210: Chapter 210: Five Hearts of the World

In a Small World.

The sky was grayish-brown, and the earth was scarred and desolate.

Unlike the high-risk class where Lin Yuan was, this was the military training plane prepared by Starry Sky University for normal freshman classes.

Xing Yun stood atop an isolated peak, his heterochromatic pupils, alternating between dark gold and dark green, overlooking the plains below.

On the plains, tens of millions of dependents were slaughtering each other.

This was a plane plunder war between freshmen.

Xing Yun closed his eyes, feeling the surging Divine Power within his body.

Fifth Turn Demigod.

This sense of overflowing power intoxicated him.

At the age of eighteen, what he awakened was merely an A-rank Divine Domain.

But his ancient Bloodline had undergone atavism.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, he locked himself in the Family Bloodline Forbidden Ground, enduring the excruciating pain of Bloodline reshaping and completely squeezing out his atavistic Bloodline.

Phase Two Awakening was successful.

Jumping across social strata from the A-rank Divine Domain [Ancient Martial Continent], he directly transformed into the double SS-rank Divine Domain [Mecha Martial God Nation].

His Realm broke through barriers one after another, steadily stepping into the Fifth Turn Demigod.

In the battlefield below, Xing Yun's dependents were slaughtering each other.

Xing Yun's dependents were humans native to his Divine Domain, but they had split into two completely different evolutionary paths.

On the left battlefield were martial dao dependents who practiced martial arts.

These humans were bare-chested with bulging muscles, and dark red totems surfaced on the surfaces of their bodies.

They primarily practiced martial dao.

They did not practice cumbersome Spells, nor did they cultivate fragile true essence.

They only cultivated a mouthful of pure Qi and blood.

A martial dao dependent slightly bent his legs and abruptly kicked off the ground.

The ground collapsed into a deep pit a hundred meters in diameter.

His entire person soared into the sky, crashing into the formation of the enemy's flying Demonic Beasts.

Waving his double fists, the power of Qi and blood penetrated out of his body, transforming into substantial Protective Aura.

With a single punch smashed down, the Demonic Beast's bones shattered inch by inch, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Qi and blood like a furnace, fists suppressing rivers and mountains.

On the right battlefield were mechanical dependents.

These humans wore form-fitting silver combat suits, and every joint, spine, and even eyeball of their bodies had been replaced with precise mechanical prosthetics.

A mechanical dependent raised his right hand, his palm splitting open to reveal a gravity core glowing with deep blue light.

He clenched his five fingers tightly.

The gravity within a radius of several hundred meters in front of him instantly reversed.

Over a hundred indigenous creatures were forcibly pulled into mid-air, colliding and squeezing against each other.

The array patterns in another mechanical dependent's eyeballs lit up.

Space folding technology was activated.

The gravitational field in mid-air was cut into countless fragments by invisible spatial blades.

Those indigenous creatures, along with the surrounding space, were cut into pieces, and severed limbs fell like raindrops.

Flesh is weak, machinery ascends.

The leading early-batch students stood in the distance, seeing this scene with eyes full of astonishment.

Were they hiding their strength? When fighting the arena match just now, this fellow didn't make a move the entire time.

Xing Yun looked at the destructive battle situation below, without a trace of joy on his face.

His private terminal had just received an encrypted piece of intelligence.

Lin Yuan had already been tacitly appointed by the higher-ups as the leader of the vanguard army of the Human Race for the Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races.

Xing Yun clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

On what grounds?

Having endured for so many years and suffered all kinds of humiliation, he had finally undergone atavism of his Bloodline and awakened an SS-rank Divine Domain.

He should have shone brightly on this stage and trampled everyone under his feet.

As a result, Lin Yuan appeared out of nowhere, skipping even the formality of the selection matches and directly taking the biggest cake.

He recalled the terrifying Domain Lin Yuan had just displayed.

Reason told him that his current self was definitely not Lin Yuan's match in a head-on clash.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of Xing Yun's eyes.

The Law of survival his Family had taught him since childhood never included fair competition.

As long as he could kill his opponent, the process didn't matter at all.

If he couldn't beat him head-on, he would change the way to play.

The starry sky was vast; there were too many ways to make a person die.

He knew that in this starry sky of the human federation.

There were border-roaming space pirates, money-driven assassination organizations, and fallen deities wanted by the federation.

As long as these fellows were given enough resources, they would even dare to take a bite out of a True God.

Although Lin Yuan's Divine Domain coordinates were kept secret, as long as he was willing to spend a lot of money, he could always buy clues.

Hiring a few fallen deities, taking advantage of the fact that Lin Yuan's Divine Kingdom was not yet stable, they could directly sneak into his Divine Domain and cause massive destruction.

Once the Divine Domain was damaged, Lin Yuan's strength would inevitably be greatly discounted, or he might even fall straight from the divine altar.

By then, the position of the leader would naturally become vacant.

A cold sneer curled the corner of Xing Yun's mouth.

He tapped open a hidden interface on his terminal and entered a complex cryptographic code.

"Lin Yuan, you blocked my path, so go die."

...

Villa No. 079.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the rush mat in the center of the living room, the Divine Power within his body circulating along a specific circuit.

Having just completed three major circulation cycles.

The access control System made a soft 'beep' sound.

[A visitor requests entry. Authorize?]

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.

These fellows are truly like lingering wraiths.

It was one thing for them to block him in the square just now, but now they actually tracked him directly to the villa.

Did they really think that inside Starry Sky University, he wouldn't dare to beat people up?

Lin Yuan stood up and strode towards the foyer.

He had already decided, regardless of whether the person standing outside the door was that armor-selling manager or that Senior sister with a head full of waste.

The moment he opened the door, he would throw the other party straight out of the villa area.

The main gate slid open to both sides.

The Divine Power within Lin Yuan's body had already gathered in his palm.

After seeing clearly who was outside the door, the action in his hands abruptly stopped.

A woman was standing outside the door.

The woman was wearing a moon-white long dress, her long hair casually coiled up with a wooden hairpin, a few strands of hair hanging beside her ears.

Her facial features were not considered peerless, but standing there, her entire person exuded an indescribable aura.

Her gaze was deep, as if it could encompass all things, and her every gesture carried the composure and introversion of someone who had long held a high position.

Lin Yuan immediately realized that this should be the "old classmate" Commander Xiao Lie mentioned.

"Commander Xiao Lie sent me here." The woman spoke, her voice warm, her speech neither fast nor slow.

Lin Yuan immediately dispersed the Divine Power in his palm, took half a step back, and stepped aside.

"Senior, please come in."

Lin Yuan's attitude was respectful.

The woman nodded slightly and stepped into the villa.

Lin Yuan closed the main gate and led the woman to the living room.

"Senior, would you like tea or plain water?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Plain water is fine."

Lin Yuan walked to the synthesizer counter, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it over with both hands.

The woman took the water cup and sat down on the sofa.

She picked up the water cup, took a sip, and then cast her gaze onto Lin Yuan.

She looked him up and down, a flash of appreciation crossing her eyes.

"Commander Xiao Lie that fellow has decent taste. Sixth Turn Demigod, solid Foundation, and steady enough Heart-Nature."

The woman put down the water cup, her hands crossed and placed on her knees.

"My name is Su Jin, and I hold a nominal position at Starry Sky University. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can come find me."

Lin Yuan sat down on the opposite sofa, crossing his hands.

"Commander Xiao said that you would tell me how to handle the current situation."

Su Jin looked at Lin Yuan, a hint of an imperceptible smile on the corner of her lips.

"You are currently the hottest commodity in the entire federation."

She extended a finger and gently tapped the coffee table desktop.

"Vanguard army leader. This position represents a tilt of resources, absolute attention from the higher-ups, and an open path to the heavens in the future."

"Countless people are staring at this position. By taking it, you are effectively cutting off others' paths."

Lin Yuan leaned against the sofa back, listening quietly.

"Inside Starry Sky University, the school rules hold things in check. Those noble families and financial conglomerates dare not act recklessly."

"At most, they will just send people to recruit you, sending you money, equipment, and women."

Su Jin's tone was calm, as if she were speaking of a trivial matter.

"Whether you accept these sugar-coated bullets depends entirely on you."

"But the real danger lies outside the school."

Su Jin changed the topic, saying with a solemn expression: "Once you leave the protection of Starry Sky University to conduct plane plundering through the stargate or execute practical combat missions—"

"Those methods targeting you will shift directly from the shadows to the open."

"Alien assassins, suicide squads of hostile factions, and even some bribed wandering deities."

"They will pounce on you like mad dogs."

After hearing Su Jin's words, Lin Yuan's brain spun at high speed.

Being unable to leave the protection of Starry Sky University meant being unable to go to the front lines through the stargate and unable to plunder alien planes.

For other students, this was called closed-door preparation for battle.

For Lin Yuan, this was called cutting off people's financial sources.

What he relied on was supporting war with war.

Without plane cores and alien flesh and blood, what would the Demon Tree eat?

How would the Divine Domain expand?

During this golden period before the Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races began, stagnation in strength was equivalent to chronic suicide.

"Senior," Lin Yuan leaned forward, looking straight at Su Jin across the sofa.

"Since the school has pushed me into this fire-roasted position, it should at least give some practical solutions."

"Just relying on those conventional resources isn't even enough to fill the gap between my teeth."

The hand Su Jin was holding the water cup with paused slightly.

She lifted her eyelids, re-evaluating the young man in front of her.

If it were an ordinary freshman, upon learning that they were targeted by alien assassins and suicide squads of internal financial conglomerates of the Human Race, and didn't even dare to step out of the school gate,

their first reaction would most likely be panic and unease, or requesting the school to provide absolute security protection.

Lin Yuan, however, was something else.

The first thing on his mind was still how to get resources and how to continue climbing up.

"Composed, pragmatic, and bold enough." Su Jin put down the water cup, an appreciative arc curving at the corner of her mouth.

"Commander Xiao Lie said that you brat are a born war maniac, and he didn't misjudge you."

Before the words fell, Su Jin flipped her wrist.

A palm-sized hexagonal prism box crafted entirely from dark silver alloy appeared out of thin air in her palm.

With a casual toss, it landed in Lin Yuan's embrace.

Lin Yuan reached out and caught it.

Ice-cold to the touch, and exceptionally heavy.

"Open it and take a look." Su Jin leaned back against the sofa, her tone casual.

A wisp of Divine Power condensed at Lin Yuan's fingertips, probing into the verification array patterns on the surface of the metal box.

"Click."

A mechanical meshing sound rang out, and the hexagonal prism box unfolded outwards into six sector faces.

In an instant, five fist-sized, crystal-clear spheres glowing with different elemental colors floated in the center of the box.

Beneath these five spheres, a silver card was also placed.

Lin Yuan's breathing involuntarily quickened a bit.

The energy density contained within these five crystal-clear spheres even exceeded the World Hearts he had previously plundered from Plane 712.
