The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1108 The War Drums Resound
"That's right, our group did send a cruiser, which is currently moored on the track outside this so-called Immortal Ship Ruins, with at least five thousand people on board."

"Initially, our target was just General Hongshan, who had once brushed past us."

"After talking with your people more..."

"The discovery could go even further—to directly take over your planet."

"The people we're preparing to send to your abandoned planet are all a level above us; they are true strategic-level New Humans."

These are all pieces of information that the faceless entity has not revealed.

Led by Liu Sheng, the trial participants have now departed from the gathering place and are heading towards the scavengers' base.

My heart is heavy.

If Huang Xiuwen wasn't lying, in about three hours, the people of their home planet would face an enemy even more formidable than these scavengers.

Although many of the words used by the Faceless One were not quite understood, they roughly understood them after Liu Sheng's explanation.

According to the classification of the new humans—just like Liu Sheng once classified them—they can be divided into ten levels based on the size of the crystals in their brains, that is, the energy centers, and further divided into different layers based on their abilities in the void.

Levels one to three are considered low-level, corresponding to the Qi Refining stage/initial realm to the Mingzhen realm. They are considered "edge level" and have virtually no ability to survive in the void.

Levels four to six are considered intermediate, corresponding to the early to mid-stages of the Foundation Establishment period/early to mid-stages of the Profound Realm, and belong to the "survival level".

It possesses a certain ability to survive in the void, but requires the use of equipment and cannot expose itself outside the cabin.

Most of the current trial participants belong to this level.

Levels seven to nine are considered high-level, corresponding to the late Foundation Establishment stage - Golden Core stage / late Profound Realm stage - Divine Treasure Realm, also known as "Tactical Level".

It can survive outside the cabin for a short time, and with the help of equipment, it can operate in the void for a long time, and also has a certain void combat capability.

These scavengers are basically all at this level.

Level 10 is the ultra-high level, which means above the Nascent Soul stage and beyond the Divine Treasure Realm—the "strategic level" that the Faceless One will soon use as the vanguard of the invasion.

It can create independent domains, survive in the void for a long time without equipment, and influence the energy structure within the domain.

The one who controls the scavengers' base—the "big brother" the scavengers talk about—is a level ten powerhouse.

But in reality, for the Spectral Star, level ten is just the beginning.

Reaching level ten indicates that the energy the body can contain has reached the pinnacle of this realm, but more importantly, it depends on the [Influence Level].

That's right, Liu Sheng can now finally understand this concept more clearly.

According to what "World" previously said, the influence levels are divided into: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS.

"F" means "safe", "EB" means "dangerous", "AS" means "extremely dangerous", "SS-SSS" means "disaster", and "???" means "unknown".

This is determined based on the strength of the new humans' awakening abilities.

This strength or weakness does not necessarily refer to pure military power, but rather to the degree to which their abilities disrupt "reality".

Once you reach level ten, the difference in influence level truly becomes the insurmountable barrier that distinguishes strength and status.

Just like Xiao Xiao, who is SS+ upon awakening, even before she has fully grown, she will still arouse the vigilance of the Federal Empire.

These scavengers who took the lead, although they were already at the "tactical" level, mostly belonged to the dangerous level of EB in terms of influence.

The strongest Rift is only A-rank.

Within the group, he can only be considered a decent employee.

As for the "Unknowable" level, it represents the pinnacle of influence in this world. It is said that it cannot be achieved through awakening but must be comprehended.

This level does not signify greater strength, but rather symbolizes control over a certain primordial energy, enabling one to interfere with or even rewrite some rules, and possibly even step into the boundaries of higher dimensions.

However, once you grasp the rules, reaching the peak of level ten is usually a piece of cake.

In a sense, they are already gods.

For Faceless, this is a legendary existence; how it was cultivated and how powerful it is are unknown.

Only the "aristocrats" mentioned by the scavengers, who are the true ruling class of the colorful planet, could possibly get a glimpse of this.

This is because only those families with at least one "unknown" powerful member are qualified to rise to the rank of noble.

Once someone becomes a noble, even if their strength isn't top-tier and their influence level isn't necessarily above B-grade, they have mastered a stable path to awakening and a systematic way of cultivation, and they monopolize resources. This inevitably puts them above those lower-level new humans who awaken through dangerous methods and enhance their abilities through physical modification.

Once that "unknowable" one is lost, the aristocratic status will collapse, and the social class will rapidly decline.

According to Liekong, this is the situation in his group.

The family behind them, with the fall of that "unknown" one, fell from nobility to scavengers.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; it still has enough resources to barely keep this scavenger group running.

Perhaps because Wumian's life was in Liu Sheng's hands, his cooperative attitude was better than ever before.

Providing this information wouldn't cost him anything; on the contrary, it would only make these trainees more aware of the vast gap between them.

"but--"

“Now those high and mighty guys can’t do anything about it.” Faceless sneered. “The Federal Empire has abandoned us all, and the nobles are no exception.”

"Because of Advent?"

"Yes……"

"The Spectral Star has no value left, let alone us scavengers. The day of its arrival is approaching. Once the last bit of value is consumed by the higher dimensions, we will only be left to wait for death in the cold night."

Liu Sheng suddenly understood.

In reality, the Spectral Star is just another abandoned planet.

One day, the Federal Empire suddenly withdrew, leaving the people to fend for themselves.

Wang Dongdong, who was listening nearby, was puzzled.

"But our planet is also facing its own descent, so what difference does it make if you come here?"

"Then I have no idea." Faceless shrugged. "What could a lowly worker like me possibly know about the considerations of the bigwigs in the corporation?"

Indeed, the knowledge that the faceless one possesses is also very limited.

They weren't even clear on how the two sides connected or how they reached an agreement on cooperation.

All they knew was that there was a "Huang Island Master" who demanded to become emperor after the group arrived, which made the scavengers laugh at him in private.

She also mentioned a contact named "Li Xuan," who was the one who told them about the trial, the passage, and the token.

As for why this was done—

Faceless shrugged again: "I heard it's because you're no longer allowing anyone to be emperor, whether it's Island Master Huang or the family behind Li Xuan, so you have to rely on stronger forces to strike you down."

"As for why people think that introducing foreign enemies will get them what they want, I don't understand... Maybe it's just stupidity."

Huang Xiuwen, who was listening nearby, blushed deeply.

They didn't even dare to lift their heads.

Now, like Wumian, she is being led by Liu Sheng with a thin golden thread, feeling as humiliated as a mule being tethered.

The golden thread appears extremely thin, but it is incredibly strong, deeply embedded in the skin and flesh, making it impossible to break free.

There were nearly seventy more people behind them, all of whom were trial participants who had not yet been eliminated and were trapped here.

The group flew and traversed through layers of twisted and nested spaces.

Until that enormous cave suddenly appeared before their eyes.

The surrounding restrictions were stronger, and the traces of the domain could almost be seen. Some things that did not belong to this space were vaguely suspended in the air.

Twisted, cold, steel-colored slides and climbing pillars, as well as dilapidated, smoking small ships, and even beds and sleeping bags that fly in the air, only covered with restraints, floating in the air like wriggling horsehair worms.

This is the realm of the Rift.

Completely revealed.

Some things that flew crookedly, like deformed little birds, hovered in the air.

As the group approached, the "strange birds" suddenly paused, and huge eyeballs appeared on their heads, rolling around and staring at the group.

Wumian glanced at it, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Those were the reconnaissance planes we played with when we were kids; they were all modified from scrap materials from ships—"

As they were speaking, their eyes suddenly turned blood red!
The "strange birds" shot towards the group with a whoosh, like small cannonballs!

Everyone was horrified and instinctively retreated. Liu Sheng's gaze sharpened.

"No need to return it, trust me."

Raise your hand and take a picture.

A golden light suddenly appeared, and golden threads intertwined with flowing light appeared on everyone's bodies, instantly converging into an all-encompassing golden protective net.

The "strange birds" crashed into it one after another, exploding with loud bangs, flames rising, and scorching air waves rolling and sweeping across, illuminating the entire distorted space.

"Now—charge!"

At Liu Sheng's command, the crowd, enveloped in flames, formed a golden net of light that pierced the cave with sharp spikes.

A dazzling light burst forth from the barrier!
The domain was ripped open with a deafening roar!

A chilling voice echoed from the crack in the barrier:

"You...you have such audacity..."

It was the sound of the sky being torn apart.

With composure and arrogance.

"A mere swarm of ants at the survival level—"

His voice suddenly stopped.

Because a new field is slowly unfolding.

The snow-capped mountains stood tall, their cold light gleaming.

The Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, majestic and solemn.

The divine tree towers into the sky, its branches and leaves reflecting another world. A small town with ruins and broken walls emerges, with houses standing in rows. From the houses, faces peek out from behind the windows, their eyes fixed on the cave.

Above, there were countless stars, golden mountains of gods, giant ships gleaming like silver water, and celestial bodies with gravity strong enough to absorb all light sources...

Like a dream, yet also like reality, it pressed down from the void.

It overlapped and intertwined with the domain of the Rift itself, enveloping the scavengers who were swarming out of the cave.

At the heart of all this was Liu Sheng, who stood in mid-air, arms crossed, coldly observing.

At this moment, the group of trial participants suddenly realized what level Liu Sheng's strength had reached.

I couldn't believe it, but at the same time I was full of fighting spirit.

The scavengers were also terrified and dared not underestimate them.

A strategic-level battle is about to begin...

……

Meanwhile, at the Xianzhou-1 space station.

The harbingers of a major battle were already resounding in everyone's hearts like drumbeats.

After being interrogated, Li Xuan was imprisoned.

At the same time, Nangong Wan and the others finally received the reconnaissance intelligence sent back by General Hongshan and Liu Hongyi.

They learned that a cruiser over a kilometer long was hovering in the gravitational orbit of the remains of the fetal god.

The ship's structure is complex and bizarre, as if it were pieced together from countless ship fragments, and its body is covered with various gun barrels. Even when viewed through a light screen, one can still feel the oppressive atmosphere.

Not to mention there should be thousands of people on board, and according to calculations, there are at least nearly a hundred Level 10 super-high-level new humans.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

On Immortal Ship No. 1, Liu Hongshan has the highest cultivation level, reaching the super high-level tenth grade, and his influence level is still SSS-level. However, because his memories have not yet been restored, he has not been able to break through.

In other words, there were at least a hundred people on that cruiser who were in the same strength range as Liu Hongshan.

Is this an extraterrestrial civilization?
And what we can be certain of now is—

The appearance of this ship is inextricably linked to the information sent by Li Xuan and the collective loss of contact among the trial participants in the Flesh and Blood Immortal Ship.

However, even Li Xuan was unaware of the other party's scale.

Upon hearing this, his face turned deathly pale.

She realized that she and Island Master Huang were indeed naive.

"In the end, although thanks to the tireless efforts of the Earth Mother, the people of the world have gained new knowledge and have a very clear understanding of the coming of the apocalypse..." Nangong Wan shook her head.

Professor Hanni crossed his arms and replied coldly:

"But this knowledge came too suddenly and has not yet been successfully transformed into your human understanding. So for some people, there is still an unbridgeable rift between their original belief in gods, their obsession with power, and the ideals of the Earth Mother."

Mao Zhiang said in a deep voice, "Moreover, it is probably not a spur-of-the-moment decision by that Island Master Huang."

"That's right, the shadow of the Xiaoxiang Tower owner is also behind it."

Nangong Wan is referring to the scroll in her hand.

He explained in a deep voice:
"She secretly went to Xuanzhou, which had the least contact with the mainland, and cooperated with Huang Island Master by taking advantage of his ambition. Then, by secretly colluding with the remnants of the Tang Kingdom, she contacted Li Xuan on the Immortal Ship No. 1 and brought her into her camp."

"When the time came for the trials of the four kingdoms, the opportunity finally arrived."

"Back when Lindel was managing the warehouse, she took the opportunity to read many strange documents and learned about the existence of the Spectral Star and... the background of General Red Mountain from a student who had entered the Red Mountain Memorial Park."

"Then have Li Xuan broadcast the message through Tian'er Lake into the void to attract the attention of Banlanxing."

Bai Yuan was still shaken:
"Luckily, it seems this group of scavengers wanted to keep the news to themselves, so they intercepted the broadcast; otherwise, there probably wouldn't be this many people coming."

But that alone is already quite a challenge.

Compared to the enemy's heavily armed cruisers, the Xianzhou-1 hadn't even started construction on its weapons dock.

I never imagined we'd be facing war so soon.

Is this the danger of the void?

Only now did everyone truly realize one thing—

The abyss, though blocking humanity's view of the stars, is it not also a form of protection?

Once you've crossed the barrier, be prepared.

They must either grow into a civilization capable of directly confronting civilizations on other planets.

Or, it will be erased and turned into stardust.

But right now, it's clear we're not ready yet.

Just when all hope seemed lost, the "world" notification sounded in the command center:
[Prepare for towing.]

Reinforcements are on their way.

Everyone was taken aback.

support?

What kind of support is available to deal with that cruiser?

Bai Yuan suddenly frowned.

“There’s a sound… coming from the darkness of the abyss!”

"Look outside!" Yao Sibing shouted suddenly.

Everyone looked up at the vast black abyss in the starry sky outside the porthole, a barrier that could devour all light.

"That is……"

Mao Zhiang murmured, his voice strained.

Even Nangong Wan couldn't make a judgment for the time being.

Indicate that the "world" is zoomed in on the screen—

A silver, shuttle-like spaceship suddenly shot out from the depths of the darkness.

From a distance, it looks like a tiny sesame seed.
