214: Chapter 214: Both sides seem to be very worried.

Lin Yuan categorized the pile of scrap metal stripped from the Time Demon Race, packed it, and put it up on the military's internal network trading platform.

The quality of this batch of Magic Treasures was extremely poor, and most of them came with severe Void Oscillation cracks and venom corrosion marks.

The procurement officers on the military network had sharp eyes, and the prices they offered were pushed very low.

Half an hour later, all the Magic Treasures were cleared out.

Lin Yuan glanced at his account balance, with an income of 1.3 billion faith points.

It was a sizable windfall.

He turned off his brain terminal, sat cross-legged again on the futon in the center of the living room, and closed his eyes.

His Divine Thought once again crossed the endless Void Realm and descended upon the Wasteland Divine Domain.

Fishing enforcement, continue.

Over the next two days, the void turbulence on the periphery of the Wasteland Divine Domain became exceptionally lively.

Wandering races roaming the edge of the starry sky kept arriving.

Their scales were all around several hundred thousand, and their troop configurations were surprisingly consistent: a massive amount of Diamond Tier cannon fodder, led by the Transcendent Tier.

The first wave to arrive was a mutant branch of the Starry Sky Zerg — the Gold-Devouring Iron Ants.

This group of iron ants was as big as a cow, with shells showing a dull pig iron color, making a living by specifically devouring various metal mineral veins and Magic Treasure wrecks.

They rode a starry sky nest spliced together from countless metal blocks, forcibly crashing through the crystal wall system of the Wasteland Divine Domain.

The ant queen was a Transcendent Tier giant insect with a body length exceeding one hundred meters.

It lay in the center of the nest, emitting a harsh psychic screech, directing an army of 800,000 iron ants to air-drop onto the plains of the New Continent.

They had their eyes on the black-gold dark-iron luster flowing on the trunk of the Demon Tree below.

The iron ant army fell from high altitude like a black waterfall.

Lin Yuan hovered above the Nine Heavens, not even lifting an eyelid.

He was too lazy to even use the Tyrant Demon and the Calamity Fire Spirit of the Extreme North.

In the sky, hundreds of thousands of Mutated Magic Vultures spread their wings.

The spatial stomachs on their abdomens bulged simultaneously, and dazzling thunder patterns lit up on the surface of their liquid metal armor.

[Gravity Deflection] stacked with [Void Oscillation].

The gravitational field in the high altitude became disordered.

The falling iron ant army suddenly felt an irresistible tearing force.

The iron ants in the front row were forcibly pulled upward, while the iron ants in the back row continued to dive downward.

The 800,000-strong army collided with each other mid-air.

The harsh sound of metal collisions resounded above the Nine Heavens.

The Demon Vulture flock opened their bird beaks, and hundreds of thousands of light pillars mixed with Extremely Heavy Water and destructive thunder gushed out.

The thunder conducted wildly through the dense formation of iron ants.

The terrifying kinetic energy attached to the Extremely Heavy Water directly smashed the pig iron shells of the iron ants.

The ant queen let out a despairing roar, trying to flap its wings and escape.

Three of the largest Transcendent Tier Demon Vultures instantly appeared above its head.

Six dark gold sharp claws exerted force at the same time, tearing the ant queen's body into four pieces.

The battle ended within five minutes.

The 800,000 Gold-Devouring Iron Ants were blasted into flying pieces of iron all over the sky mid-air without even touching the black thorn grass on the surface of the Wasteland Divine Domain.

The Demon Vulture flock swarmed forward, swallowing these metal-element-rich remains into their spatial stomachs as nourishment to strengthen their liquid metal armor.

The second wave of invaders was the Shadow Clan.

This was an assassin race naturally attuned to the Law of Shadows.

They did not ride any flying vehicles, but instead used their racial talent to turn into hundreds of thousands of indistinct black shadows, sneaking into the divine domain along the gaps of the crystal wall system.

The leader of the Shadow Clan was a Transcendent Tier Peak assassin.

His plan was self-considered to be perfect: sneak into the shadow dimension, avoid the birds in the sky, directly assassinate the dependent leader in the core area of the divine domain, and plunder resources after creating chaos.

Hundreds of thousands of black shadows silently melted into the shadows of the New Continent.

As soon as they entered the shadow dimension, they sensed something was wrong.

The shadows here were too viscous.

There was some kind of living creature breathing in the shadows.

The next second, countless pairs of crimson eyes opened in the shadows.

One million Magic Blade Bats hung upside down deep in the shadows, coldly staring at this group of uninvited guests.

Magic Blade Bats were much better at playing with shadows than these guys.

[True Illusion] activated.

The assassins of the Shadow Clan fell into endless fear illusions.

They saw their companions turn into ugly abyss demons, and saw the shadows themselves grow countless sharp teeth and fangs.

The Magic Blade Bats spread their wing membranes covered with Void patterns, and four bone arms extended out.

The shadow battle began.

The sounds of bone blades cutting flesh rose one after another.

The Shadow Clan leader desperately urged his secret technique, trying to escape the shadow dimension and return to real space.

Just as he poked half his body out, a Transcendent Tier Magic Blade Bat crawled out from his shadow.

Pale green spores directly pasted onto the leader's face.

The leader's screams cut off abruptly, and his entire body melted into a puddle of green pus within three seconds.

Hundreds of thousands of the Shadow Clan did not survive a single one.

The third wave, Scarlet Blood Batmen.

This group of Orcs with bat wings that fed on Qi and blood had just penetrated the crystal wall system when they collided head-on with the worst weather in the Wasteland Divine Domain.

Dark red karmic fire rolled in the clouds, and pale green poisonous miasma rampaged like a tornado.

The leader of the Scarlet Blood Batmen tried to lead his clansmen to forcibly pass through the poisonous miasma layer.

The extremely high infectious plague attached to the poisonous miasma erupted within the batmen's formation.

Large numbers of batmen's skin began to dissolve, and the wing membranes on their wings were corroded with countless holes.

Screaming, they plummeted from high altitude.

Waiting for them below was the ruthless thunder carpet-bombing of the Demon Vulture flock.

The Scarlet Blood Batmen didn't even see the enemy's shadow before they were burned to ashes.

Two days, six waves of invasions.

A total of over ten million wanderers threw themselves one after another to their deaths in the Wasteland Divine Domain.

Lin Yuan took stock of the harvest of these past two days.

Various damaged Magic Treasures, Storage Rings, and starry sky warship wreckage.

Adding everything up, he sold another two billion plus credits on the military network.

After swallowing the flesh and blood and metal wreckage of these invaders, the two aerial populations of Demon Vultures and Magic Blade Bats could also be considered as having had an extra meal.

Lin Yuan sat on the futon, rubbed his brow, and sighed.

Money was earned, and the dependents also tasted a bit of sweetness.

But it wasn't very satisfying.

For a Wasteland Divine Domain with over a billion dependents and a mother tree reaching 900,000 meters tall.

This kind of ten-million-scale invasion couldn't even be considered an appetizer.

The Tyrant Demons on the surface were crazily involuting and evolving every day, and the Calamity Fire Spirits in the Extreme North were boredly devouring each other.

They craved war, craved flesh and blood, and craved a real grand scene.

Lin Yuan craved it just as much.

Only that kind of evenly matched, or even enemy-stronger-than-me divine domain battle.

Could allow him to experience the thrill of plundering, and allow the mother tree to eat the true core of a high-tier world.

Could it be that I killed too fast and leaked the news?

Lin Yuan touched his chin, pondering inwardly.

Six waves of invaders, completely annihilated, not even a single one escaped to report the news.

Logically speaking, the bounty on the black market should still be fermenting, and more and stronger desperadoes should be rushing over.

Why is there suddenly no movement?

Could it be that the chaebol death squads and alien mighty figures hiding in the dark sensed danger and didn't dare to enter the field easily?

Lin Yuan was somewhat distressed.

He even considered whether to proactively remove a portion of the aerial defense.

Let a few small fish in to find some fun for the dependents on the surface.

...

Starry Sky University, freshman district.

An independent villa covering a vast area was situated by the artificial lake.

The furnishings inside the villa were luxurious.

The floor was paved with extreme cold jade marrow airlifted from the Frost Star Domain, and stepping on it could automatically calm the mind.

The ceiling was embedded with hundreds of pigeon-egg-sized star stones, simulating a real brilliant starry sky.

Even the potted plants placed in the corners were Heavenly Wood Vines capable of exhaling the Divine Power of heaven and earth.

However, right in this living room, a storm had just passed.

Xing Yun stood in the center of the living room.

His heterochromatic pupils closely stared at the projection screen in front of him.

The screen was looping the promotional trailer for the Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races.

Lin Yuan's name hung high at the position of the leader of the Human Race vanguard army.

"Bang!"

Xing Yun swung his right arm, shattering the coffee table in front of him carved from a single piece of star crystal.

An old man standing behind and to the side of the sofa slightly lowered his head, avoiding the splashing crystal debris.

The old man was named Chen Fu, with graying hair, wearing a well-fitted gray butler suit.

He was only at the Fourth Revolution of Demigod. In a place like Starry Sky University where geniuses gathered and demigods were as common as dogs, this kind of strength was simply not enough to look at.

But he had lived for nearly a millennium, and was the only trusted aide Xing Yun had painstakingly gathered outside of the Family's surveillance eyes.

"Explain yourself." Xing Yun turned his head, staring at Uncle Fu, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "I told you to leak the coordinates of Lin Yuan's divine domain."

"I've finished my military training now, why is there still no movement on his side?"

Uncle Fu sighed, stepped forward, and bowed slightly.

"Young Master, the clues were indeed leaked, and several dark posts specializing in intelligence trafficking in the black market also accepted the order."

"As long as someone with intentions investigates, they can definitely trace the edge coordinates of Lin Yuan's divine domain."

"We did it very covertly, leaving no traces pointing to you."

"Then what is the result?" Xing Yun stood up, approaching Uncle Fu, the Fifth Revolution Demigod pressure directly pressing down on the old man.

"Don't tell me those chaebols and noble families are all blind!"

"Normally they would fight each other's brains out just to compete for the mining rights of a high-risk Star Domain, yet now a commoner with no background has climbed above their heads, and they actually remain indifferent?"

Enduring the pressure, Uncle Fu raised his head, a trace of helplessness flashing in his turbid eyes.

"They aren't blind, they are very shrewd."

"Young Master, you underestimated the value Lin Yuan is currently displaying, and you underestimated the forbearance of those old foxes."

Uncle Fu paused for a moment, observed Xing Yun's expression, and continued reporting.

"Vanguard army leader, military background, plus Instructor Wen Muxue personally stepping forward to escort."

"These three conditions combined are enough to make any top-tier force weigh the consequences before making a move."

"They are in a wait-and-see state. Several top chaebols even suppressed the proposals of the radicals within."

"The Zhao Family of the Sirius Star District originally clamored to hire hitmen to commit murder."

"As a result, the head of the Zhao Family directly came out of seclusion, broke that young master's legs, and locked him in solitary confinement."

Xing Yun's breathing became heavy, and he said in a deep voice.

"The head of the Zhao Family personally took action? Are they afraid?"

"It's a weighing of interests." Uncle Fu shook his head, "They feel that offending a future top-tier powerhouse just for a quota carries too much risk."

"They are considering cooperation more."

"I have received exact news that some secluded ancient families are already prepared to send their direct-line daughters to Lin Yuan's side for marriage alliance after the blood pact war."

Hearing the two words "marriage alliance", Xing Yun's eye twitched a few times.

"Marriage alliance? They want to win him over? A bunch of fence-sitting trash!"

"Yes." Uncle Fu nodded, "Of course, there are also some blind second-rate families that released death squads, attempting to post bounties on the black market or directly invade Lin Yuan's divine domain."

"But these actions are too crude."

"And the result?"

"They all died." Uncle Fu's tone was solemn, a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.

"The Law enforcement team of Starry Sky University and the military's secret sentinels have long protected Lin Yuan."

"Those death squads couldn't even touch the crystal wall system of Lin Yuan's divine domain before they were blasted into cosmic dust by the military's interstellar strike ships."

"The few assassins who took orders in the black market also mysteriously dropped dead in the past two days."

Xing Yun sat back down on the sofa, covering his face with both hands, his fingers digging deep into his hair.

"For what reason..." Xing Yun's voice was full of unwillingness.

He should have been the center of all this.

He awakened the dual SS-grade divine domain [Mecha Martial God Kingdom], and he endured the inhuman torture of Bloodline reversion.

He withstood the pressure of the Family's old monsters and climbed step by step to his position today.

According to his original vision, after the military training ended, he would crush all newcomers with absolute advantage.

He would stand at the highest point of the arena, accepting the cheers of the whole school's teachers and students.

The big shots of the military would personally meet him, and the powerholders of the chaebols would line up to send him resources.

He would become the leader of the Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races, leading the Human Race prodigies to slaughter everywhere on the starry sky battlefield, becoming the Federation's most dazzling new star.

Those Family direct-line members who once looked down on him would kneel and tremble at his feet, begging for his charity.

Now, all of this was completely ruined.

Lin Yuan snatched the leader's position.

Lin Yuan snatched the attention of the military and chaebols.

He, Xing Yun, a peerless Genius of a grand dual SS-grade divine domain, could actually only take a back seat and compete for an ordinary battle quota!

"Young Master." Uncle Fu looked at Xing Yun's painful appearance and softly consoled him.

"Lin Yuan's momentum is too strong right now, and it's hard for us to touch him. It's better to endure for a period of time first; there'll be plenty of time in the future."

Xing Yun put down his hands and coldly looked at Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu continued: "Once the Blood Pact War of Ten Thousand Races begins, Lin Yuan, as the leader, will inevitably become the primary target of focused fire by the alien races."

"Those alien gods, astral spirits, and demon descendants will definitely save their strongest killing blows for him."

"We can completely sit in the rear, preserve our strength, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"The battlefield changes in an instant, and whether Lin Yuan can return alive is an unknown number."

"As long as you live to the end, you are still the winner."
