The divine war was approaching, and the Ghost God quickly made a wartime mobilisation.
He dispatched the two apostles, allowing Buluo to sit in the rear, continuing to lead the Funeral Clan to build black tombstones and cultivate ghouls, and causing Hobald to lay down defences in the front, adjusting and relocating the tomb complexes to build a wartime front.
One inside and one outside, one in front and one behind, the two apostles formed a linkage and took care of each other.
The enemy came with a vengeance, but the first few rounds of attacks were crushed by the tomb complex, and the ghouls didn’t even get a chance to strike before the ridiculous bamboo people were burned to ashes.
The Phantom God knew that this was just a test.
After a series of feints, the Bamboo Reed King sent out his real main force, and all kinds of giant bamboo beasts appeared on the horizon, they crossed the border of the bordering country and rushed into the tomb cluster to wreak havoc against the phantom fire.
The Divine War was a war that opened up after the divine kingdoms bordered each other, and the most important bargaining chips for both sides were the faith reserves and population, but the territory itself was also a strategic resource.
It was related to the strength of the rule power behind it.
Generally speaking, the wider and more expansive the divine kingdom, the stronger the rule power was, and the narrower and drier it was, the weaker the rule power was.
The power of rules was a double-edged sword.
Strong rules could better maintain the stability of the divine Kingdom, and the change of epochs would bring diverse changes and expansions, as well as faster elimination of disorders within the world or external interference.
On the other hand, it would bind the various beings within the divine Kingdom, making the world boundaries more solid, and it would be more difficult and strenuous for the gods to transform.
With the acceleration of the sailings of large divine kingdoms, the overhead of the power of faith would be greater.
And when divine kingdoms bordered and overlapped each other, the rule forces of the two worlds would also cross and clash with each other, causing the bordering zones to cause a series of changes.
A divine war was not only a duel between gods and a fight between warriors of divine kingdoms, there was also the entanglement and mutual influence between the rules behind it.
The easiest way to completely take possession of a divine kingdom was to kill the local gods, and with the fall of the old gods, the local flame of faith would be extinguished immediately. Receiving the old god’s legacy would become easy.
However, in actual battle, this was no easy task.
The gods would not easily show their faces during the battle, and they had to be sure of the absolute superiority of the god body before showing up. Until then, both sides would sit back and remain patient, waiting for the other side to reveal their cracks.
On the frontal battlefield, the soldiers of the god kingdoms led by the apostles fought each other.
By possessing more enemy territory and weakening the enemy population in the long run, the power of their own rules would be able to better radiate around them, putting them in a home-field combat environment.
Take this Divine War as an example.
The Ghost World was mostly swamps, mudflats and lakes, a damp and cold world; the Bamboo Reed Country was a forest-dominated hilly and mountainous area with a warm climate and more sunlight.
Ghouls hate sunlight and become weaker when exposed to it, while the bamboo people hate water and are more prone to injury if they are immersed in it.
As the Bamboo Reed Country side continued to advance, the power of the rules on the other side was also gradually transforming the landscape of the bordering area, evolving in a direction more favourable to them.
The Spectral Demon God looked on.
He was in no hurry.
Trading space for time, this was the strategy of the Spectral Ghost Realm.
He deliberately allowed the tomb group ahead to reduce the frequency of their attacks, deliberately creating the illusion of defeat in order to paralyse the enemy’s aggressive pursuit.
As long as the Bamboo Beasts and Bamboo People could charge all the way to the hinterland of the tomb cluster, the Ghouls and the high-level Tombstones would be able to form a powerful merge and heavily damage the enemy’s main force.
Unfortunately, the enemy didn’t advance even though they won the battle.
It was evident that the Bamboo Reed King was also experienced in divine battles and had not been carried away by the localised victory.
So the Psi-Gods entered the next stage.
Infiltration.
The Psi-Ghost Realm had a racial advantage, the ghosts.
The ghosts couldn’t fight head on, they scattered at the first rush, and their injuries were irreversible. But they themselves have special forms that allow them to hide and hide in a variety of environments.
Some of these resourceful and tough ghosts were trained as ghost scouts by Apostle Blo. During wartime they would silently burrow into the enemy’s rear, gather all kinds of information about the enemy’s divine kingdom, and carry out sabotage on command.
While the front battlefield of the Spectral Ghost Realm was repeatedly defeated, the ghost scouts in the rear achieved great success.
Their reconnaissance determined that the true core of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom was the Reed Folk.
This group of short and dexterous little people, who liked to have long spikes of reeds tied to their heads, looked weak and powerless, but they were the brains of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom.
The Reed Folk help the Bamboo People thrive by planting bamboo forests in the backcountry, and they are also the Bamboo People’s mentors. The bamboo beasts on the battlefield, the bamboo fortifications, the bamboo buildings, the bamboo swords, the bamboo spears, the bamboo armour, and so on, were all designed by the Reubenites.
If the swords and shields of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom were the brave Bamboo People, the weapon holders were the clever Reed People.
The Ghost Scouts were ordered to carry out a mass assassination of the key Reed Folk.
This caused the Bamboo Reed Kingdom to suffer heavy losses.
In retaliation, the Bamboo Reed Kingdom sent out a large number of bamboo birds to attack and destroy the rear of the Spectre Realm.
The core strengths of the two divine kingdoms, the Funeral Race and the Reed Folk, both continued to lose even though neither of them had gone to the front lines.
The war was not only a competition to see who was more capable of producing kills, but also to see who was more capable of accepting losses.
With the appearance of the [Crazy Tombstone] and [Bamboo Bird], the divine war entered an even more intense and brutal phase, and the population reduction on both sides steeply accelerated.
The Apostles also finally entered the war.
Although the Bamboo Reed Kingdom only had one apostle, the apostle called [Bamboo Man] was of an extremely high rank.
It used a special bamboo pole weapon, jumping around on the battlefield with the bamboo pole, smashing one tombstone after another like an ape …… Hobbard coped with the situation with extreme difficulty, and even with the addition of Buluo at the back, he was only barely able to hold up the situation.
The Psi-Ghost Realm was still in a disadvantageous position.
But the Psi-Ghost God still had one more crushing trick.
As long as the Bamboo Reed Kingdom dared to press on with a large army, charging all the way into the Phantom Ghost Realm’s hinterland, He would have the depth of space to manoeuvre.
At that time, the lurking ghost scouts would no longer be able to be watched one by one. The miracle of the Spectral Ghost God would use the spectral scouts as a fuse to incinerate most of the Ruthenians into ashes, and the unquenchable spectral fire would blaze in the Bamboo People’s base camp, and that would be the time to reverse the tide of battle.
In a situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak, one had to be patient and determined enough.
Just as the Psi-God was focusing on the battlefield, Sandwalker Saltjou suddenly appeared on the frontline and fought with the Bamboo Beasts.
The Psi-God rejoiced.
Good fight, give me a hard fight!
Sandwalker’s origins were mysterious, but he was a LV33 Transcendent, with a higher rank than both Buluo and Hobald. He took a shot at the Bamboo Beast, that could effectively relieve the pressure in front of him.
It would be even better if he could take care of Bamboo Man.
Unfortunately, at this time, Bamboo Man was in another battlefield and was pressing Hobard.
The Psi-God’s attitude towards Sandwalker was very complicated.
When He initially saw it, He was overjoyed.
The Kingdom of God even had this kind of transcendent, transforming into an apostle first.
As a result, he was rejected.
The Psi-Ghost God was first stunned, then out of anger.
Surprisingly rejecting a god’s enlistment? What an arrogant mortal indeed!
If you’re not one of us, then you’re an enemy!
At one point, the Psi-God wanted to execute this unruly Sandwalker.
He eventually held back.
Sandwalker claimed to be from the Yao Clan, and he had arrived here after he had missed his ascension from the Temple in the Clouds.
Yunzhong Temple ……
The Spectral Demon God looked towards the huge, terrifying white vortex.
Vortex World, Temple in the Clouds.
His heart sank.
Sandwalkers were absolutely unable to break through world boundaries on their own.
Only a god could do that. Even if a god made a move, it was at least a title god that had this ability to forcefully open a boundary crossing.
But …… using the Vortex World as a venue for believers to cultivate and hone their skills, this was unheard of.
The Sandwalker claimed to be an ordinary follower of the gods, and the Psi-God was convinced.
But seeing the descent of the Divine Descent Giant, the Psi-God realised that he had still underestimated the god behind Sandwalker.
This was an LV99 apostle.
Not because it was only LV99, but because it was in the Creeping Zone. This place was blocked off from the upper limit and could only reach LV99. that is to say, this apostle’s archetype was at least from the Flying Leap Zone.
And the fact that some of the Divine Giant’s abilities were sealed and unusable was the best proof of that.
Named [Yao God] and not ranked in the pantheon of gods, title gods are shown by their titles …… Then it is most likely that it is a main god that transcends the gods.
The main god has many names, for example, the goddess of hunting is also called [God of Fruitfulness and Nurture], also called [Goddess of Rehabilitation] or [Goddess of Purification], and it’s normal that some ancient and strange names haven’t been heard of.
There were a few moments of gratitude in the Psi-God’s heart.
Fortunately, he was steady enough not to finish off Sandwalker in a fit of rage.
It was a Lord God who was gazing at the place.
He immediately implicitly indicated that he would let Buluo and Sandwalker get along well.
Could it be that this vortex world of the Cloud Temple had some sort of secret, or special resources?
The Psi-God was still pondering.
Suddenly the entire world shook violently, a huge mouth cracked open in the middle of the clouds, and the power of the rules began to fall into anomalies or even partial failures.
Rain flowed backwards, gusts of wind became beams, and amidst the alternating black and white light, the outline of a blurry world surfaced in the sky.
The Phantom God was dumbfounded.
Another divine kingdom?
He immediately checked out this intruding world.
Fortunately, it was an ordinary gravel world.
Disasters really did come in packs.
Before the Psi-Ghost God had time to deal with it, the result was that the divine Kingdom once again rumbled, the sun in the sky directly disappeared without a trace, and a bizarre indentation appeared on the ground …… This time it was much more serious than the last time, and the Psi-Ghost God suspected for a moment that the divine Kingdom was going to be torn apart.
Fortunately, in the end, the spectral ghost world tenaciously resisted.
It was just that the entire world had also become chaotic and wretched, with major disruptions to the basic rules of climate and geography, making the entire divine Kingdom strange and dangerous.
The only good news was that the distant Bamboo Reed Kingdom was similarly filled with yellow sand and the sky collapsed.
The falling gravel world collapsed into countless rubble and mud, countless tongues of fire emerged from the cracks in the ground, and a lightning bolt shaped like a ball of light surfaced in the air, spreading in all directions and exploding when touched. Whether it was the ghouls or the bamboo people, both had to avoid this natural disaster.
Both sides tacitly withdrew, each contracting and consolidating.
It was hard to say who would win if the fight continued, but the rear was definitely gone.
The Psi-God became even more worried.
The divine war could still be a truce, the sudden natural disaster was the most terrifying enemy of the Creeping Zone.
Thinking of this, His resentment towards King Bamboo Reed deepened.
Why is this bast*rd having a fit?
I’m properly developing in the Vortex World, you rushed over to start a war like a f*cking madman, who did I mess with me?
Now it’s good, we’re all finished together! No one’s getting away!
Are you happy now? Happy?
The Pantheon God felt that perhaps he had been too lucky in the past, and his long accumulated bad luck had finally exploded.
Although there were numerous grievances and complaints in his heart, the Psi-God still broke his teeth and swallowed them in his stomach.
Living in the Creeping Zone, one had to look ahead in everything.
He calmed down for a moment and thought of a solution.
Perhaps it was possible for Sandwalker to step in and formally initiate communication with the Bamboo Reed King.
Both sides couldn’t afford to wear out their welcome anymore.
Losing face was fine.
The divine Kingdom was important.
