Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

If they can't catch up in a short time, the human race will also give up the pursuit. After all, everyone is at the realm lord level, and if the difference in strength is not widened, it will be difficult to catch up.

However, these alien races who escaped into space are not entirely safe. If they cannot find their own kind in time, death will still be their only fate.

Several days later, the war ended, and many human soldiers began to divide up the spoils of war and collect their military merits.

"This batch of resources is worth nearly a hundred Mixed Yuan Units, and each of us can receive more than ten Mixed Yuan Units of resources."

Bone sorted through all the resources the team had acquired this time and said with a happy expression.

Having experienced so many wars, this one has yielded very rich rewards. It seems that this group of alien races may have also experienced several major victories in order to accumulate such abundant resources.

"Ten mixed units."

A squad member who had just arrived at the extraterritorial battlefield had his eyes shining. He had spent countless years in the Cosmic Kingdom and had only accumulated resources of less than twenty Chaos Units.

However, a single war can yield resources equivalent to more than ten Chaos Units, so it's no wonder that any Realm Lord with a bit of fighting spirit will ultimately choose the extraterritorial battlefield.

"Hehe, you can take another look at your military merit system. The military merits there can also be exchanged for Hunyuan units," Bone said cheerfully.

Killing an ordinary Realm Lord earns 100,000 military merits, an elite Realm Lord earns 1 million, and a Realm Lord general earns 10 million. 100,000 military merits are equal to one Hunyuan unit.

Although they couldn't get all the military merits by working together, in this battle, their team killed six aliens and, together with the realm lord's soldiers, killed ten aliens. Each of them accumulated a considerable amount of military merits.

"150,000 military merits!"

The newcomer's eyes darted around; for an ordinary realm lord, joining the team was indeed a very good choice.

"However, most of these resources can only be monetized when we return to the barracks base, so let's use up what we can first, so that we don't leave them to the alien race later."

The group then began to organize these resources, striving to improve their own strength as much as possible.

……

"it's over!"

Without interference from others of the same level, all movements on the entire battlefield were under Lu Yunhe's control.

"728 aliens escaped, and 211 aliens are still hiding inside the suspended mountain."

Under the detection of a King-level detector, these soldiers, who do not even have the strength of an Immortal, cannot escape detection at all.

Lu Yunhe made no move to deal with the fleeing alien races, letting them leave as they pleased.

In any case, on the battlefield outside the domain, these escaped races will likely die at the hands of the human race in the end.

And the soldiers under his command will likely meet their end at the hands of foreign tribes.

"Even with the advantage, 1358 of these soldiers died, nearly 15% of their force."

Lu Yunhe then checked on the surviving soldiers. Since there was no possibility of surrender for the defeated alien race, even though the human race was the victor, the losses were still considerable.

After all, it is completely different from wars among mortals. Soldiers in the high-martial-world are mainly focused on killing the enemy and acquiring resources, so they are basically aiming to wipe them out completely.

"Master Yuan!"

After the war, Bone found Lu Yunhe and respectfully presented him with a world ring.

As the master of this army, Lu Yunhe naturally shares in the army's gains.

"Need not."

Lu Yunhe said indifferently that these were all supplies from the Realm Lord level or even the Domain Lord level, which he didn't even bother with.

After all, all these resources combined cannot compare to the accumulation of an immortal god.

After killing the Fire Saint Clan Immortal, Lu Yunhe tallied his gains, which amounted to approximately 300,000 Mixed Yuan Units of resources, a respectable amount for an Immortal Military Lord.

Yes, it's about the same amount of wealth Lu Yunhe gained through the Genius Battle when he was at the Stellar level.

In fact, this immortal of the Fire Saint Clan had more than just this much wealth, but unfortunately, the more valuable Sacred Fire Crystal and the armor and weapons on his body were all destroyed.

"Thank you for your generosity, sir!"

Hearing Lu Yunhe's words, Gu Tou was overjoyed. Being able to pay less in resources was something to be happy about for all of them.

"It seems our general's identity is not simple."

Bones pondered to himself that the wealth they had handed over was not insignificant, worth several hundred units of mixed yuan.

It should be noted that the wealth of an ordinary immortal god might only amount to ten thousand Chaos Units, and that is the wealth accumulated over countless years.

"Go down and leave in three days."

Lu Yunhe waved his hand. The Fire Saint Clan Immortal had made quite a commotion before his death, so this place was no longer safe and they needed to find another location.

"Yes!" Bone replied respectfully.

Three days later, everyone boarded the spaceship and left the half-ruined mountain.

Just a few days after Lu Yunhe left, a spaceship from an alien race appeared on the half-remained cliff.

"I'm late!"

Seeing that only a few small fry remained on the battlefield, the arriving alien race was somewhat disappointed. After incorporating more than two hundred Fire Saint Clan members, they set up camp on this suspended mountain, waiting for the next force to arrive.

……

As for Lu Yunhe, he went directly to the floating continent where the Fire Saint Clan's immortals had previously been stationed.

"You crippled my base, so it's not unreasonable for me to take over your home base."

Lu Yunhe arrived on a miniature floating continent, where he could still see many traces left by the Fire Saint Clan.

Lu Yunhe then released his soldiers again, while he continued to cultivate in the spaceship, comprehending the fundamental laws of wood with his other clones.

At this rate, it should take less than a hundred years to fully comprehend the fundamental laws of wood.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Yunhe had been on the battlefield outside the domain for nearly a hundred years, leading his soldiers to fight against the alien army dozens of times.

With his numerous trump cards, Lu Yunhe was able to eliminate the enemy's immortal gods in every war against the alien races, leading his soldiers to victory.

"Lord Gen is truly amazing!"

Having experienced so many wars, these soldiers all held Lu Yunhe in the highest esteem.

There's no way around it; what soldier wouldn't admire a general who can bring them victory and make them countless riches?

Having been through dozens of wars, all the soldiers not only improved their strength significantly, but their wealth also increased several times, even tenfold.

However, of the initial tens of thousands of soldiers, less than half remained. Therefore, Lu Yunhe returned to the barracks base once to replenish the number of troops.

In addition, Lu Yunhe encountered some elite human teams, and then, as a lone wolf, he joined these elite teams in hunting down the alien races.

This practice is not uncommon; many immortal deities who lead armies occasionally take on private jobs.

On average, Lu Yunhe experienced an Immortal-level battle almost every two years.

Which target should we choose next?

Lu Yunhe sat in the spaceship, looking at the coordinates of the alien race detected by the probe. Just then, an alarm sounded in the military merit system.

"Help?"

...

Chapter 218 Rescue

"Help! Help! I've encountered an Immortal of the Qiushi Clan. He has the strength of a peak Immortal Military Lord." As soon as the distress message arrived, it was sent to Lu Yunhe via the virtual universe through the Military Merit System.

The military merit system's distress call function can directly send messages to all allies and comrades within a radius of one billion kilometers.

A billion kilometers is roughly the distance of one light-hour, which is equivalent to traveling at the speed of light for one hour.

After all, the universe is too vast. If the area requiring help is too large, it will be too late by the time we arrive.

An hour is enough for an immortal god to last, unless the difference in strength is too great.

"150 million kilometers."

Using this information, Lu Yunhe quickly located the coordinates displayed on the detector.

"Master, there is a communication request. Do you wish to connect?" Delacion asked.

"Connect to the spaceship's virtual system." Lu Yunhe nodded.

Soon, the phantom of a tall man with blue skin and a golden vertical line between his brows appeared inside the spaceship. However, this immortal deity's expression was clearly very anxious:

"Greetings, ally of the human race. I am from the Golden Horn Clan, a vassal race of the human race. We beg your help. My detector cannot detect you, so I believe your strength is definitely greater than mine. The two of us working together are enough to force back that immortal god from the demon race's camp."

"Your Excellency, the Golden Horn Clan is just an ordinary race in the universe, far inferior to the human race. If I die, the clan I led this time will probably all perish here. For the sake of our alliance, I beg Your Majesty to lend a helping hand."

“Okay, I’ll head there right away. Hang in there a little longer.” Lu Yunhe nodded, then turned off the communication and told Delacion to turn around and go to provide full support.

"It's the Golden Horn Clan!"

Looking at the disappearing figure, Lu Yunhe's face showed surprise.

Unexpectedly, he did not go to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom as an inspector, but he still encountered the Golden Horn Clan.

The Golden Horned Clan is not a race of legendary golden-horned behemoths, but a group of rock-based life forms that mainly live in a secret realm within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and are vassals of the human race.

In the universe, races or forces are divided into four levels: peak, powerful, ordinary, and weak.

The strongest forces in the universe are considered the pinnacle, those with universe lords are considered powerful, those with universe venerables are considered ordinary, and the rest are considered weak.

The strongest member of the Golden Horn Clan is the Cosmic Venerable. However, although the Golden Horn Clan are rock-based life forms, they look very similar to humans. Therefore, after the death of their strongest member, Herodo, they chose to completely submit to humans and become vassals.

Vassal states also vary. Some groups simply join the human system, while others, like the Golden Horn Clan, have moved their homeland directly into the human territory, making them, in a sense, part of humanity.

"Since they are allies, let's give them a hand," Lu Yunhe said calmly, while also informing his troops of the reinforcements.

"war!"

Although they had just ended a war, the army was still incredibly excited.

Meanwhile, on a tiny continent 150 million kilometers away, the Golden Horn Clan Immortal, clad in cyan armor, was struggling to withstand the attack of the Qiu Shi Clan Immortal.

"I wonder when our human allies will arrive?" The Golden Horn Clan Immortal looked down at his people who were struggling to resist the attack of the demon race, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

These are all his clansmen whom he brought from his hometown. If he were to perish, they would probably all die here.

However, while the tribesmen struggled to resist, the Golden Horned Clan faced an even more difficult challenge in resisting the immortals.

Under the onslaught of the Qiongshi Clan's immortals, the Golden Horn Clan's immortals' defenses were crumbling, barely managing to hold on. If the conflict dragged on, they would likely be killed by the enemy soon.
