Netherworld Retrograde

The peace that all Human city-states longed for never arrived.

Even though the remnants of the Alien Race Civilization have been eradicated one by one under the conquest of Human Heroes, completely becoming history, the world-devouring Crimson Curse did not dissipate as foretold. It continues to spread, sweeping in with even more frenzied speed!

The Radiant Fire Great Wall defenses that border the city-states are being mercilessly swallowed by the scarlet tide. Each Radiant Fire Stone, core of the barrier, is having its energy consumed at hundreds of times the usual rate.

The majestic Great Wall, originally enough to resist the curse for decades, even centuries, has dimmed and crumbled in just a few short days.

Meanwhile, the still vast army of Wanderers easily crossed these suddenly ineffective defenses, like a breaking deadly flood, rushing straight into the heartland of Human city-states!

This abrupt upheaval cast the Human city-states, who were immersed in the joy of victory and longing for a stable future, from heaven into hell. The terrifying gap between hope and reality nearly shattered everyone's emotional defenses.

They had indeed defeated the Chaos Faith that had lingered for millennia, vanquished Alien Race Civilizations with glorious histories.

Indeed, they had forged an unprecedentedly beautiful situation!

Why has the end of the world arrived in such an abrupt and despairing manner?

They saw hope, yet waited for the fragmentation of hope!

When Wanfeng City fell, the tragic news of countless compatriots sacrificed arrived. Resentment, anger, hatred, despair... various extreme emotions surged and fermented across all the city-states, almost exploding all order and rationality.

In response to this world-sweeping ultimate disaster, the reactions of Human Heroes differed, yet they made the same choice.

They struck out, deployed to the most dangerous front lines, rescuing as many trapped people as possible!

The Jing Tie Hero took the lead, guiding the Knight Order towards the fallen zone, carving out temporary shelters amidst the scarlet tide.

The Law Hero Chang Hui lead the law civilians, setting up barrier after barrier, attempting to buy precious time for evacuation operations.

Other Heroes also exhibited their capabilities, either repelling the flood of Wanderers or organizing the evacuation of civilians.

No hesitation, no retreat.

Even though they knew this might be a journey with no return, they still forged ahead without reserve.

They are Human Heroes, when the apocalypse arrives, they became the final backbone of this land.

On the main Battlefield, the vast army of Wanderers still frenziedly assaults the Abyss Defense Line. With a severe shortage of defending personnel, Li Ye once again deployed the Heroic Spirit Sea.

Dawn and Zhu Ye appeared in response to the call, stepping onto this scorched earth anew.

Yet the faces of the two heroic spirits were equally grave. As Dawn appeared, he immediately sensed the overwhelming, almost corporeal despair. Such extreme despair easily gave rise to the faith of the green flame, but also indicated that the situation had reached the extremity.

In Zhu Ye's eyes, the cycles of day and night were more rapid than ever before. As the most lethal Champion in human history, all his glory came from slaughter, exterminating the Forbidden Zone Army, killing the Chaos Demon Army, defeating Supreme, and slaying Princes.... As if once he stands on the Battlefield, all formidable foes would ultimately be swept away.

However, pure slaughter could not solve the problem at hand.

They had already slain all visible great enemies of Humanity, with one battle determining the earth!

Yet the steps of doom did not halt because of that. Even though they wield unmatched strength, they feel the powerless unease in drawing their swords and looking around.... This is the cruel reality they cannot alter, even with their full power.

Who can truly kill... the malice of the entire world?

"Xia Ming, did you... foresee this step?" One Human Hero spoke hoarsely, his tone filled with indescribable fatigue.

"I never believed in so-called prophecies." Xia Ming sighed quietly: "But this prophecy let our compatriots grasp a visible hope in the darkness.... So, I never publicly denied its authenticity either."

He paused, his voice sinking: "Even till now, deep inside, I still hope the prophecy is true. But sadly... our hope, shattered."

"Xia Ming, faced with such a crisis, do you have a strategy to cope?" Holy Hero Su Qiao asked solemnly, simultaneously nodding slightly towards Zhu Ye.

The other three Heroes also looked towards Xia Ming in unison. They gathered here precisely to seek the final chance of survival, otherwise, they would still be fighting desperately on the front lines.

But... where can the rescued civilians be settled? This requires Xia Ming's judgment. It is undeniable, he is indeed the most wise scholar of this world.

"Our White Stone City has indeed been secretly developing Floating Island technology." Xia Ming finally spoke, his words filled with heaviness: "But it's still at the experimental stage, and every Floating Island requires Great Divine Power Users controlling a Miracle as its core energy source to maintain operation."

Li Ye's heart trembled upon hearing this.

A Floating Island? Raising an entire island into the sky?

It is known that the Crimson Curse devours the land and sea. If it could remain suspended in the sky long-term, perhaps it could truly avoid the curse's erosion!

Indeed, similar creations exist in the real world.

The Forbidden Zone named "Suspended Island" is renowned for its Floating Island technology, with numerous Floating Islands within used as war fortresses and family territories. He never expected that in this world where Divinity has been completely locked away, such an astonishing technological concept could still be conceived.
