Chapter 686: Chapter 608: Divine War Calendar, Year 10, Counterattacking the Gods (2)

“We must open a path to survival.”

“At the very least, the final battlefield cannot be in the Sky Dome World.”

“Of course, I’ve also considered that losing the protection of the Sky Dome World’s Rules will result in heavy casualties.”

“So, I’ve come up with a plan.”

“We will counterattack and conquer the Divine Kingdom of the God of Frost and Warhammer. Then, we will extend the Sky Dome World’s Rules into his Divine Kingdom. Within the area covered by our world’s Rules, our people will still be able to resurrect.”

The Elf King said, “Theoretically, this plan is feasible. The problem is that the enemy’s Divine Kingdom is not the Sky Dome World. The enemy has absolute control over their Divine Kingdom. Even you would have a hard time changing its Rules.”

Li Wei nodded and said, “Correct. That’s precisely why I’ve gathered everyone for this meeting.”

“If we proceed with this plan, I’ll have to focus all my Power on countering the Divine Kingdom’s Rules, which means I probably won’t be able to participate in the battle itself.”

“I’ll need you to hold off the gods and their allied forces.”

The Saint Dragon King said, “I have no problem with that. The Dragon Race can dispatch ten Demigods to the battle. Under the influence of Saint Xi’s Law of time, these ten Dragon Demigods will all maintain their Peak Stage combat power.”

The Elf King mused for a moment, then said, “The Elf Empire has no problem either. We can dispatch sixteen Demigods to join the battle.”

The Beast King said, “No objections. The Beast King Empire offers its full support.”

The Great Sage said, “The Human Empire has no objections either. As Li Wei said, this is our last chance before the gods return.”

“If we can’t carve out a path to survival, the Sky Dome World will face its final doom.”

The remaining Divine Spirits also expressed their willingness to join the battle.

Li Wei nodded. “Good. Then it’s settled. Ten days from now, I will activate the Rainbow Bridge and open a Teleportation Gate to the enemy’s Divine Kingdom.”

“Everyone, return and prepare yourselves.”

「Li Wei returned to the Maple City Mage Tower.」

Gu Sewei, who had already become a Demigod Level Powerhouse, saw him return.

Gu Sewei asked, “Has everything been decided?”

Li Wei nodded. “There was no other choice. According to the information I have, the gods will return in one or two years at most. When that happens, the Sky Dome World will be besieged by them, completely powerless to fight back.”

“Mm, I’ll be joining the battle too.”

Li Wei looked at her but didn’t try to dissuade her.

The war between the Sky Dome World and the gods had already been raging for ten years.

Everyone was a part of the war.

No one could escape it.

Even Gu Sewei had died several times right in front of Li Wei.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to break through and become a Demigod Level Powerhouse so quickly.

She was only a step away from ascending to the Divine Level.

The War Knight Reina was also a Demigod Level Powerhouse.

When Reina saw Li Wei, she said, “The moment you open the Teleportation Gate, I’ll lead the army and charge into the Divine Kingdom.”

Li Wei said, “Opening a breach is crucial, but be careful. Before the Sky Dome World’s Rules can cover the Divine Kingdom, if you die, you’re really dead.”

Reina laughed and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t die.”

She looked up at the sky.

The sky was filled with multicolored clouds.

They weren’t rainbow-hued clouds.

They were the traces left behind on the world from the prolonged battles between the Sky Dome World’s Warriors and the gods’ Heroic and Holy Spirits.

Just as Li Wei had said, the final battlefield absolutely could not be in the Sky Dome World.

Otherwise, even if they could withstand the gods’ full-scale assault, the Sky Dome World wouldn’t be able to bear the Power of the battle, and the entire world would be torn apart and destroyed.

Even now, the Sky Dome World would need an incredibly long time to recover from the wounds of the past ten years.

“I’m off then. See you in ten days.”

Reina waved goodbye to Li Wei.

It was just as Li Wei had said.

This would be the most perilous battle of all.

Without their ability to resurrect, the Professionals of the Sky Dome World would be making a desperate, all-or-nothing charge against the armies of the Divine Kingdom.

If they died, they would be truly dead.

Even Reina couldn’t guarantee she would survive.

Over the past ten years, she had already died countless times.

「After Reina left.」

Li Wei turned his head to look at a shadow-shrouded area to his left.

“Lilith, are you here to say goodbye as well?”

A figure emerged from the shadows.

Lilith, dressed in a black robe, looked at Li Wei and nodded. “Mm.”

Ten years of the divine war.

Lilith had endured countless trials, becoming a Demigod Level Shadow Assassin Mage.

Every bit of her Power had been forged from blood and pain.

Li Wei looked at her and asked, “How is Lilia?”

“She’s fine. I put her to sleep. She’ll only wake up after I’ve left,” Lilith said.

With Li Wei’s help, when Lilith broke through to the Legendary Level, she had separated her own personality.

Li Wei used his Divine Power and the Natural Law to reconstruct a body for Lilia.

Lilia had been living in the Elemental Tower ever since, as Lilith’s younger sister.

Living a carefree life.

It was just as Lilia had always wanted: all that mattered was having enough to eat and sleep each day.

She didn’t want anything else.

Well, perhaps you’d have to add Lilith’s companionship to that premise.

Lilia lost her Power and became an ordinary Half-Beast Catgirl, enjoying the peaceful life Lilith provided for her.

Lilith had a premonition that her fate on this venture was uncertain.

Not wanting Lilia to be sad, she had put her to sleep for a while.

Lilia would wake up naturally once it was all over.

Li Wei had gone to see Lilia once a few years ago.

Thinking of Lilia, he chuckled and said, “That’s good too. It’s just that she’ll probably be very sad if she wakes up and can’t find you.”

“So, you have to do your best to survive.”

“Mm.”

Lilith retreated into the shadows and vanished.

Li Wei felt a light touch on his face.

He subconsciously touched his cheek.

Scanning his surroundings, he could no longer sense Lilith’s presence.

“Lilith…”

Soon, the news that they would be counterattacking the gods’ Divine Kingdoms spread to all parties.

The vast majority were incredibly excited.

They had been fighting a defensive war for so long, and it had been incredibly frustrating.

Now, they could finally counterattack the gods.

Everyone was fired up and ready to give it their all.

Even knowing they would lose their ability to resurrect after leaving the Sky Dome World, no one was afraid.

In the Sky Dome World, any Professional who hadn’t died at least ten times would be too embarrassed to even talk to others.

The fear of death had long since faded.

All they had now was a fervent desire for revenge.

Li Wei’s friends also came one by one to say their goodbyes.

Without the ability to resurrect.

No one could guarantee they would make it back alive.

Gu Ze came with his children. Looking at Li Wei and Gu Sewei, he sighed and said, “It’s a shame my Power isn’t great enough. I can’t go into battle with you.”

He had already become a Tier Six Peak Grand Mage.

He had yet to break through to the Legendary Level.

For this counterattack against the gods, the minimum requirement to participate was to have reached the Legendary Professional Level.

Li Wei had set such a high requirement to avoid unnecessary casualties.

After all, in the gods’ kingdoms, even the weakest Heroic Spirit could reach Tier Six.

Heroic and Holy Spirits of Tier Seven and above were a common sight.

Only Professionals who had reached the Legendary Level could have a slight chance of ensuring their own survival.

Those below the Legendary Level wouldn’t even be able to withstand the aftershocks of the battle.

Gu Sewei said, “Someone has to stay behind and watch the Mage Tower anyway. I’d hate to come back and find our home gone.”

Hearing this, Gu Ze chuckled and nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely hold the fort until every last one of you returns.”

He looked toward the young man standing to Li Wei’s right.

“Arthur, you have to take good care of your mother.”

Seven years had passed.

Just as Li Wei had predicted.

In just seven short years, Li Yashu had already reached the appearance of a full-grown adult.

Under Li Wei’s guidance, Li Yashu had also ignited the Nine-Colored Divine Fire early on, setting foot on the same path to godhood as Li Wei—a path of burning everything away for the ultimate sublimation.

Li Yashu already possessed the Power of seven Stellars.

His strength was already the greatest among the gods of the Sky Dome World.

Second only to Li Wei.

After ten years, Li Wei’s Power had long since surpassed everyone’s imagination.
