Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

One day later.

Beyond the Azure Star.

A densely packed fleet of spaceships arrived and came to a stop outside the atmosphere of Canglan Star.

These spaceships housed the star-level powerhouses found by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and other super-powerful forces.

As for other individuals who wanted to participate in the assessment, they were all turned away.

Previously, when this was just an ordinary assessment world, of course no one cared.

But now, knowing that there are treasures left behind by powerful realm lords inside, and that there may even be opportunities to break through to immortality, these major powers will not allow unrelated people to get involved.

As for the internal workings of these powerful forces...

Once the martial artists among them enter the Realm Within a Realm, they will definitely compete with each other for resources.

But no matter how much they fight over it, it's all an internal matter for them, and whoever gets it depends on their own abilities.

Whichever faction manages to seize it is simply lucky.

If you can't get any benefits, you can't blame anyone else.

Meanwhile, inside Thunder City, it was already packed with people.

The crowd was so large and dense that it was uncomfortable to look at.

There are more people in the scenic area than during holidays.

Tens of thousands of people were queuing up, one by one entering the villas leading to the Thunder World.

Qinia simply watched coldly, a hint of helplessness in the depths of her eyes.

At a glance, there are at least tens of thousands of people in line right now.

Moreover, these people are all Star-level martial artists, and some even have Adventure Cards.

Qinia is capable of preventing Domain Lords and even World Lords from entering this Thunder World.

But she can't stop those with adventure cards and eternal stars.

This Thunder World was originally a place for Hengxing-level trainee mercenaries to take exams.

All of these people in line have all the necessary paperwork.

She can stop things from violating the rules of the alliance, but in this situation, there's nothing Qinia can do.

Qinia clenched her teeth.

The people of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire have all gone mad for the benefits within and outside this realm!

They're even resorting to such tactics; I have no idea what they're thinking.

Just then, a warrior dressed in black combat gear came to stand in front of Qinia.

He bent down and handed over his adventure card with both hands.

"My lord, I am here to participate in the 'Apprentice Mercenary Examination'. This is my adventure card. Please take a look."

Qinia gave the newcomer a disapproving look.

Don't you know perfectly well whether you're here to participate in the trainee mercenary assessment?

Even when she was angry, there was nothing she could do about it.

He grabbed the adventure card and slammed it onto the machine.

Seeing that everything was fine, Qinia reluctantly threw the adventure card into the warrior's hand.

"Go in!"

"Yes, sir!"

The actions of the black-clad warrior were so flawless that no one could find fault with them.

As soon as that person left, another person dressed in the same manner appeared right behind him.

He bowed respectfully and handed over the adventure card with both hands.

Qinia's eyes widened.

If it weren't for the fact that these two people had completely different figures and appearances, she would have thought that time had reversed.

The movements were exactly the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.

"My lord, I am here to participate in the 'Apprentice Mercenary Examination'. This is my adventure card. Please take a look."

Qinia: "..."

She lost her temper.

Although the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and its forces handled things in a way that was infuriating, she couldn't find fault with them.

Even though she knew exactly what these people were up to, there was nothing she could do.

She clenched her teeth together.

Okay, you like playing, right?

Then I'll play along to the end.

I took the adventure card, checked it, and let it pass.

Then came the next one.

……

Within and outside the boundary.

"Those forces must have already organized their forces to come in."

Upon hearing Babata's voice in his mind, Jiang Lan's eyes flickered.

"There shouldn't be any martial artists with strength exceeding that of a star level who have entered."

"How is that possible?" Babata said, "This realm within a realm was left behind by the former 'Thunder Realm Lord' Kabu. Legend has it that this place may contain spatial secrets! And the other realm lords of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire must also know this news."

"Once you understand the secrets of space, it means you've mastered the laws of space. And these laws are crucial to whether a realm lord can break through to immortality, so the realm lords of Black Dragon Mountain, especially the peak realm lords, will definitely go crazy for it! So they will definitely be there in person."

"If you ask me, you've already reaped enough benefits. You might as well take this opportunity to leave. If a Realm Lord really comes, it's fine if he ignores you, but if something unexpected happens, the Realm Lord can crush you to dust with a single finger."

Jiang Lan pursed her lips.

"You said the Realm Lord would come, where is he?"

"How would I know..." Babata's voice sounded a little unsure. "Maybe we'll be there soon."

"Stop joking, it's been several days already. If they were going to come, they probably would have already."

Jiang Lan said, "If the Realm Lord were to actually enter this Thunder World, he could probably reach the center of this Realm Within a Realm in just a few minutes."

"Tsk...now that you mention it, it does seem so. Could something have happened?"

"You can connect to the internet, right? Why don't you check the virtual universe network to see if there's any news? That way you'll know."

"That's right!" Babata exclaimed, suddenly realizing. "Jiang Lan, you're so smart!"

Jiang Lan was speechless upon hearing this.

He wasn't clever at all; it was simply something Babata hadn't thought of.

Just as Jiang Lan's thought crossed her mind, she heard Babata's excited voice say:

"Found it!"

"How is it?"

"It's said online that for some reason, no powerful figures have entered this world of realm masters. On the contrary, the major families and forces are frantically organizing manpower to head to Canglan Star."

Jiang Lan's eyes flickered.

really.

Things turned out to be largely as he had guessed.

This time, he was lucky again.

Although this realm within a realm opened ahead of schedule for some unknown reason.

However, the general course of events is not much different from what originally happened.

For Jiang Lan, this outcome couldn't be better.

However, even if a powerful realm lord were to come to this realm within a realm, he wouldn't care.

They're simply the ones who don't get any benefit.

However, during his few days in this realm, he not only dug up many Thunderstones, but also had quite a few Cosmic Crystals in his storage space.

While it wouldn't make him instantly rich, it was enough for him to buy many necessities.

Jiang Lan stretched her limbs slightly and rose into the air.

In the past few days, he has been making progress little by little toward the center of the innermost realm.

Unbeknownst to him, he was now less than 10,000 kilometers away from the very center of the boundary within the boundary.

Well, it's about time; it's probably time to go take a look. (End of Chapter)
