Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 166 Squad

Star of the Birds is one of the eight major logistics bases within human territory, and also a fixed transport point for the cosmic army. A large number of cosmic warriors from various cosmic nations gather here and are then transported to the battlefield outside the region.

The importance of this place is self-evident.

After leaving Chaos City, Luo Shen boarded a mechanical race spaceship and headed straight for the Bird Star.

The Star of Birds is an artificially created planet, which is itself a star fortress and can be transformed into a war machine when necessary, somewhat similar to a god base in an extraterrestrial battlefield.

Inside the spaceship's control room, Luo Shen was gazing at the enormous planet in the distance.

"We've finally arrived."

"Master, guidance signal received from the planet Wyvern." The spaceship's intelligent system announced on the control panel screen: "Signal received, proceeding to the planetary docking port according to guidance."

As a fixed transport point for the space army, it naturally has its own rules.

After all, even a mid-level civilization like Qiulong Star needs to dock its spaceships at a spaceship docking port, and the same is true here.

Soon, the spaceship entered the planet's interior.

Spaceship parking area.

A young man in silver standard combat armor hurriedly came forward: "Hello, I am a staff member here. Those heading to the extraterritorial battlefield, please come this way. Lone warriors will all go to the gathering point along this passage."

Luo Shen stepped out of the mechanical race's spaceship and glanced at the other party.

As expected of the Bird Star, even the staff are cosmic-level.

After putting away the mechanical race's spaceship, Luo Shen nodded to the silver-armored man and said, "Thank you." Then he proceeded along the passage indicated by the man.

At the end of the passage is a large square.

A quick glance reveals a diameter of at least a hundred kilometers. A considerable number of people have already gathered in the square, sparsely scattered around finding places to sit. There are plenty of alloy benches available for them to sit on.

Lone warriors need to gather a certain number of people before venturing into the outer battlefields.

After all, it's impractical to transport each one as it arrives; the operational costs would be too high. Therefore, hundreds of Realm Lords are gathered together before being transported to the Extraterritorial Battlefield all at once.

I casually asked a staff member how much longer it would take before we could depart.

The staff told him that more than ninety realm lords were already waiting there, and they estimated that they would be able to gather one hundred realm lords to set off in a few more days.

Fortunately, Luo Shen was lucky.

Recently, quite a few realm lords have been heading to the outer battlefield. Luo Shen only waited here for half a day before encountering a team of seven realm lords heading to the outer battlefield together, so he quickly gathered enough people to set off.

"Cosmic level, everyone assemble here."

"Domain Lords, assemble here."

"All realm lord level experts, come this way."

Under the guidance of the staff, the gates of the passageway in the square were opened, and all the lone travelers in the square were classified according to their strength.

"Welcome to the Planet of the Birds!" an immortal deity proclaimed. With the spread of immortal divine power, the voice quickly resounded throughout the entire plaza, reaching the ears of everyone present. "Before you depart, you will undergo a traditional authority-granting ceremony."

Luo Shen and over a hundred other realm lords listened quietly.

"The extraterritorial battlefield is not as free as it was in the space kingdom before. The army has its own rules and clear hierarchy. Subordinates must obey their superiors. Therefore, the granting of authority is to determine your accurate status in the army."

The immortal god glanced at the crowd and said, "How do we confirm this? Through your strength!"

The rating is based on performance in the virtual universe, and there are three levels: ordinary realm lord warrior, elite realm lord warrior, and realm lord general. Ordinary realm lords are ordinary realm lord warriors, while those who can gain recognition from the fundamental laws are considered elite realm lord warriors.

The ranking of Realm Lord Warriors is not easy. Even Realm Lords who have fought in the outer battlefields for hundreds of years can barely obtain the title of Elite Realm Lord Warrior.

Only a very small number of super realm lords whose strength is infinitely close to the immortal level can be directly rated as realm lord war generals.

Luo Shen and over a hundred other realm lords used this method to reach the immortal god.

"beep!"

A beam of blue light shot out from the screen of the Immortal God Armguard, enveloping the Realm Lord who was walking towards him. Then, voices automatically emanated from the screen, granting each Realm Lord's army authority.

Clearly, this group of lone wolves are all quite strong, with the vast majority being elite realm lord warriors.

Besides Luo Shen himself, the Realm Lord Warriors also included the seven Realm Lord Squad members who arrived at the end. This adventure team, composed entirely of Realm Lord Warriors, was not to be underestimated.

Even the immortal gods couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.

"good."

The immortal god nodded, a hint of satisfaction on his face. He hadn't expected that among this batch of newcomers, there would be seven World Lord War Generals, which was far stronger than the newcomers of the past.

In the past...

Among these one hundred realm lords, there might not be even one realm lord general.

Luo Shen's gaze swept over the seven people. Seven Realm Lords and War Generals had come together, forming another small team. It seemed they were of high status.

But Luo Shen didn't care about any of that.

Soon it was Luo Shen's turn to authorize.

A sweep of blue light.

"World Lord Warrior!"

Another message notification sounded, slightly louder than usual, and this sound also attracted the attention of the other realm lords around. Even the seven realm lord generals who were enjoying the attention of others looked over in surprise.

Obviously.

They hadn't expected that among this batch of newcomers, besides themselves, there was another Realm Lord Warrior.

Luo Shen calmly walked to the side.

The authorization process ended quickly. Among these hundred-plus realm lords, there were a total of 8 realm lord generals, 77 elite realm lord warriors, and 15 ordinary realm lord warriors.

soon.

The cosmic-level and cosmic-level authority granting ceremonies have all concluded.

The immortal god's voice suddenly grew louder, echoing in the ears of tens of thousands of warriors: "Everyone, follow me. We will teleport you all to the outer battlefield shortly. This inter-clan war involves a great many warriors, so there are eleven battlefields in total, all located outside our human territory, hence the name 'outer battlefield.' You are going to the seventh battlefield!"

Perhaps because the fighting on the seventh battlefield was more intense and the number of dead and wounded was greater, Luo Shen's destination was still the seventh battlefield.

but.

For Luo Shen, it doesn't matter which battlefield it is, since his strength is undeniable, and he would be the absolute top performer on any battlefield.

"But this saves me trouble, as I don't have to go back and forth anymore."

Luo Shen thought to himself.

After all, his destination was the Star Tower, and the numerous King-level experts fighting within it. If given the chance, he would really like to enslave a few of these King-level experts for his own amusement.

Just as Luo Shen was pondering the situation of the Seventh Battlefield, a powerful aura suddenly surged out, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to look outside.

Before them, a figure strode towards them, each step covering tens of kilometers, quickly traversing thousands of kilometers to reach them.

"Greetings to the Immortal King!" the immortal deity hurriedly bowed.

That's a King-level expert, someone who is considered one of the top combat forces even in the outer battlefields, and definitely not someone they can afford to provoke.

But the figure completely ignored the greeting, walked straight up to Luo Shen, and said with slight displeasure, "Didn't you say you'd wait for me? Why did you sneak off by yourself?"

Luo Shen helplessly shrugged and said, "I told you in advance, but the team was assembled so quickly this time. You can just come find me at the Seventh Battlefield again."

It turned out that the visitor was none other than King Namjag.

She had previously agreed with Luo Shen that they would set off together when Luo Shen went to the battlefield outside the domain. However, due to the distance and the fact that the team that was originally supposed to wait for a few more world lords suddenly had seven more members, making a total of one hundred, Luo Shen and the others were about to set off when King Nanga arrived.

"An excuse." King Nanga rolled his eyes.

The surrounding realm lords and domain lords, including the seven-person realm lord battle general team, all stared in disbelief at the interaction between Luo Shen and King Nanga, completely dumbfounded.

exist?

Someone's putting on airs here!

That's an immortal title! How dare you speak so frivolously? Aren't you afraid that the other party might get angry and slap you to death?

The seven-man Realm Lord War General team originally thought that their team was outstanding among the hundred Realm Lords, but they found that there was actually a pterosaur hidden in their team!

They're not even on the same level.

The arrival of the King of Namgyal did not have much of an impact, only slightly delayed the journey. Then, under the command of that immortal god, tens of thousands of warriors marched forward.

Led by the immortal deity, they soon arrived at a huge hall, which was thousands of miles in diameter and contained 11 enormous spatial water curtain-like passages.

It is a fixed cosmic space channel!

These eleven spatial water curtain-like passages correspond to eleven battlefields in the extraterritorial battlefield, and the one they are heading to is the seventh one!

The Seventh Battlefield is a cosmic secret realm with a maximum diameter of about 10,000 light-years. However, after billions of years of slaughter, the danger of this cosmic secret realm itself has been weakened to the extreme. The main threat comes from alien enemies.

Each battlefield area has a total of one hundred military bases, and Luo Shen and his group are heading to military base number 001.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

One by one, the warriors entered the water curtain, while Luo Shen and King Nanga were the last to arrive.

This fixed cosmic space uses a divine kingdom as a transit station. People first arrive at the divine kingdom and then travel through a spatial channel to the corresponding military base.

Take a step forward.

Luo Shen and King Nanga soon appeared at another location, the No. 001 barracks of the Seventh Battlefield!

"Quick, quick, the new recruits are here!"

"Hey, why is there an Immortal King who came along this time?"

"Let's go!"

Shouts rang out one after another, and then, upon noticing the presence of the King of Nanga, they quickly dodged away at an even faster speed.

Luo Shen glanced at the King of Nanjia with a smile.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not a man-eating tiger. They ran away on their own." King Nanga glared at Luo Shen with annoyance.

Guided by the staff, Luo Shen and King Nanga quickly arrived at an elegantly decorated hall. The hall had tens of millions of seats, and at a glance, there were at least hundreds of thousands of realm lords sitting in it.

Logically speaking, this is the gathering place of the realm lords, and King Nanga should not be here.

But since Luo Shen was a realm lord and the King of Nanga had the power to suppress others, they could only let it be. The only ones who felt uncomfortable were the realm lords sitting in the gathering point.

After all, they were just staying here peacefully when suddenly an immortal appeared, and a king-level immortal at that! That's terrifying!

Fortunately, they discovered that King Nanga did not intend to pay attention to them, but simply followed Luo Shen quietly, and gradually they got used to it.

They can't help it if they're not used to it; they have nowhere else to go.

The military has its own rules.

Every participant in extraterritorial wars is required to have military merits. Luo Shen was no exception. Before accumulating enough military merits, he had to join a certain organization and obey orders.

He originally intended to join an elite world lord squad.

For example, the seven-person Realm Master Warrior team that he encountered before was a good choice. Each of them was quite strong. Although there was no Immortal in the team, which made them vulnerable, Luo Shen didn't care about that.

However, because of the King of Nanga by their side, they are now completely ignored, or rather, everyone is avoiding them and dares not get close at all.

After all, that's the title of King of Immortality. Who would dare to provoke them? They could easily kill them without any punishment.

So everyone simply avoided them.

But as a result, Luo Shen couldn't find a team to join.

"Then why don't you just come with me?"

King Nanga said nonchalantly, "Anyway, with your mission, killing two Marquis-level Immortals will restore your freedom. With our strength, isn't that a piece of cake?"

Luo Shen thought for a moment.

That seems to be the case. Anyway, it only requires following orders, and it doesn't say that you have to find the Realm Lord's team.

"Then you'll need to register a team first," Luo Shen said. "Once you've registered, I'll join."

King Nanga chuckled and said, "You didn't expect that, did you? I am a team all by myself. As a King Immortal, you don't need to apply to form a team. You can just freely recruit teammates."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Luo Shen rolled his eyes in annoyance: "If I had known it would be like this, why would I have brought you here? We could have just gone straight to the battlefield."

He genuinely didn't know.

After all, these things were not mentioned in the original work. Most of the information was analyzed from the data provided by the intelligence department of the Virtual Universe Company, but it did not mention that the King Immortal could freely form teams.

Even the higher-ups at the Virtual Universe Company were unaware that Luo Shen had brought with him a King of Immortality when he went to the extraterrestrial battlefield.

"It's not too late to know now."

King Nanga chuckled, downed his drink in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said, "This stuff still doesn't taste as good as Earth's soda. It's a pity I drank all the soda I brought. I'll have to bring more next time."

Luo Shen glanced at it but didn't say anything.

During the time she spent on Earth, she was either eating or on her way to find food. Almost all the delicacies on Earth had passed through her stomach, but she never expected that the most attractive thing was still the sugary drink.
