The third layer of the Abyss Brink.

Dongfang Bai led Guan Zhong and a few others to Dynasty’s site and headed straight for Lin Huang to ask him a question.

“There haven’t been any signs of movement in the dimensional gateways for over an hour now. Is it possible that the invaders have given up?”

Lin Huang s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Dongfang Bai and ignored the faint look of expectation on Dongfang Bai’s face.

“The lack of movement is probably because they’ve lost too many Virtual G.o.ds. They’re also aware that their current mode of exploration is fruitless and have abandoned further attempts at it. However, that doesn’t mean they will give up on their invasion. I’m guessing they’re waiting for the world will to be completely suppressed before sending in their main army!”

Dongfang Bai was still somewhat reluctant to give up after hearing Lin Huang’s words.

“What you mean to say is that despite being unable to determine which of the dimensional gateways is functional, they will still persist in the invasion?”

“Based on my understanding of the invaders, yes.” Lin Huang nodded.

“Aren’t they afraid that all the dimensional gateways are problematic?” Guan Zhong could not help furrowing his brows and asking.

“Number one, the probability of all thirty-three dimensional gateways malfunctioning is extremely low. Number two, when their main army arrives, it will also be a chance for exploration. As long as they teleport enough people over and we can’t kill them in time, they will be able to determine which dimensional gateways are usable. Only then will the True G.o.ds arrive.

“So, as long as we ma.s.sacre their main forces fast enough, their True G.o.ds won’t arrive! That’ll remove all risks of getting invaded by True G.o.ds!” Dongfang Bai’s eyes shone after hearing Lin Huang’s words.

Lin Huang peered sidelong at Dongfang Bai and shook his head helplessly. “It’s not as easy as you think.

“If their True G.o.ds don’t arrive and they give up on this invasion, after a while they will gather more Virtual G.o.ds to form their main army a second time. When that happens, the invaders will only be stronger and far more numerous.

“However, if their True G.o.ds arrive all at once, we’ll be dealing with less trouble in the future.”

The individuals from the Union Government suddenly developed convoluted expressions once again.

Naturally, they did not wish for the True G.o.ds to arrive. As cultivators in the gravel world who were unable to elevate to True G.o.ds, in their minds they held True G.o.ds in reverence.

However, they also knew that what Lin Huang said was true. If the invasion failed, there would always be the possibility of their enemies trying again—moreover, when that happened, their enemies would be even more prepared.

If they managed to eliminate all of their enemies in one fell swoop, they would be able to destroy their enemies at the gra.s.sroots.

The only thing was that Dongfang Bai and his group honestly did not have much confidence in themselves to handle an invasion from high-rank True G.o.ds. This created a psychological dilemma for them.

After receiving this less-than-satisfactory news from Lin Huang, Dongfang Bai led everyone back to their own camp, a helpless expression on his face.

Dongfang Bai very quickly directed Guan Zhong to contact Jiang Shan over in faraway First City and update Jiang Shan on the most recent situation here.

Jiang Shan’s response was, “If the True G.o.ds arrive, you should all cooperate with Dynasty as best as you can. After all, Lin Huang’s the only one who is capable of dealing with medium and high-rank True G.o.ds. I’ll attempt to sugarcoat the current battle results and try as much as I can to encourage more Virtual G.o.ds to join the fight.”

…

At Dynasty’s site, Mr. Fu could not help but lament.

“I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that our enemies have stopped exploring.”
