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

Chapter 65 Ancient Civilization Relics

She opened the outer door and walked in, smiling alluringly at Jiang Lan, saying:

"How is it? The environment inside the War God Palace is pretty good, isn't it?"

Jiang Lan nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, this room was simply impeccable, exuding a high-end feel in every corner. Even knowing it was virtual, Jiang Lan couldn't help but marvel at how the person who created the War God Palace was a genius.

"You probably don't know much about the War God's Palace, do you?"

"Uh... I don't know."

He had only been in there a short while, and he hadn't even had a chance to look at the War God Palace regulations on the table yet. How could he possibly understand anything about them?

She chuckled lightly and said:

"Alright then, let me give you a brief introduction to the War God Palace."

"Okay." Jiang Lan sat up straight on the sofa like a primary school student.

Yao Rao wasn't reserved at all; instead, she strolled up to Jiang Lan and introduced him in a calm and unhurried manner:

"This War God Palace was jointly founded by the First Speaker Hong and the Second Speaker Thor. It is currently the most powerful force in all of humanity, without exception."

"On Earth, all War Gods and warriors who surpass War Gods are members of the War God Palace, including me. The management of the War God Palace, which we often call the 'Council,' is only qualified to enter the Council and become 'members' if their strength surpasses that of a War God and reaches the planetary level like you and me."

The electronic voice that just spoke addressed the alluring woman as a "senator."

Although Yao Rao was introducing things to Jiang Lan, her voice was exceptionally alluring to Jiang Lan, causing him to feel a surge of desire.

The alluring voice continued.

"In other words, the members of the War God Palace are divided into three types: ordinary members, councilors, and the speaker."

Jiang Lan had almost completely forgotten the rules of the War God Palace, and asked:

"If one needs to surpass the God of War to become a councilor, then how does one become the speaker?"

Yao Rao paused slightly upon hearing this.

"Becoming a speaker is quite simple: either you must possess outstanding strength or make a significant contribution to Earth. The five speakers currently in the War God Palace are the five strongest individuals on Earth."

At this point, a complex expression appeared on the alluring face as she continued:

"I have a feeling that before long, the number of chairpersons of the War God Palace might not be five, but six."

Jiang Lan simply smiled and didn't say anything.

To be honest, he had absolutely no interest in being the speaker of the War God Palace.

It wasn't that Jiang Lan disliked power, but rather that power on Earth held little allure for him.

Nowadays, apart from a very few planetary-level beings who surpass the God of War, the vast majority of the rest on Earth are far too weak compared to him.

Moreover, this gap will only widen over time.

In Jiang Lan's understanding, the essence of power is domination.

Therefore, as long as one is powerful, power becomes the least important thing.

"Alright, that's about it for the War God Palace." Yao Rao continued, "Also, the War God Palace is very large, with many places like a shopping mall, auction hall, trial tower, arena, etc. If you have time later, you can go out and take a look."

"I see."

This War God Palace is essentially a virtual miniature world.

However, the weakest people in this world are at the level of a war god, so the quality of resources, goods, and intelligence available here is extremely high, far surpassing that of the outside world.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"No more." Jiang Lan shook her head.

Yao Rao had already told him a lot, and he now had a complete understanding of the War God Palace.

"Alright then." Yao Rao looked at Jiang Lan and continued, "Now that we've finished talking about the War God Palace, let me tell you about the current situation on Earth."

Jiang Lan listened intently.

"The situation on Earth is actually far more severe than people imagine. Although the security of the base city can be basically guaranteed, it is mainly because we have laser cannons as a deterrent."

"Even so, those monsters would form a beast tide every now and then to attack the base city, but they were all intercepted by the various countries that organized manpower to do so."

"The only thing to be thankful for is that the King-level monsters won't participate in the beast tide, which can be considered a subtle tacit understanding between us humans."

"Speaking of which, it was only because the museum master negotiated with those king-level monsters back then that the two sides reached this tacit understanding. Otherwise, during each monster tide, the casualties among us humans would probably be many times greater than they are now."

Jiang Lan was somewhat surprised. According to Yao Rao's explanation, wouldn't the Earth be in danger at any time?

He realized that the peaceful and stable life in the base city was just a facade, and that one day an accident might happen and many people might die.

Seeing Jiang Lan's expression, Yao Rao seemed to know what he was thinking.

"You guessed right. That's why both our Limitless Martial Arts Academy and other forces place great importance on the training of martial artists, and internal fighting among martial artists is absolutely forbidden! Even now that you've reached this planet, you can't kill any low-level martial artists without a valid reason, otherwise all the strong individuals on Earth will unite to hunt you down!"

When she said this, Yao Rao's expression was quite serious, as if she was worried that Jiang Lan would break a taboo.

Jiang Lan smiled when she heard this.

Why would he kill someone for no reason?

Since being bound to the system, he has spent his time either in the wilderness or at the martial arts school, and has never made enemies with anyone.

He has always adhered to one principle: neither causing trouble nor being afraid of trouble.

It's fine as long as things are peaceful, but if anyone is foolish enough to offend him...

Then be more careful in your next life.

"Don't worry, I won't make enemies on my own."

"That's good." Yao Rao felt a little relieved, then said, "But if someone really causes you trouble, you can fight back. As long as you keep enough evidence, and after an investigation confirms that it's not your fault, no one will make things difficult for you."

"I understand."

The current leaders on Earth are still quite reasonable.

It's unacceptable for the strong to kill the weak without cause, but if they have a sufficient reason, they won't be bothered.

"Okay, I've finished telling you about the situation on Earth. Now, let's move on to the last item."

Before Jiang Lan could ask a question, Yao Rao continued:

"Ancient Civilization Relics!"

Jiang Lan certainly knew what ancient civilization relics were, but he still looked puzzled and repeated:

"Ancient civilization relics?"

"That's right! There are thirty-one ancient civilization ruins on Earth. These places vary in danger. Some can be explored by warriors at the God of War level, while others are so dangerous that even planetary-level warriors can't get in! We call those ruins forbidden zones!"
