# Chapter 1810: A No-Win Situation
Martin suddenly thought of something: "By the way, that horizontal heaven defense wall of Hua Xia is absolutely insane. How did you guys manage that?"
"It's been incredibly useful for withstanding beast tides and such!"
"If we could all use that kind of defense to surround our major cities, reclaiming some of our own territory during this spirit calamity wouldn't be impossible!"
Yang Jian rubbed his brow: "I'm afraid you're overthinking this. The ancient Great Wall of Hua Xia stretches for thousands of miles. It's been under construction since the Qin Emperor period over two thousand years ago!"
"During wartime, it was used to resist foreign invasion. In the spiritual energy revival era, it was used to withstand beast tides. Through multiple dynasties spanning over two thousand years, who knows how much manpower and resources were poured into it to get the wall we have today!"
"It's an indestructible barrier left to Hua Xia by our ancestors. You want to build a Great Wall, but do you have that kind of manpower and resources? There's no time either!"
When he said this, Yang Jian's tone was full of pride!
And the high-ranking officials from various countries all looked envious. With all kinds of measures combined, Hua Xia had become the country with the least damage!
Martin gritted his teeth: (´-益-`٥) "Tsk~ Why didn't our ancestors leave us any legacy or something?"
Bati rolled his eyes: (꒪ัι_꒪ัO) "You guys? Forget it. Your history isn't even a fraction as long as Hua Xia's!"
"In the last spiritual energy revival era, your Mi Guo didn't even exist yet, right? Where would you get ancestors?"
Martin's face darkened. That was true enough!
As an ancient civilization spanning five thousand years of history, Hua Xia's foundation wasn't something anyone could compare to!
Yang Jian grinned: "Of course, if you need it, I can share the specific incantations of the Great Wall curse array with everyone!"
"As for whether you can build it, that's up to you!"
Everyone got goosebumps. Hua Xia really was giving things away!
They were doing everything possible to pull the other countries along and walk forward together!
Yang Jian understood the principle of "a single tree cannot make a forest" and "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" better than anyone!
Sea King Saina nodded: "There's nothing more to say. There's no way to repay this kindness. Just watch what we do from now on!"
"Lantis's technology and weapon manufacturing, I'll share those too. It'll help a little at least!"
Since Hua Xia was so generous, the other countries naturally couldn't fall short. They all took out their core assets to share!
In this situation, only by helping each other could they go further!
Quinn watched this scene with a face full of satisfaction!
Then Bati rubbed his hands together: (ʃƪ･᷄▾･᷅) "So... Boss Nan, could you lend us the Star-Devouring Giant Worm for a while? Our place isn't big, so we can finish quickly!"
Qian Benying immediately objected: (*⁰̷̴皿⁰̷̴) "Pfft! I asked first! I asked to borrow it a long time ago! I even sold myself to Jiangnan for this! If anyone's borrowing it, it should be me first!"
Everyone's eyes went wide, and they gasped. Holy crap? Something like that happened?
Jiangnan's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "It was selling yourself to work for me! Work! You better get the facts straight!"
Nico looked pitiful: (๑ŏ～ŏ) "The Star-Devouring Giant Worm... can't we really borrow it? We'll definitely raise it nice and plump!"
Jiangnan shrugged helplessly: "Can't lend it out for now. Xingcheng is crucial to Hua Xia's next action plan!"
"Things at home really haven't been dealt with yet. There's no logic in going to put out a fire at someone else's house when your own hearth is still burning!"
"Once the fire at our house is out, I'll rent out darling Xingcheng to you guys. Of course, you'll have to pay some pocket money, okay?"
"Not that paper money stuff, but the valuable kind like spirit pearls and gold!"
Everyone's face darkened. They'd just praised him for being generous, and now he's charging again? That's some damn rental!
He's really figured out how to do business!
But just being willing to rent was already a godsend. As for resources, they'd just give them!
Jiangnan chuckled happily. Xingcheng got to eat cookie crumbs, and he got money too. Could it get any better?
Freya tilted her head: (•︠～•︡) "Speaking of which, weren't there two Star-Devouring Giant Worms? Where's the other one?"
Jiangnan grinned: (乛⥎乛*) "Secret! That one can't be moved. It concerns the survival of humanity. Just pretend it doesn't exist!"
The other one was, of course, eating satellites over on Jupiter!
Who knew how many incense beads it had harvested by now!
When the spirit calamity broke out, Jiangnan had thought about calling the other one over to help!
But summoning it back from Jupiter wasn't something that could be done on a whim. The journey was far, and who knew how long it would take?
Besides, such a huge lump couldn't be pulled down to Earth without transforming into a human. A fall would be another apocalyptic disaster for Blue Star!
Blue Star couldn't handle such abuse anymore!
Moreover, that Star-Devouring Giant Worm was used to produce incense beads. In Thousand Stars City, one bead could be exchanged for an asteroid!
It was something worth more than stars, and Jiangnan was using it to increase humanity's foundation and capital!
Paving the way for the future. If they ever had a chance to get to Thousand Stars City, these incense beads would be absolute hard currency!
They might be able to exchange them for some treasure, maybe even to save lives!
So it absolutely couldn't be moved!
Seeing Jiangnan so mysterious, everyone tactfully stopped asking.
Bati sighed: "All these plans are based on the assumption that the Holy Star doesn't cause trouble and has no follow-up actions!"
"If something else goes wrong at the Beacon Star Palace..."
Bati, who had faced off with Rhein, knew full well how troublesome Bose bodies were!
And most of everyone's attacks against Bose bodies were ineffective!
Now the space systems were treated like treasures, the sharpest knives of humanity!
Hairpin Wei suddenly raised her hand: (ﾟ～.ﾟ)ﾂ "Um... I don't want to interrupt, but everyone should know this news in advance!"
"I absorbed the information from Slanted Eyebrow Wei and found a lot of useful intel in her mind!"
"The Carl and the others who came this time aren't all of them. More will come later. It seems their identities haven't been made yet, so they haven't arrived!"
"But how many Bose will come, and what strength, Slanted Eyebrow Wei doesn't know!"
This news was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads!
Quinn frowned deeply: (٥･᷅ʃƪ･᷄) "Is the information accurate?"
Hairpin Wei shrugged: ╮(•́～•̀)╭ "I have no reason to lie about this matter..."
For a moment, the meeting room fell into prolonged silence!
This was the hardest part. The Holy Star had the backing of the Bose clan, with a background so vast it exceeded everyone's understanding!
They could keep sending people and play Blue Star to death!
This was a no-win situation. No one knew what kind of world the brilliant starry sky outside Blue Star really was!
No matter what they did, it seemed impossible to win this war!
Bai Kou bit her lower lip. This situation was exactly what the predecessors of the ancient Su Age had faced!
That was why they couldn't win. Because humanity didn't even have the qualifications to contend with the Holy Star, the Bose clan, or the ten thousand races!
This deadlock couldn't be broken, so they couldn't win. Just repeating the same mistakes would be a good outcome!
They were afraid that this time, even not losing would be impossible!
How to break the deadlock? That was a question without an answer!
Jiangnan took a deep breath. So this was why Uncle Li told him to surpass his predecessors, even surpass Jiang Fan?
Only then might it be possible to break this no-win situation!
Jiangnan said solemnly: "Regardless of what the Holy Star's next move is, humanity can't afford to stagnate out of fear!"
"We still have to do what needs to be done, just with more caution!"
"Everyone, if you're attacked by Bose bodies, call for support immediately using the snail shells. Prioritize survival. Sometimes you have to give up what needs to be given up!"
"There aren't many top-tier human experts left. Everyone understand?"
Faced with this situation, no one had any good solutions. They could only grit their teeth and continue executing the plan!
Jiangnan's gaze turned to Xiao Chuihuo, who nodded silently!
The creation of god-slaying weapons needed to be put on the agenda, rushed out as soon as possible. Grandpa Liu Qiutian would have to work hard!
After all, cosmic crystal source could somewhat suppress Bose body abilities!
This way, experts like Bati and Martin, who were helpless against Bose bodies, could gain the power to slay gods!
As for the Holy Star's next move, Jiangnan wanted to ask Ku Po for information!
But unfortunately, he had no good way to contact him. Last time he infiltrated the Star Palace, he had hoped to run into Ku Po!
He wanted to leave a permanent means of contact, but fate wasn't cooperating. Ku Po didn't show up!
He could only wait for Ku Po to contact him!
The meeting lasted until late at night. The light projections dispersed. There was no time to rest. The various countries began to take action!
Zi Yuan rubbed her eyes and went back to sleep. After all, that was her job!
Yang Jian asked: "Void Sea, when are you setting off?"
Jiangnan grinned: (•́◡•̀๑) "Just one more night. We'll leave at dawn!"
At this, Xia Yao grinned widely and stretched hard: ٩(◕ˇ◡ˇ◕)۶ "I never thought I'd have another chance to enter the Void Sea in this lifetime!"
"You died once over there!"
Zhong Yingxue smiled: "And you opened it up, saw what was inside!"
Seeing everyone looking so expectant, Jiangnan laughed dryly: (•́ㅂ•̀٥) "This... this time I won't take you all. I can handle it myself. Just a single Egress Loach isn't worth mobilizing so many people!"
"You'd better stay home and work with everyone. After all, your combat power is already considered the backbone of Hua Xia!"
This had been Jiangnan's plan for a while!
Staying to help at home was better than following him into the dimensional gap to wander and look for a Void Sea that might never be found!
Xia Yao's smile froze directly, then instantly turned into a pout: (◦`~´◦) "You won't take us, but you'll take that pink-haired girl? Don't you like beast-eared girls anymore?"
Qian Benying: (︶.̮︶✽) "Oh dear~ It's not like Boss Jiang can do without me, right?"
Xia Yao had already started baring her teeth at Qian Benying, acting territorial: ฅ(｡･ˇ口ˇ･)ฅ "Grrr~"
Jiangnan grinned: (Oᵒ̴̶̷˘ᵒ̴̶̷) "No way, I like them as much as ever. I'm just afraid you'll get speared by the loach. I'd feel bad if you got hurt!"
"Pulling Cherry is durable, and she's a space system, easy to take care of. She's perfect for this trip!"
Qian Benying: (≖_≖ꐦ)
Suddenly feeling very unhappy! Take back that touching moment, you jerk!
You world-famous double-standard dog!
Zhong Yingxue also looked a bit disappointed: (๑･᷄～･᷅) "Afraid I'll hold you back? I can help you. I can use solarization and won't be afraid of getting speared!"
Xia Yao nodded frantically: "Exactly! I haven't even shown you my newly absorbed spirit skills. They're super powerful. And there's blood incineration. Ah, and I also have Polar Day Cloud Vortex to seal skills!"
"Perfect for dealing with the loach. You'll regret not taking me! Hmph!"
Wu Liang's expression was serious: "Brother Nan! Let me take the hits for you. I'm definitely good enough now. It's not easy for me to die. I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve!"
Everyone wanted to help Jiangnan. After all, he had worried himself sick for everyone along the way!
There was no reason for him to face danger alone when he needed to get spirit skills!
Forget the Void Sea, even if it was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, they would still go!
