41: Speculations and Current Status of the Space Battlefield

“Each of the small spaces, which you should all be familiar with, are essentially planets similar to Blue Star. Among them, the largest, most dangerous, and most war-torn is the Space Battlefield!”

“Teacher, what exactly is the Space Battlefield like?” Chen Qing asked curiously.

Ever since he Transmigrated to this place, he had heard many things about the Space Battlefield, but only its name. He had never heard any specific descriptions.

Song Yusheng’s expression remained unchanged as he continued, “The Space Battlefield is a vast and boundless expanse of space. The ground there is no different from Blue Star, but it is incredibly hard and extremely difficult to destroy. Someone once tried to dig through it to see what the ground was floating on, but after digging to a certain depth, he couldn't dig any further.”

“Did they encounter something like a barrier?”

“Yes! A special solidified barrier that human known forces are completely unable to break!”

“Then what is the sky of the Space Battlefield?”

“The starry sky! An endless starry sky! But unlike our Blue Star’s outer space, there, no matter how you fly, you can’t reach any of the planets within it! It’s as if all the planets in the starry sky are infinitely far away from us!”

Everyone gasped. Standing on the Space Battlefield, could they look up and gaze at the starry sky?

Song Yusheng continued, “Someone once tried to fly high into the sky, but no matter how far they flew, the land beneath their feet still stretched endlessly!”

“That big?”

“It’s even more vast than you can imagine! There are countless light gates and passages on it, leading to various planets. But now, almost every light gate is guarded by powerful individuals from those planets. Our Human Race’s powerful individuals and armies are stationed at these light gates.”

“I heard that our Human Race isn’t considered strong among the myriad worlds. Is that true?” Someone was curious about this.

“That’s right! To be precise, we are not only not strong, but can even be said to be relatively weak! The Human Race has risen for too short a time, only a few hundred years! Compared to those planets that have long been connected to the Space Battlefield, we are not strong. However, Human Race talent is very strong, and in the past century, Blue Star has gradually begun to recover some Spiritual Qi. The Cultivation environment is now much better than it was at the beginning! When the passages first opened, Blue Star’s Spiritual Qi was depleted, and Cultivation almost entirely relied on the Spiritual Qi that diffused in from the various space passages. The conditions back then were incomparable to today!”

“Then how many planets, or rather, races, are connected to Blue Star and the Space Battlefield in the myriad worlds?”

“There are a total of 29 passages that have appeared on Blue Star! Among them, there are 7 each in the Western Hemisphere, Arctic region, and Antarctic region of Blue Star. Only in the Eastern Hemisphere, in addition to the 7 portals to small battlefields, the Space Battlefield is also located there!”

“So, theoretically, there are 7 small battlefields in the east, west, north, and south, but the east has an extra Space Battlefield?” Chen Qing asked.

On the podium, Song Yusheng nodded. He turned and drew a flat map of Blue Star on the blackboard, marking the specific locations of the 29 portals.

Chen Qing carefully observed his drawing and tried to reconstruct the flat map of Blue Star in his mind, forming a three-dimensional image.

In his previous life, Chen Qing was also a keyboard warrior, quite interested in various histories, myths, and legends.

The number 29 didn’t particularly stand out to him, but what if he considered the four directions and excluded the extra Space Battlefield, leaving only 7 portals for each of the four directions?

28, that was a significant number!

Chen Qing’s imagination ran wild. He thought of a crystallization of ancient wisdom!

He looked up and asked, “Teacher Song, could these planets be related to the twenty-eight constellations?”

When ancient people observed celestial phenomena, they summarized two systems. One was centered on the sun’s annual trajectory, which is the ecliptic, dividing it into the twelve zodiac signs.

The other was centered on the moon’s monthly trajectory, dividing it into the twenty-eight constellations!

These were the seven mansions of the Azure Dragon in the east, the seven mansions of the Vermilion Bird in the south, the seven mansions of the White Tiger in the west, and the seven mansions of the Black Tortoise in the north.

And coincidentally, each major constellation was divided into seven minor constellations.

Adding them up, it corresponded exactly to the number 28!

Song Yusheng frowned. “The Federation has indeed considered that possibility, but each minor constellation you mentioned is not composed of a single planet, whereas the portals appearing on Blue Star clearly lead to another planet.”

That’s right.

The twenty-eight constellations are not just twenty-eight planets; basically, each constellation is composed of several different planets, so it doesn't make sense.

Could it be that this world is different from his previous life?

Perhaps only one planet in each constellation has life?

Chen Qing shook his head, feeling he was overthinking it.

Thinking about these things had little meaning. Regardless of how many planets were inside those portals, it had nothing to do with him. Ultimately, he had to deal with the enemies within all the portals.

“Teacher, how powerful are the enemies in these portals?” Li Cunxu was not interested in other things, only in martial Dao.

Song Yusheng heard this and explained, “In the twenty-eight small battlefields, the enemies are not particularly powerful yet. At least, the enemies we have encountered so far are manageable. Some of them are very aggressive, showing clear hostility towards us!

But there are also some who seem to have a similar attitude to ours, mainly focused on defense, and some even have the intention of using us for training.”

“The Space Battlefield, needless to say, is full of powerful races. Of course, there are also many weak races. Our main enemies are several humanoid races. They have coveted us for a long time and were among the first creatures to invade Blue Star.”

“Humanoid?”

“Yes! Some of them look almost exactly like humans. If they were to blend in among us, you might not even be able to tell the difference!

Of course, as time goes on, we have also discovered a strange phenomenon: many races, after reaching a certain Realm, like to transform into human form. They seem to have a special fondness for the human form.”

“However, none of this matters much. In life-and-death battles, they will still revert to their original forms. The human form is not suitable for all races to display their advantages.”

They like to transform into human form?

Is this some special Hobbies or a fashion trend?

“What if they really blend in?”

“They only look very similar; there are still some differences between them and us. Some have horns on their heads, some have tails behind them. In short, they are more like a product of interbreeding between humans and animals.”

Crossbreeds?

Chen Qing suddenly had a question: “Would they call themselves the Human Race?”

“Of course not! In their eyes, we humans are enemies, and they wish they could eliminate us immediately.

Among them, some call themselves the Giant Spirit Race, some call themselves the Primordial Race, and some call themselves the Apocalypse Race.”

“Then why are they hostile to us?”

“Unclear! From the moment we entered the Space Battlefield, they launched attacks against us. It’s as if they are naturally hostile; they want to annihilate us at the drop of a hat. Moreover, even if other races take the opportunity to kill their kin, their primary mission remains to annihilate us.”

What kind of logic is this?

Even if two chickens are fighting, if they encounter an audience, they would first unite to fight the audience.

These races, it feels like their School of thought is all wrong?
