The panic of the shaman high priest and others first affected the royal families and tribal leaders of the extraterritorial countries, and then began to spread among the extraterritorial religions, and finally affected the entire extraterritorial clans, and the great names of the Nine Netherworld soon spread throughout the grasslands, Gobi, forests, and snow fields, and the soul masters of the Hades under their command also became familiar.

Although the vast majority of people have never actually seen the Soul Masters of the Hades, those who have seen them with their own eyes convey their horrors to the ears of every citizen, and they can't help but believe it.

There are many speculations about how many zombie underworld and geist soul masters the Nine Netherworld have, many people think that the number is not below the human race, and some people think that the number is not so exaggerated, but everyone recognizes that the deceased is the source of the soul master of the Hades army, so the cremation policy quickly spread.

More and more monk spies were sent to the northern clouds, trying every means to spy on the secrets of the Nine Netherworlds, the enemy is not terrible, what is terrible is that they don't know anything about the enemy.

Now everyone generally understands that although the soul master of the Hades Army is very powerful, it has to be below freezing to maintain combat effectiveness, and the colder the environment, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

The temperature in the place where the Terrans and other races gathered was above freezing most of the time, so the Nine Netherworld was not in a hurry to attack, they were waiting for a suitable climate to appear.

In recent years, the temperature of Dongshengzhou has decreased year by year, although the annual decline is not large, but the trend shows that the temperature drop is irreversible, according to this rate in less than a hundred years, the entire Dongshengzhou will enter the Great Ice Age, and then this continent will become a continent suitable for the survival of the Nine Netherworlds.

Entering the Great Ice Age, the enemies faced by the various races of Dongshengzhou were not only the Nine Netherworlds, but the threat of extremely cold weather was even greater, the extreme cold would freeze most of the plants to death, and the creatures might not die under the hands of the Nine Netherworlds, but they would be frozen and starved to death first.

The conjecture about the Great Ice Age was quickly confirmed by a number of masters of divination in Dongshengzhou, and the results of their divination calculations were highly consistent, and a catastrophe that swept Dongshengzhou was about to come within a hundred years, and no one dared to make a conclusion about the specific time, and it was a consensus that it would be 50 years or 100 years if it was slow.

The duration of the Great Ice Age is incalculable, according to the ancient classics of the Three Kingdoms of China, each Great Ice Age will last for more than a thousand years, but not more than 2,000 years.

This means that even if the creatures of the various races in Dongsheng Continent defeat the Nine Netherworlds, if they can't survive the Great Ice Age for more than a thousand years, they will still be dead.

The countries of Dongsheng must begin to prepare for this catastrophe, and all countries need to stop fearless wars, devote all their energy to production, and store as much food and cold materials as possible.

Expanding the planting area of grain and other cash crops, increasing the output per unit of crop, and improving the storage technology and life span of grain, meat, cotton, and other kinds of materials are all problems that Dongsheng countries urgently need to solve.

The refining sects, which were not valued in the past, immediately became the focus of attention, and various countries, from the official to the non-governmental, increased the attention and investment of the refining sects, hoping to solve these problems through the rapid improvement of refining technology.

Storage magic weapons are very suitable for storage because of their static space and time, completely closed, but the materials used to refine them are extremely difficult to find, and the refining skills are very demanding, and it is difficult to form mass production.

At the same time, the space of the storage magic weapon is limited, and all the items inside the magic weapon will be annihilated after being destroyed, so the rear production capacity is used to hold some small quantities of valuables, and it is obviously not suitable to use them to store the food and other necessary materials of the creatures of Dongshengzhou for thousands of years, so they cannot bear the mainstream storage method.

As the weather gradually turns colder, the area actually controlled by countries outside the region begins to decrease, livestock and grain production declines, and the call for ethnic groups outside the region to move south is getting louder and louder.

In the autumn of the tenth year of Tiansheng, a conference related to the future fate of Dongshengzhou was held on the site of the original Guisui City, and all the countries of Dongshengzhou sent high-level representatives to attend the meeting.

The kings of the three kingdoms of China were all present, and the Huaxia clan controlled the most fertile and habitable apprentices in Dongshengzhou, and if they did not participate in this conference, the idea of the southward migration of foreign countries could not be realized at all, and the result of forcibly moving south was the beginning of a new war.

What is quite surprising is that the Blue Dragon Demon King of the Heavenly Demon Forest and the Japanese envoy of the Daomen Spirit Domain also attended this conference, and the position of the two countries is further south than that of the Song State, if they can participate in the resettlement work of the foreign countries, it will greatly reduce the burden of the three kingdoms of China.

The conference discussed not only the issue of the resettlement of countries outside the region to the south, but also the integration of ethnic groups outside the region and the independence of faith after the migration to the south.

The foreign countries are very jealous of the strong cultural erosion of the three Chinese countries, and the foreign powers and strong clans that have invaded the Chinese region since ancient times will eventually be assimilated by the three Chinese kingdoms, and many strong clans will even disappear from history, which makes many foreign ethnic groups who want to retain their own national characteristics worried.

The three countries of China have come up with a very attractive policy of ethnic autonomy and ethnic coexistence, opening up areas within the three countries that are specially designed to accommodate the southward migration of ethnic groups from outside the region, and the specific resettlement sites will be negotiated by each country.

The three countries of China allowed foreign countries to retain their original lifestyles and habits, and encouraged inter-ethnic exchanges and integration while retaining their national characteristics.

It was preliminarily determined that the tribes in the eastern part of Xifan, the southern part of Mengyuan, Jinliao, and the western part of the Western Regions who were mainly farming moved to the Song State, and these tribes accounted for more than 40% of all the tribes that migrated south, and they could barely be digested by the strong national strength of the Song State.

The remaining downstream pastoral tribes are partly relocated to the Tang and Ming dynasties, and some are moved to the border between the Tang and Ming dynasties, including the Hetao area, which will connect the original defensive buildings of the Tang and Ming dynasties with the defensive buildings established by foreign countries, and establish a complete defensive line as the first line of defense against the Nine Netherworlds.

Then, in the Tang and Ming dynasties, according to the trend of the river and the mountain, two defense lines were established, and a fourth defense line was established on the river, the first line of Lingnan and the Heavenly Demon Forest was the fifth line of defense, and the Daomen Spirit Domain was the last refuge of the various ethnic groups in Dongshengzhou.

The Blue Dragon Demon King of the Heavenly Demon Forest said that he could accept the demon clan compatriots from foreign countries, and at the same time was willing to send demon clan monks to the forefront of Tang Ming to assist in guarding the first line of defense, in exchange for the fact that the demon cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Forest should enjoy the same treatment and respect as the people of foreign countries in each country.

The request of the Heavenly Demon Forest was not excessive, and it was agreed by the participating countries to include the Heavenly Demon Forest in the scope of the treaty.

The Daomen Spiritual Domain has never been involved in mainland affairs, but this time it even said that it could accept clansmen from the three kingdoms of China, share the unique cultivation resources of the Daomen Spiritual Domain, and carry out extensive cooperation and transactions with various countries on the basis of reciprocity and mutual benefit.

At the same time, the Daomen Spirit Domain provided detailed information about the Nine Netherworlds, and promised to send 10,000 Holy Healers to the first line of defense to cooperate in the defense, so as to improve the army's medical and healing capabilities.

The attainments of the Daomen Spiritual Domain in terms of elixir and medical science far surpass those of other countries in Dongshengzhou, especially the Holy Healers cultivated by the Daomen Spiritual Domain, who have a strong healing ability, and with their blessings, the death and casualty rate of soldiers and monks in various countries in battle will be greatly reduced, and at the same time, the Holy Healer's exorcism and soul suppression spells are also very strong, and they are the natural enemies of soul masters.

Song Guo said that he would send the prince to lead a large army to support the first line of defense, and at the same time took the initiative to bear a large amount of relocation and resettlement costs and the cost of building and improving the first line of defense, which alleviated the economic pressure of various countries and allowed the relocation plan to be implemented, which won unanimous praise from all countries.

In order to avoid the Nine Netherworld Clan's military peak, the relocation of the Extraterritorial Clan to the south and the establishment of a defensive line was only the first step, and the materials for the next millennium battle became an important agenda of the meeting.

According to the classics, after the advent of the Great Ice Age, the area north of the river would be covered with snow and ice, and all food cultivation and grazing activities would not be possible.

However, the low temperature in the area of thousands of miles south of the river will cause a significant reduction in grain production, and in the end, only two-thirds of the territory of the Song Kingdom, the Heavenly Demon Forest, and the Daomen Spirit Domain can grow grain, but the grain output of these three places cannot maintain half of the annual grain needs of the countries of Dongshengzhou.

At the same time, because of the ice and snow cover, the weather has turned cold, minerals, coal, timber, heavy oil and other important materials cannot be mined, and the entire north of the river has almost no output, and the time span is more than 1,000 years, such material needs are simply incalculable.

Moreover, a large number of living beings have to be stationed on the defensive line to resist the attack of the Nine Netherworlds, and the consumption of materials is greater, and the only way to improve production efficiency is to seize the time to reserve materials.

Important proposals such as the grain production increase plan proposed by the Taiyi University Research Institute, the Dongshengzhou Millennium Granary Reserve Plan, the Key Mineral Smelting Reserve Plan and the Heating Material Reserve Plan were placed in front of the representatives of various countries.

The agenda on war preparation materials was discussed for seven days, and the professionals among the delegates of each country estimated the amount of materials needed for 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 years, and then summarized them.

In the end, Taiyi University announced the four standards of the amount of material that needed to be stored before the start of the war: the amount of survival, the amount of insurance, the amount of comfort, and the amount of relaxation, and set the progress target of the amount to be achieved in each year according to the quantity, and distributed the values to the heads of each country.

The three countries of China began to take stock of the caves, abandoned mines and other places that could store materials in their territories, and began to arrange large reserve depots to store war materials.

Next, the conference also discussed the weapon (firearms) research and development plan and the battle plan of the Nine Netherworlds.

According to the current situation, the best weapon to deal with the Nine Netherworld is still firearms, followed by weapons such as axes and hammers with great lethality, and lightly lethal troops such as archers and crossbowmen are no longer suitable for this kind of intensity of combat, and more war equipment, monks and heavy armor soldiers are needed to participate in the battle.

The countries also negotiated the establishment of a unified command system for all defense lines and standards for stationing at important locations and fortresses to ensure the fluency and coordination of the defense forces in the event of a major war.

In the past, the wars between countries could make meritorious achievements, but now that the countries are truce and peaceful, they can only achieve meritorious deeds at the forefront of the Nine Netherworlds.

The plan of preferential fertility and monk promotion proposed by the alliance of monks of various countries caused a sensation, and Dongshengzhou for the first time incorporated the physical fitness transformation of ordinary people and the training system of monks into the national system.

The representatives of the high cultivators of various countries hope to train a large number of junior monks in fifty to one hundred years, so that the monks can become one of the warriors and become the main force in the fight against the Nine Netherworlds.

As the agenda progressed, the details of the discussion became more and more, and countries had to urgently transfer professionals from their countries to attend the conference, and the conference lasted until the summer of the 11th year of Tiansheng.

After the conference, these big men who were in charge of the fate of Dong Shengzhou felt that the pressure on them was not so great, and Dong Shengzhou could see hope.
