Yan Ji Continent

While being granted the title of Marquis would certainly grant him greater authority and status, it did not align with Lin Yan's desired outcome.

The military has its own rules.

Every participant in extraterritorial wars is required to have military merits, and Lin Yan is no exception. Before accumulating enough military merits, he must join the organization and obey orders.

"I am still very inexperienced. I have not yet truly experienced the baptism of Clan War. I need to accumulate more battlefield experience."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "If I join the army now and quickly get familiar with the Outer Domain Battlefield, once I have enough military merits and understand how to survive on the Outer Domain Battlefield, I will no longer need to stay with the army and can choose to fight alone."

The Military Merit quota accumulated is directly proportional to the military's authority.

For example, a World Lord General needs to kill at least ten enemy Realm World Lord General to reach the Military Merit quota, and may even need to kill up to one hundred!

Becoming Immortal Army Lord isn't too difficult, but if you're judged as Marquis, the difference in difficulty in accumulating enough military merit is enormous.

The Immortal Army Lord Peak and the Initial Feng Hou is small in terms of combat power alone, but the difference in their level of terror is thousands or tens of thousands of times. The difference lies in the Undying Body.

Just like the mission that the Virtual Universe Company assigned to Lin Yan, in order to kill an Initial Feng Hou Immortal God named "Yao Hai", they directly dispatched a small team led by King level Immortal from the Golden Horn Clan, which shows how powerful they were.

Lin Yan is capable of doing this, but within the military, there is little freedom of movement, so there's no need to create trouble for himself.

After granting Lin Yan the authority, Yu Qi asked him to wait in the hall while he went to the square to perform the authority granting ceremony for the Lone Walker warriors.

Before long, thousands of warriors followed Yu Qi and arrived at the same huge hall.

This great hall is thousands of kilometers in diameter and contains 11 enormous, water-curtain-like passageways.

These water curtains are a kilometer wide and a kilometer high.

This is a fixed Space Passage that uses the "Divine Kingdom" as a transit station to connect the eight major logistics bases and eleven star field battlefields within the Human territory. The Immortal God who possess the "Divine Kingdom" have essentially offered up their own divine kingdoms.

Of course... in this situation, their divine kingdom is also extremely safe.

"Before me lies the Space Passage to the Seventh Battlefield." The white-robed Immortal God walked to one of the water curtains, his voice suddenly rising and echoing in the ears of thousands of cosmic warriors, "You are about to be teleported to Barracks Base 026, where your war career will begin. I hope... you can survive on the glorious yet brutal Outer Domain Battlefield!"

"Yes!" thousands of space warriors roared in response.

Yu Qi glanced at Lin Yan, nodded slightly in greeting, then turned and surveyed the group, ordering, "Let's go!"

Wow!

Lin Yan immediately stepped forward, becoming the first to enter the spatial water curtain. Subsequently, the dozens of World Master also entered one by one, and soon all the thousands of soldiers entered.

Using the Divine Kingdom as a transit station, Lin Yan and his thousands of warriors arrived at the Divine Kingdom transit station, then entered the Space Passage again, and were directly teleported to the Barracks Base 026 in the Seventh Starfield Battlefield outside the Human territory.

Lin Yan stepped out of that divine transit station and immediately felt a shift in time and space, arriving at another place.

"Haha, we have new recruits."

"Hmm? Aren't there no plans to assign new recruits to the 026th Barracks anytime soon?"

"I checked the military system records, and there are new recruits of the Immortal God who have made their own choices. Quick, everyone, wake up and get to work."

"Holy crap, a new recruit of the Immortal God?"

Shouts rang out one after another.

Lin Yan immediately spotted a dozen soldiers in white armor, led by a man in a silver robe who looked like Immortal God forged from metal.

The Immortal God smiled at Lin Yan, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, then swept his gaze over and boomed, "New recruits, welcome to the '026' Barracks Base of the Seventh Battlefield. All World Master will follow him, all Domain Lords will follow this little girl, and all Cosmic level beings will follow this little guy."

The Immortal God swiftly appointed three leaders.

The Cosmic level, domain lord, and World Master are traveling along three different paths.

Lin Yan remained where he was, and the Immortal God immediately walked over, exclaiming in amazement, "Good heavens, he was granted 'High-level Immortal Army Lord' privileges just by applying to come to the Outer Domain Battlefield. The last time we encountered him at our Barracks Base 026 was more than 300,000 epochs ago. He is already Marquis now."

Immortal God are rare to begin with. If it were an ordinary Immortal God, it would be fine, but High-level Immortal Army Lord are indeed very rare.

There are a total of 1,100 Barracks Base in the Outer Domain Battlefield. It is not an exaggeration to say that the last example appeared more than 300,000 epochs ago. In fact, this is thanks to the humans in those Cosmic Secret Realm. Otherwise, there might not be such an example.

"You flatter me," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Haha, I never flatter," the silver-robed Immortal God laughed heartily.

Those who have reached this point are all worldly-wise and naturally understand that the other party's talent is extraordinary; otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve this. Their words subtly convey a sense of closeness.

"Let's get down to business," the silver-robed Immortal God said solemnly. "As Immortal God, you can choose two combat styles after joining the army."

"The first option is to join one of our Elite Squad in the 026th Barracks. These Elite Squad vary in strength and the range of their operations. The specific arrangements will be determined through a two-way selection process."

"The second option is to lead an army consisting of 100 World Master, 1,000 Domain Lords, and 10,000 Cosmic level. Your task is to lead this army to fight on the Outer Domain Battlefield. When you encounter Alien Race powerhouses, you will deal with the Immortals among the Alien Race powerhouses, and your army will fight against the Alien Race army."

"If you choose the first option, your military merits will be accumulated normally. For example, if you kill an ordinary Immortal Army Lord alone, you will gain 100 million military merits. If you team up with others, the military merits will be split, and you will only get a portion of them."

"Choose the second option, which allows you to lead and protect the army. You will receive an additional 50% bonus when accumulating military merits. For example, when you lead an army, you can earn 150 million military merits for killing ordinary Immortal God. Furthermore, when leading an army, you do not need to protect them. You only need to deal with the Immortal God of Alien Race and prevent them from slaughtering them."

He asked, "How will you choose?"

Lin Yan smiled.

"I choose the first option," he said softly.

He didn't come to the Outer Domain Battlefield to earn military merits, but to grow rapidly through the trials of Clan War. The extra 50% military merits might be extremely valuable in the eyes of other Immortal God, but in Lin Yan's view, it was nothing.

"Alright then." The silver-robed Immortal God was not surprised by Lin Yan's decision.

The latter is closer to being a "nanny," and many Immortal God felt that this was a rather troublesome task.

"Your choice has been recorded in the military control system. The military system will send you the latest Starry Sky Map of the Outer Domain Battlefield 'Seventh Battlefield' through the Virtual Universe shortly. Please pay attention to receiving it."

Instantly!

"Master, the 'Starry Sky Map' has been received." Wind Queen's voice rang in Lin Yan's mind.

"Proceed with the projection," Lin Yan instructed.

Soon, the three-dimensional virtual projection formed Starry Sky Map. The Starry Sky Map of the entire Seventh Battlefield was very complex, with numerous special zones and locations, and text markings around them.

The silver-robed Immortal God smiled and said, "The entire Seventh Starfield Battlefield has many special battle zones. A large number of powerful figures from the Four Great Peak Races are lurking in these battle zones. These powerful figures are hiding and fighting each other, creating a bloody and frenzied scene."

"The entire star field is a battlefield. Look at these billions of low-level areas. There are very few strong people. It is generally the area where World Master, domain lords, and Domain Lord level operate."

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

The Immortal God in silver robes then pointed to one of the points.

One of the billions of points in the Starry Sky Map was rapidly magnified, and an area appeared on the image that looked as if a large number of dense meteorites were floating on it.

"You're a new recruit, so I suggest you consider the 'Shattered Star Belt Shattered Star Belt.' It's a notoriously dangerous area with many World Master teams and teams led by Immortal God, but only a handful of Marquis level warriors. With your strength, you're perfectly capable of handling the risks here."

He quickly offered his suggestions.

Lin Yan shook his head.

There are too few Immortal God here... Just finding them is troublesome, and hunting them is too inefficient, so it's not suitable for me at all.

"Any other ideas?" the silver-robed Immortal God asked. "There are tens of thousands of such locations in the Seventh Battlefield, including the Shattered Star Belt, and our Human Faction has elite teams there."

Lin Yan looked at the Starry Sky Map.

He spotted one of the locations at a glance and immediately ordered it to be zoomed in.

An irregular continent appeared on the Starry Sky Map, with fragments of the continent scattered around it. The Starry Sky Map was also covered with dense text that provided a detailed description.

"Yan Ji Continent: The highest-level combat zone within the control range of the Barracks Base 026 of the Seventh Battlefield. Any human or countless Alien Race powerhouse who dares to enter Yan Ji Continent, if it is Elite Squad, then the squad must have an 'Immortal God' in it; if it is an army, then it must also be led by Immortal God."

"Each team has Immortal God, and the number of Marquis-level Immortal God is extremely large."

"Among the Immortal God, 'Immortal Army Lord' account for about two-thirds, 'Marquis level' accounts for about one-third, and there are also a very small number of 'Feng Wang level'."

"Here, without Undying Body, the chances of survival are very low."

"..."

"..."

The text contained extensive information about the dangers of the Yan Ji Continent. Finally, it stated. "The Main Continent Yan Ji Continent has a maximum diameter of 1.8 light-years. There are also thousands of continental fragments floating around the continent. The smaller fragments are millions of kilometers in diameter, while the larger ones are over a trillion kilometers in diameter."

The silver-robed Immortal God was immediately shocked. "You want to go to the Yan Ji Continent?!"

He quickly dissuaded him, saying, "The Yan Ji Continent is a second-tier combat zone in the entire Seventh Battlefield, extremely dangerous. You are still a new recruit. If you enter the Yan Ji Continent, your chances of survival are extremely low. You can accumulate experience in those less dangerous combat zones first."

He was genuinely surprised that this new recruit would head straight for the most dangerous area within the Barracks Base 026's coverage region, the Yan Ji Continent.

He had spent countless years navigating Outer Domain Battlefield, yet he had never been to such a dangerous area.

Lin Yan didn't seem to care.

The reason he came to the Barracks Base 026 of the Seventh Battlefield was to go to the Yan Ji Continent. Even with his own strength, this battle area was not that dangerous.

Lin Yan said, "I came to the Outer Domain Battlefield to hone myself and master Undying Body as soon as possible. I don't want to waste time in those low-level combat areas."

The Immortal God in silver robes was secretly alarmed.

To attain... Undying Body as soon as possible?

Immortal Army Lord Peak?

This newcomer is actually that strong?

He thought about it for a moment. This matter was a matter of life and death, so the other party wouldn't lie. Besides, it wasn't his place to worry about this, so he decided not to investigate further.

The silver-robed Immortal God said, "The Yan Ji Continent is teeming with powerful figures and countless Alien Race. Naturally, our human race also has a considerable number of Elite Squad. For example, the 'Ice Thorn Squad,' which is quite famous on the Yan Ji Continent, has a captain named 'Ice Thorn King,' who even has the ability to teleport. The vice-captain is also an Initial Feng Wang expert, and almost all of his team members are at the Peak Feng Hou!"

"However, these teams led by Feng Wang expert have high requirements for their members and do not accept newcomers. Of course, with your strength, it would be very easy for you to join the teams of some Feng Wang Immortal God."

He laughed and said, "Your information will appear on the military system. If any powerful teams from the Yan Ji Continent are interested, they will send you an email through the military control system. You can then make your choice."

"Thank you for your guidance." Lin Yan nodded.

"Haha," the silver-robed Immortal God laughed loudly, "I believe someone will contact you soon."

On the Yan Ji Continent, an E-class spaceship is traveling through the void.

Inside the lounge.

Nine Immortal God, each with a different appearance and from different human races, were chatting and laughing together.

Suddenly--

A man in white robes looked up and exclaimed, "Captain, a new member has appeared in the military system. His authority level is 'High-level Immortal Army Lord'. He wants to join the Divine Spirit Squad active on the Yan Ji Continent."

Immediately, everyone else swarmed over.

A short, childlike Immortal God standing nearby said, "You'd better hurry up and recruit them, or another team will snatch them up!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!" the others urged.

The white-robed man laughed and said, "You don't need to tell me. I sent an email immediately. Speaking of which, there are even new recruits at the High-level Immortal Army Lord. That's really rare."

"Um!"

"Being World Lord General during his recruit days is already quite impressive, but Immortal God are extremely rare, let alone High-level Immortal Army Lord. We must recruit him into our team!"

"After all, the Divine Kingdom Humans could never become immortal; the difference in numbers is too great."

"Sigh, to become High-level Immortal Army Lord during one's recruit days, one's talent and background must be extraordinary. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win him over."

"Other Divine Spirit Squad that aren't full have probably already started extending offers."

"There's no way around it, the competition is fierce."

For a moment, a group of people in the lounge started discussing it.

Meanwhile, this scene is happening in many places.

"Haha, our team is short-handed, and we even have Immortal God recruit. With a little training, he'll be able to stand on his own!"

"Wow, he's already at the High-level Immortal Army Lord without even being in the Outer Domain Battlefield. Could he be a disciple of some Feng Wang Immortal God?"

"Quickly recruit him into our team. Next time we encounter a powerful Alien Race, the pressure of the battle will be less."

It's okay for newcomers to lack experience; in this case, they are also very adaptable.

Many powerful World Master lords accumulate enormous military merits to exchange for treasures and strengthen themselves, making them fully capable of rivaling ordinary Immortal God. Naturally, the potential of these new Immortal God recruits is even greater.

Soon.

Lin Yan looked at the hundreds of emails sent through the military control system. He read them carefully and, without much hesitation, made a decision to accept the invitation from one of the squads.
