Chapter 62
, Battlefield No. 9, Enter
"Hey, look, more people are coming!" A realm lord who had been keeping an eye on the passage exclaimed excitedly. "This should be the ninety-eighth one. If two more come, we can set off."
Poor kid, you can tell at a glance that this person has never experienced the real dangers of the battlefield outside the region. He probably just heard that military merits can be accumulated faster and there are more opportunities there, so he came here on a whim.
Look at how the other seasoned veterans around are doing it?
One by one, people were drinking and having fun. Lin Yuan even saw a couple embracing and moving together. He didn't know what they were doing, but they were all making the most of their last moments. Only a new recruit like that Realm Lord was looking forward to going in sooner.
After all, the overall mortality rate on all battlefields is over 90%, even the relatively safe Battlefield No. 8 is no exception. It is a complete meat grinder, and few people who go in can come out alive.
Although Realm Lords have better survival abilities than Universe Lords and Domain Lords, they can only be cannon fodder or low-level consumables on the battlefield outside the domain. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would not have left immediately after accumulating enough military merits to be allowed to leave. Those who hope to enter as soon as possible are just courting death.
"Hmm? Wait, something's not right!" His divine sense swept over it again, then a smile appeared on his face as he thought, "So the little guy's lifespan is coming to an end. No wonder he's in such a hurry."
Before Lin Yuan could even get close, one of the realm lords who were chatting noticed something was amiss and quickly pulled the others to their feet, bowing respectfully: "Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"Um."
He nodded slightly, but his gaze did not leave the passageway on one side of the square.
The gates there were opening, and Lin Yuan sensed an immortal-level aura emanating from them, likely from the staff who were there to guide him.
as predicted.
"Hello!" The immortal in silver robes walked quickly to Lin Yuan's side: "I am Zayebu, responsible for guiding the lone warriors to the Star of the Birds. Your information has been transmitted to me at the spaceship parking platform."
I'll ask you one more time, are you here to enter the extraterritorial battlefield?
"That's right!" Lin Yuan nodded with a smile.
"Alright, please wait here for a moment. I need to explain some precautions to the others," Zayebu said apologetically.
"Okay, please go ahead."
After receiving a response, the silver-robed immortal turned his gaze to the others in the square: "You are very lucky because you have encountered an immortal god. Therefore, you do not need to wait for all the hundred realm lords to arrive. You can follow this great one to the outer battlefield later."
Hearing Zayebu's words, some of the little guys who had no idea about the cruelty of the battlefield outside the region were quite happy.
"Great, at least we don't have to wait any longer!"
"How lucky! I've only been here for a day and I've already met two immortal gods."
"Indeed lucky." One of the domain lords said to his companion, "Hey, I heard that those of us below the level of domain lord are going to join the army to fight on the outer battlefield. I wonder if this immortal powerhouse can be our commander."
"If we could venture out together, maybe we could even ask you some questions about understanding the laws!" He said hopefully, but Lin Yuan, who had overheard everything, had a strange expression.
"There will definitely be an immortal-level legion commander, but he will only watch you go to your deaths!"
There's no need to ask for advice; you're too caught up in the constant fighting to even think about that. The one who survives will definitely become a realm lord.
Lin Yuan mentally sentenced the little ones to death, while outside, Zayebu had already divided the people in the square into different teams according to their cultivation level.
He pointed to the staff members who came out from behind him: "Those below the level of Realm Lord, follow them. They will send you to randomly assigned military bases."
Upon hearing this, the teams at the cosmic and domain lord levels immediately sprang into action. Soon, only Lin Yuan and a few dozen domain lord powerhouses remained on the plaza.
At this moment, Zayebu continued, "The little guys at the Realm Lord level, wait here. The people behind me will grant you basic permissions, and then we'll set off again when I return."
After saying that, he ignored the realm lords and did not answer any questions they had about the granting of authority; his subordinates would take care of everything.
He turned to look at Lin Yuan: "Although you are also a newcomer, the immortal gods are naturally different from them. Come with me."
Lin Yuan nodded and followed Zayebu through a passage. A moment later, the two arrived at a spacious hall.
Upon arrival, the other party became noticeably more serious and earnest, asking in a deep voice, "Sir, may I ask how I should address you?"
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan replied directly, "Just call me Ye Fan."
Before coming to the extraterritorial battlefield, King Yanyue had specifically reminded Lin Yuan to try not to reveal his identity, otherwise some powerful alien races who deeply resented him might bully him and cause him trouble.
After all, the teacher had too many enemies, so it was better to avoid trouble. Therefore, he readily agreed and even decided not to use the Wildfire Hundred Slash this time. If he were to use it, he would have to make sure that all the witnesses around him were eliminated.
Therefore, Lin Yuan even learned a secret technique to change his appearance. If the group members were right in front of him, they would find that there was another Ye Fan...
"Yes, Lord Ye Fan." Zayebu nodded and smiled as he continued, "The war between our human race and the other three top races involves a great many powerful individuals."
Exclusive! An exclusive interview with Geng Nu, the author of "Swallowing the Stars: The Golden Finger Only Arrives When He's Almost a God?", available only on Cola Novels.
The entire extraterritorial battlefield is divided into nine regions. Because they are all outside our human territory, they are called extraterritorial battlefields.
"Under normal circumstances, newcomers below the Immortal level will be randomly teleported to military bases in different areas of the extraterritorial battlefield!"
As immortal gods are the backbone of the human race, they enjoy certain privileges. Lord Ye Fan, you can choose the area and military base you wish to go to, and as long as it doesn't violate any rules, our logistics bases will accommodate you.”
"Of course, if you are unfamiliar with these nine extraterritorial battlefields, I can give you a brief introduction, which will make it easier for you to make a selection."
Lin Yuan did not refuse and asked directly, "Could you please tell me about the situation of the Ninth Battlefield? I want to go there for training, but the information I gathered before may be outdated, and I need some more accurate information."
"No problem," Zayebu said with a smile. "The Ninth Battlefield was transformed from a cosmic secret realm with a maximum diameter of about one million light-years. It was opened less than ten million years ago, so there are many treasures left inside. It's quite a good place."
"Our human race has established ninety-eight military bases there, joining forces with Hongmeng's allies to fight against the three top races and their subordinate races."
"Because it is close to the Zerg territory, a large number of Zerg will choose to enter the Ninth Battlefield. If they are unlucky, they may encounter the Zerg Queen. However, the number of Demons and Machines will be relatively small."
Due to competition for treasures and other reasons, this place is constantly occupied by a large number of powerful individuals from various races. Currently, the overall mortality rate is around 94.6%, ranking fourth among the nine extraterritorial battlefields. The safety factor is moderate; even immortal gods frequently perish here. Please be extremely careful!
"I understand, thank you!" Lin Yuan nodded.
"Alright, then I'll take you to the 039 barracks base in the Ninth Extraterrestrial Battlefield later." He explained with a smile, "It's located in the middle of the Ninth Battlefield. You can go forward to venture into high-risk areas to train with strong opponents, or go back to find alien races below the Immortal level to gain military merits..."
Zayebu blinked. Although the four top clans had an unwritten rule that higher realm cultivators should not attack lower realm cultivators at will, few people actually followed it on the battlefield.
After all, it's not uncommon for cosmic lords to infiltrate battlefields and assassinate geniuses of opposing races, so it's also reasonable that some weaker individuals might be killed by the "aftershocks" during battles.
The two exchanged a knowing smile. Although Lin Yuan came to the outer battlefield to hone himself through danger and might never go to low-risk areas, there was no need to refuse the other party's kindness.
Seeing that Lin Yuan understood his meaning, Zayebu felt much more at ease.
What I fear most are those who, after breaking through to immortality, lose sight of their own strength and rush into high-risk areas without considering the actual situation. There were immortal gods who perished shortly after entering the battlefield, and their colleagues in the barracks complained to me.
He continued with a smile, "Ye Fan, I will now grant you access. I think you should be familiar with the process of cultivating to the level of an immortal god, having been to the extraterrestrial battlefield when you were a realm lord."
However, this time it wasn't as crude as when it was the Realm Lord level. The Immortal God level was directly divided according to strength level, and the military merit requirements for different levels were also different.
"I understand." Lin Yuan nodded again.
"Let's begin now."
……
The authorization ceremony was completed quickly. It is worth mentioning that the instrument in Zayebu's hand directly determined that Lin Yuan was a high-ranking Marquis!
In terms of raw power, this assessment is correct, and even somewhat underestimates Lin Yuan. After all, although his divine power is still at the initial level of a Marquis, if we include the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, he can directly contend with an ordinary King.
He knew why the instrument showed this result; it must be that the divine power source cultivated in imitation of the Bitter Sea of Covering the Sky had been detected. After hundreds of thousands of years of continuous strengthening, the density of divine power here was indeed much stronger than in other parts.
While a high-ranking Marquis does indeed have more authority, if he were to enter the battlefield with that level of strength, his military merit contribution when killing opponents of the same level would be relatively normal. The benefits of attacking a low-ranking Marquis would be very low, and the margin for error would be low once his true strength is exposed.
Therefore, Lin Yuan bluntly told Zayebu that the instrument was misjudging his strength.
The other person had a "you're kidding me" look on their face. After all, how could the detection of the virtual universe be wrong?
There was no other way. Finally, after Lin Yuan handed over a wisp of divine power for a re-examination, Zayebu changed his information to the initial level of a marquis.
……
After granting all permissions, Lin Yuan, who had rested in the quiet room for a while, followed Zayebu to a magnificent hall.
This great hall is thousands of kilometers in diameter and has nine vortex-like spatial passages built around it.
Each spatial passage is several miles wide and over one kilometer high, enough to allow large numbers of spacefaring nations' armies to quickly travel to the outer battlefield.
Zayebu led Lin Yuan and some Realm Lords assigned to the Ninth Battlefield to the last spatial passage, and then said loudly:
"This is the passage to the Ninth Extraterrestrial Battlefield. You will be teleported to Barracks Base 039, where your conquest will begin!"
"Remember, while fighting against alien races is glorious, it also carries immense danger. A moment's carelessness can lead to your demise. I wish every one of you can leave this extraterrestrial battlefield alive!"
