147: Chapter 147 Conquering the Three Realms, Three Hundred Thousand Territories

The Origin storms of the three alien Divine Kingdoms converged, and the gray-green, earthy-yellow, and dark-blue air currents swept across the firmament. Broken reefs detached from the seabed and were hurled in all directions with the storm.

The Main Gods fell, and the Divine Kingdom Laws disintegrated. Seawater poured backward and overflowed the river channels, Ore veins tore through the crust and arched out of the surface, and alien island cities and White Bone Altars collapsed in pieces.

The three Origins squeezed each other, churning out hundreds of wind pillars reaching the sky. The wind pillars rolled over the seabed, and the fine steel Formation piles on the periphery of the Immortal Martial Legion shook violently along with them.

Wang Mu stood at the main platform of the Formation tower, hands swiftly toggling the main Formation Plate as seventeen military orders were issued one after another. The Formation Hall threw out backup Formation bases to stabilize the defense line, the Artillery Battalion pushed heavy artillery back, and the heavy Shield Soldiers stepped forward to form Formations, protecting the wounded behind them.

Wang Pingan stood with his hands behind his back at the center of the storm, the borders of the 180,000-square-kilometer Divine Kingdom wide open. The golden divine fire turned into a long bridge, piercing straight into the hinterlands of the three alien Divine Kingdoms along the cross-border passage.

The Divine Kingdom Origins pressed up with the momentum, while the three ownerless alien Laws repelled and resisted on their own. If forcefully annexed, the riotous power would first crush the passage and then tear apart the new Human Race soil.

Wang Pingan looked up at the storm filling the sky, his Divine Thought covering and pressing down, penetrating the broken earth veins to firmly lock onto the three alien Origin cores.

"Formation Hall, raise the traction Formation and eat them all."

Wang Mu turned to face the Formation Hall, waving the command flag in his hand heavily. "Reverse the main Formation Plate! Change the Nine Suns Heaven-Locking Formation into the Source-Swallowing Formation, lock down the Three Realms earth veins, and connect to the Divine Kingdom Passage!"

Tens of thousands of Formation Masters dropped into various Formation positions, and the golden patterns on the Formation Plates in their hands shone brightly. The Formation patterns of the thirty-six branch Formations intertwined, turning the defense barrier into a traction passage.

The Nine Suns Heaven-Locking Formation roared as it rotated, the nine Formation suns contracting and collapsing inward, swirling up a devouring vortex covering tens of thousands of miles in the center of the Formation.

The bottom of the vortex led directly to the Human Race Divine Kingdom, and the golden Origin spread along the Formation patterns, forcefully penetrating the broken sea area and stabbing deep into the alien earth veins like a sharp blade.

The first deep-sea earth vein broke out of the ground, and the gray-green Origin torrent washed open the seabed, pouring backward into the Human Race Divine Kingdom along the Formation passage.

The new soil boundary met the Origin impact, mountains rose abruptly from flat ground, and river channels were forcibly diverted. The Spiritual Veins below the Ancestral Court roared in response, and the territorial map rapidly expanded outward.

Wang Pingan urged the Law, and the golden divine fire swept through the water Origin, burning away the alien marks completely, after which the pure power was sprinkled across mountains, Ore veins, and plains.

The surviving alien Origins violently counterattacked. The dark blue sea area rolled up hundreds of feet of wave walls, the earthy yellow mountains broke away from the crust and smashed toward the passage, and the gray-green poisonous fog flowed upstream along the traction Formation patterns.

The pressure on the Formation Hall increased abruptly, thousands of Formation Masters were sent flying by the backlash, and fine cracks burst out on the surface of the main Formation Plate.

Wang Mu gripped the command flag tightly without retreating half a step. "Send the wounded to the Medical Cultivator Camp, replacements take over the Formation! The Source-Swallowing Formation is not allowed to stop, anyone who dares to cut off a single Formation position will be recorded with a major demerit by the Military Law Hall!"

Reserve Formation Masters filled the vacancies, and the spiritual light of the thirty-six branch Formations rose again. The Nine Suns Heaven-Locking Formation accelerated its operation, and the devouring vortex swept outward.

An hour passed in the outside world, and the Divine Kingdom boundary had crossed from 180,000 square kilometers to 200,000 square kilometers, with the newborn plains bordering the old soil and spreading into the distance.

Wang Mu stared at the territorial changes on the Formation Plate and waved his command flag repeatedly. "Diversify the northern Spiritual Qi into three routes for drainage! Press the eastern Ore veins into the ground! Empty the western seawater, don't let the alien water veins wash away the new soil!"

The administrators of the Twelve Study Cities received the order, and tens of thousands of citizens rushed to the new soil. The Formation Masters reshaped the earth vein nodes, and the Spirit Planting Department stood by along the way with seed carts.

Alien seawater poured in backward, and Wang Pingan channeled the power of the Law to suppress the water momentum. The Pure Yang divine fire reached into the bottom of the water, stripping away the toxins and corrosive power layer by layer.

The toxins in the dark blue sea area faded away, and the turbid seawater turned into clear streams, pouring into the plains along the newly dug river channels. The old toxic sea dried up, exposing the craggy seabed.

The earthy yellow mountains were uprooted, and Ores and sediment squeezed into the passage. The Formation Hall guided the landing point, re-stratified the mountain bodies, and pressed them into the underground of the new territory.

The gray-green island cities lost their earth vein support, and their city walls, palaces, and altars collapsed with a roar. Intact Spirit Stones, Ore piths, and basalt building Materials were loaded onto carts by logistics soldiers and transported to the Divine Kingdom's grand treasury.

The devouring continued for ten days, and the Divine Kingdom territory pushed outward again, its area soaring from 200,000 square kilometers to 250,000 square kilometers.

Wang Pingan's divine core shook successively, and the golden divine fire covered the entire territory. Every inch of newborn soil was deeply branded with the Human Race's Law imprints.

Large chunks of Origin remaining from the alien Divine Kingdoms, the deep-sea Ore piths, and the three top-grade Spiritual Veins were particularly tricky. They were tightly entangled deep in the broken earth veins, and their traction resistance far exceeded that of ordinary spiritual items.

Wang Mu stepped into the new soil and inspected forty-six earth vein nodes in a row. The Formation Plate data showed that if the three top-grade Spiritual Veins were connected to the Ancestral Court at the same time, the earth veins would definitely break due to pressure overload.

He looked up at the divine fire flowing in the firmament. "Divine Lord, the three top-grade Spiritual Veins have been locked. But they are entangled with the alien residual earth veins, and forced transplantation will inevitably suffer a backlash."

Wang Pingan stood in mid-air in the Ancestral Court, his Divine Thought probing deep into the Spiritual Veins to capture the hidden alien Laws, and the Time Authority suddenly activated.

The flow of time around the Spiritual Veins plummeted, and the violent earth vein backlash was forcibly disassembled into hundreds of segments. The destructive power that was originally about to erupt together dissipated one by one like unwinding silk from a cocoon.

Wang Pingan guided the Divine Kingdom Origin to wrap around the roots of the Spiritual Veins, using the Pure Yang fire to remove the alien marks segment by segment. The three Spiritual Veins were cut into nine segments and smoothly connected to the Ancestral Court's earth veins.

Wang Mu waved his command flag again. "Formation Hall, secure the Spiritual Veins! Hundred Arts Hall, prepare the vein-sealing Materials! Spirit Planting Department, clear out the northern part of the Ancestral Court; no one is allowed to approach the transplantation area!"

Tens of thousands of citizens moved according to the order, and vein-sealing Formation patterns were branded all over the ground. The nine segments of Spiritual Veins sank into the depths of the Ancestral Court one after another, and golden Spiritual Qi broke through the ground, pouring into the Twelve Study Cities like a thick fog.

The deep-sea Ore piths followed closely behind, and the black-blue Ore veins crossed the boundary and smashed into the new soil. Hundreds of thousands of Casting Workshop artisans entered the arena with iron hammers, knocking down mining and refining nodes along the trend of the Ore veins.

Wang Pingan did not swallow the Ore piths completely. The Pure Yang divine fire first swept over the Ores, melting the toxins into black smoke. The purified concentrates were sent in batches to the Casting Workshop and the military equipment grand treasury.

The Immortal Martial Legion took over the new soil. Wang Shan, carrying the crimson flame saber, led the wounded soldiers across various positions to confirm that no alien remnants were lurking in the earth veins, and then turned his hand to heavily insert the Human Race military flag into the center of the new city.

The last sea area of the alien race was completely drained, and the old seabed collapsed into a vast plain. The grayish-black sludge was washed by the Divine Kingdom's Laws, losing its fishy stench and turning into fertile spiritual field subsoil.

Wang Mu's forehead was covered in sweat, his eyes fixed on the main platform's Formation Plate, and his hands constantly adjusted the direction of the Spiritual Qi. Between the Twelve Study Cities, the Hundred Arts Hall, the military camp, and the new plains, a brand-new Spiritual Qi transmission Formation network quietly took shape.

The Spiritual Qi in the center of the new soil suddenly rioted, and three Formation bases burst out with harsh screeches. The ground tore open a rift dozens of feet wide, and the residual power of the top-grade Spiritual Veins rushed straight to the Ancestral Court.

Wang Mu mobilized six thousand Formation Masters to suppress the rift, pointing his command flag at the Artillery Battalion. "Heavy artillery, switch to Law-breaking shells, shatter that mass of Spiritual Qi, and force the excess power into the northern mountains!"

Wang Pingan's Divine Thought covered the entire territory, and the Law of Time spread along the rift. The momentum of the Spiritual Vein eruption was frustrated, and the churning Spiritual Qi was forcibly pressed into the new earth vein cycle.

"Continue. Not a single bit of the alien Origin is allowed to remain."

Wang Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead indiscriminately and held the command flag high. The Formation Hall restarted the traction Formation, and the devouring vortex roared once again.

Fifteen days passed, and the Divine Kingdom territory climbed to 280,000 square kilometers, with the main territories of the three alien Divine Kingdoms fully annexed.

The residual Origin poured backward into the Ancestral Court, and the golden divine fire burned fiercely around the divine core. The power of civilization feedback surged like a tidal wave, and both the Immortal Martial Legion and the Hundred Arts Hall bathed in the grace of the Divine Kingdom's expansion.

The three Spiritual Veins returned to peace, and the deep-sea Ore piths steadily resided underground. The Spiritual Qi around the Twelve Study Cities grew as thick as fog, and on the new plains, the first batch of spiritual fields had already been properly cultivated.

The last strand of gray-green Origin was rolled into the vortex, and the boundaries of the alien Divine Kingdoms vanished into nothingness. The wreckage hovering in the Void Realm collapsed into debris all over the sky, scattering outside the new soil barrier.

Wang Pingan stood with his hands behind his back in the firmament of the Ancestral Court, his Divine Thought shrouding the 300,000-square-kilometer territory. Mountains, rivers, mining areas, and study cities were all under his control.

Wang Mu put away the command flag and stepped forward holding the half-drawn earth vein map. "Divine Lord, the three alien Divine Kingdoms have been annexed. The new soil still needs decades to sort out, and the diversion of Spiritual Qi must also be recalibrated."

Wang Pingan's gaze swept across the rolling plains in the distance. "Stabilize the earth veins. The legions return to camp for reorganization and training, and the spoils of war are stored according to the roster."

Wang Shan led three thousand Extreme Realm Martial Artists back to camp. The 50,000-strong Immortal Martial Legion removed their armor and rested, the Formation Hall entered to repair the damaged Formations, and the Medical Cultivator Camp carried the last batch of heavily wounded soldiers into the tents.

The alien remains scattered all over the ground were gathered and burned, and the three divine corpses were pasted with sealing talismans and sent to the grand treasury. The divine remnant weapons, altar bones, and deep-sea Ore piths were all registered and cataloged one by one by the scribes.

Wang Pingan reined in his Divine Thought, and the Divine Lord Panel lit up in front of him, clearly displaying the data after the territorial leap.

[Divine Kingdom Area: 300,000 square kilometers]

The plunder of foundations in this battle was enough to equal centuries of hard cultivation for others.

The Divine Lord Panel hung above the Ancestral Court, and the 300,000-square-kilometer territory completed its ownership, but less than seventy percent of the new soil was available for direct development by the citizens.

The three alien Divine Kingdoms perished, and the residual water, toxin, and gravity Laws were still crashing underground. River channels were diverted, Ore layers were fractured, and the nine segments of top-grade Spiritual Veins failed to settle down for a long time.

The Ancestral Court did not hold a celebration banquet. The 50,000-strong Immortal Martial Legion had just returned to camp from the battlefield when a military order sealing the new soil was issued, prohibiting anyone from entering unmapped areas without authorization.

On the periphery of the Twelve Study Cities, three new rivers successively bubbled with gray-green foam. The toxins deposited at the bottom of the rivers penetrated toward the old soil along the water veins, approaching the water-taking Formations of two nurseries.

In the northern mining area, the earthy-yellow gravity Law entrenched the fault. As a few mineral exploration artisans stepped into the cave, the tools on their shoulders sank into the ground on the spot.

The nine segments of top-grade Spiritual Veins beneath the Ancestral Court were particularly tricky. They carried the characteristics of alien earth veins, and whenever the Spiritual Qi tides converged, the city-protecting Formations of the Twelve Study Cities trembled simultaneously.

Wang Mu stepped into the main hall of the Ancestral Court holding the post-war master ledger, presenting casualties, military equipment losses, spoils of war, and new soil risks item by item to Wang Pingan's desk.

Wang Mu opened the master ledger: "In the battle of the Three Gods' siege, our army lost 537 men, over 2,400 were heavily wounded, and the number of slightly wounded has been re-verified by the Medical Cultivator Camp."

"The three alien divine corpses have been sealed. The deep-sea Ore piths, altar Materials, and alien military equipment wreckage have all been registered and stored in the treasury, and not a single piece has leaked out of the military's grand treasury."

As the pages turned, Wang Chuan's name was listed at the very top, and his military rank, military merits, and the process of guarding the seventh Formation eye were all recorded on the side.

"The number of casualties cannot be merged into military equipment losses." Wang Pingan's knuckles knocked on the desk, "They have names, families, and merits for fighting alongside the Divine Kingdom; this ledger must be kept separately."

The roster was passed over, and his gaze swept page by page along the more than five hundred names. The heads of the various departments in the hall remained silent, and Wang Shan also leaned his crimson flame saber against his side.

"Retain the name, military rank, and military merit of every fallen soldier. The Ancestral Court shall build a separate military merit roster; no one has the right to delete or modify it, and totals cannot be used as substitutes."

"The child-rearing, cultivation, study palace, and Medical Cultivator expenses of the families of the fallen shall all be borne by the Ancestral Court. Adult children participating in the Hundred Arts Hall assessment shall be selected based on ability as usual."
