The Era of Gods-Chapter 434 - : Heading to the Outland MK-204 Crystal Wall System

Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Heading to the Outland MK-204 Crystal Wall System

Designated as MK-204, the Crystal Wall System is markedly distant from the Main World, representing the outermost circle of the Main World’s influential reach and also the furthest frontier of the Radiance’s explorations across numerous Crystal Wall Systems.

The reason for constructing an Outpost Base in this Crystal Wall System naturally stems from its sufficient value for tactical conquest.

This is a medium to large Crystal Wall System with its own Crystal Wall Origin Will and Supernatural Powers. According to the information Lin Xiao could access, the Crystal Wall System has been preliminarily confirmed to possess development potential, but its specific value requires further exploration. Thus, the Number One Military District of the Yanhuang No.1 Super War Fortress, under the jurisdiction of the Radiance, has established a sizable Outpost Base here and has dispatched a division to be stationed at this location.

Although it’s not the main force division, the significant military presence here indicates the importance the Number One Military District places on this Crystal Wall System.

After all, according to past patterns, a medium to large Crystal Wall System theoretically has the potential to birth great beings.

Yes, just theoretically.

Theoretically, a medium to large Crystal Wall System can birth great beings, provided sufficient conditions are met.

The military’s establishment of a large Outpost Base and stationing of a division here, led by a brigadier general as the highest military commander, signifies the significance accorded to this Crystal Wall System. Otherwise, the regular troops stationed in a typical Crystal Wall System would only be led by a school-level officer, like those stationed in the AX-14 Crystal Wall System where the Lin Xiao Family resides.

Of course, the military’s current preliminary assessment only suggests the possibility, and it does not guarantee that this Crystal Wall System will indeed give rise to great beings. In fact, the majority of Crystal Wall Systems that were assessed as potentially capable of birthing great divine powers turned out to be incapable of nurturing such existences after thorough exploration.

But whether or not it is possible for great beings to be born, as long as there is a possibility, it merits comprehensive exploration.

Taking the Radiance-exclusive passage, Lin Xiao arrived for the first time at the Yanhuang No.1 Super War Fortress, a Super War Fortress situated in subspace, resembling a sun-like super fireball.

The Yanhuang No.1 War Fortress is the first Super War Fortress ever constructed by humans, belonging to the superpowers headed by the Brilliant Super College. The size of the Fortress is even more colossal than the Yanhuang No.5 Super Fortress, and its strength surpasses the latter.

Over two thousand students from several classes of the entire grade took a journey aboard a Large Void Warship, escorted by five Military Void Battleships through an exclusive military channel. After half a year’s travel in Different Domain terms and crossing countless billions of kilometers of Chaotic Void, they arrived in front of a fireball surface teeming with red flames.

From the outside, this Crystal Wall System appears in the Void as a space-based M-class red giant, its radiant red spectrum visible from a great distance.

This conspicuous Crystal Wall System has no coverings in the Chaotic Void, and prior to a confirmed assessment of enough value, the military has not set up a Super Array to conceal the existence of this Crystal Wall System.

The Void Fleet crossed billions of kilometers of Chaotic Void to reach this Crystal Wall System and docked at an Outpost Base secured atop the Crystal Wall’s outer shell, from where red flames were erupting.

The red flames bursting from the surface of this Crystal Wall System are real flames, which manifest the energy leakage from within the Crystal Wall System. Although the temperature isn’t as high as that of a star, it can easily melt steel, so this Outpost Base fixed on the surface of the Crystal Wall must constantly maintain an energy shield active.

At the same time, the Outpost Base can continuously siphon energy from these flames to power itself, thereby achieving a Balance, which allows for the maintenance of the base’s fundamental operations during non-combat periods with minimal energy consumption.

Such an energy leakage phenomenon in a Crystal Wall System is not common in the Chaotic Void. Typically, the outer Crystal Wall functions to protect the interior of a Crystal Wall System by isolating it from external energies, primarily to conceal and safeguard its existence. However, the energy leakage from this Crystal Wall System is continuous, which under normal circumstances is quite abnormal.

Logically, such constant and uninterrupted energy leakage is only observed in Crystal Wall Systems where the world’s origin is shattered.

Yet, according to the intelligence Lin Xiao currently has access to with his military rank, the preliminary data obtained from the first Military District’s long-term conquest of this Crystal Wall System suggests that the world’s origin does not appear to be fragmented, which is quite strange.

However, this information cannot be taken as definitive, as Lin Xiao belongs to the Fifth Military Region, and this is the domain of the First Military Region. Moreover, he is not yet truly part of the military high command, so not having access to genuine information is normal.

Of course, Lin Xiao isn’t particularly interested in this. Even if he learns the truth, what could he possibly do to interfere?

If he were a high-ranking military official with actual authority over a Rank 3 battle group, perhaps… well, it still wouldn’t suffice. This Outpost Base’s highest commanding officer is a brigadier general leading a division, so his status as a battle group commander isn’t enough.

As the Void Battleship passes through the blazing high-temperature storm, gradually docking at the Outpost Base’s port, Lin Xiao casts aside his distracted thoughts and, accompanied by his girlfriend, assembles with others in the largest compartment of the battleship, heeding the broadcast.

All the elite students, numbering over 2,200, gather here, divided by their different classes, forming a bustling crowd, with occasional flashes of light from various phenomena appearing.

At their level of power, they can generally contain and control their own supernatural phenomena. For example, Lin Xiao no longer has any black holes or Magic Cubes shrinking inward behind his head, appearing no different from an ordinary person.

However, a small number of heirs from powerful families who did not gain admission to the Radiance through their own strength still struggle to seamlessly conceal their auras or can barely manage to do so until their emotions invoke a significant change that causes a leakage.

All homeroom teachers and teaching assistants are present for this joint mega-class, and even several high-ranking officials from the college have made an appearance. In addition, the military garrison of the Outpost Base will cooperate with them, providing a fleet to protect them throughout the entire course.

After all, strictly speaking, the ranking of these students within the entire Radiance System is quite high, arguably even higher than this Outpost Base itself.

As the saying goes, “Children are the future of the nation.” They might face harsh realities upon entering society after university, but while they’re studying, they are treated as precious blossoms of the nation, deserving special protection and attention.

This is similar to Lin Xiao’s memories of the college entrance exam, where on the day of the exam, everything must give way to the examinees. Even if you run a red light and hit someone’s vehicle, the other party would still have to be careful to apologize as the traffic police escort you to the examination venue.

“`

But once the college entrance exam is over, if one fails to get into college and steps into society early, running into someone’s car right after leaving the exam venue still requires the same cautious apology and a police escort, except this time, you’re the one apologizing to the car owner, and the police are taking you to the station.

Just one day’s difference, and the treatment is as different as heaven and earth.

At this moment, a light screen popped up in front of Lin Xiao, displaying the content of this major class that the homeroom teacher had mass-sent.

Looking at the content on the light screen, he felt quite surprised.

The content was simple and could be summarized in two words—drifting.

As the word suggests, they would be placed into the unknown void within the Crystal Wall Universe, yes, into the Void, not a plane. This time they would be directly cast into the chaotic void and would have to drift on their own abilities within the void. Within a set time limit, they had to find a valuable plane.

This mission carried substantial risk, unlike the major class in high school; back then, even if they descended onto a plane, there were teachers looking after them. But this time, being cast into the void, there would be no teachers to watch over, and any accident could result in the fall of the incarnation.

Because of the danger of the task, everyone would Descend in an incarnation. At this moment, the girlfriend Lin Xiao was holding hands with was one of her ordinary Divine Power avatars, not a Divine Position Incarnation.

The second phase of the major class was to find a valuable plane in the void, rely on one’s strength to establish a Spatial Waymarker to contact the Outpost Base located outside the Crystal Wall System, and then one could return.

And the main difficulty of this class was how to survive in the terrifying void, and how to find a valuable plane in the directionless and aimless void. Then, to create a Spatial Waymarker from scratch and make a safe return.

As for the way to determine the grade, naturally, it was based on who could find a plane the fastest, then determining the value of the plane, and finally, the achievements made within the found plane, within the given time frame.

Just finding a plane, versus having established a stable foothold and an influence on that plane, the grading would unquestionably be different.

The task time is thirty years, which equates to one month in the Main World.

“Can we team up?”

Lin Xiao raised his hand and asked.

The surrounding students all looked up; they were interested in this as well.

Jin Sisi looked over and nodded, saying:

“Teaming up is allowed, but grades are calculated separately. If two students Descend together and find a plane together, the joint operation’s scores will be split evenly between them when it comes time to assess the grades.”

Lin Xiao understood; it meant that if two people teamed up and only discovered one plane, they would split the score of that plane, which definitely wouldn’t compare to a student who found a plane on their own.

Of course, if the plane they discovered together was very valuable, then even if their scores were split, it could still be higher than those of students who found an ordinary plane on their own.

So…

Lin Xiao looked towards Shen Yuexin, and she also looked back with a slight smile.

As if their thoughts were connected, he understood.

Just at that moment, he suddenly heard someone nearby let out a light ‘huh’:

“Are there additional rules at the end?”

Lin Xiao swiftly scrolled down the light screen, and indeed there was new content, looking at the title it certainly was an addendum to the rules. Upon reading carefully, his face lit up with joy; these additional rules were very advantageous to him.

According to the normal rules, each student could only Descend in one incarnation and summon no more than a thousand members of their Clan to Descend with them. This could be done using a spatial tool to summon them in advance before Descending, because the strength of the Main World hadn’t completely penetrated this Crystal Wall System, and summoning the Clan in the depths of the Crystal Wall’s void was impossible.

The Summoned Clan members, once they entered the deep space, couldn’t be recalled. They either successfully established a waymarker to return, or they died out there.

Normally, every student could summon the same number of Clan members. However, the additional rules stated that students with official military ranks could receive extra summoning quotas or use other things in place of summoning Clan members, and this advantage would be included in the scoring without being considered cheating.
