Secrets of the Territory

“He seems capable, but I wonder about his background.” Luo Feng glanced at him, then dismissed the thought. The authorization process concluded swiftly. Among the 101 Sector Lords, there were 2 Sector Lord Generals, 62 Elite Sector Lord Warriors, and 37 Ordinary Sector Lord Warriors. The authorization ceremony for Sector Lords and Universe Levels proceeded the fastest. Although ten internal personnel conducted the authorization ceremony for the Domain Lords simultaneously, it still took a considerable amount of time to finish. “The authorization ceremonies are all complete!” The Immortal’s voice suddenly boomed, echoing in the ears of the tens of thousands of cosmic warriors. “Follow me, all of you. Soon, you will all be collectively teleported to the Outer Territory Battlefield. In this racial war, there are many warriors participating, so there are a total of eleven battlefields, all located outside our human territory. That’s why they are called Outer Territory Battlefields. You will be going to the Seventh Battlefield.” “The Seventh Battlefield?” “All outside human territory?” “Ugh, my teacher is in the Second Battlefield. Looks like there’s no hope of meeting them.” Immediately, various discussions erupted. Luo Feng, however, mused to himself, “The Seventh Battlefield? An average death rate of 96.8%, ranking third among the eleven Outer Territory Battlefields. Hmm, it seems like a good place for tempering.” “Move out!” the Immortal commanded. Immediately, the vast contingent of tens of thousands of warriors advanced. Luo Feng and the other Sector Lords naturally led the way. Moments later, they arrived at a colossal hall, a thousand li across. Within this immense hall were eleven massive spatial channels, resembling water screens. “These are the spatial channels leading to the Seventh Battlefield.” The Immortal walked up to one of the water screens. “The Seventh Battlefield is a Cosmic Secret Realm with a maximum diameter of approximately 1.1 million light-years. Of course, after billions of years of slaughter, the inherent dangers of this Cosmic Secret Realm have been reduced to their extreme. The primary threat now comes from alien enemies. There are a total of one hundred military bases in the Seventh Battlefield, and you will now be teleported to Base No. 026.” This water screen was a full kilometer wide and a kilometer high. Whoosh! The Sector Lords entered one by one. Luo Feng stepped in as well, and soon all tens of thousands of soldiers had entered. … Using a God Kingdom as a transfer station, Luo Feng and the tens of thousands of soldiers arrived at the God Kingdom transfer station, then re-entered a spatial channel, and were directly teleported to Military Base No. 026 in the Seventh Battlefield, outside human territory. … Within the God Kingdom transfer station, Luo Feng took a single step and felt space-time shift before his eyes, arriving at a different location. “Haha, the new recruits are here.” “New recruits have arrived.” “Quick, quick, quick, everyone wake up, get to work.” Shouts rang out one after another. Luo Feng’s first glance revealed over a dozen soldiers in white combat armor. Oh, not all were in white combat armor; there was also a white-haired, white-robed Immortal among them. The Immortal smiled, faint electric snakes flickering in his eyes, and said with a laugh, “New recruits, welcome to Military Base No. 026 of the Seventh Battlefield. All Sector Lords, follow him. All Domain Lords, follow this young man. And all Universe Levels, follow this young lady.” The white-robed Immortal quickly designated three guides. The Universe Levels, Domain Lords, and Sector Lords proceeded along three different paths. “Fellow Sector Lords, ahead is the Sector Lord encampment,” the guide said. A moment later, they arrived at an elegantly decorated hall. Inside, there were tens of millions of seats. At a glance, Luo Feng estimated that hundreds of thousands of Sector Lords were seated there. “Why are there so many Sector Lord soldiers?” Luo Feng was greatly astonished. “A single Cosmic Nation only has a few million Sector Lords, and human territory has a total of 1008 Cosmic Nations. The Outer Territory Battlefield has eleven battlefields in total, with one hundred bases in each. How many Sector Lords can an average base hold? It’s impossible for all human Sector Lords to be participating in the war, right? And logically… many Sector Lords should be out fighting, with only a minority remaining in the base. So why are there hundreds of thousands of Sector Lords here?” The other 100 Sector Lord new recruits were equally shocked. “Hey!” The guide shouted loudly, “New recruits are here! And among this batch, there are two ‘Sector Lord Generals,’ haha…” After speaking, the guide turned and left. “Sector Lord Generals?” “Sector Lord Generals?” The Sector Lord warriors who had been drinking and chatting, tens of thousands of them, all rushed over. When Sector Lord soldiers approach each other, their smart optical computers display the other party’s authorization level. Thus, the gazes of these tens of thousands of veteran Sector Lords instantly fell upon Luo Feng and the other tall young man. “Join our elite squad! Our elite squad is led by an Immortal, so you’ll earn more military merits and have a higher chance of surviving dangers!” “Our squad is even stronger.” “You two…” These veteran Sector Lords frantically invited Luo Feng and the other young man, completely ignoring the other 99 Sector Lord new recruits. … A moment later, Luo Feng and the tall young man were seated at a dining table. Beside them sat an Immortal clad in blood-red combat armor, with a scaled tail. This Immortal, named Taiwo, was an Earth Immortal. Because this Immortal was the first to personally invite them, Luo Feng and the young man, facing invitations from tens of thousands of veteran Sector Lords, ultimately chose to speak with this Immortal first. As for whether they would join, they hadn’t given a definite answer yet. “Captain Taiwo, why are there so many Sector Lords here?” Luo Feng asked. “The Outer Territory Battlefield has eleven battlefields in total, with one hundred military bases in each. How can there be so many Sector Lords just resting here?” “I’m also very confused,” the tall young man beside him asked, equally puzzled. “Haha…” Taiwo personally poured wine. “Let’s chat while we drink, Lunatic, Rock. It’s not just you two; many Sector Lord new recruits are confused when they first arrive, wondering why there are so many Sector Lords! If you interact with more Sector Lord soldiers and chat with them, you’ll understand why.” Luo Feng and the other young man looked at him. “Actually, the humans in the 1008 Cosmic Nations are only a part of the human race,” Captain Taiwo said with a smile. “As far as I know, there are many continents within certain Cosmic Secret Realms. Countless humans live on these super-large continents. It’s said that some large continents can be hundreds of billions of kilometers in diameter, and the population of a single large continent can rival that of a Cosmic Nation.” Luo Feng was startled. Continents? Indeed. The Golden Horn Clan lives in the Lasiao World, which is a super-large continent. The Xueluo World is also a super-large continent. The number of powerhouses on these two super-large continents indeed far exceeds that of a Cosmic Nation. “Within human territory, there are many such continents in Cosmic Secret Realms. These places are permeated with abundant cosmic origin energy, and the humans living there almost reach Planet Level upon adulthood, cultivating many powerhouses,” Taiwo explained with a smile. “This is one aspect. Furthermore, many human Immortals also have vast populations of humans living within their God Kingdoms.” “God Kingdom humans, Cosmic Secret Realm continent humans, and Cosmic Nation humans—these together form the entire human race,” Taiwo said with a laugh. “Many of our sworn brothers, for instance, have lived in a God Kingdom since childhood, or on a large continent. However, their material lives are far inferior to those of Cosmic Nation humans. For example, regarding the Virtual Universe Network, one only gets the chance to access it upon reaching Universe Level.” Luo Feng was deeply shaken by this revelation. He immediately connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network to check the information. With his authorization, he quickly found everything clearly. Indeed, humans, categorized by their living environments, can be divided into God Kingdom humans, Cosmic Secret Realm humans, and Cosmic Nation humans. The ‘population’ of Cosmic Nation humans is not actually that large. One must understand that a single continent in a Cosmic Secret Realm can rival a Cosmic Nation in population, and it’s easy to construct tens of thousands of such continents within a single Cosmic Secret Realm. Moreover, the ‘God Kingdoms’ of Immortals are also immensely vast, capable of sustaining large populations of humans. “Since vast numbers of humans can live on the continents within Cosmic Secret Realms, why is there still war to contend for territory?” Luo Feng had wondered about this question back when he was in the Lasiao World. Only after becoming a personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord did he gain the authorization to find the answer. War is fought for territory! Why contend for it? According to the information Luo Feng investigated: Just as plants need sufficient sunlight to grow, if plants are too dense, none will grow well. The same principle applies! The formation of life is very special. Whether it’s flesh-and-blood life, mechanical life, plant life, etc.—as long as it’s life, it will absorb the ‘essence’ of the entire universe during its gestation. Life is conceived and grows by absorbing special energies from the universe. For example, if there is only one life-bearing planet within a 1000 light-year radius, and that planet has 10 billion people, then almost all the cosmic energy within that 1000 light-year radius will be dedicated to nurturing that single life-bearing planet. As for ‘Cosmic Secret Realms’: A population comparable to a Cosmic Nation is crammed onto a single large continent. The population density is unknown how many times higher, so the ‘cosmic essence’ they receive is naturally much less. And ‘God Kingdom humans’: God Kingdoms exist in spatial rifts, not in the original cosmic space. The cosmic essence they can absorb is even pitifully less than that received by ‘humans in Cosmic Secret Realms’! The information stated— “God Kingdom humans are the most numerous, yet they can only cultivate up to the Sector Lord level. Over countless years, only 9082 Immortals have been born among them, all due to special encounters. Without such special encounters, God Kingdom humans are destined to be unable to become ‘Immortals’.” “Cosmic Secret Realm continent humans rank second in number. Like ‘Cosmic Nation humans,’ they can cultivate to become Immortals. However, the probability of producing a ‘Cosmic Venerable’ among them is appallingly low!” “Cosmic Nation humans are the least numerous, yet they occupy the most territory! Historically, a large number of Immortals have been born among them, and a staggering 98.2% of Cosmic Venerables have originated from Cosmic Nation humans.” Territory is like fertile soil! The larger the territory, the greater the potential of that race, and the higher the probability of producing super powerhouses. … Inside the hall. “Among the Sector Lord soldiers, the most numerous are God Kingdom humans, right?” Luo Feng asked. “Correct,” Taiwo nodded. Luo Feng sighed inwardly. Perhaps those God Kingdom humans weren't aware of the secret he had just uncovered. After all, the probability of becoming an Immortal was already extremely low, and even the birth of Immortals was exceedingly rare. Those Sector Lords probably wouldn't realize this issue. “God Kingdom human soldiers are the most numerous, which is why many Sector Lord super powerhouses come from God Kingdom humans,” Taiwo said with a smile. “After enduring countless trials of life and death and numerous mortal threats, their strength breaks through. They then accumulate vast military merits to exchange for treasures and strengthen themselves. Although they are only Sector Lords, some can completely rival ordinary Immortals.”
