This topic was briefly mentioned and then dismissed by Lin Haifeng, who went on to explain a few matters to Fang Bai before ending the communication.
Only then did a profound sense of fatigue appear on Lin Haifeng's face.
Heaven knows the burden weighing on him at this moment was immense—Wen Yu was angry and disregarding the bigger picture, the celestial gods had gone insane, and he even had warriors who once defended the frontlines charging towards the battlefield! What about Tang Haofei? Who knows where he was, probably in some corner executing the life and death battle resolution. Furthermore, whether the current Tang N was a good communication partner was still up for debate. On top of that, there was the earth's will, which Lin Haifeng could hardly comprehend...
In just one day, everything had changed.
But he alone could not afford to be indifferent or careless...
Because someone needed to maintain a sense of calm.
At this moment, Lin Haifeng felt like a magnet, trying to keep two already ignited barrels of gunpowder apart, hoping they wouldn't react violently with one another.
He looked around and suddenly realized that he had no teammates by his side, not even someone with whom he could share his innermost thoughts or express his vulnerable emotions.
Lin Haifeng sat there for a long, long time, until the communicator in his hand rang again. He answered the call, and Fran's voice came through.
"I need to trouble you with something."
"Go ahead."
"Well, the transport channel between the Layered Battlefield and Earth is blocked. Right now, Wen Yu's stone men won't let us in. Can you communicate with Wen Yu and see if he can let us through?"
The relocation of Beijing was a decision made a few days prior. Even with the sudden changes in the situation, this action had not been halted—in fact, Lin Haifeng instructed the headquarters in Beijing to accelerate the relocation process.
Earth was the territory of the celestial gods and the earth's will.
Upon hearing this, Lin Haifeng fell silent for a moment before he spoke.
"I understand."
He then hung up the communicator and put away his earlier look of discouragement.
Perhaps it was time to have a chat with Wen Yu.
...
When Lin Haifeng's call came through, Wen Yu was comfortably basking in the sun on his balcony.
Maple Leaf Town had a great environment, and the weather today was nice. Moreover, since it was in the core area of Beijing, nothing from the outside world could interfere with it.
The people here continued their daily routines. To them, the world remained the same, and the Layered Battlefield was still the same Layered Battlefield.
Downstairs, two boys, around six or seven years old, were practicing sword techniques with wooden swords, mimicking their teacher's instructions. Wen Yu, feeling bored, simply observed and found enjoyment in it.
He really liked this leisurely life...
Indeed, Wen Yu was very relaxed. Even though the war was initiated by him, and even though his decisions indirectly led to countless deaths, Wen Yu still remained very relaxed.
With a spirit pet and a soul puppet legion, just these two aspects were enough to support Wen Yu's tranquil life—because from the very beginning, this was never an equal contest!
In the past, Wen Yu considered the bigger picture, and since he had no grievances with the celestial gods, he had powerful forces at his disposal that he chose not to use. But this time, when Wen Yu decided to be ruthless, he discovered that the so-called celestial gods... the so-called Beijing... under his power, were merely trembling and moaning.
His spirit pets were all invincible existences in the outside world. Even his first batch of soul puppets now possessed the power to crush everyone except for Tang Haofei. With them, Wen Yu only needed to lie back and give orders.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Wen Yu. Logically speaking, since his spirit pets had caused so much chaos outside, the treasure land guardians and sovereign should have shown up long ago, but the fact was that with the slaughter continuing, those who made Wen Yu apprehensive had not appeared at all.
