Chapter 440: The Shrine’s Conscription Plan!

“Pei Ji, did you really just come back to take a look?”
After a few moments of silence, Pei Gang asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Pei Ji squeezed out a bitter smile.
“No. This time, I’m here under the orders of the shrine to announce the conscription plan for the Dual World War.”
Conscription plan?
Everyone, including Pei Gang, took a deep breath when they heard this. Their eyes were filled with worry and unease.
Every conscription was a huge blow and disaster to the major factions of the eastern region.
This was because the humans represented by the Eastern Shrine had already lost the Dual World War nine times in a row.
Each time, a large part of the human race’s territory would be given to the foreign races on the other side of Dual World Mountain. At the same time, they had to compensate the latter with countless resources.
At this point, the living space of the human race in the eastern region had been reduced by almost half.
In addition, the resources and foundations consumed by the war were astronomical. Even an ancient race like the Lihuo ancient race could not bear it.
Some factions with weaker foundations even died because of the continuous defeats which resulted in the destruction of their factions.
After nine consecutive defeats, their living space was suppressed like never before.
After every great battle, there was only a hundred years to recover. This was a huge challenge to any faction.
Powerhouses got stronger while the weak got weaker.
“Pei Ji, what’s the conscription plan for the shrine this time? Is it still the same as a hundred years ago? Are they recruiting more than half of the Lihuo ancient race’s Divine Illumination realm clansmen?”
Pei Gang forcefully suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked.
“No.”
Pei Ji shook his head.
When he shook his head, everyone immediately panicked.
The shrine’s conscription had always increased and never decreased.
By shaking his head, Pei Ji was indicating that the number of soldiers to be recruited this time would be even greater than the last time.
“I see… How many?”
After a few moments of silence, Pei Gang mustered his courage and asked in a trembling voice.
Whoosh!
The others also clenched their fists tightly and looked at Pei Ji without blinking. His answer would be the judgment of fate.
“The shrine’s conscription plan this time targets all clansmen in the Divine Illumination realm.”
What? All the Divine Illumination realm clansmen?
Hearing this, everyone present gasped, and their faces revealed incomparably shocked expressions.
Even the usually calm Grand Elder Pei Gang felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him out of the blue, and he stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
“Pei Ji, why is this? Didn’t they only recruit half of the Divine Illumination realm powerhouses in the past? Why did it suddenly change this time?” Someone asked in disbelief.
“Yeah! Summoning all the clansmen above the Divine Illumination realm is asking for the life of the Lihuo ancient race!” Someone shouted crazily.
“How is this conscription? This is clearly digging out our lifeblood. They want the Lihuo ancient race to die!”
“Too much! The shrine is too much!”
” All the Divine Illumination realm cultivators? How could this be…!”
Everyone roared.
They were both shocked, frightened, and terrified by the conscription plan.
Under the current circumstances of the eastern region, no living being could break through past the Divine Illumination realm.
Therefore, the cultivators in the Divine Illumination realm were the top fighting force of each faction. If all of them were to be recruited, it would surely cause the factions to suffer a huge loss.
Even if they were given a hundred years, they would not be able to recover.
It was imaginable that if the Eastern Shrine continued to lose in this Dual World War, the Lihuo ancient race would most certainly be done for.
Previously, although the shrine had been recruiting soldiers to participate in the Dual World War, they had never been as ruthless and ridiculous as this time.
How was this conscription? This was clearly destroying the roots of the faction.
“Sigh…”
Pei Ji sighed helplessly in response to everyone’s anger.
“This is a decree issued by the shrine. No one can change it. It is said that the reason why the conscription has doubled this time is because of a major change in the foreign races. The foreign races are much stronger than they were a hundred years ago. Therefore, we must recruit more troops to gain hope of victory in this Dual World War. This regards the fate of the entire eastern region. No matter which faction it is, they must abide by the decree,” Pei Ji said in a deep voice.
The Dual World War was related to the fate of the humans in the eastern region. They had to go all out. There was no room for negotiation.
“Then… What about Ganglan ancient race?”
“It’s the same. Thus, even if we want to start a war with the Ganglan ancient race now, we can’t. As long as we make a move, the shrine will definitely interfere. At that time, the shrine will send down a punishment and the Lihuo ancient race will be finished.”
Speaking of this, Pei Ji’s expression became extremely serious.
Pei Gang and the others also clenched their fists tightly. Helplessness and sighs floated within their eyes.
“The Dual World War is a great change that has never happened in the eastern region in 10,000 years. Is the disaster of the past going to happen again?”
Pei Gang’s heart was filled with sorrow.
The Lihuo ancient race had finally recovered from the disaster 10,000 years ago. Yet now, the cruel Dual World War was here.
If they won, they would soar to the sky and enjoy the abundant resources of the foreign races. However, if they were defeated, they would be done for.
“Grand Elder, the shrine has ordered that we complete the consignment plan within two months and then head to the battlefield on Dual World Mountain. Therefore, the clansmen who are about to break through should suppress their cultivation and not break through to the Divine Illumination realm. How many of the Lihuo ancient race members are in the Divine Illumination realm and above?”
“About 30,000,” Pei Gang replied.
As Grand Elder, he immediately announced the Eastern Shrine’s consignment plan.
Not long after, the Lihuo ancient race was in an uproar. Many clansmen were terrified.
“Let’s go.”
Looking at the silent crowd in the hall, Lin Wudao lost his interest in taking advantage of the situation.
He had to go back and prepare.
Besides the Dual World War, he also had to guard against the Sky God of the Southern Ridge’s Tushan family. He needed to go back and take charge of the situation.
“This time, I’m going to spend a lot again. I’m afraid that 1 won’t have enough Fate Energy value,” Lin Wudao sighed in his heart.
Then, he immediately left the Lihuo ancient race in a flash.
“Brother Ren, where are we going next?”
“The Ganglan ancient race. Let’s go and retrieve that True God’s corpse first. The Dual World War is about to begin, so we have to make some preparations.” “Good! I can’t wait any longer, haha!”
The Mad Daoist was excited.
Soon after, the two of them rode on rainbow lights and headed toward the Ganglan ancient race.
Just as Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist were rushing over, the Ganglan ancient race on the other side of the Ganglan River was already preparing to dig up their ancestral graves..
