Chapter 811: Chapter 19: Only Annihilation, No Surrender

Brilliant Realm, near the Creator Altar.

"Big Sister is too conspicuous!"

"I bet that Moon God is definitely plotting how to snatch Big Sister’s Tripod Furnace now!"

"I actually think He’s afraid..."

"After all, no matter how He guesses, He can’t possibly predict that Big Sister, the Supreme Death God, also doubles as the Supreme Sun."

...

The moment Yao Xin pulled out the Fixed Star Tripod Furnace, the Immortals present knew their Big Sister was truly going all out.

Indecision leads to recklessness, a trait common among most Immortals.

No matter how composed Yao Xin usually appears, she ultimately remains part of the Immortal clan.

That rashness and abandon buried in the collective consciousness are an essence she cannot conceivably hide.

"Now doesn’t seem like the time to discuss this!"

Slamming the table in front of him, Balian suddenly raised his voice.

"Aren’t we deliberating on how to completely open the path to the other world?"

Though massive amounts of spatial fragments appeared in both worlds, they weren’t stable time-space channels.

As the battle intensifies, it’s inevitable that more Ascenders and even ordinary creatures will join the fight.

At that point, whichever side has the more powerful support will naturally tip the scales in their favor.

In this regard, the Brilliant Realm, as a subsidiary world of the Mountain and Sea Realm, has an inherent advantage.

Many researches and technologies inconvenient to apply in the Mountain and Sea Realm can first be experimented in the Brilliant Realm.

Even if things go awry, the Thebes army can only invade the Brilliant Realm and turn it into the battlefield of both sides.

Regardless of the final outcome, the Mountain and Sea Realm, maintaining a complete logistical supply chain, is absolutely more equipped for war than the Thebes World with its breached time-space channel.

"I think this is a lousy idea." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Shuli slightly lifted his eyelids, indifferent to Balian’s thoughts.

"In a true battle of the Gods, ordinary mortals aren’t even considered expendables..."

"What you’re doing is just expanding the scale of war, contributing nothing to its ultimate direction."

In Shuli’s view, keeping the war contained between Gods, without involving ordinary beings from both worlds, was the best way to handle this war.

Thoughts like Balian’s of universal participation were simply madness.

"What you’re describing only applies to ordinary civilizations, but do you think the Mountain and Sea Civilization is ordinary?"

Without denying Shuli’s statement, Balian calmly countered with a question.

Ordinary civilizations certainly can’t sway wars between Gods, especially ones with thousands or tens of thousands of Gods in battle.

But the thing is, the Mountain and Sea Civilization has never been just an ordinary civilization.

Or more precisely, even if the struggle and retaliation of the Mountain and Sea Civilization truly can’t impact the final outcome of this Divine Pantheon battle.

The Mountain and Sea Civilization will never allow itself to be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

—Kindness with the kind, evil with the evil.

Facing the reckless invasion of the Thebes Gods, even at the cost of life, ripping a piece of flesh from the enemy is the greatest distinction between the Mountain and Sea Civilization and other civilizations.

"A civilization with vigor, a truly powerful civilization, doesn’t have the option to surrender."

"Even if you wish to surrender, the enemy absolutely won’t allow you to muddle through."

With a simple remark, Balian successfully convinced most of the Immortals present.

"The Mountain and Sea Realm’s ’Sky Fortresses’... they’ve all ascended!"

At this moment, the voice of the Lord of Ghosts and Gods sounded in the Immortals’ ears.

The Sky Fortress is a branch of Sky City technology, an ultimate weapon prepared for war by the Mountain and Sea Civilization.

Having removed all deep-space exploration functions, replaced by automated weapon assembly lines and various godslaying armaments specifically targeting Gods, this is what the Sky Fortresses are.

No exaggeration, a fully armed Sky Fortress is practically a mechanized, mass-produced artificial War God.

Looking at the development of the Mountain and Sea Civilization, there are merely hundreds of such completely militarized Sky Fortresses.

As for the personnel stationed within?

Without exception, they are the top artificial God pilots, possessing powerful abilities to battle the Gods.

"See, as I said?"

"Whether the Mountain and Sea Civilization participates in the war has never depended on you or me but on the will of the Mountain and Sea Civilization."

"What we can do is pave the battlefield in advance for the Mountain and Sea Civilization’s participation, minimizing casualties."

Silently staring at Balian, Shuli for the first time doubted himself.

Clearly, Shuli, as the Immortal most in tune with the everyday life of the Mountain and Sea People, should have better insight.

But in judging overall situations, he falls short compared to Balian, residing long-term in the Brilliant Realm.

Shuli doesn’t deny experiencing a kind of emotional turmoil.

Deep down, Shuli genuinely doesn’t want the Mountain and Sea People to be drawn into the battlefield of the Gods and become negligible cheap cannon fodder in the war.

However, the Mountain and Sea Civilization’s exhibited vigor and courage also far exceeded Shuli’s expectations.

Being able to have all Sky Fortresses ascend in such a short time clearly indicates this decision wasn’t made rashly by one or two individuals.

Regardless of a civilization’s strength.

Finding one or two heroes within a large group is actually quite easy.

But if these heroes are extended to a group, even if that group constitutes only one-tenth of the whole, it’s an incredible feat.

Because it depends not only on the civilization’s information transmission speed but also on its overall education and moral values.

It’s evident that the Mountain and Sea Civilization has achieved a "do-or-die" consensus in a short span.

"How confident are you in opening a channel to the other world?"

Upon hearing Shuli ask this, Balian knew he had compromised.

As the Immortal closest to the Mountain and Sea People, convincing Shuli ensures no one else would have alternate opinions.

"Absolutely confident!"

As if to validate his words.

No sooner had Balian finished speaking than a gigantic Dragon Wolf appeared on the horizon.

"Awoo!"

On the back of Dragon Wolf Ah Dui, Yao Guang, "combined once more," was bound by ice chains.

"I’ve brought you the person you wanted!"

With one hand lifting the obedient-looking Yao Guang, Divine Walker·Shu Hai jumped down from the Dragon Wolf’s back.

"Inside it is A mon’s incarnation, which can act as a coordinate to connect to another world."

"And this incarnation has agreed to cooperate with us, the only condition being not to let Him meet His real self."
