Doomsday Code

Chapter 979 The Role of the Great Wall

Chen Cheng looked at Ye Rong, his lips trembling for a long time, but he couldn't bring himself to say the truth that Kui Niu was dead.

He had only traveled with the bull for a short time, and he was already devastated by its passing.

Ye Rong, on the other hand, had fought alongside Kui Niu for over a hundred years. During those hundred years, they had encountered countless crises, but in the end, they always supported each other through them.

Now that he's told that Kui Niu is dead, Chen Cheng fears Ye Rong won't be able to accept the fact.

When Ye Rong saw Chen Cheng's hesitant expression, his heart, which had never wavered even when facing thousands of enemy troops, began to tremble with anxiety.

"Please tell me, Your Majesty."

Ye Rong looked at Chen Cheng with pleading eyes.

Just then, the heartbroken Gust came to Ye Rong and knelt down in front of him with a thud.

Bang bang bang, he kowtowed heavily to Ye Rong several times in a row.

"I'm sorry, you all. Because of me, Que Niu died together with that devil."

At first, Ye Rong didn't even recognize Gust, because the current Gust was so different from the spirited and heroic barbarian king he used to be.

When Ye Rong recognized Gusté's identity and heard him say that the Kui Niu had sacrificed itself because of him, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Those were his brothers who had fought side by side with him for over a hundred years. If it weren't for Kui Niu leading his tribe to join the Great Wall Army, there wouldn't be the solid Great Wall defense line we have today.

With a bang, Ye Rong delivered a punch to Guster's face, relying solely on his physical strength without using any other power.

Gust, caught off guard, had his nose broken by the punch.

Looking at his throbbing fist, Ye Rong pointed his fingers together like a sword and slashed at the sky.

This sword strike cleared the clouds and brought the sun to shine; the snowflakes in the sky stopped, and sunlight shone on this desolate land.

Ye Rong then looked at Guster and said:

"I cannot betray the ideals of the Que Niu people during their lifetime, nor can I destroy the peace that the two races have worked so hard to achieve."

Remember, your life no longer belongs solely to you, but also to the Kui Niu. His lifelong dream is for the two races to heal the wounds of history and move towards common survival and development.

Ye Rong wasn't flattering Kui Niu, because that was Kui Niu's ideal during his lifetime.

Otherwise, why would a dignified orc royal chieftain like him submit to someone else and obey the orders of Ye Rong, the Great Wall Army garrison commander?

Why then should they lead their entire clan to defend the Great Wall with all their might?

Gust didn't make any promises, but simply kowtowed to the abyss once more.

Ye Rong calmed himself down, knelt before Chen Cheng, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:

"I have overstepped my bounds."

Ye Rong didn't react as strongly as Chen Cheng.

Perhaps because of his century of fighting, as the commander-in-chief he had witnessed and experienced too many separations and deaths, he was able to outwardly soothe the grief caused by the passing of his relatives and comrades.

However, only he himself knew the pain in his heart.

Chen Cheng couldn't offer any words of comfort at this moment, because he felt that anything he said would seem so pale and powerless.

At that moment, Chen Cheng suddenly felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

As a king, one bears the responsibility not only for oneself but also for everyone else.

From then on, it wouldn't just be Kui Niu who sacrificed himself before him; those who were willing to follow him and be loyal to him would all die for various reasons during his growth.

"Let's go, we still have a lot to do."

At this moment, Chen Cheng was relieved of his burden, but his heart was burdened with a new one called responsibility.

Ye Rong led the way, and the rest of the group followed behind, flying towards the Great Wall.

By this time, the various orc races had returned to the Siege via the teleportation array, while those heading south could see Black Demons lying dead along the way, their bodies scattered on the ground due to the loss of their power.

In fact, these dark demons are undead corpses created by that god using his own severed and corrupted faith.

This is the same as the spirit and will of the dying ox preserved in Chen Cheng's body.

However, the will within these undead has been corrupted and demonized; they only think about how to infect living beings and turn them into their own kind.

They can also gain a portion of wisdom by devouring the pure will of living beings.

Therefore, it behaves much like the zombies in some post-apocalyptic novels from Chen Cheng's previous life.

Noah, who had followed Chen Cheng and the others south, shuddered when they saw the endless sea of ​​corpses.

They couldn't imagine what would happen to them if the disaster here broke out in their little world.

On the way there, they spent a lot of time searching for the orcs, and on the way back, they traveled in silence and took most of the day to reach the Thousand-Mile Bone Mountain.

Seeing this mountain of bones stretching for miles before you go there might make you shudder at the thought of how many lives have been lost.

Now that he has returned and sees this mountain of bones stretching for miles, Chen Cheng feels only fear.

These bone mountains are no ordinary white bone mountains; this is the place where the most corrupting forces in this world have accumulated. If it weren't for the Great Wall suppressing them here, this place would probably have long since turned into the most terrifying demonic realm.

Chen Cheng stopped in his tracks. He wanted to take a closer look at the silted-up area and then figure out a way to clean up the accumulated filth.

Otherwise, this place is a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment, and if not handled carefully, it could affect the entire Northern Territory and turn it into a demonic realm.

In his vision, the North would be an extremely important development area in the future.

At this moment, Chen Cheng had already severed the authority over the rules for dealing with the corrupt forces. In addition, he had now condensed his divine spark and his will had become divine, so he could use his divine eyes to see the flow of power here.

The God's Eye opened again, but this time no unusual phenomena occurred. In his eyes, what lay a thousand miles ahead were not mountains of bones, but rather a jumble of noisy specks of filthy power.

What's strange is that these noise-like forces were not only suppressed by the Great Wall, but the Great Wall was also absorbing the power from these noise-like forces to replenish itself.

It's no wonder that this Great Wall, after being moved here, can still keep operating; it seems that the corrupt forces here are its natural source of energy.

At the same time, Chen Cheng understood why the little black man, who was a divine being, could persist there for thousands of years. It turned out that the creature had expelled most of the filth here, which was then absorbed by the Great Wall.

While this temporarily solved the problem of the flow of filth, the desertification and collapse from the western border of the world could not be controlled.

The Great Wall in the Western Regions not only served as the first battlefield for the ancient civilization against the evil gods from beyond, but also prevented the world's power from flowing into the void, ultimately leading to the collapse of the world.

This process may take a long time, but such changes are extremely difficult to reverse.

That's why the Great Wall, unlike other special battle bases, was preserved by ancient civilizations.
