31: Chapter 31: Only allowed to dabble, not to delve deeper!

The military hovercar's speed was terrifyingly fast.

It crossed the vast wilderness and reached the Great Xia Alliance's Imperial Capital in less than three hours.

Looking down from an altitude of several thousand meters.

This massive super-city, covering tens of thousands of square kilometers, exuded a shocking sense of oppression, a blend of science fiction and divine power.

Skyscrapers pierced the clouds, and the air was densely packed with hovercars following planned flight paths.

Although Xinghai City could be considered prosperous, compared to the Imperial Capital, it was practically like a village that had just gotten connected to the internet.

The United Front Zone headquarters was located in a fortress on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.

It was heavily guarded, with posts every three steps and sentries every five.

The car landed steadily on the landing pad.

As soon as they got out of the car, a squad of fully armed soldiers surrounded them.

Major Ye took out a special pass and handed it over.

Lin Feng stole a glance and noticed that these rank-and-file soldiers on guard duty were all, without exception, Tier 2 Deities!

It truly deserved to be the supreme military camp; its foundation was indeed solid.

After verifying their identities, the group was led into a massive fortress constructed from special metal.

After passing through winding security checkpoints, they finally met General Yan Xiao in a spacious conference room.

"Report, General! The target has been brought here safely!"

Major Ye brought his heels together and gave a standard military salute.

"Well done, you've worked hard."

General Yan Xiao nodded in satisfaction and waved for everyone to take their seats.

"It seems you have made your decision to join our United Front Zone."

General Yan Xiao leaned back on the sofa with a very easygoing smile. "I was worried for the past two days that you might be snatched away by those wealthy people from the Chamber of Commerce."

"Since General Yan has personally extended the invitation, I must certainly give you this face."

Lin Feng replied with a polite pleasantry, "However, I am indeed a bit curious why the military would go to such great lengths to recruit a high school student like me?"

"The Great Xia Alliance has more than just our United Front Zone; the various factions have been locked in constant open and covert struggle."

Principal Qin acted as the narrator from the side. "As long as we lock the most outstanding prodigies in the entire Alliance into our camp early on, we can ensure future influence for our faction and, incidentally, suppress our competitors."

After hearing this explanation, Lin Feng understood completely.

To put it plainly, it was just grabbing talent and hoarding high-end combat power.

The Imperial Capital United Front Zone was inherently one of the top-tier factions.

It's good to have shade under a big tree; agreeing to this deal was a guaranteed win with no losses.

"Alright, enough small talk."

Lin Feng didn't want to waste time and cut straight to the point.

"General Yan, you previously promised that if I came, you would take me to the Outer Realm Battlefield to see the world?"

There was no point in beating around the bush with these big shots; his mind was now filled only with wanting to see what this legendary dangerous place actually looked like!

"Right! I almost forgot the main business."

General Yan Xiao slapped his forehead. "Let's go, I'll take you to see the real Outer Realm Battlefield."

Following General Yan Xiao, the group entered a hidden elevator and headed straight into the deep underground.

As the elevator doors opened, a massive military fortress was revealed to be hidden underground.

"Greetings, General Yan!"

"Greetings, Chief!"

...

Along the way, staff members in uniforms stopped to salute.

Principal Qin lowered his voice to educate Lin Feng on the side: "General Yan is the commander-in-chief of our Imperial Capital's No. 2 underground base, and concurrently serves as the vice minister of the entire United Front Zone. In the entire Imperial Capital, Tier 7 Deities can be counted on one hand, and he is one of them."

To sum it up in two words: awesome.

Soon, they turned into a control hall filled with screens.

"Xiao Wang, what is the status of the outer air defense network?" General Yan Xiao asked a technician in front of a computer.

"Report, General! Everything is normal today; no alien planes have approached the warning line." Technician Xiao Wang stood up and reported loudly.

"Alright, keep an eye on the radar. I'm taking some people to the positioning room."

General Yan Xiao nodded and led Lin Feng and the others into a quiet secret room.

The secret room contained over a dozen high-tech pods, looking exactly like the simulation pods at school.

"These are called positioning pods."

General Yan Xiao patted the machine's casing. "They are specifically used to set coordinates for your exclusive planes in the endless void."

"You can set coordinates in the void?" Lin Feng was stunned.

This touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

Wasn't the void just like fumbling in the dark, with no edges or boundaries?

"The void indeed has no boundaries, but what if we use our Main World as the origin?"

General Yan Xiao posed a question that made Lin Feng's heart tremble slightly.

Principal Qin continued to explain: "The Main World's laws are indestructible, and even Deities cannot escape them; it's like a colossal mother planet. The exclusive planes that we Deities open up are all like sub-planets attached to it. Void coordinates are calculated using the Main World as a reference frame."

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming; Lin Feng turned it over in his mind and finally understood.

The void was vast and boundless, with countless planes drifting inside.

The Main World was the center of the coordinate axis.

Lin Feng's Chaos Plane was just a small pebble in the vast sea of stars.

"Go in and give it a try." General Yan Xiao pointed to an empty machine.

Lin Feng lay down inside efficiently.

"Ding! Neural connection successful..."

"Ding! Locking onto exclusive plane... Using the Main World as the axis, current void coordinates: [X10210, Y1245]."

X and Y represented the horizontal and vertical coordinates.

The location of the Main World was the absolute center [X0, Y0].

"You can now use your consciousness to pilot your plane and move in the void, but remember, do not crash into the Main World origin."

General Yan Xiao warned sternly, "If you get too close, the Main World's terrifying laws will instantly crush your territory into dust."

After the warning, General Yan Xiao turned to the intercom on the wall and asked, "Xiao Wang, where has the defense line been pushed to now?"

"Report, General, our United Front Zone's air defense network has already advanced to [X89541, Y95712]! It has pushed forward by another eight coordinate points compared to two days ago!" Technician Xiao Wang reported loudly.

"Lin Feng, absolutely do not cross this warning line."

"Outside the defense line are all alien planes that eat people without spitting out the bones; they could pounce and bite at any moment. The positioning pod's protection mechanism cannot cover such a long distance." General Yan Xiao turned back to instruct.

This defense line was a Great Wall of steel, forged by the Great Xia Alliance's high-tier Deities using their own exclusive planes.

As long as one stayed behind the wall, they were absolutely safe.

Before, the Chaos Plane was like a headless fly drifting randomly in the void; now that he had a steering wheel, Lin Feng's mind became active.

"General Yan, can I pilot my plane to the edge of the defense line to take a look?" Lin Feng requested.

Outside the defense line was the true Outer Realm Battlefield.

The risks were high, but the rewards were also great; top-tier materials above Tier 5 were all drifting outside.

"No. The expeditionary force has no mission today; if you go alone, you're just serving yourself up as a meal."

General Yan Xiao refused flatly.

Such a national treasure-level genius must not suffer even the slightest mishap.

"General, I will accompany him on a trip."

Major Ye, who was nearby, volunteered, "With me, a Tier 5 Deity, escorting him, nothing will go wrong."

General Yan Xiao frowned, hesitating slightly.

If possible, he really wanted to take Lin Feng around personally.

But as a Tier 7 powerhouse, his exclusive plane had long been used as part of the city wall; he had to hold his post at all times and couldn't get away.

"Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain; letting him go to gain some experience is also good."

Principal Qin chimed in from the side; just grazing the edge shouldn't be a big problem.

"Fine. Once you detect anything wrong, retreat to the defense line immediately!" General Yan Xiao finally relented.

Major Ye climbed into a positioning pod nearby.

Lin Feng immediately sensed a massive cluster of energy approaching him.

That should be Major Ye's plane.

"Ding! Plane jump in progress!"
