Chapter 312: Responding to the

"Do you accept the Military Strategist war "Siege" summons?"

"Yes!"

"Checking character level against the minimum requirement…"

"Checking character identity against the requirement…"

"Zongwang Prompt: After responding to the summons, the minimum service period is one year! Anyone who leaves the war world without the supreme commander's order will be dealt with by military law."

"Second confirmation: do you accept the "Siege" summons?"

"Yes!"

"Transferring to the camp now!"

Mu Yi was transferred into a war camp situated in the void beyond the world.

What does the void look like?

Mu Yi had never considered this question; he had encountered the void before, but never imagined that one day he would truly be inside it.

Standing inside the camp and looking outward, the void before him resembled a dead, lightless abyssal sea, where absolute darkness was the dominant theme.

Amid the darkness, Mu Yi saw faint bluish glimmers.

Bathed in those bluish lights, countless bubbles that glimmered like distant stars floated in the dead abyss.

"These are worlds?" Mu Yi examined the faintly glowing bubbles.

In the distance, innumerable bubbles drifted in the void, drawing together and merging.

Under Mu Yi's gaze, two bubbles inexplicably adhered, and with a ripple, they began to fuse.

It signified the merging of two worlds, becoming larger and brighter.

For the bubbles, it was a simple collision, but for the beings inhabiting those worlds, a grand war—or perhaps an unimaginable cataclysm—had begun.

Not every world is suitable for life.

Mu Yi witnessed two bubbles collide, shatter, and vanish into the void.

Mu Yi knew this was not happening now but a lingering echo of the past, merely caught by his eyes.

Thus, worlds continuously merge or perish in collisions, while new worlds are constantly born within the void.

The endless collisions and fusions among worlds will eventually give rise to powerful forces spanning the Multiverse.

Such as: the Multiversal Jiuzhou that spans countless worlds, the infamous Endless Abyss, the gospel‑filled Multiversal Heaven…

These massive Multiversal powers clash according to their camps and doctrines, standing atop the Multiverse, constantly drawing nourishment from new worlds while waging wars against each other for control of more worlds.

Retracting his gaze from afar, Mu Yi looked at the nearest, most flickering World Sea.

Or should it be called the "World Tree"?

Countless giant bubbles representing worlds converged, forming a colossal tree that reaches heaven and earth, each component of the tree being a world‑bubble.

And perhaps it was Mu Yi's illusion, but the massive World Tree seemed to keep growing.

"Isn't it awe‑inspiring? When I first saw it, I was so stunned I could barely speak!"

A familiar figure approached Mu Yi.

"I remember you, Yang Tiancheng?" Mu Yi retrieved the other's information from his memory.

"Never thought you'd still remember a defeated subordinate?"

Yang Tiancheng said cheerfully; though he called himself a defeated subordinate, his sharp aura remained unshaken.

"Your army's Elite Talent left a deep impression on me!"

Mu Yi nodded, speaking kindly to Yang.

"When you have time, let's spar!" Yang Tiancheng smiled, offering Mu Yi a sparring invitation.

"Definitely!"

Mu Yi was also keen to spar and exchange with the Military Strategist's prodigy; the other's Legend‑level achievements spanned far longer, and he was curious how a Military Strategist prodigy without Zongwang would rank.

Moreover, Sun Wuzi once taught that one of the best ways for a Military Strategist to improve is to spar with masters.

"General Wei, let me escort you into the camp; he has a mission for you!"

Saying that, Yang Tiancheng led the way, guiding Mu Yi toward the camp's center.

Although the camp did not appear grand, at Yang Tiancheng's and Mu Yi's pace, traversing it took considerable time before they reached the main tent at the center.

"Some kind of spatial technology?"

Mu Yi stroked his chin, sensing that the camp seemed merely a camp, yet was actually a world‑like entity formed by folded spaces.

Still, even a Legend mage's tower could employ such technology, let alone a war god's camp.

The soldiers moving through the camp exuded formidable vigor, each radiating a iron‑blood aura; to Mu Yi, this batch possessed at least Transcendent peak strength, comparable to the regular heavenly and underworld troops of the Heavenly Court and Underworld.

Moreover, the talent aura they emitted was familiar to Mu Yi—it was the aura of the Ten‑fold Mastery.

Speaking of it, the creator of the Ten‑fold Mastery Elite Talent happens to be General Wei.

Mu Yi stepped into the main tent, and the moment he entered, he felt an overwhelming pressure.

The abyss‑like pressure from both sides of the tent instantly conveyed the might of the senior officers seated within.

The entire tent was saturated with the Military Strategist's distinctive war‑gear aura and a dense blood‑qi feeling, the atmosphere thick with a grim killing presence.

To Mu Yi's surprise, the left side of the tent seated clearly martial officers, while the right side held officers with strategist traits, seemingly split into civil and military factions.

Their commonality was a faint yet terrifying pressure emanating from both.

Seated on the main seat, General Wei appeared unremarkable, exuding no pressure, his expression solemn and dignified, filled with a restrained, self‑contained fury.

When Mu Yi entered, everyone's gaze fixed on him.

Mu Yi sensed curiosity and scrutiny in those looks.

At that moment, the collective stare made Mu Yi feel as if confronting a great horror.

The cold aura seeped through Mu Yi's body, making his hair stand on end.

A sound came from nearby as if hundreds of thousands were fighting: the clash of metal, painful wails, and the fresh spray of blood.

I don't know if all the Military Strategist disciples who come here to report have to go through this—a show of force upon dismounting?

No, Mu Yi could feel that these gazes were mostly curious, as if they had long known his name.

However, Mu Yi didn't think the affairs of the Military Strategist hall would be known by so many people.

Strictly speaking, they do know that, no matter how you say it, Mu Yi is also the new champion of the Hundred Schools Assembly, which also gives the Military Strategists some face.

Alright!

Wei Qing calmly uttered two words, and the pressure on Mu Yi instantly vanished, while everyone also withdrew their gazes.

"Mu Yi, you have already proven your ability by bringing glory to my Military Strategist at the Hundred Schools Assembly, and your presence here likewise proves your strength!"

Wei Qing's voice carried praise, of course he didn't mention the Military Strategist hall affair, but instead spoke of the Hundred Schools Assembly.

Mu Yi, hearing this, felt somewhat enlightened— originally, not everyone is qualified to come here, right?

Besides, the requirement is merely Level 10 and above; some currently have combat strength not even matching the soldiers in the camp, and the aura unintentionally emanated by these officers could probably crush them to death.

It is estimated that every person sitting here has the strength to slay an adult Dragon.

After all, Yang Tiancheng, who possesses legion talent and brought him in, is merely seated at the very end of the camp tent.

"I have several missions here; you can freely choose!" Wei Qing's words made the seated Yang Tiancheng's face change in shock.

Wei Qing is a steady type, dislikes adventure; without eighty percent confidence, he basically won't assign the task, after all Wei Qing also doesn't want those Military Strategists serving as vanguard to perish so early in war.

The purpose of the forward skirmish, aside from laying the groundwork, is none other than training Military Family Descendants, and a low‑intensity war is the best choice.

Correspondingly, the officers endorsed by Wei Qing will tackle the more difficult objectives.

Wei Qing kept him in the main camp instead of sending him out on a mission, which means Wei Qing thought his strength was insufficient to fully handle the situation, yet Mu Yi still received approval.

This made Yang Tiancheng very curious about how far Mu Yi's power had progressed; he could only confirm that everyone who arrived here was Inner Qi detached (Legend).

And during the original Hundred Schools Conference, everyone's attributes were suppressed, revealing nothing beyond that.

Beside them, an officer in a scholar's robe projected a light‑shadow projectile in front of Mu Yi.

Mu Yi glanced over and found that these tasks were essentially very violent, saturated with the Military Strategist's style.

"D-series task #1: eradicate the Howling Moon tribe on the Ke Er Duo Grassland."

Note: at least two Legends belong to a large tribe that worships the weak‑grade deity Moon Wolf God.

A, B, C, D—only tasks involving Legends are D‑level; Mu Yi is somewhat curious about what level the preceding ones represent.

Yet would such an overt extermination of a tribe that depends on a deity for survival truly cause no problems?

Or perhaps this is actually a prelude to some new plan?

"D-series task #2: kill the Legend Bimon in the Savage Mountains and sell its corpse to the Keli Dynasty."

Note: this Bimon belongs to the divine‑son line and possesses a medium‑grade divine power Bimon‑god bloodline.

"D-series task #3: capture the Human Kingdom's Black Forest Fortress."

Note: the fortress houses at least one Legend who commands over 30,000 Transcendent soldiers.

"D-series task #3: seize the Elf Kingdom Saikoli Tree Fortress."

Note: the fortress contains at least one Legend who commands over 20,000 Transcendent soldiers.

Mu Yi examined the tasks displayed by the light‑shadow and saw nothing but more fighting, but he keenly noticed that when non‑orc races are involved, their deities are generally not listed, meaning no divine‑power interference appears.

According to the intelligence he currently understands, this world is a sanctuary of the Orc deity system, effectively cutting off the possibility of other divine systems' deities descending, since landing in the Orc deity's stronghold makes outcomes uncertain.

The Orc deity system never reasons; if not for the Orc God's strength being among the top in all divine hierarchies, the Orc system might have been eradicated long ago.

The Military Strategist chose to start from this world for that very purpose.

However, this does not mean that other races in this world lack divine protection; likely through some exchange of interests, they also have deity worship, though only a handful of gods exist.

Far less prosperous than the divine factions in other worlds.

Moreover, these deities only perform their divine duties and assume no other responsibilities.

Mu Yi thought it over and still chose the D‑2 task.

Swarming individuals—that's his specialty.

After all, his advantage lies in being able to carry an army with him; even the War God needs a camp akin to a divine realm to transport a massive force. His ability to have troops at his side is, in a sense, quite terrifying.

"Go!" Wei Qing said without further words, directly dispatching personnel to escort Mu Yi via teleportation straight to the Savage Mountains.

Their infiltration of this world has already reached a level where a full‑scale war could be sparked at any moment, but for Wei Qing alone, the casualties of an outright battle are too great; gradually trimming the enemy's wings first is the proper way.

Especially at the Legend level, even a faint presence can affect the outcome for Wei Qing, and it indeed counts as a factor.

Hundreds of Legends banding together for a strike are a minor nuisance for a War God who fights with massive armies; at least such a coalition can tear a gap in the front line, affecting the whole force.

Wei Qing himself does not possess god‑level personal might; he must rely on a massive army to reach that level, rivaling deities of great divine power.

In a sense, as a War God, Wei Qing is on equal footing with the world's supreme deity, the mighty Orc God.

Being able to influence the entire army also means being able to affect Wei Qing's fight against the Orc God.

For the Orc God, subordinate deities and followers are merely accessories; its own strength is paramount, and at most the subordinates can amplify it.

For Wei Qing, his own power is merely an accessory; the officers and troops under him are the main strength, and he can instead boost their power.

The early odds between them might be a 6‑4 split—Wei Qing six, Orc God four—but Wei Qing worries about war losses, so he initiates a call‑up, leveraging the Military Strategist's forces to improve his chances.

Mu Yi's role, then, is to kill followers and Legends, shifting both sides' win rates toward a 7‑3 or 8‑2 balance.
