However, for the Four Great Generals, their hearts were not happy at all. Because when they sent a divine sense, they had already calculated their casualties this time.
In the entire defensive circle, there were only thirty-one thousand three hundred Heavenly People left. This number included their own forces.
In other words, since they fell into the arrays, nearly nine thousand Heavenly People cultivators had been directly lost in the arrays. Plus, the losses of the two legions from the Immeasurable Heaven and the Carefree Heaven before, they had almost not even touched a hair of the Human Clan in the Pangu world, yet already suffered losses of nearly ten thousand forces!
This was already a quarter of all their legions combined!
This was the total number of one of their legions!
These nearly ten thousand Heavenly People cultivators of the ancestral realm, had all been thoroughly wiped out!
They had already gone to reincarnation!
When they are able to grow back, it's hard to say how many ages of accumulation will be needed.
What's more, among them, no one can say how many Heavenly People cultivators will reincarnate into other beings, perhaps even into the hated Human Clan.
The remaining thirty thousand Heavenly People cultivators were not all intact either. Among them, over ten thousand were severely injured, almost losing their combat capabilities!
That is to say, right now, they only had twenty thousand cultivators capable of fighting.
And these twenty thousand were still barely sustaining the exhaustion of this array.
"What exactly is this array?" Lan Guang gritted his teeth: "In all my life, I have never heard of such a terrifying array in this world!"
"This is the Great Heaven array." Jinghong spoke coldly.
She glanced at Lan Guang and said coldly: "Any Great Heaven Realm, when formed, will have a corresponding array that derives along with it. Every array is different. For instance, in our Primordial World Purple Gold Heaven, there also exists a Great Heaven array. Such a Great Heaven array can only be controlled by the Heaven Lord, others may form arrays according to the Heaven Lord's will, but cannot run or control the array."
"So...only the Great Heaven Lord can control such an array?" Lan Guang said angrily. He recalled that such an array should exist within the Immeasurable Heaven too, but he hadn't connected it to the current situation.
On one hand, it was because such an array had never been activated in the Immeasurable Heaven. On the other hand, deep down, he still didn't regard Chu Mo as a true Great Heaven Lord, looking down somewhat on such a newly appointed Heaven Lord.
Jinghong nodded: "Indeed, moreover, such arrays may not be just a single one..."
"..." The others, hearing this, couldn't help but have their heads filled with black lines.
Just one is enough!
They had already been slaughtered miserably, almost to the point of soul dispersion. If two more arrays come, they probably wouldn't make it out alive.
"But such an array requires an incredible consumption of resources. I had previously overlooked that Chu Mo could have the audacity to set such an array. Although he is an enemy, I can't help but admire his ability; generally, even Heaven Lords need to spend a large amount of time to set such an array. His ability to set it up quickly is indeed unexpected." Jinghong said.
Huitian asked: "How much resources would setting an array like this consume?"
Jinghong thought for a moment and said: "If it were like our mature Great Heaven Realm, with the context of the Three Thousand Realms, it would at least...consume about one percent of the total resources. Moreover, this consumption is permanent. Many resources cannot be regenerated. Even those that can be regenerated, at least require several billion years to accumulate anew. For the new Great Heaven Realm like the Pangu world..."
Jinghong pondered, with a bit of admiration on her face, she said: "Let alone the Three Thousand Realms, they don't even have one realm! They have only a main world, which is the Pangu world. Therefore, setting such an array would consume at least one-third of their resources!"
The Four Great Generals and all other top Heavenly People cultivators listened, and all couldn't help but gasp!
One-third of the resources of a Great Heaven Realm...what kind of concept is this? Chu Mo...is simply a madman! This is too ruthless!
If he does this, would the beings of the entire Pangu world agree?
Even in the Four Great Heavens, if the Four Heaven Lords want to do this, even if it consumed only one percent of the total resources, the Heavenly People would absolutely not agree to such an absurd thing.
Shen Xi said from the side, "So, in the Pangu world, at most, only this one array can be formed, without a second one, right?"
Jinghong shook her head, giving a bitter smile, "Not necessarily."
Everyone was at a loss.
Patriarch Lan Guang said incredulously, "Does that Chu Mo really dare to exhaust all the resources of the entire Pangu world and plot our demise? If he kills all of us, do the Four Great Heavens think they will let him go? Will they not dispatch more forces to attack? Especially since the Four Great Lords haven't even shown themselves yet! Even if this time he completely defeats us, if we in the Four Great Heavens don't send more people here, his Pangu world will still become a thoroughly depleted wasteland! A wasteland that, even if transformed into a Great Heaven, will be a world on the brink of death. What meaning is there in that?"
Everyone couldn't help but nod, mostly agreeing with Patriarch Lan Guang's analysis. They did not believe Chu Mo would be so reckless. It would be like pushing himself into a dead-end without leaving any path for retreat.
Jinghong continued, "I didn't understand what kind of person Chu Mo was before, but now, I think I have some understanding of him... I believe, it is something he could do."
"I don't believe he will be so crazy. Perhaps he thinks that such a grand array should be enough to cripple us. Then he can lead his people to engage us in a decisive battle," Shen Xi said coldly.
Patriarch Lan Guang said seriously, "I have a suggestion regarding this matter. Now, we can withstand the erosion of this array. Such an array cannot operate forever. So, let the four main commanders, along with hundreds of deputy commanders, sustain it. The rest should heal if injured, rest and recover if not, and when this array stops functioning, we will charge directly at them!"
Shen Xi nodded, "For now... that is the only option." He sighed, "If those people hadn't panicked, our losses wouldn't have been so great."
Jinghong coldly remarked, "They showed me the uglier side of Heavenly People's nature. We are not much nobler than we imagined."
"You are the commander, so don't say things to dispirit the troops." Shen Xi glanced at Jinghong, "Right now, what we need most is to keep our strength as Patriarch Lan Guang said, so by the moment this array stops, we charge ahead!"
Jinghong's lips moved slightly. She wanted to say: if this array stops and we rush forward only to find ourselves in another array... what then?
But seeing that no one believed Chu Mo would be so insane as to use another third of the resources to set up a second array, Jinghong held back her words. Yet a trace of doubt persisted in her heart.
She knew a bit more than the other three main commanders. She came from the Primordial World Purple Gold Heaven and was well acquainted with Pangu's life.
Many Heavenly People were not familiar with Pangu. They only knew him as a god among humans, the sole deity in this Heaven and Earth. But they didn't know what kind of personality Pangu had.
In fact, when she was very young, during her true childhood, at the point of reincarnation, having just been born into this world, she was fortunate enough to meet Pangu once.
At that time, Pangu did not appear as he did postmortem, transforming into an immeasurable world. Back then, Pangu was an attractive, graceful human.
Jinghong still remembers the thrill she felt upon first seeing Pangu, when she was merely a youthful and naive Heavenly Person girl. Standing beside the Great Heaven Lord in Purple Gold Heaven, she watched the human converse happily with the Great Heaven Lord.
That scene was forever etched in her memory.
At that time, Pangu hadn't had a falling out with the Four Great Lords.
Later, as she gradually matured, and as the outside world slowly changed day by day.
At first, Heavenly People from the Four Great Heavens began inexplicably harboring intense hatred for humans. Then Pangu left the Four Great Heavens, and ultimately... the Human Clan and Heavenly People completely broke with each other following Pangu's departure.
Actually, few know that had Pangu not protected the humans, he could have been the highest-ranking person beside the Great Heaven Lord.
Be it Heavenly People or the Human Clan, both would look up to him.
Hence, Jinghong had never understood why Pangu was so stubborn. Was it really that important to defend one's clan?
Now she suddenly seemed to understand. From Chu Mo, she saw the stubborn shadow of Pangu from back then. Despite never having truly interacted with Chu Mo.
Yet deep in her heart, Jinghong already considered Chu Mo akin to Pangu. This evaluation is exceedingly high, but she felt it was not excessive. Perhaps... it might even be somewhat low. Chu Mo's future achievements could very well surpass those of the Great God Pangu.
Therefore, Jinghong, deep down, wasn't optimistic about the prospect of this crusade against the Pangu world. But she couldn't voice such thoughts. She understood that too much complaining would affect overall morale. Yet she truly felt pessimistic.
This group of Heavenly People cultivators endured quite a lengthy period under the support of the Four Great Commanders and several deputy commanders.
