Chapter 5 The Fifth Calamity

The Fifth Calamity had descended for almost half an hour. Ancient civilizations had fully revived, but contrary to expectations, the all-out war had not broken out.

Neither the Star Clan, the Apostles of the Night, nor Li Tianran had actively launched an attack on each other. Instead, they gathered their forces and began to frantically exploit the resources that had emerged alongside the Fifth Calamity during the "resource surge period."

And this was the outcome most people wanted to see.

After all, no one likes war.

Although they were well aware that the final victory would still be determined by a war, who would want to immediately face blood and fire if they could postpone it?

Finally, an hour after the complete revival of the ancient civilizations, Li Tianran slowly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It seems they won't launch a large-scale war for the time being."

Beside him, representatives from various countries hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and asking, "Governor Li, can we withdraw the troops from the border and have everyone participate in resource exploitation?"

Li Tianran shook his head upon hearing this. "I said they won't launch a large-scale war for the time being, but I didn't say they won't take any action against our defenses."

"I believe the apostles would be very happy to cause us some trouble in their spare time while collecting resources!"

Now that the ancient civilizations had revived, their terrifying aspects would slowly be revealed. For the human defenses, the apostles didn't need to launch a large-scale attack at all. They only needed to throw a technological product similar to the one that once spread the mental plague from afar, and it would be an irresistible disaster!

Although both sides were currently focused on collecting resources, if the apostles wanted to cause Li Tianran some trouble or create some attacks on the human defenses, they wouldn't need to mobilize a large force at all. They could just spare a very small part of their strength to turn the defenses upside down.

Therefore, although there would be no all-out war for now, the defensive forces on the front lines could not be withdrawn. In fact, they needed to be further strengthened because only in this way could the resource exploitation within the defensive lines be carried out smoothly and safely.

"During this time, I will make sure that all human members complete their evolution as soon as possible, and I will also promote technological upgrades as soon as possible..." Li Tianran took a deep breath. "In this era, ordinary creatures can no longer adapt to this harsh living environment, and even first-time evolved creatures will find it difficult to survive in the increasingly fierce wars of the future."

"I will retrieve enough LV4 fruits, and I require everyone... remember, everyone, must complete their evolution within three days!"

Li Tianran looked into the distance, his brain also working rapidly.

With the full revival of the ancient civilizations, Sky City had also entered a state of full power. Within this miraculous structure, there was also an extremely powerful "Apocalypse" weapon. If the Sky City, Kunlun Behemoth, Gonggong Battleship, and Kuangxi Island were to encircle and attack the Star Clan and Apostles of the Night after the Gonggong Battleship was completed, perhaps they could be completely eliminated in a direct war.

At this time, there were still twelve days until the Gonggong Battleship was completely finished!

As long as they could hold on for these twelve days without any accidents, then the scales of victory would still be tilted towards Li Tianran.

"As long as... in these twelve days, the apostles don't find any special new resources, as long as they don't rely on new resources to develop any epoch-making technological products," Li Tianran clenched his fists and said in a confident and deep voice, "They are doomed!"
