Requesting Battle

From his own Rongbing God Lord, Li Che learned for the first time about the management methods of the 1008 Universe Kingdom of the human race over many intermediate civilizations.

Generally speaking, the number of large, medium and small star systems under the jurisdiction of the Great Cosmic Nation is countless, and the management policies for the star systems cannot be exactly the same.

Just like the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, which has more than 10,000 star regions of varying sizes, the richest part of which is naturally given to the direct descendants of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, such as the Qianwu Kingdom's bloodline descendants and the three hundred kings and marquises under his command.

The other star regions are often divided into two categories in terms of allocation.

One possibility is that an immortal deity voluntarily submits to the Great Qianwu Kingdom and obeys its commands. In that case, the Qianwu Kingdom might grant this immortal deity an unclaimed star field to govern, establishing a mid-level civilization.

Such intermediate-level civilizations would be protected by the great Qianwu King, receiving generous rewards without spending any money. In return, the immortal deity would become a servant under the Qianwu King's command.

Participate in exploring newly discovered secret realms, manage the order of explored secret realms, join extraterrestrial battlefields, and cultivate core geniuses of the Qianwu Secret Realm...

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom has never stopped recruiting wild immortal gods over the years.

Another way to become the master of a mid-level civilization in the universe is simpler and more direct: simply spend money to buy the right to establish a nation in the star field from the Great Qianwu Kingdom Lord.

Such immortal deities are undoubtedly much freer; as long as a galaxy-scale human extinction event does not occur within their jurisdiction, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom will not interfere.

"In that case, the God Lord and that Calabash God Lord must be the second type." Li Che nodded slightly.

"Back then, Qi Yao and I jointly purchased the right to use this star field for 50 million epochs. Hu Feng was in a similar situation, so the ruler will not take sides in our conflict."

"This is what Lord Rongbing explained."

"On the contrary, His Majesty the King does not mind seeing interstellar war. War is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as there is no large-scale human extinction, it will inspire the birth of geniuses to a certain extent."

The Radiant God continued.

"Understood." Li Che nodded.

It sounds like he's going to gamble with the legacy of that Marquis-level immortal, standing shoulder to shoulder with the two God Lords, Rong Bing and Qi Yao, against the opposing God Lord Hu Feng and the Master of Meteorite Star.

"The strength of the Calabash God Lord is not considered too strong. By human standards, his combat power is about 650-700 times that of a peak World Lord. He has not mastered immortality and is on the same level as me and Qi Yao."

"But the helper that the Calabash God Lord found is no ordinary person."

After confirming that Li Che fully understood the situation, Lord Rong Bing began to describe the situation of the opponents in this conflict.

"According to reliable intelligence, the master of that Meteorite Star is no ordinary person. He has only lived for a little over six thousand epochs, yet he is a genius-level mental master with an extremely powerful soul. His combat strength is nearly that of a Marquis."

"Moreover, he has at least seven immortal god servants under his command, one of whom, Iron Sword Marquis, is an immortal god of the Marquis level certified by the extraterritorial battlefield..."

Li Che listened silently as the God of Rongbing recounted the information about the master of Meteorite Star, and then fell into deep thought.

As a time traveler, Li Che was extremely familiar with the situation of Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star.

This person is a peak Immortal Army Lord, a spiritual master and soul master who is close to the Marquis level. He is protected by the Immortal-level auxiliary plant life, Moyun Vine, has created the "Soul Imprint" secret technique, has nine Immortal-level slaves, and also has a top-level spaceship entirely forged from Crimson Copper Mother...

In general, when Huyan Bo unleashes his full power, he should have a combat strength that is barely equivalent to a Marquis-level Immortal God. In addition, with the nine Immortal God servants under his command, ordinary Marquis-level Immortal Gods would not be willing to oppose him.

Normally speaking, if that Calabash God Lord really managed to get the Meteorite Star Master to help, our own God Lord would have almost no hope of winning.

"Given this level of conflict, the master of Meteorite Star will most likely not send his entire force, but only his subordinate, Iron Sword Marquis."

"When the conflict actually begins, Li Che will be responsible for dealing with the Calabash Wind God, while Qi Yao and I will be responsible for dealing with the Iron Sword Marquis, a Marquis-level Immortal Warrior under the command of the Meteorite Star Master. Although he is a Marquis, he is ultimately just someone else's soul servant and doesn't possess any valuable treasures."

The way Rongbing Goddess allocated resources for this conflict was perhaps to take care of Li Che, the Realm Lord. She assigned the weakest of the two sides, Hufeng Goddess, to Li Che.

It is conceivable that these two immortal warriors are facing off against a Marquis-level immortal, and even if this Marquis-level immortal may be very insignificant within the Marquis ranks, they still have to endure tremendous pressure.

However, what they are fighting for this time is the legacy of an immortal god at the Marquis level. According to the information obtained by Lord Rongbing, that immortal was far more powerful than the likes of Iron Sword Marquis in his lifetime, and his assets at his peak may have reached tens of millions of Chaos Units.

If its heritage were sold to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, its value would be quite high.

At least from the perspective of their own deity, this was a situation worth taking a gamble on.

Just as the God of Enlightenment was about to continue speaking, Li Che, who had been sitting upright on the sofa, suddenly raised his hand, attracting the attention of the two female immortal deities:

"Gentlemen, there's no need to take that risk. I'll handle that Iron Sword Marquis."

His voice was calm, steady, and dignified, and the confidence it contained drew the attention of the two immortal gods, Rong Bing and Qi Yao. They hadn't expected Li Che to have such confidence.

"Li Che, I have learned from the battlefield outside the domain that you have the record of killing a top-level immortal military lord, but that Iron Sword Marquis is, after all, a marquis-level existence who possesses an immortal body. Even ordinary marquises under the king's command do not have the confidence to easily defeat him..."

Lord Rongbing persuaded him that Marquis Tiejian was not like those kings and marquises under the Qianwu Kingdom who had been given false pretenses; his strength was genuine.

Lord Rongbing wanted to say something more, but seeing that Li Che's expression remained unchanged, he waited until Lord Rongbing finished speaking before nodding.

"My Lord, I had the power to defeat a top-tier immortal military lord more than an epoch ago. Now my secret technique has been transformed, and I have the ability to face a Marquis-level powerhouse head-on."

"If you two have any doubts, we can go to the killing field and try it out."

Li Che certainly had such confidence.

Inheriting the legacy of the self of all heavens has allowed his comprehension to undergo many transformations, and his understanding of the laws and his development of secret techniques are already quite profound.

Moreover, Li Che is about to inherit the legacy of his counterpart from the Mountain and Sea Realm era.

It should be noted that in Li Che's hazy memories in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he had a record of killing a top-tier Marquis-level immortal god head-on while still at the Realm Lord level.

Although Huyan Bo's immortal servant, the one called Iron Sword Marquis, was powerful, Li Che did not consider him invincible.

Moreover, Li Che understood that he needed such an opportunity to fight against a strong opponent, an opportunity to make a name for himself in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The reason he hadn't directly accepted the Nine Swords Venerable's invitation before was because the Venerable's purpose was too obvious. He saw Li Che as a subordinate with some potential and would take the time to cultivate him, but he certainly wouldn't put in too much effort.

Moreover, the Nine Swords Venerable is too young in the circle of cosmic venerables, with only a lifespan of a few hundred thousand epochs. His strength and foundation are both inferior.

Li Che has big ambitions; he wants to attract the attention of the truly powerful among the five giants of the human race by making a name for himself.
