# Chapter 1777: Great Opportunity

Otherwise, a blind counterattack combined with a fire starting in the backyard would make the situation even more chaotic and desperate!

Originally, the chances of victory were already slim. If we mess things up like this, there might be no chance at all!

The counterattack must be launched, but there's absolutely no rush. We must first stabilize the internal situation!

Just then, Yang Jian raised his hand and pointed at the holographic projection!

On the projection, densely packed dots began to emerge across the territory of Hua Xia, like sparks of fire!

The locations of various Lingxu shelters across the region were also all revealed—there were probably over a thousand of them!

Yang Jian's expression turned grave: "In fact, the transfer work hasn't even been fully completed yet!"

"We've only moved the people from most cities into the Lingxu. Don't forget about the underground shelters built by the people in towns, villages, and counties!"

"There are also a considerable number of civilians hiding in those places. These are all the shelter locations recorded on the map!"

At this moment, everyone's scalps went numb as they looked at the countless dots on the map, like a sky full of stars!

This was the "Sparks Plan" that Jiangnan and Yang Jian had formulated back then!

They had invested massive funds, allowing local Spirit Martial warriors to build underground shelters, providing refuge for people in villages and towns who couldn't make it to the centralized city Lingxu shelters in time!

The number was as vast as the stars—probably tens of thousands!

Now, seven days had passed since the start of the global spirit calamity, and the food reserves prepared in advance in these shelters were almost exhausted!

These shelters were not like the Lingxu shelters, which could be self-sufficient!

Moreover, it was winter in Hua Xia. The northern regions were bitterly cold, making living conditions extremely harsh!

Yang Jian took a deep breath: "Right now, we have no idea how many shelters have been discovered and breached by spirit beasts!"

"Whether the people inside are safe, or how much longer they can hold out! So the most important thing right now is to gather the civilians scattered in underground shelters across Hua Xia and transfer them to the nearest Lingxu for resettlement!"

"That way, at least their basic needs will be guaranteed!"

Jiangnan's expression was serious: "Even a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

"Even if we don't know whether a shelter has been breached, we have to check every single one and confirm. This is a race against time. Every day we delay, the chances of survival decrease!"

"The people are hiding in shelters, waiting for the country to rescue them. We can't let them die in despair!"

"We must do our utmost to live up to everyone's expectations!"

Everyone nodded heavily. Not a single one could be abandoned. The civilians scattered in shelters across the region were also human beings!

We must do everything possible to save them!

But as easy as it was to say, the number of shelters was terrifying. Finding and transferring them all would take an enormous amount of time!

And now, various beast groups had carved up the land of Hua Xia. Moving large numbers of civilians to shelters was no easy task!

Yang Jian said in a low voice: "Currently, each Lingxu shelter has dispatched teams to check every Sparks Plan shelter one by one and bring the people back!"

"But manpower is far from enough. In the coming days, I'm afraid everyone will have to work hard!"

"Elder Xiao, you transcendent-level combatants shouldn't waste your strength. Go clear out the leaders of the major beast groups, break them up and scatter them. Don't let the beast groups unite and grow stronger!"

"In the next phase, Hua Xia will focus entirely on transferring the Sparks Plan civilians, stabilizing order within each Lingxu, and quickly restoring stability. Then we'll discuss the counterattack!"

Xiao Chuihuo grinned: "Just as well—I've advanced to the transcendent realm and have no spiritual techniques to use yet. Let's see if there's anything suitable!"

For Xiao Chuihuo and Mi Ye, killing a Dao Heaven Ten Star peak spirit beast didn't require much effort!

Jiangnan spoke up: "If you encounter a large group of civilians that are hard to transfer, you can directly bring a Star Gate over and send them to the moon for resettlement!"

"Oh, right! Even though we failed to guard the formation in the Rainforest Maze, we brought back the Spirit Severing Pillar and the Spirit-Sealing Spikes!"

"I'll send the Spirit-Sealing Spikes to Boss Pang later, let him produce more. I've memorized the entire Spirit-Sealing Curse Array. I'll write it out and send it to you all!"

"See if there's any way to seal these Lingxu back up!"

As he spoke, he teleported outside the command room and planted the ten-thousand-meter-tall Spirit Severing Pillar into the ground. Xiong Er also took out the only remaining Spirit-Sealing Spike!

Everyone's eyes lit up. Odin's eyelids twitched—that Spirit Severing Pillar was something his good big brother had risked his life to bring back!

Mountain Cat was astonished as well. That complicated Spirit-Sealing Curse Array—Little Nan had memorized it all? What kind of brain was that?

But then she remembered how Jiangnan had instantly mastered the Spirit Muscle and Jade Bone technique back then, so she wasn't too surprised.

He was a genius—it was only natural!

Yang Jian looked somewhat excited:

(๑・᷅ὢ・᷄)و "Excellent! I'll immediately send an expert team to study it and see if there's anything useful!"

"Transferring the Sparks Plan civilians is one thing. The biggest problem facing humanity right now is the disruption of communications!"

"Hua Xia is barely holding on with WeChat keeping things going for now, not completely paralyzed, but every other country is flying blind!"

"The communication problem must be resolved as soon as possible. On a small scale, it hinders a united counterattack by all nations. On a larger scale, this is a sign of the death of human civilization!"

Jiangnan's brows furrowed deeply too.

Initially, he thought it was Wu Liang's doing, but now it seemed he was just unlucky to have been caught up in it. Even Sister Li Bing's attempts had failed.

Clearly, Saint Star had used some unknown method to cut off Blue Star's communications!

If this problem wasn't solved, communications would never be restored!

"First, we need to figure out what caused the communication blackout. I'll think of a way!"

Getting information from Saint Star was undoubtedly extremely difficult, but now things were different!

Ku Po was lying low over there. He wondered if he had any concrete information.

He needed to find a way to contact him!

As for Ku Po's undercover mission, Jiangnan hadn't publicized it. The fewer people who knew, the safer it would be for him!

When everyone heard that Boss Nan was going to handle it, they felt much more at ease.

After all, there didn't seem to be anything in this world that Jiangnan couldn't accomplish!

Jiangnan changed the subject: "Oh, right! Karl came for the spirit medium. Jingjing is a spirit medium. Saint Star went through all this trouble just to snatch a spirit medium?"

"What exactly is a spirit medium?"

Mentioning this, even Xiao Chuihuo became interested!

After all, the way Saint Star was acting, they wouldn't stop until they got their hands on the spirit medium!

Jiang Ning gently stroked Jiang Jing's head and let out a bitter smile!

"Everyone should know about the Creation Sacred Beast. It wields the power of creation and is even higher in life level than the Bose Body!"

"It's equivalent to the god of the Bose Clan! It can freely create Lingxu. All the Lingxu on Blue Star originate from the Creation Sacred Beast!"

Odin's face darkened. He knew all too well how freakish the Creation Beast was—after all, he had once sat on it and been suppressed under its butt!

Mi Ye's heart also tightened. Was the Creation Beast that had been in the tenth layer of the Abyss really that important?

Jiangnan was shocked: ∑(°口°๑) "Holy crap? Could the spirit medium be..."

Jiang Ning nodded: "It's exactly what you're thinking. Normally, even among the upper clans of the Bose race, no one has the qualifications to control the Creation Sacred Beast!"

"But every once in a while, a special spirit medium is born on the Bose Star. This spirit medium can communicate, negotiate, and form a contract with the Creation Beast, serving as a bridge between it and the Bose Clan!"

"And Jiang Jing should be that spirit medium!"

Hearing this, Jiang Jing still looked dazed, not understanding what everyone was talking about.

(•︠~•︡O)?

She didn't remember anything about what had happened before.

Jiang Ning continued: "Normally, when Saint Star was developing the Blue Star Lingxu, they would send exiles to participate in the battle!"

"I was also exiled here for some reason. Before, I was puzzled—Jiang Jing was so young, far from having grown to a level where she could fight!"

"Why would she appear on Blue Star, as a wild one? Now it makes sense. If she's a spirit medium, everything explains itself!"

At this moment, Jiangnan's expression was extremely excited!

(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "Holy crap! So the Creation Beast back then had no master? Jiang Jing can form a contract with it?"

"If we find that chubby triangular thing and get our hands on it, can we mass-produce Creation Particles? And mass-produce transcendent realm cultivators?"

No one could sit still anymore. Everyone looked thrilled. If this was true, it might be able to change humanity's current disadvantage in one fell swoop!

This was a true great opportunity to turn the tables!

Jiang Ning nodded: "I always thought that Creation Beast had a spirit medium. Back then, when they stuck that virtual spike into it, it was to whip it into diligently creating Lingxu!"

"Now it seems that's not the case. The previous spirit medium of that Creation Beast must have died. The virtual spike was also to tie down the Creation Beast so it wouldn't run wild!"

"They were waiting for a new spirit medium to form a contract with it. If so, everything makes sense!"

"Besides, back during the spirit calamity rebellion, the batch of Bose bodies that came over had an internal conflict. The exact reason is unknown. I was also injured during that time and captured by Mi Guo!"

"Now it seems, that internal conflict back then was probably because of Jiang Jing. Jingjing likely isn't part of Saint Star's faction. They didn't want her to successfully contract!"

"So they tried to kill her. During the process, Jiang Jing was lost, or perhaps hidden by another faction in the Toy House!"

Everyone looked suddenly enlightened. So there was this much history involved?

The structure within the Bose Clan was also complicated? Saint Star wasn't the only faction? And it involved factional struggles?

As expected, wherever living beings existed, there would be conflicts stirred up by interests!
