Chapter 1346: Eastern Army Camp

The world of Jin is vast and boundless.

Under the leadership of the True God ‘Beiyan,’ the 800 warriors of the Ganye Tribe, along with Luo Feng, alternated between teleportation and high-speed flight. Along the journey alone, they encountered numerous dangers, which made the tribal warriors who had never ventured into Jin’s world appear quite astonished.

“It’s long been said that Jiuyan Marsh is occupied by three Void True God-level beasts, commanding a massive force of other beasts,” Beiyan looked down and sighed in admiration. “Even the Eastern Army sends many trained warriors to attack Jiuyan Marsh. No wonder it’s so famous.”

Luo Feng also looked down.

It was an immensely vast marsh, shrouded in mist, where numerous beasts faintly appeared within the clouds. The number of True God-level existences was shocking.

This was a terrifying force, ten times more powerful than the Ganye Tribe.

“Three Void True Gods,” Luo Feng also marveled.

Actually, one could see that the world of Jin was mainly divided into two major forces: one was the tribal forces, and the other was the beast forces. Both factions were under military rule. The military was truly supreme, but to hone the warriors, they still dispatched ordinary warriors to attack beast forces and tribal territories.

However, these attacks were of low intensity and did not require the involvement of Void True Gods.

…

They continued forward.

Even Luo Feng, a ‘pseudo-traveler,’ was amazed at the sheer number of powerful beings in the world of Jin.

“The True Gods of the Ganye Tribe number in the hundreds or even thousands. In Jiuyan Marsh, there are even more, reaching into the tens of thousands,” Luo Feng mused. “The entire world of Jin has countless tribes and beasts. Then how many powerful warriors are there in the military?”

…

Under the leadership of the True God Beiyan, there was no danger along the way because they were aboard a supreme treasure warship, although everyone got a chance to broaden their horizons.

After advancing for about three months,

“We are about to arrive at the Eastern Army’s camp,” Beiyan True God gazed into the distant sky and shouted.

“Eastern Army’s camp?”

All the tribal warriors looked ahead, and Luo Feng also carefully looked forward. In the distant sky, an endless pressure spread out. As the warship advanced at high speed, the view gradually became clear, and the endless military camp was already visible.

“This is the Eastern Army’s camp,” Luo Feng was filled with anticipation.

He knew that the military forces in the world of Jin were divided into four armies: East, South, West, and North. Although all were loyal to the God King, these four armies had always been competing with each other.

“Truly vast!” As they flew closer, the warriors of the Ganye Tribe couldn’t help but exclaim.

It was breathtaking.

The military camp stretched endlessly, with countless warriors visible everywhere. The most common were naturally the Sovereigns of the Universe. In addition to the countless warriors, there were also some ‘beasts’ that had joined the military, and their various forms made all the warriors, including Luo Feng, marvel.

“What is that?”

“Ah?”

“So tall?”

The tribal warriors suddenly noticed a group of towering strange objects deep within the camp. Each of these strange objects was hundreds of millions of kilometers high, making the warriors beside them seem very small in comparison.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng also looked carefully. Each of these hundreds of millions of kilometers tall strange objects resembled ‘giant spherical fortresses.’ At a glance, there were thousands upon thousands of these spherical fortresses. In addition to these fortresses, there were also massive numbers of strange creatures like flying birds around and below the fortresses.

“They are machines!” Beiyan True God exclaimed. “They are powerful machines crafted by the mechanical soldiers.”

“Machines?”

“These are the machines that can be used by a large number of warriors together, unleashing powerful combat strength?”

“The legendary machines capable of easily killing Void True Gods?”

All the tribal warriors were extremely excited.

Luo Feng also looked at them with burning eyes. He certainly knew about the mechanical stream treasures, but previously, while viewing the inheritance of the Duandonghe lineage, he only knew about them theoretically. It was very rare to see mechanical stream treasures with his own eyes. The distant sight was now a large number of such treasures.

“Killing Void True Gods?” Beiyan True God nodded. “Yes, look at that tallest spherical machine, named ‘Jinluo Heaven and Earth.’ It requires at least one million True Gods to fully control. At maximum capacity, it can accommodate up to ten million True Gods. With a single collective attack, it can annihilate a group of Void True Gods.”

Luo Feng was greatly shocked.

Capable of accommodating up to ten million True Gods? Even in the records of ancient civilization inheritance materials, such a machine would be considered top-tier.

“The most proud creation of our world of Jin is the Jinluo Heaven and Earth,” Beiyan True God said proudly. “It uses materials with utmost efficiency, achieving peak power. And it can be mass-produced! Over countless eons, the Eastern Army alone has produced a vast number of Jinluo Heaven and Earth units. Even if all four armies’ warriors used the Jinluo Heaven and Earth, it wouldn’t make a significant dent… The Jinluo Heaven and Earth were produced in such large quantities originally for the God King’s preparations for external warfare. However, the God King hasn’t summoned his warriors for a very, very long time.”

Luo Feng nodded inwardly.

The Jinluo Heaven and Earth, such a powerful weapon, was indeed for external warfare. Such machines wouldn’t be used in the internal conflicts of the world of Jin.

“You see, those small machines like flying birds next to the Jinluo Heaven and Earth are the famous ‘Jiuxiu,’ one of the most proud machines of our world of Jin,” Beiyan True God introduced. “Jiuxiu requires at least a hundred True Gods to operate and can accommodate up to a thousand True Gods at most.”

“Jiuxiu is famous for its speed and agility, with extremely strong defense, although its attack methods are limited to just one. However, it is a very effective machine in large-scale warfare,” Beiyan True God explained.

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

Not every kind of machine is suitable for large-scale warfare.

In the ancient civilization, where powerful beings abounded, the large-scale wars between major factions were terrifying. Some machines might be destroyed as soon as they entered the battlefield. When forces are weak, machines are of great use, but when reaching the level of the third-generation ancestors or the God King, machines become relatively weak.

However, for True Gods and Void True Gods, machines are of immense utility!

Good machines must be adaptable for war, capable of mass production, and use materials as sparingly as possible… indeed, it’s very complicated.

“That God King probably perished long ago,” Luo Feng mused. “Without the God King’s summons, the armies within the world of Jin can only follow previous orders, continuously manufacturing machines and preparing forces, always waiting for the call. But they may never receive it. These machines… are probably just wasted.”

Luo Feng shook his head inwardly.

He had no ambitions for those machines.

Because…

They required too many powerful beings. The Jinluo Heaven and Earth required at least one million True Gods! How could that be achieved in the ‘Cosmic Sea’? Even the Jiuxiu required at least a hundred True Gods, which still exceeded the Cosmic Sea’s capacity.

“The ancient civilization was truly powerful,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

Such power didn’t surprise Luo Feng.

Because the existence of super mechanical stream treasures like the Cosmic Boat gave Luo Feng a vague glimpse of the top combat strength of the ancient civilization. It wasn’t hard to deduce that if a Cosmic Boat could fully unleash its combat power… True Gods? Even hundreds of millions of True Gods would be like ants.

“It’s just a pity that the Cosmic Boat was damaged and stopped forever.”

“That humanoid creature suspected to be the God King also lies there forever.”

“The previous generations of the Duandonghe lineage all perished, leaving only me…” Luo Feng shook his head. How cruel.

It was only from this world of Jin that one could still glimpse traces of the ancient civilization.

…

The Eastern Army’s camp was infinitely vast.

Approximately a quarter of the tribes and beast forces in the entire world of Jin came to join the Eastern Army. So one could say that warriors came to join every day… and since the selection process was already strict, it meant that warriors waiting for selection had long formed a line, stretching endlessly as far as the eye could see.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

As the warship landed, on the surrounding plains, one could easily see two other palace treasures landing in the distance, clearly also delivering warriors.

“Hurry, hurry out.”

“Don’t be slow, hurry up.”

Under Beiyan True God’s scolding and kicking, the 800 warriors of the Ganye Tribe and Luo Feng quickly disembarked and arrived on the plains.

“Go over there, line up,” Beiyan True God shouted. “Wait for the selection. You brats… don’t fail to join the army.”

With Beiyan True God, who was familiar with everything, leading, everything naturally proceeded swiftly.

The 800 tribal warriors, including Luo Feng, quickly reached the end of the long line and joined the queue.

“Uncle, how long will this take?” Beifeng asked anxiously.

Luo Feng also looked ahead. It was truly a sea of people, no, besides humanoid beings, there were also many beasts mixed in. Obviously, those joining the army weren’t all from tribal forces.

“Judging by the look of it, there are about 800,000 warriors in line now,” Beiyan True God scanned and judged. “At the normal speed, it should be your turn in half a month. Wait. Don’t get anxious, everyone should stay calm and prepare. The basic selection for joining the army is tough; normally, only one-third pass, while the other two-thirds perish.”

Luo Feng’s eyebrows twitched.

Two-thirds perish just to join the army?

“Don’t disgrace the Ganye Tribe,” Beiyan True God shouted, then he directly left to go talk with other True Gods in the distance. “Haha, Zan Zuo Tribe, your warriors have come too. Oh, these little ones look good.”

The True Gods chatted with each other.

Of course, Beiyan True God didn’t rush to leave. He would wait. At the very least, he wanted to see how many from the Ganye Tribe would successfully enter the army this time.

…

Time passed.

Warriors from various tribes and beasts from different territories continued to undergo the bloody selection process. Roars, howls, and cries of pain continuously came from the front, indicating that the selection to enter the army was extremely brutal. Luo Feng also kept moving forward with the line. Indeed, after half a month, it was Luo Feng and the Ganye Tribe warriors’ turn.

“The next batch, three thousand, all come in,” a beast with blood-red curved horns scanned the crowd and roared. Including Luo Feng and the Ganye Tribe warriors, 3,000 warriors (including beasts) were all led forward to undergo the bloody selection to join the army.
