Chapter 348 Joining the Army?
Swish!
The Xuanfeng Shuttle swept across the sky and instantly entered a vast plain.
A refreshing yet powerful energy surged into the body and then transformed into divine power. This was something that could not be done in the cosmic sea or the primordial universe; one had to sense the ocean of laws to absorb divine power.
This "Jin World" can directly convert external energy into divine power.
All I can say is that it truly lives up to its reputation as the inner universe of the God-King!
Gu Ce's divine power trembled slightly, but the surrounding space did not even ripple. Clearly, the space here was incredibly stable; at least a battle at the True God level could not cause the space to shatter.
It's estimated that at least two Eternal True God level powerhouses would need to fight to destroy space, and that's only a possibility.
Gu Ce put away the Xuanfeng Shuttle and quickly landed. It was better not to be too conspicuous in the Jin world.
The plains are vast.
Although Gu Ce and Luo Feng did not enter the Jin World together, the places they entered were not too far apart.
Gu Ce randomly chose a direction to fly in, intending to first look around and see where any living creatures might appear.
……
I don't know how much time passed.
In the distance, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard, and Gu Ce's eyes lit up.
"Whoosh!"
Gu Ce instantly increased his flight speed and flew forward!
In the distance, the two sides engaged in battle can already be seen.
One of them was a strange beast resembling a giant python, with a divine body spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Its imposing aura was immense, and if converted into combat power within the cosmic sea, it would roughly possess the strength of a sixth-order universe lord.
On the other side was a human wearing thick brown armor, holding a broad longsword. He was clearly weaker, probably only at the level of a fifth-tier universe lord. However, his armor seemed to be the strongest and most precious armor, which allowed him to withstand multiple attacks from the alien beast.
Upon seeing Gu Ce approach, the heavily armored human was overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Brother, help him!"
The shout attracted the attention of the giant python-like beast. The giant python-like beast looked at Gu Ce with hostility, but did not launch an attack rashly. Although Gu Ce stood there empty-handed and seemed to be full of openings, the giant python-like beast was somewhat wary.
It's as if... if I take action myself, I'll die!
Gu Ce nodded slightly. Fortunately, he had learned the language of the Origin Continent through the Wu Kingdom's heritage, otherwise he would not have been able to communicate with the people in this Jin world.
And languages that originated on the continent.
Before Gu Ce entered the Jin World, he had already instructed Rimuru to teach all the universe lords and strongest beings in the Hong Alliance the language, so there was no possibility that he would not know the local language after entering the Jin World.
Hang in there.
Gu Ce didn't say anything more, and instantly flashed to the front of the giant python beast!
Although this giant python-like beast, without possessing any supreme treasure, could rival the sixth-tier Universe Lords in the cosmic sea solely through its own strength, it was ultimately just a Universe Lord. No matter how strong it became, it could not break through that boundary.
Faced with such an enemy, Gu Ce didn't need to use the Boundless Void at all; he could suppress and kill it with the power of his own secret technique alone!
"Whoosh!"
The Azure Sword slashed out.
With just one sword strike, he annihilated most of the giant python beast's divine body!
Without the restriction of the original cosmic will, even without opening the Boundless Void, Gu Ce could unleash 14000 times the divine power of the Lord of the Universe, which had already reached the realm of a true god. Combined with the Primordial Embryo Azure Sword and the seventh-order top-tier secret technique "All Living Beings", the giant python beast was killed by Gu Ce's second sword before it could even react!
Such clean and efficient movements, without any fancy tricks, a swift and decisive kill!
"Holy crap! Brother, are you a real god?" the heavily armored man beside him exclaimed in surprise.
From the moment Gu Ce appeared to the moment that strange beast perished, probably less than half a minute had passed.
Even a true god would probably have to put in some effort to kill this giant python beast!
"A true god?" Gu Ce raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled, "I'm not quite one yet."
Within the Jin world, there are probably some universe lords capable of killing true gods. Gu Ce doesn't need to claim himself as a true god; universe lords with such strength would actually receive better treatment.
For example... the armies of the Jin Dynasty!
In the world of Jin, the army is the supreme entity, commanded by four generals of the Eternal True God level, as well as a large number of Void True Gods and True God level powerhouses.
The entire Jin world was originally a military camp prepared for the God King of Jin!
Only by joining the army can one obtain more treasures and secret techniques to enhance strength, including the ability to face even stronger opponents—all of which can only be achieved in the world of Jin.
Gu Ce was quite interested in the special legions within the military.
Upon hearing that Gu Ce was not a true god, the heavily armored man became even more excited.
"Ah... then, brother, are you a traveler?"
"I guess so," Gu Ce nodded. "I plan to join the army."
"The army? That's great, brother! I was just planning to join the army!" the man exclaimed with delight.
"Brother, my name is Di Hu, and I come from the Zi Mai tribe. My father was a very powerful True God, and that's why I was able to obtain this armor," Di Hu said proudly. "If it weren't for this armor protecting me, I probably would have been eaten by that beast before you even appeared."
Gu Ce nodded slightly and said, "You can call me... Cang Wu."
"Brother Cangwu, which army do you plan to join?" Dihu asked excitedly.
The armies of the Jin dynasty were divided into four different armies based on their location: the East, the South, the West, and the North.
"Which army is closest to here?" Gu Ce asked.
Having only recently entered this world of Jin, Gu Ce, who had not yet obtained sufficient intelligence, was unable to determine which army's territory he was in.
"Eastern Army, I also plan to join the Eastern Army," said Di Hu Lian.
"Then let's go to the Eastern Army." Gu Ce nodded.
Eastern Army?
It's not bad; at least relatively speaking, it's more familiar to me.
In the original story, Luo Feng joined the Eastern Army.
"Then let's go, brother," said Di Hu excitedly.
Gu Ce nodded slightly, letting Di Hu lead the way, and they headed towards the Eastern Army.
……
Virtual universe, atop Thunder Island.
A group of cosmic lords from the human race are gathered here, preparing to discuss how to deal with the fourth forbidden zone, the "World of Jin".
This time, only Gu Ce and Luo Feng from the human race entered the Jin world to explore; the other powerful individuals did not rush to enter.
Therefore, their discussion revolved around the two of them.
"I've heard that there are beings in the world of Jin who surpass true gods?"
"I've heard that the world of Jin is filled with countless supreme treasures!"
call!
The Lord of Chaos City appeared, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
"Gentlemen."
The Chaos City Lord, seated in the main seat, swept his gaze across the area.
"The Jin World has been open for some time now, and besides my Hong Alliance, powerful figures from various major forces in the Cosmic Sea have entered. My Hong Alliance has gathered a lot of information, and other forces have also collected a lot of information. After exchanging some information... today, I will explain it to you all, and then decide how to deal with this Jin World."
"The World of Jin..."
"Incredibly powerful!"
"But in reality, it should be considered a fragment of an ancient civilization. The ancient civilization has long since fallen. Although the Jin world is powerful, the native strongmen within it can only live within the Jin world forever. They cannot come out alive," said the Chaos City Lord.
"It is naturally not as powerful as a complete ancient civilization. But it is still a fragment of an ancient civilization," the Chaos City Lord said solemnly. "For us, who are still very inexperienced, it is definitely an opportunity, but also a challenge."
"In the world of Jin, battles rage everywhere. The core of the entire world of Jin is the 'army,' an army belonging to a certain God-King. The army also conducts a brutal selection process. Once you enter, you temporarily lose your freedom and must obey military orders. The selection process is extremely brutal, and the mortality rate is very high."
The Chaos City Lord solemnly stated, "Over 300 powerful individuals from various forces across the Cosmic Sea have entered, and to my knowledge alone, more than 160 have perished! Among them, the powerful individuals from my Hong Alliance suffered relatively fewer casualties because they were given the language of an ancient civilization beforehand, but it was still quite terrifying."
"In the world of Jin, tribes are numerous, including countless ancient ones. In the wilderness, many kinds of special life forms and strange beasts dwell. Traveling in the wilderness makes it easy to be attacked. Those natives know some safe routes, but we don't. So, just by entering, in less than half a year, more than half of us have perished."
"They haven't even joined the army yet! And more than half of them have already perished!"
"If you join the army, it is said that the elimination and death rate is over 95%! Only in the army is there detailed guidance on cultivation to become an existence 'beyond true god', and you can know this from the death rate... In our entire universe, I'm afraid it will be difficult for even one person to eventually reach the level of surpassing true god."
It was quiet.
The human universe masters, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, fell silent.
So many people died without even joining the army.
Once you join the army... another batch will be eliminated before you can become a true god... the army will never easily pass on the teachings to a higher level from true god, so you can imagine how high the elimination rate is...
cruel!
"Our human race possesses an ancient civilization," said the Lord of Chaos City. "In the Jin world, this is likely considered a high-level heritage. Therefore, we need not risk going there for now. Let's observe for the time being, and as time passes and we delve deeper into the Jin world, its secrets will gradually be revealed..."
"If it really comes down to it, only those who have clones are allowed to take the risk."
"Um."
"We must be careful."
One by one, the lords of the universe calmed down and were no longer as fanatical as before. While true power must be fearless, it cannot be too reckless.
Everything needs to be planned carefully!
