191: Chapter 191: As an Instructor, Training New Students

Since all the classmates were gone, there was no point in him staying here any longer.

Lin Yuan stood up from his chair, preparing to return to his villa to organize the gains he had made this time in the Rubiks Cube World.

"Brother Lin Yuan, wait, wait."

Seeing that Lin Yuan was about to leave, Bai Ye hurriedly sprang up from the seat next to him and quickly approached.

"Brother Lin Yuan, when you return from the Ten Thousand Races Blood Pact Battle, you must tell me all about your glorious deeds in there."

"Let me bask in your reflected glory."

Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at Bai Ye.

"Battlefield? What battle?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

How come he didn't know he had any upcoming schedule to go to a battlefield?

Bai Ye was stunned.

He widened his eyes, looking Lin Yuan up and down several times.

He confirmed that this ruthless person who had just slaughtered his way through the entire class was truly unaware, rather than joking.

"My god, Brother Lin Yuan." Bai Ye slapped his forehead, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Could it be that you, guy, pay no attention to affairs on the Star Net and only focus on slaughtering in your Divine Domain?"

Lin Yuan didn't respond, just watched him quietly.

Seeing this, Bai Ye cleared his throat, adopted the professional posture of an intelligence peddler, and began to explain things to Lin Yuan.

"This [Ten Thousand Races Blood Pact Battle] isn't some small-scale simulation like we have inside Starry Sky University. That is a real, bona fide war of ten thousand races."

Bai Ye lowered his voice and leaned in closer.

"The Universe is vast and boundless. To compete for ownerless Star Domains and high-dimensional resources, various races have constant border frictions."

"To avoid a total war that would cause the Universe to collapse, the supreme existences of various races established a blood pact."

"They opened up a special battlefield and threw the younger generation of each race inside to fight."

"Inside, there are not only the top Prodigies of our Human Race Federation, but also monsters from the Mechanical Race, Zerg, Demon descendants, and even the Star Spirit Race."

Bai Ye paused deliberately after saying this.

His facial features were exaggeratedly scrunched together; it was as if the words "hurry up and ask me what the benefits are inside" were written directly on his face.

Lin Yuan sighed.

This guy just loved this kind of jumpy, dramatic style.

He cooperated and asked: "So, what kind of rewards are actually in this battlefield that make all the Prodigies risk their lives for it?"

"Now you're asking the right questions!"

Bai Ye slapped his thigh and began to talk eloquently.

"Brother Lin Yuan, let me be honest with you. The rewards this time are absolutely not the common goods circulating on the market."

"Things like tens of billions of faith points, rare Divine Domain building blueprints, or top-tier follower races."

"Let me put it this way: even the divinity fragment that people would fight tooth and nail for is just child's play compared to the ultimate reward of this battlefield!"

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered.

If even a divinity fragment was considered a mere scrap, this reward was indeed substantial.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's interest was piqued, Bai Ye stopped being mysterious and lowered his voice to spit out three words.

"Habitat."

Seeing Lin Yuan's slightly thoughtful gaze, Bai Ye continued to add:

"A top-tier habitat that allows a human True God, after condensing their divinity, to fully materialize their Divine Domain and lift it into the Astral Realm to become an eternal Divine Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this term, Lin Yuan realized his time in the library hadn't been wasted.

He finally understood why the value of this thing was superior to a divinity fragment.

This was indeed essential for advancing to a True God, and even the lifeblood that could determine a deity's future potential limit.

At the Demigod stage, a Divine Domain is, after all, just a semi-plane attached to the main material Universe, existing between the boundary of reality and illusion.

Demigods continuously plunder the cores of alien planes and integrate them into their own Divine Domains to promote the advancement of their Divine Domains.

This leads to a serious problem.

The more powerful a Demigod is, the more plane cores their Divine Domain consumes, the more complete the Law of the Divine Domain becomes, and the more terrifying its mass.

Once a Demigod ignites their divine fire, condenses their divinity, and steps into the True God Realm.

Their Divine Domain must be stripped from the illusion and descend into the real Universe, which is called "Lifting the Divine Kingdom."

But the real Star Domain simply cannot withstand the arrival of a newly materialized Divine Kingdom.

If you just find an ordinary life planet or a barren star system to lift the Divine Domain, there is only one outcome:

The moment the Divine Domain descends, the conflict between mass and Law will directly crush that piece of starry sky into pieces.

The planet collapses, a black hole is created, and the Divine Domain will be torn into fragments in the spatial turbulence.

At this time, a "Habitat" is needed to serve as the foundation for carrying the Divine Kingdom.

A Habitat is often a wonder left over from the birth of the Universe, or some kind of special coordinate.

The rank of the Habitat directly determines the future stability and development potential of the Divine Kingdom.

This is also one of the core factors affecting a deity's strength in the Late Stage.

Those deities backed by large regional families or top financial groups have elders who have long spent a great price to find, or even artificially cultivate, high-rank Habitats for them in the starry sky.

Once they reach the True God Realm, they can just move in, and their Divine Kingdom will be as stable as Mount Tai.

As for those "three-no" civilian deities with no money, no resources, and no background.

Even if they luckily reach the limit of a Demigod, if they can't find a suitable Habitat, they can only go to the edge of the starry sky and find a barren planet.

Spending tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, using their own Divine Power to slowly transform the environment, and gradually nurture and accumulate.

With this back and forth, the gap between True Gods is stretched into a chasm from the very beginning.

Lin Yuan quickly calculated in his heart.

In this way, this thing is indeed a rigid demand for him.

His Wasteland Divine Domain has Demon Trees spread across every corner, with countless followers fighting and devouring each other inside every day.

The severity of the environment is even more abyssal than the Abyss itself.

In this case, he needs a place that is more chaotic than the Abyss and more solid than Hell to serve as a foundation.

Thinking of this, a name popped into Lin Yuan's mind.

Red Mist Contamination Zone.

The forbidden land that Commander Xiao mentions every day.

A terrifying zone specifically bred by the Abyss to oppose the Human Race, a place where even True Gods would be contaminated and distorted upon entering.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up slightly.

His original mission was to infiltrate the Red Mist Contamination Zone as an S-rank sequence.

As long as he can conquer the Red Mist Contamination Zone and refine it into his own Habitat.

Once the Divine Kingdom is settled, it could become a Universe-level forbidden zone.

Lin Yuan's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

He was completely tempted by this Red Mist Contamination Zone.

"How can I obtain the qualification to participate in this battle?" Lin Yuan retracted his thoughts, looked at Bai Ye, and asked in a straightforward tone.

Bai Ye was just about to continue talking endlessly about the various rumors in the battlefield, but when he heard Lin Yuan ask suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly.

He scratched his head, and the expression on his face became a bit awkward.

"That... Brother Lin Yuan, actually it's not time yet."

Bai Ye gave two dry laughs and explained:

"Our batch of people were all specially recruited in advance; those serious high school seniors outside are still in school, struggling to prepare for the college entrance exam."

"The selection of quotas for the battle is open to the entire Starry Sky University."

"Although we are strong, rules are rules. We have to wait for them to finish the college entrance exam and come here with their admission letters, so everyone can compete in the selection tournament together."

"Otherwise, if the quotas were directly reserved for us, it wouldn't be fair to those Geniuses outside."

Bai Ye counted on his fingers.

"There's about another month or so. Once the college entrance exam is over and all the freshmen have reported, the selection tournament will officially begin."

Speaking of this, Bai Ye immediately patted his chest, full of confidence.

"But you can rest assured, Brother Lin Yuan. We have enrolled two months in advance."

"With our current strength, what can those Geniuses outside who haven't even taken the college entrance exam compare with us?"

"The selection tournament is just a formality for us."

The more Bai Ye talked, the more excited he became, and a perverted smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

"Besides, in this month or so, we won't just be waiting idly."

"According to the tradition of Starry Sky University, the main task for our batch of early-admission students is to conduct military training for that group of arrogant freshmen who have just enrolled!"

"Brother Lin Yuan, you don't know, I love doing this kind of thing the most."

"Watching those freshmen who were rampant in their hometowns being pressed into the mud on the military training field by us, that feeling of crushing them, tsk tsk tsk..."

Bai Ye was immersed in the fantasy of bullying the weak, his mouth almost stretching to his ears.

However, before he finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind blow past him.

Looking up, he saw that Lin Yuan had already walked toward the classroom door.

Learning that there was still more than a month left, and that he had to be a military training instructor for some freshmen in the meantime.

Lin Yuan immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation.

With so much time in between, what was the rush?

"Hey, hey! Brother Lin Yuan! Don't rush to leave!"

Seeing that Lin Yuan was about to withdraw, Bai Ye called out from behind to stop him.

"It's already mealtime, I'll treat you to a meal at the [Star-Plucking Tower]!"

"The head chef inside uses nothing but the tenderloin of Platinum Rank Starry Sky Giant Beasts, and there's wine brewed from the Spring of Life."

"Let's eat and chat to strengthen our brotherly bond!"

Lin Yuan didn't even look back, waving his hand behind him.

"Forget it, let's talk next time. I have things to do back home."

Before his words fell, Lin Yuan's figure had already walked out of the classroom and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Watching the direction where Lin Yuan disappeared, the smile on Bai Ye's face gradually faded. He let out a long sigh, and a sense of frustration welled up in his heart.

He had originally thought that by forcibly absorbing a few World Hearts.

Even if he couldn't firmly suppress Lin Yuan, at least he could compete on equal footing among the freshmen of Starry Sky University.

As a result, the battle in the Rubiks Cube World gave him a hard slap in the face.

Let alone getting ahead of Lin Yuan.

He sadly discovered that he might not even be able to defeat Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao, who pushed her glasses in class.

Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao's [Mechanical Plague] Divine Domain was simply the nemesis of the undead system.

The Mechanical Plague could not only restrict him from transforming corpses but also had significant immunity to the Soul toxins of the undead.

His undead sea had its power directly cut in half when facing a group of iron lumps with no vital signs.

And what about Lin Yuan?

Lin Yuan had directly crushed Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao along with her mechanical legion, like crumpling up waste paper.

The gap between them was no longer something that could be made up for by resources and time.

However, Bai Ye was, after all, Bai Ye.

The thickness of his skin and his psychological endurance were absolutely top-notch.

The frustration only stayed in his heart for less than ten seconds before he cast it to the back of his mind.

"Who cares!"

Bai Ye slapped his cheeks hard, his eyes becoming lazy again.

"The quota for the battle isn't just for one person. Lin Yuan can take first place and be the leader to charge at the front."

"That doesn't mean I, Bai Ye, can't drink the soup behind him!"

Since the first place is a monster that cannot be surpassed, then he would compete for second place.

As long as he trampled Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao, Cheng E, and that bunch of guys under his feet, he, Bai Ye, would still be one of the dazzling Prodigies of Starry Sky University.

"Damn it, Mechanical Plague, right? I'll upgrade the skeletons of the undead as soon as I go back."

Bai Ye gritted his teeth, his whole body igniting with the raging fire of involution.

He didn't even have the heart to go to [Star-Plucking Tower] to eat anymore, turning around and returning to his villa.

I'm going to get at least second place!
