311: Unspoken rules

Lin Ye found the God Race.

There were 37 individuals among the God Race who possessed the ability to absorb a Level 5 black hole.

Each of them was a top-tier expert of the God Race, protecting their respective territories.

What Lin Ye wanted was to unite some of these individuals to attack the War God Clan's positions, whose defenses had weakened.

He didn't need to find many; one or two families would be enough.

He was very targeted when searching for his objectives, specifically looking for those who had a deep-seated hatred for the War God Clan.

"Reid, whose younger brother was killed by the War God Clan, has an irreconcilable feud with them." Lin Ye found his target.

Reid stood out among all the targets; his brother's murder had created an unresolvable enmity, and to exact revenge, he had spilled a lot of the War God Clan's blood.

Unfortunately, the instigator was too powerful for Reid to handle.

Lin Ye contacted Reid via the network.

Lin Ye: Reid, want to do something big? Attack the War God Clan's camp.

Reid: ??? You're that little thief?

Lin Ye: I'm not called a little thief; my name is Lin Ye.

Reid: I acknowledge your strength, but it's not the right time yet.

Lin Ye: Why?

Reid: I've looked up your information. It's understandable since you're not a core member. In the Star River Hunting Ground, everyone is very restrained for the first thousand or so years.

Lin Ye: ???

Reid: Because the Star River Hunting Ground is too vast, and black holes emerge endlessly. Eliminating those people prematurely would only waste a laborer who can absorb black holes. To perfectly utilize black hole resources, everyone is very restrained in the early stages. Only by waiting until most of the absorption is done, and then initiating War, can the benefits be maximized.

Lin Ye: Thank you.

Reid: You're welcome. Kill a few more of the War God Clan.

Lin Ye suddenly realized; so that was the reason! No wonder he had always found it strange that there were so many people here, yet the frequency of combat was not high.

Now it seemed, weren't those small fries like a bunch of treasure-hunting mice? They scoured for precious treasures, and once they found something good, they could instantly become rich, and then snatch resources through mutual slaughter.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye also dispelled the idea of starting a War. After all, the returns from doing so were simply too low. "Alright, then I'll just search slowly," Lin Ye reluctantly accepted reality.

As he quieted down, everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That kid finally settled down."

"He's so annoying; it's not the thief stealing that's scary, but the thief coveting."

"What's so good about it? Although he hasn't targeted the places where you big shots gather, he's started to fleece us individual cultivators."

Indeed, while Lin Ye was searching for black holes, he didn't forget to fleece those individual cultivators. However, this time he was still more principled. To maintain an advantage in subsequent battles, he decided not to fleece his own people, but instead focused his targets on the War God Clan.

The individual cultivators of the War God Clan were made miserable by him, and their collection and absorption efficiency greatly decreased.

The strong individuals of the War God Clan were furious but helpless.

Fortunately, Lin Ye still lacked the ability to kill an entire group of people.

After all, most of these Level 4 black hole holders also gathered together.

Otherwise, it might not be as simple as losing a black hole; people might also be completely finished.

For a single individual to achieve such an effect, the God Race acknowledged Lin Ye as the strongest.

Only Lin Ye could accomplish such a feat.

The ability to instantly absorb black holes was undoubtedly a very powerful ability.

Especially in this Star River Hunting Ground, it was an even more forbidden technique.

People with strength like Lin Ye, without the means to collect black holes, would find it difficult to acquire a black hole even if they defeated its owner.

Black holes could be transported; otherwise, those Level 4 black holes wouldn't be able to gather with Level 5 black holes. However, transportation was slow. As soon as you defeated someone, they would immediately seek revenge from their leader.

After knowing that Lin Ye was on the God Race's side, information from the God Race's camp was fully opened to him, just so he could influence the War God Clan more.

This information included not only the location of black holes but also the strength of their holders, the strength of those nearby, and their relationships.

With this incredibly detailed intelligence, Lin Ye's hunting efficiency became extremely high, so high that the War God Clan was completely helpless!

In the Little War God group of the War God Clan, the twelve Little War Gods who had come to the Star River Hunting Ground gathered. As the strongest among this batch of the War God Clan, they subtly possessed the ability to control the fate of the entire race.

"What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? We're just going to have to deal with it..."

"You've already suffered heavy losses yourself, so stop thinking those crooked thoughts!"

"But that Lin Ye is truly detestable!"

"You should give up early. It's better for everyone to disperse now. After all, no matter how good he is at stealing, how much can he steal?"

"Yes, yes, after all, there are tens of thousands of us here, so just let him steal..."

They reached their final conclusion.

It must be said that the Star River Hunting Ground was simply too vast and boundless, and the time Lin Ye spent just on traveling was already considerable each time.

Moreover, for these peak-level powerhouses, the interests of those below had nothing to do with them. They were neither friends nor superiors/subordinates to these people, so naturally, they had no need to consider their interests. In fact, if not for the concern that their own side's strength might be weakened, potentially affecting subsequent Wars, they wouldn't even be willing to participate in such discussions.

Now, it was a helpless situation; they could only let Lin Ye run rampant on the battlefield, forming an unwritten rule.

The lower-ranking individuals within the War God Clan also gradually formed an unspoken understanding.

What to do when Lin Ye came? Don't be afraid, just hand over the black hole to him. Preserving one's life was key; afterward, they could just go find other black holes.

What? All of your black holes have been stolen? No matter, as long as your life remains, you can continue to search.

If it really came down to it, a Level 3 black hole wasn't entirely unacceptable either.

That guy disdained even Level 3 black holes.

Level 4 black holes were as common as ox hair, let alone Level 3. If you wanted to, you wouldn't finish absorbing Level 3 black holes until the end.

The black holes in the Star River Hunting Ground were constantly growing. Each time they grew to a certain extent, the God Race would open the Star River Hunting Ground.

Lin Ye was also delighted by their actions; this unspoken rule was too beneficial for him.

In the past, when he stole, people would resist, and if he encountered skilled detectors, a fierce battle would be unavoidable.

Now, they had learned to give up resistance.

Life was like r*pe; since you couldn't resist, you might as well enjoy it.
