Chapter 347: Chapter 64: Evil God Invasion? Why Not Counterattack the Void Directly

"A 40-year-old divorcée with two kids!"

"What are you getting at?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The Lord Player named "U there? Lend me some Dragon Gate Coins" saw the reply and instantly dropped his probing tone. His voice was filled with the awkwardness of trying to smooth things over:

"Oh... never mind, never mind. You keep getting stronger, ma’am. I was just asking!"

The Lord Player named "The Security Guard Just Wants to Get Off Work" said in disbelief:

"Holy shit?"

"Is she really that... mature?"

"I always thought she was eighteen at most!"

A few more messages popped up in the channel. Several people chimed in, all with similar opinions. They all agreed that Meng Mengyue seemed young—otherwise, why would she have such a soft, cutesy voice that made her sound so young?

Seeing this, a familiar veteran player, Ya Chongtian, immediately started joking around in the channel, his laughter filled with mischievous glee:

"Hahaha!"

"You guys actually believed that?"

"Meng Mengyue is actually only 20. She was just messing with you!"

"And!"

"I’ve seen her in real life!"

"She’s gorgeous!"

"Like, influencer-model level!"

The moment he said that, Meng Mengyue’s reply popped up, full of playful indignation. Even her emoji looked a little pouty:

"So mean! Ya Chongtian! Why’d you have to expose me like that?"

"It was so much fun teasing them~"

"[○･｀Д´･○]"

Their playful exchange instantly livened up the channel. Many people joined the casual chat, trading jokes back and forth, turning Meng Mengyue into the "center of attention."

Whether they were complimenting her soft voice or laughing at her clever attempt to act mature, almost every conversation revolved around her. It was very lively.

Even a top-tier powerhouse like mad madam found it hard to get a word in. The channel was completely dominated by chatter about Meng Mengyue, so she didn’t bother joining in. She just lurked with her own people from the Hafke Alliance, quietly watching everyone banter.

Afterward, the lively atmosphere in the channel continued to grow.

Until a certain name appeared, instantly silencing half the uproar.

Tingfeng: "Everyone!"

"I’m about to post a poll in the regional channel about our strategy for the ’Evil God Invasion’ event!"

"Once you see it!"

"Just vote based on your own situation and opinions."

"I will adjust our response plan for the second phase of the Evil God disaster based on your thoughts and needs."

[System Prompt: Player "Tingfeng" has used his "Heaven’s Chosen Ruler" authority to initiate a channel-wide poll!]

[Poll Topic: "Evil God Invasion" Event Tactical Choice]

[Option 1 (Conventional Defense): Maintain daily defense of your own territory and surrounding areas, fortifying the defensive lines. When the Blood Moon night arrives and a large-scale Void Tide strikes, dispatch main forces to support heavily affected areas and fight the enemy together.]

[Option 2 (Active Counterattack): Join Tingfeng’s Holy Empire army to directly break through the Void Gate’s defenses, push deep into the Void’s home ground, seal the gate, and completely annihilate the Void Creatures in their heartland.]

The moment the poll filled the screen, the channel was flooded with astonished question marks and exclamation points.

"????????"

"Holy shit!?"

"Isn’t this strategy a little too crazy!?"

"Lead us on a counterattack directly into the Void!? What is Lord Tingfeng thinking!?"

"Hold on! The Void is their home turf! I remember Void Monsters get extra Attribute bonuses there! Can we actually win if we just charge straight in!?"

Someone couldn’t help but raise their voice, their tone dripping with incredulous rebuttal:

"It’s more than just crazy!"

"Right now, we’re fighting defensively. The Void Creatures come in waves. No matter how many there are, the waves eventually end!"

"As long as we clear a wave, we have a chance to breathe before the next respawn. We can use that time to restock resources and repair our defenses!"

"But if we actually join the counterattack and enter the Void Realm, the Void Tide there is basically Endless! We won’t even have a moment to catch our breath while fighting. How is that any different from a suicide mission?"

Seeing the rising tide of doubt in the channel, a message from mad madam suddenly appeared, silencing the screen-wide debate with a single sentence:

"I don’t see a problem."

mad madam’s messages appeared one after another, clearly laying out the key information and instantly capturing everyone’s attention:

"Lord Tingfeng’s ’Heaven’s Chosen Ruler’ title alone stacks a 500% Extra Life Value bonus on all of us."

"On top of that."

She paused deliberately, and her next addition was even more surprising:

"Lord Tingfeng was the first Lord Player to unlock ’Heaven’s Chosen Ruler,’ so he also received a chance to enhance a ’Destiny Origin Skill.’"

"According to him."

"Right now, even though his ’War Blessing’ skill is still in its first phase, as long as he activates the Imperial Expedition state, all of us ’Fighting Side by Side’ with him will receive another 250% Full Attribute Bonus, plus a 250% Extra Life Value Bonus."

"If you do the math, on Extra Life Value alone, he can stack a 750% bonus on each of us."

"Not to mention."

"Once the second phase, Extraordinary Two Stars, is officially unlocked."

"Lord Tingfeng’s War Blessing will further increase its base stats and also raise the Extra Life Value granted to us through ’Fighting Side by Side.’"

Finally, her tone shifted, carrying an emphatic, rhetorical question:

"Think about it carefully. With numbers this terrifying, do you really still think it’s a suicide mission?"

"Our current Blood Volume is higher than even the Lord Players in the second phase!"

"And it’s only going to get much, much higher in the future!"

As soon as she said that, the noisy wave of doubt in the channel instantly subsided. Everyone calmed down and thought it over. The more they thought, the more they realized she was right.

As members of the strongest Lord Plane in history, everyone now had layers of Heaven-defying buffs from Tingfeng stacked on them. Whether it was the Lord Players themselves or the Divine Chosen Soldiers under their command, they were long past the level of ordinary Extraordinary beings. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call them "monsters among monsters." How could they die as easily as they’d first thought?

Just as they were thinking this, Oreo chimed in, his tone firm yet reassuring, instantly putting everyone’s minds at ease:

"There’s really no need to be nervous. With our explosive combat power right now, counterattacking the Void Realm is absolutely no problem."

He paused, then added some solid facts to back up his claim:

"Besides, the difficulty of the second phase of the ’Evil God Invasion’ was set based on the level of regular Extraordinary Two Stars players."

"It’s not like there aren’t precedents in history."

"Just from what I know, quite a few well-coordinated groups of Lord Players have successfully broken into the Void Realm—though in the end, none of them managed to conquer it or even last for very long."

"But at the very least, it proves that the Void Realm can be challenged."

"It’s not some unbeatable, Invincible point."

"And even if we do run into unexpected trouble and can’t defeat the infinite number of Void Creatures inside, there’s no need to be afraid."

"Because not only do we have Lord Tingfeng’s ridiculously strong Holy Empire soldiers as a safety net, we also have this explosive, Heaven-defying Blood Bar with its insane margin for error as a guarantee."

"When the time comes, we can just figure out a way to hold back the swarming Void Creatures and then pull the main army straight out of the Void Realm."

"We definitely won’t lose too many Divine Chosen Soldiers and Divine Chosen Heroes."

As he spoke, Oreo’s tone shifted, becoming more rousing, and the atmosphere in the channel lifted along with it:

"On the other hand!"

"If we can actually follow Lord Tingfeng and conquer the Void Realm!"

"Then our title as the ’Strongest Lord Plane in History’ will have another unprecedented feat to its name! News of this would make players from other Planes die of envy!"

"Tell me, wouldn’t that be awesome!?"
