Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Lottery of All Things

"Haha, Lao Yan, once you join the core of Virtual Universe Company and become successful, don't forget about me, Old Wolf!"

"If I ever go downhill, I'll come and rely on you!"

The giant wolf, always wild and with explosive muscles, patted its chest forcefully with its large hand.

The giant wolf with a wolf's head and a human body was a rogue cultivator who had no choice but to come to the outer battlefield.

Pu Yun, however, had a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes and said to Zuo Yan in a deep voice, "We'll fight again another time!"

Looking at Pu Yun, who was even taller than Ina and had an exotic charm, Zuo Yan sighed, "No wonder she's a female martial arts fanatic."

Pu Yun was born into the Martial God Clan of the human race, which is considered a branch of ape-men. He looks somewhat like a person from the Western Regions of China on Earth.

The Martial God Clan also possesses advanced bloodlines, with members reaching cosmic-level maturity upon reaching adulthood.

Furthermore, the Martial God Clan reveres martial arts and is in no way inferior to the Manka Star People, who possess peak bloodlines.

Zuo Yan listened to his teammate's words, stroked the soft fur of the little white panda in his arms, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Ina, who was standing next to Zuo Yan, refilled the empty wine glass in front of him.

With a mysterious expression, he said, "In this three-race military competition, those who rank in the top 100 will not only be able to join the core layer of the virtual universe and cultivate in Chaos City for thirty years, but may also obtain another kind of treasure!"

Everyone was drawn to Ina's words and looked at her.

The giant wolf, unable to contain its curiosity, was the first to ask:

"Captain, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me!"

Zuo Yan also looked at the girl next to him, who seemed to know a lot of secrets.

Seeing that her teammates were all looking at her, Ina began to speak.

"As you all know, Ellie and I are from the Star Dream Clan, and the powerful figure from the Virtual Universe Company who is representing the human race in this three-race military competition is an invincible elder from our Star Dream Clan."

"This military competition among the three races is precisely for the treasures found in the Hundred Spirits Secret Realm, within the Ninth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, in what was once a trial ground left behind by the Hundred Spirits Clan!"

"And this kind of treasure is also of great use to powerful beings at the level of a cosmic ruler."

On the other side of Zuo Yan, Ellie also said softly, "That's right, that's why the elders of my clan allowed some of our clansmen to join the army ahead of schedule."

"My sister and I joined the army more than ten years earlier and started to form our Energy Squad."

Zuo Yan already knew that the Yuanqi Squad was a newly formed squad, but he didn't expect there to be this connection.

"Could it be that we can also obtain it if we make it into the top 100 of the three-race competition?"

The giant wolf asked anxiously in a muffled voice.

Ina shook her head and sighed, "Even if we manage to get into the top 100, we'll only have a spot to enter the Hundred Spirits Clan's trial space."

"To obtain this treasure, one must perform exceptionally well in the trial space."

"The spots are earned by fighting against alien races to reach the top 100, which shows just how difficult the challenges in the trial space are!"

The crowd fell silent, though they were confident in their participation in the tribal military competition.

But each tribe has 10,000 people, so the three tribes have 30,000 people.

It sounds like a small number compared to the cosmic scale of the entire extraterrestrial battlefield.

But they are all elites who have been selected.

Many of them are core disciples carefully cultivated by powerful forces.

To break into the top 100 among 30,000 elites is an incredibly difficult task.

Moreover, this is a true life-or-death struggle, where death could occur at any moment.

In their team, only Zuo Yan, the strongest member, and Yina, the second strongest member, have a chance to break into the top 100.

The competition among the three races uses a point system, where the more alien races you kill, the higher your score.

It tests both the team's strength and the individual's strength.

Zuo Yan remained silent, having already instructed Xiao Juan to find out the information about the Hundred Spirits Clan.

Based on his demonstrated strength in the virtual universe, it is entirely possible for him to enter the top 100 in the three-race competition and secure a spot.

His authority allows him to know certain information in advance.

Looking at the current information, he seemed to be deep in thought.

The Hundred Spirits were once a powerful race in the universe. All members were plant life forms, and there were a hundred species in total, known as the "Hundred Spirits".

They grew up in the 'Hundred Spirits Secret Realm' and were born with a special innate skill called 'Spirit Transformation'.

It can cut off a portion of its bulky and enormous size and transform it into a spiritual form, thus maintaining its own strength while making it convenient for traveling through the universe.

They are kind-hearted and dislike fighting. They remain neutral among the various races in the universe and usually enjoy cultivating spiritual plants.

However, their homeland, on which they depend for survival, has blocked the expansion of the three most powerful races in the universe.

Therefore, after failing to win their invitation, the three major cosmic elites joined forces to annihilate the entire race.

The Hundred Spirits Secret Realm has become a dangerous secret realm battlefield in the Ninth Domain Outer Battlefield.

When the powerful members of the three races were plundering the Hundred Spirits Clan, they discovered a trial space.

It is a space created by the powerful members of the Hundred Spirits Clan.

It contains hundreds of kinds of spiritual plants that are full of vitality, and after they die, they will condense a life crystal.

One of these life crystals can enhance the user's life genes by 10 times, and only 10 crystals are needed to reach the limit of 100 times the life genes. It is of great use even to cosmic venerables.

The Hundred Spirits Trial Space only opens once every ten thousand years, and only one hundred cosmic-level trial participants can enter each time. Each trial participant goes through one hundred trials, and each person can obtain a maximum of one hundred life crystals.

If someone beyond the cosmic level or not forcibly enters, the trial space will not manifest.

Unless a powerful being, the ruler of the universe, forcibly takes control of spacetime.

But even if the Lord of the Universe didn't look down on these things, he wouldn't have the face to do them.

Therefore, the leaders of the three top races in the universe decided to leave the trial space of the Hundred Spirits Clan to the younger generation to compete for.

…………

In the system's world space, Zuo Yan sat cross-legged.

The squad selection competition held by Battalion 008 in the virtual universe has just ended.

The Energetic Squad has undoubtedly been selected and will participate in the Tri-race Military Competition a year from now.

He exited the virtual universe and took out an apple-sized octahedral transparent crystal from his spatial ring.

It was during his second use of a special lottery ticket that he drew the Time Sand from the prize pool.

A grain of sand in spacetime can last for a year, and can be accelerated tenfold.

Zuo Yan tossed the grain of spacetime sand to a spacetime sub-body that had split off from the nine-colored tree next to him.

The spacetime sub-body began to comprehend the secret runes of the two fundamental laws of time and space on the corpse of the Flowing Cloud Golden Dragon.

He plans to fully comprehend all 108 types of the two superior academy laws before the three-race competition begins.

This way, he can perfectly unleash the fifth level of the Dragon Pattern Sword Wheel's secret runes.

His true form began cultivating the second form of "Transforming Ten Souls" – "Transforming Ten Souls"!

Left-handed speech soothes the body and mind, and regulates the spiritual and mental state.

Then, in the sea of ​​his soul, a soul blade materialized in front of Zuo Yan's main soul.

According to the second move of the "Transforming Myriad Souls" secret technique, the attack began to strike the main soul.

With a single slash, the main soul split into two.

Zuo Yan began to absorb the medicinal power of the Divine Soul Fruit in his sea of ​​consciousness, slowly restoring his soul.
