Devour: Trade the future, abstract to godhood!

As the proctor for this assessment, should Ji Qing release the person or not?

Chapter 42: From Recruitment to Cooperation! They Even Turned the Tables!

If Ji Qing couldn't withstand the pressure and released the person, then it would be a dereliction of duty and incompetence in supervision.

It's possible that he'll be directly relegated to the sidelines by that immortal teacher.

Resisting pressure and refusing to release them?

She, a stellar-level being, was facing off against domain lords and even world lords.

Even with an immortal-level teacher backing you up, what if there are desperate followers?

They killed people, stole treasures, and then disappeared into other star systems.

In the vast universe, even finding an immortal would be extremely difficult.

This is a dilemma!

Luo Feng couldn't help but look at Wei Wen. He must know the outcome, right?

I'd like to ask.

But he had just been "taught a lesson" before, which made him hesitate for a moment.

—If something really happens to Ji Qing, when my elder brother finds out, he'll probably rush out without thinking, right?

Ji Qing at least had an immortal-level teacher.

They were the only ones behind Hong.

Perhaps the future holds promise, but for now we're just a bunch of tiny, insignificant creatures.

Think about it.

Luo Feng decided not to get involved.

—If it's really necessary, Wei Wen will definitely speak up.

Hong obviously thought so too, so he didn't ask.

A shadow fell over the cheerful atmosphere as everyone silently harvested the cosmic crystals.

Most of the day later.

"Drip drip!"

It is Hong's virtual universe communication application.

The person contacting him at this time is very likely...

Hong immediately became distracted by going online, and his movements slowed down slightly.

Wei Wen and his group moved closer in unison, becoming wary.

About half a minute later.

Hong Guai said—

"Ji Qing told me that the outside world is in complete chaos. Realm lords from Sanfu Mountain, Baihu Tower, Heiyun Society, Beilong City, and Heilong Mountain Holy Land have all descended upon Canglan Star."

"Ultimately, they reached an agreement that, under the guise of participating in the assessment, all parties would send 40 stellar-level beings, totaling 200 million, into the Thunder World."

"The next realm within a realm will be controlled by these five forces. Even if those who are not part of these forces manage to escape the encirclement, they will not be able to escape the outer checkpoints."

"So she asked us if we knew any of the five factions. If not, we could only evacuate first."

“The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance will send a World Lord to oversee things in a day, then it will be harder for her to operate.”

Wei Wen nodded knowingly.

Just like in the original story, Ji Qing withstood the pressure.

—How could Hargrave and his family dare to actually kill the disciples of the immortal god?

Teacher Ji Qing, the Illusionary Spirit King, is a King-level Immortal, while the Immortals of the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land are at most Military Lords.

They're not even worthy of carrying his shoes.

"Beep beep beep!" ×4

The auxiliary optical computers of Wei Wen and the other three all received virtual universe communication requests.

"Put them all into the World Ring," Wei Wen called out.

The group entered the World Ring, and with Ao Gu and Tie Nanhe leading them, they boarded the C9-class spaceship.

Only then was it connected to the virtual universe network.

It was Mingyu calling.

As soon as the four connected, Mingyu projected half of his body.

He smiled slightly upon seeing the four people.

"It's so good that you're all safe."

"Lord Mingyu," Hong said in a deep voice, "we already know about the Realm Within a Realm and the 200 million-strong army. Why are you here now?"

"You're very well-informed."

Mingyu laughed heartily—

"As you can see, an army of 200 million is about to enter, equipped with spaceships, laser guns, and railguns."

"Even if you are geniuses who have comprehended a domain at the stellar level, you still cannot contend with him."

"I am now the commander of the Three Axe Mountain forces for this operation. You may consider temporarily joining my command, what do you say?"

Wei Wen waited a few seconds.

That's all?

What's next?

Just recruiting, without any effort required?

But then I realized what was happening.

The four people now are not at the same level as in the original story.

He's a monstrous genius at the ninth rank of the Stellar level, possessing two domains, and there's even one with three domains!

The genius who made core disciple Ji Qing kneel four times in a row!

A promising player for the upcoming talent tournament!

Offering help in times of need will incur a debt of gratitude.

Four servings still!

In contrast.

The treasures of the realm within a realm are full of unknowns; a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

He's a smart person, though.

Hong didn't speak, but looked at Wei Wen.

—Whether it's his strength or his grasp of the future, he has more authority.

Wei Wen's eyes darted around.

A new idea has come to me.

"We appreciate Lord Mingyu's kindness."

"But kid, I have an even better cooperation plan here. Would you like to hear about it?"

Oh?

Mingyu looked slightly surprised and raised his hand to signal him to continue.

Wei Wen didn't speak first, but instead took out the purchase voucher from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank.

—It belongs to the C9 class laser gun and the C9 class spaceship.

The former can instantly kill a domain lord-level being.

The latter is virtually impenetrable.

It is naturally invincible.

"Even if they sent in a 200 million-strong legion, they wouldn't be allowed to carry laser guns that are more advanced than mine, would they?"

Wei Wen said with certainty—

"Otherwise, it will only start vicious competition, and in the end, everyone's interests will be harmed."

Mingyu gave Wei Wen a deep look.

I initially thought it was a case of "a genius emerging from a poor family," but now it seems he has extraordinary talent!

Even after the final assessment, it probably won't stop them.

If, like Ji Qing, another immortal god is summoned...

I've made up my mind.

"With this C9-class laser gun and spaceship, you can be careful in the Inner Realm and be safe."

"It was I who was meddling."

"So what kind of cooperation are you talking about?"

Wei Wen put away the projected items and grinned—

“Sanfu Mountain follows an elite route and doesn’t recruit many members on a regular basis. It’s likely that it’s not a force to be reckoned with in this realm.”

"Right now, the four of us brothers are the strongest group, aren't we?"

Mingyu nodded in agreement.

Wei Wen continued—

"Even if the main force arrives later, it won't actually be of much help to us."
