I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Their ability to combine their fighting strengths perfectly surprised the leaders of the surrounding factions. They hadn't expected such an excellent commander to appear here. Luo Yuan believed that his actions would definitely be noticed by the super strong people observing from behind the scenes.

This will also contribute to his higher ranking later. Although Luo Yuan did not establish any cooperation plan with the strong people of other camps, everyone will respect each other after arriving here. The rules have been set in advance, so they will leave after fighting the monsters for a certain period of time.

Then, the stronger members of the rear camp will fill in. Only through this continuous attrition can they have a chance to obtain the treasure in the end. Luo Yuan can also improve his command experience and ability in this way, and at the same time, he can observe which full-time members also have this ability. He will mark them and give them control when there is an opportunity in the future.

In fact, this is also a very good opportunity for the local powerhouses present. It allows them to improve their strength and their command abilities. After all, once their strength reaches a higher level, they can no longer rely solely on their personal strength to determine everything.

Especially in battles involving more powerful individuals, strong command capabilities are required. The most powerful individuals in the universe are not the individual strongmen, but those who command powerful legions. They may not be strong individually, but when they cooperate and are equipped with various advanced equipment, they can unleash extremely powerful combat capabilities.

Unless one's cultivation level is significantly higher than that of the warriors in those legions, it is impossible to create a gap between them, because for a super strong person, the combat power formed by those legions is actually very small.

However, those truly powerful beings in the universe do not easily make a move, so most battles are between powerful beings of the same realm. Therefore, the legion battle mode has become the main direction. What Luo Yuan needs to do now is to continuously command the human powerhouses under his control to cooperate with the powerhouses of other factions to deal with the monsters present.

Moreover, during the battle, it is necessary to constantly preserve one's own true fighting strength. Only after the monsters are truly eliminated or have all retreated can the next stage of the struggle begin. For Luo Yuan and his group, the real danger is not the monsters, but the human powerhouses who have also come to obtain the treasures.

Human warriors possess wisdom and equipment that demonic beasts cannot match, so they will encounter more trouble in battle. However, if they are strong enough, they can still gain the upper hand in the battle and may obtain more treasures. He is very interested in the treasures in this eastern region.

However, he couldn't guarantee that he could take all the treasures inside, so it would be enough for him to obtain a large number of treasures, especially the Source Fruit with special cosmic origin power. In fact, he felt very excited at the beginning of the battle.

It's like commanding thousands of troops to fight against those monsters. It looks spectacular, but after a while, you just feel numb, or even no feeling at all. This is because the previous excitement has disappeared, leaving only the simplest and most direct combat mode.

Although the number of those demonic beasts seemed to be much smaller than that of the human powerhouses, they fought much more mechanically than the human powerhouses. Therefore, they did not have any strategies in the battle and relied solely on their strength to crush each other. Time passed quickly, and no one knew how much time had passed.

After all, Luo Yuan and his group had already gone through a very long period of fighting before they arrived here, so he didn't know how many battles had taken place here. But judging from the current situation, the monsters' defenses were constantly being reinforced, so it seemed that the monsters were about to give up.

So, once these monsters' defenses are withdrawn and rendered ineffective, it will be time for those powerful individuals with star-level combat strength to take the stage. Although such individuals are few in number in the border areas, their combat strength far surpasses that of ordinary beings.

Moreover, the human powerhouses will definitely send out planetary-level experts as well. However, according to Luo Yuan's observation, almost every faction present has more than one planetary-level expert. Of course, the strength of these people can only be considered average.

They certainly have no advantage in the middle zone, but they still have considerable combat power in this peripheral zone. Because those camps without a star-level expert as their commander are not qualified to participate in the following battles, even if they come here, they will only become tools to wear down those monsters.

The final result is that although there are still some powerful individuals with planetary-level combat strength here, they are gathered here to obtain treasures. It seems that they want to prepare for their entry into the middle zone to gain the necessary foundation in advance.

Therefore, in Luo Yuan's view, most of the people fighting in the eastern region were just there to use up their advantages. The real decisive factor was the planetary-level powerhouses. Moreover, these powerhouses would eventually distribute a large amount of treasures, leaving very little for the remaining human powerhouses.

However, they were helpless because the distribution scheme and their status were so unfair due to the difference in strength. There is no such thing as absolute fairness anywhere. No matter how much these strong people paid, they could only get a little bit of benefit when it came to distributing the treasures.

They can't even get what they want most because they don't have enough strength to qualify for such high-level treasures. Even if they get such treasures by luck, they will eventually have them taken away because they don't have the strength to protect them.

Therefore, the result is that the gap in strength between the strong will become wider and wider, eventually forming the current pattern. Moreover, in order to maintain their status and persevere, the powerful will formulate corresponding rules, which are completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

It looks very complicated, but the underlying principle is to maintain the existing resource allocation plan. Moreover, even if those powerful individuals pay a price and give up a small amount of resources to those who help them obtain treasures, it is only temporary. They can also take back the treasures obtained by these people in various ways.

For example, they might set unreasonable exchange rates and create price differences between these resources, allowing them to gain more profit. This is a major reason why powerful individuals strive to continuously improve their strength and become even more powerful.

Because they cannot reach the level of those who are more powerful, they will always be exploited by those who are more powerful, unable to break free from the existing pattern. The environment in which the strong live in any universe determines many factors.

For example, their innate genetic level, physical qualities, and innate talents all determine their differences. Furthermore, the resources provided by their environment can make the gap in their strength even greater.

However, most people in the universe are not born into a very high social class. Therefore, in order to transcend their class and become a more powerful being, they must cultivate diligently. Although their talent is average, they can still live a better life than before they put in the effort.

However, as the rules set by those powerful individuals become more detailed and even harsher, their chances of turning the tables become increasingly slim. Unless they encounter some opportunities during their growth or are recognized by powerful individuals, they can be helped to achieve a leap in social class.

The problem is that this situation only exists in dreams, and it is almost impossible for it to happen in reality. However, it is precisely because of this belief that those strong people from ordinary backgrounds keep working hard and striving. Although they know that they may not get anything in the future, they still hope to try.

At least they won't have any regrets. For example, most of the human powerhouses who fought here know very well that even if they paid the price of their lives here, they might not get what they want. As for achieving a breakthrough in their realm and thus gaining a higher status, that's almost impossible.

Because ultimately, only those powerful individuals at the highest level can obtain these treasures. Moreover, these powerful individuals don't even need to take the initiative; they can command these people to fight and obtain the treasures more safely.

However, the rules have already been set, and these people can hardly change them. So they can only operate according to the existing rules. They also hope to gain some benefits in the battle, but it is almost impossible for them to do so. They hope to participate in the battle constantly, even at the cost of their own lives.

This actually shows how difficult it is for people from humble backgrounds to struggle. Luo Yuan, you have a deep understanding of this during your observation. But if he didn't have a powerful cheat code back then, he wouldn't have been able to grow to where he is today.

Chapter 844 Ranking

There were many people fighting on the scene, but they belonged to different factions. However, Luo Yuan noticed that while these people were fighting, they were constantly observing whether any particularly powerful beings appeared in other factions. The purpose of doing so was to prepare in advance for the process of seizing treasures after defeating those monsters.

Since all the strong individuals from all the factions present were competitors to them, observing their movements in advance was of great significance to them. Luo Yuan was the same way, but he mainly focused on whether these people possessed talents that he valued, because he didn't place much importance on their strength.

Because the number of strong individuals in the peripheral areas is not large, and the difference in their strength is not very significant, Luo Yuan felt that among all the strong individuals present, there would be very few who were stronger than him. Therefore, he paid more attention to who could become the people he would manage the entire planet in the future.

Moreover, during the battle, these human powerhouses maintained a relatively strong level of strength, while the demonic beasts were different. They lacked the treasures and combat equipment possessed by the human powerhouses and could only rely on their physical strength to fight.

Therefore, they are at a great disadvantage because humans can use ranged attacks without consuming their own energy to form a powerful fighting force. So, those monsters have to pay a heavy price to get close to human powerhouses. Under such circumstances, human powerhouses will definitely gain more advantages.

Moreover, there are far more human experts than demonic beasts in this battle. Therefore, with the balance of power shifting, the human experts will ultimately emerge victorious. Everyone present understands that the most crucial moment is yet to come, when they will have to fight each other to seize the treasure.

Although they formed a temporary cooperative relationship when dealing with monsters due to their shared abilities, once the threat of monsters is gone, they will fight each other for treasures, a situation that is difficult to avoid anywhere.

Moreover, as the battle continued, the truly powerful beings among the demonic beasts eventually made their move. In particular, those planetary-level demonic beasts that were originally in the command area were brought out from the center and fought alongside human beings of the same level.

Luo Yuan was observing the battle among these people, because to him, these people were the most crucial factor in determining whether he could obtain the treasure in the end. Moreover, Luo Yuan's strength was much greater than theirs, but if these people gathered together, their combined fighting power would still be very strong, enough to pose a huge threat to Luo Yuan.

Now Luo Yuan can learn about the strength and status of these people in advance while observing them, so they won't know how to deal with them. Of course, while Luo Yuan is observing others, they are also observing him. Luo Yuan is well aware of this situation, but he always hides behind the scenes to manipulate things, so he will not let his strength be truly revealed to others.

Even if the other leaders of their own group noticed Luo Yuan's presence, they wouldn't consider him a significant threat. Luo Yuan only needed to wait for the right time, allowing them to vie for the treasures while he reaped the benefits.

The entire eastern region is currently in a state of war. In order to protect the areas and treasures they control, the demonic beasts are constantly resisting the attacks of the human powerhouses. However, the human powerhouses are also using various means to try to eliminate or drive away these demonic beasts in order to obtain the treasures.

Therefore, there is no right or wrong in this battle, only differences in interests. The strong among them know very well that if they linger here for too long, they will only consume more of their strength, which will put them at a disadvantage in the subsequent struggle. Therefore, they must eliminate those monsters at the lowest possible cost.

However, those demonic beasts would not easily give up the territory they had painstakingly occupied. Even if they knew that they could not ultimately win, they still had to persist here to wear down the number of these human powerhouses and make them pay the price. Only in this way could they truly feel at ease and leave this place.

Because if human powerhouses consume enough of their resources, even if they obtain the treasures here, the demonic beasts can return and completely reclaim the lost territory after they leave. Therefore, it would be difficult for human powerhouses to truly cultivate more powerful beings again.

This process takes a lot of time, and this time difference is enough for these demonic beasts to have ample time to wait for the treasures to mature, acquire them, and digest them to improve their strength. As a result, the battles between the demonic beasts and the human powerhouses are becoming longer and longer.

However, for human powerhouses, they would rather spend more time than waste most of their combat power here, because humans have enough time to wait, but these demonic beasts cannot, so there is no need to waste a lot of resources for a temporary victory or defeat.

As expected, after fighting for a long time, the main combat power of those demonic beasts was constantly depleted. They also knew that there was no point in continuing to fight, so they all retreated. Even those demonic beasts with planetary-level combat power fled directly from this area.

For them, the treasures in this area do not significantly enhance their strength. The reason they remain here is that their combat power is not advantageous in the central area, but when they are in this peripheral area, they can become overlords and maintain their enormous advantage.

That's why they've stayed here. But when faced with danger, they'll prioritize their own safety. They've realized that continuing to fight will ultimately lead to defeat, so there's no need to waste time and energy and they should start evacuating immediately.

Just as these demonic beasts retreated, the human warriors who had been attacking immediately ceased their assault. They knew that a more intense battle would soon ensue between them and the other factions, so maintaining their current fighting strength was of utmost importance.

However, none of them immediately headed to the area containing the treasures, because they knew that once someone made a move, it would arouse the hostility of powerful figures from other factions, since the final distribution of all the treasures would depend on the difference in strength between everyone.

If one abandons everything to seize treasures without making sufficient preparations, it is tantamount to openly declaring war on all the powerful factions. Moreover, according to the previously established rules, these people must win in the following battles before they will be qualified to distribute the treasures.

As for the distribution of treasures, it depends on whether their strength qualifies them to receive them. The amount of treasures distributed is also determined by their strength ranking. Moreover, this ranking will lead to battles between different factions to determine the distribution of treasures. This is a rule that has been agreed upon by all the strong members of all factions.

This rule was established long ago by the most powerful star-level lord on this planet. Although obtaining treasures could make a powerful person's strength increase more rapidly, they also understood that the number of treasures was often less than the number of powerful people.

Therefore, to obtain more treasures, one must fight. However, as a powerful planetary lord, he was unwilling to allow too many powerful individuals on this planet to fight each other, leading to the fall of these talented individuals, because this would be detrimental to the development of the entire planet.

Therefore, it is necessary to formulate corresponding rules to restrict them, so that even if they want to obtain treasures, they must do so in a fair manner. This is also formulated from the perspective of a manager. Although these powerful individuals who have not reached the management level are very dissatisfied with such rules, they cannot disobey the lord's orders.

Time flew by, and all the powerful figures from all the factions present lined up in their original formations and began to fight each other. The method was essentially a battle between two factions, and the victor would be able to participate in the next battle.

So, if they keep fighting, they can determine the final rankings. Luo Yuan felt that this kind of rule was a huge waste of time, but he couldn't change the minds of all the strong people present just because of his own will. So, he could only lead his own camp into the battle.

However, Luo Yuan had already gained a very detailed understanding of the strength of the various factions present during his previous observations, and knew which factions were relatively weak. Therefore, he simply targeted these weaker factions in order to obtain a higher ranking.

Otherwise, if you start by fighting the strongest faction, not only will you consume a lot of your strength, but you will also attract the attention of other factions. They might then unite against you. Also, if you consume more energy at the beginning, you will be at a disadvantage in the subsequent battles.

Because the strong members of other factions cannot stop to replenish their energy during the battle, this means that the ranking battle can only continue until the final winner is determined. Luo Yuan had this idea, and the leaders of the other factions felt the same way.

However, they cannot accurately find the powerful members of the factions they want to fight, because their original location has already determined that they can only fight against the nearby factions to obtain rankings. They cannot keep moving their positions here in order to find other factions.

Because while they are looking for an opponent, the opponent will also observe the difference in strength between them and choose to back down. The end result is that before the battle even begins, there is a situation of constant chasing, which looks very ridiculous and wastes a lot of time.

Therefore, he simply chose to defeat the weaker factions nearby before choosing other powerful factions. The area Luo Yuan chose was located in the most remote part of the entire eastern region, so the factions that could come here were not very strong.

This was a choice Luo Yuan made after learning about the rules in advance. However, when he made his choice, he overlooked the fact that the more remote the place, the fewer treasures it contained. Therefore, in order to obtain a higher ranking in the battle, they would need to fight against more powerful opponents.

However, this would take them further and further away from places with abundant treasures, and the factions engaged in battle could not completely abide by the rules. If one faction won during the battle, and the other factions were still fighting each other, they would be in trouble.

They ran ahead to the area with the most concentrated resources, and no one could do anything to them then. This was mainly because everyone was following the rules, but it couldn't guarantee that everyone would be restrained, since the lord of this planet was not on this planet most of the time.

Instead, they roam the vast universe. Even the rules established beforehand cannot restrain these people at all times. Of course, those powerful individuals who dare to break the rules are often from powerful forces. They know very well that even if they do something against the rules here, no one will dare to do anything to them.

On the contrary, those powerful individuals from smaller factions, though deeply dissatisfied, could only endure it. However, if they violated the rules, they would immediately be targeted by many powerful individuals because they had no backing to help them, thus putting them at a disadvantage.

Luo Yuan led a fairly strong camp; at least during the battle, the surrounding camps were no match for him. However, Luo Yuan and his group did not display particularly strong combat power during the battle, meaning they did not eliminate their opponents immediately.

He knew very well that the powerful factions would speed up their battles in order to achieve higher rankings. Therefore, Luo Yuan could wait until their numbers decreased before participating in the final competition. This way, he could not only preserve his own fighting strength to the greatest extent, but also have a chance to achieve the top ranking at the end of the battle.

They will then be able to receive the largest share of treasures. Of course, this is only on the surface, because even if they achieve first place and receive a lot of treasures, they will find it difficult to actually take them away. This is because the Luo Yuan group does not have a powerful force behind them to protect them.

So when they retreat, they are likely to be attacked by powerful figures from other factions on the way. This is because there are many powerful figures from different forces in this eastern region. They are well aware that they must maintain their dignity during the battle and cannot act on any thoughts they may have.

Once the distribution is complete, no one will be able to stop them from doing whatever they want. Therefore, Luo Yuan didn't really take this ranking to heart, because he knew that even if the final rankings were determined, it was still hard to say whether he could obtain the treasure.

However, as long as the number of strong individuals from these factions leaves after the rankings are determined, it will create an opportunity for him. If the strong individuals from those powerful factions want to intercept them on the way and steal the treasures, and if Luo Yuan has the same idea, then we will have to see the difference in strength between everyone and see who will become the prey.

Chapter 845. Response

Chapter 845 Response

Although Luo Yuan knew that the final rankings were not very meaningful, all the strong members of the various factions present would temporarily choose to abide by these rules. Therefore, they still had to fight each other to determine the winner. In fact, they could also learn their own position among the various factions from the process of fighting.

When competing for treasures, one can gain an advantage, since everyone wants to obtain treasures, but whether one can obtain them depends on whether one's strength meets the requirements. In this case, the first thing to consider is to gather information about the enemy. However, in ordinary battles, there may be life-or-death crises.

However, according to the rules, their battles can only be limited to a point, which is a rule set by the planetary lords that they cannot disobey. Therefore, they can use this opportunity to clearly understand the strength of other factions, and through the ranking competition, they can eliminate most of the factions.

This is because the factions that are ultimately able to break the rules, even ambushing and robbing treasures on the road, are generally very powerful. They have powerful forces behind them, which gives them the courage to do such things. However, the strong people from small forces or those with no background can only look on with envy.

Even though they knew the treasure would ultimately have nothing to do with them, they understood one thing: regardless of success or failure, they still needed to try. Only in this way would they avoid regrets. Otherwise, retreating without even fighting would be tantamount to abandoning their treasure.

In the eyes of other powerful individuals, this would be seen as a sign of weakness. How could they possibly gain a foothold in such places? Especially since the powerful individuals on this planet determine the final outcome based on their strength. Luo Yuan deeply understood this principle during his cultivation process.

That's why he keeps improving his combat power as the primary standard. Even if his realm doesn't improve, it's not that important, because as long as his actual combat power is strong enough, it can make up for everything. Now, due to the rules set before, all the factions present have started fighting each other.

So the once relatively calm area was transformed into a scene of massive battles between different factions. The battles looked intense, but they maintained a certain limit, not consuming too much energy, and taking appropriate measures based on the strength of their opponents.

The goal is to eliminate them at the lowest possible cost so that we can continue the battle. This battle is about determining the final victor before it can be considered over, so there is no time for them to repair and recover their energy. Therefore, we need to consider their control over energy and their energy reserves.

It was obvious that Luo Yuan's team did not seem to be very strong, but they always managed to eliminate or even drive away their rivals in the most effective way. This performance surprised the leaders of other small factions around them.

Because they could see from this that Luo Yuan possessed extremely strong command abilities, capable of forming a very powerful group from those with average or even weak strength, and maximizing the abilities of each individual while ensuring perfect coordination.

The combat power they unleashed was far greater than that of their entire team combined, which is why they were able to achieve such an effect. In addition, the location where Luo Yuan and his group were located was relatively remote, so as a result, Luo Yuan's camp was able to overcome all obstacles and did not encounter any opponent that could match him.

Moreover, Luo Yuan also noticed that as their battle intensified, some powerful factions were rapidly moving towards them. The reason for this was that these powerful factions had not encountered any enemies during the battle, and even those factions that dared to fight them were much weaker than them.

Therefore, these people all very much hope to find a worthy opponent to test their command and combat abilities. What Luo Yuan is doing now is actually a very good reference for these strong people, because Luo Yuan and others will definitely have a higher status after they grow up.

In order to control more powerful individuals, it is necessary to integrate their power to eliminate enemies. Now is a very good opportunity. In this left area, a very strong camp has suddenly appeared, which will naturally attract the attention of powerful individuals from powerful forces.
