A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 921 - 907: Retreat

The situation, which had already begun to calm down, suddenly became tense.

The gigantic black foot, after stamping down the first time, suddenly retracted and disappeared into the air. Yet, the originally flat ground now had a huge footprint, filled with many corpses of the Naga Race.

"What do you mean by this, Crescent Moon Envoy?"

Jem suppressed his anger with great effort. He knew the temper of the Naga Race—each one was brave and belligerent, and by now their anger was probably at its peak. It had been tough to bring the Naga Race and the Undead Race together for this invasion.

But now, if this unexpected event couldn't be handled, then this operation would truly be ruined.

"Hmph, you were attacked by the Black Moon Giant within the Black Moon Divine Country. The giants represent the will of the Black Moon, you hypocritical invaders!"

At this moment.

Fury rose in the heart of the Crescent Moon Envoy, who single-handedly charged towards the Naga Race.

And behind it, a group of Black Moon followers who had long since become fierce ghosts within the Black Moon Divine Country also began to strike, showing no mercy towards the Naga Race.

This current situation was no longer for Baiyu to worry about.

Both sides began to fight desperately. Although the Black Moon side was at a numerical disadvantage, there was good news—they were not afraid of death.

These Black Moon followers would resurrect after death and return to the battlefield, achieving a truly perpetual motion system.

Baiyu guessed that this might be somewhat similar to the ghosts in the Reincarnation Ghost City; any differences would likely be essentially the same.

"Could it be that the Carefree Blessed Land is also a Divine Country after the fall of a divine spirit? If linked like this, there is indeed some similarity."

Baiyu pondered to himself.

The resurrection of these ghosts was likely consuming the power within the Divine Country. Now, the Naga Race was essentially opposing the entire power of the Black Moon Divine Country. Baiyu remembered that the Black Moon Divine Country had several layers, and only the final layer was where the Black Moon truly resided.

"To fight a deity head-on, so brave."

He marveled quietly in his heart.

Regardless of how it's viewed, the Black Moon was considered a formidable deity; based on Baiyu's understanding, it was at least on the level of the God of Steam and Machinery, possibly even higher. Moreover, the Black Moon wasn't dead.

The opponent was simply insane.

The Naga Race was indeed somewhat arrogant and oblivious to the situation.

Quickly, Jem, Skull King, and the leader of the Naga Race also realized something was amiss.

Continuing the fight like this.

Even if the black vortex wouldn't be closed and they could continually send reinforcements, there was still a limit.

The ghosts in this Divine Country couldn't be completely slain, it was endless.

And it seemed that the second and third world layers of the Divine Country had also started sending people to join the battle. Jem, who was somewhat familiar with the Black Moon Divine Country, silently cried out that things were not looking good.

The Black Moon Divine Country had a multi-layered world structure.

Usually, they didn't interact, they had no contact, and there was even some subtle hostility.

After all, these worlds were ruled by Gatekeepers, each one had been a subordinate of the Black Moon. Past grievances between them were normal.

But now.

Faced with foreign invaders, they began to unite, which made the Naga Race somewhat overwhelmed.

"Retreat, the current situation is no longer suitable for continued fighting, all Naga warriors, retreat!"

Soon.

The leader of the Naga Race issued an order to retreat.

Continuing this battle was meaningless; fighting with these fearless Black Moon fanatics was like trying to reason with neighborhood committee ladies.

"Jem, I'm considering the necessity of further cooperation with the Life Church. Humans have mastered such terrifying tools as the Eye of the Black Moon, yet you kept it from us. I am very angry and will stop providing the Life Church with protection."

The leader of the Naga Race said coldly.

Jem's face looked grim; he wanted to curse out this blue-skinned shrimp, saying what does it have to do with him when it was obviously them who were tricked by humans wielding the Eye of the Black Moon.

Fortunately, the Skull King quickly mediated: "This isn't Jem's fault. The main issue is the cunning, despicable human lurking in the darkness. He deliberately used the Eye of the Black Moon to send our teleportation gate into the Black Moon Divine Country.

This human is extremely cunning. If it weren't for him, we would surely be at the edge of the Great City by now.

By then, using the Life Church's sealing objects, we could definitely achieve our goal.

What a pity..." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The Skull King was upset. For this invasion, it had provided the Naga Race with a valuable ten thousand Undead warhorses, which were the elite steeds of the Undead Race, not some common goods that could be easily produced.

Hoping to make a big profit this time.

But now everything had fallen through.

Their several Eclipse Moon level powerhouses didn't strike again, and even if they could defeat the Crescent Moon Envoy, they would still have to face the Gatekeepers, who were all at the Eclipse Moon level.

This level of battle.

A slight oversight could lead to eternal damnation.

Yet, these Gatekeepers in the Black Moon Divine Country could rely on the power of the Black Moon to resurrect once more, making it utterly impossible to fight.

It's like playing King of Fighters; if your opponent has unlimited coins, no matter how skilled you are, you'd be worn down.

Moreover.

No one dared claim they could assuredly defeat these Gatekeepers.

The retreat of the Naga Race proceeded smoothly; no more Naga troops poured out from the black vortex, and instead, large detachments of Naga forces began rushing into the black vortex, disappearing altogether.

The Naga Race's battleships also gradually vanished into the vortex.

Upon seeing this, Baiyu knew he had achieved his goal, and so he ceased the power of the Eye of the Black Moon and quietly severed the connection between the Divine Country and reality.

As long as this was done.

The Black Moon Divine Country could return to the Tidal World once again.

However.

When severing the connection, the Gatekeeper still stood in place, gazing skyward with a thoughtful look.

Baiyu's heart skipped a beat.

The opponent was an Eclipse Moon level powerhouse with a long lifespan, even though isolated from the world for years, they were still a sly old fox. Their earlier aggression was entirely because the Naga Race had hit their bottom line.

The opponent surely realized they were being used.

It seems that frequent use of this method must be approached cautiously, otherwise, it could backfire horribly. If he ended up in the hands of the Crescent Moon Envoy, his fate would probably be worse than death.

"Looks like I need to wait till I reach Eclipse Moon level before officially making contact here."

Baiyu pondered inwardly.

Eclipse Moon.

This was a watershed moment.

Soon, as the dense fog dispersed, Baiyu found himself back in a deserted wilderness where the train had halted, but all the surrounding passengers had disappeared. Clearly, these people had already scattered and begun returning to the Great City.

The situation here should be handled by people from the Great City.

However.

Baiyu thought of a crucial question—how was he going to reach the Free Federation now?

Baiyu cast his gaze on the train.
