The participation of heaven's chosen level soul puppets in the battle was a premeditated move by Wen Yu.
Wen Yu indeed wanted to leave, but that didn't mean he wouldn't leave something behind for Earth—he had so many of his kin; it was impossible to take them all away. Bringing along the familiar soul puppets like mountain puppets and corpse puppets was feasible, but it was better to leave the rest on Earth.
There were also the heaven's chosen level soul puppets crafted in the Demon Palace.
Although these beings feared the essence of the demon lord, they had no fear of the demon lord's soul puppets. At the ninth tier stage, the demon lord could not enter the layered battlefield; their power in this world was undoubtedly invincible!
Earth had nurtured Wen Yu, and he felt it wasn't right to just leave without a thought. He carefully selected a portion of the heaven's chosen level soul puppets to remain on Earth, serving as a trump card for Beijing.
This was also the fundamental reason why Wen Yu confidently stated during his conversation with Tang Haofei that "Earth can hold out for a long time."
With thirteen heaven's chosen level soul puppets, there was no way they could lose the battle...
Coupled with the Guardian Type III left by Wen Yu—specifically designed to counteract origin power—even with the variant soul puppets joining the fray, Beijing had the capability to win.
There was little else Wen Yu could do; leaving behind a few key items was enough to settle all ties he had on Earth. He acknowledged that cutting ties was necessary, but with so many items left behind, he felt he owed nothing.
Everything was good; everyone was well—how perfect it was to forget each other in the world!
At the very least, Wen Yu felt relaxed and believed he owed no one anything.
As his thoughts were clear, that was enough.
...
Watching Aogules descend from the sky and swiftly eliminate hundreds of powerful soul puppets, Tang Haofei slightly pursed his lips, his eyes shining with excitement as if he wanted to spar with Aogules up close.
As a melee warrior, encountering such a strong opponent was bound to ignite Tang Haofei's fighting spirit.
Perhaps sensing Tang Haofei's eagerness, the one-eyed man chuckled and pointed to Aogules standing in the distance.
"From today onwards, Aogules will remain in Zone Nine, guarding the front line. You can spar with him anytime you wish."
Upon hearing this, Tang Haofei nodded, and then he heard the one-eyed man mumbling to himself.
"I wonder how the demon lord will react when he finds out there's a heaven's chosen level soul puppet stationed here."
In fact, the demon lord showed no expression.
After the first wave of soul puppets was wiped out, the demon lord had already received the news. After a brief contemplation, he sent out a team of variant soul puppets. However, thousands of variant soul puppets didn't stand a chance against the Guardian Type III controlled by the one-eyed man and Aogules.
The Guardian Type III cleared the origin power, and Aogules dispatched a variant soul puppet with just a few punches and kicks. Even the air variant soul puppets couldn't escape Aogules' detection equipment.
Reality told the demon lord that he had no chance in this battle...
Frustration was inevitable—wanting to break through the level restraint in a short time had become a luxury, but to say the demon lord was so furious he spat blood would be pure nonsense.
The demon lord simply lay quietly in the origin pool, seemingly dead, indifferent to the external situation...
Amid the demon lord's silence, the layered battlefield also calmed down.
...
In Beijing, after thorough preparations for the demonic clan transformed into humans, the brainwashing process proceeded smoothly. After just a month, the strength of Beijing's brainwashing efforts began to show.
A large number of safely confirmed demon beings were arranged across various layered battlefield continents, diligently farming and living, continuously being assimilated. In less than three generations, these demon beings would identify with their identities and smoothly integrate into the human race’s family.
