Chapter 882: Chapter 478 Tides are Coming_2

More than two years ago, the Blazefire Secret Realm was promoted to the eighth tier, and the number of Oasis allotments subsequently increased from six to twelve.

Naturally, Blazefire also secretly strategized across many locations, incorporating and operating various Oases.

To this day,

Blazefire’s own ninth-tier Oasis remains singular, but they possess a total of eight Oases of the seventh and eighth tiers. This number is not inferior to that of human Overlord powers, and is somewhat stronger than the likes of the Red Sand Nation.

"To avert the tipping of the heavens, one must first have the power to counter... at least to withstand the Evil God, and secondly, one must be able to salvage the life force of the Ghastly Realm."

The key lies in the Oases.

Oases are the Ghastly Realm’s means of self-rescue. Clearly, nurturing more Super Oases benefits the Ghastly Realm greatly.

Among the newly included Oases, Fang You thought it over and did not choose to proliferate across the Ghastly Realm indiscriminately, he selected the Oases within the bounds of the Eastern Ghastly Realm.

Specifically, those closer to the Fallen Star Domain, excluding some from the Great Domains surrounding the Shattered Sea.

"However, upgrading an Oasis is easy, but its management and construction are much more challenging."

An Oasis needs to maintain a certain permanent population.

Since there are long-term residents, he must ensure the safety of these pioneer settlers and fortify the Oasis like a bastion.

This is no easy task.

The Overlord powers’ several Super Oases are, after all, located within the same domain, which makes mutual aid more feasible. In contrast, Blazefire’s Oases can only look at each other across vast domains, and traveling back and forth takes a considerable amount of time.

Oh, they also have Secret Realm passages? Then there’s nothing to worry about.

But an Oasis needs to have a permanently stationed garrison and accompanying Legendary Tier defense mechanisms. These are indispensable.

Due to the dispersal of resources and energy across various locations, the development and enhancement of the second Oasis, ’Blazefire,’ have been somewhat slower. More than two years have passed, and Blazefire Oasis is just a hair’s breadth away from ’eighth-tier completion.’

"However, the City of Raging Flame is already the most flourishing large city in the entire Fallen Star Domain, and even among the dozen surrounding Great Domains."

Hundreds of large commerce guilds have established branches in the Blazing Fire Mall. They come from dozens of Great Domains around and focus their commerce guild operations on the Blazefire Oasis.

They simply must cling closely to this colossal vessel that is Blazefire if they wish to expand.

Although the Blazefire Commerce Guild might fall short of the Four Overlords of the Broken Sea, in the eyes of various domains and nations, it is already a behemoth.

If the power of the Blazefire Commerce Guild were comparable or slightly superior to theirs, they might envy the profits of Blazing Fire Mall, but with Blazefire’s power towering above theirs, they have only one thought...

Cling tightly to the powerful!

With constant investment from commerce guilds across various domains, the construction of Blazing Fire Mall has also been very rapid. Blazefire itself doesn’t need to invest too much manpower or material, as selling land suffices.

This not only earns them land revenue but also lets others build up the mall, creating a win-win situation.

Hence, the grandeur of Blazing Fire Mall is comparable to that of the pre-promoted City of Starfire, but the total investment is only less than one-fifth, still bringing in a steady income for Blazefire.

Following the model of Blazing Fire Mall, Blazefire has constructed two more malls in the Eastern Ghastly Realm.

The goal is to facilitate construction.

Otherwise, in just over two years, for Blazefire to build several Super Cities would be exceedingly difficult. Many of these cities’ constructions still don’t meet the seventh-tier standard.

Blazing Fire Mall is sufficient, even far exceeding the eighth-tier standard.

Land within the Oasis is hard to come by, even plots located on the outermost, remote areas of the mall are fiercely contested by many merchants.

There have even been large merchants jointly requesting the mall to expand.

After all, within the range of the Oasis outside the city walls, there is still much land that can be utilized! If Blazing Fire Mall were unpopulated, that would be one thing, but with the mall thriving and shops abound, for Blazefire Commerce Guild not to continue expanding and earn more profits... this baffles many.

Blazefire Commerce Guild clearly loves money!

"Of course, much Oasis land must be reserved, so it can harvest Destiny Points with maximum efficiency when the Mysterious Evil besieges."

"Blazefire Oasis can also start preparing for the promotion war."

War supplies and deployment of devices are already prepared.

Blazefire has the experience and possesses a strength far surpassing that of three years ago, handling the promotion war would be effortless.

However, since Blazing Fire Mall is an Oasis with significant trade volume, before the promotion war begins, they must notify various commerce guilds within the city to make preparations.

"The time is set for 45 days later... Wait."

He suddenly felt a tremor.

The strings of fate undulated irregularly.

Fang You opened his eyes, looking toward the Ghastly Realm shrouded in vast darkness.

"It’s a sign."

"The second sign, the impact, is about to arrive."

...

Central Ghastly Realm, along the boundary.

The gray fog is dark and thick, spreading a sinister aura with terrifying giant shadows appearing intermittently within the fog.

"Seven Stars Mysterious Evil, Eight Stars Mysterious Evil, Eight Stars Mysterious Evil..."

"The number of High-Rank Strange Evils seems to have increased; surely, it is not just the old man’s illusion?"

A spirited elder, stroking his long white beard, made a jest.

But by his side, another slightly younger sage, seemed unable to grasp the humor as he stared into the distant murky grey, his expression growing more solemn.

"It’s probably not an illusion."

"!!!" The elder’s hand, still on his beard, suddenly stiffened. He widened his eyes, "Cang Tu, do you mean to say..."

"An omen?"

He tentatively asked.

Sage Cang Tu pondered for a while and nodded.

"I’m afraid it is an omen, the second awakening of the Evil God, and we shall face an even fiercer tide of disaster."

"So soon."

The elder... Sage Bai Yao was equally solemn.

The first disaster tide had greatly damaged the Seven Stars Alliance, and the loss to human power had been even more severe, including complete collapse of entire Great Domain human oases.

The second time, humans might be better prepared; however...

This disaster tide would inevitably be more fierce.

What weighed most heavily on Sage Bai Yao’s mind was that the interval between was too short.

Under the world’s care, humanity had indeed made significant progress in just a few short years, but compared to the increasingly imminent disaster, these advances seemed... all too trivial!

"But we have no choice."

"Indeed, but we mustn’t despair, I see a glimmer of hope."

Sage Cang Tu said, "Perhaps, the state of the Evil God is ailment, or perhaps there is some opportunity we have yet to find, or perhaps it’s related to the legendary tier ten oasis..."

Fate always leaves a glimmer of life.

He believed so.

Humanity often faced great calamities, but still proliferated from insignificance to dominance; he believed that no matter how great the disasters, humanity would not perish.

"This disaster tide, we must prepare for battle as soon as possible... Brother Bai Yao, let’s convene an alliance meeting."

Sage Cang Tu paused, "One more thing, the level nine oasis is the land of hope, but it is also a thorn in the disaster’s side; possibly, under the disaster tide, the level nine oasis will face an exceptionally fierce impact."

"We must not take it lightly just because we hold the power of the level nine oasis."

"... Brother Bai Yao, please convey these words to the oases everywhere."

The two men glanced into the deep, unnamed terror of Ghastly Realm and turned to leave, their figures disappearing into the thick grey fog.

...

About the same time.

A vast realm comparable to the Shattered Sea, with nothing but ocean as far as the eye could see.

The Nine Seas Great Domain.

This was the core territory of the Sea Monster Empire.

The Sea Monsters, similar to humans, had their presence in many great domains, but over half of the Empire’s power was concentrated within the Nine Seas Great Domain.

Recently, the Empire had also advanced multiple level nine oases.

That day, a voice came from the imperial palace.

"Prepare for battle, let the Evil God’s servants and attendants come without return!"

...

The Wild Beast Territories.

They held territories even broader than the Sea Monster Empire, and correspondingly, their power was more dispersed.

Their power was concentrated within three great domains.

With the three strongest tribes held in high regard.

"High Priest, are you saying that the disaster tide is approaching?"

"High Priest need not worry, my Black Blood Tribe has millions of brave warriors, we’ll shred all disasters to pieces!"

"Fight! Fight!"

...

Spirit Court.

Of the Four Overlords—human, sea monster, wild beast, element—the element kind had the fewest members.

Some royal families within the Court had only tens to hundreds of members.

However,

"Our Spirit Court is the most united, and our power is the most concentrated."

"Comparatively, humans are the most intelligent species, but their power is dispersed. With this approach, human forces will only suffer heavy losses under the tide’s assault."
