In the abyss!
The Wise Emperor squinted his eyes at the dimming Abyssal Seal ahead and said, "After so many attacks, the power of the Abyssal Seal has finally been weakened by a large amount! It won't be long before it's broken open!"
The Demon Emperor, with a hint of excitement in his tone, said, "Soon, we'll let those humans experience true despair!"
In his mind, he envisioned a scene where abyssal creatures mercilessly slaughtered humans before devouring the entire Human Plane!
The Sickle Emperor, unable to wait any longer, urged, "I see no need to wait any further. With the strength of the seal as it is now, it simply cannot withstand our combined strike!"
"Although that's the case," the Fierce Emperor said coldly, "forcing the Abyssal Seal to break will still bring significant side effects!"
The Abyssal Emperor, who had been silently watching them, suddenly spoke, "Spirit Emperor, have all the lower-tier Abyssal Emperors assembled?"
With a slight nod, the Spirit Emperor responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, they are ready at a moment's notice."
Upon hearing this, the Abyssal Emperor, expressionless, commanded, "Have them prepare to take action."
Now, to break through the Abyssal Seal quickly without affecting the high-end combat forces, they had no choice but to sacrifice these lower-tier Abyssal Emperors!
The Spirit Emperor nodded in acknowledgment and then unleashed his immense spiritual power, instantly locking onto the lower-tier Abyssal Emperors directly in front of the abyssal entrance...
"Rulers of each tier, heed my command. Now, immediately launch an attack on the Abyssal Seal!"
As these words echoed in their minds, disbelief appeared on their faces...
"What? Neither His Majesty nor the high-tier Abyssal Emperors intend to take action?"
"Damn it! I see now, His Majesty intends to use us as cannon fodder to break the Abyssal Seal!"
"Cursed be it, I thought His Majesty was going to lead us in an attack on the Human Plane. I didn't expect this to be his plan!!"
"But... if we defy the Emperor's orders, we have no way out!"
"So be it, let's go all out against this Abyssal Seal. It's better to be weakened a bit than to be dead!"
Although they had not taken human form, their intelligence was not inferior to that of humans!
Compared to the backlash from the Abyssal Seal, the Abyssal Emperor was even more terrifying!
With this thought, these lower-tier Abyssal Emperors all unleashed their strongest attacks, bombarding the Abyssal Seal before them...
With their addition, as well as the abyssal creatures constantly battering the seal with their bodies...
The entire Abyssal Seal became fragile in just a few hours, gradually breaking apart, on the verge of collapse...
...
Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the Blood God Army!
All the officers had gathered, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense...
Zhang Huanyun, leading the meeting, said solemnly, "The strength of the Abyssal Seal has been weakening recently. I fear it will be broken in a day or two. What are your thoughts on this?"
Jiang Qiyue took a deep breath and was the first to express his opinion, "Commander, although we shouldn't dampen our spirit or undermine our own morale in such a situation, I still want to say that relying solely on the Blood God Army as well as the support from the Tang Sect and the federation to withstand the tide of abyssal creatures is nearly impossible!"
When the Abyssal Seal had not fully broken, the number of emerging abyssal creatures was limited, and they could somehow be countered!
But once the seal was no longer in place, they would face hundreds of thousands or more abyssal creatures!
Facing such numbers, the Blood God Army was far too weak!
Hearing this, the other officers echoed in agreement, "I support Colonel Jiang Qiyue's suggestion, but... until the very last moment, we have no reason to give up!"
```
"You're right, the members of the Blood God Army are warriors who would rather die in battle here than become deserters!"
"Nevertheless, we should still communicate the highly likely event of the Blood God Army's defeat to all the cities, so even if we fail, the Soul Masters will be able to prepare in advance!"
Tang Wulin furrowed his eyebrows, dissatisfied, "In the eyes of all you officers, is defeat the only outcome?!"
In the eyes of Jiang Qiyue, and those officials, he saw not even a glimmer of hope...
It was as if they had already determined that this battle would end in a tragic loss!
As soon as these words were spoken, several other officers showed a bitter smile, "Colonel Tang Wulin, we naturally also hope to defeat the abyssal creatures, but Blood One has fallen, and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion are still recovering from serious injuries. We truly don't know how to achieve victory!"
"Yeah, just in terms of high-end combat power, we are at an absolute disadvantage, not to mention the number of ordinary abyssal creatures, which is not on the same scale as the Blood God Army!"
"If all the Soul Masters of the continent united in resistance, perhaps that would give us a glimmer of hope! Otherwise..."
Xie Xie, who had been unable to hold back, immediately rebuked coldly, "The battle hasn't even started yet, and you're already talking like this! We might as well just evacuate and let the abyssal creatures rule the continent!!"
Yuanen Yehui did not expect such an intense reaction from him and immediately grabbed his palm to calm him, "Xie Xie! Cool it!"
Xie Xie forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart and immediately stood up, "I'm going to step out for a moment. Please, continue!"
If everyone already believes that there is no chance of victory, then what's the point of this discussion!
Seeing this, Ye Xinglan and the others stood up, shook their heads, and then left the meeting room...
Once again, the room was plunged into silence...
...
Spirit Pagoda!
Leng Yaozhu, who had received the news, immediately sought out Gu Yuena...
With a complex expression, she said, "Gu Yue, it seems that because you did not support the Blood God Army, Shrek Academy has removed all records related to you."
Her statement was very subtle, but its meaning was very clear: You've been excommunicated from Shrek Academy!
Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes flickered, then she replied calmly, "Mm, I expected this would happen!"
Leng Yaozhu pressed further, "So what do you plan to do?"
Gu Yuena glanced sideways at her, "Do what?"
Leng Yaozhu sighed, "Gu Yue, there's no need to play dumb with me. I mean your companions from Shrek Academy, if they find out you've been excommunicated from Shrek Academy..."
The other was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Knowing or not knowing won't change anything, since I've already decided to sever all ties with Shrek Academy!"
After a pause, she added, "As for the... Shrek Seven Monsters, as long as they don't get in my way, I won't take any initiative against them!"
Leng Yaozhu pursed her lips, "But to revitalize the Soul Beast Clan, you must involve Shrek Academy!"
However, Gu Yuena showed no inclination to continue the topic and interrupted, "Let's not talk about this for now. I will be heading to the Blacksmith Association soon, and I'll trouble you to look after things here."
Since she had taken on the role of Pagoda Master, she simply addressed the other as "teacher."
