(Douluo 2 Map)
Original World.
A certain European power utilized powerful armored corps, combined with intense aerial firepower support, to strike directly at the enemy's vital points, divide the battlefield, and advance deep into enemy territory.
Aerial forces were considered a key component, as they not only provided fire support for ground troops but also carried the responsibility of destroying enemy transportation hubs (railways) and communication networks.
The goal was to catch the enemy completely off guard.
The conditions for a successful blitzkrieg required not only overwhelming strength from the attacker but also absolute coordination and order, ensuring stability amidst rapid execution.
After Elder Cheng's modifications, many auxiliary soul tools were incorporated into the strategy.
The Douluo Continent lacked railways, and its communication methods were quite primitive. Transportation was particularly underdeveloped, as the primary mode of transport was still horse-drawn carriages...
Thus, the strategy involved deploying armed Soul Master regiments, rapidly penetrating deep into enemy territory, striking directly at their core.
At the same time, the military would encircle from the rear, achieving a complete annihilation of enemy forces.
And within this plan—
Not only were there thick stacks of detailed strategies for dealing with the Three Empires, but even contingency plans for Shrek Academy's potential responses were included.
These documents covered everything from troop deployment and handling unexpected situations to countermeasures if Shrek Academy, like thousands of years ago, resorted to underhanded tactics after losing.
Xu Cheng couldn't help but feel deeply impressed as he read through it all.
No wonder this expert was highly regarded not only in the scientific community but also in the military. This level of talent is terrifying.
At the end of the book, the author's name was written: Cheng Baiqing.
Following it, another name was attached: Xu Cheng.
"Why research this stuff? Can it compare to divine power?"
Tianmeng grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Heh, gods? How many divisions do they have?" Xu Cheng chuckled lazily.
If before, he had put aside the idea of "mechanical ascension,"
Then after hearing Destruction's words,
he was now certain that Tang Shenwang's restraints on Douluo Star had been lifted.
Previously, no matter how much technological progress was made—whether it was satellites, interstellar battleships, or even higher-level advancements—Tang Shenwang could easily wipe everything out with a single breath.
But times had changed.
As long as enough time was given—
Gods? I'll show you that even gods can be killed!
This had already been demonstrated in the original story—once chaos erupted in the God Realm and Tang Shenwang's influence couldn't reach Douluo, a technological explosion quickly followed...
"I didn't expect... I would wake up again..."
Just as Xu Cheng and Tianmeng were bickering—
A voice suddenly echoed from his spiritual sea.
The two—one human and one silkworm—looked over simultaneously.
In the sky,
the originally calm gray mist suddenly surged violently, spreading outward.
Xu Cheng's expression was solemn, but inwardly, he was quite pleased.
He didn't expect that Destruction's arrival would actually help awaken Old Yi ahead of time!
"Old man, who the hell are you? Why are you fighting me for territory?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm growled angrily.
"Fighting you for territory? Who do you think you are? You're just a fat little worm! If not for the fact that I only have a wisp of divine consciousness left, I could crush you into nutrients in an instant."
The elderly voice retorted without a hint of politeness.
Tianmeng was furious. "Bullshit! If you've got the guts, then try it! Let's see who takes out who! Don't think I didn't notice—you're nothing but a leftover wisp of divine consciousness. You don't even have any energy left! How dare you challenge me?"
The elderly voice sneered. "True, I only have a wisp of divine consciousness left, but do you have any idea how much higher my level of divine consciousness is compared to yours? What can you possibly do to me? Just wait—once I recover my shattered divine consciousness and regain all my memories, do you know what will happen? I will grab your plump little body, squeeze it tight, and—pop! Your insides will splatter everywhere."
Tianmeng trembled in anger, his ten golden light clusters surging uncontrollably.
"Enough, Tianmeng…"
Xu Cheng stood up, his expression serious.
He looked toward the wavering mist in the sky—Yi Laikesi or Electrolux
"May I ask your name, senior?"
"Hmph, at least this boy is interesting."
"I am Yi Laikesi. Due to memory loss, I only recall my name and a few scattered fragments. Perhaps when I recover, I will remember more."
Yi Laikesi observed Xu Cheng with an expression full of appreciation.
"Your composure… You truly are a dragon among men. To remain so calm in front of a god—ordinary people could never achieve that. And in your memories, I have glimpsed… certain unknowns. You indeed hold other secrets."
"But that doesn't put us at odds, does it?"
Xu Cheng smiled.
"Hahaha! No, it does not," Yi Laikesi laughed heartily. "Since I have been drawn into your spiritual sea, it means we are fated. Unfortunately, my memories are fragmented, and my divine consciousness is incomplete. Otherwise, I would take you as my disciple this very moment. But in the future, I will have a gift for you…"
His voice grew softer.
"The fusion of darkness and light… truly intoxicating…"
As he spoke, Yi Laikesi's voice gradually faded, and the gray mist stilled.
Tianmeng: "Hmph! If I hadn't sacrificed myself, I'd show him!"
Xu Cheng: "Alright, alright, Tianmeng, let's prepare to head to the Extreme North."
Tianmeng: "Hehehehe~ My Bingbing, my dearest Bingbing, I'm coming for you~"
Xu Cheng: *"…"
Extreme North.
The land was blanketed in frost.
A vast expanse of white stretched as far as the eye could see.
Xu Cheng's small figure looked utterly insignificant in comparison to the outer edges of the Extreme North—like an ant without any presence.
The flight-type soul tool on his back roared as it propelled him forward under Tianmeng's guidance.
"Stop!"
Within his spiritual sea, Tianmeng shut his eyes.
A vast spiritual force surged outward from Xu Cheng, covering the surroundings.
Tianmeng exhaled deeply.
"This should be the place."
He was a bit nervous.
Xu Cheng simply nodded. "Alright."
He landed lightly in the snow, his body sinking into the thick frost.
This was already the core of the Extreme North.
With terrifying temperatures approaching negative one hundred degrees, most soul beasts couldn't survive here.
Any creature that did—was a force to be reckoned with.
Half an hour later.
Within Tianmeng's shed husk,
a massive spiritual force surged, tightly binding a struggling Ice Emperor.
"Tianmeng, are you insane?!!"
"Bingbing, don't be like this. Over the years, you are the one I love most."
Within the spiritual sea, Tianmeng floated near Ice Emperor, his tone full of affection.
"I have already given my body to him. I have become his fifth soul ring."
Ice Emperor fell silent.
"That's right. Tianmeng chose me. And you… are also part of our plan to create a god." Xu Cheng stated plainly.
Ice Emperor's aura exploded with fury.
"Don't think that just because Tianmeng is protecting you, I won't kill you!"
Xu Cheng simply raised a hand and said calmly—
"There's no need for that."
