This massive metallic platform is a Void Base operated by the military, resembling an interstellar space station from the space age, with a diameter of about fifty kilometers and a correspondingly colossal volume. At this moment, around the edges of this vast space station, numerous small flying vehicles can be seen coming and going.

Every time the Main World conquers a group of planes, a substantial Void Base is established as an Outpost Base there, generally varying in scale and importance.

Lin Xiao knew that these Void Bases are typically categorized into five levels, with First Level being the lowest and Fifth Level the highest. The Void Base they were currently at was a Level 2 Void Base.

But above this Level 5, there are even higher levels of Void Bases, for specific reference, one can consider the Van Huang No. 5 Super War Fortress.

A small portion of these small flying vehicles belong to the base’s garrison forces, but many more are owned by civilian groups such as family teams from the Main World, private adventure teams, private company expedition teams, and so forth. They enter from the Main World into the various Super War Fortresses and from there transfer to military bases within the Crystal Walls of other domains, then proceed to explore the planes within those Crystal Walls.

Of course, not many have the capability to venture deep into the Void for exploration. The vast majority of civilian groups conduct their explorations near the large military bases, such as this one; most are exploring in the vicinity of this Broken Plane Group, searching for treasures and resources left behind on some shattered planes.

The Void Ship is moored at the edge of the Outpost Base, but this is just a temporary stop, as it will soon continue transporting them to the destination plane of their mission.

In the meantime, they could buy information about the mission plane here, or purchase various resources to replenish their supplies.

It is well-known that with so many civilian teams adventuring at each military base, they often collect a large amount of resources and do not bother taking them all the way back to the Main World. The majority of resources are disposed of within the military base itself, either sold to other adventurers in need or directly sold to the military forces of the base, with many good items among them.

There is also a local trading network here, with a signal range that centers on the base and extends a certain distance outwards. The higher the level of the Void Base, the larger the signal coverage area; this Level 2 Void Base is estimated to cover the vicinity of several dozen fragmented planes.

After discussing with Shen Yuexin, Lin Xiao decided to purchase through military channels a map of several major fragments of nearby planes, with a particular emphasis on purchasing information about the fragmented plane where their mission was located, including intelligence about the Human Kingdom and the Vampire Kingdom.

Then, Wu Zhonglin gathered them once again for a meeting.

Half an hour later, the two of them returned and projected the virtual map in front of the whole team. Lin Xiao circled two areas on the map and said,

“Yue Xin and I have been assigned to this region; Wu Zhonglin has put us in charge of this larger area.”

His gaze swept over the team and finally rested on Ancient City as he continued,

“My thinking is to have you, along with Su Tong, Yu Xinze, and Yan Shu Huan,

take charge of this side.”

He then pointed to another circled area:

“Yue Xin, Lin Xu and I will take care of the other side. How’s that?”

Ancient City looked up at him but didn’t say anything, it was Su Tong beside him who answered,

“Sure, we can each take care of one side.”

“If no one has any objections, then it’s settled.”

Lin Xiao wasn’t interested in playing power games; he simply fulfilled Ancient City’s wish by splitting the team, allowing everyone to go about their own business.

His silence naturally meant consent.

At this point, Wu Zhonglin sent everyone a piece of information, a large map that had the side belonging to the Vampire Kingdom divided into five differently sized large areas. Each area had at least two icons like Lin Xiao and Shen Yuexin, while some groups, like Wu Zhonglin’s own, had up to four images, representing all thirteen of them.

“I have divided the Vampire Kingdom into five regions. Zhang Guan, Gao Yongsheng, and student Jiang Xinyi and I will take responsibility for the central region, which is the largest. The other team leaders will each be responsible for their own areas. Everyone else may group together or form teams as they wish, freely choosing their areas of conquest. Each area lead will handle any issues or matters that arise.”

“Not bad at all.”

This division worked quite well for the Summer Camp, providing enough freedom for everyone.

What followed were the internal arrangements within the small teams. Shen Yuexin shared with the team the detailed maps and intelligence of their designated area that she had recently purchased, so that she along with Lin Xu could make a copy first, and then she said,

“We’ve got a bit of time to prepare, so we might as well check out the trading platform.”

Lin Xiao scratched his head and chose to enter the Divine Realm.

He had planned to strike while the iron was hot and strike up a conversation with the beauty. However, he had just sensed a slight change in the Divine Realm that he needed to check out.

Back in the Divine Realm, his first act was to gather the information that had accumulated over time. After a moment, he opened his eyes and pinched his chin, slightly surprised.

First, after using up the remaining eighty million-plus extra Faith value borrowed from Shen Yuexin, another eleven Transcendent Level Supreme Naga Whale Knights were born through the Ancient Arena. Together with the original seventeen, he now had a total of twenty-eight Transcendent Level members in his Clan.

With the foundation of Fifth Level troops and the versatile Fifth Level knight profession accumulated beforehand, the Supreme Nagas had already reached the Fifth Level limit. Coupled with the combat experience accumulated from the previous invasion by the Blood Counts, the eleven whale-hunting knights had finally broken through their limits and ascended to the Transcendent level after long training in the ancient arena.

And this is just the beginning. Right now in the Divine Realm, there are a large number of Fifth Level Supreme Nagas. As long as they accumulate enough combat experience and sufficient power of faith to open the ancient arena, I believe many more Transcendent members of the Clan will ascend in succession.

With high-level races and the miracle building of the ancient arena, as long as there is enough power of faith, he could create Transcendent troops in small batches.

It’s just that the consumption of the power of faith is a bit rapid-nearly three hundred million faith value was exhausted just to create twenty-eight Transcendent troops, costing about one million faith value for each one.

However, when you think about it, one million power of faith for one Transcendent member of the Clan is still quite a good deal.

Moreover, with over nine hundred Supreme Nagas now at Level 5, there is no need to start from scratch. The subsequent consumption will be less and less. Besides, the second major change in the Divine Realm during this time is the birth of an Elemental Sprite, a Water Elemental Sprite.

Elemental Sprites are not actually elves, unrelated to the Elf race, nor are they pure elements, which are a different story from Water Elements. They are beings born naturally from a certain Element and are Transcendent creatures by nature, mastering any water series magic from birth, extremely powerful.

This Water Elemental Sprite was born in the ocean, the spirit of the sea, the daughter of the ocean.

Lin Xiao, overseeing the Divine Realm from his God Country, spotted at a glance a little sprite playing with a huge turtle deep in the coral forest where water elements converged.

She was palm-sized, crystal clear throughout, surrounded by tiny blue elemental glows, resembling a young girl, very similar to a Flower Fairy. f𝐫e𝚎𝘄eb𝚗o𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝚘m

She was extremely lively and agile, zipping through the waters with ease, her favorite thing to do was to crawl around on the back of a giant turtle, its shell two meters square bearing small mountain-like protrusions. The surrounding corals and sea grasses nodded at her frequently, and colorful fish occasionally swam by her side.

Even when ferocious carnivorous fish passed by, they indulgently let her sit on their backs and ride them everywhere.

“Truly a spirit of heaven and earth!”

Lin Xiao couldn’t help but praise. With a thought, his True Body appeared in the ocean, and an invisible wave spread out. The little sprite playing joyously looked over, tilting her head in confusion. After a while, her delicate little face showed a joyful expression and she swam over to him, circling playfully.

He stretched out his hand, and the little one fell into his palm, looking up at him curiously. A confused thought entered his mind:

“Are you my father?”

“No, I am your brother.”

Calling him father felt odd.

The little one didn’t dwell on this and sweetly called him brother, stretching out her tiny crystalline hand to pat her mouth and yawn. She then curled up trustingly in his palm, her touch giving a chill that reached deep into his heart.

“So cute!”

The newly born little sprite couldn’t yet speak. For now, she couldn’t leave the Divine Realm, and in the future, it was also impossible for a second Water Elemental Sprite to be born in the Divine Realm.

As a congenital being born alongside the Divine Realm, her strength would grow continuously as the Divine Realm expanded. If Lin Xiao should achieve Divine Enthronement in the future and the Divine Realm grew to a certain extent, and if he established a Divine System, as one of the natural-born Elemental Sprites of the Divine Realm, she would naturally obtain the Godhood of the four elements and become one of the four Guardian Gods of the Elements of the Divine Realm.

Of course, that was a matter for the distant future. For now, she could only be the adorable charmer.

Using Divine Power, he formed a water bubble to gently encase the sleeping cutie and sent her back to the turtle. He glanced at the turtle out of the corner of his eye. His gaze scanned the coral-like protrusions on its shell and the slightly fierce-looking dragon head, and after pondering briefly without any recognition.

With a thought, he traced the little one’s life through the authority of the Divine Realm Master and quickly discovered that she came from the massive turtle shell they had obtained during the final exam. After being integrated into the Divine Domain Heaven Card, a little turtle was naturally born, which now seemed to be a rare Dragon Turtle.

In a few decades, she had only grown this much. Judging by the growth stages of dragon turtles, she was still in her infancy, centuries from reaching adulthood.

Fortunately, a day in the Main World equates to a year in the Divine Realm, so after a semester, she would be of age, by then, a legendary Sea Beast. Furthermore, with a turtle’s extraordinarily long lifespan and dragon blood within, she would become stronger as time passed, and it wasn’t impossible for her to grow into an ancient Dragon Turtle comparable to a Demigod or even a True God.

Lin Xiao didn’t stay long in the Divine Realm and left soon after. He had already left the Subspace of the Main World and entered a Different Domain. The flow of time outside was now aligned with that within the Divine Realm, so it was impossible for him to stay inside for a year or two.

When he emerged, just as the Void Ship was detaching from the Void Base and heading towards one of the larger Piecemeal Planes, several small ships from civil organizations left the base behind the Void Ship, presumably thinking the military had some action planned, looking to hang around and skim off some leftovers.

This situation was common. Normally, the military wouldn’t stop them but would welcome them instead, as they could be given specific missions, such as clearing out small pockets of resistance in occupied areas.
