However, during this period, humanity did not remain entirely without progress.

At the very least, with the expansion of the exploration range by the survivors, the locations of one blood altar after another were discovered.

And these were compiled by those with the intention to do so.

Currently, the number of altars discovered worldwide has already exceeded five hundred.

This is an astounding number.

Not counting those altars that have yet to be discovered.

With the current number of altars, the number of monsters arriving in this world through the altars every day is countless.

Moreover, around these altars, the most terrifying numbers of monsters are still lurking.

With five hundred altars, it's estimated that the total number of Blood Tide Monsters has already reached several tens of billions.

Now, survivors all over the world see these altars as a dire threat.

But, no one has the confidence.

To face the pressure of over a billion Blood Tide Monsters and boldly raid and destroy the altars hidden deep within.

At the same time.

This morning.

Two Sky Islands, each with an area exceeding millions of square meters and resembling large cities, were connected to each other.

On them, there are over a million humans.

The survivors from both sides looked at each other, eyes filled with curiosity or vigilance.

These two Sky Islands.

One belongs to Zhou Huang of the Huayi Alliance, and the other to Boundless of the Kunlun.

At this moment.

The two most powerful men in the current human race had their first direct encounter.

At the edge of Zhou Huang's territory, there is a small pavilion.

On it, there is a stone table and several stone benches.

The two found a place to sit down.

Boundless, with silver hair, occasionally exuded a bloodthirsty aura more terrifying than the Blood Tide Monsters.

Opposite him, Zhou Huang wore a gentle smile, one that seemed to emit a holy glow.

Two men with entirely different auras sat face-to-face at this moment.

At this time, Zhou Huang cupped his hands and said, "Brother Boundless, I've long admired you."

"I've long admired you."

Opposite him, Boundless nodded slightly, economical with words.

Zhou Huang was not angry but chuckled, "Brother Boundless, although this is our first meeting, I won't say any unnecessary words."

"You should know, the purpose of my visit today."

Zhou Huang got straight to the point.

Opposite, Boundless frowned slightly.

After a moment, Boundless spoke slowly, "Zhou Huang, I know what you want to do, but I must say, your decision is bold and crazy."

"You should know, if our operation fails, the two strongest forces of the human race will suffer heavy blows."

"By then, humanity will be in great danger."

Nevertheless, Zhou Huang merely chuckled lightly, "Without taking risks, where will opportunities come from?"

"Now, with the Blood Tide Monsters becoming more rampant, even if we don't take this step, the situation for humanity won't improve."

Boundless pondered for a moment but still shook his head and said, "Honestly, I don't have much confidence."

"And, I don't trust you either."

"You act so noble and righteous, I don't believe there is such a pure person in the world."

To this point, Zhou Huang offered no explanation.

He still wore an indifferent smile and said.

"Brother Boundless, if we succeed this time, have you considered how much benefit we could gain in one fell swoop?"

"In the face of enormous benefits, does it really matter what kind of person I am?"

Boundless was moved in his heart.

At this moment, Zhou Huang continued, "Brother Boundless, I noticed your battle merit has recently surpassed mine, did you find some treasure?"

Boundless's expression remained unchanged, "Why, can't it be that my strength itself is stronger than yours?"

Zhou Huang, hearing this, smiled and said, "Impossible, I've looked into your situation."

"The cursed item on you is indeed very powerful, but it also comes with corresponding side effects."

"If used too often, the backlash could eventually turn you into that creature."

"But recently, I've noticed you haven't shown symptoms of backlash and even appear to be improving."

"It seems you've completely resolved the curse on that item, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Boundless's fingertips trembled slightly.

He found it really frustrating to talk with this man.

Always a feeling of being seen through.

Zhou Huang didn't waste further words on this subject and continued, "Boundless, you should understand the current situation for humanity."

"If we don't destroy the blood altars, we can't possibly solve the Blood Tides."

"And we are already the two strongest forces in the entire human race."

"Only by combining our forces can we mobilize other teams to break through the terrifying Blood Tides and destroy the altars!"

Boundless also knew that what Zhou Huang said was indeed reasonable.

But he just didn't want to be led by the nose by this man.

At this time, Boundless asked, "Why not call in Star River? With him, wouldn't our combat difficulty be much less?"

Zhou Huang replied, smiling, "It would be much less, but if he was by our side, do you think we would gain any benefits?"

Boundless was stunned, and after a moment, he shook his head helplessly.

That man, unlike them, entirely a different level of existence.

After considering for a moment, Boundless asked, "Alright, when do we take action?"

Zhou Huang stood up slowly and said, "Now."

Boundless's expression became stern.

...

While Zhou Huang and Boundless were discussing taking action against the blood altar.

Han Xing was standing on the city wall of Xingyu City, satisfied as he looked at the territory now spanning millions of square meters.

"Very good, after a few days of development, the strength of my territory has already undergone a qualitative change!"
