that the corporations realized what Jin was really up to.

Thus, in early June, seven large Nest Cities on the European continent, including Nest City No. 1, Nest City No. 2, and Nest City No. 13, formed a coalition of more than ten million to oppose the three legions on the vast Eastern European plains.

Due to Jin's current planning of the western front, coupled with the Death God Organization also personally stepping in, dispatching multiple High Tier Apprentice Death Gods to hold back Chen Zaikun and Jiang Wuji, the war fell into a stalemate.

Tens of millions crowded onto the plains, continuously bombarding each other with shells, while in the sky, Apprentice Death Gods battled each other, and the flames of aircraft and giant ships lit up the sky.

...

It was nighttime, and a rare silence fell upon the frontline trenches.

But it wasn't because both sides had a truce; rather, it was because the Equality Association Legion, as the defending side, had suffered a significant blow in the day and had to cease fire for reorganization.

Private Li Ye of the Third Legion curled up in the trench, rubbing his hands and blowing on them in an attempt to warm himself up, but even when his hands became swollen, the chill on his hands and feet lingered for a long time.

He would inadvertently recall the day's carnage.

Their division was responsible for guarding several large air force bases and space elevators behind them, a very heavy responsibility. If they were to collapse, the entire frontline would suffer a massive blow, potentially losing air superiority.

Because of this, the Third Legion's commander, Vitinya, provided them with a large amount of advanced equipment, including land cruisers and heavy mecha. The division's manpower also exceeded 30,000, making it definitely a main force unit in a single direction.
