Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 850 You want to help me cultivate?

"Such a genius! And he's just a new recruit in our Eastern Army!"

General Xue Yong of the Eastern Army had fair skin and green patterns on his ears, which made him look elegant and noble.

He was wearing a silver-white armor, and there was a vertical pupil between his eyebrows.

On the drill ground of the general's mansion, he suddenly looked at his communication order in surprise.

He instantly lost all interest in the battle formation composed of a large number of Void Gods, even though that was originally his purpose in coming here.

In an instant, all the detailed information about Bai Yang was compiled on the screen in front of him.

"A genius rarely seen in countless epochs! Hahaha, and he just so happens to come from my Eastern Army, what good luck!"

"Oh? You're quite talented with mechanical flow?"

Unlike most generals, Xue Yong was probably the most amiable of the four commanders, and also the least like a soldier.

Looking at Bai Yang's impressive resume, he became more and more satisfied, his eyes filled with joy.

"With the Void God as a safety net, there's also a slight possibility of advancing to the Eternal God in the future."

For a powerhouse at the Law Master stage to give such an evaluation, Xue Yong clearly values ​​Bai Yang highly.

Generally, only those at the level of true gods would receive this type of evaluation.

Xue Yong quickly made a few moves on the smart device and listed Bai Yang as a key target to watch.

While researching Bai Yang's information, he also discovered Luo Feng's information, learning that he was still in Wu Qi Lou!

They were overjoyed; the Eastern Army had truly made a name for themselves this time!

More than a month later, Bai Yang returned to the long-lost Manghe Army Island and rested briefly in the stone house.

"The account suspension mission failed. I need to apply for a new mission on the central island to pass the test."

"After we finish, we'll go back to Teacher Haklian."

The disaster-level missions had only just ended in the last era, and the missions in the next few eras wouldn't be too difficult, so he planned to complete them as soon as possible.

The current divine body has reached a height of hundreds of millions of kilometers and a life gene level of 6 times.

In Wuqi Tower, this was not actually the limit of his combat power.

With such a dramatic change in size, his Rhinoceros Emperor Divine Transformation Technique had to be readjusted once again.

On the way back, he had been working hard to make this adjustment, and now he was only a few steps away from the final step, so he decided to just wait and see.

More than forty days later, the freak clone, maintaining the height of an ordinary person, left its island.

No one knows how terrifying power is contained within this seemingly ordinary body.

It took Bai Yang nearly a day to reach that eerie, all-black palace.

As soon as he approached the area emanating from this eerie hall, a beam of light shot directly at him.

Suddenly, a voice came to my mind, as if it were a telepathic transmission, clearly describing the new mission assigned by the army.

Military mission location: None!

Mission objective: Advance to the rank of True God by passing the test administered by Zalupe, the seventh squad leader of the Second Mechanical Modification Battalion of the Mechanical Legion, and join his ranks.

Reward: 5,000 military merits.

Mission timeframe: Must be completed within one era; failure will result in court-martial.

"What!?"

Upon seeing this mission prompt, Bai Yang immediately sensed something was amiss!

Even though he knew nothing about the military's mission system, he sensed that something was wrong.

This is definitely not how a normal task should be set up!

Is it required that a Lord of Laws must advance to the level of True God within one era?

This level of difficulty is even more extreme than a disaster; it's practically driving people to suicide!

They also required him to pass the assessment of a certain mechanical brigade captain to join their ranks. Isn't this just directly snatching someone away and forcing him to transfer to the army?

Bai Yang felt no sense of belonging to the Manghe Army and was genuinely more interested in the Mechanical Legion.

Normally, they would have just turned around, but the Second Mechanical Modification Brigade was the same platoon that Haklian belonged to.

This whole thing seems suspicious no matter how you look at it!

There must be some inside manipulation involved!

"What is this Zhalupe?"

He was furious and turned to leave the main hall. In mid-air, he took out a communication token and began to contact Hacklian.

"Teacher Haklian, my account suspension mission failed, and I'm having some trouble accepting the mission again."

The old man's voice immediately came from the other end of the message.

"Shan Hai! Are you alright? Were you seriously injured during the title-granting mission? Do you need military merits to replenish your divine power?"

"Tell me if you need anything, and I'll exchange it for you first! Take your time, there's no rush."

Bai Yang felt a warmth in his heart, believing that Haklian would not betray him and was unaware of his true situation.

"Teacher Hakren, do you know someone named Zalupe? My mission is..."

He quickly explained his new task to the other party, telling them everything.

On the other end of the message, Hakuren seemed quite surprised.

"It's him? Then it's alright. It's rare for this guy to be so generous, which is a good thing."

Bai Yang quickly inquired about the details:

"What's going on?"

Hacklian said:

"Zalupe is the captain of my battalion. He's a beastman, and although he's a bit gloomy, he's not a bad person."

"His weapon-refining skills are only slightly inferior to mine, but his cultivation is passable. He's not good enough to be a captain."

If your weapon-refining skills are superior to yours and your cultivation level is extremely high, then you are about to advance to the Void True God realm.

Bai Yang automatically translated his teacher's words in his mind.

Why would he do this? Isn't this targeting me?

Harker thought for a moment and analyzed:

"It shouldn't be. The entry requirement for joining the Mechanical Legion is the cultivation level of a True God. He's not making things difficult for you by asking you to advance to the True God level; it's a necessary condition."

"The information about you using my device should have been automatically reported to him. This guy has big ambitions; he's here to steal people."

"He's quite determined to take down the Manghe Army directly and then modify the mission assignment."

"Don't worry, there have been precedents for this. He will definitely provide a lot of resources; even if it's just exchanging for treasures and burning them over an entire era, it will still boost your cultivation level."

"This is actually a good thing. This kind of thing would cost at least two million military merits, which is a huge investment."

"This is a rare opportunity; there's no need to miss it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang immediately understood that this was probably the case.

"Why is this Zhalupe meddling in my affairs?! Who asked you to help me with my spiritual practice?"

Although the other party meant well, he was a super genius on the path of divine power. How could he possibly advance to the level of a true god at this time?

Even with his confidence, Bai Yang wasn't certain he could elevate the level of life's genes to 100,000 times within a single era.

He couldn't give up on this goal, but completing it within this short timeframe was absolutely impossible.

The treatment of the Lord of Laws and the True God in the army is vastly different.

Even in the world of Jin, the general laws require countless epochs to advance and slowly accumulate military merits.

What Zalupe did was clearly a very good way of bestowing favors, something others would beg for.

But for Bai Yang, this was tantamount to cutting off his path to enlightenment!

He had planned to stay here for several more eras to properly learn the mechanical flow, so he couldn't just leave.

"Military court-martial? Are we supposed to wait until Luo Feng receives his title and then plead for him?"

His face was gloomy; that was incredibly frustrating.
