196: Burning young people! Enter the path of the Three Gods!
Shen Yuxi never expected.
In this darkest moment.
These young people, who were under the key protection of Xia Country.
Would actually step forward.
They gathered at the entrance of the Expedition Academy. Shen Yuxi glanced over and saw about dozens of Glazed Realm Martial Artists. These were all Geniuses of Xia Country, Junior-year talents from various academies across the nation. The strongest among them were likely the likes of Shen Xingchen.
Given Shen Xingchen's age and strength, he was actually already qualified to step onto the battlefield, but he had been delayed due to some matters.
"Finally made it in time." Some people smiled, looking at the gradually brightening sky, clearly having rushed over hastily.
"Young Miss Shen, Grandmaster Shen is in trouble. As people of Xia Country, it is our duty. Please take us with you."
These young people exchanged glances.
They all saw the fervor in each other's eyes.
To step onto the battlefield.
Is always the destiny of a Martial Artist.
"But..." Shen Yuxi hesitated. She was deeply moved. Honestly, at this moment, she suddenly realized how glorious and fortunate it was to be born in Xia Country.
In the most desperate.
Most helpless times.
These young people all stepped forward.
At that moment, the teacher from the Expedition Academy also came out. Seeing so many young people gathered here, he was briefly stunned, his eyes growing slightly moist.
"You all..."
"Even if we Martial Artists of Xia Country die on the battlefield, we wouldn't want you, so young, to directly enter the fray."
The Ancient God Forest was in turmoil.
Young people could enter it.
Because the Ancient God Forest was controllable.
Divided into three lines of defense.
These young people would only see blood, but wouldn't face great danger. The battlefield was different. The Purple God Clan was powerful. On the Border Battlefield, Human Race Martial Artists lived day to day. How could they feel at ease letting Xia Country's young people also enter there?
"We will have to enter the battlefield eventually."
"Moreover, right now, Xia Country needs us. We enjoy the resources of Xia Country. How can we retreat to a safe zone? That would make me sleep uneasy." Someone said loudly, their voice youthful, their aura powerful.
Their ages were roughly between twenty-two and twenty-five.
Shen Yuxi and the teacher were moved in their hearts.
Shen Yuxi bowed to them.
And those people all cupped their hands in return.
"Let's go."
"Once we escort you to the area currently defended by Xia Country on the Border Battlefield, our mission will be considered complete."
"Brother Shen, it'll be up to you then."
They knew that within the Purple God Clan, there were likely Grandmaster level powerhouses.
Otherwise, those advance squads from Xia Country wouldn't have all perished, with not a single one returning.
But they pressed forward without hesitation.
"The Three Gods Road is very complex, with connections in all directions. As long as we are clever and lucky, there is still great hope."
Shen Xingchen forced a bitter smile: "I hope I can withstand the pressure."
"Sigh, if he were here, it would be good."
"Him?"
Many people first showed confusion, then quickly realized who Shen Xingchen was referring to.
"Yes, if he were here, the Purple God Clan on the Three Gods Road would probably be like clay chickens and pottery dogs."
"That guy is a miracle in himself."
Shen Yuxi listened to their words.
Then, her heart stirred slightly.
Were they talking about Gu Chen?
She couldn't help but recall when she encountered the heretical attack by the Purple God Cult in the capital. If Gu Chen hadn't happened to be on that Bus, she likely would have been in grave danger.
Since then.
She occasionally contacted Gu Chen.
But after all, the two had only met by chance, so they didn't speak often. Occasionally, the atmosphere would even be a bit awkward.
But she would also pay attention to news about Gu Chen.
However, roughly every few days when she checked on Gu Chen's situation, he would have created a brand new miracle.
The Three Gods Road.
Actually resembled a spatial passageway more.
Only, its interior was extremely complex, with connections in all directions, like a starry labyrinth. One had to find the connection point between two spaces within the intricate routes to enter the spatial passageway.
The group thus set off.
Inside the Purple Profound Pavilion.
The old man also seemed to have made a certain decision.
"Then let them go. Xia Country will help open the Three Gods Road. These children are all good ones." The old man lay in his rocking chair.
This sentiment resonated.
The older generation hoped the children wouldn't face such a cruel battlefield so early.
But these children showed no fear of the battlefield.
At the critical moment.
They marched forward bravely, not retreating at all. An absurd online post had brought these young people together.
Is this the youth of Xia Country?
The old man even began to tremble slightly.
The Three Gods Road opened.
The young people of Xia Country disappeared at the entrance of the Three Gods Road.
"So this is the Three Gods Road?" The young people, coming to this interconnected Three Gods Road for the first time, found it to be a vast starry route, with small mountains linked together, making the place extremely eerie.
They walked within the Three Gods Road.
Vigilantly looking around.
"Remember the surrounding routes, each intersection. Once danger appears, scatter and flee." Shen Xingchen said quietly.
"The Purple God Clan must have set up an ambush. I can feel it. From the moment we stepped in here, we've been under observation."
And at that moment, in a place they couldn't see.
Pairs of gloomy eyes watched this place.
"They've finally entered."
"Right? Is it her? Are you sure you haven't mistaken her?"
"Yes, it's her. We've fought Shen Qingchen for so many years. The aura emitted by Shen Qingchen's Frost Gene, I would never mistake it. That is Shen Qingchen's only Bloodline within Xia Country. We once mobilized those scum from the Purple God Cult to carry out an assassination attempt on her, but it failed."
"As long as we control the Bloodline on her, combined with the Royal Blood we collected from ambushing Shen Qingchen, we can extract Gene Cells from it. Then, by fusing the Gene Cells from two generations, perhaps we can unlock a Gene Talent for our Purple God Clan."
The Purple God Clan had no Gene Talent.
They enhanced their own Bloodline.
Through constant plundering and expansion.
And over all these years.
They had also been continuously experimenting.
Never giving up.
They coveted the Frost Gene intensely, so they wanted to conduct special experiments to see if, using the ever-advancing Gene Technology of the Purple God Clan, they could activate a Gene Talent for the Purple God Clan.
You must know, the reason they are currently stronger than Xia Country.
Is only because their Purple God Clan has existed for a sufficiently long time.
Their Martial Artist society has developed over a long period.
Once given development time, a high-talent race like theirs, capable of unlocking genes, would have an immeasurable future.
Which would bring a huge crisis to the Purple God Clan.
"The Frost Gene has extremely tenacious vitality, and its gene strength is terrifying. If we can truly obtain Gene Cells from two generations, then perhaps we really can succeed."
