“God-King Legacy?”

“Brother, are you crazy? That’s not something we can ever hope to touch.”

“However, I once heard a rumor, a rumor about Slaughter God-King.”

“It is said that Slaughter God-King established unparalleled merits in the Alien Battlefield, successfully exchanged for a God-King Legacy, and thus became the first Cosmic Beast to successfully advance to God-King in billions of years.”

Facing Lin Tianwei’s inquiry, Dawei appeared extremely agitated; he thought Lin Tianwei was clearly insane, starting to inquire about news of a God-King Legacy.

However, he still provided a piece of gossip.

Although this rumor was highly likely to be false, it didn't mean that merits from the Alien Battlefield couldn't be exchanged for a God-King Legacy.

This was a redemption list facing the entire Origin Universe; even a God-King couldn't risk universal condemnation by spreading such a monumental lie.

What’s more, a God-King Legacy doesn't equate to a God-King; its actual value isn't as great as one might imagine.

Even a Cosmic Beast with poor comprehension, if they obtained a God-King Legacy, might not even understand its contents.

Therefore, the God-Kings of the Origin Universe had no need to falsify anything regarding this matter.

In fact, the story of Slaughter God-King might even be a rumor they actively released, precisely to inspire countless Cosmic Beasts to shed their blood on the Alien Battlefield.

Although Lin Tianwei had already barely glimpsed a clue to advancing to God-King from the Star Devouring Behemoth’s repeated attempts on him,

if he could obtain a complete God-King Legacy, it would undoubtedly be immensely beneficial.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei’s heart grew even more eager; he couldn’t wait to join the Alien Battlefield, to slaughter aliens, and earn enough merit points to exchange for a God-King Legacy.

However, before leaving the Novice Village, Lin Tianwei still had one thing to do, and that was to properly thank Dawei.

Repaying kindness with kindness, and vengeance with vengeance, this had always been Lin Tianwei's creed.

Since the other party so eagerly desired a World Lord Legacy, Lin Tianwei would satisfy him.

To prevent the legacy he provided from being unsuitable for Dawei’s cultivation, Lin Tianwei even planned to gift Dawei a hundred World Lord Legacies at once.

When strength reaches a certain level, and comprehension of laws reaches a certain degree, the World Lord Legacies revered by countless Cosmic Beasts are nothing more than trifles that Lin Tianwei can mass-produce.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei directly handed over a Legacy Stone and said:

“Thank you for enlightening me, but I have more important things to do and may not be able to continue with you.”

“This Legacy Stone was something I obtained by chance; it contains some interesting little things. I hope you like them.”

Without waiting for Dawei to refuse, Lin Tianwei left the Legacy Stone and quickly disappeared from the Novice Village.

The challenging Alien Battlefield outside was the true battleground suitable for him to strive for!

Looking at the Legacy Stone quietly suspended in the air, Dawei was immediately stunned.

He didn't understand why a pleasant conversation suddenly died.

Just a moment ago, he was chatting happily with Lin Tianwei, and the next moment Lin Tianwei had already spoken of parting ways, which was truly baffling to a beast.

As for the Legacy Stone Lin Tianwei left behind, Dawei completely disregarded it.

If this Legacy Stone truly contained something extraordinary, Lin Tianwei wouldn't have given it away so casually,

after all, he had only given Lin Tianwei a dark crystal.

Although somewhat valuable, it couldn't even compare to a powerful Cosmic Level Legacy.

Sighing softly, Dawei secretly thought that young beasts were truly ambitious.

Perhaps his words had been a bit too much, otherwise Lin Tianwei wouldn't have been misled by the beautiful future he depicted and embarked on a perilous path.

Although the outside world was full of opportunities, it was also full of dangers.

A Cosmic Beast that was not truly powerful, entering the Alien Battlefield casually, would simply be courting death.

Although he wasn't particularly concerned about this Legacy Stone, it was, after all, a gift from Lin Tianwei.

After a moment of hesitation, Dawei finally chose to accept it.

As Dawei’s Mental Power probed, the hundred World Lord Legacies recorded in the Legacy Stone were instantly activated, pouring madly into his consciousness along with his Mental Power.

Crack, that was the sound of the Legacy Stone shattering.

After imparting the legacy to Dawei, it had completely fulfilled its mission.

However, Dawei, who had just received the legacy, seemed to be forcibly controlled, still maintaining the posture of probing the Legacy Stone with his Mental Power, without any change.

How could Dawei's actions possibly change?

His consciousness was completely immersed in the ocean of World Lord Legacies, greedily absorbing the knowledge within, with no time to attend to anything else.

It was as if he was desperate, fearing that if he didn't absorb these World Lord Legacies quickly, they would simply dissipate into the wind.

It was no wonder Dawei was so eager.

Stuck at the peak of the Cosmic Level for countless years, his dream was to obtain a World Lord Legacy, for which he even willingly entered the perilous Alien Battlefield.

Yet, he never expected that by merely casually helping a very, very new beast, he would receive a full hundred World Lord Level Legacies.

This was something that could truly shatter Dawei's worldview.

With these hundred World Lord Legacies before him, as long as Dawei wasn't too foolish and could identify and address his own shortcomings, he would inevitably be able to successfully advance.

Thinking this, Dawei's body couldn't stop trembling.

So many years of dreams had come true in such a simple way, making him even wonder if he was still dreaming.

After a long while, Dawei finally recovered from the shock brought by the hundred World Lord Legacies.

Looking in the direction Lin Tianwei had left, Dawei murmured, “What kind of fortune have I stumbled upon!”

At the same time, he felt a bit of despair; if he hadn't stopped then and chosen to accept this Legacy Stone,

would he have had the chance to cling to the greatest support he had ever encountered in his life?

Not to mention a World Lord, even an Immortal would have been within reach.

The moment this thought emerged, Dawei seemed to awaken, and he slapped himself hard.

Greed only leads to destruction.

If he dared to overstep, destruction would be imminent.

To obtain a hundred World Lord Legacies was already a tremendous fortune for him; he should not, and could not, ask for more... While Dawei was in shock, Lin Tianwei easily left the Novice Village.

Or rather, the Alien Battlefield had never set up defenses against the Novice Village.

Having lost the protection of the Novice Village, Lin Tianwei immediately felt the change in the rules.

The rules of the entire space became chaotic and disorderly, much like the Chaotic Domain he had encountered in the Law Arena.

However, for other Cosmic Beasts, these extremely chaotic and disorderly laws were as docile as house cats in Lin Tianwei's eyes, unable to stir up even a ripple.

With a flash of silver light, Lin Tianwei actually used Instantaneous Movement directly in the Alien Battlefield, instantly teleporting countless meters away.

The vicinity of the Novice Village was the main base of the Origin Universe; it was impossible to gain much here.

To kill sufficiently powerful enemies and earn enough merit points, Lin Tianwei had to venture into more distant areas.

And indeed, as Lin Tianwei expected, as he delved deeper, the aliens he encountered became more numerous and stronger.

Calling them aliens, in reality, these aliens were not much different from the Cosmic Beasts living in the Origin Universe; they just looked more ferocious and had a more aggressive demeanor.

And there were also some special races, such as the Mech Clan.

Lin Tianwei even discovered that these aliens also cultivated the Star Refining Art, which made things a bit strange.

Two completely opposing universes cultivating the same cultivation method; anyone would find this matter incredibly bizarre.

Yet, such a bizarre thing was truly happening in the two great universes, and it even became a tacitly accepted unwritten rule.

Perhaps an invisible pair of hands was weaving a giant web of conspiracy behind the two great universes.

However, this was not Lin Tianwei's concern, because he had already discovered a few suitable prey for his hunt.

He just didn't know how many merit points these World Lord Level aliens could provide Lin Tianwei.

With a flash of his figure, Lin Tianwei instantly appeared before three alien Cosmic Beasts.

They only had time to see a flash of golden light before their life force completely vanished.

In the face of such a huge disparity in strength, these alien Cosmic Beasts didn't even have a chance to struggle before their heads were separated from their bodies.

Dawei probably never imagined that the World Lord Level realm he had dreamed of would be unable to withstand even a casual swipe of Lin Tianwei's claw.

The Alien Battlefield seemed to have some unique rules; without tedious input, Lin Tianwei had already received a notification that merit points had been credited.

Merit points + 42635!

The death of one World Lord Level alien Cosmic Beast could provide Lin Tianwei with ten thousand merit points.

Considering that merit points could be exchanged for dark crystals at a one-to-one ratio, the reward of merit points could only be considered barely acceptable.

Compared to the resources expended to cultivate a World Lord Level powerhouse, it was clearly a drop in the bucket.

However, this was a battlefield, the most terrifying Alien Battlefield in the two great universes, where beast lives were the cheapest; obtaining this amount of merit points was within Lin Tianwei's expectations.

But this was not what Lin Tianwei cared about most; what he cared about most was how many valuable items he could exchange with the merit points he had just harvested.

Along with the acquisition of merit points, the Merit Exchange Mall officially opened to Lin Tianwei.

Skipping some recommended common items, Lin Tianwei directly selected 'Legacy' as the exchange category.

One random World Lord Legacy, price: 100,000 merit points.

One random Domain Lord Legacy, price: 1,000,000 merit points...

One random God-King Legacy, price: one trillion merit points.

Lin Tianwei finally found a place with even more outrageous pricing than the Law Arena created by Heavensea God-King.

12 zeros after a 1 would make any beast's scalp tingle, no matter where they saw it.

Then looking at the more than forty thousand merit points Lin Tianwei had just obtained, he instantly felt that these merit points were no longer appealing.

Perhaps there were other faster and more convenient ways to earn merit points, otherwise, just by killing these small fry, it would take an eternity to get a trillion merit points.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei checked the conscription token again, and sure enough, he found some functions he hadn't noticed before.

Most of these functions were irrelevant to Lin Tianwei, with only one 'Mission Hall' attracting his attention.

The Mission Hall, as the name suggests, was a hall for posting missions.

From missions with single-digit merit points to missions with double-digit merit points, everything was available, and the difficulty also doubled accordingly.

It was precisely to complete these richly rewarded missions that there was a concept of legions in the Alien Battlefield.

The purpose was to gather Cosmic Beasts whose strength was originally insufficient and, through numerical superiority, complete some missions that would otherwise be impossible.

Although the increased number of Cosmic Beasts sharing mission rewards would lead to a situation where there were too many monks and too little porridge,

considering safety, many Cosmic Beasts still chose to join legions and complete missions in a legion format.

Without checking the extremely low-reward missions, Lin Tianwei directly scrolled the mission list to the very top, looking at the most richly rewarded missions.

Mission Name: Conquer Territory.

Mission Objective: Capture Alien Novice Village No. 126578.

Mission Time Limit: No time limit.

Mission Reward: 100,000,000 merit points.

Mission Coordinates: 13265, 26548...

Mission Name: Decapitation Operation.

Mission Objective: Kill Alien powerhouse Venerable Ganxing (Strength: Venerable Stage Six).

Mission Time Limit: No time limit.

Mission Reward: 30,000,000 merit points.

Mission Info: According to rumors, Venerable Ganxing was recently seen near Novice Village No. 36542...

Mission Name: Gather Intelligence.

Mission Objective: Gather intelligence about the aliens.

Mission Time Limit: No time limit.

Mission Reward: Determined based on intelligence value...

After a simple review, Lin Tianwei quickly identified the three types of missions most suitable for him.

Whether it was 'Conquer Territory' or 'Decapitation Operation,' both were the best choices for a lone wolf like Lin Tianwei.

As for the 'Gather Intelligence' mission?

This was a mission almost all Cosmic Beasts would take, because even without strength, luck could still lead to some extremely important intelligence.

And such intelligence was often very valuable.

Like the Origin Universe, the Chaos Universe also established many Novice Villages, the purpose of which was to protect those Cosmic Beasts who had not yet adapted to the environment of the Alien Battlefield.

If they were all directly thrown into the Alien Battlefield, as Dawei said, at least two-thirds of the Cosmic Beasts would die because they couldn't adapt to the rules of the Alien Battlefield.

It was precisely because of the importance of Novice Villages that capturing enemy Novice Villages was an extremely easy mission to gain merit.

However, generous rewards also meant extremely high mission difficulty.

Given the importance of Novice Villages, the aliens also guarded them with extreme care; they generally hired powerful legions long-term to be responsible for the safety of the Novice Villages.

Coupled with the fact that Novice Villages themselves were constantly bringing in fresh forces,

destroying a Novice Village, a seemingly simple task, was actually not easy.

Although he knew the difficulty of the mission, Lin Tianwei didn't care.

He didn't come to the Alien Battlefield to idle away his time; the more challenging a mission was, the more he was willing to do it.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei’s gaze turned to the distance.

According to the conscription token’s guidance, that was the direction of Alien Novice Village No. 126578. (End of Chapter)
