473: No. 079, codename Glow

Just as Lin Feng had guessed.

When two choices were laid before Wang Chen, he unhesitatingly chose to conquer the Small World.

Compared to steadily improving in the fortress, an environment full of wild monsters and demons allowed his strength to increase rapidly.

After all, now that he had contracted four Ancestral Divine Beasts, the experience he needed to level up was already an astronomical figure for a normal Awakener.

Staying in the fortress, even at his current low Rank, it would probably take several months to level up once.

But by conquering the Small World, as long as there were plenty of wild monsters and demons, he could probably reach 5th Rank in a few months.

The matter was settled.

Wang Chen enjoyed a rare holiday.

He spent each day with his parents and also learned in advance about the Small World he was about to go to.

This Small World, numbered 079 in Dragon Country's data, was codenamed "Radiance."

The world's environment was similar to medieval Western Blue Star, though, of course, it was a transcendent version.

It contained Mages who wielded magic power and Knights who used Qi.

The power Ranks ranged from one to nine, corresponding to Blue Star Awakeners.

In this world, because the ninth Rank was the limit and would share a portion of the world's Origin will, those who reached this level were all called Gods.

However, according to the data, due to the outbreak of the Demon Calamity, these native gods were immediately impacted, suffering heavy casualties; most had already fallen, and the remaining ones were either in slumber or had been corrupted by dark forces, turning into chaotic and mad Evil Gods.

Wang Chen's goal in going to this world was to clear out the wild monsters and demons brought by the Demon Calamity, creating a stable environment for the subsequent resource collection team.

Of course, this was not something he could do alone; tens of thousands of Awakeners would work with him.

Soon.

Time flew by like a white steed.

After the lively Spring Festival ended, on the sixth day of the new year.

Wang Chen bid farewell to his parents and met with the personnel who came to pick him up for the 79th World.

...

...

"The entrance to the 79th World isn't in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield?"

In the car, noticing that the driving route was different from what he had expected, Wang Chen turned to look at a middle-aged man beside him.

This man was named Li Yujiu, a Seven-Turn Warrior, who would accompany him to the 79th World and serve as his Commander during his stay, moving with him. His primary responsibility was to manage the soldiers he would soon take charge of.

Yes.

Wang Chen was not acting alone this time; after entering the 79th Small World, according to wartime regulations, he was temporarily given the Rank of commander, and would have a thousand "subordinates" under him.

He would get to experience the feeling of being surrounded and attended to.

"That's right."

Li Yujiu nodded:

"Such newly discovered worlds are extremely important resource collection sites for us. Once their coordinates are confirmed, space warp gates are established within our homeland."

As he spoke, he subtly observed the young officer before him.

Wang Chen's reputation had resounded throughout Blue Star recently; at the age of eighteen, he had won the title of the Global Prodigy, thrilling countless Dragon Country people.

Li Yujiu saw the Immortal Master for the first time today, and to be honest, he was somewhat disappointed.

Over the years, he had seen numerous Geniuses; some were sharp and assertive, some were unruly, and others were as deep as the sea...

But the Wang Chen before him had a gentle, jade-like demeanor, showing no hint of sharpness, almost like a handsome boy next door.

This made it difficult for Li Yujiu to equate the young man before him with the Prodigy who had used decisive methods in the Global Prodigy Competition.

"Such a personality might not fare well in the military."

Of course, Li Yujiu hid these small thoughts very well, not revealing the slightest bit.

"Then now that the 79th World has been discovered by both our Dragon Country and Sakura Country, how will the final ownership be allocated?"

"Are we just going to do our own thing, each taking what we need?"

After listening to Li Yujiu's introduction, Wang Chen thought for a moment and asked curiously.

Actually, when he was reviewing the 79th World's data, he had already had this doubt.

The resources of an entire world, even if it was only a medium-sized world, definitely had a value that could not be measured by money.

Wang Chen did not think anyone would be willing to share such a large piece of fatty meat.

Moreover...

Especially with guys like Sakura Country!

"Of course not."

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Li Yujiu straightened up slightly, his expression becoming serious:

"Blue Star's current peace treaties cannot restrain the actions of various countries in other worlds."

"We are currently exercising restraint with Sakura Country only because the Demon Calamity in the 79th World has not been completely resolved."

"I see!"

Although Li Yujiu did not spell it out, Wang Chen naturally understood his unspoken meaning.

Once the threat of the Demon Calamity was resolved, the next step would naturally be to resolve the issue of ownership.

"Otherworld war?"

"It seems my dream from my previous life now has a chance to come true."

For a moment, excitement welled up in Wang Chen's heart.

But he quickly suppressed this excitement.

Although he looked forward to it, he also knew in his heart that small-scale conflicts might occur, but truly fighting an all-out war in another world was clearly impossible.

Ultimately, other methods would certainly be used to resolve the issue of ownership.

However...

This did not stop Wang Chen from causing trouble for those guys who were having a good time!

"Commander Li, are you alright?"

At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly noticed that Li Yujiu's face was a little pale.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Li Yujiu shook his head, looking at Wang Chen with some fear in his eyes.

He had just briefly mentioned the cruelty of otherworld competition, thinking it would scare Wang Chen.

But he didn't expect that he himself would be the one scared.

When Wang Chen was just thinking, a terrifying aura, like that of an abyssal giant beast, emanated from him.

Although it quickly receded, for that instant, Li Yujiu felt as if he saw a vast sea of blood and heard the tragic wails of countless wild monsters.

"How many wild monsters has this Wang Chen slaughtered?"

"Truly terrifying!"

Seeing that Wang Chen did not press further and turned to look out the window again, Li Yujiu secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He felt that the next period of time would probably be very exciting for him.

Half an hour later.

The car arrived outside a heavily guarded base.

As soon as he got out of the car, Wang Chen sensed several terrifying auras within the base, each comparable to Marshal Yang's.

"Damn!"

"So many Wang-level experts stationed here?"

"It seems the importance placed on other worlds is even higher than I imagined!"

Muttering to himself, Wang Chen and Li Yujiu went through a series of inspections and were allowed to enter the base.

Soon.

Under the guidance of a soldier, the two arrived before the cross-world teleportation gate leading to the 79th World.
