Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

In the southwest region, a giant eagle at the Nascent Soul stage suddenly appeared, blotting out the sky and dominating all directions.

Wherever the giant eagle went, it erased all traces of human existence.

Everything happened so suddenly that before anyone could react, the southwest region was completely cut off from the outside world.

The giant eagle announced that the Ten Thousand Mountains would henceforth be its territory, and anyone who trespassed would be killed!

Perhaps it was afraid that humans would go to extremes, so it did not take any further action after occupying the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Sadly, this is barely good news for humanity.

At least it's not a dead end or a matter of extermination.

If several Nascent Soul level demons were to launch a joint attack, it would truly be an apocalypse with nowhere to hide.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the giant serpent attacked again, devouring half of the people of Qingcheng, before retreating once more when Taiyi Thirteen and the others arrived.

......

They can't beat them in a fight, and they can't defend against them.

With war raging and devastation everywhere, no one knows what the future holds, or whether there will ever be light again.

This is not the outcome everyone wanted to see.

But it just happened so suddenly.

There was no discussion whatsoever, not even a hint; it just happened.

A war between people might involve a diplomatic statement, giving everyone ample time to respond.

But who tells you these things, you beast?

They acted immediately.

They give humans no time to react, they follow no rules, and they show no mercy!

Before anyone could react, they had already completed their animalistic slaughter.

Whether or not humans can accept it, it is an objective fact that inspires despair.

"Even the three-headed Nascent Soul demon has been mobilized. Is Tianzhen trying to destroy us...?" Ma Dongcan murmured.

"It might not be death yet, but it's possible that we're about to enter an era where humans and great demons coexist!" Xia Wudi shook his head.

"Brother Ye hasn't emerged from seclusion yet. Once he breaks through, things might improve!" Master Luyin sighed.

"So what if Ye Chen really breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage? How can we deal with three Nascent Soul demons? We can't fight them all by ourselves! According to our information, there's still one Nascent Soul demon that hasn't made a move yet. How are we going to fight it? Don't forget there's also a black dragon above the Nascent Soul stage!!!" Ma Dongcan put his hand to his forehead.

It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to dampen the spirits at this crucial juncture.

But that's just how it is.

Everyone else fell silent upon hearing this, and no one objected. Even if Ma Dongcan hadn't said it, didn't they think the same way?

Everyone knew that even if Ye Chen really broke through, the current situation would not be easy to change.

Nascent Soul level demons surrounded them, while Golden Core level demons followed closely behind, eyeing them menacingly.

How can a newly awakened Nascent Soul cultivator compare to these veteran demon kings?

One hand cannot clap!

What if those Nascent Soul demons feel that Ye Chen's appearance has affected their plans, and instead turn around and join forces to eliminate him first...?

Then, there really isn't even the last glimmer of hope left!

Humanity is likely about to face its most difficult and darkest period.

Perhaps by then, it will be time for us to perish together.

Of course, there is another possible outcome:

Once Ye Chen breaks through, he will be qualified to negotiate with other Nascent Soul demons.

At that time, everyone will keep to themselves, humanity will gather its elite forces, and wait for the rise of a new genius.

Perhaps this situation will improve when humanity has two Nascent Soul level experts.

Xiao Qi and Weiwei exchanged a glance; they weren't so pessimistic.

Weiwei reassured the old men, "You don't need to be so pessimistic! The problem will be solved once Brother Ye Chen comes out of seclusion!"

Xiao Qi nodded: "That's right, we just need to stabilize the current situation."

What neither of them said was that achieving the Nascent Soul stage shouldn't actually be that difficult, right?

How long have they been cultivating?

Once Ye Chen emerges from seclusion, we can cultivate together for a while longer. Reaching the Nascent Soul stage will be a piece of cake, won't it?

Taiyi Shisan forced a smile: "Yes, there's always a solution. Things will work themselves out. Let's have a meeting with the leaders first to discuss our next steps!"

......

That day, Xia Wudi and others met with a group of leaders for an emergency meeting.

Let's discuss what to do next!

At this juncture, everyone should be of one mind and work together, whether they are mortal forces or cultivators, to break the deadlock.

The two sides talked for a long time, and when they parted, everyone looked solemn.

On this day, Project Fire was officially launched.

As the name suggests, this is a plan to preserve the human race!

All kinds of supplies have been stockpiled and are just waiting for personnel to be in place.

Elites from various industries received a message almost simultaneously, instructing them to gather at a designated location within 24 hours.

Humanity has finally come to this!

Regardless of whether Ye Chen succeeds in breaking through, the Fire Seed Project must be implemented, and preparations must be made for both possibilities.

Passive waiting has never been our style; the Chinese people believe that human will can overcome nature.

Once we reach the point of preserving the flame, it means that humanity has gone all out and prepared for the worst.

If we can negotiate, that's fine; if not... then let's use super weapons to cover the entire globe!

This is the final deterrent!

It might not be able to harm the Nascent Soul stage demons, but with their nests destroyed, they probably won't fare much better!

Trying to slowly boil this land like a frog in water? No way!

If beasts don't follow the rules, then let's not follow the rules at all!

That evening, an announcement swept the globe.

The gist of it is that a powerful demon is running rampant, leaving the people with no way to survive.

If the great demon does not cease its invasion within 6 hours, then an indiscriminate attack will be launched against the great demon's original country!

In short: If you won't let us live, then none of us should live!

Even clay figures have a bit of temper.

If powerful demons attacked simultaneously, no one would believe it if it weren't for the presence of a human behind it.

Last time it was dried by Sakura.

This announcement sparked heated international debate. Some were indifferent, some were puzzled, some sneered, and some were restless...

The countries where the great demon resided were the first to react, and they all stood up to declare that the great demon's actions had nothing to do with their countries.

It's all because the great demon went out of control after leaving their country!

Or to put it another way, it's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away!

If a powerful demon is unwilling, they can't persuade him no matter how much they plead.

Therefore, they stated publicly that it really had nothing to do with them!

There's no reason for me to take the blame; I'll just stick to my guns and deny it.

But you can just say it's unrelated and that's all there is to it?

Speak to my truth! Speak to our tens of millions of compatriots who perished!

......

The next morning, the great demon did not retreat.

The giant snake seems to be provoking and launching a sneak attack on a city!

Four Autumn Maidens rose from the sea and landed precisely on Cherry Blossom Island!

Those in charge on Sakura Island never imagined that the Chinese were serious this time...

Everyone is equal before the truth!

None of the key figures in charge of Sakura Island escaped unscathed.

The survivors on Sakura Island, who had just been encouraged by the giant serpent to reproduce, never expected that disaster would strike again.

They didn't even have time to say good morning to the world before going straight to good night and reuniting with their loved ones.
