The news of the invasion of the Heavenly Court and Star Dou Great Forest by the Abyss Plane quickly made it to the newspapers and became widely known.
The people were filled with anxiety, worried about whether the Heavenly Court and the Soul Beasts could defend themselves, and whether they would suffer the same fate as those who faced the Abyss in the early days of the Sun Moon Empire, their bodies never to be found.
The panic soon subsided, and there was no widespread fear as expected, because people found that life was no different from before; the war between the Heavenly Court and the Star Dou Great Forest had not affected them at all.
In reality, there is no such thing as a peaceful life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you.
Thus, the peace of the continent was broken again half a year later.
On this day, another Abyss passage descended, its location being Star Luo City.
Because of its proximity to the imperial palace, the Star Luo Empire quickly organized manpower to resist the Abyss Plane, and there were not too many casualties.
But this also awakened the crisis in the hearts of the people once again; the Abyss had not disappeared, but had instead intensified.
More and more negative news began to spread, the most widespread being doomsday theories. Some wealthy businessmen, hoping to find refuge under the protection of a powerful empire, flocked to Luocang City.
At least for now, the Heavenly Court remained stable, with Huo Yuhao in charge, making it relatively the safest place.
In Xingluo City, within the dark abyss passages, countless abyssal creatures fearlessly charged out, surging in all directions, attempting to tear a gap in the encirclement.
On the human side, soldiers continued their relentless attacks, daring not to slacken in the slightest.
The Mighty Douluo, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, and several other Guardian Douluos were also on the sidelines, checking for any weaknesses.
On the outer perimeter, a large number of people were busily constructing defensive fortifications, and high metal walls were already visible.
In the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study, Xu Jiawei was surrounded by a mountain of memorials. Due to the abyss situation, many state affairs had piled up, forcing him to work overtime these days, which was quite arduous.
After finishing his work at the imperial desk, Xu Jiawei's previously worried expression eased slightly. The Star Luo Empire's plea for help had been answered; both the Heavenly Court and the Sun Moon Empire had agreed to provide a batch of soul tools.
The arrival of these soul tools would alleviate their immediate crisis.
Xu Jiawei began to consider that resisting the Abyss's invasion required a continuous drain on resources, which was ultimately unsustainable.
Moreover, the Abyss creatures were impossible to truly kill, meaning all their efforts were in vain.
He didn't know the situation with the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but it seemed the Heavenly Court had found a way to deal with the Abyss creatures.
Thinking this, Xu Jiawei wrote furiously. Soon after, the letter was sent to the Sun Moon Empire.
At Haotian Fortress, the Grand Elder found Niu Tian and said, "Sect Master, Tianhun, Douling, and the Star Luo Kingdoms sent messages today."
"Oh, so Tianhun and Douling can't sit still either?" Niu Tian wasn't particularly surprised. Seeing the Abyss invasion spreading in all directions, these weaklings were naturally panicked!
"What did they say?"
the Grand Elder asked. "They mean to unite and develop a feasible plan to deal with the Abyss. And it's not just us; the Heavenly Court should have received the news as well."
Niu Tian fell into deep thought. With him and Titan in charge of the Haotian Sect, the Abyss wouldn't be able to cause any trouble for the time being.
But, as the saying goes, this wasn't a long-term solution.
On the other side, Tang Ritian made a firm decision and said to the woman beside him, "No, I can't stay out of this anymore."
The woman beside him, Ah Yin, frowned. "Isn't it a bit too early? Didn't you plan to..."
"No, that guy wants to monopolize the Abyss. If it really comes to that, even I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything to him."
Tang Ritian's face was grim. Originally, he planned to stab Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena in the back when they fought the Abyss, and reap the benefits.
At that time, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's efforts would all be paving the way for the Tang family's dominance of the Douluo Continent.
Even if Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena didn't launch a counterattack on the Abyss Plane, he wouldn't suffer any losses. Once the God Realm returned, his dutiful son would kill that clown.
However, things developed beyond his expectations. The Abyss Plane actually had the ability to open a dimensional portal.
Huo Yuhao not only escaped unscathed, but also used this opportunity to fleece the Abyss Plane, using its energy to strengthen the Bright Realm.
Tang Ritian no longer dared to spy on Huo Yuhao as before, but he could guess that the guy's cultivation was slowly increasing.
He could even guess Huo Yuhao's plan: unless the Abyss stopped supplying him with resources, Huo Yuhao would continue to fleece him until he had enough confidence to defeat the Abyss Plane before considering a counterattack. He
seemed to be sitting back and fishing.
"This guy is too cunning," Tang Hao cursed inwardly.
In Tang Hao's original plan, Douluo would defeat the Abyss, then the Douluo plane would devour the Abyss plane, and the plane's energy would increase.
At that time, he, as the plane's master, would also benefit.
But now, this greedy guy, Huo Yuhao, was actually thinking of monopolizing the Abyss. This was intolerable.
Damn it, if you devour it, what am I supposed to devour!
Thus, Tang Hao, with the idea of defeating the landlord, made his first appearance and descended upon the Clear Sky Sect.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of the Clear Sky Sect, muttering, "Rat, are you not planning to hide anymore?"
Huo Yuhao also discovered Tang Ritian. This time, the latter didn't hide himself at all, as if he was telling everyone that he, Tang Ritian, had arrived.
"Want a share of the pie? Interesting, getting more and more interesting."
Compared to before, Huo Yuhao was now as steady as a rock. Through plundering the Abyss, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the second-level god.
The increase in strength gave him more confidence. Give him another year or two, and he was confident that he could break through the shackles and take a crucial step.
However, he couldn't wait any longer. The Abyss Plane wasn't going to give away experience points for free.
Huo Yuhao had already discovered that the number of Abyss creatures appearing in the Abyss Passage on the Heavenly Court's side had decreased significantly. The same was true in the Star Dou Great Forest.
This also meant that if they wanted to continue exploiting others, they would have to take the initiative to attack.
"Greetings, Father of the Sea God."
Inside the Haotian Sect, Niu Tian and Titan both knelt down at Tang Ritian's feet.
Niu Tian's expression was strange. He didn't know how to address the person in front of him. After all, calling him Haotian Douluo was already somewhat inappropriate, and calling him by his name was impolite.
Father of the Sea God sounded very prestigious, and besides, this was the father of the Sea God, so what?
Tang Ritian's face was flushed, and he was very pleased. Tang San, my son, so what if you are the Sea God, so what if you are the God King? I only know that I am your father.
Your father will always be your father.
