Chapter 649: Unstoppable

Year 6095 on the Xia calendar, Ying Continent

The terrain of Ying Continent is long from north to south and short from east to west. In the central part, there is a mountain range running from east to west, called Anlan Mountains. Within the Anlan Mountains, there are numerous fortresses and tunnels, and a defense line stretching thousands of kilometers has been established.

To the south of Anlan Mountains is a vast plain, the heart of Ying Continent. It is now the central region of Ying Continent, where most humans from the north of Anlan Mountains have gathered. The north has become the Wilderness where monsters roam.

"Senior Brother Zheng"

A person flew in with a sword from the north, and several people in the Anlan Mountains flew up to greet him.

"Senior Brother Zheng, how is the North?"

"Most of the human race has been wiped out, everywhere is filled with monsters. We haven’t found any third-level monsters yet, but second-level monsters are everywhere."

"Oh, with our abilities, we still can’t resist the rise of the monster race. It’s frustrating."

One of them sighed, they are the remaining disciples of the Wangxian Sect. They escaped from a cruise ship many years ago and returned to the Ying Continent where they had been living for years. Although they have been targeted a few times, nothing serious happened. Eventually, Lin Jiang gave up on assassinations.

With the rise of the monster race and the recovery of spiritual energy, they were prepared, they recruited disciples and developed technology. But due to their weak foundation, it was still too slow to stop the rise of the monster race. Now, Ying Continent has already lost half of its territory.

"Brothers, don’t lose hope. Even in the era of cultivation, we humans have never conquered the monster race. It’s normal. Now we have half of Ying Continent under our control, it’s better than the old days of Wangxian Sect."

"Senior Brother Zheng is right. We can’t give up easily. With such a good situation, how can we sit idly by?"

"Now we have a lot of treasures in our hands, just waiting for the spiritual energy to fully recover. Our cultivation will surely reach new heights."

Several of them comforted each other, feeling like the revival of spiritual energy was like the beginning of chaos. They also had a lot of precious resources in their hands. Once the spiritual energy fully recovered, they would definitely advance in their cultivation.

"Have those mortal kingdoms agreed to merge?"

"Those who disagreed are already dead."

"That’s good. Let’s rebuild the Wangxian Sect and learn from Huaxia. We will integrate the Wangxian Sect with the mortal kingdoms, making it the national religion. All cultivators will become disciples of our Wangxian Sect."

"This matter is almost finished. Many southern mountains have already cleared out the monsters, so there won’t be any more appearing. But the influence of Huaxia is too strong. They plunder a large amount of resources every day. It’s truly hateful."

Someone said that the Ying Continent used to have many countries, but some were destroyed and others were forced to merge, leaving behind one big country with over a billion people.

But the technological strength of this large country is not strong, at most equivalent to the level of Huaxia Federation fifty or sixty years ago, especially in terms of weapons, it cannot even launch satellites on its own, let alone space exploration.

So they were being controlled by Huaxia in many areas like military chips and engines, having to trade valuable resources for their products and always ending up at a loss in the deals.

"Humans’ technology, oh!"

Senior Brother Zheng was also helpless. Humans focus more on accumulating in their technology. Many things cannot surpass others in just a few decades. Moreover, to surpass them, one has to do many things they are unwilling to do, such as promoting education. These all require a huge amount of resources. However, they want to take away a lot of resources to support themselves, which is contradictory to their principles.

"Brother Zheng, once the demonic beast reaches the fourth rank and can transform, the demon clan will truly step onto the stage. The Demon King and Demon Emperor will also appear at that time. We need to prepare as soon as possible."

"Yes, Brother Zheng, the other senior brothers are already too old to fight. It’s only a few of us who can. Even if we are strong, it won’t be enough. We must prepare in advance."

"Did Zhou Liao’s side find Grand Elder and the others?"

Brother Zheng said that out of the sixteen awakened people, five were killed by Lin Jiang, three are already old and weak, with depleted energy. They can only barely hang on. Only the eight of them still have lifespan left, making their strength very weak.

"Still no news."

They shook their heads. Zhou Bang’s power was completely uprooted, and they are too weak compared to Zhou Liao. They couldn’t even find Li Qing and didn’t know how many people from Li Qing’s side are still in slumber.

"Brother Zheng, we must train disciples. There are many mischievous level disciples now."

"I know, let’s quickly recruit these people and train them with all our might."

Brother Zheng also mentioned that they have discovered many talented disciples. However, they won’t train them for nothing. The males would become their disciples, adopted sons, or sons-in-law. The females would either become their women or the women of their offspring. Even if they are geniuses, they won’t receive training unless they become one of them.

Haigang City

In the mansion villa, on the wall of Lin Jiang’s office, a world map was projected, showing the distribution of various powers in different colors.

"But the demon race is really thriving. While the sleeping demons have not yet awakened, they already occupy thirty percent of the world’s land. In the western part of Shenzhou, Fangzheng, Ying Continent, and Penglai, there are large areas of demon territories, not to mention the oceans."

Cao Ying looked at the map and sighed. Apart from the eastern region of Shenzhou, demon power is already strong in other places, with a trend of continuous expansion. Human forces either get wiped out or expelled.

"A targeted clearance plan won’t work. Such a vast area, even with more missiles, it won’t be enough."

Lin Jiang said that not long ago, the Huaxia Official sent him a plan to collaborate with the top ten countries in the world to launch a targeted clearance plan, using missiles far beyond to bombard areas where demons gather.

However, Lin Jiang felt that many people overestimated the effectiveness of missiles. How many missiles would it take to cover such a huge area just once, and even if they do, it won’t be effective.

"I don’t agree with this plan either. Demons are not always enemies of humans. Only demons in areas bordering humans are true enemies. In the end, everyone is striving for longevity and becoming immortal."

"The strife between different races runs deep in people’s hearts, a legacy left from the conflict between Demons and Humans."

"You can control them."

"Yes, but it’s not necessary. Let them bombard if they want to. It won’t cost us much resources. They will give up soon anyway. I am only worried about two places now."

"The ocean and Zhou Liao."

Cao Ying explained, and Lin Jiang nodded.

The ocean is very important. Although Huaxia is rich in resources, they have no complaints about having too many resources. They have sent a large number of troops to establish military bases around the world to plunder resources from there.

Getting the resources back after obtaining them is a challenge. The cost of air transportation is still too high. Sea transportation is the cheapest, but the sea is even more dangerous with the presence of the demon race.

The second place is the eastern region of Zhou Liao, which used to be the core area of the demon race. The Demon God Temple is located there. Lin Jiang suspects that the dormant Demon Kings and Demon Emperors of the demon race are in that area. Once they awaken, both sides will inevitably engage in direct conflict. There’s no certainty on who will win, but the demon race seems to have a better chance.

"We must increase our efforts to find the whereabouts of the dormant demon race. If we can locate them and eliminate them in advance, otherwise I will not be a match for Demon Emperor Feng Jiu."

"Demon Emperor Feng Jiu may not come back to life, but we must not underestimate the other demons. Demon Queen Lin Fanghua was trained by me, I know how powerful they can be."

"Do you have any other plans? Please tell me."

"Not at the moment. We cannot rely on clever schemes. We need to focus on our own strength. For now, let’s speed up our resource plundering from various places. Once the demons appear, I believe the sea channels will be completely closed."

"A fourth-level Demon King indeed has the power to threaten our current aircraft carriers. Uncle, how about this? While the spiritual energy hasn’t fully recovered to the fourth level yet, I will take some people to the ocean to eliminate some powerful monsters. We need to ensure the safety of several shipping routes and reduce transportation costs."

"Good idea. I will quickly acquire the technology for the storage bag and prepare for full air transportation in the future."

Lin Jiang nodded. The refining technology of the storage bag is very advanced even in the cultivation era, requiring the participation of high-level cultivators and specific ores. We have found some ores, but we cannot refine them yet.

If we can master this technology, it will be a great advantage for Huaxia. At least overseas resources can be easily transported back.

Space exploration will be much smoother then. Spaceships can carry many times more resources than now. Breaking out of the solar system will be much simpler. If we can also perfect the technology of cryosleep, mastering the hibernation chamber technology, traveling to other star systems will no longer be a fantasy but a feasible reality.
