Before the doomsday crisis hit, the competition in the entire underworld seemed intense, yet there were certain unspoken rules.
"The conditions for ascension are too simple, for the strong..."
Survival competition games, lord conquest games, if the winning conditions are too straightforward, just needing to eliminate three weak ones is enough... Too much slaughter is meaningless, aligning with the essence of the world’s craving for military resources.
Having troops above a certain standard is enough, but the continuous recruitment of soldiers is key. Instead of wasting backup forces meaninglessly, it’s better to lower the standards to recruit more soldiers.
As a result, some "big shots of the underworld" who have channels to obtain information from the upper realm are, in fact, a type of passive standers; they have no interest in killing their own kind.
These seasoned ones are the strongest batch in the underworld, the foundation of the entire world. Their abilities and experience far surpass those of the Heavenly Realm deities, and their passiveness is due to their strength.
But now, they’ve also become trapped beasts within the night’s chaos, becoming new sources of war...
"Rescue? The Domineering Three Faces of the Martial God seems to have descended personally, and intends to support?"
The Domineering Three Faces is not only a Proper God but also the Martial God among them, a member of the Martial Fighting Sect through and through.
Having mastered the Fighter Path, It even holds sway over most of the fighting styles on Earth. Lu Ping’an couldn’t imagine how strong It would be after transforming into a combat stance.
It’s precisely because Its Path is too well-suited to the rules of this world that It deliberated repeatedly before investing in this world.
This undoubtedly is an all-in gamble.
If a Proper God truly falls here.... related industries on Earth and the employment population would affect at least hundreds of thousands; the economic loss would be incalculable, and associated Path professionals would face collapse.
But it was also due to the foreseeable vast benefits of this world that It ultimately decided to go all-in...
"Uh, choosing to go all-in with leverage while the stock market is about to collapse?" Lu Ping’an felt a little blank when he heard the news.
"Although your analogy is quite unscrupulous, that’s roughly what it means." Though there was some sympathy in her tone, Chris couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes.
She was probably genuinely happy.
Seeing past counterparts also crash after she did, and hurrying over to seek aid, how could she not be pleased?
"Meow? Isn’t it that after seeing others win a lot, you make a rash all-in bet at the gambling table, then lose to the point of being desperate and calling for help meow?"
Lu Ping’an was silent for a moment; though it seemed the same thing, Meow’s version was clearly more joyful.
"Cat, I remember you went for further studies at the Martial God Church? How did the training go?"
"Meow?! Those muscle heads are not tender at all! Cat’s claws are worn out, and the tail was torn off twice!"
Okay, this is probably a personal grudge.
But Meow was obviously joking, indicating their relationship was quite good; after Lu Ping’an’s rise, as a new member of the Martial Fighting Sect, they maintained good relations, leading to subsequent alliances.
"Of course... but it won’t be of much help."
In this world, even Deity-level beings are not all-powerful.
On the contrary, due to the availability of "Divine Grace" to low-level troops, granting them divine weapons and attacks, with enough number and level, deities can also fall to mortals.
At the same time, deities gain strength through believers, who in turn receive the deity’s "Divine Grace" and "Evolution Privileges," multiplying final combat power several fold.
This is the traditional combat logic of this world. For countless years, the combination of armies and advanced combat power has been the main battle strategy of this world,
Lu Ping’an could make adjustments, but could not reverse this fundamental logic in a short time, so he also focused on supplementing his legion.
The distance between sides is too vast, and mere advanced combat support is meaningless; if Lu Ping’an were foolish enough to abandon his legion and personally join the fray, he might fall on that battlefield.
"They need logistics support; let the Messenger handle this."
"Okay, I’ll inform Hua Xueyi....."
Unexpectedly, in the current circumstances, the most useful high-level combat power has become Hua Xueyi.
With her abilities of flight and cloning, she is the most reliable Messenger in this environment.
Lu Ping’an himself, after transformation, gained a stronger Divine Body, but his undying-nature reduced... even though his "Avatar’s" demise wouldn’t mean a total end, the Courtyard God Kingdom could eventually hatch another Divine Body.
However, the stronger the existence, the "price" becomes expensive, revival time gets longer, and opponents probably wouldn’t spare the time, directly destroying the Courtyard instead.
Currently, the Courtyard anchored in the reality of the universe, to some extent, lost its "invincible trait."
What Meow mentioned about the Martial God Domineering Three Faces also applied to Lu Ping’an.
Gods entering this world, choosing to incarnate as mortals to join the battlefield, do so as all-in gamblers.
Previously, there were considerations about rules and moderation.... now, no one can stop.
Lu Ping’an truly could provide assistance; even if cast into a deep slumber, there were backup plans..... but it’s not worth it.
"If I leave, what happens if my hometown loses my support and gets attacked?"
"As my incomplete-form self enters a casting state on that battlefield.... enemies here may not give a chance for revival."
"Even if all goes well, leaking my combat intelligence in this state is not worthwhile."
Lu Ping’an isn’t alone; regardless of the good conditions offered, he could not abandon his team to take risks.
Some matters, not even brought up by the Martial God Church, are clearly understood.
They primarily seek logistics support.
𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
On one side, weapons, medicine, and various services from the Courtyard.... they intend to send over injured soldiers, hoping for healing.
Also, intelligence support on the battlefield, analysis of major enemies’ "Authorities," and hope for suitable countermeasures from Lu Ping’an.
"Are they in serious trouble?"
"It seems they were too high-profile earlier, got besieged, with at least four True God-level big shots trying to eradicate It..."
Indeed not a battlefield suitable for our side to join.
However, Lu Ping’an increasingly understood the current situation; presumably, residents from the Foreign Domain would face greater pressure, they..... we are inherently outsiders, and in chaotic battles, outsiders are often eliminated first.
This isn’t speculation, as even surrounding neighbors are restlessly stirring.
Lu Ping’an’s "mediation" and participation, while establishing prestige, subtly became a threat.
However, this also turns out to be Lu Ping’an’s deliberate tactic; he wouldn’t allow them to create a warlord behemoth after conquest.
Before now, none of them could match Lu Ping’an’s forces, but once united...
"They... weakling sick cats banding together, the result won’t change."
What’s meant to happen still occurred, as Lu Ping’an previously noted, there was no need to attack actively, one could even pose as the benevolent mediator in their conflict.
".....Here they come, after all."
In front of the Silver Fortress group stands a coalition of various races, and before their attack, Lu Ping’an already acquired their complete intelligence.
