98: Chapter 98: Seven hundred million in assets makes you poor? Two billion in divine materials you can just throw away!

A weekend morning.

Lin Yuan pushed open the door to his second-floor bedroom and walked down the stairs.

Old Lin was not sitting on the sofa where he usually stayed, but was standing straight beside the coffee table.

His hands were pressed tightly against the seams of his trousers, his back held perfectly straight, and his eyes revealed a sense of restraint.

He looked exactly like a new recruit meeting the supreme commander.

There was someone sitting on the sofa.

Commander Xiao Lie.

This supreme commander of the Spark Legion was wearing a suit of dark black armor.

The surface of the armor was covered in crisscrossing cracks, with dark purple blood still remaining on the edges.

The blood had not yet dried, emitting terrifying Evil Qi and fluctuations of destruction.

This fluctuation was suppressed by Commander Xiao Lie within three inches of his body; once leaked, the entire villa would turn to dust in an instant.

For the past few days, Commander Xiao Lie had not been in Tianhai Province at all.

The abnormal activity in the Abyssal front was just a ruse.

On the outer defensive line of the Star Domain, several alien gods had taken advantage of the gap during the internal human grand examination to attempt to tear through the defensive line's nodes.

Commander Xiao Lie had charged into the Star Domain alone, beheading three mid-level alien gods in succession.

He also casually crushed the projections of several Abyssal lords, pushing the defensive line back to its original position.

The Evil Qi on his body was the mark of the Law remaining after slaughtering gods.

" C-Commander Xiao, please have some tea. " Old Lin held a cup of hot tea with both hands and handed it over, his wrists trembling slightly.

Commander Xiao Lie looked up at Old Lin and retracted the Evil Qi around his body.

The temperature in the living room quickly rose back to normal.

" Old Lin, there's no need to be so polite. " Commander Xiao Lie took the teacup and smiled, " I remember you from the battle in the Changping Star Domain back then. "

" A platoon leader of the Seventh Assault Battalion, leading a platoon of brothers to hold off three waves of the Abyssal beast main force. You're a tough man. "

Hearing this, Old Lin's eyes instantly reddened, and he puffed out his chest even further: " The Seventh Assault Battalion, fighting to the death without retreating! We didn't bring shame to the Legion! "

Lin Yuan walked to the center of the living room and stopped.

" Commander Xiao. " Lin Yuan greeted him.

" You've recovered well; your energy and spirit have been restored. " Commander Xiao Lie put down the teacup and stood up.

" The matter on the front line has been dealt with. " Commander Xiao Lie looked at Lin Yuan, " Let's go. I'll take you to collect your reward for taking first place in the grand examination. "

Lin Yuan nodded.

He thought Commander Xiao Lie would take him to the military district's starport to take an Advanced warship to the headquarters.

But Commander Xiao Lie didn't walk toward the door at all.

Commander Xiao Lie raised his right hand, pressed his index and middle fingers together, and casually slashed at the Void Realm in front of him.

Space directly split open, creating a three-meter-high black fissure.

Inside the fissure, there was no light, only countless colorful lines of Law flowing.

" Keep up. " Commander Xiao Lie took a step into the fissure, and his figure disappeared.

Lin Yuan looked at the spatial fissure before him, his heart shaken.

This was a display of power at the True God level.

Demigods were still struggling to analyze Laws and borrow the power of elements.

But True Gods could already directly tear through space, ignoring the physical barriers and distances of planets to forcibly perform spatial jumps.

Lin Yuan did not hesitate at all and stepped into the fissure.

There was no sense of weightlessness, nor the pain of being torn by space.

The light and shadows before his eyes changed rapidly, and just one second later, his feet were firmly back on solid ground.

His vision cleared.

Lin Yuan found himself standing in an extremely vast, enclosed space.

All around him were silver-white alloy walls, engraved with complex Divine text arrays.

In front of him were rows of alloy shelves that stretched out of sight.

Each shelf was covered by an independent Divine Power shield.

" This is the Spark Legion's No. 1 strategic reserve vault. " Commander Xiao Lie walked in front, his voice echoing in the treasure vault.

Lin Yuan followed behind, scanning the nearest shelf.

He stopped in his tracks.

Inside the shield of the first shelf on the left, a fist-sized piece of dark gold metal was floating.

The surface of the metal was covered with natural starry patterns, and the surrounding space was slightly deformed by its gravitational pull.

[ Star Meteor Mother Gold ].

This was the core Material for forging the main cannon of a True God-level flagship.

A piece the size of a fingernail had a starting bid of two billion faith points, and it was priceless; all of it was monopolized by chaebols and the military.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at the second shelf.

Inside was a transparent glass bottle containing half a bottle of emerald green liquid.

Within the liquid, the phantom of a towering giant tree could be vaguely seen floating.

[ Seventh-Order Life Divine Water ].

It could ignore the backlash of Laws and repair a demigod's Origin; as long as the Divine Fire was not completely extinguished, one sip could pull a life back from the brink.

On the third shelf sat a crystal the size of an adult's head.

[ Complete Void Dragon Crystal ].

Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

He had fought desperately in the grand examination, and with the bonus from the Education Bureau, he held seven hundred million faith points in his hands, thinking he was quite a wealthy person.

But now it seemed he couldn't even afford a single item on the outermost shelves here.

He was just about to lean in to look at the texture of that Dragon crystal when Commander Xiao Lie reached out and pressed his shoulder.

" Alright, stop looking. " Commander Xiao Lie said in a flat tone, " These things outside are all low-grade goods, not worthy of your status as the first place in the grand examination. Go inside and pick. "

The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

Low-grade goods?

Resources starting at two billion faith points were called low-grade goods.

He suddenly felt that the gifts sent by those aristocratic families a few days ago were just meant to dismiss beggars.

The two continued deeper into the treasure vault.

The further in they went, the fewer the shelves, but the level of the shields increased geometrically.

" In your three years of high school, what the school taught you was just the basics of the basics. " Commander Xiao Lie said as he walked.

" They taught you how to manage your Divine Domain, how to cultivate your kin, and how to ignite your Divine Fire. As for the division of Realms, they only went up to the Ninth Turn of Demigod at most. "

Lin Yuan nodded.

The high school textbooks were indeed like that; knowledge about anything above Divine-Grade was completely blank.

" Only when you reach university will you come into contact with the true ecology of the Star Domain. " Commander Xiao Lie pointed to several crystals ahead emitting strange light.

" Godhead fragments are the keys for demigods to cross the barrier of True God. "

" But Godheads are also divided into different ranks. What's more important is their Origin. "

Commander Xiao Lie stopped and turned to look at Lin Yuan.

" The Godheads left behind by fallen human True Gods are the mildest and easiest to absorb. "

" The core fragments of Abyssal Demon Gods contain violent Laws of destruction. They are extremely difficult to absorb; the slightest carelessness could lead to the distortion of your Divine Domain, or even a backlash of your Divine Fire. "

Commander Xiao Lie paused, his eyes becoming sharp: " Besides humans and the Abyss, under this starry sky, there are thousands of alien races. "

" The Machine Race, Zerg, Protoss, Titan Race... " Commander Xiao Lie listed a series of names.

" After their gods fall, the Laws of the Godheads they leave behind are completely different. "

Hearing the word " alien race, " a glimmer of curiosity flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

In high school textbooks, over ninety percent of the content was about Abyssal beasts.

Records about alien races were extremely rare, usually just mentioned in passing.

Many students even thought that humanity's only enemy was the Abyss.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and roughly guessed the reason.

Without reaching that level, knowing too much about the existence of alien races and the cruelty of the Star Domain battlefield would only crush the confidence of ordinary students.

University was the place that truly screened Star Domain warriors.

" The Machine Race uses stars to forge Divine Kingdoms, the Zerg rely on devouring planes to reproduce, and the Protoss are naturally attuned to the Laws of the Universe. " Commander Xiao Lie continued.

" Absorbing the Godhead fragments of alien races can allow your Divine Domain to obtain special Laws that go beyond the conventional system. But the risks are equally great. "

The two passed through the final gate and arrived at the core area of the treasure vault.

There were no shelves here.

In the entire circular space, there were only twelve transparent force field spheres floating in mid-air.

Inside each force field sphere, a Godhead fragment was Sealed.

Lin Yuan stopped and examined these twelve force field spheres.

He found that he couldn't understand them at all.

The fluctuations emitted by these fragments exceeded all the knowledge systems he currently possessed.

There were no text labels, only the pure manifestation of Laws.

Commander Xiao Lie walked to the first force field sphere on the left.

Inside floated a piece of dark red flesh.

The surface of the flesh was covered with blood vessels, still beating rhythmically, emitting a rich aura of life.

" [ Flesh and Blood Divinity ] fragment. " Commander Xiao Lie introduced, " It comes from an alien god, the Blood God. I personally beheaded it on the front line. "

" Your kin have strong mutation and flesh-and-blood reproduction characteristics. This fragment can allow your kin to obtain the rudimentary Law of Rebirth from a drop of blood. As long as your Divine Domain is not destroyed, your kin will be almost unkillable on the battlefield. "

Commander Xiao Lie walked to the right and pointed to another dusty crystal.

" [ Desolation Divinity ] fragment. It comes from a fallen lord of the Abyss. It is extremely compatible with your Wasteland Divine Domain environment. "

" Absorbing it can elevate the harshness of the Wasteland to the level of Laws. Any enemy that enters your Divine Domain will have their vitality and Divine Power drained at ten times the speed. "
