Chapter 19, Lord Mingyou
"Once you arrive at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, follow the instructions of the staff. When you enter the Initial Universe, I will not be the one to escort you; a Venerable One will personally escort you." After saying this, the Demon Blade King turned and went back to the meditation room.
Hundreds of thousands of epochs ago, he was one of these people. Upon entering the initial universe, his outstanding performance attracted the attention of the five major powers, and he ultimately chose to join the Giant Axe Arena, becoming a core member. After breaking through to immortality, he was taken in as a disciple by the king and once again ventured into the outer battlefields for training, gradually achieving the status of a king until he reached the pinnacle of kingship.
Of the realm lords and immortals from his generation, those who are still alive today are at least marquises, and several are kings, although they are only at the initial level of kingship. There are indeed not many of them left now.
Whether it's a battlefield outside the realm, a secret realm in the universe, or even within a cosmic kingdom, the dangers come not only from alien races, but also from all sorts of environments, including, but not limited to, those within the human race itself!
The road to the pinnacle of strength is paved with corpses!
……
The saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," but in reality, even just looking at this continent would take a spaceship to run itself to death. Even at near-light speed, this spaceship took almost thirteen hours to approach the continent.
At one of the entrances to the Virtual Universe Corporation headquarters, the authorized spaceship flew at sub-light speed for several minutes before slowly slowing down and finally coming to rest on a spaceship docking platform.
The hatch opened, and 120 powerful individuals, including Ye Muxuan, disembarked from the spaceship. Outside, eleven male and female attendants dressed in blue and white uniforms were already waiting for them.
Upon seeing Ye Muxuan and his group disembark from the spaceship, the middle-aged man in a blue battle robe, who was the leader of the eleven attendants, stepped forward and said, "Fellow space warriors, by order of the Venerable One, please proceed to the hall to assemble."
Ye Muxuan and the other 120 experts looked at each other in bewilderment. As newcomers, they obviously had no choice but to follow the instructions of these staff members!
The remaining ten attendants lined up in two rows to lead the way. As they walked, the middle-aged man in the blue battle robe introduced, "Fellow cosmic warriors, the journey to the Initial Universe requires unified scheduling. We will only depart when a certain number of people have been reached or at the designated time. If there are no special circumstances, your group only needs to wait another seven days."
"The main hall is just ahead. All those heading to the Initial Universe will gather here. However, they are all people who won their spots through auctions in various cosmic kingdoms, while you are people who exchanged your spots for military merits in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. The last three teams will arrive within seven days, and then the Venerable One will personally lead you to the Initial Universe."
The people present were all at least Realm Lord level experts, and each step covered tens of kilometers. A few minutes later, they arrived at a lavishly decorated hall. Inside, there were many people, at least nearly a thousand at a glance.
Similar to the quotas for the extraterrestrial battlefield, among the 1008 cosmic kingdoms of humanity across the universe, the five major powers release a certain number of quotas each era, which are then auctioned off at the cosmic kingdom's auction house. Generally, each cosmic kingdom only has one World Lord quota per era, while the number of Immortal quotas is much smaller, usually one quota for every two or three cosmic kingdoms. Therefore, World Lord quotas are typically priced at 30,000 to 40,000 or even 50,000 Chaos Units. The final bidders are usually Immortals buying them for their subordinates, and Immortal quotas can fetch 300 to 400 million or even 500 million Chaos Units at auction. Ordinary Immortals, even those at the Marquis level, are not qualified to purchase them! Therefore, many Marquis-level Immortals have no choice but to choose another path: to fight against alien races in the extraterrestrial battlefield for hundreds of thousands of years, then exchange their massive military merits for a quota.
Of course, the risks of the extraterritorial battlefield are too great. Even immortals cannot guarantee that they can live and fight for hundreds of thousands of years. Just like realm lords, not every realm lord can fight for 50,000 years and accumulate 2 billion military merits, especially those new realm lords, who die even faster.
Inside the hall, some sharp-eyed experts had already spotted the approaching group of over a hundred people from afar. Upon seeing the ten attendants leading the way, their eyes lit up at first, but then turned to one of apprehension.
Each attendant was at least a Realm Lord recognized by the Origin Laws, while the middle-aged man in the green robe who was giving the explanation was an Immortal! When they arrived here from their respective cosmic kingdoms, they were greeted by only one Realm Lord-level attendant. But now, with an Immortal leading the way, all ten other Realm Lords were there to greet them. Anyone with a brain would know that these people were of great importance.
"It's Number One personally welcoming them; it seems the warriors from the extraterrestrial battlefield have arrived." Not only some of the powerful figures in the hall, but even some staff members on the second floor noticed Ye Muxuan and his group, and they all started discussing it.
"A battlefield outside our borders..."
"Those are a group of true powerhouses, and quite a few of them are madmen!" They were insiders here, and obviously knew what conditions were required for World Lords and Immortals to exchange for a spot.
"The fact that a Realm Lord can survive at least 50,000 years of fighting in the extraterrestrial battlefield requires not only strength but also a lot of luck!" someone else said. "The probability of them becoming immortal gods after entering the initial universe is more than 50%. As for the others, even if they enter the initial universe, their probability is only 10% or 20% higher than before."
No matter the era, the battlefield is always the best place to hone the strong. Rumors circulate that peak Realm Lords entering the Initial Universe have a 50% chance of successfully breaking through to Immortality. In reality, Realm Lords emerging from the battlefield are far superior to those within the universe itself in every aspect. Even their breakthrough probability far surpasses that of the battlefield.
Even for ordinary Realm Lords, reaching their peak, the probability of breaking through to Immortality is practically zero. Even entering the Initial Universe wouldn't be of much use. The Realm Lords who can exchange slots in the Outer Domain Battlefield, however, are those who have survived countless life-or-death trials; their willpower is unmatched by those within the universe itself!
The most important thing to achieve immortality is willpower!
"Inform the Venerable One that the warriors from the outer battlefield have arrived, and the time to enter the initial universe is approaching."
"Alright, does anyone know which Venerable One is leading this time?"
"I don't know."
"I heard last time that this was arranged for Venerable Li Jian?"
"How come I heard it was the ruler of Mingyou Kingdom?"
"It should be the ruler of Mingyou Kingdom."
"The Mingyou Kingdom's ruler?" a staff member exclaimed in surprise. "That's a very, very ancient ruler. I never expected to see him here."
"Let me see... I see." Another staff member checked the information. "It was originally assigned to Venerable Li Jian to lead the team, but since Lord Mingyou is going to the Initial Universe this time, we won't trouble Venerable Li Jian."
"I see. Then let's send a message to Lord Mingyou."
The staff didn't need to know much; they only needed to know which Venerable One was leading the team, and then consult him when the time came. What this Venerable One was going to do in the Initial Universe was beyond their knowledge.
