Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 30 War God Palace, 3386
After glancing at the magnificent sea of ​​clouds outside the window, Lu Jin turned his gaze to the "Regulations of the War God Palace" on his desk.

This is a book with a black cover, and the content inside is very limited, consisting of only one page.

—【Welcome to the War God Palace. The War God Palace is the strongest organization of human martial artists, jointly created by the First Speaker Hong and the Second Speaker Lei Shen.】

All the war gods on Earth, and beings who surpass the war gods, are members of the War God Palace.

The management of the War God Palace, also known as the 'War God Palace Council,' is only qualified to be a member of the council if one surpasses the War God.

The parliament has five speakers: First Speaker Hony, Second Speaker Thor, Third Speaker Merhandsen, Fourth Speaker East, and Fifth Speaker Atkin.

The five speakers are also the five strongest individuals in the world.

The War God Palace features a shop, auction hall, arena plaza, trial tower, and many other functions, waiting for you to discover them.

After reading the "Regulations of the War God Palace", Lu Jin pushed open the door and walked out of the room, following the corridor to the outer wall corridor of the War God Palace.

Standing on the nine-meter-wide corridor, which resembled a city wall, and looking down, Lu Jin saw a huge square with nine arenas.

Outside the square, a dark, surging tide crashed against the square's protective walls.

The vast Ares Palace resembles a colossal palace suspended on an endless black ocean.

Just then, a tall, middle-aged man with a resolute face walked towards them.

Perhaps surprised that a very young War God had come to the War God Palace, and that he, like Lu Jin, had an Eastern face, the middle-aged man stopped in front of Lu Jin, extended his right hand and said, "Young brother, you look unfamiliar. You must have joined the War God Palace not long ago, right? My name is Lu Gang."

Lu Gang?

Lu Jin reached out and shook hands with the other person, saying, "Hello, Uncle Lu, I'm Lu Jin."

There are many unlucky characters in Swallowed Star, and Lu Gang, the God of War, is undoubtedly one of them. He is also the first of the named Gods of War in the original work to meet his demise.

However, this is not the reason why Lu Jin calls him 'Uncle Lu'.

The reason he called him that was mainly because this War God Lu Gang was also one of his own, and a capable subordinate of his own father.

Unlike warriors and generals, when a guard reaches the level of a war god, they have a very high degree of freedom. They are not part of the normal combat sequence, but rather serve as a mobile force for each of the major guard districts.

If you're going to hunt monsters in the wilderness, you can choose to go alone, or like Long Wentao of the 'Dragon Fang' team, you can choose to lead a team of warriors, or simply form a high-level hunting team with all members being war gods.

It was precisely because Lu Gang belonged to the Wei faction that Zhu Xi, one of the four councilors who was stationed in Jiangnan Base City for many years, went to pay his respects when Lu Gang died in the original story and a memorial service was held.

Otherwise, if it were the two major martial arts schools or the HR Alliance's War God, Councilor Zhu wouldn't have so much free time!
Lu Gang was somewhat surprised: "You're Lu Jin? You truly are a young prodigy!"

Lu Gang had heard of this genius, who was hailed as the most dazzling new star in Wei Fang, before him recently.

But unexpectedly, the young man became a war god so quickly, and his strength may even be stronger than his own.

After all, he was only a beginner-level War God martial artist, while Lu Jin was a War God-level mentalist.

Even though Lu Jin's psychic power was only at the level of a beginner war god, he was not confident that he could avoid Lu Jin's flying knife.

After a pause, Lu Gang continued, "Lu Jin, although I am much older than you, we are both war gods, so just call me by my name."

Unless it's a relative or teacher, even if you encounter an older war god, you don't need to act like a junior.

They're not relatives, so he wouldn't dare act like an elder to them, even if the young person is polite.

Otherwise, if word got out, people in the industry would definitely laugh at him behind his back for being shameless.

Lu Jin nodded and said, "Then I'll call you Brother Lu?"

"Haha, I'm a few years older than your uncle. You calling me 'brother' is definitely not a loss for you. You're on equal footing with your uncle! By the way, Brother Lu, is this your first time entering the War God Palace?" As the War God of the Southeast Guard District, and with Li Dawei as his superior, Lu Gang naturally recognized Li Yunqian.

"Yes, I just got the consciousness-sensing helmet."

Lu Jin nodded.

"There will be a surprise later, but don't be too surprised."

Lu Gang smiled and said with a mysterious expression.

surprise?

This Lu Jindong is simply the AI ​​of the War God Palace, which introduces the newcomer to all the War Gods present.

While chatting, the two walked up the spiral staircase toward the lobby on the first floor of the Ares Palace.

They were currently on the third floor, about ten meters from the ground floor of the lobby.

Looking down, Lu Jin could see that the huge first-floor lobby was filled with a large number of sofas and chairs, at least several thousand.

At that moment, several hundred people, both men and women, were sitting together in twos and threes, drinking and chatting.

It has to be said that the Palace of the God of War is the place on Earth where the most Gods of War are gathered.

Besides the numerous chatty warriors, there were also several waiters, numbering around a hundred, whose looks and demeanor were exceptional, dedicated to serving these warriors.

What caught Lu Jin's eye the most was a huge display screen on the wall of the hall, which displayed the number '3385'.

'Besides me, are there at least 3385 other War Gods on Earth right now?'

Lu Jin naturally understood the meaning behind this number.

The reason it is "at least" is because there are many martial artists who have reached the level of War God, but have not been officially certified as War Gods.

'Snapped--'

The moment Lu Jin stepped into the lobby on the first floor, the soft and comfortable lighting in the lobby suddenly became dim, and even the soothing music disappeared instantly.

"clang--!"

With a crisp sound that seemed to send shivers down one's spine, loud, enthusiastic, and joyful music immediately filled the entire hall.

At this moment, hundreds of war gods in the hall stood up simultaneously, their eyes all turning to Lu Jin.

'brush--!'

A faint light shone down on Lu Jin below.

"The War God Palace welcomes a new War God, whose name is—Lu Jin!"

A voice as if from a god rang out, and as the voice echoed, a three-dimensional virtual projection appeared above the hall, displaying three lines of large, three-dimensional characters.

Name: Lu Jin

Nationality: Yanhuang Kingdom
Rank: War God (Beginner)
The three simple lines of text are all three-dimensional, as if carved from stone and suspended in mid-air.

"The total number of war gods in human society has increased by one, reaching 3386!"

As the authoritative voice echoed, the number '3385' on the huge display screen on the hall wall instantly changed to '3386'.
