World Lord General

Without waiting for others to speak, the Immortal continued his introduction, "Every one of you World Lords has surely undergone countless training sessions within the Virtual Universe network. The Virtual Universe network assigns a rating to your strength based on your performance, and this rating is crucial for determining your status within the military."

"The rating is divided into three levels: first, 'Ordinary World Lord Warrior'; second, 'Elite World Lord Warrior'; and third, 'World Lord General'."

"The majority of World Lords are Ordinary World Lord Warriors."

"Those who have gained the recognition of origin laws can barely be considered Elite World Lord Warriors."

"Generally, one World Lord General can emerge from every hundred Elite World Lord Warriors!" the Immortal spirit said, "I believe each of you has displayed your peak strength in the Virtual Universe. If any of you have not shown your true strength there and are worried that the authorization ceremony might be unfair, you may enter the Virtual Universe network now to demonstrate your full power. We will begin the authorization shortly."

"I assume there are no issues, so come forward one by one to receive your authorization."

The 100 World Lords walked toward the Immortal spirit one by one, and a blue light shot out from the screen on the Immortal's vambrace, enveloping the approaching World Lord.

"Elite World Lord Warrior!"

"Ordinary World Lord Warrior!"

"Elite World Lord Warrior!"

"Elite World Lord Warrior!"

The Immortal's vambrace screen emitted these sounds automatically, and at the same time, every World Lord receiving authorization also received a message from the Virtual Universe system. The higher the authorization... the higher one's status in the military naturally becomes.

Generally, World Lords who dare to come to the Outer-Region Battlefield, especially lone World Lords, are mostly Elite World Lord Warriors. The number of Ordinary World Lords is much smaller, usually only half that of the Elite World Lord Warriors.

Those Ordinary World Lords usually enter the Outer-Region Battlefield as part of a cosmic nation's army, or they join legions led by certain Immortal spirits. They rarely act as lone wolves; at the very least, they operate in teams composed of large groups of World Lords.

Similarly, among lone World Lords, the number of World Lord Generals is even rarer than that of Ordinary World Lord Warriors, as one group is weaker in strength while the other is stronger.

In the universe, the number of powerful individuals is always much smaller.

By the time it reached Qin Cang, among these 99 World Lords, there were a total of 65 "Elite World Lord Warriors" and 33 "Ordinary World Lord Warriors."

The number of World Lord Generals was only one.

That sole World Lord General was a golden Ape-man, though it was unclear which branch of the Ape-men he belonged to. After all, the Ape-man race is one of the most diverse branches of the Human Race, and in terms of sheer numbers, the Ape-man branches are the most populous within the Human Race.

As the last World Lord to arrive, Qin Cang was also the last to undergo the knighting ceremony.

The Immortal spirit walked over to Qin Cang, and as a blue light swept over him:

"World Lord General!"

The eyes of the other 99 World Lords fell upon Qin Cang. After all, the number of World Lord Generals was truly rare; they hadn't expected to encounter two this time. This ratio was already considered quite high.

The Ape-man's gaze also landed on Qin Cang, his eyes filled with a hint of curiosity. Clearly, he hadn't expected to meet a second World Lord General here.

However, Qin Cang had no interest in this group. They would never be people of the same world. His appearance as a World Lord at this stage was merely to understand the combat style of the Outer-Region Battlefield for the time being. Before long, he would become a true lone wolf, disguising himself as an Immortal to hunt down those powerful alien individuals.

"The authorization ceremony is now concluded." The Immortal spirit's voice suddenly grew louder, echoing in the ears of the ten thousand cosmic warriors, "Follow me. We will collectively teleport you to the Outer-Region Battlefield shortly. This is a war between races, and a vast number of warriors are participating. Currently, nine major battlefields have been opened. These battlefields are all outside our Human Race's territory, which is why they are called the Outer-Region Battlefield. You are heading to the Third Battlefield."

"The Third Battlefield?" Qin Cang thought to himself, though it didn't matter. There was no difference between the battlefields; he was here to train, so there was no need to specifically go to the Seventh Battlefield. Once his strength was sufficient in the future, he could go to the Star Tower to take a look.

But as of now, there are only nine Outer-Region Battlefields? It seems there are two more that have yet to be opened. It is just a pity for whichever unlucky race occupies a secret region that catches the eye of the four peak races and gets wiped out.

"All outside the Human Race's territory?"

Suddenly, various murmurs of discussion arose.

Pato's voice also came through: "The Third Outer-Region Battlefield has an average mortality rate of 95.2%. It ranks sixth among the nine battlefields in the Outer-Region Battlefield. It's a good place to go."

"Move out!" the Immortal spirit commanded.

Immediately, the massive force of ten thousand warriors followed. The World Lords naturally walked at the very front. A moment later, they arrived in a colossal hall. This grand hall was over a thousand miles in diameter, and within this vast space, there were nine massive, water-curtain-like spatial passages.

"This is the spatial passage leading to the Third Battlefield." The Immortal spirit walked up to one of the water curtains, "The Third Battlefield is a Universe Secret Region with a maximum diameter of about 980,000 light-years. Of course, after hundreds of millions of years of slaughter, the inherent dangers of this Universe Secret Region have been weakened to the extreme; the primary threat comes from alien enemies. There are one hundred military bases in the Third Battlefield. You are currently being teleported to Base 001."

This water curtain was a full kilometer wide and a kilometer high.

Whoosh!

The World Lords entered one by one, and Qin Cang stepped in as well. The ten thousand soldiers soon all entered.

Using the God Kingdom as a transit station, the ten thousand soldiers arrived at that God Kingdom hub, entered another spatial passage, and were then directly teleported to Base 001 in the Third Battlefield, located outside the Human Race's territory.

Upon reaching the military base, following the guide's route, Qin Cang and the 100 World Lords arrived in a massive lounge. There were numerous squads here, many of which were led by Immortal spirits, serving as a decent transition.

"Everyone, among this batch of World Lords, there are two World Lord Generals. Who can recruit them depends on your own abilities, haha..." the guide said, before announcing the World Lord General-level strength of Qin Cang and the Ape-man, then departing.

The strength of a World Lord General naturally sparked a bidding war among the squads. After all, this meant having the combat power to temporarily hold off an Immortal spirit at a critical moment; sometimes, that brief moment was all it took to turn the tide of a battle.

"World Lord General, please, you must join our squad! Our squad is led by..."

"Don't listen to him! Our captain possesses an Immortal-level plant lifeform for protection. I don't need to tell you how rare that is. Join our squad, and I guarantee..."

"Join our squad, and we will give you a share of our military contributions..."

For the sake of the two World Lord Generals, every squad did their utmost, using every trick in the book. If it weren't for the fact that fighting was prohibited in the military base, they might have already been at each other's throats.

In the end, the Ape-man World Lord General joined the squad that claimed to have an Immortal-level plant lifeform.

Qin Cang ultimately chose the squad led by the first Immortal spirit who had personally come to invite him.
