Returning to the Nest

From the Yuanming Continent, we flew to the shuttle point, then Cosmic Shuttle through the Dark Universe, before returning to the Original Universe to reach the 044 Base Barracks Base.

It took more than a month

"Barracks Base"

The saucer-shaped spaceship looked like a grain of sand, while the Barracks Base looked like a giant planet.

Lu Yan'an was gazing at the Barracks Base in the distance. Its diameter stretched for millions of kilometers; it was a ferocious war machine much larger than the sun!

The "AAA Deity Base," a technological marvel, boasts a magnificent, colorful energy shield with a circulating energy system. The menacing, seemingly ancient and outdated cannon muzzles, along with the intricate and eerie Law Secret Pattern etched upon them, send chills Lu Yan'an's spine.

This is a war machine that exists like a work of art!

"Drop!"

"Soldier Lu Yan'an, from this moment on, your spaceship is to be under the control of the Barracks Base. Resistance is strictly prohibited. If you resist, you will be attacked by the base, and you will bear the consequences."

Control of the spaceship was forcibly taken away as it approached the Deity base.

Call!

The spaceship was guided through one of the entrances to the Barracks Base, then flew along a circular corridor for a long time before entering a large hall.

Lu Yan'an has returned home.

"Welcome, soldier." A human attendant in a silver uniform greeted Lu Yan'an with a smile as he stepped out of the hatch. "Do you choose to retire, or rest at the base?"

"Rest." Lu Yan'an waved his hand, storing the spaceship into his World Ring. His goal was to hunt down peak-level King Level experts; how could he possibly retire now?

"Then please follow me," the waiter said with a smile.

Lu Yan'an nodded slightly, and then, led by the attendant, walked into the Barracks Base in front of him.

The waiter said, "As a free soldier, you don't need to follow the Military System's assignments. You can choose when to fight and when to rest as you please. You can choose to lead troops or not, but... it's rare to see someone venturing into the Outer Region Battlefield alone."

"I don't like crowds." Lu Yan'an glanced at the waiter, sensing a hidden meaning in his words, but still didn't respond.

The waiter smiled slightly and said nothing more. The two of them transformed into two streaks of Flowing Light and flew away, quickly arriving at an area tens of thousands of kilometers away.

"The entertainment area is at the end of the left passage, with restaurants, parties, and other recreational facilities. Directly ahead are the living quarters for these free soldiers; they receive much better treatment than regular soldiers," the waiter said with a smile. "You'll be assigned a room soon; you should receive a number, just check in according to the number. As for entertainment... you can go to the left. If you want to go out to fight, just follow the path you came in from."

Lu Yan'an nodded.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer." The waiter was very polite and then left.

Lu Yan'an, however, was gazing into the distance.

"That's really good," Lu Yan'an praised.

For tens of thousands of kilometers ahead, there are mountains, rivers, forests, as well as snow and deserts. This is the first-class residence in the Barracks Base, which is like living on a planet for vacation. For Barracks Base with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, it is easy to open up this space.

Lu Yan'an's residence is on an island in the middle of a lake.

"Soldier Lu Yan'an, this island is your private island. During your stay, no one else is allowed to enter the island."

The beautiful island became Lu Yan'an's private domain.

Lu Yan'an walked on the soft sand, quite satisfied.

"Hey!" a shout came from afar.

Lu Yan'an turned his head and saw several human Immortal Expert on a distant island. They were all wearing loose robes and lying on huge beach chairs. Although they were far apart, they could see the sand around each other with their naked eyes. One of the Immortal God with palm-colored hair smiled and said, "My name is Aiden. Welcome, my new neighbor."

"I'm blown away," Lu Yan'an replied with a smile.

"Jue, are you at the Peak Marquis?" Aiden looked at Lu Yan'an carefully from a distance and asked with a hint of doubt.

"Yes!" Lu Yan'an asked, puzzled. "But is there a problem?"

"Haha... This Free Territory is for free soldiers to live in, but the residences are all different. Some are ordinary residences on the mainland, while others are slightly better, such as comfortable villas with large areas. As for the most exclusive residences, such as those that can occupy an entire island or a mountain peak, these are generally only qualified to live in by those with extremely high military merits, usually at the King Level... However, I feel that your aura of power is like that of Peak Marquis, which is why I asked this question."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an suddenly realized what was going on.

Yes.

The military merits he accumulated mainly came from those few low-ranking Feng Wang. He had the strength to kill low-ranking Feng Wang, so his military merits naturally accumulated quickly.

"The Peak Marquis is barely equivalent to being Feng Wang," Lu Yan'an said, "But there's no official title yet."

"Haha... It seems you've risen to the Feng Wang after life-and-death trials on the Outer Region Battlefield Aiden. My title is 'King Shenmu,'" laughed the green-haired man on the distant island. "These gentlemen are 'Golden Sword King,' 'Soft Water King,' 'Blazing Fire King,' and 'Thick Earth King.' We're from the same team, the 'Five Elements Squad'!" Aiden introduced, pointing to the immortals around him who were enjoying the sun.

"Greetings, everyone!" Lu Yan'an greeted them with a smile. The others did not refuse to give face to King Shenmu Aiden of Shenmu, and they all returned Lu Yan'an's greeting.

"It's nice to meet you. I have something to do, but once I'm done, let's go to a restaurant for a drink together," Lu Yan'an said with a smile.

"Alright," King Shenmu Aiden of Shenmu said with a smile.

That's how the strong are; when they want to make friends, they usually do so with those of equal strength. And within Barracks Base, there's a natural system of special treatment for the strong.

Lu Yan'an then entered his residence.

This is a charming villa. Its private island covers approximately 0.9 square kilometers and features several one- or two-story old wooden buildings. Surrounding these buildings are ancient carvings and various shaped, azure pools. The villa is located in the center of the island and is even decorated with a variety of exotic flowers.

"It's a great place for a vacation, but this is also a welcome respite from the Outer Region Battlefield!"

Lu Yan'an quickly changed into his underwear and then jumped into the villa's heated swimming pool. Lying in the pool, Lu Yan'an felt very comfortable, and his heart also calmed down with this comfort.

"Aiden."

"Absolutely."

Lu Yan'an, dressed in a white robe, was drinking with a man with palm-colored hair wearing cyan armor.

"Jue, how was your haul?" Aiden asked.

"So-so. You know, once the opponent's strength reaches the Feng Hou level, they're hard to kill. Their Undying Body is a real nuisance!" Lu Yan'an, holding his wine cup. "In the past few hundred years, I've only killed a few dozen Feng Hou, but almost all of them were low -Early Marquis. A very few High-level Marquis were just lucky. Sigh, accumulating military merit is just too slow." Lu Yan'an deliberately concealed the fact that he could kill Feng Wang, since someone barely at the Feng Wang level would normally be unable to defeat or even defeat someone of the same level.

"It's very difficult to kill someone with Undying Body." Aiden also put down his wine glass angrily and shook his head. "I am also Feng Wang expert. Those Peak Marquis are clearly weaker than me, but I just can't do anything to them. You can kill dozens of Feng Hou in hundreds of years, which is quite good. Your efficiency is even slightly higher than mine. By the way, which battle zone are you in?"

"Yuanming Continent," Lu Yan'an said.

"You're also on the Yuanming Continent?" Aiden's eyes widened. "You're only barely at the Feng Wang level, and you dare to come to the Yuanming Continent? This is the most dangerous place in the Fourth Battlefield!"

"The most dangerous place in the Fourth Battlefield?" Lu Yan'an laughed; this was the first time he had heard such a statement.

"Since you're also on the Yuanming Continent, that makes things easier," Aiden advised. "When can we go together and cooperate?"

"If you can cooperate with our team, I believe it won't be a problem for you to double your military merits!"
