Wizard: I Have a Game Panel

"I think our plan needs to be changed again, the Giants are much more difficult to deal with than we imagined."

"Forty-seven Overlords joined forces for an attack, yet they couldn't completely kill a single Giant."

"Fortunately, their attacks aren't very strong; an Overlord who is midway on the path of the Law can easily defend against it."

"If combined with various Defense Barriers, an Initial Stage Overlord can hold them off."

"The Giant Domain has an extremely high demand for Overlord-level forces, and unless we throw in two-thirds of the Federation's Overlords, I'm afraid there's no hope of holding it."

"It's alright." The Blossoming Leader replied, "There's good news on the Spirit Devouring Realm defense line; the Tier Eight Devouring Spirit Race is quite weak, and most of the defensive barriers can be held by top Tier Sevens with Law Treasures."

"Additionally, according to the perception of the Polar Bear Dominator, after annihilating a large number of the Devouring Spirit Race, the space seal loosened for a moment."

"Overall, the Devouring Spirit Race is much easier to deal with than expected, so we can focus part of our forces on the Giant Domain defense line."

"That's good." The Deep Whale Leader sighed with relief.

"I really didn't expect that while we originally thought the Devouring Spirit Race would be difficult to deal with, it turns out the Giants are worse," a leader said with a wry smile.

"Overall, we are indeed at a disadvantage, but fortunately, we don't have to endure for too long."

"I've noticed that cultivators on the soul path perform poorly on the Giant Domain defense line. Perhaps we should move them all to the Spirit Devouring Realm defense line."

"How many Overlords should be left on the Spirit Devouring Realm defense line?"

"Perhaps we should publish the intelligence from the other two realms on the civilization exchange list, rather than just spreading it internally within the Federation. This would likely help more civilizations make up their minds to join us."

…

The initial battle between the Crystal Domain and the other two realms was eventually stabilized, as top Overlord-level civilization leaders continued issuing relocation orders.

The Crystal Domain's offensive capabilities are lacking, but holding it isn't a big problem.

If all goes well, once the assembly points are built, and adopting a more extreme defensive stance, this war might last a long, long time.

…

Blood Territory, Plane Sea No. 758, outside the Wizard Plane Group.

"I really didn't expect the Giants would be so much harder to deal with than the Devouring Spirit Race; nearly fifty Overlords…" The Feather Sky Leader abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

At the same time, Lor's expression turned solemn.

"What's wrong?" The Abyssal Sea Throne, feeling a sense of foreboding, couldn't help asking.

"The Distanceless Spatial Layer… has changed." The Feather Sky Leader sighed.

Although the change in the Distanceless Spatial Layer was minimal and almost insignificant to it, it still signaled that something terrible had already occurred.

A Devouring Spirit Race legion had passed through the Distanceless Spatial Layer, directly jumping to Plane Sea No. 758 or a nearby Plane Sea.

It's important to note that the Crystal Domain Barrier had just collapsed for a few minutes, and yet a Devouring Spirit Race legion had already arrived near Plane Sea No. 758 through the Distanceless Spatial Layer.

The implication is not just that the Alliance of Plane Sea No. 758 is about to directly confront the Devouring Spirit Race.

It also reveals a crucial piece of information: the Devouring Spirit Race is extremely large in number and fearless of death; otherwise, how could they dare to send a massive legion into the Crystal Domain's interior at the onset of the war?

Every intelligent being knows that doing so is almost a guaranteed death sentence.

"Perhaps the Devouring Spirit Race isn't as easy to deal with as the top level of the Federation says." The Abyssal Sea Throne said with a wry smile.

"Indeed." Lor nodded, "I've already reported this intelligence and speculation back to the Federation, hoping it will influence the top-level decisions."

"So what should we do next?" The Feather Sky Leader asked, "Should we stick to the original plan, or should I first detach some clan members to scout out the positions of the Devouring Spirit Race, then call in reinforcement legions for extermination?"

The so-called original plan was to consolidate all the Plane Groups in Plane Sea No. 758 first, waiting for migration, regardless of anything else.

"The Distanceless Spatial Layer just slightly strengthened again."

Lor chimed in, "I think this is just the beginning; subsequently, there may be frequent instances of Devouring Spirit Race legions arriving near Plane Sea No. 758 through the Distanceless Spatial Layer."

"Sending out Space Faction cultivators proactively to find them would be a waste of time, and wouldn't thoroughly eliminate them."

"It's better to quickly move enough Plane Groups over, and when the Tier Seven Space Faction cultivators can no longer move the Plane Groups, conduct a thorough extermination to lift the spatial restriction."

"Moreover, doing so has another benefit: it will make it more difficult for the Giants to subsequently jump directly to Plane Sea No. 758 through the Distanceless Spatial Layer."

The Devouring Spirit Race isn't very strong, and Plane Sea No. 758 has two Overlord-level beings, one of whom is a Space Faction Overlord, so handling it isn't difficult.

But the Giants are different.

A total of forty-seven Overlords, including powerful ones from the Soul Faction, Destruction Faction, and others, couldn't instantaneously kill a single Tier Eight Giant even when joining forces.

If a Giant truly were to reach nearby Plane Sea No. 758 through the Distanceless Spatial Layer, relying solely on the Feather Sky Leader and the Abyssal Sea Throne, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

"That's true." The Abyssal Sea Throne's eyes brightened, "From this perspective, it seems like the spatial restriction ability of the Devouring Spirit Race doesn't entirely work against us!"

"Alright, it's settled then." The Feather Sky Leader nodded in agreement.

…

Eight days quietly passed.

In the past eight days, the Crystal Domain's Enemy-Facing Federation's strategy had been adjusted again.

The number of Overlords remaining on the Spirit Devouring Realm defense line was further reduced, and the main force was entirely replaced by top Tier Seven cultivators with Law Treasures and ordinary Tier Eight cultivators holding off the Devouring Spirit Race with the help of Defense Barriers, leaving only a small number of Overlords for unexpected situations.

The Giant Domain defense line, on the other hand, gathered three-fifths of the Overlord-level powerhouses from the Crystal Domain's Enemy-Facing Federation, or rather, the entire Crystal Domain, to block the Giant main forces outside the defense line.

The reason the Crystal Domain's Enemy-Facing Federation is synonymous with the entire Crystal Domain is because nearly 99% of the top large civilizations and alliances formed by Overlord-level civilizations have joined the Crystal Domain's Enemy-Facing Federation so far.

Regarding large civilizations, more than 90% have indirectly joined the Crystal Domain's Enemy-Facing Federation by joining different alliances.

The remaining ones aren't unwilling to join the Federation; rather, they're trying to join an alliance first, as they lack the qualifications to directly connect with the Crystal Domain's Enemy-Facing Federation.

As for medium and small civilizations, less than 10% have joined the Federation.

Most of them, like the former Wizard Civilization, have not even ventured out of the Plane Group, nor discovered the coordinates of their Plane Group, let alone contacted the Second World or joined an alliance.

Aside from the Overlords guarding the defense line, the remaining one-third of the Crystal Domain's Overlords are putting out fires everywhere.

Since there are almost no Plane Seas capable of independently facing Tier Eight Giants, the priority is on exterminating the Giants, with Devouring Spirit Race legions being secondary targets.

In eight days, more than a hundred Overlord-level powerhouses fell, rendering the entire Crystal Domain silent.

It's important to note that over the past hundred million years, aside from the time when the Butterfly Emperor released a list, fewer than a hundred Overlords truly died in battle in the Crystal Domain.

In contrast, now, nearly two hundred Overlords have fallen in such a short span of eight days.

This result once instilled fear in many Overlords, even making them want to retreat, only to be met with the Federation's uppermost levels' iron fist.

Cowards in battle, die.

The civilizations of cowards, be all annihilated.

Once the Federation's high-level leaders announced this bloody outcome, the Overlords became obedient.

Retreat now and face death immediately.

Without retreating, there's still hope.

Of course, the uppermost levels of the Federation didn't solely wield an iron fist, as they also offered sweet rewards.

For instance, the civilization of a fallen Overlord would be granted a place within the inner layer of a special assembly point, or they could arrange for ordinary Tier Eights and Tier Sevens mastering the Law Treasures within their civilization to visit the Spirit Devouring Realm defense line and control some offensive barriers.

Exterminating the Devouring Spirit Race could also earn Law Values.

Controlling the offensive barriers on the Spirit Devouring Realm defense line meant more opportunities to acquire more Law Values, giving them a chance to produce another Overlord for their civilization.

Unknowingly, the Spirit Devouring Realm defense line had become a good place for the Federation to settle the families of meritorious individuals.

If this had been said when the Crystal Domain Barrier first collapsed, nobody might have believed it.

It truly seems a bit too fantastical.
