Now that his True Body had returned, Lin Xiao himself was already preparing to launch a counterattack.

The fact that the God of Light had made the first move was a surprise, but merely a surprise.

The Fifth War Fortress of the Ground Dweller Empire, located somewhere on the first layer of the Dark Territory, was positioned precisely at the only exit connecting the surface to the underground.

If the Ground Federation Army wanted to attack underground, they had to breach the fortress’s defenses.

Since the passageway was less than one square kilometer in area, it could accommodate only a limited number of troops for deployment, making it impossible to launch a large-scale offensive.

The only option was to use attrition tactics, sending squadrons one by one into a brutal grind.

The fortress housed a vast number of Ground Dweller Mages and Priests, including legendary powerhouses.

...

Whenever the Ground Federation Army sent elite teams to attack, it was like sending meat buns to a dog – they never returned.

This situation was playing out across all the major fortresses, each of which was essentially equipped the same.

Unless the True Gods intervened personally, the Ground Federation Army had virtually no chance of breaking into the underground.

After centuries of establishing their stronghold, the entire Dark Territory could be said to be impregnable and flawless.

As Lin Xiao had anticipated, the conflict had continued unabated for nearly five years, and the Ground Federation Army had yet to capture a fortress.

As casualties on the surface forces mounted, some Surface True Gods began to lose patience.

Traces of True Gods began to appear on the front line battlefields.

Although they were not directly engaging in combat but providing minimal assistance, it seemed that the day they would take action was not far off from their various activities.

Lin Xiao recognized at a glance that these were the True Gods, sons of the Insect Tribe Divine Realm; only they enjoyed escalating matters.

However, Lin Xiao did not wait for that day.

Previously, he could only hunker down and defend due to insufficient strength, but now that his True Body had returned, and he had inherited followers with six Powerful Divine Powers, it would be foolish to continue lying low.

But the one to take action was not the Incarnation located in the Giant Divine Crystal Wall System, but his True Body.

In two years, not only had his subordinates arrived, but the Truth Temple had also been moved there.

At this moment, the Truth Temple, under the guidance of six Powerful Divine Powers, had already integrated the dilapidated Myriad Manifestation Crystal Wall System into the temple, transforming it into an independent Crystal Wall System.

However, there were no planes within it, only a vast expanse of Starworld void.

That’s right, a Starworld void, not the void within the Crystal Wall Universe, which could only accommodate souls and spiritual beings, as life could not survive there for extended periods.

All the fragments of the God corpse-planes and so on that were originally stored inside had been crushed and refined into energy and matter.

The energy was stored, while the matter was reconfigured into floating lands of various sizes scattered throughout this void, which he named the Realm of Truthstar, kept for future use.

Lin Xiao didn’t have a complete concept of the actual size of the Truth Temple before, but today he had an idea.

The exterior of the temple, a model combining a temple and a grand castle, was docked at the edge of the Outpost Base.

It looked like a ping-pong ball placed next to a small room, where the Outpost Base was the ping-pong ball and the Truth Temple was the house.

In reality, this was not the Truth Temple’s final state; it was still incomplete and could not yet assume its ultimate form.

But even in its current form, it easily overshadowed the Outpost Base.

Such a massive Temple-type fortress docked at the edge of the Giant God Crystal Wall attracted much attention.

It had been docked for less than an hour when Lin Xiao, seated within the temple, used the fortress’s enhanced sensory capabilities to detect scouts from the Nightmare and Insect Races lurking in the distant void.

But he paid them no mind.

What did it matter if they were discovered?

By the time they could mobilize reinforcements from the Main World, it would be too late.

Just as it took him a considerable amount of time to call his combat teams from the Main World, the same was true for other Divine Realm civilizations.

After only two hours of docking, the Truth Temple left the Outpost Base and steered along the edge of the Giant God Crystal Wall towards the nearest Nightmare Divine Realm civilization’s Outpost Base.

Stopping at a distance of millions of kilometers from it, Lin Xiao, lounging at the central grand platform of the command core, was surrounded by screens of light.

One of them displayed the Outpost Base of the Nightmare Divine Realm civilization and its surrounding void, showing countless tiny light points rapidly flying in all directions from the Outpost Base.

These were the retreating normal sons of the Nightmare Divine Realm.

Meanwhile, the military force stationed at the Outpost Base activated layer upon layer of defensive barriers around it.

Likewise, oddly-shaped Void Ships brought up their defenses and docked at the edges of the Outpost Base, ready for a last stand.

Seeing all this, Lin Xiao stroked his chin and chuckled, “I was just thinking about finding a chicken to show the monkeys, but the chicken has come to me.”

Inside the fortress, apart from the six Guardian Divinities, all the subordinates from the Giant God Combat Team had been moved over.

There were only 46 True Gods, including the thirty-one inherited from the previous regiment and those cultivated over the past few centuries.

Beyond that, there were more than eighty thousand reservists, including over twelve thousand High-Level Demigods, fifty thousand Normal Demigods, with the remainder being Divine Beings.

These Demigods had been taken into the planes inside the Truth Temple.

Currently, a large number of Demigods were needed to redevelop the many planes within the Truth Temple.

Once the Giant God Crystal Wall System was unified, a large number of followers would need to be relocated from the Giant God Crystal Wall System to develop these planes.

The subordinates were still immersed in the enormity and power of the Truth Temple, and the strength Lin Xiao now commanded gave them immense confidence and anticipation.

Hearing his words, they all shouted back eagerly:

“`

“Commander, please issue the order to render these other races their apocalyptic Judgement!”

Lin Xiao looked toward Boris, the God of Storms and Lightning, who sat upon one of the divine thrones below him, and said:

“I’ll have to trouble you with this!”

Boris nodded:

“Your Majesty, rest assured!”

Finishing his words, he stretched out his right hand, and endless lightning flew into the blazing Chaos Flames at the center of the command platform.

In the next second, a ripple appeared in the part of the void facing the Outpost Base of the Nightmare Divine Realm civilization shielded by a formidable barrier.

The ripples quickly expanded to a diameter of more than ten kilometers, and in the next second, the vast space suddenly collapsed inward.

A blindingly bright stream of lightning erupted, forming a straight trajectory through the void, instantly piercing millions of kilometers and striking the Nightmare civilization’s Outpost Base.

“Boom!”

Boundless energy manifested as waves of energy that bloomed, pressing down layer upon layer in the void and radiating outward, leaving a clear void tens of thousands of kilometers wide.

The defensive barrier of the Outpost Base hit directly by the blast collapsed after roughly two seconds, the infinite lightning energy hammering into the base.

Accompanied by blasts and a sky of intense flames, streaks of light flew out from within.

At this time, the bright white lightning torrent that pierced through the void began to slowly fade.

The might of a Rank 17 in God Level with the full force of Powerful Divine Power, further amplified by the Truth Temple, was comparable to a full-force attack by a Rank 19 Super Divine Power.

The base was destroyed with a single shot.

The Children of Nightmare stationed at the Outpost Base had not expected that its defensive barrier would crumble so easily, or perhaps they did not expect such a fierce attack from the enemy.

Caught unawares, their losses were substantial; nearly a fifth of a combat team fell in this single strike, and almost all of the survivors were injured.

But the key was the loss of their will to fight.

The totally overwhelming power stripped them of any willingness to continue the battle, and they fled in disarray.

Unfortunately, now the Giant God Combat Team only had a few big cats and kittens.

Otherwise, he would have definitely sent out the Void Fleet to wipe out the fleeing Sons of Nightmare Divine Realm.

Lin Xiao paid no attention to the crumbling remnants of the Nightmare Outpost Base; those could be salvaged later.

Instead, he steered the Truth Temple around the edge of the Giant God Crystal Wall, heading toward another Outpost Base belonging to the civilization of the Insect Tribe Divine Realm.

This time, it was Apobs, the strongest amongst the six Guardian Gods, the Sun and God of Light, who was at work.

With a God Level reaching Rank 18 and holding the priesthood of the Sun and Light, his full-force attack, once magnified by the Truth Temple, turned into a scorching torrent that directly melted away the Insect Tribe’s Outpost Base.

One shot, and more than half of the Sons of the Insect Tribe Divine Realm stationed at the base perished, a far greater loss than that of the Children of Nightmare.

As the owner of the Truth Fortress, Lin Xiao could experience, through the core Chaos Fireball, the Rules of the Godhood of Boris, the God of Storms and Lightning, and Apobs, the God of Sun and Light.

He knew how this Chaos Fireball could magnify their Strength.

He could adjust the magnification at will, and theoretically, he could reach the level where a full-force strike was comparable to that of Great Divine Power.

However, the Truth Temple was not yet complete and could not be magnified that many times over.

When the Truth Temple had circled halfway to reach the Outpost Base of the Soul Race, only an empty base remained.

Destroying the Outpost Bases of the Nightmare and the Insect Race, plus the travel time, had taken several hours.

Such terrifying attacks could be sensed from afar.

With the fates of the Nightmare and the Insect Race clear for all to see, the Soul Race would definitely flee if they weren’t too stubborn.

The forces of seven powerful beings of Divine Power plus a Super War Fortress—unless they fielded a regiment-level combat unit equipped with equivalent weaponry and were willing to lose at least half a dozen powerful beings of Divine Power, they stood no chance against the Truth Temple.

Obviously, given the value of the Giant Divine Crystal Wall System, it wasn’t worth such a great cost for them to stay.

Their withdrawal was both logical and predictable.

Destroying three Outpost Bases of the Nightmare civilization with ease and killing several hundred True God Level Sons wasn’t a small feat, unfortunately, there was nowhere to show off this victorious accomplishment.

Although his three girlfriends were all part of the brigade, serving as the restructured leaders of the first, second, and third combat battalions, they weren’t here right now.

Shen Yuexin had gone back to request resources from her father; given her status, she would likely bring back quite a few valuables.

Xie Yufei also returned home to prepare for merging the Furious Flame Battalion into the Huge God Regiment to form its third combat battalion, at which point she would become the commander of the second combat battalion directly under the brigade and retain her position as leader of the Furious Flame Battalion.

Jin Sisi had gone back to manage the affairs of Radiance and also needed to inform her clan of her father’s whereabouts.

When they returned, the Huge God Regiment would have at least three combat battalions, barely meeting the minimum standards of a brigade.

The maximum standard for an independent brigade is no standard at all; normally, subordinate brigades are not to command more than ten combat battalions, but independent brigades have no such restrictions—if one has the capability and sufficient resources to build a hundred, no one would care.
