Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 313 Flame Sacrifice Continent

"A minor title of Marquis!"

A voice automatically rang out from the screen of the Eaton arm guard, and Yang Wu, who had just received the authorization, also immediately received a message from the virtual universe system.

"A low-ranking Marquis?" Eaton was secretly shocked. He hadn't expected that this new recruit of the Immortal God would be so powerful.

It should be noted that although there are countless immortal gods on the extraterrestrial battlefield, most of them are only military lord-level immortal gods.

Even Eaton himself was merely a high-ranking military commander.

Moreover, this Marquis-level Immortal God is venturing into the outer battlefield for the first time. Perhaps after experiencing life-and-death trials, he will become even stronger in the future.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that the other person can live to the day they retire.

However, although the strength of a Marquis-level Immortal God is not much stronger than that of a High-level Military Lord, the most important sign is that the Marquis-level Immortal has reached the point of "immortality". Even if the Immortal God body is completely shattered, it can be reassembled without any weakening of its strength. Its ability to protect itself is more than ten times stronger than that of a High-level Military Lord.

Therefore, even on the perilous battlefields beyond the borders, the probability of a Marquis-level Immortal falling is very small.

Seeing the surprise in Eaton's eyes, Yang Wu remained calm.

He had already used connections when the virtual universe system certified his strength, so naturally he could choose whatever strength he wanted.

The initial rank of Marquis was less than one percent of his true strength.

The reason I didn't choose someone with higher strength was simply because it was completely unnecessary.

If one's strength is classified as king-level, not only will it attract attention, but there will also be extremely high requirements for military merit.

Extraterritorial battlefields have their own rules. All strong individuals who join these battlefields are initially required to accumulate a certain amount of military merit. Before accumulating enough merit, they must be formally incorporated into the organization and obey orders. Only after accumulating sufficient merit can they act freely.

The amount of military merit required is directly proportional to one's own strength; the stronger one is, the higher the amount of military merit required to gain freedom.

A strong individual participating in an extraterritorial war needs to kill at least one strong individual from the enemy camp whose strength is no less than their own in order to complete their military merit quota. Some outstanding individuals even need to kill a hundred people to qualify.

"I've just entered the extraterritorial battlefield, so it's best not to be too conspicuous!"

Yang Wu thought to himself, "A strength at the initial stage of being granted the title of Marquis is just right. It won't lead to an excessive amount of military merit due to being too strong, nor will it waste time by joining a weaker divine squad due to being too weak!"

"Once I've accumulated enough military merits, I'll have a good understanding of the battlefields beyond the borders. At that point, I can leave the team and fight alone!"

After Yang Wu completed the authorization ceremony, Eaton led him to a side hall to rest.

After all the other lone warriors had completed the authorization process, Eaton and Yang Wu led nearly ten thousand lone warriors to a huge hall.

The main hall is over a thousand kilometers in diameter and has eleven extremely spacious water curtain-like passageways around it.

These water curtains are a kilometer wide and a kilometer high.

Eaton led the group to one of the water curtains and announced loudly, "This is the spatial passage to the Seventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield. You will soon be transported to Base 026, where your extraterrestrial battlefield career will begin. Here, I hope that all of you can survive the brutal extraterrestrial battlefield until the day you retire!"

"Thank you, Immortal!" nearly ten thousand lone travelers shouted respectfully.

Eaton turned his gaze to Yang Wu, who nodded slightly in response.

Eaton then looked at the others and ordered, "Let's go!"

Wow!

All eyes turned to Yang Wu, who was wearing dark gold armor.

Yang Wu immediately took a step forward and disappeared into the water-curtain-like spatial passage.

Seeing this, the others stepped forward one by one and entered the spatial passage.

……

Using the divine kingdom of an immortal god as a transit point, Yang Wu and his nearly ten thousand lone travelers arrived at that divine kingdom transit point and then entered a designated spatial channel. They were then directly teleported to the 026th barracks base of the Seventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield, outside the human territory.

Yang Wu felt a spatial shift and found himself in another place.

"Haha, more new recruits have arrived."

"We have new recruits!"

"Hmm? That's not right. Didn't they just assign a batch of new recruits to our 026th base last month? Logically, the next batch shouldn't be arriving so soon, right?"

"I just checked the military system records, and it turns out that an immortal god chose our barracks base, which is why a group of people were temporarily teleported here!"

"Immortal gods? Quick, quick, quick, wake up and get to work!"

Shouts rang out one after another.

As soon as Yang Wu appeared, he saw more than a dozen soldiers wearing white standard armor. The leader was an immortal god wearing a white battle robe, whose eyes faintly flickered with electric currents.

Upon seeing Yang Wu and the others, the white-robed immortal deity first nodded slightly to Yang Wu before addressing the others: "New recruits, welcome to the '026' barracks base on the seventh battlefield. All World Lords will follow him, all Domain Lords will follow this little guy, and as for Universe Lords, they will all follow this young lady!"

The white-robed immortal deity swiftly designated three leaders.

The cosmic level, domain lord level, and world lord level were divided into three different channels.

After assigning everyone their destinations, the white-robed immortal deity smiled and walked towards Yang Wu, who remained standing in place.

"Hello, I am Ward, and I am in charge of receiving new recruits at Base 026!" the white-robed immortal god introduced with a smile.

"Hello, I'm 'Xia'!" Yang Wu smiled back.

"Haha!" Ward laughed. "Xia, welcome to our Barracks 026!"

Ward had already received a message from the military system, and knew that Yang Wu possessed the strength of a low-level Marquis.

While a newly appointed Marquis-level expert might not seem like much in the entire extraterritorial battlefield, they are quite rare in this 026 military base.

After all, the highest-level combat zone within the 026th Barracks base area is only a place like the Yanji Continent, far inferior to dangerous places like the Star Tower and the Twin Star Vortex.

Therefore, there are very few strong individuals resting in the No. 026 military base. The strength of a Marquis-level expert is already quite impressive.

"Thank you!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

"Haha, let's get down to business first!" The immortal god Ward laughed heartily. "I suppose you, Xia, are also eager to head to the outer battlefields to fight as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile.

"You are an immortal god; after joining the army, you have two different fighting styles to choose from!"

Ward explained very seriously, "The first option is to join one of the elite squads within our 026th Barracks base. These elite squads vary in strength and operate in different areas. You can choose any of them, but the other squad must agree!"

"The second option is to lead an army consisting of 100 World Lords, 1000 Domain Lords, and 1 Universe-level warriors. Of course, since you have the strength of a Marquis, we will also arrange for several Immortal Army Lords to assist you. Your task is to lead this army to fight in the extraterrestrial battlefield. When you encounter alien powerhouses, you will be responsible for dealing with the Immortals among the alien powerhouses, and your army will also fight against the alien army."

"If you choose the first combat method, your military merits will accumulate normally; but if you choose the second combat method, and are willing to lead and protect the army, you will receive an additional 50% boost when accumulating military merits. For example, if you lead your army to kill an ordinary immortal god, you can directly receive a reward of 1.5 million military merits."

"Furthermore, while leading the army, you don't need to protect the enemy; you only need to prevent the slaughter by the alien immortal gods!"

After introducing the two fighting styles, Ward asked Yang Wu, "Xia, which fighting style do you want to choose?"

Yang Wu chuckled softly and said, "I choose the first option!"

He didn't come to this extraterritorial battlefield to be a babysitter!

Moreover, he didn't even plan to stay in the elite squad for too long, let alone lead an army.

"Alright!" Ward was not surprised at all by Yang Wu's decision.

In fact, very few immortal gods would choose to lead an army into battle, let alone an immortal of the Marquis level like the other side.

"Your selection has been entered into the military control system. This covers all combat zones within the area of ​​my 026th Barracks Base..."

With a wave of his hand, Ward created a three-dimensional projection screen that appeared in mid-air.

The star map on the screen was incredibly complex, densely marked with battle zones.

Ward smiled and explained, "The military system will send you a copy of this star map through the virtual universe later. Just be ready to receive it."

"In this star map, there are special battle zones. A large number of cosmic powerhouses, led by the four peak races, are lurking in these battle zones, fighting each other. Everywhere is bloody and chaotic."

Yang Wu nodded seriously.

The entire extraterrestrial battlefield is a gathering place for super-strong individuals from countless races across the universe. Countless powerful individuals come here to seek opportunities, collect wealth, and hone their skills... It can be said to be the most brutal killing ground in the entire primordial universe.

Ward then suddenly pointed to one of the directions on the star chart.

The star map in that direction then zoomed in continuously, and eventually an area appeared on the screen that looked like it was filled with countless dense meteorites.

"Xia, you've just arrived at the extraterrestrial battlefield. I suggest you consider the 'Shattered Star Belt' as your first destination!"

Ward suggested, "The Shattered Star Belt is a well-known dangerous area. There are many world lord-level teams there, as well as quite a few elite teams led by immortal gods, but there are only a handful of marquis-level immortal gods. With your strength, you are fully capable of dealing with any danger that may arise there."

Yang Wu shook his head.

The Shattered Star Belt is safe, but how long will it take him to accumulate enough wealth to keep the Time Palace running while venturing into it?

You must understand that, considering the time spent in the Wulong Starfield and on the Augustus Planet, he now has very few Light God Source Crystals left to maintain the operation of the Time Palace. If he doesn't seize the time to accumulate wealth, the Time Palace will really have to stop operating.

Yang Wu looked at the star map and then pointed directly to one of the areas.

Ward then zoomed in on that area.

An irregular continent appeared on the screen, with some fragments of the continent scattered nearby. At the same time, the star map was accompanied by dense text describing the region in detail.

"Yanji Continent: The highest-level combat zone within the control area of ​​the No. 026 military base in the Seventh Battlefield. Any human or alien powerhouse who dares to enter the Yanji Continent will be led by an 'Immortal God' if they are an elite squad, and will also be led by an Immortal God if they are an army."

"Each team will have an immortal god, and the number of immortal gods at the Marquis level is extremely large."

"Among the many immortal gods, military lord-level immortals account for about two-thirds, marquis-level immortals account for about one-third, and there are also a very small number of king-level immortal gods."

"Here, without the ability to be immortal, it is extremely easy to encounter danger."

"..."

Only after this extensive introduction about the dangers of the Yanji Continent did the introduction about the Yanji Continent itself appear.

"The main continent of Yanji has a maximum diameter of 1.8 light-years, and there are thousands of continental fragments floating around it. Among these fragments, the smaller ones are millions of kilometers in diameter, while the larger ones exceed trillions of kilometers in diameter."

Upon seeing Yang Wu's choice, Ward's face showed shock: "Xia, do you intend to go to the Yanji Continent?"

He quickly advised, "The Yanji Continent is the highest-level combat zone within the area of ​​my 026th Barracks Base. It's extremely dangerous, and there are quite a few King-level experts there. Although you already possess an immortal body, this is still your first time in an extraterritorial battlefield. It's better to go to some less dangerous combat zones first to accumulate some experience. It won't be too late to go to the Yanji Continent when you're stronger!"

"If you find the Shattered Star Belt unchallenging, why not try 'Mount Forgetfulness'? There are many powerful individuals here, including numerous Marquis-level Immortals!"

Ward was truly surprised that a newcomer would dare to venture directly to the Yanji Continent.

It's important to understand that even with an immortal body, life on the Yanji Continent is still quite dangerous.

Leaving aside the powerful Kings and Immortals, even those alien powerhouses at the high-ranking Marquis level or the peak of the Marquis level could pose a huge threat to the enemy if they were willing to expend resources.

He certainly didn't want the newly arrived Marquis-level Immortal from Barracks Base 026 to perish so soon.

Yang Wu didn't explain further, but calmly said, "I came to the extraterritorial battlefield to hone myself, and the Yanji Continent just happens to be a good place, so I'm going there!"

Seeing Yang Wu's resolute attitude, Ward didn't try to persuade him further.

In his mind, anyone who could cultivate to the level of an immortal god was definitely not a fool. If they dared to go to the Yanji Continent, they might have some trump card up their sleeve.

Thinking this, Ward continued, "The Yanji Continent is teeming with powerful individuals and countless alien races, so naturally, there are quite a few elite teams belonging to our human faction. However, Xia, you are human, so it would be best if you joined one of our human elite teams!"

Yang Wu nodded seriously.

In the extraterritorial battlefield, the strong on the human side, besides the strong members of the human race itself, are mostly strong members from other races.

"Logically speaking, with your strength, Xia, you could even join an elite squad led by a King-level expert! However, among the many King-level experts active on the Yanji Continent, only three belong to our human race. Two of them are lone wolves, and the other's elite squad is at full strength!"

"I have now sent your information to the military system. All the elite teams active on the Yanji Continent can find it. If they are interested, they will send you an email through the military system. You can then make your own choice."

"Thank you for your help, I understand!" Yang Wu nodded his thanks.

"It's all I should do!" Ward said with a smile. "Now, let me show you the abode of the immortal gods!"

Such matters are usually handled by designated personnel, but since Ward has encountered a Marquis-level Immortal, he immediately decided to do these things himself.

"Okay!" Yang Wu followed Ward away.

Yang Wu and his companion transformed into two streaks of light and quickly arrived at an area tens of thousands of kilometers away along a passage.

As Ward led the way, he explained to Yang Wu, "At the end of the passage on the left is the entertainment area, with restaurants, parties, and other recreational venues, while directly ahead are the living quarters for serving soldiers."

"The military system should have already assigned you accommodation; you can simply check in according to your assigned number."

"As for entertainment... you can go to the left. If you want to go out to fight, then follow this road. You're a newbie, so just follow the veterans in the team."

Yang Wu nodded repeatedly.

Soon, the two arrived at the residence assigned to Yang Wu by the military system.

In the distance, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, there were mountains, rivers, trees, and so on. Although such an environment was not top-notch in the 026th military base, it was still first-class, just like living on a beautiful resort planet.

Immortal deities receive good treatment wherever they are, let alone an immortal like Yang Wu who has been granted the title of Marquis.

If one is a King-level Immortal, their place of residence will be an island with a better environment...

The higher the military merit level, the better the living environment!

After escorting Yang Wu to his residence, Ward took his leave, and Yang Wu went inside to wait for someone to contact him.

……

On the main continent of Yanji, an E-class spaceship is slowly flying through the void.

Inside the lounge.

Seven powerful figures, each exuding an aura of immortality, had different appearances but all belonged to the human race. They were sitting together, chatting and laughing.

suddenly……

A bald man in cyan armor exclaimed in surprise, "Captain, a new recruit has appeared in the military system. His access level is 'Primary Marquis,' and he wishes to join the divine squad operating on the Yanji Continent."

Immediately, everyone else looked over.

A burly, immortal deity standing nearby quickly said, "You'd better contact them soon, or another team will beat us to it!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!" everyone else urged.

The bald man chuckled and said, "You didn't need to remind me. I sent an email the moment I saw their message. However, I'm not the captain, so it would be more sincere for the captain to do this!"

"This is a recruit who's been granted the rank of Marquis; that's incredibly rare!"

"Hmm, to possess the strength of a junior marquis during one's recruit days, one's talent and background must be extraordinary. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win them over."

"I reckon the other teams that aren't full are already contacting each other. Let's hurry back to base, or we'll let the other teams get there first!"

For a moment, the group of people in the lounge were talking excitedly.

……

Meanwhile, this scene is happening in many other places as well.

"Haha, our team is short-handed, and we actually have a new recruit at the Marquis level! With a little training, he'll be able to handle things on his own!"

"Quickly recruit them into our team; it'll reduce the pressure in the next battle."

"It's normal for newcomers to lack experience; we were all newcomers once!"
