Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

At the end of the passageway is a beautiful square.

The square is huge, with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, and at this moment, tens of thousands of people have already arrived in a scattered manner.

As soon as Lin Yan entered the square, a glamorous female receptionist with a fluffy tail came to greet him.

She had a beautiful face, a slender figure, a fluffy tail swaying gently behind her, and a professional smile in her eyes.

"Hello, please rest here for a while." Her voice was soft and sweet. Her gaze swept over Lin Yan, and suddenly a hint of surprise appeared on her face. "You... came alone?"

Lin Yan nodded.

A hint of surprise flashed in the receptionist's eyes.

On the battlefields beyond the domain, domain lord-level warriors who report alone are even rarer than immortal gods.

Legion members at the cosmic or domain lord levels typically gather in their respective cosmic kingdoms and then arrive en masse, led by immortal gods.

Those who act alone are basically strong individuals who have completed their military merit quotas and returned to the battlefield free.

Please make yourself at home.

The receptionist quickly resumed her professional smile and gestured towards the alloy benches in the square.

Lin Yan nodded and casually chose an empty bench to sit on. The bench, made of alloy, had a smooth surface and felt a bit cool to the touch.

He leaned back in his chair, raised his hand, and his watch automatically lit up, revealing a blue screen in front of him.

"Soldier: Lin Yan"

"Identity: Space Warrior of the Lanyou Universe Kingdom"

Military merits: 8211.

These 8000-plus military merits were earned through his desperate struggle on the Ninth Battlefield. This number is considered quite good at the cosmic level, but it's not even a fraction of what's earned at the domain lord level.

"drop--"

Suddenly, the watch emitted a notification sound, and the data on the screen began to fluctuate.

"Warrior Lin Yan, changes in your physical attributes have been detected. You are now at the Domain Lord level. Your military merit quota has been increased to 10. Your military merit exchange privileges are reserved with 1 quota."

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

10—this is his new military merit quota.

Only by fulfilling this quota can he gain his freedom; otherwise, he will have to serve and fight indefinitely until he fulfills the quota, or... die on the battlefield.

As strength changes, so do the quotas for military merits.

Lin Yan had anticipated this situation. Unless he had already met his quota and gained his freedom, he would have to obey military orders.

"but……"

Lin Yan turned off the light screen and leaned back on the bench. "10 military merits may seem like a lot, but they won't last long!"

Killing a lord-level alien race alone can earn 100-1000 military merits. When you are weak, it is difficult to obtain military merits, but as you become stronger, you can obtain them quickly.

He single-handedly killed an ordinary realm lord from another race.

That's 10 military merits.

……

wait.

Time passed while we waited.

The number of people in the square increased, and in less than three days, tens of thousands of people had gathered there. Some were like Lin Yan, who had been recalled alone, while others were pure Realm Lord level lone travelers.

this day.

A complete cosmic legion has arrived.

The vast group of over ten thousand people was led by a middle-aged man dressed in black armor. His face was stern, his eyes were sharp, and he was surrounded by a faint silver light.

His aura was as vast as the sea, causing tens of thousands of people present to bow slightly in respect.

"Set off."

The sound echoed in the hall.

Tens of thousands of people set off at the same time, and Lin Yan mingled in the crowd, walking towards the passage at the end of the square.

Wow~

The curtain of water engulfed him.

Using the divine kingdom as a transit station, when Lin Yan and his group arrived at that transit station, they entered the space channel again and were then teleported to the No. 045 military camp base in the eleventh battlefield outside the human territory.

……

Lin Yan felt the space and time shift before his eyes, and with just one step, he was in another place.

"Someone's coming!"

"Haha, the new recruits have arrived."

"We have new recruits."

A cacophony of sounds filled his ears. Lin Yan looked up and found himself standing in a huge hall, with a dozen soldiers in white armor on one side.

In front of this group of soldiers, a figure stood with his hands behind his back.

This was a young man dressed in a white robe, with a youthful face, looking no more than twenty years old. He was surrounded by a faint silver light, and there were faint electric snakes moving in the depths of his eyes.

Immortal gods.

Only a powerful being like an immortal god, even without deliberately releasing their aura, could make the air in the entire hall seem to freeze simply by standing there.

"Welcome to the Eleventh Battlefield, '045' Barracks Base, all new recruits."

The immortal god in white robes spoke, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears, carrying a natural affinity.

"All the realm lords went with him, the domain lords went with him, and the universe lords went with that little girl."

He raised his right hand and quickly designated three guides, then added, "If you are a soldier recalled from the Ninth Battlefield, please follow the instructions of the military system to proceed to the legion to which you have been assigned."

Lin Yan turned on his watch, and a clear path immediately appeared on the screen. Without hesitation, he stepped in the direction indicated and soon arrived at another hall.

At this moment, over a thousand people have gathered in the hall.

Some stood in small groups in the corners talking, some sat alone in chairs with their eyes closed to rest, and some gathered together to watch the battle information on the screen.

The vast majority were new faces, but there were some—

"Lin Yan?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the crowd, filled with incredulous surprise.

Lin Yan turned his head and saw a familiar figure.

Longko.

His old captain.

The old captain from the 477th Army Corps era, the captain who led them through life and death on the Ninth Battlefield, and who often told them during the retreat that "living is the greatest victory."

Longko stepped out of the crowd, walked quickly to Lin Yan, looked him up and down, and made no attempt to hide the shock in his eyes.

More than two hundred years ago, Lin Yan was just a lowly soldier under his command. He was usually taciturn, but ruthless and decisive in battle.

He remembered the young man, his performance in the Fogfall Belt, and even more so, Commander Xian's appreciation of him.

But he didn't expect that in just over two hundred years since they separated, Lin Yan's strength had already surpassed his.

"you……"

Longko opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Congratulations? Best wishes? Or a sigh?

"team leader."

Lin Yan smiled and bumped fists with him.

Longko gave a wry smile and waved his hand. "Don't call me captain anymore. You're much stronger than me now, and who knows, I might have to call you commander in the future."

Lin Yan did not respond.

His gaze swept across the crowd, searching for other familiar faces.

Some of the old comrades from the 477th Legion came, and some didn't, but the rest of the people who knew Lin Yan all showed expressions of shock.

They all remember Lin Yan.

After all, the news of being appreciated by Commander Xian and obtaining the Nether Soul Crystal had spread like wildfire throughout the entire legion. But no one expected that in just 200 years, he would far surpass many of the people present.

These past 200 years.

What exactly happened?
