This is the fourteenth day of Wang Jixuan's closed-door training.

In the ancient city that had long since vanished, two beams of light soared into the sky, intertwining like the DNA helix of a living organism.

When Gao Huating emerged, no one knew what exactly had happened inside.

But the aura occasionally emitted by Amina had already exuded a dominating power.

In contrast, Wang Jixuan's aura did not carry any sense of oppression; more so, it carried a serene and ethereal aura.

Meanwhile.

The border region of the D5 Combined Combat Zone.

A densely packed convoy of armored vehicles was advancing southeast.

Fu Jian stood in the command room on the bridge of the aerospace carrier, watching the steel torrent on the screen.

He had a habit of maintaining a stern expression—which was essentially expressionless;

This way, those under his command could not determine the severity of the situation based on his facial expressions.

It was indeed quite severe.

This time, the Blade Beasts did not disperse their forces to attack various major combat zones. —It was a tactic to hold back the living forces of humanity.

After several great wars before, the remaining King-level Blade Beast Groups on Earth were few. Now, a large number of King-level Blade Beast Groups were gathering at the D8 Combined Combat Zone boundary under the protection of four Pillar Blade Beasts.

From six directions, a total of one hundred and twenty King-level Blade Beast Groups, plus six Pillar Blade Beasts (two of which were about to awaken through sacrifice) and the Blade Beasts they personally led.

If D8 fell, then D7/D9 would face catastrophic disaster.

The D8, D7, and D9 are three newly established human battle zones with a total population of 130 million, all nurtured by Fu Jian. The generals and officials within are mostly from the Youthful Faction, steadfast in their beliefs and tightly united with Fu Jian's D5 Combined Combat Zone.

Fu Jian could not abandon them;

Human society absolutely must not abandon this 26% of the population.

However, the speed at which the Blade Beasts were gathering was obviously faster compared to before.

And without enough Spirit Cultivators to counterbalance, the strength of the six Pillar Blade Beasts was not something they could resist at this stage.

Fu Jian glanced at the data sent by the supercomputing center.

According to the simulations from the supercomputer, the first wave of Blade Beast impact could occur in as little as twenty-four hours.

There was some good news:

Thanks to Fu Jian's adjustments, the deployment efficiency of the Battle Alliance was decent, and reinforcements humanity could mobilize were gradually arriving, and the orbital adjustments for the three Space Fortresses had been completed.

There was also bad news:

Spiritual Ability City was preparing to demand exorbitant prices; they readily agreed verbally, but the deployment of high-end combat forces was extremely slow, unable to arrive at the designated location promptly.

This added a layer of gloom to the battle even before it erupted.

Fu Jian actually didn't quite understand.

What exactly were these Spiritual Ability Users relying on?

Their master had been killed by Wang Zheng, and two more had temporarily cooperated with Wang Zheng, yet these people still maintained a haughty stance...

"Commander."

Dongfang Zhenghong, who had just arrived, saluted from behind.

Fu Jian acknowledged, "How did the talks go with them?"

"They readily agreed," Dongfang Zhenghong couldn't help but curse, then said, "They seem to want a public invitation letter issued jointly by the Commanders of all major Combined Combat Zones, preferably addressing the entirety of human society."

Fu Jian:...

Dongfang Zhenghong whispered, "The conditions they proposed are nothing more than food and reputation; as long as we provide it, they'll immediately deploy troops."

"What do you think?" Fu Jian asked.

Dongfang Zhenghong replied, "Food can be given, reputation cannot. It's a matter of the political ecosystem."

Fu Jian shook his head slowly, "The one cutting off Spiritual Ability City's food is the military of D1/D2/D3. They were also the main food suppliers for Spiritual Ability City before, so we actually cannot intervene in this issue."

"Spiritual Ability City is already on the verge of a humanitarian crisis."

Dongfang Zhenghong sighed:

"The Spiritual Ability Users committed evil, but the civilians are innocent victims exploited by the Spiritual Ability Users."

Fu Jian did not respond, continuing to watch the screen in front of him, allowing his perspective to roam around.

After two minutes, Fu Jian said, "Regarding the food issue, I will discuss it with a few of them. Take over my duties."

"Yes!"

Dongfang Zhenghong saluted, moved to Fu Jian's side, and put on a pair of holographic glasses.

He immediately saw the page that only Fu Jian could see, and then, with the authority of an acting commander, observed the entire battle situation.

Fu Jian did not hurry to exit the command interface, silently watching Dongfang Zhenghong operate.

Dongfang Zhenghong asked quietly, "Commander, is there still no news from Wang Zheng?"

"Hmm, Mu Dan reports every eight hours; Wang Zheng is still in closed-door training and should be at a crucial moment now."

"He wouldn't be aiming for a 'Divine Weapon Descends from Heaven' scenario?" Dongfang Zhenghong laughed.

"Don't always pin hope on individuals," Fu Jian reminded, "Overreliance will only lead to disasters for both parties; Wang Zheng is ultimately going to leave us."

"Yes."

Dongfang Zhenghong responded solemnly, put away his smile, introspected himself and devoted his full attention to the current work.

Soon after, Fu Jian confidently exited this interface.

The old Commander moved towards a wide seat on one side, leaning back slowly with support, and began maintaining this mechanical combat body.

He too needed rest, to regain his energy for later combat at the front lines.

Just as Fu Jian's consciousness was about to sink into sleep, a sudden pop-up message brought him back to alertness.

It was an SOS from Mai Qingting.

Ancient civilization technology, removing the resentful power from Blade Beast Meat...

Fu Jian didn't hesitate much and immediately issued orders for several research institutes to simultaneously carry out the application of this technology, extracting the original document of the technology, reviewing it twice, and then sending it to Mai Qingting.
