Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves
Chapter 593 - 333: The Association’s True Foundation
Actually, this war unfolded somewhat too suddenly.
The cause was simply that the High Martial World decided to fully retreat, first resolving the crisis in the Primordial World and striving for help from several Saints there.
This resulted in other worlds needing to assemble an oversized army within a short time to address the crisis.
Yet, it also made many within this army unclear about what was happening.
Especially those from the Elements World, which comprised the largest portion.
They simply follow the task of the Sovereign.
Many among them are even oblivious to the fact that their Sovereign has changed.
This led to some of them exhibiting a certain "slacking off" behavior during the previous war.
After all, being forcibly ordered, forced to a place seemingly vastly different from any plane or battlefield in the past, fighting against peculiar enemies, and allies, who are somewhat strange—types never seen before.
Due to being able to become Divine Spirits, even if relying on Divine Format and luck to do so, it's unlikely that any would rashly engage fully.
However, this situation lasted until the rewards were distributed.
Although before the battle, they were informed through superiors or even through the "Divine Oracle of the Sovereign" about the richness of the rewards, these Divine Spirits weren't new to being conscripted, and naturally understood that obtaining such scale rewards on a battlefield was quite arduous.
Yet, this was genuine!
The rewards were even directly handed out to them.
When some individuals around them received the resources, Divine Artifacts, or even higher-ranking Divine Format exchanged by their military merits, disbelief pervaded the entire army with intense fervor.
These rewards were almost beyond imagination.
After all, in their view, such a scale of war wasn't that difficult.
Enemies were merely some beings with special powers, yet without intelligence, likely experimental creations of a mighty Main God.
Compared to that, the richness of the rewards was sufficient to sway most people's hearts!
In the small plane, they are Divine Spirits.
But in the large plane existing as God's realm, they are merely soldiers, adventurers.
These rewards are worthy of their dedication.
Moreover, those who reached this level are undoubtedly intelligent.
A significant portion had already gathered vital information from some bizarre "war comrades" around them.
"The All Heavens End-of-the-World Civilization Mutual Aid Association!"
"Celestial Dao Tree!"
"Blessings of Qi Fortune."
"Great Achievements's Grace!"
"..."
Though fragmented, this information was enough to let these individuals vaguely realize something.
Next came an even more intense fighting zeal.
This war was truly brief; many regretted not gaining the utmost military merits during the prior short-term battles.
However, clear news had already arrived.
More battles lay ahead!
These changes were all witnessed by Shen Yu, who could only say, regardless of what kind of war, from recruits to veterans, only requires a worthy battle.
"The army morale is still usable, just waiting for the three Saints to prepare." Shen Yu muttered.
The preparation time for the three Saints wasn't brief either.
After all, at their level, every move is significant.
Moreover, they hadn't taken action personally for a long time.
At most, they had only sparred beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
But now, it's not just about taking action themselves, facing equally powerful enemies, they even need to re-coordinate with their disciples.
Especially the Tongtian Sect Leader.
If a battle of Saints was to occur, both Jieyin Daoist and Lady Nuwa would unhesitantly choose Tongtian Sect Leader as the principal.
This reputation was forged through battles.
In the past Conferred Gods War, despite the changes in strength and mindset due to conflicts among the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian Sect Leader still fought against many alone and nearly won.
This regret hadn't faded even after the conferment of gods.
Otherwise, why would Tongtian Sect Leader keep improving his Immortals Killing Formation and Ten Thousand Immortals Formation?
So, after nearly a year had passed, Shen Yu finally awaited the ready Tongtian Sect Leader amid anticipation.
"You possess the ability to gather fortunes, I need to borrow it," Tongtian Sect Leader unceremoniously said to Shen Yu, "With this combination of billions of immortals, my Ten Thousand Immortals Formation could even rival a Saint!"
To rival a Saint!
Just these words made High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu deeply moved.
Regardless of having three Saints before him, the power of a Saint is extraordinary.
Otherwise, in the Primordial World, there wouldn't be the saying "Below a Saint, all are ants."
Being able to reverse and defeat a Saint is unimaginable even in the Primordial World.
However, Tongtian Sect Leader's promise was incredibly credible!
If it's really achievable, even just adding an extra Saint's combat power, the so-called local advantage would be negligible.
"I'm fine with that," he was the first to express his stance.
As an Association member in the main battlefield world, High-Level Martial Artist Shen Yu's stance was undoubtedly the most significant.
