"This Sacred Mountain Battle has ended!"

Inside the Space-time Fortress, the communicators of every surviving Human Race soldier received notification that the war was over.

At this moment, Li Ze and the more than four hundred thousand surviving Universe level soldiers of the Human Race had all gathered beneath the western wall of the Space-time Fortress.

Before the six-month duration of the Sacred Mountain Battle expired, all soldiers had already received notice that the battle was about to end.

All surviving Human Race Universe level soldiers were ordered to assemble at the edge of the fortress where they had originally set out.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Figures rose into the air one after another and flew beyond the city wall.

The members of the Tongfeng Team also took to the sky. Moments later, they crossed the wall and arrived outside.

They saw that the Space Barrier which had enveloped the Space-time Fortress for the past six months slowly faded from blue to transparent before vanishing completely.

Outside the Space-time Fortress, the metal platform where the Human Race Immortals had gathered was gone.

King Huilei led numerous Immortals as they floated in midair in the distance, watching the Universe level soldiers fly out from the Space-time Fortress.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

About twenty minutes later, all the Universe level soldiers had arrived outside the Space-time Fortress and landed on the ground before King Huilei and the other Immortals.

"Soldiers who returned alive, I am proud of you. You have brought the victory of this Sacred Mountain Battle back to the Human Race." King Huilei's deep voice rang beside everyone's ears.

"Your Military Merit rewards have already been issued through the Virtual Universe Network!" King Huilei continued.

The instant the Sacred Mountain Battle ended, footage of the six months of fighting within the Space-time Fortress had already been transmitted to the Virtual Universe Network by the Intelligent Crystals.

With the Virtual Network's powerful processing capabilities, everyone's Military Merit had been calculated and distributed within moments.

"49.552 million Military Merit!" Li Ze glanced at the screen on his armguard and nodded to himself.

During this Sacred Mountain Battle, he had personally killed thirty-nine members of the Demon Race Royal Family and Royal Clan. Clearly, those royal family and royal clan members had all been counted as Universe Level Generals.

Later, during the final battle, he had also successfully killed two hundred Mechanical Race Universe Level Generals. The rest had merely been elite Universe level soldiers.

Furthermore, the Human Race had won the Sacred Mountain Battle, doubling everyone's Military Merit. Thus, he had ultimately received nearly fifty million Military Merit.

At the exchange rate of one Hun Yuan unit for every hundred thousand Military Merit,

this Sacred Mountain Battle had earned him close to five hundred Hun Yuan units from Military Merit alone.

There would also be team rewards, along with the Spoils of War acquired during this Sacred Mountain Battle. This wealth would be enough for several of his upcoming plans.

As he calculated his gains, Li Ze silently reflected.

"Alright, you can review your Military Merit slowly. Through your efforts in this Sacred Mountain Battle, our Human Race has achieved final victory and obtained one thousand Sacred Mountain Baptism Quotas." Seeing everyone checking their Military Merit, King Huilei interrupted.

"These quotas will also be distributed according to your Individual Points Ranking, to the top one thousand soldiers. Once the Sacred Mountain opens and the Sacred Mountain Divine Liquid is born, the Virtual Universe Network will notify the soldiers who have received quotas." King Huilei smiled faintly.

"Next, the soldiers of each legion will be taken back by your respective Legion Commanders. The remaining rewards will be issued later!"

Clearly, King Huilei had not intended to mention the team rewards, special Treasure Vault quota rewards, or apprenticeship rewards in front of everyone.

"Soldiers of the 5th Legion, gather here!"

After King Huilei finished speaking, Xizes's voice rang directly in the minds of the 5th Legion soldiers.

Upon hearing the voice in their minds, Li Ze and the other 5th Legion soldiers immediately moved toward Xizes.

The soldiers of the other legions also headed toward their respective Legion Commanders.

The 5th Legion soldiers lined up before Xizes.

Li Ze swept his gaze around. Of the ten thousand soldiers who had come, fewer than five thousand remained. It seemed the Fourth Outer Domain Battlefield's average death rate of 92.1 percent was no exaggeration.

One had to know that all those participating in this Sacred Mountain Battle had been Universe level soldiers.

The intensity of the fighting had been far lower than in other large-scale legion wars, yet the death rate had still exceeded fifty percent. And those who had died this time were all elite Universe level soldiers or above from their respective legions.

Xizes, floating in midair, looked at the fewer than five thousand Universe level soldiers below him, a trace of regret flashing through his eyes.

Then, after glancing at Li Ze amid the crowd, he waved his hand and put all the Universe level soldiers away.

Whoosh!

Space shifted, and the scenery outside appeared before them once more.

Li Ze and the members of the First Brigade had already appeared in the plaza of the 5th Legion's First Brigade garrison.

At this moment, the First Brigade's commander, Lu Feng, a Three-eyed middle-aged World Lord level powerhouse, was already waiting in the plaza.

Looking at the force of nearly six hundred people that remained below, Lu Feng said nothing.

"Our 5th Legion performed well in this Sacred Mountain Battle. I am quite satisfied!" Xizes's voice echoed above the plaza.

"The Tongfeng Team has taken first place in team points for the Sacred Mountain Battle! Li Ze has also taken first place in individual points!" After saying this, Xizes looked at the Tongfeng Team with a smile.

The other participating Universe level teams all looked at the Tongfeng Team with envy.

"Once the Sacred Mountain opens, I will lead those among you who have received quotas there for baptism. I hope that powerhouses will emerge from among you in the future!" Xizes did not say much more and directly ended his speech.

He then nodded to Lu Feng and vanished from the air.

"Each team, return and rest. Wait for notification in three days. Team captains, come to me to discuss recruiting new soldiers. Dismissed!" Lu Feng did not waste words and directly announced the dismissal.

In truth, Lu Feng was fairly satisfied with the results of this Sacred Mountain Battle. Not only had the Tongfeng Team won glory, but nearly six hundred members of the First Brigade had returned. He had originally thought the death rate in this war might exceed eighty percent, but it had ended up being only a little over forty percent.

Afterward, Lu Feng gave everyone a military salute, turned, and flew away from the garrison plaza.

Buzz!

Seeing Brigade Commander Lu Feng leave, everyone flew toward their respective team estates.

The members of the Tongfeng Team first went together to Lairui'er's estate.

"Everyone, the reward for our team's first-place points ranking has already been deposited into my account!" The moment everyone sat down, Lairui'er immediately began speaking.

"Shantuo, Luan, and Lan Teng died. According to the Outer Domain Battlefield military regulations, this reward will be divided among the six of us. Does anyone have any objections?" After saying that, Lairui'er looked at everyone.

Everyone knew of this rule. Unlike other adventurers, the Outer Domain Battlefield military suffered large numbers of soldier deaths every year. To prevent disputes among comrades over Spoils of War after a teammate's death,

all collective Spoils of War and rewards were stipulated to be distributed entirely among the surviving soldiers. After all, the Life Planets allotted upon enlistment served, to a certain extent, as compensation for the bereaved.

"Alright, first place this time comes with a total reward of ninety thousand Hun Yuan units. The six of us can each receive fifteen thousand Hun Yuan units." Seeing everyone nod, Lairui'er smiled and told them.

The first-place reward had been issued based on the number of team members who participated at the beginning of the war, which was why it amounted to ninety thousand Hun Yuan units.

After saying that, he had his Intelligent Optical Computer transfer the funds to everyone.

Ding!

"Master, your Cosmic River Bank account has received wealth amounting to fifteen thousand Hun Yuan units!" Walli, Li Ze's Intelligent Optical Computer, spoke in his mind.

Li Ze saw long-absent smiles appear on everyone's faces.

This wealth far exceeded the net worth of Universe level beings. Even many Sector Lords did not possess this much wealth; it could even compare to that of some poorer Immortals.

With this wealth, all of them could take a great step forward on the path toward becoming powerhouses.

"Next are the Spoils of War we acquired during this Sacred Mountain Battle. The items among them that were useful to you were already distributed to you in the Space-time Fortress." After everyone received their transfers, Lairui'er continued.

"As for the remaining items that are of no use to us, I will send them to the military reclamation office. Once they are sold, I will transfer the proceeds directly!" Lairui'er continued.

"Wait!" Before Lairui'er could finish, Li Ze interrupted him.

As Li Ze spoke, everyone looked over.

"These are some Spoils of War I collected. I have already put away the items useful to me. Take a look through the rest and divide up anything you need. Send the rest to the reclamation office as well!" Li Ze directly tossed a Spatial Ring to Lairui'er.

"Li Ze, these Spoils of War were not obtained collectively by our team. They are your personal Spoils of War and should belong to you."

Lairui'er took the Spatial Ring and inspected it, immediately recognizing the source of those items. They were all gains Li Ze had obtained from independently killing Mechanical Race soldiers during the final battle.

These Spoils of War had not been obtained collectively by the team. They were Li Ze's own Spoils of War and did not need to be distributed to anyone else.

"Li Ze, put them away. Without you, our Tongfeng Team would not have gained so much in this Sacred Mountain Battle!"

"That's right, they're your personal Spoils of War. We can't divide them up!"

"We can't accept them. You've already helped us enough!"

After hearing Lairui'er's words, Jirui Yu and the others understood what was inside the ring and spoke up one after another.

"This time, listen to me. Divide these Spoils of War together. Don't forget that I still have plenty of Military Merit rewards. Compared to what I gained this time, the items in the ring are insignificant!"

"Of course, I won't count the Demon Race corpses and Life Origin Liquid that were distributed to me in advance in the Space-time Fortress. Consider those my extra share!" Li Ze smiled, his gaze firm as he looked at everyone.

"Since Li Ze has said so, then let's not refuse any longer!" After a long while, seeing the determination in Li Ze's eyes, Lairui'er spoke to the others.

The others also smiled and nodded. Compared to the enormous wealth from the team reward, they did not particularly care about these Spoils of War.

Ding!

"Master, you have received an email from King Yuchi! Would you like to view it?"

"View it!" Seeing the email from King Yuchi, Li Ze's heart stirred.

"Li Ze, I am King Yuchi. I am sending you this email because I wish to take you as my disciple. If you are interested, come see me in the Virtual Universe!" It was a very simple message, with King Yuchi's Virtual Universe contact information below it.

"Captain, a King-level Immortal wants to take me as a disciple. I need to enter the Virtual Universe right away!" After reading King Yuchi's email, Li Ze did not dare delay and immediately spoke to Lairui'er.

"Uh! Really? Then hurry! We can discuss everything else after you finish becoming his disciple!" Upon hearing Li Ze's words, Lairui'er's mind blanked for a moment.

Although he knew that the members of the Tongfeng Team would all be accepted as disciples by King-level Immortals, he had never expected someone to contact Li Ze so quickly.

So he hurriedly urged Li Ze on.

The others, stunned by Li Ze's words, nodded repeatedly as well.

Seeing everyone nod, Li Ze did not wait any longer.

"Walli, connect to the Virtual Universe!"

"Received. Connecting to the Virtual Universe."
