Light Fortress

So does the current scene in the Ning Fan Sea Area mean that Deep Sea has completely taken over all of the Central Continent’s permissions?

You have to understand.

The main system coordinates of Deep Sea are in Upper City!

The Dead Sea has been released and has already spread to the Ning Fan Sea Area!

The spiritual intensity of this thing is no joke.

Five years ago, the reason Gu Shen risked his life to unleash the "Lion Awakening code" was precisely to prevent the spiritual power of the entire Five Continents from pouring into the Dead Sea Zone.

Gu Shen finally succeeded; the Transcendents of the Three Continents Alliance severed their connection with the Deep Sea Network.

But... the Central Continent was not within Lion Awakening’s coverage!

"Rumble—"

The Fifth Legion’s fleet immediately activated; in an instant, wind and clouds surged over the sea.

But the next moment, an abnormal sound came from behind the fleet!

A dull impact sounded from the location of the High Wall.

The huge "hole" that had been completely shattered by the Heavenly Sheath Strike seemed to be filled in by some invisible power.

After receiving the retreat order, a heavy boat turned around and sailed back, then suddenly crashed into an incomparably hard void bastion. This collision was no small matter: the bow of the heavy boat was crushed inch by inch, deformed, and even its protective shield was shattered to pieces!

This abnormal phenomenon immediately caused an uproar.

"What is this... is it an Origin Domain?"

Lin Lin narrowed his eyes, not panicking.

Aluer had advanced alongside the Fifth Legion. After breaking through the Origin High Wall, he went off to battle that Origin Strong Person responsible for guarding the northern war zone. At this moment, to have the ability to block the retreat of an entire fleet... after thinking it through, it should only be a super powerhouse of Origin Level.

"No..."

Mu Wanqiu spoke in a low voice: "Don’t you feel that the Origin High Wall... doesn’t seem like a dead thing?"

These words actually made Lin Lin freeze for a second.

He stood at the very front of the command boat and raised his head.

The Origin High Wall—this towering giant wall that stretched across the sea like a colossal beast.

All along, he had thought this was a defensive fortification Deep Sea had built to mirror the Frontier Fortress at the Northern Continent Border. Yet after Mu Wanqiu spoke, Lin Lin finally realized the difference... the hole in the giant wall before his eyes seemed to be slowly "squirming."

It looked like a...

Huge mouth.

Under the densely concentrated Heavenly Sheath Strikes, the High Wall had been torn open, and the allied forces split into three routes, simultaneously charging forward. If someone could stand at the highest Skytop and look down, they would see that the Origin High Wall resembled a layer of belly.

And the Three Continent Fleet, which was racking its brains to surge into the inner sea, looked like "food" willingly entering the pot.

Lin Lin sent a transmission to the vanguard at the point where the fleet was turning: "What’s the situation now?"

The reply came from battle-hardened Osmond: "The High Wall’s been sealed; retreat failed... this thing seems to be engraved with unique ancient text array patterns—it can actually self-repair under Heavenly Sheath Strikes!"

"Open fire immediately!"

Lin Lin reacted at the fastest speed, saying, "Hit it hard for me! No matter what, we have to blast out a path to retreat!"

After seeing that patch of Black Sea.

A terrifying thought rose in Lin Lin’s heart.

If the scene within the Ning Fan Sea Area really is the ’Dead Sea’ descending...

Then the battle in Upper City is likely already over.

And the final victor is not the allied forces; judging from the battle reports from various regions of the Central Continent, the victor is not Qinglong either.

Then there is only one possibility.

The final victor... is Deep Sea.

Deep Sea has broken free from the constraints of its programming, become the master of "itself," and then released the lowest-level Dead Sea Network in the Spirit Network. Once this thing is released, it can precisely lock onto every Transcendent who has ever used the Spirit Network. Every Transcendent in the Central Continent has provided computing power to the Dead Sea.

Theoretically, the Dead Sea can quickly spread across the entire Central Continent!

And every chained user, not a single one can refuse Deep Sea’s forcible summons...

The entire continent will be dragged into the Spiritual World!

This sounds absurd.

But the desolate, deathly scene in the Ning Fan Sea Area precisely proves that... the real world is sometimes just this absurd.

Deep Sea has, with high probability, already linked to the entire Central Continent.

As for why Deep Sea is acting like this, Lin Lin can think of only one reason.

It’s preparing to carry out the twelfth upgrade.

Self-upgrading has always been within Deep Sea’s permission scope.

If it could carry out the twelfth upgrade, it would have done so long ago; it would never have waited until five years later, to this very day.

It’s very obvious.

Deep Sea has always been short of something to meet the conditions for the twelfth upgrade... but if you add this war, then it’s enough.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, over the sea, a sky-covering roar broke out!

The Black Silver Bombs unleashed their full firepower; the Fifth Legion launched a second offensive against the Origin High Wall with an extremely Biao Han stance... yet the Black Silver Bombs, which achieved excellent test results in the first round of trials, now exploded against the void bastion of the Origin High Wall with miserable effect. As the billowing smoke dispersed, that void barrier still stood firm!

This "High Wall" laid down by Deep Sea is actually meant to trap not only the Central Continent.

But also the outsiders who have stepped into the Central Continent.

The true impregnable fortress lies not without, but within.

It anticipated this day long ago.

The spiritual power required for the twelfth upgrade is simply too immense; relying solely on the strength of the Central Continent is far too inadequate... but if you add those few Divine Thrones from the Divine War, and then add the elite allied forces who stepped into the battlefield.

Then, it will be enough.

The greatest difficulty is trapping the allied fleet and completely sealing them in once they enter the High Wall.
