High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 235 The Pursuit List of Prodigies! The Mechanical Race Descends, the Iron Men Rebel!

Just as Qin Feng's fighting spirit was rekindled and he set the grand goal of "Eternal Singularity" for himself, a communication request suddenly popped up on the virtual screen in front of him.

It's Caesar.

On a whim, he connected the call.

"Qin Feng, how are you now?"

Caesar's voice, with a touch of magnetism and arrogance, came through, accompanied by the faint glow of star map data streams in the background.

"I've already cleared customs."

Qin Feng's reply was as concise as ever.

"it is good."

Caesar replied with only one word.

The next second, a violent ripple suddenly appeared in the space inside the ice cave.

The subspace portal was forcibly opened, and a figure clad in magnificent golden armor, with a tall and upright posture, stepped out and appeared precisely in front of Qin Feng.

It was Caesar.

He glanced around the simple cave, which was nothing but ice, and raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, seemingly surprised by Qin Feng's choice of environment for seclusion. However, he quickly focused his attention on the matter at hand.

"Qin Feng, the changes in the situation have taken me somewhat by surprise."

Caesar's expression was very serious, and his deep blue eyes flashed with a thoughtful and solemn light.

As the commander of the alliance, he rarely used the word "unexpected," which speaks volumes about the seriousness of the situation.

"Before participating in the Cosmic Genius Battle, I specifically looked up the publicly available recordings of the previous Cosmic Genius Battles in the Imperial Records."

Caesar said in a deep voice, "However, because the competition lasted so long, I only got a superficial understanding of it, but it was enough to draw a conclusion: the core format of each Cosmic Genius Battle may be the same, but the specific variations are definitely different."

He stretched out his fingers and drew streams of data in the air.

"Just like the points-based elimination system, the hunting system, and the hidden item system we are experiencing now, these core frameworks have been maintained for four consecutive competitions."

However, the galaxy environment, venue size, time mechanism, and so on are completely different for each competition.

This led to some errors in my previous assessment of the situation based on the 'conventional warfare' model.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's gaze also turned serious.

"how do I say this?"

Qin Feng asked, "I've also just had some new ideas. Why don't you share your thoughts first?"

"it is good."

Caesar nodded, collected his thoughts, and said, "To be honest, those who can qualify for the competition in the major battle zone are all the most outstanding young talents in their respective major battle groups and star systems."

They are top geniuses who have fought their way up from among millions of martial artists. Before… I underestimated the heroes of the world.”

Caesar said this with a calm expression.

"Although our progress is the fastest in the entire war zone, we have not achieved an absolute lead."

"These guys are improving at an equally rapid pace."

Moreover, there are quite a few people who made preparations in advance.

According to my intelligence analysis, at least a hundred people had already prepared the level eight killing technique inheritance before the competition even started!

Not to mention, some people also obtained level eight killing techniques from the newly emerging top-tier resource points during the competition.

Caesar's words prompted Qin Feng to nod slightly in agreement.

He fully understands this.

He obtained the level eight killing technique "Vast Mountains" as a reward from the betting agreement.

If he has this opportunity, other top geniuses can naturally have it too; it's just a matter of probability. If the base number is large enough, the number of people will be considerable.

Then Caesar continued, his tone becoming even more serious.

"The most direct evidence of this is the combat power ranking and the interstellar alliance ranking."

"First is the individual combat power ranking."

Caesar pulled up a dynamically changing list, with countless names scrolling wildly across it. "Seventy years ago, you killed seven newly-entered star-level warriors from the Cape-Kalle Alliance with a single blow, an amazing feat that propelled you to the top of the combat power list. At the same time, you were also number one on the personal points list."

However, during the seventy years you were in seclusion, the individual combat power rankings experienced extremely drastic fluctuations.

He pointed to the list and said in a deep voice, "It is no exaggeration to say that in the past seventy years, none of the martial artists who have made it into the top ten have been able to hold onto that position for a year!"

In at most a year, or often only a few months, they will inevitably be overtaken by the more brilliant achievements of those who come after them.

The top ten list has changed time and again.

“Back and forth, countless monstrous geniuses have climbed into the top ten, only to be pushed down by even stronger monstrous geniuses.”

Caesar's gaze finally settled on a spot outside the top 100 on the list, where a record that already looked somewhat "outdated" was recorded.

"Look, all you have left is the record of instantly killing seven stellar-level martial artists back then, and now you've been squeezed out of the top 100."

"They've been pushed out of the top 100 in the standings."

This fact speaks for itself.

Qin Feng understood.

This means that all the geniuses in the entire war zone have passed the initial accumulation period, and with the emergence of more and more resources, the martial artists have entered the explosive stage.

Star-level powerhouses are emerging like mushrooms after rain, frantically fighting and plundering each other, creating astonishing achievements.

"As for the Interstellar Alliance rankings,"

Caesar abruptly changed the subject, switching to another list, "The situation is exactly the opposite of the individual combat power list."

Decades ago, the competition for the Star Alliance rankings was just as fierce, with the rankings changing daily.

However, in the last decade, the changes in the rankings have begun to slow down, and the positions of the top twenty super leagues have basically stabilized..."

"I see."

Before Caesar could finish speaking, Qin Feng nodded and took over the conversation.

"I did a calculation when I came out of customs."

Under our 'Six Star System Alliances' alone, after nearly a century of rest and training, the number of newly promoted stellar-level warriors has exceeded one hundred.

If we were to allow them to consume all of the advanced stellar resources, our current output would be far from sufficient.

Furthermore, we occupy too many star systems, while the number of core members is relatively small, making it impossible to perfectly control every territory.

Therefore, almost all large alliances, after expanding their territory to a certain extent, will stop and enter a phase of digestion and consolidation.

"Well, that's right."

Caesar nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his eyes.

Although Qin Feng had been in seclusion, his insight into the situation was exactly the same as that of the commander who was always paying attention to the overall situation.

"According to my prediction,"

Kai lost the analysis chart and his tone became certain, "The next trend will be that the top stellar-level warriors within the major alliances will begin to act in small teams. Their goal will no longer be to occupy territory, but to seize those rarer and more precious 'galaxy-level resources'."

If anyone succeeds, their strength will experience a tremendous leap, thus disrupting the existing balance. As for the vast territory we occupy, its massive resources are sufficient to support a large number of planetary-level peak members in advancing to stellar-level, making it a continuous arms factory.

"That's right, that's what I think too."

Qin Feng nodded, signaling Caesar to continue.

"Ah."

Caesar continued, "The Great War Zone is now in its 680th year, and the next change to the rules of the Great War may not be far off."

My plan is to take advantage of this final period of stability to launch a blitzkrieg and annex all the insignificant, scattered star systems surrounding our alliance's territory, as well as several small alliances!

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"We will expand our alliance territory from fifty-one star systems to about three hundred star systems in one fell swoop!"
Let's strive to achieve this goal before the 700th year arrives!

"no problem."

Qin Feng nodded without hesitation.

Three hundred star systems—this is an extremely staggering number, enough to increase the alliance's resource reserves several times over, providing a more substantial foundation for future battles for supremacy.

"Oh, right,"

Having seemingly finished discussing serious matters, Caesar suddenly remembered something and asked in a casual tone, "What kind of singularity do you envision for the future?"

"Eternal Singularity".

Qin Feng answered calmly.

Upon hearing this answer, Caesar's face revealed a knowing smile.

"Me too."

He smiled and said, "Having experienced the benefits of the 'Supreme Yuan Aperture,' there's no need to make this choice. Of course, you should choose the strongest 'Eternal Singularity.'"

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Then, the two of them didn't linger any longer.

A huge three-dimensional star map unfolded in the ice cave, marked with densely packed star coordinates and power distribution.

Caesar pointed to the star map and began to plan the battle objectives in detail: "Star systems 170 to 190, these twenty star systems are currently unclaimed and can be the first batch of targets."

"Furthermore, this 'Red Scorpion Alliance,' composed of six star systems from 191 to 196, is the weakest and can be our first target..."

Qin Feng listened quietly, nodding occasionally or offering a suggestion or two.

Soon, a detailed battle plan was formed.

Immediately afterwards, a war mobilization order jointly signed by Qin Feng and Caesar was released in the private forum of the Six Star Alliance.

[Supreme Order from the Alliance: All members, end your rest period. The war begins immediately!]

This brief announcement, like a nuclear bomb dropped into a calm lake, instantly ignited the entire alliance.

All alliance members who were in seclusion, practicing, or carrying out missions immediately put down everything they were doing upon seeing the announcement.

The fighting spirit, suppressed for nearly a century, was ignited at this moment.

The warriors responded enthusiastically and rushed to the designated combat assembly area.

Thus began a new round of large-scale expansion wars.

This war is unlike any other.

Facing the scattered stellar-level powerhouses in those small alliances, Qin Feng and Caesar only joined forces to carry out a few thunderous decapitation operations in the early stages of the war.

They descended upon the core of the enemy alliance like ghosts, and with an absolutely irresistible force, wiped out the enemy's stellar-level leader in one blow.

After eliminating their top-tier combat forces, they ceased their actions.

The remaining vast battlefield was left to be handled by the more than one hundred newly promoted stellar-level warriors under the alliance.

Cang, Lengyu, Yanwu... these former prodigies have now grown into powerful stellar-level combatants capable of standing alone.

They traversed the vast battlefield, leading a massive number of planetary-level warriors, like sharp daggers tearing the enemy's defenses to shreds.

This was a crushing victory without any suspense.

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, those scattered star systems and small alliances were simply unable to mount any effective resistance, and the warriors were eliminated one after another.

Thirty years have passed in a short time, and when the time pointer of the war zone points to the seven hundred and tenth year.

The territory under the Six Star Alliance has expanded wildly from the original fifty-one star systems to a full three hundred!
A colossal entity spanning hundreds of star systems was thus formed.

On the icy planet, Caesar looked at the latest battle report and nodded in satisfaction.

"The resources of three hundred star systems are enough for those newly promoted stellar-level warriors to use for a while. The Alliance's battle merit system can remain stable for the time being."

He looked at Qin Feng and said, "Next, the two of us can go into seclusion again to further improve our strength. At the same time, we should also start paying attention to intelligence on those 'galaxy-level resources'."

"Currently, it seems that no star system-level resource point has been truly acquired in the entire war zone."

"it is good."

Qin Feng nodded.

……

However, just as Caesar was preparing to further explore the intelligence regarding "galaxy-level resources," an unexpected change occurred.

hum-

The ancient jade pendants hanging from their waists, which served as their identification for the competition, lit up simultaneously without warning, radiating an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

Immediately afterwards, lines of golden characters made of pure energy, as if they were alive, emerged from the jade tablet and were clearly imprinted on their retinas.

The competition continued for 700 years.

A large-scale alien invasion has been launched within the war zone. Those killed by the aliens can respawn, but will be unable to enter the hunting phase and will be directly eliminated.

The 'Mechanical Race' invasion event has begun. Please participate!

[Ten stellar-level prodigies from various races have been deployed to the war zone. Please check your inventory.]

[All Races' Stellar-Level Prodigies: Ranked on the 'Human Race Prodigies Hunt List']

【…】

On the jade tablet, messages appeared one after another, each containing explosive content that could overturn the entire war zone's landscape.

Inside the ice cave, a deathly silence fell.

Both Qin Feng and Caesar, who were always calm and composed, were momentarily stunned upon seeing this information.

Qin Feng's first reaction was to immediately divert a sliver of his attention to access the public and private domain forums covering the entire war zone.

As expected, the public forum was in complete chaos.

The entire interface seemed to be boiling, with tens of thousands of posts refreshing in the same second, creating an unprecedented data storm in terms of information density.

All the pages were completely flooded with the two keywords "Mechanical Race Invasion" and "Prodigy of All Races".

"The invasion of the mechanical race...and the deployment of the prodigies of all races?"

"I never expected... it would be such a fancy move!"

Caesar couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Qin Feng, it seems our previous worries were unnecessary! The Eternal Singularity... now it seems not only is it not impossible, but it's even highly promising! There are just too many resources being delivered to our doorstep!"

Qin Feng regained his composure, and his gaze sharpened as well.

"If I remember correctly, the life forms of the machine race are an extremely precious resource."

"It's more than precious!"

Caesar's tone was full of emotion, "It's practically a tonic tailor-made for us!"

He began to explain in detail.

"The 'Mechanical Race,' as one of the pinnacle races in the universe, has a very unique life form."

Below the planetary level, their individual strength isn't top-tier, but they can create all sorts of powerful mechanical constructs, forming a terrifying "mass production" tactic—it's incredibly formidable.

"Once they break through to the planetary level, their core will undergo a qualitative change, and their mental power will begin to grow wildly."

At this point, they will be able to create special mechanical creations that possess a 'machine soul'.

This creation possesses combat awareness and its fighting power far surpasses that of ordinary machines; however, its manufacturing speed becomes extremely slow.

"As for the stellar level..."

Caesar's expression turned serious. "Mechanical lifeforms of this level possess immortality and indestructibility, similar to our 'Undying Projection'."

They are themselves a mobile super arsenal. Given enough time and energy, they can theoretically create an endless army of mechanical creations of the same level, each possessing a 'machine soul'.

One person is an army!

He paused for a moment, then pointed out the most crucial point.

"And our real goal is the so-called 'machine soul'!"
It is a highly condensed, pure core of spiritual will. After capturing and refining it, it can greatly enhance the strength and quantity of our own spiritual power!

"As for the star-level mechanical life form itself, its value is immeasurable."

If its entire core could be refined, the resulting improvement would be far greater than refining thousands upon thousands of 'machine souls'!

Upon hearing this, even someone as resolute as Qin Feng had a burning light in his eyes.

What does he lack most right now?
It is a massive amount of resources that can support him in building the [Immortal Tower] to a scale of tens of millions of light-years!
This sudden arrival of the mechanical army was practically a feast tailor-made for him!

Caesar seemed to have seen through Qin Feng's thoughts and added with a smile: "After all, tracing back to the source, the Machine Race was an independent civilization that split off from the human race after the 'Iron Man Rebellion' in the early days of the human empire."

It can be said that they are a race created by our human race.

Therefore, their spiritual core is of the same origin as ours, and we can directly refine and absorb it without any rejection reaction.

"Looking across the entire universe, only the Machine Race and another top race—the Zerg—possess this characteristic."

Caesar shrugged. “Other intelligent species in the universe, such as those green-skinned people who only have ‘WAAAGH!’ in their heads, the Rakshasa, Shadow Clan, Stone Clan, Holy Spirit Clan… their mental fields all have strong racial pollution characteristics, which we human warriors simply cannot directly refine.”

Qin Feng nodded to indicate that he understood. He had seen a detailed record of this on the Imperial Forum.

If a human warrior forcibly tries to refine and absorb the chaotic and fanatical 'WAAAGH!' force field of the Greenskins, their own mental power will soon be corrupted, their soul will be distorted, and they will eventually become like the Greenskins, a madman who only knows how to fight and destroy.

And those corrupted souls will ultimately be toyed with by Khorasan.

Therefore, among all life forms in the universe, there are only two that can be directly refined and absorbed by human martial artists as "nourishments"—the mechanical race, which shares the same origin as the human race, and the insect race, whose insect hive will core is refined to the extreme.

"I see……"

Qin Feng understood, and then asked another crucial question.

"What are the 'prodigies of all races' and the 'human race kill list' mentioned in the announcement?"

This question caused Caesar's relaxed smile to slowly fade, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

"Um……"

He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "'The Ranking of Prodigies' - this is something that our human race has, and in fact, all the races in the universe have it too."

To put it bluntly, it's just a blacklist.

Each race would compile a list of the most promising geniuses from rival races, aiming to mobilize all resources and spare no expense to nip them in the bud before they fully matured.

Let me give you an example.

Caesar looked at Qin Feng and said, "All of us participants in this major battle zone, including you and me, are probably already on the 'Pursuit List of Prodigies' of various hostile alien races."

After all, we are the most outstanding young talents selected from countless star systems by the top warbands of the human race.

Qin Feng nodded, indicating that he understood the concept.

"but,"

Caesar's tone became more serious, "Any alien race that can make it onto our own 'hunt list' is a completely different story."

His expression turned extremely serious.

"Those who can be included in this list by our human race are all the most outstanding talents, the most monstrous geniuses!"
They must possess extraordinary, heaven-defying cultivation talent in some aspect, far surpassing their own kind, and among their peers, they possess terrifying combat power...

This is a list of extremely high quality, even bordering on "terrifying."

"And these ten prodigies from all races who have been deployed to our war zone this time..."

Caesar took a deep breath. "They were probably captured alive from the battlefield of all races by some powerful human being. Being captured alive and then used as 'tools' in our training grounds basically sealed their fate."

"They themselves must be aware of this."

"so……"

A cold glint flashed in Caesar's eyes. "It's foreseeable that once they're deployed to the war zone, these madmen, knowing they're doomed, will unleash a bloody massacre on our human geniuses in the most insane, cruel, and reckless way!"

"The only thing that is unclear now is what level of the stellar level these ten geniuses of the myriad races are currently at."

After hearing Caesar's explanation, Qin Feng finally understood.

If the "Mechanical Race Invasion" was a "resource feast" that fell from the sky, full of opportunities, then the arrival of these ten "prodigies of all races" was a deadly hunter mixed in with this feast.

Of course, a mechanical invasion is not necessarily a resource feast.

The brutality of the entire war zone was pushed to an even more chaotic and bloody level by the release of these two announcements.

……

Inside the ice cave, after digesting the shocking information from the announcement, Qin Feng and Caesar exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of absurdity in each other's eyes.

"At the seven hundred-year mark, the mechanical race suddenly invaded and also sent out so-called geniuses of all races."

Qin Feng couldn't help but complain, "At this rate, will they come up with something like 'Chosen by an Evil God' or 'The Descent of Chaos' later on?"

His words were half a joke, and half a serious guess.

The mastermind behind this battle of cosmic geniuses seems to always like to suddenly overturn the entire chessboard when the contestants think they have figured out the rules.

"You know what, it's actually possible."

Caesar shrugged: "Who knows what strange things they'll pull out in the eighth or ninth hundred years?"

This selection process is far more complex than we imagined.

After a brief moment of banter, the atmosphere returned to seriousness.

"Then, how should we say it?"

Qin Feng looked at Caesar and posed the question, "We have two paths before us."

On one hand, there was the previously planned objective: to compete for 'galaxy-level resources';
On the other side was the suddenly appearing mechanical army.

Even if the former fails in the contest and is killed, they only lose some points and then enter the hunting phase, where they still have a chance to turn the tide. But the latter…”

His voice paused, then deepened. "The announcement clearly states that in the face of alien invasion, once someone is killed, there is no hunting period; they will be eliminated immediately. How should we weigh the risks against the rewards?"

This is a tough choice.

Galaxy-level resources are crucial to their ability to outpace others in terms of strength, and represent a steady and pragmatic path to advancement.

Hunting the machine race is a high-risk, high-reward gamble; if you win, the road to the "Eternal Singularity" will be smooth.
If you lose the bet, it's game over; you're eliminated immediately.

Which one should we choose?

A confident smile had just appeared on Caesar's lips, as if he already had the answer.

However, the smile on his face froze completely the next second.

His gaze was fixed on the virtual screen in front of him, which was constantly updating the latest battle situation, and his expression turned ugly at a visible speed.

"Now……"

He took a deep breath, his voice heavier than ever before, "We no longer need to choose."

"Quickly check the private forum in the war zone!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately turned his attention to the public forum.

On the forum, countless martial artists from different alliances and star systems were frantically updating the latest changes in an almost frantic tone.

[Warning! Machine race jump signals detected throughout System 1213! Number unknown!]

Our patrol was wiped out by a Mech race outpost in a single encounter! The enemy was at least a peak-level planetary combat unit!

[Help! Galaxy 2301 is surrounded! Red dots everywhere! We're trapped!]

One after another, blood-red emergency intelligence reports flooded the screen like snowflakes.

Caesar's voice rang out with difficulty: "The number of mechanical life forms... far exceeds all of our imagination!"
This isn't a targeted deployment, nor is it a regional invasion... According to the latest intelligence, almost every star system occupied by the participants will see a large-scale machine army of varying sizes!

Qin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly understood the chilling meaning hidden behind those words.

"You mean, the wider the territory the alliance occupies, the greater the pressure from the machine race it will face?"

"Ah."

Caesar nodded heavily.

For a moment, both of them were silent.

The Six-Star Alliance...

This name sounds impressive, but in essence, it is just a union of warriors from the original 99th star system and the 115th to 119th star systems.

However, these warriors from just six star systems occupy a vast territory spanning three hundred star systems!

This figure was something they were proud of not long ago.

But at this moment, it has become a heavy shackle that is enough to crush them.

Among all the super alliances in the entire war zone, their "Six Star System Alliances" are definitely a typical example of "vast territory and sparse population".

This situation means an extremely terrifying reality—they need to use the forces of a mere six star systems to simultaneously face an endless army of machine races from three hundred star systems!
The pressure is immense.

"We can choose to temporarily retreat and withdraw all our forces back to our original six star systems for defense."

Qin Feng calmly analyzed, "But this also means that we must give up the resource-producing areas of those three hundred star systems that we have painstakingly conquered."

This multiple-choice question was equally fatal.

If the territory is abandoned, the system established within the alliance, which exchanges battle merits for resources, will collapse instantly.

Those alliance members who fought valiantly for battle merits will have their merits reduced to a bunch of worthless numbers, which many martial artists will find unacceptable and become disloyal.

At that time, the entire alliance will disintegrate from within without the mechanical race needing to lift a finger.

Qin Feng and Caesar might even become targets of public criticism because of this decision.

If this had happened before, the alliance would have just fallen apart, and the two of them could have simply become lone wolves.

But now, the situation is completely different.

There were ten unfathomable geniuses from all races, whose identities were shrouded in mystery, like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, watching them with predatory intent.

Once they lose the protection of the alliance and fall into a state of betrayal and isolation, they will definitely be seized by those alien prodigies to launch a fatal sneak attack.

Qin Feng had a deep understanding of this. He would never forget how those martial artists he had killed in the past secretly tripped him up when he was still weak and being chased by Wolf Seven.

They spread his location, delaying his escape and nearly causing Qin Feng's utter destruction.

"Therefore, we have to play against the Mech race, and we can only win."

Caesar's voice was resolute and unwavering, filled with an unquestionable determination.

"However, the Alliance's battle merit system does not need to be linked to this mechanical invasion."

Caesar quickly made a decision: "The 'machine souls' of the machine race are pure spoils of war. Whoever has the ability to kill one gets the spoils. This will maximize everyone's fighting enthusiasm."

At this point, he sighed, a rare occurrence for him, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

"To be honest, I regret now that I didn't recruit some of the surrendered soldiers."

In our pursuit of efficiency and 'clearing the field,' we eliminated all the warriors from the conquered star systems as we fought our way here.

If we had kept some of them as vassals, the pressure we face from the machine race now would be much less.

"It's no use thinking about these things now."

Qin Feng interrupted his thoughts, "Let bygones be bygones. For now, the plan to compete for galaxy-level resources has to be put on hold for the time being."

"Yes."

Caesar nodded, his eyes sharpening again. "The most urgent task is to integrate all our forces to deal with this crisis."

"Let's gather."

Qin Feng said succinctly, "Command is now in your hands."

"it is good."

Caesar readily accepted the heavy responsibility, saying, "Time is of the essence. I need to build a relatively systematic army in the shortest possible time. It's very challenging, but I should be able to do it."

After reaching a consensus, the two immediately sent a top-level emergency assembly announcement in the private forum of the Six Star Alliance.

While waiting for the alliance members to assemble, the two of them simultaneously turned their attention back to the public forum of the war zone, wanting to see what was happening in other alliances.

However, a battle report that had just been refreshed and was forcibly highlighted in red by the system instantly caused both of their pupils to contract sharply.

[Battle Report: Chaktai, ranked tenth on the individual combat power list, encountered the alien prodigy 'Stone Clan - Stone Mountain' in System 147. After a fierce three-minute battle, he was defeated and killed, and has been completely eliminated!]

"..."

Chakta!
They've been eliminated!

Qin Feng and Caesar's expressions both became extremely solemn.

“Chakta…”

Qin Feng spoke slowly, his voice low and deep, "I remember him."

When I had just advanced to the Stellar level, this guy already had the glorious record of defeating a Stellar-level powerhouse of the same level in a head-on battle.

He probably broke through to the stellar level earlier than both of us.

Judging solely from the accumulation of his cultivation and the scale of his immortal projection, he is likely stronger than us now.

I didn't expect... to be eliminated so quickly.

"Outrageous."

Caesar was also deeply shocked. "In just over ten minutes, one of the top ten strongest fighters on the combat power list has fallen."

It seems that our assessment of the strength of these prodigies from all races was still too low.

Any one of them would definitely be considered a top-tier expert at the stellar level.

This news shocked the two of them.

However, there are only ten geniuses among all races, scattered across the vast war zone, making the probability of encountering one extremely small.

What's truly urgent now is the endless army of mechanical races.

Caesar quickly regained his composure and focused all his attention on the enormous light screen that had been displayed in front of him.

His fingers danced rapidly across the screen, splitting into hundreds and thousands of strands of spiritual energy that connected to the identity jade tokens of every alliance member rushing toward the assembly point. He began an unprecedented, large-scale unified deployment and temporary army building.

“Establish a ‘combat squad’ based on ten people, with one captain.”

"One hundred squads form a 'company' with one company commander and two deputy company commanders."

"Above that, we also need to establish 'regiment' level units, as well as supervisory teams responsible for battlefield discipline, reconnaissance teams responsible for intelligence gathering, and patrol teams..."

"..."

One instruction after another, one code after another, were issued clearly and efficiently by Caesar and passed on to everyone in the alliance.

His exceptional talent in this area is truly unparalleled.

In a very short time, he painstakingly built a complete, albeit somewhat crude, framework for a war system.

"Order: All reconnaissance teams that have completed their formation shall immediately begin patrolling the three hundred star system territories under our alliance's control via subspace teleportation, in team units!"

"Mission Objective: Locate the exact coordinates of the machine race lifeform!"

"Attention! Your mission is only reconnaissance. Do not engage in combat! Once you spot the target, immediately report the coordinates and then retreat!"

"..."

As Caesar issued his orders, the newly assembled Allied army began to slowly operate like a sophisticated and efficient war machine.

As for Qin Feng, he kept a close eye on the public forum of the war zone, paying attention to the latest news in order to obtain more information.

"The organizers are too bad."

Qin Feng said helplessly, "The information on the jade tablet is only the simplest explanation, and there are even jokes. There is a lot of hidden information that has not been explained, such as the mechanical race life forms appearing in every star system."

"..."

Qin Feng watched quietly and soon discovered several more messages.

[Capudo, ranked thirteenth on the combat power list, encountered a Shadow Clan prodigy, fell, and was officially eliminated...]

The third-ranked fighter on the combat power list, "Raven," encountered a prodigy from the Holy Spirit Fire Clan and fled, but has not yet perished...

[Power Ranking...]

"Ok?"

"These alien prodigies seem to be hunting down those ranked higher on the combat power list."

Qin Feng was surprised.

"No, it's the leaderboard!"

Caesar said.

"I see. It was probably the organizers who did this; there were just too many things they didn't explain clearly."

Qin Feng made a comment.

"Reconnaissance has detected signs of mechanical life forms."

"Qin Feng, we need to set off now. Each star system has one stellar-level life form, which means there are three hundred stellar-level mechanical life forms..."

"We might be eliminated."

Caesar's expression was grave.

Qin Feng had already donned his power armor, wielded the Star Devouring Spear, and activated the subspace teleportation network.

The same thing is happening within each alliance.

The rise of every star system alliance is built on slaughter. A large number of warriors have been eliminated, and now only one-tenth of the original number remain in the competition. Facing the mechanical race that is distributed according to star system, every star system alliance is under immense pressure.

Even so, those stellar-level warriors who were at star-level resource points still showed no intention of leaving the resource points to go back and provide support.

Because they have already spent too much time on galactic-level resource points, and the sunk costs are too high.

At the same time, the popularity of the official Empire live stream and the live streams of various event commentary organizations has reached a new peak.

Warriors from all over the human territory discussed it animatedly, with comments popping up from time to time, showing great curiosity about the mechanical lifeforms.

(End of this chapter)
