Chapter 105: Majestic Alien Battlefield, the Grand Rampart of the Mighty Great Wall
It can be seen that the Alien Battlefield is definitely far from the Human Race settlement area.
This teleportation lasted unusually long, far exceeding any previous teleportation.
Jiang Chen silently counted the time in his mind.
Thirty seconds passed, yet the teleportation had not ended.
During this time, they had already moved far beyond the jurisdiction of the Shenlong Empire.
The teleportation kept going, carrying the two farther and farther away.
Until two minutes later, the teleportation finally stopped.
Jiang Chen sensed the surrounding aura, a atmosphere completely different from that of a city.
It was a barbaric land filled with evil and blood‑stained aura, accompanied by a chilling and foul smell.
Jiang Chen furrowed his brows; he had once felt a similar aura in the Battle Space.
Especially during Abyss Demon invasions, the aura became even stronger.
"This is the Abyss's aura," Hong Jishi's voice rang in Jiang Chen's ear.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes and found himself standing on a Teleportation Array.
Ahead was a massive hall constructed of steel.
Floating above the hall's ceiling was a sphere, its surface covered with countless eyes that kept rotating.
Hong Jishi pointed at the sphere and said, "That is the Demon‑Watching Eye, used to monitor the Abyss and prevent surprise attacks."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Feng Xiu had mentioned that the Alien Battlefield is the site of the great war between humans and the Abyss, but Jiang Chen knew little about it.
Hong Jishi led Jiang Chen away from the Teleportation Array; they entered a castle, its towering walls rising all around.
The walls were lined with soldiers, each a powerful practitioner radiating a strong aura.
Jiang Chen felt they were all at least Level 40+, having already achieved Second Transcendence.
However, when they saw Hong
Jishi, it was clear that their eyes were filled with reverence.
Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Do they all know you?"
Hong Jishi pointed to the Five-Star Badge on his shoulder and replied, "They don't know me, but they recognize this Five-Star Badge, especially the five stars on it."
Jiang Chen didn't quite understand the badge's meaning.
Hong Jishi continued, "You'll have one later; let me go handle the paperwork first."
The castle was huge; they walked along a corridor for a while and finally arrived before a separate hall.
It was bustling here, with many people coming and going, all apparently queuing to process something.
Jiang Chen saw a sign on the door that read, "Sergeant ID Office."
This place is dedicated to issuing Sergeant IDs.
Hong Jishi was clearly a regular here; he walked straight in through a side door.
The side door led to a modest office where a person was buried in paperwork.
The person didn't look up, merely saying mechanically, "Turn right after exiting the office."
Hong Jishi frowned, patted the table, and said irritably, "I don't have time for this; process it quickly."
The person, upon hearing that, became very displeased and was about to lose his temper, but when he saw the Five-Star Badge on Hong Jishi's shoulder, he instantly stood at attention and saluted, "General, greetings."
Hong Jishi's expression improved slightly, and he said coldly, "Issue him a Sergeant ID."
The person immediately changed his attitude, saying enthusiastically, "Alright, I'll process it right away."
Jiang Chen handed over his Shenlong University ID Card.
The Shenlong University ID Card can be used here as well.
In fact, the Shenlong University ID Card works nationwide.
There is
Having it, you no longer need any other proof of identity.
Everyone will look at you differently because you are from Shenlong University.
Even after graduation, the ID Card will stay with you for a lifetime.
The person took Jiang Chen's ID Card to complete the paperwork.
A few minutes later, the person returned holding a white badge.
The badge looked exactly like the one on Hong Jishi's shoulder.
Except it was white and bore no markings.
Holding the badge, Hong Jishi led him away.
"Take care, General."
The person watched Hong Jishi leave all the way before turning back.
Wiping sweat, he muttered, "Goodness, Five-Star Divine General, how could such a great deity come here?"
He quickly looked it up, and his whole complexion changed.
In the Shenlong Empire, there are only a handful of Five-Star Divine Generals, and the one matching the person before him is "Hong Shen!"
"It's Hong Shen!"
The person was extremely excited and rushed to report to his superiors.
Hong Jishi took Jiang Chen to another spot and said, "This is the Sergeant ID; keep it on you, don't store it in your inventory."
"That way, when you kill Abyss monsters on the Alien Battlefield, it will automatically record your merits."
"White denotes the lowest private, followed by black soldier rank, silver Military Rank, gold colonel rank, and purple general rank."
"The stars above represent your Military Merit at this level; the more merit you have, the more stars."
"The ten‑star promotion system is used; exceeding ten stars lets you advance a level."
"Someone like me is a Five‑Star Divine General; in the entire Shenlong Empire, there are no more than ten Five‑Star Divine Generals like me."
"Hong Jishi spoke with a hint of smugness, which Jiang Chen could naturally hear."
"He indeed has the qualification."
"Hong Jishi's battle"
"His achievements are so numerous they are countless."
"They could all be written into textbooks and praised by the whole nation."
"Jiang Chen recalled that once, three Demon Kings from the Abyss led a massive army, somehow found a way into Human Race territory, and launched a surprise attack on a City of the Shenlong Empire."
"In that City, professionals were scarce; as the City was about to fall, hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants were about to become food for monsters."
"In desperation, Hong Jishi descended like a celestial deity."
"Single‑handedly, he crippled the entire Abyssal army."
"The three Demon Kings: two dead, one wounded, they fled in rout."
"In that battle, Hong Jishi fought to the death without retreat, was gravely wounded, and was nearly on the brink of death."
"In that battle, Hong Jishi had no support, no assistance, no healing."
"In that battle, Hong Jishi sealed his divinity and has since been called Hong Shen."
"Hong Jishi's reputation was forged on the battlefield."
"With respect, Jiang Chen placed his Sergeant badge on his shoulder."
"Exactly like Hong Jishi's."
"Hong Jishi led him to a magnificent hall."
"Hall of Heroic Souls!"
"With his badge on, the Hall of Heroic Souls' guards respectfully saluted him and did not block his way."
"Countless tablets stand within the Hall of Heroic Souls."
"The entire hall is surrounded by a wondrous aura."
"Jiang Chen entered, feeling solemn reverence."
"Hong Jishi said, 'This is the place where the ancestors of my Shenlong lineage are enshrined; they fell on the battlefield and remain heroes forever.'"
"'Even after death they do not return home; with the power of their souls they continue to guard the Shenlong Empire.'"
"Then he spread his hand, clenched his fists, and respectfully performed the ancient Shenlong rite toward every tablet in the Hall of Heroic Souls."
"Jiang Chen followed suit."
"Now, Shenlong junior Hong Jishi, implores the empire's ancestors to protect my junior!"
"Now, Shenlong junior Hong Jishi, implores the empire's ancestors,"
"protect my junior!"
"Now, Shenlong junior Hong Jishi, implores the empire's ancestors, protect my junior!"
"Hong Jishi repeated it three times, each utterance louder and more solemn than the last."
"In the Hall of Heroic Souls, countless tablets thundered, emitting brilliant light that illuminated the hall, and an illusory high tower rose from the radiance."
"Though the tower was small, its majesty was imposing."
"The black tower exuded a grim, lethal aura."
"Hong Jishi said, 'This is the Demon‑Slaying Tower; you plunge your Spirit and will into it, leaving a mark!'"
"So this is the Demon‑Slaying Tower."
"Jiang Chen didn't ask why; he obeyed outright."
"Hong Jishi continued, 'In this way, even if you die on the Alien Battlefield, we have a way to revive you, leaving you a sliver of hope.'"
"Jiang Chen looked at Hong Jishi in astonishment."
"Finally he understood what his 'protect my junior' meant."
"Summoning the ancestors' will within the Hall of Heroic Souls is no easy task."
"Jiang Chen saw that Hong Jishi's Five‑Star Divine General badge had lost a star at that moment."
"It had become a four‑star badge."
"To give him that sliver of hope, he forcibly consumed one star."
"Thank you!"
"Jiang Chen was deeply moved; he had a thousand words but didn't know how to speak."
"In the end he could only utter two words."
"Big men don't bother with thank‑you; when you go to the Alien Battlefield, stay safe and just kill more enemies."
"Come, I'll formally tell you about the matters of the Alien Battlefield."
"It wasn't until now that Hong Jishi got to the point."
"The Alien Battlefield is the front line where the Human Race collides with the Abyss."
"Unless you charge into the Abyss, this is the main battlefield."
"All nations have outposts here, with Fortress after Fortress forming a defensive line."
"The Shenlong Empire is one of the strongest Human Race nations,"
"and its fortresses are extremely powerful."
"The Shenlong Empire's fortresses are called the Eternal Great Wall."
"There are nine fortresses in total, aligned in a straight line, each spaced over a thousand kilometers apart."
Formed the Eternal Great Wall.
On the wall are peak fire platforms, equipped with demon‑watching eyes, with professionals stationed year‑round.
The fortress they occupy is Fortress No. 1, also the frontline bridgehead.
Since the Eternal Great Wall was built, it has never been breached by Abyss monsters.
Unlike other nations, which are often breached by Abyss monsters, suffering heavy casualties.
They would frequently request aid from other nations.
In the Alien Battlefield, there are many Instances of various sizes.
The Human Race enters Instances to obtain equipment and raise their level.
Abyss monsters will block the Human Race, preventing entry into Instances, or ambush them when they exit.
Both sides fight extremely frequently, constantly ongoing.
The closer to the Abyss, the higher the Instance level, and the more dangerous.
Within these Instances, there is a special group.
They call themselves the Dragon Race and possess some intelligence.
Their combat power is strong, and they can drop some decent materials.
In fact, they are not true dragons.
The Human Race can use these materials to forge equipment, and the Abyss monsters naturally try to stop the Human Race.
"The battle before the Instance is the most intense, the most dangerous."
"You must be careful when you go."
"Before you set out, be sure to bring a Teleport Stone."
"Because Abyssal Power is present, the Teleport Stones here are single‑use items, and there is a chance of failure, so bring several."
"Also, Abyss monsters use Curse; anti‑Curse medicine should also be taken."
Jiang Chen said, "Alright, but what if I run out of Cooldown Talisman energy?"
Compared to
Other matters, he is more concerned about this.
