142: Chapter 142 The Fall of the West: A Brutal Battle!

In the West.

Communication between the West and Great Xia was relatively restricted.

Therefore, the Western populace learned about the Civilization Assessment a few days later.

However, this did not affect the terrifying unrest currently gripping the West.

Aside from the inaction of the Western high-ranking officials,

it was largely due to the deeply ingrained hedonistic mindset of the Western populace.

In less than ten days,

the West had already descended into chaos.

Moreover, from the current situation, there was no sign of recovery.

Facing such a mess,

the Western high-ranking officials seemingly didn't want to manage it, all choosing to protect themselves and enjoy leisure in their large estates.

Deep Sea.

Among the Alien Race.

Ever since they had dealings with humans,

many among the Alien Race populace had already established contact with the outside world.

Thus, they gradually learned about the Civilization Assessment time announced by Great Xia.

Unrest was naturally inevitable.

However, soon,

the populace's unrest was suppressed.

There was no choice; the major families had gone mad with killing.

Anyone seen causing unrest or attempting to spread doomsday rhetoric would have their entire clan annihilated.

Such iron-fisted actions undoubtedly caused panic among most of the Alien Race commoners.

This also indirectly led to subtle divisions within the Alien Race.

However, this division was suppressed by force.

...

Time flew by.

Another half month passed.

Now, only half a month remained until the Civilization Assessment.

Under the emotional guidance of the high-ranking officials,

most of the Great Xia populace could now calmly face this assessment.

And just as the Great Xia populace quietly awaited the start of the assessment,

one day, suddenly,

all of Great Xia's coastlines began to see countless beast tides and figures of the Alien Race.

That's right.

Before the Civilization Assessment even began,

the great war between the two civilizations had already started.

"The Alien Race has indeed begun to act!"

"Notify everyone, send all Awakened Ones from the military regions to the coastlines for support, to resist the foreign enemy!"

In the Great Xia head of state conference room, Duke Yu quickly made adjustments to this.

And on Great Xia's major coastlines,

the battle situation was extremely tragic.

The Alien Race's natural advantage in physical strength made it impossible for many weaker Awakened Ones to resist.

The battle was almost entirely held by those stronger Awakened Ones.

But even these stronger Awakened Ones couldn't withstand the terrifying numbers of the Alien Race.

Moreover, there were endless beast tides.

As a result,

in just three days,

Great Xia's coastlines completely collapsed.

Countless coastal residents were displaced, some even becoming blood food for fierce beasts and the Alien Race.

The front line could only retreat to more inland areas.

The media now showed news of defeats and tragic live videos almost every day.

For a time,

panic quickly swept across all of Great Xia.

But soon,

after the panic reached its peak, the Great Xia populace began to transition from fear to anger.

The sentiment of fighting the enemy on the battlefield and defending the homeland began to dominate.

By the fifth day,

after all the teachers and students of North Emperor University announced their participation in the war,

a wave of national resistance began to sweep across Great Xia.

At this moment, all the people of Great Xia truly became united.

The continuously retreating front line,

also began to gradually stabilize because of this.

In contrast, the West.

The situation there became quite grim.

Less than three days after the Alien Race landed with their beast tides,

almost all Western countries had fallen.

Only a few noble factions with high-level combat power could still occupy a small area and barely survive, but it was inevitable that under the endless attacks of the beast tides, they wouldn't last much longer.

Soon,

upon learning that Great Xia had already withstood the Alien Race's invasion,

countless Western citizens hoped to escape to Great Xia.

However,

the coastlines had already been completely sealed off.

The West was now like an abandoned island, filled with fear and despair.

...

On the tenth day of the Alien Race's full-scale invasion of humanity,

the West completely fell.

Great Xia, on the other hand, barely held the front line through the continuous sacrifices of its entire populace.

However, overall, the situation was still not optimistic.

Deep Sea.

Inside a magnificent and splendid building,

"These humans are truly patient. Even with things like this, those high-level combat powers still haven't appeared!"

An Alien Race member with purple armor and dragon whiskers slowly spoke, exuding a murderous aura with every gesture, his presence extremely terrifying.

And not just him.

Every Alien Race member present also exuded immensely powerful auras.

Hearing his words,

all the Alien Race members present couldn't help but frown slightly.

As the decision-making body of the inner Oceanic Alien Race,

the reason they attacked humans,

was to draw out humanity's high-level combat powers.

That way, they would have a chance to eliminate a few human high-ranking officials before the Civilization Assessment.

Even if they couldn't eliminate them,

they could at least gain knowledge of themselves and their enemy.

When the Civilization Assessment arrived, they could gain an early advantage.

However,

things did not unfold as they had anticipated.

According to their research on humans, humans valued emotions. Now that the killing had reached this extent, high-level combat powers should have appeared like saviors long ago.

But currently, among the combat powers dispatched by humanity, the highest level was only a Quasi-God.

This was far from achieving the effect they desired.

Although they didn't care about the lives of ordinary Alien Race members, if this continued, ordinary Alien Race members would also develop emotions.

At that point, relying solely on force might not be enough to continue driving ordinary Alien Race members to fight.

"We haven't been ruthless enough. If you ask me..."

At this moment, an Alien Race member with a pair of Green Horns on his head slowly spoke, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

...

Two days later.

On Great Xia's internet,

videos began to spread like wildfire.

In the videos, the Alien Race piled up towers of human heads, impaling the bodies of the deceased with tentacles and using them as toys for amusement.

In some already fallen cities,

the tallest head towers had already reached ten stories high.

This shocking sight,

undoubtedly completely ignited the fury of the Great Xia populace.

Even some who were normally afraid of death were now gritting their teeth, eager to rush to the battlefield!

Now, Great Xia was filled with grief, indignation, and boundless fighting spirit.

"Damn it! These bastards!"

"I'm going to the front line, I'm going to skin them alive!"

"These animals!"

"I can't watch anymore! Let's fight them to the death!"

"If you don't want your family to become part of this, come with me to the front line!"

"Screw it! Even if I die, I'll take one with me!"

...
