488: Finally I waited for you

Score Farming Alliance?

A Parasite Alliance is more like it.

Lin Tianwei, with his excellent comprehension, naturally understood Batro’s meaning in an instant.

He just hadn’t expected such a dirty scheme to exist between the two seemingly irreconcilable great universes.

Furthermore, those who joined the Parasite Alliance were often powerful individuals.

Perhaps this was why the great war had dragged on for countless years without conclusion.

Powerful Cosmic Beasts didn't focus on destroying the enemy; instead, they sought to profit through the Alien Battlefield, and they even ostracized and plotted against Cosmic Beasts who refused to collude with them.

This battle, even if it continued for countless more years, would never truly end.

It was only because Lin Tianwei was new here, and had never revealed his strength, that he hadn't encountered such matters.

Just as Lin Tianwei was scoffing at such parasitic behavior, he heard Batro's self-congratulatory words, saying:

"It’s not easy to join the Score Farming Alliance; you need an intermediary to introduce you."

"As long as senior is willing to spare me, I can introduce senior to the Score Farming Alliance without any commission."

"At that time, senior will find acquiring merit points as simple as drinking water or eating food."

While his words were full of flattery, Batro's heart was filled with immense anger.

If it weren't for encountering Lin Tianwei, this greenhorn, under the rules of the Score Farming Alliance, how could he have faced such a crisis that could lead to his demise?

The Score Farming Alliance covered almost all powerful Cosmic Beasts in both great universes and was extremely proficient in intelligence.

Even if there were occasional Cosmic Beasts unwilling to join, their whereabouts would be exposed due to leaked intelligence, posing no threat to the Score Farming Alliance.

It was precisely because of this that Batro had assumed Lin Tianwei was merely a not-so-powerful Cosmic Beast, and had charged over recklessly.

He had originally thought he could defend the Novice Village and show off, but he hadn't expected to end up inside Lin Tianwei's stomach.

Thinking of this, a fierce glint flashed in Batro's eyes.

Don't let him escape; otherwise, he would definitely teach this Cosmic Beast a good lesson.

After all, score farming carried risks, and it was quite normal for some not-so-powerful Cosmic Beasts to accidentally lose their lives while farming.

Facing Batro's invitation, Lin Tianwei's heart was calm as he asked:

"Are the actions within the Score Farming Alliance not stopped by any Cosmic Beasts?"

"Are even the Divine Kings colluding with you?"

Facing Lin Tianwei's question, Batro found it highly amusing and said:

"Everyone is a beneficiary, so why would they stop it?"

"But it's not like there haven't been some ungrateful Cosmic Beasts who tried to stop the Score Farming Alliance, it's just that their fates were generally extremely tragic."

"To fight against the tide, how utterly foolish!"

"As for the Divine Kings?"

"They only need to remain high above, while we, the Score Farming Alliance, have too many things to consider."

"We not only bear the mission of guarding the peace of the Alien Battlefield, but also have to maintain the balance between the two great universes; it's truly a bit too difficult!"

Hearing Batro's words, even Lin Tianwei was shocked by the other party's shamelessness.

Fortunately, the Divine Kings hadn't all fallen, still holding onto their bottom line, so it wasn't completely rotten to the core.

As for why the Divine Kings were indifferent to the Score Farming Alliance, it was also easy to understand; after all, those participating in the Score Farming Alliance were powerful Cosmic Beasts.

Unless they intended to cripple themselves by eliminating the Score Farming Alliance in their own universe, they could only remain indifferent.

Once they crippled themselves, the strength of their universe's side of the Alien Battlefield would plummet, and it would be instantly devoured by the opposing universe.

The seemingly powerful Divine Kings were, ironically, helpless in such matters.

How could one extract crucial intelligence from such a sly and deceitful individual, so Lin Tianwei only intended to ask him one last question, saying:

"Do you know the specific locations and power distribution of other Novice Villages?"

How could Lin Tianwei possibly join a parasitic alliance like the Score Farming Alliance?

So his only choice was to continue slaughtering, continuing to conquer territories, to earn enough merit points to exchange for a Divine King's legacy.

Even if Batro was foolish, he now detected something off in Lin Tianwei's words.

After hearing about such a good thing as the Score Farming Alliance, shouldn't the other party be concerned about how to join it?

Why would he care about irrelevant things like Novice Village information?

"You actually don't plan to join the Score Farming Alliance, planning to miss such a good opportunity to farm scores?"

Upon realizing a possibility, Batro subconsciously let out an exclamation.

In response, Lin Tianwei scoffed, saying: "Can a mere Score Farming Alliance allow me to earn trillions of merit points?"

"How could I join such a useless alliance?"

Trillions of merit points? Divine King's legacy?

Connecting it with the powerful strength Lin Tianwei had displayed, Batro instantly thought of a possibility and exclaimed:

"How can you be a Universe Master?"

Lin Tianwei didn't directly answer Batro's confusion, instead immediately beginning to devour and digest the food in his stomach.

Since no information could be extracted from Batro, he no longer held intelligence value, only the value as food.

To be completely digested and absorbed by Lin Tianwei could be considered an honor for Batro; at least he could experience the Universe Master realm, which most Cosmic Beasts could not, before his death.

After experiencing Ginas's newly ascended Universe Master power, Lin Tianwei, who was already just a step away, also gained enlightenment.

His Body of Talents was constantly evolving, from the most basic stacking of Talents to their arrangement, combination, and fusion, until it finally evolved into a universe with complete rules to be considered a successful ascension to a Universe Master.

This was destined to be a long process. Due to limited time, Lin Tianwei had only temporarily evolved his stomach into a universe, believing it would surely give Batro a proper welcome.

Daybreak!

In Batro's originally pitch-black vision, thousands of stars suddenly lit up, adorning the darkness like a vast and beautiful universe.

Danger, extreme danger.

Yet, facing such a beautiful scene, Batro's heart was filled only with an unshakeable sense of crisis.

He had a premonition that if he didn't work hard now, he might never have the chance to work hard in this life.

Thinking of this, Batro's claws subconsciously lit up, and the law representing demon-breaking surged.

However, facing this vast universe, Batro's tiny claws seemed so powerless.

How could a Cosmic Beast of ordinary strength contend with an entire universe?

Ultimately, he could only be completely devoured by the laws of the universe, ground down into energy within Lin Tianwei's body.

One ten-thousandth.

The energy in Batro's body barely increased Lin Tianwei's energy by one ten-thousandth, not even providing a hint of satisfaction, truly not qualifying as premium food.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei subconsciously looked ahead. Alien Novice Village No. 9527 was already within reach. He only hoped this Novice Village would be a bit more substantial, enough to make Lin Tianwei feel a little satisfied.

Night seemed to be the eternal state of the Alien Battlefield; at least, since Lin Tianwei arrived here, he had never seen daylight again.

Although Cosmic Beasts capable of coming to the Alien Battlefield generally met the requirements for light, which wouldn't affect their combat power, Lin Tianwei occasionally still felt a little unaccustomed.

So this time, Lin Tianwei planned to set off a huge, huge firework to light up the darkness before him.

Alien Novice Village No. 9527: I truly thank you for your generosity.

Although Alien Novice Village No. 9527 was clearly more prosperous and its defenses stronger.

But for Lin Tianwei, this slight difference was nonexistent and could not deter his determination to conquer this Novice Village.

His claws slightly raised, the familiar sensation returned—those were the seven attacks Lin Tianwei released, a total of thirty-five claw marks.

If struck by Lin Tianwei's attacks, the seemingly sturdy protective array before them might be instantly shattered. This was the bloody lesson learned from the destruction of the previous Novice Village.

However, just as Lin Tianwei's attack was about to hit the protective array, seven figures instantly appeared in front of Lin Tianwei.

One alien Cosmic Beast was responsible for five claw marks, instantly neutralizing the threat brought by Lin Tianwei.

The moment they saw Lin Tianwei, the eyes of the seven alien Cosmic Beasts practically glowed. Doran, who was leading them, even shouted excitedly:

"We finally waited for your appearance; it wasn't in vain for us seven brothers to wait in this small place for so long."

"We didn't expect our luck to be so good, and we'll soon be able to acquire a very substantial amount of merit points."

The issuance of the bounty mission was immediate and effective, with countless alien Cosmic Beasts responding to the bounty, staking out Novice Villages not far from Alien Novice Village No. 126578.

Although they didn't believe Lin Tianwei would be so audacious as to commit successive evil deeds after his initial rampage,

They still held a glimmer of unrealistic hope, hoping to ambush Lin Tianwei's appearance nearby.

After all, that was a full two billion merit points; acquiring it little by little through normal missions would take an extremely long time.

Doran and his six brothers were merely waiting here on a whim, but they hadn't expected Lady Luck to truly descend and favor them, allowing them to wait for Lin Tianwei, this walking two billion merit points.

Coincidentally, Lin Tianwei also believed himself to be very lucky.

He had originally thought this operation would only yield the reward of one Novice Village, but he hadn't expected seven alien Cosmic Beasts to actively deliver themselves to his doorstep.

Since the other party was so tactful, Lin Tianwei naturally had to be a bit generous and let them die without pain.

Thinking this, Lin Tianwei's figure instantly became illusory.

The Alien Battlefield had gathered a large number of alien Cosmic Beasts; even if these alien Cosmic Beasts before him were only a small fraction, their sheer number was still astonishing, supported by the massive base.

In this situation, if he continued to act slowly as before, Lin Tianwei feared he would be fighting until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse to accumulate enough merit points to exchange for a Divine King's legacy.

It was for this reason that Lin Tianwei intended to exert a little more effort and improve his efficiency in 'mob farming.'

That's right, these not-so-powerful alien Cosmic Beasts in Lin Tianwei's eyes were no different from the small monsters in a game.

Similarly, they could be killed in large swaths, and similarly, there was no burden in killing them.

Mercy towards aliens was cruelty towards oneself.

As Lin Tianwei's figure gradually became illusory, he seemed to completely disappear, directly dissipating into the universe.

Even if Doran and the other beasts were 100% alert, they couldn't sense a trace of Lin Tianwei's aura.

"Escaped? This alien Cosmic Beast worth two billion merit points escaped?"

Komlan, standing beside Doran, was full of surprise, unable to believe that Lin Tianwei would flee without a fight.

In stark contrast to Komlan's confusion, Maria found Lin Tianwei's escape perfectly understandable, scoffing:

"Is his escape something difficult to understand?"

"He's facing an incredibly powerful legion with seven Lord-level Cosmic Beasts—the Holy Flame Legion."

"It's only because he fled fast enough and decisively enough; otherwise, we would have definitely kept him today."

"Alright, since the enemy has escaped, it's time for us to pack up and go home."

"If it weren't for this potential high bounty, who would come to such a godforsaken Novice Village?"

Although Maria spoke casually, after discovering Lin Tianwei's escape, she actually let out a slight sigh of relief.

Similar to killing a bounty target, repelling a bounty target also yielded merit point rewards.

Although the repel reward was only one-tenth of the kill reward, which was two hundred million merit points.

But considering how easy it was to complete the repel mission, with no risk at all, it was equivalent to picking up two hundred million merit points for free. Maria was naturally overjoyed.

After all, Lin Tianwei clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with; if a real fight broke out, let alone death, even getting injured would be an extremely unprofitable outcome for them.

After forcefully sensing the space where Lin Tianwei had once been, Komlan felt no abnormality and also let out a slight sigh of relief.

Maria's words were absolutely correct; facing the powerful Holy Flame Legion, this so-called two-billion-merit-point bounty target could only flee in disarray.

Thinking of this, Komlan subconsciously looked at Doran, at the legion commander of the Holy Flame Legion.

This was a battlefield, not a place for child's play; even if the situation was clear, whether to advance or retreat still required waiting for Doran's command.

However, this glance made Komlan freeze instantly.

Because he saw no trace of ease on Doran's face; instead, there was only an extraordinary solemnity.

It was as if the enemy hadn't fled, but was instead brewing a terrifying attack.

How could this be?

No one had sensed the enemy's aura, so how could the enemy still be present in this space?

Unless the enemy's strength was extremely powerful, strong enough to surpass all of them combined.

But this was absolutely impossible; from Lin Tianwei's claw marks, he had only sensed Lord-level power, not even reaching the peak of Lord-level.

And they, just their legion commander Doran alone, was a peak Lord-level Cosmic Beast.

Just as Komlan tried to persuade Doran not to be so jumpy, he saw Doran suddenly realize something and scream in terror:

"Run, everyone, run!" (End of this chapter)
