In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve, which is also the New Year’s Eve of this year.
This afternoon.
Yuanwu City, Yuanwu Prefecture's Lixian University Campus, is located in a tower-shaped building closest to the Yuanwuxian Grand Performance Arena.
The style of the high tower building is different from other buildings in Yuanwu Immortal University. The shape is simple, and there is a mysterious space power wandering on the high tower, which seems to be vaguely connected to the sky.
There are several big characters written on the tower - Star Road Communication Array.
The Chinese Alliance has a total of seventy-two star roads, belonging to each prefecture, and each prefecture has a branch of the Four Directions Spirit Gathering Array.
The center of the branch formation is not in the governor's palace of the palace, but in the Fuli Xianda of each palace.
Therefore, the Star Gate Teleportation Array leading to the Yuanwu Star Road and the communication array leading to the Star Road are both within the Yuanwu Mansion's Immortal Palace.
At this time, inside the communication array building.
A huge formation disk is located in the center. The formation disk is constantly flashing and sending out an invisible force upwards, connected to the sky through the spire.
"Aha--"
In front of the array, a middle-aged female teacher with glasses and burgundy hair stood up from her chair, stretched and yawned long.
"Aha--"
Another male teacher on duty seemed to have been infected by the female teacher, and he also sat on his chair and yawned.
"It's already half past three, Xiao Zheng and the others haven't come to take over yet?" the female teacher raised her wrist to look at her watch and muttered.
"Ouch!" The male teacher laughed and said, "If you come late, come late. After all, they have to be on duty until the third day of the Lunar New Year after receiving their classes today, so they won't be able to celebrate the New Year at home."
"We have finished our shift today and can go home to celebrate the Chinese New Year with our families."
"That's true..." the female teacher muttered, looking behind her at the young students on duty with her and the male teacher in the tower communication array, she smiled and said:
"Teachers Xiao Zheng and Teacher Xu will come over to take over later. Then we will have to work with them to guard the communication array on New Year's Eve."
"Hahaha, Teacher Pei is too polite. It's not hard work."
"Yes, the military hall on duty today will give you ten times the merit points. We finally got this opportunity."
"Yes, yes, Teacher Pei, Teacher Zhang, don't worry, we will definitely guard the communication array today."
"..."
Listening to the students' words, the female teacher surnamed Pei showed a relieved look on her face: "I feel relieved to hear you say that. When you contact the school cafeteria in the evening, there will be dumplings made by the foundation-building monsters for you."
"Wow - there is such a benefit!"
"I must take pictures and post them on WeChat Moments. I am so jealous of those guys hiding at home!"
"I also want……"
"..."
And just as everyone was talking about it.
Sudden,
Buzz——
Along with a huge buzz, a dazzling white light appeared above the communication array.
The crowd's playing stopped immediately.
The female teacher surnamed Pei and the male teacher surnamed Zhang looked extremely awe-inspiring for an instant. Teacher Pei's body exploded with purple spiritual power. He waved his hand gently and shot out a white light from the magic circle.
White light immediately spread above the magic circle and turned into a line of text.
[The Star Gate has been condensed to 50%. Within three hours, the number of enemies in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage has increased dramatically. It requires the support of strong people in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage to step on the stars.]
The moment they saw the news, everyone present felt a thump in their hearts.
Eleven days ago, Deputy Governor Wang sent two powerful souls, Pang Ziyi and Tai Shide, into Star Road to support;
Seven days ago, twenty powerful people in the Vientiane Realm and one hundred and thirty powerful people in the Heavenly Realm entered the Star Road to support them again;
Three days ago, five hundred Nascent Soul combat monks continued to rush to Star Road;
Today, are even the troops in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage beginning to be scarce?
Buzz——
Teacher Pei only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately activated the formation to send the message from the Star Road to the Governor's Mansion.
And after that, he took out the communication magic weapon and said in a very calm tone: "Principal Li, the situation on Star Road is urgent again. I have reported to the Governor's Mansion that by evening, Star Gate may need more than twenty heavenly beings.
A very good teacher.”
After informing Li Shichen, Teacher Pei looked at the young students present: "You go back to the dormitory to tidy up, and by the way, call your Jindan and Foundation-building classmates and tell them to get ready..."
"This year... I may not be able to celebrate the New Year at home."
After doing this, Teacher Pei nodded to Teacher Zhang beside him and dialed his home phone number. After more than thirty seconds, the call was connected.
She scolded: "You brat, you answered the phone so late, are you playing games again!?"
"Tell your dad that I won't go back today and ask him to take you to the restaurant downstairs for dinner."
"That's it, hang up!"
"..."
…
…
7pm.
Makino Castle.
Lu Chuan was sitting on the sofa with his parents watching the spiritual TV.
At this time, he was complaining crazily in his heart, feeling that the world was full of youth, but... the voice was a little too noisy.
TV: "叽 电 叽 哩 哩 电 叽 叽 叽 叽 ..."
The pot used to cook dumplings in the kitchen: "Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling..."
Outside the window: "Jiu'er - Jiu'er - Jiu'er -"
"Dong-dong-dong-"
"Crack, crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle..."
Parents: "Click, click, click, click..."
"The dumplings are almost ready, get ready to serve the rice!" Suddenly, Mother Lu threw the melon seed peels in her hand into the trash can, stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Father Lu patted Lu Chuan's thigh: "Quick, go down with the firecrackers. When the meal is ready, you can set off the firecrackers first."
"All right……"
Lu Chuan reluctantly picked up the spiritual firecrackers that had been prepared on the table and walked out the door.
Setting off cannons before the New Year's Eve dinner heralds a prosperous coming year. From the age of seven, Lu Chuan has been doing the job of setting off cannons.
Click.
Lu Chuan opened the door and was about to throw the spiritual firecrackers out.
Buzz——
The phone suddenly vibrated.
[Army Palace Urgent Recruitment: The situation on Yuanwu Star Road is critical, and a large number of Foundation Establishment monks and Golden Core cultivators are needed to rush to the rescue. The emergency teleportation arrays from various cities in Yuanwu Mansion to Yuanwu City have been opened. The Military Palace hereby calls on all Yuanwu
All foundation-building monks and golden elixir monks in the mansion, except for the formation masters, immediately go to support!】
Looking at the text message in his hand, Lu Chuan was startled for a moment, then subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the night sky.
At this time, countless fireworks of different colors are blooming in the dark night sky, gorgeous and beautiful.
Under the fireworks, thousands of houses are brightly lit.
There was an inexplicable emotion hanging over his heart.
Thousands of lights are on, and every household can spend the New Year with dignity. This is an unprecedented peaceful scene...
But this peaceful atmosphere needs someone to protect it!
"Xiaochuan! The dumplings are ready! Let's fire off the cannons!"
Father Lu's urging voice came from inside the house.
"Okay!" Lu Chuan replied immediately, and then the spiritual firecrackers started burning.
Amidst the crackling of spiritual firecrackers, Lu Chuan ran home, picked up the dumplings and ate them carefully one by one.
Afterwards, he went upstairs, picked up his big backpack, and said to his parents who were still eating: "Mom and Dad, I have something to do and I have to go out now."
Mother Lu looked stunned, but Father Lu seemed to realize something. He grabbed Mother Lu's hand hard, nodded heavily to Lu Chuan, and said firmly: "Okay! Go, son!"
…
At the same time, in various cities in Yuanwu Mansion, countless families were performing scenes similar to the Lu family.
Countless monks, whether they were students from the Immortal University or old men with gray hair on their temples, all carried heavy backpacks and ran through the empty streets, resolutely heading towards the emergency teleportation array of the City Lord's Mansion.
On New Year's Eve, when thousands of homes were lit up with lights, they chose to go to the star road... don their armor and go to war!
