The meeting was thus adjourned. Wen Yu had said everything that needed to be said; the rest was merely for the various gathering places to come together and discuss a solution, which wouldn't take long.
Three days later, when Wen Yu had completely relocated the Star of Africa and had already taken away more than half of the soul puppets, Lin Haifeng came over once again. This time, he represented the entire human race.
âHere is the specific plan, but there are some details we don't understand,â Lin Haifeng said, then unfolded a map; it was the flat analytical diagram of the Layered Battlefield in the Ring Star Domain.
âWhat we mean is to arrange the entire Layered Battlefield in a circular layout, with the first-level area on the outskirts of the Main City, and the outermost area being the tenth-level area. As for the distribution of the Demon Realm Gate, the first level occupies twenty percent, the second level twenty percent, the third level twenty percent, the fourth level twenty percent, the fifth level ten percent, the sixth level five percent, the seventh level two percent, and the eighth, ninth, and tenth levels each occupy one percent. This is mainly to reduce pressure on the front battlefield while increasing the cultivation efforts for lower-level life forms.â
Hearing Lin Haifeng's explanation, Wen Yu nodded slightly, âThis arrangement is fine.â
âAdditionally, regarding the area divisions, we have placed all the continental plates that will host the Demon Realm Gates in the northeastern direction, from a 0 to 30-degree angle, which will belong to the main battle zone of the Layered Battlefield. We will deploy troops around the area for tight security. Meanwhile, we have also discussed with the mutated beasts; both sides will send personnel. Other areas will be our bases for reproduction and survival.â
This was also a standard arrangement. It was expected to involve various parties' cautious thoughts, but these were all the responsibility of Lin Haifeng to integrate; Wen Yu didn't need to concern himself with them.
âWhat confuses me is here,â Lin Haifeng said, pointing to the tenth-level battlefield laid out in the Layered Battlefield.
âIf we are defeated here, will these level 10 demonic creatures be trapped in this area, or will they...â
âThe latter. Once a battle zone loses signs of Earth life, the protective zone at the edge of the battle zone will be lifted. The demonic creatures of that level will lose all restraints. This also means that the contention for that battle zone has failed; the demonic creatures of that level will be completely liberated and can freely roam among various level areas. Moreover, this process is irreversible; the level protection net cannot be rebuilt! You either hold on, or it collapsesâthere are only these two choices!â
Wen Yu had also inquired about this issue three days ago. The sovereign entrusted the Layered Battlefield to the human race not to allow them to hide within it to reproduce and accumulate strength. As Wen Yu had said, this was a large battlefield. Although the sovereign had set strict defensive measures between the various levels, this defensive barrier was not absolute like the level restraint.
It was merely a protective measure; if you truly thought of it as a lifeline, it could only be said that you didn't understand the sovereign's actual stance.
Upon hearing Wen Yu's explanation, Lin Haifeng nodded, then lowered his head to examine the map. After a moment, he sighed softly.
âThen this arrangement needs to be adjusted. The tenth-level area... when the level ten restraint is broken, this battle will be very difficult to fight. Do you have any suggestions?â
âYes!â
Wen Yu nodded decisively and pointed to the map, âExpand the tenth-level area as much as possible. I plan to place one-third of the continental plates into the tenth-level battlefield. In fact, there is a loopholeâthough not exactly a loopholeâin the rule stating, âonce a battle zone loses signs of Earth life.â This can be simply understood as long as one Earth life form still exists in that battle zone, the level protection net cannot be breached. If necessary, a powerful individual or one skilled in hiding could delay time in the tenth-level battlefield alone...â
