Chapter 1189 Constructing a Barrier
After leaving the shelter, Ye Ge led Ye Bing and Yu Li to meet up with Gao Shenxue and the others.
"Everyone, we are about to begin constructing the barrier."
Without further ado, Ye Ge raised his hand and waved it, instantly unfurling a huge holographic map made of light particles, visible to outsiders, in front of everyone.
Mountains, rivers, and the empire's territory are clearly visible, with seven star points, like the Big Dipper, prominently marked on seven key nodes of the Great Wall.
For this massive project concerning the future of humanity, he summoned many helpers to build the barrier.
Besides Ye Bing, Xue'er, Xi Yao, Han Han, Li Shuying, and Bai Qing, there are also Leng Yuening, Nangong Ru, Mu Jiannan, An Lingyue, Ao Xin, Jiang Xiaoming, Lin Chishang, and others...
Even Shen Tu from the Ye family, Ling and Huiyan from the Shadow faction, were all mobilized by him.
It's fair to say that Yege has brought together almost everyone who can contribute this time.
After a brief explanation of the situation, everyone understood the reason. Without further prompting, everyone nodded, indicating their full cooperation and assistance.
"The core of the barrier lies in the seven star points corresponding to the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions."
Night Song's fingers moved rapidly across the floating map, his fingertips tracing a dazzling trail of light along the winding Great Wall of the Empire: "We need to split into seven groups and start work simultaneously. Each group will be led by a core member who will command and coordinate magic-based extraordinary beings of the corresponding attributes to construct the barrier pillars at designated locations."
"Xue'er, Xiyao, Yebing, come with me and start building the barrier at the Heart Constellation point."
"Hanhan, Ququ, each of you lead 10,000 wind-attribute and sound-attribute magic-type extraordinary beings to the Tail Constellation point."
"Senior Sister Mu, Senior Sister An, Senior Sister Ao Xin, you guys take charge..."
Ye Ge quickly assigned everyone their assigned positions, then looked up at everyone and asked, "So, does anyone have any questions?"
"..."
The group exchanged glances, but no one spoke.
“Alright, let’s split up and prepare for action immediately,” Ye Ge said calmly.
"Wait a moment." A clear, cool voice, like an icy spring, came from outside.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bingxin, dressed in a plain white robe and surrounded by an ethereal aura, slowly stepping in. Leng Yue Ning was slightly taken aback: "Senior Aunt?"
Ye Ge showed no surprise, but instead revealed a faint smile, as if she had expected it: "Grand Enforcer Bingxin, what brings you here?"
Bingxin's clear gaze swept over the floating map and finally landed on Yege: "It seems that you are already aware of the anomalies of the Light Dawn Array."
“That’s right,” Ye Ge said frankly. “I also know about the news that the Temple of the Divine Officials has lost its divine favor and its divine power has been cut off.”
"..." Bing Xin was silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing deep in her icy blue eyes.
“It seems the Temple of the High Priests has no intention of repairing the Array of Light and Dawn, so we have no choice but to prepare for the worst.” Night Song spread his hands. “But anyway, I never expect the human race to rely on outsiders for protection.”
"..."
Bingxin paused for a moment, then said, "Then, include me, so that I may also do my part. After all, I am also a member of the human race."
"Of course I'm happy you're here to help." Ye Ge looked at her. "But are you really okay? Right now, you can't hear the divine voice, which means your divine power is irretrievable. Every bit you use is a bit less. If you help us build the Great Wall barrier, you might be permanently demoted from an eleventh-level priest to a zero-level priest."
"Even if I am reluctant to use it, divine power will eventually be exhausted in the process of passing away. Rather than watching it dissipate into nothingness, I would rather let it play its due value at this moment."
Bing Xin's expression remained unchanged, her tone calm yet firm: "Moreover, I am not merely a divine mage."
Ye Ge smiled and said, "That's right. I almost forgot that besides being an eleventh-level priest, you are also a senior cultivator at the Soul Emperor realm."
Bing Xin neither agreed nor disagreed, but slightly raised her head: "Then let's get started and assign me some work."
"Then you can come with me," Ye Ge said. "Let's go to the Heart Palace."
......
Half an hour later, Night Song and his group arrived at the Heart Constellation node, located at the easternmost end of the Imperial Great Wall.
Atop the majestic Great Wall, the scene was breathtaking. Over thirty thousand human magic-wielding extraordinary beings, clad in robes bearing different elemental insignia, stood in neat formations, awaiting their arrival. Their expressions were solemn, their gazes fixed intently on Ye Ge in the center. A vast yet restrained energy fluctuation permeated the air—an invisible tide formed by the interweaving and convergence of tens of thousands of soul energies of different attributes.
Bingxin, witnessing the massive and disciplined French legion before her, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise across her usually icy expression.
Even a senior like her had never seen such a grand spectacle, just to build a barrier!
Such a level of maneuverability was absolutely impossible for the human race in the past...
"So many magic-based professionals..." Bingxin looked at Yege: "How many people were used to build this barrier?"
Night Song: "If we don't count our main force, there are probably 300,000 people, including magic-type professionals with all elemental attributes: light, darkness, sound, ice, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, wind, and void."
Bingxin exclaimed in disbelief: "Three hundred thousand magic-based professionals?? When did the number of magic-based professionals among humans increase so much??"
Ye Ge smiled and said, "It's not that there are more magic-based professions, but rather that the population base of extraordinary individuals has increased."
He didn't explain further, but instead clasped his hands together and used telepathy to speak to the tens of thousands of human mages on the Great Wall: "Everyone, the barrier we are building this time is extremely important. It may concern the future of our Great Qin Empire, and even the entire human race, as well as the safety of seven or eight billion people. So thank you for your hard work. Wait for my signal, and each team will put their soul stones into the array device in front of them, and then pour their respective soul power attributes into the array together."
"We obey Lord Yege's command!!" Thirty thousand people responded in unison, their voices like thunder rolling across the sky, causing the ancient city walls to seem to resonate slightly.
Bingxin stood beside Yege, gazing at the disciplined and spirited legion with a complex and unreadable expression.
Has she been away from the human race for too long?
In Bingxin's memory, her impression of human soldiers was still based on the time when they secretly returned to the human race and Longhai was in power.
Centuries ago, she secretly returned to the Human Empire once. The group of undisciplined, even oppressive, imperial soldiers she encountered that time left a deep impression on her...
Or is it... all because of Night Song's influence?
"start!"
Ye Ge's command was like igniting a wildfire!
He took the lead in forming hand seals, and his soul power surged like a river, pouring into the core of the huge array plate beneath his feet! In an instant, the ancient runes engraved on the array plate lit up one by one, bursting out with dazzling light!
