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

Chapter 854 Bai Yang's Ambition

Bai Yang's communication token suddenly vibrated slightly, indicating that a message had been received.

A message from an unknown sender has appeared in his message bar.

Military mission location - None

Task Content - Advancement to the Third Tier of the Divine Power Path

Reward: Five million military merits

Task Time - None

After reading the contents, Bai Yang asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Xue Yong smiled and said, "Don't doubt it, this is a task I specially set for you."

"As long as you can meet the conditions and reach the third level of the Divine Power path, the five million military merits will be yours."

Bai Yang raised his head, looked at the Eternal True God opposite him, and asked:

"General, does this mean I won't need to do any other missions after this? I can just focus on leveling up?"

"But without other missions, how can I use my military merits to purchase materials and use the mechanized equipment?"

Xue Yong looked at Bai Yang and smiled:

"It seems you really like the mechanical style; why not prioritize upgrading your life's genetic level?"

Bai Yang shook his head and said frankly:

"There are bottlenecks everywhere in advancing the level of life genes. I still have some notes that I haven't fully digested, so I'm not in a hurry for now."

Xue Yong nodded secretly, accepting this explanation.

The gene map on the fourth floor of Wuqi Tower is so magnificent and vast.

Even if the life gene level has reached 60,000 times, there are still many areas that can be further improved.

In the past, geniuses would only temporarily memorize things, and it would take them hundreds or thousands of epochs to digest them after they emerged from the world.

Then they will encounter problems again, until they reach that insurmountable bottleneck.

This is also why he set such a wide timeframe for the mission.

It's impossible to expect anyone to reach that level; it's more of a hope.

Xue Yong was pleased; it seemed that Shan Hai had truly given these issues serious consideration.

He spoke gently and offered encouragement:

"Don't worry about that. I can grant you the same authority as the mechanical sergeants, allowing you to sell mechanical items and trade military merits directly with ordinary sergeants."

"Or if you'd like, I can transfer you directly to the Second Mechanical Modification Brigade."

"Hakuren will be the new squad leader, and you are free to do whatever you want."

Bai Yang looked at the smiling face of the other person and couldn't help but admire him.

Xue Yong really knows how to handle people!

He actually had some benefits that he didn't mention.

With such a huge commotion today, how could the commander of the Mechanical Legion not know about it afterwards?

After all, the general himself intervened in personnel changes within the legion.

The abolition of Zaluppe and the promotion of Haklen have caused such a huge uproar that everyone in the Mechanical Legion must know about it.

If I were to join the Mechanical Legion, what kind of treatment would I receive, and how many hidden benefits would I gain?

He deliberately didn't say it aloud, waiting to figure it out himself later.

If I were truly a young person, wouldn't my gratitude towards him deepen every time I felt these benefits?

Over time, they had no choice but to submit and bow down; this tactic was absolutely brilliant, a truly open and aboveboard strategy.

However, such benefits are definitely not something you should pass up.

Each mechanical soldier has their own strengths, and the best approach is to learn from and integrate them.

Bai Yang's face was full of joy, and he immediately said with great gratitude:

"Thank you, General! I do want to join the Mechanical Legion, but my current cultivation level is indeed too low."

Xue Yong nodded with great joy and said:

"The mechanical legion's rule is not wrong. After all, geniuses like you are rare, even across countless eras."

"Balancing both the genetic level of life and mechanical flow, most people are already doing well at just one of these things. Unless you're a true god, sometimes you can't even keep up with the speed of your thinking."

Bai Yang naturally expressed his understanding, as there was a reason for such a setup in the military.

Xue Yong thought for a moment, but ultimately did not ask Bai Yang if he knew Luo Feng.

The four leaders are currently focused on the eighth level, so there's no need to create unnecessary complications; revealing the truth would only make things worse.

He offered a few more words of encouragement, then waved his right hand.

Bai Yang instantly returned to the sky above the original desert military camp, where Haklian was still waiting for him.

Zalupe, however, had already disappeared.

The next moment, all the mechanical soldiers' terminals suddenly received a message.

That was a transfer order personally issued by General Xue Yong of the Eastern Army.

Bai Yang couldn't see the expressions of the other mechanical soldiers, but he could roughly guess their reactions just by looking at Hacken's wide-open mouth.

"Teacher Haklian, let's go back," Bai Yang said with a smile, not yet prepared to explain.

Haklian felt like he was dreaming, and was almost disoriented as he was pulled back to the underground space.

Bai Yang quickly returned to his original life.

The only change was that he lost the Python River Army's private island and regained an underground space in this desert camp.

Moreover, upon check-in, a large amount of unprocessed scraps were "unexpectedly discovered".

These items would be invaluable in terms of military merit, and it's unknown which kind person left them to him.

And those colleagues who should have been very arrogant seemed to be very friendly.

Every now and then, someone would come over to "exchange technical information" with him, and then leave some gifts for him, telling him not to be polite and to accept them directly.

"I acquired so many mechanical treasures at Wuqi Tower, I don't need to sell any of them now."

Bai Yang was living a comfortable life, and these things would last him a very long time.

As for Luo Feng receiving a title, that's something that will happen within the next thousand years at the latest.

He took care of all the trivial matters afterward, saving her time.

On the other hand, in the primordial universe.

Bai Yang also retrieved the Wu-killing Wings and began to re-examine the third simplified version of the One Thought Void.

His mastery of runes was already quite advanced, and he also had valuable experience in mechanical techniques.

His progress is unstoppable, and I believe he will soon have a complete grasp of the secrets involved.

Moreover, it's not just that he himself can wear and activate it; his original star clone can also replicate some of the secret patterns inside, further enhancing his already extremely strong spacetime abilities.

The more he studied the secrets within the mechanical flow, the more excited he became.

He inherited the skills of both the Wu and Jin states, which led to a rapid advancement in his expertise.

"If only I could reach the level of a Void God in the final stage of mastering the Mechanical Flow."

"【Mountain and Sea Star Realm】is my trump card prepared to deal with the Realm Beasts. We must not allow any of the ten billion Realm Beasts to escape."

Bai Yang was not prepared to wait until the original time to deal with the Beast of the Realm.

He felt that was too passive, and if possible, he should nip this potential problem in the bud.

However, such actions that alter the plot naturally come with danger, and he must be fully prepared before taking action.

You must never let your actions jeopardize the safety of the entire dimensional universe.

Because he even wants to go through reincarnation before the end of this cosmic era!

The fate of humanity in the Third Universe Era was truly tragic.

"Perhaps there is a way to survive the end of the universe without abandoning the majority of humanity."

"Luo Feng, the future Lord of Hunyuan, can indeed resurrect them, but wouldn't it be better if they hadn't died in the first place?"
