Though Wen Yu was nominally the master of the Layered Battlefield, the teleportation channels between the various land blocks were indeed beyond his control.
These teleportation channels had existed since ancient times and were not subject to control; Wen Yu could not just close them at will. Moreover, the only channel connecting Earth to the Layered Battlefield—the main teleportation channel located within the Main City of the Layered Battlefield—was a constant teleportation passage that could not be closed by any means.
However, even if it couldn't be closed, Wen Yu could still seal it off.
Once Victor and the one-eyed figure left, Wen Yu immediately issued orders for the mountain puppets to seal the main teleportation channel, prohibiting the passage of any personnel affiliated with the celestial god.
This was not to prevent the celestial god from mobilizing reinforcements from outside—after years of migration, the Layered Battlefield had become the main area of development for all factions. Although the celestial god had long been holed up on Earth, most of his mutated beasts and professionals remained in the Layered Battlefield. Even Mocha, who had been expelled from the main battlefield, was merely staying at some sub-base in Washington, existing like a useless salted fish, rather than returning to Earth.
The celestial god's daily operations were conducted via remote command from Earth.
No matter how capable Wen Yu was, he couldn't block communications within the Layered Battlefield. This decision of his was not intended to prevent the celestial god's reinforcements from entering; it was to ensure that they could never leave again!
If he wanted to start a war, then fine, he would fight to the death! This time, Wen Yu would eradicate the forces left in the Layered Battlefield, not allowing any of them to escape!
It was simply like shutting the door to beat the dog!
…
The moment the negotiation between the celestial god and Wen Yu collapsed, the celestial god already sensed that things were taking an unpredictable turn. At that moment, he felt a brief hesitation and unease—this matter had escalated too much and could lead to consequences beyond control. On the other hand, the celestial god had some doubts about the decisions made by earth's will.
Earth's will had never shown any concern for level restraint or the local life forms on Earth. Although the celestial god knew that earth's will had changed fundamentally, he never imagined it would deteriorate to this extent!
However, thinking about the future path he had set for himself, the celestial god sighed and resolved to follow earth's will's decisions without question.
Wen Yu's attempt to advance to level 11 was for survival, and the celestial god's adherence to earth's will was also for promotion to level 11, also for survival! Perhaps for the ignorant lower classes, there were many choices in this world, but the higher one climbed, the more one knew, and the more one could understand the harshness and cruelty of it all.
There were no choices; to survive, there was no option but to advance to level 11…
In fact, from a certain perspective, the celestial god was even worse off than Wen Yu; at least Wen Yu could go all out, while the celestial god could only obey the decisions made by his superiors.
He was no different from the soldiers expelled from the front lines…
Yet Wen Yu did not "disappoint" the celestial god.
After the celestial god calmed down and reviewed a document, the communicator suddenly rang.
A panicked voice from a member of the sea king clan came through.
"Lord... save me... Lord!!!"
The voice faded, but the cries of anguish and the sounds of explosions from within grew stronger until everything fell silent…
"Oh? There's a communicator... Hello? Is anyone there?"
A mocking bark mixed with the inquiry, leaving the celestial god silent for a while. Eventually, he quietly hung up the communicator.
In just a few minutes, one of his direct forces—the Region 3, Block 0182, the third stronghold of the sea king clan—had completely lost contact.
