The enormous roulette in the sky soon came to a stop.
Streams of light flickered, and before long, everyone had a number in their hands.
"Those with the same number, form a team!"
"..."
Soon, many people began moving. Since this was an escort mission, the importance of teammates went without saying. No one was confident they could survive alone in the endlessly dangerous Star Battlefield, so building good relationships with their teammates was crucial.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng, Little Black, and White Demon did not move.
Watching the bustling crowd, Lin Cheng rubbed Little Black's head and said with a smile, "What kind of test is this? This is clearly press-ganging people into service. They say that completing the mission means joining the Demon Extermination Association, but in truth, almost everyone who truly fails the mission will die in the Star Battlefield. The number who make it out alive will probably be pitifully small."
White Demon nodded. "There's no helping it. The human race is weaker overall than the other races. It's already not bad if they can hold off the enemy—they have no way to cover everything."
"Meow..."
Lin Cheng swept his gaze around, then looked at White Demon and transmitted his voice, "Is there anyone here who can contact Old Man Mu?"
"No."
White Demon shook his head directly. "I just checked. The strongest ones here are only in the Immortal Lord Realm; they aren't qualified to contact an Emperor Venerable at all... If you want to get in touch with an Emperor Venerable, these people aren't nearly important enough. Perhaps we'll have to go to the Star Battlefield's front lines. There are Immortal Emperors stationed there, and perhaps they can contact an Emperor Venerable... But Emperor Venerables are mysterious and elusive, so even that is unlikely.
