Simultaneous Transmigration: Merging with the True Self of All Heavens

Chapter 116 Taking on Apprentices

After watching them leave, the leaders of Blade and Purple Gold came over and expressed their desire to become allies with the Xuanji Mercenary Group, just like Tianhuan.

These two high-ranking officials hold positions equivalent to regional leaders within their respective legions, and their personal invitation demonstrates their sincerity.

The organizational structures of the three major mercenary groups are largely similar.

Taking the Sky Ring Alliance as an example, at the very top of the organization is the Legion Commander, who is also the only "Five Rings".

Below him are two deputy legion commanders, who also possess A-level strength and are the legion commander's right-hand men, the organization's ace combat force.

Below that are the members at the fourth ring level.

They can be roughly divided into two types: one is a powerful combatant with a strength of B+, and the other is a high-level manager in charge of a region.

This time, the high-ranking official sent by Tianhuan to redeem the people was the person in charge of several nearby star systems.

The high-ranking officials from Blade and Purple Gold who were present were of similar rank and position to those from Tianhuan.

Now that they have witnessed the potential of the Xuanji Mercenary Group, they have taken the initiative to extend an olive branch.

Li Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity and immediately signed a contract with them.

The three major mercenary groups, Sky Ring, Blade's Edge, and Purple Gold, are the most famous mercenary forces in their respective star clusters.

The chances of an ordinary mercenary group becoming an ally of any of them are extremely slim, let alone cooperating with all three like the Xuanji Mercenary Group.

After signing the contracts, the three mercenary groups prepared to leave this desolate planet.

Goya walked over and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Li Yuan looked at Han Xiao, who thought for a moment and said, "Golden Palace, the first star sector of the Garden System in the Colton Cluster, a colony of Godora."

"Then take my spaceship, I'll get you there first," Goya said.

Li Yuan and Han Xiao naturally had no objections. After inviting the rest of the mercenary group to board the ship, the spaceship slowly started up and flew into outer space.

A few days later, the spaceship arrived at the Golden Palace, a colony planet of Godora located in the first sector of the Garden system.

Everything here can be described as being in the style of Godora from top to bottom.

The people of Godora dislike the imposing feeling of towering buildings or the solemnity of symmetry, so the buildings in the city are generally low and winding.

-

They love curves and arcs, so there are all kinds of curved and fan-shaped buildings here, mostly in gold and white, which look magnificent and pure.

There are no land vehicles on the streets; instead, there are dazzling magical tracks that accelerate people as they walk on them, making them as fast as cars, and eliminating traffic problems.

Of course, as a magical civilization, they also have various modes of transportation with magical features.

For example, using all sorts of strange and unusual creatures as mounts.

For example, there are magical items that can make translucent wings grow from the back of the user.

The pedestrians here wear all sorts of robes, and most of them are Godora people with skin as white as if they had been dusted with gold.

They moved slowly, appearing very relaxed and content, and retained many traditional lifestyle habits.

Li Yuan and Han Xiao disembarked from the spaceship. Han Xiao, familiar with the area, led Li Yuan to a small villa in the suburbs and rang the doorbell.

Not long after, the door opened, and an elderly Godora man came out of the house, looking at the two with suspicion, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Hello, Master Angdon, I've come here because of your reputation, and I would like to ask you to help me open a magical security item." Han Xiao recognized the other party as his target, so he went straight to the point.

"I see. Please come in then. I'll do my best to help you," Angdon said with a smile.

The villa was very luxurious. The two followed Angdon to the basement, where they saw countless magic circles engraved on the walls and floor, as well as many magical props and various sophisticated instruments for researching and analyzing magic.

After Li Yuan paid the fees in full, Angdon placed the Secret Word Bead in the analysis array, opened the heavy magic book, and began to chant.

Soon, the sealing magic circle on the Secret Word Bead appeared in mid-air. Angdon observed it carefully for a while before starting to draw magic lines on the magic circle with his fingers, breaking it little by little.

After Li Yuan and Han Xiao waited for several hours, the sealing array in mid-air suddenly shattered like glass.

"It's done." Angdon nodded to the two of them.

"Thank you, Master." Han Xiao said, taking back the Secret Word Bead.

After leaving Angdon's villa, the two found a secluded spot and activated the Whisper Bead.

Once the seal was removed, this thing could be opened with a simple twist, revealing two items inside, both of which had been shrunk by magic, allowing them to be stored within the Whisper Bead.

"It's these two things!" Upon seeing what was inside, Han Xiao's breath hitched, and his eyes froze.

After returning to the Juberly Hub, the Xuanji Mercenary Group reverted to its previous pattern, occasionally accepting mercenary missions.

On this day, Melos suddenly approached Li Yuan.

"You mean, the superhumans of your Sunil tribe want to join the Xuanji Mercenary Group?" Li Yuan asked.

"Yes." Melos was a little embarrassed. After all, he hadn't joined before, but now that he had, it was obvious that his fellow clansmen were just trying to take advantage of the Xuanji Mercenary Group.

After all, the Xuanji Mercenary Group has already made a name for itself in the industry. Not only can it get more job opportunities, but its commission share has also increased, which is much better than Sunil's treatment if he works alone or joins other mercenary groups.

"How many people want to come?" Han Xiao asked.

"Probably a hundred or so," Melos thought for a moment and said.

The hundred-plus people were just a small part of Sunil's superhumans. After the Xuanji Mercenary Group signed a cooperation agreement with the three major mercenary groups, Tianhuan, Daofeng, and Zijin, they remembered that their fellow B-level expert, Melos, was in the Xuanji Mercenary Group. So someone took the lead in gathering over a hundred of their kind, wanting to join them.

Li Yuan and Han Xiao exchanged a glance, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After all, players will temporarily disappear due to version updates, and we can't just stop the mercenary group's business every time that happens.

Therefore, recruiting some "locals" will be a necessary thing to do in the future.

Now, it's just right for the Sunil people to test their skills.

After a series of actions, these hundred-plus Sunir people joined the Xuanji Mercenary Group and were formed into a new squad.

Xuanji receives a cut from each of their missions, making it a win-win situation for everyone.

As expected, not long after, all the players logged off.

Without these immortal combatants, the Xuanji Mercenary Group temporarily suspended accepting new employees, only occasionally completing missions from Longtan.

On this day, after escorting a batch of supplies back to Longtanfu Island, Li Yuan led Hela and Aurora into Ames's residence.

On previous occasions when he returned to the floating island, Ames was not there, and he didn't know where she had gone. This time, he happened to catch her return to the floating island, so Li Yuan naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.

"What do you want with me?" Ames sat on the throne, scrutinizing Li Yuan for a while before finally remembering that he was one of the subordinates she had taken in before.

Li Yuan didn't seem to care much about this. After gesturing to Hela and Aurora behind him, he said:

-

"Lady Ames, I would like to ask you to teach them how to use their supernatural abilities."

"They are sisters, each capable of—"

Amos initially had an indifferent expression, but as Li Yuan spoke, her eyes gradually became serious.

After Li Yuan finished explaining the two sisters' situation, she slowly sat up straight, lost in thought: "One controls death, the other controls life, yet they are still sisters—"

"Long ago, there seemed to have been remarkably similar figures in the universe—"

She pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "A long time ago, during the Exploration Era, Rank A was considered the endpoint of individual power evolution, and no one could break through Rank A to continue improving."

"During the chaotic wars of that period, countless exceptionally talented A-level powerhouses perished on the battlefield."

"But at the same time, war is also a catalyst, bringing out the full potential of superhumans."

"In the later stages of the war, one superhuman finally broke through the A-level barrier and entered a completely new realm."

"His appearance seemed to break some kind of limit. On the battlefields of various star fields, one after another, calamity-level powerhouses have been sublimated and broken through."

"These people may have already reached a bottleneck, and the first Super A-level guided them on the path. Or there may be other reasons. In any case, Super A-levels that had never appeared before suddenly sprang up like mushrooms after rain during that period."

"After the war, these original Super A-class beings became known to the world, were recorded, and were hailed as the 'First Ones'."

"Among them, there happened to be a pair of sisters whose abilities seemed to be the power of death and the power of life—"

She scrutinized Hela and Aurora, her eyes filled with interest.

The chances of them being sisters with similar superpowers are astonishing; even a one in a trillion wouldn't be enough to describe it.

She thought for a moment, then slowly said, "I'd like to—take you as my apprentices. Are you willing?"

"We are willing," Hela and Aurora said in unison.

Before they arrived, Li Yuan had already told them the purpose of their trip, and the two of them were prepared.

The sense of powerlessness they once felt under the pressure of Mengya made both sisters want to increase their strength in order to protect the people they love most.

Therefore, they were already prepared.

Ames smiled and nodded slightly: "From today onwards, you are my disciples."

Terrarim Cluster.

This is the star cluster closest to the central wormhole cluster within the Shattered Star Ring region, and also the area where the Scavenger force is the largest.

On the spaceship, Han Xiao looked down at the desolate planet through the porthole and nodded: "That's right, this is it."

0

He opened the planet's information and pointed to a coordinate on the map, where a towering forest stretched out: "This location is the secret base of a small group of scavengers, and it's also our target for this trip."

"They have something we need."

Melos glanced at the map a few times and asked, "How strong are they?"

"They only have one B-level superhuman, whose strength is quite average. The main thing is that the base's defenses are quite strict, and there's also a secret passage leading to the underground spaceship hangar. The exact location is here." Han Xiao reached out and drew another circle on the map.

Li Yuan glanced at it casually and said, "Then I won't go down. You guys handle it."

Han Xiao nodded slightly and quickly finalized the attack plan with Melos.

Soon, two egg-shaped drop pods were launched from the spaceship, breaking through the planet's atmosphere and falling towards the forest like two fiery meteors.

boom!

After smashing through several trees, the airdrop pod embedded itself deeply in the ground, sending large chunks of soil and wood flying far away.

The hatch opened, and Han Xiao strode out. After getting his bearings, he rushed straight toward the base.

Click click click!

One by one, the mechanical compression spheres landed, and with a flash of lightning, they were activated by mechanical force, quickly unfolding into more than thirty leopard-shaped mechanical beasts that guarded his side.

"go!"

At Han Xiao's command, the mechanical beasts launched a simultaneous charge.

As soon as they stepped into the base's perimeter, metal plates cracked open on the ground, from which more than a dozen automatic machine guns sprang out and began firing.

The blazing bullets struck the mechanical beast's armor, scattering sparks that rang out incessantly.

However, this level of attack was nothing to the mechanical beasts, who scattered and slaughtered them, quickly turning all the defensive machine guns into scrap metal.

Just then, Melos came through the communication, his tone rather helpless: "I'm already at the hangar, but there isn't a single ship here. Don't bother, there's no one at the base."

Upon hearing this, Han Xiao's eye twitched. No wonder he had fought all the way to the door but hadn't seen a single person.

"What a coincidence!"

He shook his head and swaggered into the passage opened by the mechanical beast, arriving inside the base.

Although the base was not large, it was fully equipped. He spent some time completely breaking through the system firewall, gained control of the base, and entered the warehouse.

After rummaging through a pile of scrap metal for quite a while, he finally found his target.

This is a beautifully crafted statue, seemingly made of some kind of brown wood, but it is very tough and as strong as an alloy.

The statue wasn't large, and it depicted a strange-looking creature. If I had to describe it, I could only say it looked a bit like a praying mantis with its body twisted into a pretzel.

As soon as he picked it up, a muffled whisper suddenly echoed in his mind.

"That's right, this is it." Han Xiao smiled and put the statue away.

He knew the origin of this thing; it came from the Void Spirit Cult and was originally a set of items that drifted from a distant star system through a wormhole in the center of the Shattered Star Ring. This statue was just one of the items in the set.

With this statue, he can take the next step and go find the person he's looking for.
