Chapter 462: Chapter 462: The Consumption of 1000 Units of Creation Energy Please continue reading on ΒOXΝʘVEL.ϹΟM . The MK-204 Crystal Wall System, with ‘MK’ indicating that this crystal wall system is quite distant from the Main World, lies on the outermost rim of the Main World’s influence and is also the outermost perimeter of the many crystal wall systems explored by Radiance. The reason an outpost base was built in this crystal wall system is naturally because the system possesses sufficient strategic value. This is a mid-to-large-size crystal wall system with its Crystal Wall Origin Will and supernatural powers. According to the information Lin Xiao could access, it has been preliminarily determined to have certain development value, but the specific value needs further exploration. Therefore, the First Military Region under Radiance’s Yanhuang No.1 Super War Fortress established a large outpost base here and dispatched a division to garrison the area. Although it is not the main division, with the division’s organization present, the scale of the garrison reveals the First Military Region’s emphasis on this crystal wall system. After all, according to past patterns, a mid-to-large-size crystal wall system theoretically has the potential to give birth to great beings. Yes, just theoretically. Theoretically, a mid-to-large-size crystal wall system, under the right conditions, can give birth to great beings. Now the military has established a large outpost base here, with a division stationed, and the highest-ranking military official is a major general, which shows the importance they place on this crystal wall system; otherwise, the normal military presence in crystal wall systems would be at the rank of school-level officers, like in the AX-14 Crystal Wall System where the Lin Xiao Family is located. Of course, right now, the military has only preliminarily assessed the possibility, which doesn’t guarantee that this crystal wall system will give birth to great beings. In fact, most of the crystal wall systems assessed to potentially birth great divine power, upon final exploration, are found to be incapable of nurturing such beings. But whether they can give birth to such beings or not, as long as there’s a possibility, it warrants thorough exploration. Traveling through Radiance’s exclusive channel, Lin Xiao came to Yanhuang No.1 Super War Fortress for the first time – a super war fortress located in subspace, like a sun-like super flame sphere. The Yanhuang No.1 War Fortress is the first super war fortress built by humans, under the jurisdiction of the super forces led by the Brilliant Super College. The fortress is even larger and stronger than Yanhuang No.5 Super fortress. Through an exclusive military channel, over two thousand students from the whole grade, divided into several classes, boarded a large void warship, escorted by five military void battleships. They traveled for half a year in a different domain, crossing countless billions of kilometers of chaotic void to reach a fireball that seemed to burst forth with red flames on its surface. (vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display("vi_765923973")}) From the outside, this crystal wall system appears like an M-class red giant in space, its shining red spectrum visible from afar. This crystal wall system is quite conspicuous in the chaotic void, with nothing to conceal it. Before confirming sufficient value, the military had not erected a super array to shield the existence of this crystal wall system. The void fleet journeyed through billions of kilometers of chaotic void to the crystal wall system, docking at the large outpost base fixed on the red flame-emitting outer shell of the crystal wall system. The red flames erupting on the surface of this crystal wall system are real flames, a manifestation of energy leakage from within the system. Though the temperature is not as high as that of stars, it can easily melt steel, so the outpost base fixed on the surface of the crystal wall must continuously activate its energy shield. At the same time, the outpost base can continuously extract energy from these flames to power the base, achieving a balance where only a small amount of energy is consumed to maintain the base’s basic operations in non-combat situations. This phenomenon of energy leakage from a crystal wall system is not common in the chaotic void. Usually, the outer crystal wall of a crystal wall system functions to protect the system by preventing external energies from entering the world, with its main purpose being to conceal and isolate the system. Yet, this crystal wall system’s energy is constantly leaking out, which is not normal by standard accounts. Logically, such continuous energy leakage would only be seen in a world whose origin has shattered. However, according to the information available to Lin Xiao based on his military rank, the initial data obtained by the First Military Region after a long period of strategizing this crystal wall system suggests that the world’s origin does not seem to be broken, which is strange. But this information cannot be taken as accurate because Lin Xiao is affiliated with the Fifth Military Region, and this is the First Military Region’s territory. Moreover, since he is not really part of the military’s high echelons, it is normal for him not to have access to the real data. Of course, Lin Xiao isn’t particularly interested in this. What does it matter if he knows the truth? It’s not like he’s planning to intervene. If he were now a full colonel with real power to control a Level 3 battlegroup, perhaps… well, still no. The highest-ranking officer at this outpost base is a major general division commander, and as a battlegroup commander, he doesn’t qualify. As the void battleship slowly docked at the outpost fortress berth through the high-temperature flame storm, Lin Xiao collected his various scattered thoughts and, along with his girlfriend, gathered in the battleship’s largest cabin, as instructed by the broadcast. All the 2,200-plus elite students from the entire grade were here, assembled by different classes. Looking out over the crowd, heads were everywhere, and occasionally, the glow of various anomalies could be seen flashing. Having reached their level of strength, they could generally control and conceal their own anomalies. Lin Xiao’s head no longer showed any inwardly contracting black holes or magic cubes, appearing no different from an ordinary person. However, there is still a small number of second-generation rich who didn’t gain entrance to Brilliant Super College based on their own strength and who can’t control their aura with ease, or can only barely do so, revealing their aura when emotions fluctuate greatly. All class heads and teaching assistants were present at this joint large class, and several top-level college officials were there as well. In addition, they would have the cooperation of the garrison at the outpost base, protected by a fleet throughout their stay. Strictly speaking, these students rank quite high within the entire Radiance System, even higher than the outpost base itself. As the saying goes, children are the future of the country; they may face harsh realities upon entering society after university, but during their studies, they are the flowers of the nation that receive extra protection and attention. It was much like Level 3 Lin Xiao remembered about the college entrance examinations. On the day of the exams, everything would make way for the examinees, even if running a red light resulted in a car crash, the other party would still cautiously apologize and the traffic police would escort the student to the examination hall. But once the exams were over, if one failed to enter college and started working early, crashing into someone’s car right out of the examination hall still warranted a cautious apology, except this time it was you apologizing to the car owner, and the police would escort you to the station. A difference of just one day saw the treatment diverge as drastically as heaven and earth. At this moment, a light screen popped up in front of Lin Xiao’s eyes, displaying the content of the class that the class teacher had sent out to everyone. He was quite surprised as he looked at the content on the light screen. The content was simple, boiling down to just two words—”Drifting.” As the word suggested, they would be placed into an unknown void within the Crystal Wall Universe next. Yes, a void, not a plane; this time they would be directly put into the chaotic void. Then they would have to rely on their own skills to drift in the void and find a valuable plane within a set time. This task was extremely risky, unlike the large-scale classes from their high school stage. Back then, even when descending into a plane, there were teachers to watch over them, but this time being released into the void, there were no teachers to watch over them. Any mishap would mean the fall of an incarnation. Given the danger of the mission, everyone would descend as avatars. At this time, the girlfriend that Lin Xiao was holding hands with was her regular Divine Power Incarnation, not a Divine Position Incarnation. The second phase of the class was to find a valuable plane in the void and, relying on personal strength, somehow establish a Spatial Waymarker to contact the Outpost Base outside of the Crystal Wall System. After that, it would be possible to return. The main difficulty of this class lay in how to survive in the frightful void and how to find a valuable plane in the aimless and directionless void, then, with bare hands, conjure various materials to build a Spatial Waymarker and return safely. As for the way to evaluate their grades, it would naturally be based on who could find a plane the fastest. Then, assess the value of the plane and the achievements made within the found plane within the set time. Just finding a plane would certainly not earn the same grade as establishing a stable foothold and a force on that plane. The task time was thirty years, equivalent to one month in the Main World. “Can we team up?” Lin Xiao raised his hand and asked. The surrounding classmates all looked up, interested in this detail too. Jin Sisi looked over and nodded, saying: “Teaming up is allowed, but scores are calculated individually. If two students descend together and discover a plane together, the scores for the joint action will be split between the two when the grades are assessed.” Lin Xiao understood. It meant that if two people teamed up and only found one plane, they would split the score for that plane, which certainly wouldn’t be as good as the score of a student who found a plane on their own. Of course, if the plane that two people cooperatively discovered was very valuable, then even if they split the score, it would still be better than those students who on their own only found ordinary planes. So… Lin Xiao looked at Shen Yuexin, and she looked back at him with a slight smile. As if their minds were connected, he understood. That’s when he suddenly heard someone beside him let out a light “Eh?” “Are there additional rules behind?” Lin Xiao quickly scrolled down on the light screen in front of him, and indeed, there was new content. Judging by the title, it was indeed an additional set of rules. Upon a closer look, his face showed pleasure as these supplementary rules were in his favor. Normally, each student could only descend as one avatar and then summon no more than a thousand members of their Clan to descend with them. This could be done before descending using a space artifact for transport because the Main World’s strength hadn’t fully permeated this Crystal Wall System. Once descending into the depths of the void in the Crystal Wall, it was impossible to open the Divine Realm to summon the Clan. The Clan members summoned could not be recalled after entering deep space. They either had to succeed in establishing the waymarker to return or die out there. Under normal circumstances, every student could summon the same number of Clan members, but this additional rule suggested that students with official military ranks could receive a certain extra amount of summoning capacity, or use other items to substitute.
