Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 197 The Divine Mirror of the Void, The Divine Network of the Void

"The Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect does have celestial immortals, but our military has them too. Which of the four major player civilizations hasn't sent a few immortals to be stationed locally?"

Lin Tao continued:

"If Brother Su Yu is interested in this, after the battle, go to the South China Sea Turtle Island. That's our human race's main city in the South China Sea. It has everything you could want. A branch of the military is also located there. You can learn more about it then."

Su Yu smiled wryly:
"You think highly of me. Heavenly powers can be exchanged for tenth-tier treasures and supreme Dao techniques. How could I possibly obtain such a thing?"

Lin Tao laughed and said:

"It all depends on human effort, and the Heavenly Merit isn't entirely based on strength. The military has many super missions that reward Heavenly Merit, some of which don't require much strength. As long as you have incredible luck, it's possible to obtain Heavenly Merit."

Su Yu immediately became interested upon hearing this:
"Elaborate."

"Wait, let's talk after we finish the game."

"Row."

Just as she stopped, Su Yu suddenly heard something and asked again:

"By the way, how does the military determine the merits awarded to individuals?"

Lin Tao laughed and said:

"The military has two top-grade immortal treasures here. One is called the Taixu Divine Mirror, which can see the whole world and clearly know your battle record, whether you have killed alien races, and the strength and status of the alien races you have killed."

"Another top-grade immortal treasure is called the Taixu Divine Network. The military used it as the core to connect all the regional channels in various parts of the island into a whole, and established a super regional channel and auction house covering the entire island, as well as a global teleportation system. As long as you have merit, you can trade and teleport on it."

"Once you apply at the military branch, you can connect to the Taixu Divine Network."

"Oh, so the Great Void Mirror and the Great Void Divine Net are here too."

Su Yu had heard this from Qing Chan. The main island of Shenzhou also has a Taixu Divine Network and a Taixu Divine Mirror. As long as you have money, you can use these two top-grade immortal treasures to instantly communicate across billions of kilometers.

These two kinds of supreme immortal treasures are the pinnacle of human civilization's crafting achievements. They are extremely rare and can only be found in very important places.

For example, the Human Headquarters is comparable in size to the Falling Star Islands, which are comparable to the Shenzhou Headquarters.

Small places like Blue Mountains Island don't have that.

Since he had the Taixu Divine Mirror, Su Yu was not worried that no one would record his achievements, nor was he worried that someone else would take his credit.

He immediately had a bold idea. His gaze fell on a giant wooden ship below, and he reached out to straighten the Azure Cloud Canopy above his head. He then rode his sword towards the giant wooden ship in the center of the demon fleet on the opposite side.

His departure from the group immediately attracted a lot of attention. A large group of horned demons attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of divine lightning, magical artifacts, and flying swords.

He smiled slightly, gripped his sword, and unleashed a hundred-meter-long sword rainbow that swept across the area. A series of clanging sounds shattered a cluster of flying swords and magical artifacts, and the remaining attacks from hundreds of divine lightning bolts and magical artifacts were also blocked by the Azure Cloud Canopy.

Qingyun has 3000 points of defense strength, and damage below 3000 cannot break through its defense.

The combined attack of hundreds of lightning bolts and magical artifacts seemed fierce, but most of the damage did not exceed the defense strength by much, and the total damage was actually less than 10,000.

"How brave!"

On the bow deck of the giant wooden ship, a horned demon leader snorted coldly and pointed at him:
"God Thunder Tower, prepare to focus fire and take him down."

The humans were also extremely surprised to see him suddenly rush out:

What is this person doing?

"Looking for death?"

In just a short while, Su Yu had flown within attack range. He first pointed to the Azure Cloud Canopy above his head and decisively activated the Azure Cloud Body Protection, instantly increasing his total defense to 120 million, along with a 70% damage reduction.

The next second, all six hundred divine thunder towers on the giant wooden ship lit up simultaneously, and six hundred divine thunderbolts bombarded him, engulfing him.

Following closely behind were thousands of steel crossbows, each as thick as an arm, that shot into the exploding lightning and fire.

Ignoring the raging thunder, Su Yu grabbed the Azure Gang Sword and activated the [Sky Rift] technique, slashing down with spatial power. The power of space tore through space, and the dark spatial rift extended to the giant wooden divine ship in the blink of an eye. The thick shield on the giant ship shook violently, and the hundreds of millions of defensive forces were torn apart by the power of space without any resistance.

The whole place was silent.

Seconds later, everyone on the human side was overjoyed:

"Their capital ship's shields have been breached; everyone prepare to focus fire."

Without any command, all the human warships simultaneously adjusted their attack targets, and more than 20,000 human players in the air also charged forward.

However, the Horned Demons reacted quickly, with two Wrathful Whale Ships immediately rushing forward to protect them, and more than 20,000 Horned Demons swarming up in the air to intercept them, and the two sides instantly engaged in a chaotic battle.

The commander on the giant wooden ship was filled with shock and rage, pointing at Su Yu and roaring:

"Let's unleash another wave of concentrated fire to kill him."

However, his reaction was a beat too slow. Su Yu had already gathered a primordial water mine and sent it crashing down onto the giant wooden divine ship. In an instant, the primordial Gui water essence and Taiyin Xuanyin true water exploded, engulfing the entire warship and sweeping away nearly three thousand horned demons, hundreds of divine thunder towers, and war weapons such as fire god crossbows on the giant wooden divine ship. The huge warship instantly became empty, with only a few scattered people escaping out.

The truly powerful experts are all in the air; those on the warships are merely tools providing magical power, and their strength is quite weak.

His innate water mine could instantly kill even a rogue immortal who was caught off guard, let alone a mere tool like this.

With everyone on the ship dead, Su Yu immediately rushed into the giant wooden vessel, jumped onto the deck, and pressed his hand onto the deck. His eyes lit up:
"Very good, the ship owner is dead too."

Immediately activate the Treasure-Collecting Technique.

At this point, the warship's shields had been broken, there was no one on board, and the ship's owner was dead. The ship was temporarily ownerless and could be seized by force.

Countless beams of light shot out and enveloped the warship, causing the enormous wooden divine vessel to rapidly shrink to the size of a palm, which it then stored away right under the noses of the other horned demons around it.

"Shit!"

Lin Tao was utterly shocked:
"Brother Su, you're too fierce! You just snatched a giant wooden divine ship right under their noses. By the way, can you still use that supernatural power of yours?"

"No, you can only use it once a day." "Oh."

"Would what I did count as destroying a warship?"

"Of course it counts."

"Damn, you've really pulled off a spectacular move. You stole 10000 merit points and 1 minor merit point from a giant wooden ship. There are nearly 3000 people on the deck, each with at least 3,000 merit points. This move has yielded over 13,000 merit points."

Su Yu clicked her tongue and said:
"This isn't that difficult."

"Isn't that difficult?"

"Normally, it would take at least two main warships to apply continuous pressure and a large number of experts to slowly wear down a giant wooden ship. After the battle, the merits would have to be shared among a bunch of people. Unlike you, you get to enjoy it all by yourself. It's so great."

"Oh, indeed."

After stowing away the giant wooden vessel, the size of the two warships immediately became equal, greatly easing the pressure on the human side.

The battle then reached a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

Su Yu then blended back into the crowd, slowly reaping the rewards with his twin swords, occasionally unleashing a Myriad Transformations Divine Thunder.

Compared to their previous high-profile approach, they'll be incredibly low-key this time.

There was nothing he could do; his display of power had attracted the attention of many powerful horned demons, and several top experts below the level of Loose Immortal were eyeing him, wanting to kill him.

He wasn't afraid, but he was unfamiliar with the place and the people there, so showing off too much wasn't a good choice.

They would quietly strike from within the crowd, working alongside the team, unleashing a natural water mine every hour to instantly kill hundreds of people, before retreating back into the fray.

This back-and-forth continued, with both sides losing more and more men, but thanks to the resurrection array, the two sides remained deadlocked for more than ten hours, and the number of men did not decrease much.

until
"Everyone cease fire and retreat with the fleet."

Suddenly, an order was given, and Su Yu saw the two races that had been fighting to the death just moments before stop fighting one by one. The warships below also stopped activating the Divine Thunder Tower and gradually retreated.

Su Yu was completely confused and transmitted her voice to Lin Tao:

"Bro, what's going on? Are you not fighting anymore?"

Lin Tao nodded and said:
"Yes, the two sides are evenly matched. Since no one can be determined to win, let's stop the fighting. We can't keep dragging this out, or how many people will die?"

"Uh"

"It's all thanks to you that one of their giant wooden ships was destroyed; otherwise, they would have been in a stronger position and might not have been willing to cease hostilities."

"You'll understand once you stay here a while; this kind of situation is very common."

"After all, everyone's life is at stake. Unless you are confident that you can defeat your opponent, in general, when the two sides are evenly matched, the fighting will stop after a period of stalemate."

"Ok."

There's not much more to say after that; both sides retreated, and then the fleets returned to port.

Su Yu followed Lin Tao back to a giant wooden ship. As soon as they stepped off the deck, several people approached them. Lin Tao pointed to the man in the center and introduced him:
"Brother Su, this is Kong Lingxu, the vice leader of my Tianyun Gang."

Kong Lingxu smiled and extended his hand, saying:

"Brother Su's display of divine power in destroying one of the enemy's main warships has truly broadened my horizons."

Su Yu said modestly:
"Usually, it's because the other side was careless."

"Brother Su is too modest. There was no carelessness on the battlefield, only strength."

Su Yu smiled and went straight to the point:
"Is there something you need from Chairman Kong?"

Kong Lingxu's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"I know you have just seized a giant wooden ship. May I ask if you would be willing to sell it?"

Su Yu nodded and said:
"Of course, how much can you offer?"

"How about 10000 gold?"

He explained:

“A brand new Giant Wooden Divine Ship normally costs 15000 gold, but that price includes all the Divine Thunder Towers on board. Your ship has all its Divine Thunder Towers destroyed and needs to be reinstalled, so its value has decreased.”

"can!"

He would sell it for 8000 gold, let alone 10000.

This thing needs someone to unleash its power, and he's all alone now, so keeping it around is pointless.

There's no need to think about saving it for the Thousand Star Palace in the future. He would have thought that way in the past, but now the Thousand Star Palace has no shortage of resources. They don't lack sixth-tier giant wooden divine ships, unless it's a super warship of the seventh tier or above.

The two parties reached an agreement and the transaction was completed quickly.

With 10,000 gold coins in hand, Su Yu now has over 100,000 gold coins, totaling 105603 gold coins.

Five minutes later, Su Yu bid farewell to Lin Tao and the others, left the fleet, and flew north.

He sped through the air at high speed, checking the map as he went.

The map was a standard map given to ordinary members of the Tianyun Gang by Kong Lingxu. It only included topographical maps of the South China Sea and Southeast China Sea of ​​the Falling Star Islands, as well as the division of many large forces.

Don't expect to learn anything from a map, but at least you won't get lost.

If you want a more complete and detailed map, you have to buy it from the military at a high price.
