A month had flown by in the blink of an eye. Xu Nian had also issued the Task of fending off the Sea Race invasion to the Players.

Almost all the Players had made their way to Hailong Town, and during that time, many of the Sea Race had been slain. Of course, there were casualties among the Players as well, as the Sea Race's counterattacks were fierce and coordinated.

[Task: Sea Race Invasion.]

[Description: Within the vicinity of Hailong Town, follow Sect Leader Xu Nian to resist three waves of Sea Race assaults.]

[Reward: 1,000 Contribution Points.]

A reward of 1,000 Contribution Points was quite substantial for the Players, especially after the Contribution Point reward system revision. Currently, Players had a great demand for Contribution Points. They lacked Old Mo's talent for learning the Eight Gates Escape Armor and could only enhance their abilities by spending them. Unlocking each gate of the Eight Gates Escape Armor required a significant number of Contribution Points. Previously, Players had few Contribution Points and were reluctant to spend them on unlocking gates. Now, however, they had cast aside their reservations, only needing to reserve enough Contribution Points for Reincarnation. Completing this Task would earn them another 1,000 Contribution Points, and there were additional rewards for killing members of the Sea Race.

"My great saber is thirsting for battle!"

"I've eaten so much seafood in so many different ways lately, I feel like I'm going to puke!"

"Charge! Whether it's Sea Race or Demonic Beasts, take them all down!"

"The Second Legion has assembled! Everyone, get ready! We aim to deal with the Sea Race on the Dam!"

"..."

Xu Nian came to help alongside the Blood Demoness and Luo Yuan. The trio was shocked by the sight before them the moment they arrived.

Damn!

「Outside Hailong Town.」

A gigantic Building, hundreds of meters high and kilometers long, appeared before their eyes. The entire Dam completely encircled this coastal area. Behind it, spillways had been prepared, allowing seawater to flow back into the Endless Sea. Furthermore, the entire Dam featured over a hundred spillways, each with an Array formed above it. Additionally, the Dam itself was inscribed with various Arrays, some for reinforcement and others for defense.

Even Xu Nian was deeply impressed. In just one month, they had laid a layer of iron plates on the beach, connecting them to the distant mountains. To ensure even greater stability, the mountains themselves had been coated with a layer of molten iron. On top of these iron plates, an enormous Dam with a drainage system had been constructed.

Such construction could almost rival the Three Gorges Dam, right? Well played. It had to be the Players. If this had to be done in reality, it would be a miracle to complete it in a month.

Luo Yuan, looking at the fortress-like structure before him, widened his eyes and asked, "Xu Nian, is this how you're planning to fight the Sea Race?"

Could this wall with holes really stop the Sea Race? He had researched the Sea Race. He knew their advantage lay in controlling water. Especially in seawater; if they summoned massive waves, everyone here would be doomed! Facing the power of nature, it would be nearly impossible to resist unless a great power from the Human Race intervened.

"This is excellent!" Xu Nian said contentedly. "You'll see when the time comes. Before this Dam, even the largest waves will be useless!"

Hearing this, Luo Yuan remained somewhat skeptical. What exactly gives you such confidence? Do you really have so much faith in this pitted wall?

The Blood Demoness quietly watched the assembly of over a thousand Players in front, then turned her head and whispered, "It seems the Disciples are all eager for a fight."

"Building something like this wasn't easy; naturally, they were all fired up," Xu Nian said with a smile. "Let's go up on the Dam too and prepare to help against the Sea Race."

「Inside the command post of Hailong Town.」

Starting with a Dog rushed in and said, "Brother Xu and the others are here. Should we prepare to begin?"

Chaotic Dance Steps nodded. "Everyone onto the Dam!" he instructed. "Melee Players, take the front lines! Ranged Players, stay back! Remember, no Water Element Spells. Buffers, roam the field and buff everyone to ensure maximum melee damage output! If anyone dies, reincarnate and fill their position immediately. Nearby Players should cover for the injured and expedite their Reincarnation. Don't waste time!"

Listening to his arrangements, Starting with a Dog took note and hurriedly ran off to convey the instructions to everyone.

「Atop the Dam.」

I, Xuanqing, glanced at the members of the Second Legion and shouted, "Everyone, combat readiness! Don't break formation! Fill any gaps immediately! Melee forward, ranged behind!"

The Players of the Second Legion began to mobilize. The Players on the Dam also began to take their positions in an orderly fashion.

"So nervous, this is my first time participating in such a large-scale story Task."

"You're a Third Test Player, right? You'll get used to it. We First Test Players were even more nervous during our first large-scale story Task. After a few times, didn't we get used to it too?"

"Damn it, looks like I can't see my girlfriend tonight. I promised to celebrate her birthday with her."

"Ya'er, girlfriends aren't as fun as games! Can she let you blast her with spells over and over?"

"Hmm... I think she can, and she'd be lying on the bed, letting me blast away."

"Get lost! You want us to log you out right now?"

"..."

Xu Nian, Blood Demoness, and Luo Yuan stood atop the Dam, watching the churning waves in the distance, a hint of solemnity in their expressions. Perhaps, in the face of the immense Endless Sea, the Dam built by the Players still seemed somewhat inadequate.

Luo Yuan pondered for a moment, then casually took out an array disk. "Activate!"

In the next moment, dazzling streams of light flowed from the array disk, disappearing into the Dam beneath their feet. Soon, the entire Dam was enveloped in this brilliant radiance.

"Just reinforcing it a bit. It feels somewhat unstable," Luo Yuan said earnestly, turning his head.

Xu Nian nodded lightly. It's always better to be cautious with such matters.

"Here they come!" Steady as an Old Dog pointed at the Sea Surface and yelled, "The Sea Race is here! Everyone get ready! Old Kai, use your Communication Ring to contact the Command Post!"

"Got it!" Starting with a Dog responded.

On the dim, churning Sea Surface, countless Shrimp Soldiers, like dense red specks, revealed their heads, their bodies quickly emerging from the water. Their numbers were definitely in the tens of thousands! Ahead of them were even more Crab Generals, each at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Among them were also numerous Seahorse Military Advisors, Sea Demons, and other such members of the Sea Race.

Over 1,000 Players facing tens of thousands from the Sea Race—the sheer scale of the scene made all the Players gasp.

"What a spectacle! This is absolutely massive!"

If this were on a PC, wouldn't the graphics card fry?

These effects are incredible! Truly a top-tier game! I could play this for the rest of my life!

"..."

The Players, one after another, used the photo function to record the moment. Some even started recording videos and Live Streaming. It seemed no one wanted to miss this spectacle.

Could any other game create such an epic scene in a lifetime?

"Damn, there's a dragon!" a player shouted excitedly. "Did you see that? A dragon just burst out of the sea in the distance! A real, proper dragon!"

"I've got freaking goosebumps! Is this seriously a game scene?"

"This game is insane! So damn awesome!"

"Ya'er! This is the kind of game real men play! I have to get my Friends to join the Fourth Test!"

"..."

The Players watched the tumultuous scene on the distant Sea Surface with excitement, an indescribable feeling welling up inside them.

Could other games offer such a grand spectacle? Could a mouse and keyboard ever provide such an immersive experience?

Junlin sensed something approaching that other Players hadn't noticed and immediately became vigilant. The Sea Race is definitely not as simple as they appear.

"Something is approaching!" Junlin turned his head. "Feng Wu, use Meteor Fire Rain to sweep through them first."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wu took up the bow crafted for him by the Great Inventors and drew it using Spiritual Qi. There were no arrows! Yet, the moment he released the string, a sky full of fiery rain instantly descended towards the front.

All the Players looked on in confusion at this spectacle.

"What's going on? Did the people from Lingxiao Hall set off fireworks for us early?"

"Fireworks, my ass! How do you even set off fireworks like that?"

"Junlin seemed to say something just now. He looked quite anxious. What's happening?"

"Everyone, look ahead!"

"..."

The Players stared in the direction the Meteor Fire Rain was falling. Visible ripples quickly appeared in the air, and then, one by one, disheveled, ferocious-looking Sea Demons materialized, dodging the fiery barrage.

"Disregarding martial virtue!" Dung Beetle said, his scalp tingling. "They outnumber us and still resort to sneak attacks?"

If these Sea Demons got any closer, many Melee Players would likely be killed instantly. The Sea Race's Sea Demons could turn invisible? They were natural assassins! If not for Junlin's warning, the Players would have suffered heavy losses before the battle truly began.

"Damn it, let's fight back!" Flourishing Flowers turned and shouted, "Fire Element Players from Cloud Lament, unleash your Fire Magic at them!"

The Fire Element Players from Cloud Lament could no longer hold back.

I, Xuanqing, also turned and said, "Fire Element Players from the Second Legion, lend a hand!"

"Li Character - Firefly Meteor!"

"Fire Escape - Phoenix Fire!"

"Fire Escape - Fire Dragon Bullet!"

"Fire Escape - I'll Burn Your Whole Family!"

"..."

A barrage of Fire Magic spells flew out, engulfing the entire sky in flames that swept overwhelmingly towards the Sea Race.

Luo Yuan watched the sky full of flames, the corner of his mouth twitching involuntarily.

Are these even human? Are all of you from the Profound Yellow Sect this fierce? Wait! It should be *our* Profound Yellow Sect now! Compared to these guys, he, a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, seemed so weak. A group of Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, working together, could actually create such a devastating scene?

Xu Nian watched this scene with satisfaction.

This is what Players are all about. Only Players could create such a large-scale, epic spectacle!
