Chapter 772
The Barrier's Authority
The battlefield of gods and demons at the gap, worth hundreds of billions, has never stopped since it began.
The human race's trillion-strong army has changed generation after generation, but Xu Qiangjia has always been the one commanding the breach.
Billions of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and in these years, the human race has begun to expand outwards.
Meanwhile, in other regions, those star fields that had once been devoured by gods and demons began to gradually recover to their complete state, and the leaders of the various races within those star fields also began to recover.
While Xu Chen was traveling through various star regions of the human race with the two women, he often received messages from the leaders of various races who wanted to pay him a visit.
Xu Chen avoided meeting any of these racial leaders, finding it troublesome, and told them to focus on their development. He would summon them all together once the former racial leaders had fully recovered.
In the Dream Realm of the Human Race, Xu Chen and two women were playing an extremely childish children's game.
Xu Chen and the two women also transformed into chibi-style characters and roamed freely in the game.
Xu Chen, wielding a cartoon sword, and Yang Ling'er, holding a cartoon knife and shield, charged to the front to fight the other players, while Su Yueyao hid behind them and waited for an opportunity to cast a spell.
In this game, no matter how high your level of cultivation, you will be limited to the level of mortal thinking.
With equal combat power and physical strength, becoming a master in this game depends on two things: luck and combat skill.
Xu Chen's combat skills are undeniable, but unfortunately, he is sometimes unlucky and is often kicked out of the game by other opponents using instant-death spells.
Xu Chen really enjoys this uncertainty and often plays the game with the two girls to satisfy his childlike heart.
After a battle, the three who had joined forces failed and appeared in the clouds outside the battlefield.
"Husband, we've had some bad luck this time. Why did the enemy's instant-death spells succeed one after another, but fail on us?" Su Yueyao couldn't help but ask.
"In games, luck is something elusive. When I was playing, I specifically told Mengdaojie not to cheat for me, and I didn't expect that she really wouldn't."
"It's interesting. Winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as I'm happy."
Just then, Xu Chen suddenly looked up and saw an ordinary seabird flying above the game.
Xu Chen frowned slightly and pulled the bird in front of him.
"Senior Wanhuan, please don't come to my human race's Dream Realm anymore. Every time you appear, the spirit of my human race's Dream Realm goes mad." Xu Chen looked at the flying bird and couldn't help but say.
"Cuckoo~"
The seabird looked at Xu Chen, nodded, spread its wings, and disappeared into the void.
"Husband, with your current level of cultivation, does that mean you won't need to cultivate anymore?" Yang Ling'er suddenly asked.
"Under normal circumstances, you don't need to cultivate anymore, but if you want to break through the upper limit of this chaotic realm, you still need to cultivate."
The reason Xu Chen accompanied the two women on their journey through the various star fields of the human race was actually to wait for the nine Chaos Gods outside the barrier to finally stop.
Wait for the two strongest Chaos Gods to break in.
Only in this way can Xu Chen unleash his strongest combat power, bite off a piece of flesh from the two Chaos Gods, and increase the total number of Great Dao authority he controls.
The current situation is that there is this barrier, but also a gap that limits the Chaos God.
The nine Chaos Gods dared not enter, and Xu Chen could not leave either.
Xu Chen's clone left outside the barrier has already found many chaotic regions with incomplete Dao. Xu Chen is just waiting to become stronger so that he can take a piece of flesh from the nine Chaos Gods, make an example of them, and then go out to repair those chaotic regions with incomplete Dao.
Xu Chen hadn't expected the nine Chaos Gods to be so patient, waiting for a hundred billion years without making a move. Helpless, Xu Chen could only travel around the human territory to make up for the years of hard work.
In the blink of an eye, trillions of years have passed.
Those star fields and their inhabitants that were once swallowed up have now been fully revived.
The leaders of those races have also recovered to their peak condition.
In order to summon the leaders of these races, Xu Chen specially commissioned Da Xu to forge a supreme divine temple of all races, a treasure of the Xuanhuang level.
On the temple, Xu Chen looked down at the millions of race leaders below.
"Everyone, before our human race came to an end, it was you who protected this chaotic star field."
"Now that the barrier is complete, it isolates the nine Chaos Gods outside the barrier, leaving only a gap to connect the entire Chaos."
"To plug this gap, we only need an army of hundreds of billions. In the future, our human race will plug this gap, and you can all develop your races in this chaos."
After Xu Chen finished speaking, he looked down at the leaders of the various races.
The scene of shouting for peace that Xu Chen had imagined did not appear. Upon hearing that the only breach was guarded by the human race, the leaders of the various races couldn't help but frown.
Before long, several of the strongest race leaders among them stepped forward.
"Even in peace, we must not forget the dangers outside. The chaos here is limited. Although it has not yet developed to a perfect state, it will eventually develop in such a peaceful environment."
“We don’t want to develop in this greenhouse. The battles of the past years are etched into our bones.”
"Even if it means sacrifice, destruction, or paying a heavy price, we are willing to fight for our land of survival." After the leaders of the major races finished speaking, they cautiously watched Xu Chen's reaction.
"Go on, what do you want? Is it because you think the human race occupies too much of this 20% of the Chaos Territory?" Xu Chen asked quietly.
"No, of course not. Even if we occupy all of the chaos and are annihilated in this time, we would have no regrets."
"But please, God, give us a chance to go out and fight against the gods and demons, to fight for our own space to live."
After the leading race leaders finished speaking, flames ignited in the eyes of all the race leaders in the hall. Of the millions of races, not one was willing to develop in such a peaceful environment.
"You want to fight your way out, to fight your way out in front of the nine Chaos Gods?" Xu Chen was somewhat confused by these race leaders.
“We want to break through the gap and then build our home outside the barrier.”
"But it's unclear what price must be paid to expand this barrier."
"You want to expand the barrier, you want the authority to mobilize the barrier to expand, and you're willing to pay any price for it." Xu Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully.
He used the authority of the Great Dao to create this barrier surrounding the Chaos Starfield, leaving room for expansion. With his power, he could actually expand it outward by another ten percent, but after expanding, he would face even greater pressure, and the gap would become even larger.
However, if the corresponding price is paid to slightly weaken the protective power of the barrier, it can expand to a larger area. But the price is that the malice of the nine Chaos Gods can seep in through the weakened barrier.
However, most race leaders are confident they can withstand this trace of malice from the nine Chaos Gods. If they also have the corresponding protective Xuanhuang Treasures, the malice from the nine Chaos Gods can be reduced to a very minor degree.
"Expansion is not out of the question."
Xu Chen's words ignited the fighting spirit of all the race leaders.
"However, the price you will have to pay is very high."
"We are willing to bear any cost!" the many race leaders declared fervently.
“Block it. The barrier of the nine Chaos Gods can be extended, but although the extended barrier can block the nine Chaos Gods, it can only block 99% of their malice.”
“The remaining malice, the remaining malice, someone needs to bear it, just like the Lord of Myriad Illusions who bore the malice of the nine Chaos Gods.” Xu Chen’s gaze swept over the many race leaders. “Will they die?” one of the race leaders, whose expression was fanatical, asked.
No~
"Let's do it!"
The leaders of many races couldn't help but revel.
At this moment, the high-ranking members of the human race who were also attending the meeting exchanged glances and made a decision in their hearts.
"So be it~" Xu Chen waved his hand and released millions of golden rays, which entered the main bodies of these races, giving them the authority to extend the size of the barrier, but it could not be extended further once it reached a certain extent.
"Go ahead, you're given the authority. How things develop in the future is up to you."
Xu Chen waved his hand, dismissing the meeting.
The lords of numerous races transformed into streaks of spiritual light and dissipated within the Supreme Temple of All Races.
"Lord God, the human race cannot be content to lag behind. We also want to fight our way out and prove ourselves." Many high-ranking human experts bowed to Xu Chen.
"Such a large area, isn't it enough for you to develop?" Xu Chen understood the genes and beliefs that were ingrained in the human race.
"The land we already possess is not as valuable as expanding our territory; if we remain complacent and do not consider the dangers ahead, we will perish." - The Second Emperor's Way.
"In that case, you will also be granted the authority, so that the human race's powerful members will not forget the dangers outside if they stay in this peaceful haven for too long."
Several more streams of spiritual light flowed into the bodies of the high-ranking human beings.
The high-ranking human warriors departed with satisfaction.
"Senior Wanhuan, please show yourself outside," Xu Chen said, looking at the empty temple.
A butterfly fluttered its wings and landed on the armrest of Xu Chen's seat, transforming into a raccoon dog.
Meow~~
“The credentials are fine. Even if there’s a weak point, the nine Chaos Gods working together couldn’t break through.” Xu Chen gave the raccoon a reassuring look.
"Meow meow meow~" The raccoon looked up at Xu Chen and meowed again.
"You mean the nine Chaos Gods are extremely cautious and wouldn't possibly enter this gap?" Xu Chen stroked his chin, his eyes flashing.
"Is there any way to lure them in, or to use something they can't resist, like the power of the Great Dao, to lead the two Chaos Gods into the gap?" Xu Chen looked outside the temple and landed on the gap in the battlefield between gods and demons.
"Meow meow~"
"I've tried using my two apprentices as bait in the battlefield, but it didn't work," Xu Chen shook his head.
"Meow meow meow~"
"Let me take two disciples and let them die a few more times on the battlefield, so that my authority over the Great Dao can spread."
"That's one way, but it's a pity for my two disciples." Xu Chen said, calling his two disciples over.
Xu Qianshan and Xu Guiheng excitedly entered the temple.
The two have now reached the peak of the sixth realm, and are only one step away from fully comprehending the Great Dao authority within their bodies.
"You two need to act as bait and die several times in the Gap God-Demon Battlefield to dissipate the power of the Great Dao within your bodies," Xu Chen said, getting straight to the point.
"Master, is this enough to provoke the nine Chaos Gods to take action?" Xu Qianshan asked.
“However, simple enticement is not enough, so one of you needs to completely surrender the authority of the Great Dao so that one of the nine Chaos Gods can benefit.”
"When you release your Great Dao authority a second time, it will surely attract the attention of the nine Chaos Gods."
"As long as we lure them over, I'm sure I can take a piece of flesh from them," Xu Chen said with a deep gaze.
"I'll go first!" Xu Qianshan and Xu Guiheng both said at the same time.
"Don't fight over it. Qianshan is first, Guiheng is second. Go back and prepare a reasonable script that even the nine Chaos Gods can't find fault with." Xu Chen waved his hand, dismissing his two disciples.
"Meow~~" the tabby cat looked up and meowed again.
"The nine Chaos Gods are greedy and lustful. As long as we have the resources and the situation is handled properly, we are not afraid that the nine Chaos Gods will not intervene."
Xu Chen's current control over the Great Dao requires maintaining a barrier, and he cannot use even a fraction of it as bait. Otherwise, he would have already set aside some to lure people into the battlefield of gods and demons.
The tabby cat nodded, then transformed into a butterfly and flew out of the temple.
Xu Chen also left the temple and continued to travel around the various star regions of the human race with the two women.
At this moment, the entire Chaos Starfield launched a major expansion plan. All the powerful race leaders, leading their respective armies, rushed to the border of the Chaos Starfield and began to slowly expand their race's living area using the barrier permissions given to them by Xu Chen.
As one small bulge after another rose from the enormous barrier, the countless gods and demons waiting outside seemed to have found their target and surged madly toward those small bulges.
Inside a small drum, a race leader at the peak of the sixth realm, who controlled the power of the Great Dao, led his trillions of troops and watched as the gods and demons poured in from the exit. He was so excited that his whole body trembled.
"That's the feeling, that's the spirit of battle!"
"What's the point of developing in a comfortable nest? Cultivating the Great Dao is all for the sake of fighting!"
"rush!"
The race's leader, in a frenzy, led his people to charge at the surging gods and demons.
This scene unfolded amidst the tiny drums on millions of barriers.
When these races fight, it's like a long-awaited rain after a drought, or a raging fire meeting dry tinder.
At this moment, the malice of the nine Chaos Gods also began to infiltrate these small bulges.
However, thanks to Xu Chen's previous instructions, they had prepared defensive Xuanhuang treasures in advance to reduce the malice of the nine Chaos Gods.
Xu Qianshan and Xu Guiheng joined the battle on the battlefield between gods and demons, which was guarded by the human race.
Although it was a battle, it was more like experiencing the battlefield. Everywhere they went, they were protected by the strongest human warriors, who were afraid of being touched or brushed by gods and demons.
The nine Chaos Gods outside the barrier quickly noticed this scene.
“I sensed a conspiracy; they were trying to lure us in.”
“A clumsy trick~” A calculating glint flashed in the eyes of Treachery King, one of the nine Chaos Gods.
"Anyone can see that, why do you need to tell me?" Dark Saint King sneered.
Of the nine Chaos Gods, the one who hates humanity the most is the Dark Saint King. (End of Chapter)
