Chapter 125: The War Begins!
"Fight to the death!"
Across the four-thousand-mile Great Wall, fifty million warriors let out a thunderous roar.
Are they afraid?
Of course they are afraid!
That is a god!
A god descending from the heavens!
But behind them lies the land of Great Xia!
Behind them are their families, their friends!
They cannot retreat!
They refuse to see Great Xia swallowed by the vast ocean; they refuse to see their loved ones drowned by the tides; they refuse to see their friends torn apart by sea beasts!
They cannot retreat!
"Invade Great Xia, and even if you are a god, we will kill you to prove it!"
"Fight for Great Xia!"
"Damn it, if that god takes a single step into Great Xia today, I'll twist its head off!"
These men, their eyes bloodshot, let out roars of fury.
Watching these men, born as sons of Great Xia, Lin Fan’s eyes grew moist.
"Everyone," Lin Fan shouted, "Whether we live or die today, remember this: I, Lin Fan, am honored to have stood by your side as a comrade-in-arms in this life!"
"If I fall, I only pray to fight alongside you again in the next life, to return to Great Xia, and I would have no regrets!"
He bowed.
Lin Fan bowed deeply to the countless warriors.
Fifty million soldiers bowed in unison!
"It is an honor to fight alongside you!"
"No regrets in this life for being part of Great Xia; in the next life, we shall be people of Great Xia once more!"
Straightening up after their bows, they looked toward the towering, monstrous waves now clearly visible. Fear was gone; only the will to fight remained!
When the gods descend, when divine power crushes down, and when Great Xia is behind them—
Then.
Let us fight!
"Attention! The god is within ten kilometers of the Great Wall!"
"Attention! Tide height has reached eighty meters! Level one alert!"
"Attention, the god has temporarily stopped moving, proceed with caution!"
Elder Chen’s voice crackled through the earpiece.
But to Lin Fan’s surprise, the god did not charge forward immediately.
The blue-haired woman, standing proudly atop the waves, looked expressionlessly at the land before her.
There, unexpectedly, stood a massive, endless wall?
Is that the masterpiece of those feeble humans?
They actually hope to rely on such a wall—one that would crumble at a touch—to protect themselves?
"What truly weak humans."
Seeing those ant-like humans standing on the wall, filled with battle intent and gripping strange weapons, she smiled.
Looking at them, she could sense the scent of fear radiating from these ants.
It was a fear that could not be suppressed, no matter how hard they tried.
Just like ants facing a giant whale.
This was the crushing pressure of the hierarchy of life.
"Fifty billion square kilometers, seven billion potential believers..." Her smile deepened.
Heaven knows what a massive sensation this plane would cause in the Divine Realm!
She was merely a Third-Tier low-level Sea God of the Ocean Temple, and her divine domain was only one million square kilometers.
She possessed barely two hundred thousand believers.
This plane before her, although inhabited by the weakest of intelligent races—humans—possessed a terrifying population!
One must know that in the Divine Realm, even for a Fifteenth-Tier high-level god, having a divine domain of one billion square kilometers is considered good, and having over a hundred million believers is considered extremely powerful!
And this plane before her... it was simply a fat sheep!
If she could conquer this plane, she, a Third-Tier low-level god, wouldn't just leap to become a Fifteenth-Tier high-level god—she might even replace Poseidon and become the new main god of the Ocean Temple!
The descending god greedily surveyed the land before her.
But at this moment, those ants on the wall roared in unison.
"Great Xia lies ahead; no gods may pass!"
The voices of these fifty million warriors merged, spanning the thirty kilometers of sea and crashing toward her!
A wind blew from that land.
Ancient, weathered, powerful.
She frowned as she looked at these ants, her smile deepening.
Great Xia?
Heh.
She opened her mouth slowly, wrapping her voice in divine power, and her melodic words echoed through the heavens, syllable by syllable: "Was it you who spoke to me before?"
Lin Fan looked up, gazing far out at the god standing proudly upon the sea, supported by the waves. He held his radio and shouted, "Please stop your advance. If you come with good intentions, please remain where you are, and we will continue to communicate with you."
"If you advance any further, we will consider it an act of war."
"We know you are powerful, but Great Xia is prepared to fight. We are prepared to fight until we die!"
The loudspeakers along the four-thousand-mile wall vibrated in unison, Lin Fan’s voice echoing across the sea.
She looked with cold indifference at the ant who dared to attempt to converse with her.
Lin Fan, the fifty million soldiers, and all of Great Xia waited for her answer.
"Kneel."
The word that echoed through the heavens was still the same!
Still those two words!
Kneel!
Lin Fan’s smile grew grim.
"The people of Great Xia can do many things, but one thing we will never do is kneel!"
"Swish!"
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was unsheathed in an instant, and Lin Fan carved a shallow mark into the wall beneath his feet.
"Since you won't listen to reason."
"Then I'll put it simply."
"If you have the ability, come and see if you can cross this line, god!"
He raised his blade!
Pointing directly at the Sea God standing proudly upon the sea!
The god looked on in astonishment at these ants who dared to defy her, to disobey her, and to blaspheme against a god.
"Heh."
"You are blaspheming."
"Those who blaspheme against gods shall eventually fall into the abyss."
The sea breeze began to grow violent.
The once calm sea began to boil at this moment!
She spread her arms, a brilliant azure light radiating from her, her water-blue gown dancing wildly in the sea breeze.
"Do you truly understand the power of a god?"
"Prepare to suffer the punishment of the gods!"
She shouted!
Her voice, imbued with divine power, echoed through the heavens like rolling thunder!
The god would punish those lives who dared to disrespect her, who dared to blaspheme against her!
The world suddenly turned pitch black at this moment, and the holy azure light upon her seemed to be the only light in existence.
Behind her, space shattered.
A plane, spanning a full million square kilometers, appeared behind her as if boundless.
That was her divine domain!
A Third-Tier divine domain, a full million square kilometers!
And as the Sea God, her domain was an endless, vast ocean!
"Crush them! Crush the land beneath their feet!"
"Swallow this plane!"
She pointed a finger.
The ocean roared and crashed down upon the land of Great Xia, space shattering inch by inch. Everything the sea touched was swallowed, becoming part of her divine domain.
This was the crushing of planes, the swallowing of an independent world by a divine domain!
From the very beginning, this god had never considered these ant-like humans as rivals; she hadn't even had the interest to act personally.
She had simply attempted to use her divine domain to swallow this land, making this plane a part of her own domain.
