Yan Ji Continent

In the Broken Star Belt, Luo Feng had spent over half a year, killing many Sector Lords and even five Undying Gods. Although he had given most of the valuable spoils from the five Undying Gods to his brothers and sisters in the elite Sector Lord squad, Luo Feng still kept some items—like spaceships!

These alien Sector Lords and alien Undying Gods had also experienced countless life-and-death battles, killing many powerful individuals from both humanity and the Mechanical Race, confiscating numerous spaceships. But Luo Feng had swept them all away, resulting in him now possessing a vast number of spaceships.

He had only one F-grade spaceship, the Yunmo Star vessel.

He had a staggering 1821 E-grade spaceships.

He had 302 D-grade spaceships.

And an astonishing 800 million C-grade spaceships, though these were the least valuable.

Besides these, he also acquired over 100 million biological spaceships of various tiers.

'Even Captain Taiwo, an Undying God himself, still uses a C9-grade spaceship daily in the Broken Star Belt. He bought a huge pile of E9-grade ships, but who knows how many C9-grade cannon fodder ships he bought,' Luo Feng mused. Many powerhouses spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years in the outer battlefield.

They usually order large quantities of C-grade spaceships at once to use as cannon fodder.

They're cheap, after all!

...

Inside the control room of this standard E9-grade spaceship, Luo Feng sat leisurely on a sofa, holding a steaming cup of tea.

'With this advanced detection device, I can at least drink tea peacefully in the outer battlefield, without worrying about sudden artillery attacks,' Luo Feng thought, sipping his tea. The screen on his arm guard displayed information about various teams within a 1-billion-kilometer radius around the spaceship, yet those alien powerhouse teams couldn't detect Luo Feng at all.

There were very few individuals in the Broken Star Belt who could afford a detection device costing tens of millions of mixed yuan units and had the channels to acquire it.

'Luo Feng, you have mail,' Babata called out.

'Hmm?' Luo Feng frowned slightly, connecting his consciousness to the Virtual Universe Network. In the outer battlefield, he almost always kept his consciousness connected to the Virtual Universe, as it allowed him to know about allies and comrades within a certain range. During combat, it was absolutely essential to keep it active, ensuring synchronous transmission with the Virtual Universe Network.

This was how battles were monitored and military merits were determined.

'Route the message to the arm guard screen,' Luo Feng instructed, lowering his head to look at the screen.

A direct order from the military system appeared.

'Warrior Luo Feng, you have completed your military merit quota and have left your squad. You now have two choices: One, continue fighting in the outer battlefield. Two, retire and leave the outer battlefield.' The text message appeared directly on Luo Feng's arm guard screen.

'Continue fighting,' Luo Feng said softly.

The monitoring system received Luo Feng's voice response, and soon another email was sent.

'As a free individual, you have the right to 'exchange treasures,' or directly convert them into wealth. Every 100,000 military merits equals 1 mixed yuan unit. Given that you are a member of the Virtual Universe Company, every 100,000 military merits can also be exchanged for 1 point. You can use military merits to exchange for treasures in the military system, or convert them into points to exchange for treasures in the Virtual Universe Treasury.'

'You have chosen to continue fighting.'

'One, you can operate alone.'

'Two, you can choose to lead an army. This army will consist of 100 Sector Lords, 1,000 Domain Lords, and 10,000 Universe-level individuals. Your mission is to lead this army to battle in the outer battlefield. When encountering alien powerhouses, you will deal with the alien Undying Gods, while your army engages the alien army.'

'If you choose the first option, military merits will accumulate normally.'

'If you choose the second option, willing to lead and protect an army, you will receive an additional 50% military merits. For example, if you kill an ordinary Undying God and gain 100 million military merits, when leading an army, killing the same Undying God will earn you 150 million military merits. Furthermore... when leading an army, you are not required to protect them; you only need to deal with the alien Undying Gods and prevent them from slaughtering your troops.'

'Please make your choice.'

Luo Feng smiled as he read.

Be a babysitter?

The benefits were considerable, an extra 50% military merits. While it seemed like a troublesome task, the additional military merits would be a draw for most Undying Gods. Unfortunately, he had many trump cards, especially his Golden Horned Beast clone, and how could he use them effectively while leading a large army?

'I choose the first option, to operate alone,' Luo Feng said softly.

'Recorded. Warrior Luo Feng, you can apply to lead an army at any time. Now sending the latest star map of the outer battlefield's 'Seventh Battlefield.' Please receive it.' The military control system sent the star map directly through the Virtual Universe, then disconnected.

...

'The star map.' Luo Feng sat on the sofa, sipping his tea, looking up at the projection formed in front of him.

The three-dimensional virtual projection formed a star map. The entire star map of the Seventh Battlefield was incredibly complex, densely packed with special areas. Locations like the 'Broken Star Belt' numbered in the tens of thousands, and there were billions of even lower-tier areas than the Broken Star Belt. In those areas, the number of powerhouses was very small, usually the domain of Sector Lords, Domain Lords, and Universe-level individuals.

'In the Broken Star Belt, there are many Sector Lord teams, and quite a few teams led by Undying Gods, but Marquis-level are few and far between,' Luo Feng shook his head. 'It offers no challenge to me, and there are too few Undying Gods... just finding them is troublesome, and the hunting efficiency is too low.'

The Broken Star Belt was not suitable for him.

'Then I'll go to...'

Luo Feng looked at the star map.

The star map was a miniaturized 'Seventh Starfield Battlefield,' with countless locations and accompanying text labels.

'Yan Ji Continent.' Luo Feng's eyes landed on this location. 'This is the only extremely high-tier combat zone within the range covered by Barracks Base 026.'

'Enlarge,' Luo Feng commanded.

'Enlarge Yan Ji Continent.'

One of the billions of points on the star map, 'Yan Ji Continent,' rapidly enlarged. An irregular continent appeared on the star map, with some continental fragments floating around its periphery. At the same time, the star map was accompanied by dense text, detailing the Yan Ji Continent.

'Yan Ji Continent: The highest-tier combat zone within the control range of Barracks Base 026 in the Seventh Battlefield. Any human or alien powerhouse daring to enter Yan Ji Continent, if part of an elite squad, will definitely have an Undying God in their team. If it's an army, it will also be led by an Undying God.'

'Every team has an Undying God, and the number of Marquis-level Undying Gods is extremely high.'

'Among Undying Gods, 'Undying Army Commanders' account for about two-thirds, 'Marquis-level' about one-third, and a very, very small number of 'King-level'.'

'Here, if one does not possess an undying body, the survival rate will be very low.'

'...'

'...'

A large amount of text described the dangers of Yan Ji Continent. The dense text finally stated: 'The main continent of Yan Ji Continent has a maximum diameter of 1.8 light-years, with thousands of continental fragments floating around it. The smaller fragments are millions of kilometers in diameter, while the larger ones exceed trillions of kilometers in diameter.'

...

Luo Feng sat on the sofa in the control room, sipping tea and looking at the three-dimensional projection of the star map.

'Yan Ji Continent is the highest-tier combat zone within the control range of Barracks Base 026,' Luo Feng said softly. 'However, in the entire Seventh Battlefield, it's only considered a second-tier combat zone. Above it, there's a first-tier, even more terrifying place within the range covered by Barracks Bases 022-036. But the weakest individuals who dare to enter that place are Marquis-level. King-level Undying Gods are almost exclusively found in such extremely dangerous places.'

'Hmm.'

'Even my Earthling original body, relying on combat armor, with 1000 times the power of a Sector Lord... is only at the level of an elementary Marquis-level undying body. Even if my comprehension of laws is slightly stronger than an elementary Marquis-level, I don't have an undying body,' Luo Feng shook his head. 'Even against an ordinary Marquis-level Undying God, my Earthling original body would struggle greatly...'

'That most dangerous place, the combat zone where a large number of King-level Undying Gods gather, will have to wait for the future.'

'My current strength is not enough.'

Luo Feng nodded slightly. 'Only when I can become a dominant force on Yan Ji Continent will I be qualified to go to that first-tier dangerous place.'

'Babata, let's go,' Luo Feng ordered.

'Yes.'

...

With Luo Feng's detection device able to spot enemies early, the spaceship could easily avoid them. Thus, the E9-grade spaceship flew all the way to the 'cosmic warp point' without encountering any sneak attacks. Afterward, Luo Feng transferred to the Yunmo Star vessel.

'Cosmic warp.'

'Proceed at 50 times the speed of light.'

'Luo Feng, it will take about two hours to reach the warp point near Yan Ji Continent. After reaching the warp point, it will take approximately six more days of flight to reach the Yan Ji Continent region. However, we have a very advanced detection device, so the probability of being ambushed is very low. But Luo Feng, you cannot be careless. You might unluckily encounter a King-level alien powerhouse. Such powerhouses might possess detection devices superior to yours, and if they discover your device is so advanced, they might quietly approach to ambush you!'

'Being ambushed by a King-level would be dangerous.'

'So, always be vigilant.'

'Understood,' Luo Feng nodded.

...

Six days later.

The black disc-shaped spaceship, which had been flying for a long time in the outer battlefield, finally reached its destination.

Whoosh!

The alloy door of the control room automatically parted, and Luo Feng strode in, instructing: '100% external virtual view.' Immediately, the external starry sky scene became clearly visible.

'Yan Ji Continent.' Luo Feng stood in the control room, gazing into the distance. 'Finally, I've arrived.'

In the distant starry sky, there was a vast, boundless continent. Beyond this continent, suspended in space, were several other large continental fragments.

'For thousands of years, or even longer, in the outer battlefield, I will probably be adventuring on this Yan Ji Continent,' Luo Feng thought, images of various people flashing through his mind: Taiwo, Poison, Hammer, Enchantress...

'They must still be in the Broken Star Belt. Taiwo, I hope you all can retire alive.'

'I hope I can also retire alive.'

Luo Feng smiled.

Swoosh!

The E9-grade spaceship rapidly flew towards the Yan Ji Continent. From now on, Taiwo's elite squad would be fighting alien powerhouses in the Broken Star Belt, while Luo Feng would be battling even stronger aliens on this Yan Ji Continent. And what would happen in the future, no one could say for sure.
