A pleasant female voice entered Ender's mind, "Big guy 'Atlas', why don't you join our team?"
"Big guy..."
Hearing this address, Ender shifted his gaze to the five Spiritwing Clan members and saw Naviya, who was rated as an 'Elite World Master Fighter', looking at him, her beautiful "big eyes" blinking occasionally.
"With four World Master Generals protecting her, Naviya's identity should not be simple. Her team's strength is probably considerable, which will allow me to quickly earn 1 billion military merits."
Ender asked via telepathy, "How strong is your team?"
"I just got news that our team is an Elite World Master team, with two Immortals, seven World Master Generals, and one Elite World Master Fighter."
Naviya replied via telepathy, "A World Master team, including the captain, has a roster of 11 people. Our team currently has 10 people, only missing you."
"Two Immortals, seven World Master Generals..." Ender nodded to himself, "The team composition is good, I can join."
An Elite World Master team with two Immortals meant that the team would be involved in many battles, and with Naviya, a person of special status, he would have many opportunities to act in the team, allowing him to quickly accumulate military merits.
"Your team's strength is good, I am willing to join you." Ender said via telepathy.
Seeing Ender agree to join her team, Naviya's joyful voice came, "That's great, the Life Guidance was right after all."
"Life Guidance?"
Listening to Naviya's words, Ender asked curiously, "What is Life Guidance?"
"Life Guidance is Life Guidance." Naviya replied as if it were obvious.
Hearing such a reply, Ender was a little speechless. Seeing that he couldn't find out what Life Guidance was from Naviya, he used a trace of his consciousness to search the Virtual Universe Company intelligence System.
"Life Guidance, one of the top three special abilities of the Wood Gene Energy Awakening, a characteristic of 'Life Affinity', which guides 'Life Affinity' special ability users to places with rich life energy."
After checking the information, Ender secretly thought, "Isn't this similar to a treasure-hunting ability? It just searches for places with rich life energy."
Places with rich life energy usually have some resources used for cultivating plant life, or even are plant life directly, which is a very useful special ability.
"I have the special ability 'Source of Life', and my Life Gene level far exceeds that of normal humans. My life energy and aura are already rich and powerful, and now they are continuously activated for a long time. It's normal for Naviya to be guided by Life Guidance."
Ender also understood why Naviya had sought him out on Yi Li Star; it turned out she was guided by her special ability.
...
On the other side.
After refusing the invitations from those World Master veterans, the five Spiritwing Clan members headed towards a relatively open area in the World Master camp.
While flying, Naviya spoke, "Sister Nuwa, I've found the last member of our team."
"Hmm?"
Nuwa, the Spiritwing Clan female World Master who was very close to Naviya, was surprised when she heard her princess's sudden words.
Then, she asked, "Your Highness, why did you think of inviting others to join our team?"
"I was thinking that our team was still missing one person." Naviya replied, "So I invited that big guy to join our team."
Nuwa carefully asked, "Did he agree?"
Naviya puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Life Guidance is never wrong. Under my invitation, he agreed to join our team."
Hearing their princess's proud words, the other three World Masters couldn't help but smile.
"Ah..." Nuwa sighed helplessly, "Since Your Highness invited him to join our team, why didn't you let him come with us?"
"Oh, right..." Naviya paused slightly, then was about to turn around and fly back, "I'll go call him."
"Forget it, let someone else go." Nuwa shook her head slightly, then said to a fellow clan member, "You go and invite him over."
"Understood." That World Master nodded slightly and flew away.
...
On the other side of the World Master camp.
After Ender joined Naviya's team, he refused the invitations from the other World Master veterans, but to his surprise, the five Spiritwing Clan members had already gone far.
If it weren't for the World Masters' ability to see very far, he might not have found the whereabouts of the Spiritwing Clan group.
Shaking off the entanglement of the World Master veterans, Ender walked towards the direction where the Spiritwing Clan members were. It was at this moment that he saw an Spiritwing Clan World Master flying back.
"Hello, Atlas." The Spiritwing Clan World Master flew to a position parallel to Ender's line of sight. "My name is Harvey, and I welcome you to our team."
Looking at the handsome Spiritwing Clan male World Master in front of him, who was still just over a meter tall, Ender nodded, "Hello."
"Please follow me." The Spiritwing Clan World Master Harvey said, turning around and flying in the direction he came from, "We're going to gather."
The two headed towards the open area in the distance. Along the way, Ender saw one human or allied alien race after another. Due to the special nature of the Extraterritorial Battlefield, allied alien races were easily seen in the Barracks Base.
"Harvey, what is the identity of Naviya, who just invited me to join your team?" Ender asked.
"She is a princess of our Spiritwing Clan." Harvey replied directly, "She is an outstanding direct descendant of our Spiritwing Clan King."
He did not conceal it, because as soon as Ender joined their team, he would soon know Naviya's identity.
"King?" Ender asked curiously, "Who is your Spiritwing Clan King?"
"An King Level Immortal, King Ling Wing!" Harvey said proudly.
Ender nodded slightly, "So that's how it is."
Apparently, Naviya was a direct descendant valued by the King Level Immortal King Ling Wing, otherwise, so many guards would not have been arranged to protect her.
...
Soon.
Ender and Harvey arrived at the dining table where the Spiritwing Clan and others were seated.
The four Spiritwing Clan members were all sitting in wide dining chairs. Naviya was eating delicacies in small bites, while Nuwa occasionally wiped her mouth.
"Big guy 'Atlas', you're here." While eating, Naviya didn't forget to greet Ender.
Seeing Naviya's "wise" gaze, Ender had no intention of correcting her address. He just nodded gently, then his human main body entered his World Ring, switched to his avatar, and sat at the dining table.
Naviya looked at Ender's highly realistic avatar, feeling very curious, and her eyes showed a hint of eagerness.
"Your Highness." Nuwa noticed Naviya's gaze and calmly stuffed a few exquisite pastries into her hand.
After her princess's attention was diverted, she said to Ender, "The other members of our team are rushing back to the 003 Barracks Base and are expected to arrive in four days."
"Good." Ender nodded. Four days was nothing; he could wait.
So, in the time that followed, Ender and the five Spiritwing Clan members waited for the other team members to return to the Barracks Base.
...
Five days later.
The other team members, two Immortals and three World Master Generals, returned to the Barracks Base.
They were a day later than expected, saying they had encountered some trouble on the way and were delayed for a bit.
"Atlas, hello." A Spiritwing Clan Immortal stepped forward and greeted Ender, "I am the captain of the 003-3290813 World Master team. You can call me 'Fortress'."
Fortress was similar in height to other Spiritwing Clan members, with a handsome appearance, and was wearing golden-yellow armor.
Actually, when Fortress learned that an unplanned person had joined the team, he wasn't very happy, but that thought faded when he learned that the new member was a World Master General.
This was because 30% of World Master new recruits were 'Elite World Master Fighters', but only 0.3% were World Master Generals. Sometimes, several batches of new recruits coming to the Barracks Base wouldn't have a single World Master General.
Adding a World Master General to the team was an improvement for the entire team's strength. The probability of survival when facing alien teams would increase. This was also why so many World Master veterans were eager to invite World Master Generals.
"Hello, Atlas." Another Immortal also stepped forward to greet him, "I am the team's vice-captain, you can just call me 'Lightning Flash'."
Lightning Flash was also a branch of the Winged Race, but he was not from the Spiritwing Clan.
His skin was darker, his appearance was closer to that of a 'demon', and he had a pair of wide bat wings on his back, yet he wore silver-white armor.
The light around him was somewhat dim, as if it had been absorbed by him, which indicated that he had most likely achieved Immortal status through the Law of Light.
Ender nodded in greeting, "Hello."
Then, the other World Master Generals of the team came forward to greet him.
"My name is 'Raging Flame'..."
...
After meeting and getting to know the other team members, Ender applied to join the 003-3290813 World Master team along with the Spiritwing Clan members.
After the application was approved, the team members sat together chatting and exchanging experiences from the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Ender and the others had just arrived at the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Although all except Naviya were World Master Generals, their experience on the Extraterritorial Battlefield was zero.
Even though they had collected some information, information was ultimately just information. It was better to hear descriptions and exchanges from those who had fought on the Extraterritorial Battlefield to better understand it.
While listening to everyone explain their experiences, even Naviya listened carefully, without interrupting their narration.
Immortal Fortress explained, "This Extraterritorial Battlefield, besides our Human Race, Demon race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race, the four Pinnacle races, also has powerhouses from other races who come here. Many of them are also allies of our Human Race."
Naviya asked curiously, "We have allies too?"
Fortress replied, "Of course. For example, when we enter the battlefield, we will encounter many allied forces. Although they are alien races, they are our comrades."
"Don't worry, the Virtual Universe System will remind you. If they are allies, it would have already reminded you. If it hasn't reminded you, just kill them!"
Fortress further explained, "These allies are mainly powerhouses from various races in the Universe who come to the Extraterritorial Battlefield to temper themselves, and secondly, they are our Human Race's vassals and traditional allies."
"After all, the Universe is too vast, with countless races. Even if only a very small number of powerhouses come to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, that's still an astronomical number."
"Those alien powerhouses come to the Extraterritorial Battlefield to temper themselves and also to obtain some treasures and resources from our military merit System, as many alien races' resources cannot compare to ours, the Human Race."
Fortress said, "Although the death rate on the Extraterritorial Battlefield is very high, a high death rate is what tempers powerhouses. Out of 20 new recruits, only one veteran might survive, but out of 20 Normal World Master Fighters, perhaps one 'Elite World Master Fighter' or even a 'World Master General' can be culled."
"This kind of terrifying war with an extremely high death rate, coupled with the availability of many auxiliary treasures and the ability to exchange for Secret Techniques, makes the Extraterritorial Battlefield known as the place that produces the most 'powerhouses' in the entire Human Race."
"Captain, I heard that the average death rate on the Extraterritorial Battlefield exceeds 95%!" A Spiritwing Clan World Master asked.
"Is a 95% death rate high? Not high. As far as I know, the large-scale racial battles that occur once every 1,000 eras, those are Great Battles. Those are vast and overwhelming confrontations involving countless powerhouses, where even King-level Immortals can perish if they're not careful."
"That's what you call a high death rate. It's said to exceed 99%! However, such large-scale battles cannot happen frequently. Even the Pinnacle races cannot withstand such consumption. Once every 1,000 eras is within the four Pinnacle races' acceptable range."
Fortress sighed, "Although The Great Battle is terrifying, only King Level Immortal face the risk of falling. I heard that tens of thousands of eras ago, a shocking battle occurred on the Seventh Battlefield, and many beings of Universe Venerable level fell."
"Even Universe Venerables fell?" Several Spiritwing Clan World Masters exclaimed.
"It should be more than that." Immortal 'Lightning Flash' suddenly spoke, "I heard from a Marquis-level Immortal in my clan that an incredibly powerful treasure appeared on the Seventh Battlefield. Even beings beyond the Universe Venerable level fell because of that treasure, yet no one has been able to obtain it."
"Now, that treasure is still on the Seventh Battlefield. Countless alien powerhouses come to the Extraterritorial Battlefield and flock to the Seventh Battlefield, just to obtain that treasure, which makes the probability of powerhouses falling on the Seventh Battlefield extremely high."
Lightning Flash shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Universe Level, World Master Rank, and World Master pulling down the death rate, the overall death rate on the Seventh Battlefield would definitely exceed 99%, no less than a Great Battle."
Ender listened calmly from the side. The news of the Star Tower being a powerful treasure on the Seventh Battlefield was relatively secret among World Master Rank, World Master, and even ordinary Immortals.
However, for the Marquis-level Immortal and even King Level Immortal powerhouses fighting on the continent where the Star Tower was located, it was not a big secret.
"How long until the next Great Battle?" Ender asked.
"The next Great Battle isn't far, hmm... not too short either, there are still ten eras." Lightning Flash chuckled, "Don't worry, with your identity as a World Master General, completing the military merit quota within 100,000 years will be easy."
"By the way, what's your military merit quota?" Lightning Flash asked.
"1 billion military merits." Ender replied.
As a Primal Secret Realm member of the Virtual Universe Company and having passed the World Master Rank Primal Sky Mountain, Ender's military merit quota required for tempering on the Extraterritorial Battlefield was at the highest level.
1 billion military merits was the quota he needed to leave the military organization. As long as he obtained 1 billion military merits, he could operate alone on the Extraterritorial Battlefield and continue to complete the military merit quota set by the Virtual Universe System.
"What? 1 billion!" The team's veterans exclaimed.
