Chapter 571: Entrusted Dream
Li Hao's loud shouting came from the air. It was quite comfortable to blow in the wind after a full meal. Damn it, the wind was a bit strong; his face was almost blown out of shape. This was the taste of freedom. Awooooo~~~~~~
Verdict Anthem.
Hermia and Shilada watched as the last batch of over two thousand candidates from the four spaceships entered the battlefield. Almost everyone had come prepared, and the quality was very high; perhaps they really could select some excellent seedlings. That was until they saw someone carrying a pack and eating some kind of food... and the way he flew out so happily, which made the expression of the somewhat melancholic Hermia soften a little.
"Is this a Human? Is the level of Humans very strong?" Hermia asked curiously. From their appearance, they were almost identical to the Celestial.
"Currently, the assessment of Humans is that they have great potential, with very distinct strengths and weaknesses. In the future, they can be raised to a decent height, but it is difficult for them to produce top-tier combat power." Shilada could not help but smile. She could feel the overflowing ease and enthusiasm from this young Human.
"What a pity."
Over two thousand warriors from various civilizations had already landed on Satellite Number Six. The Verdict Anthem selection was top-tier among all the anthems in the entire Star River. Being able to adapt to various environments was a basic requirement; if they didn't have that kind of mental preparation, they deserved to fall to their deaths. In reality, all the warriors landed safely.
The blue Insectoid with Li Hao really smashed into the ground like a cannonball, directly blasting out a crater. The blue Insectoid that flew out was not only uninjured but had actually expanded by a circle. It looked at the mechanical dogs surrounding it, its small eyes showing not a shred of fear, and it roared as it charged up. It was here just to fight.
The Helavis people were quite fond of environments lacking water; it was very unfriendly to them. But the technology tree of the Sea People had climbed quite high; they were once able to contend with the Celestial. If the Star-Casting Dragon Race had supported them back then, the world would be ruled by the Sea People now. The Sea People once believed that the Dragon Race chose the Celestial because the Celestial had the shortest lifespan among the six major civilizations, which would not lead to absolute hegemony. From this perspective, the Dragon Race was right; they had order without one family dominating all.
The Celestial possessed Celestial Armament, which was a combination of technology and Universe Power. The Sea People were about the same; they were a combination of Arcane Magic and technology, only the form of manifestation was a bit different. Of course, the combat power of the Sea People in an oceanic environment was far stronger than on this kind of desolate satellite. Many of the high-quality planets controlled by the Helavis people were covered with large areas of ocean, or were completely oceanic planets.
Harsh environments had no effect on the Ghost Race. They were mainly afraid of strong light. Generally speaking, strong light would not cause instantaneous damage, but it would be very uncomfortable. Over a long period, it would have a certain impact on the body. Super-strong light sources would also affect the execution of some of the Ghost Race's abilities. Of course, in a normal environment, that was a paradise for Ghost warriors.
After Li Hao wandered around for a while, he also landed. The northwest wind was not good to drink, and this alien hurricane full of sand and dust was even more likely to bloat his stomach. By this time, a landing spot had already been set up—a decent mountain cave. With a little tidying and arranging, it was a pretty good place. The goal was survival, and he was too lazy to fuss.
... His stomach was a little hungry. He didn't know if there was anything delicious on this planet. He opened his backpack, which contained all kinds of seasonings. When out and about, one had to eat well and be full. Sometimes, due to environmental limitations, the quality would drop, but with seasonings from home, the taste would never be too bad. After all, everything could be grilled.
At this moment, Li Hao couldn't help but think of the portable space equipment others had. This was probably the high technology of the Helavis people that Romero and the others talked about. Damn it, it was really great. He couldn't afford to buy one, but if he were lucky enough to pick one up, it would be his.
Li Hao was a person who knew how to live well wherever he went.
The dim sky finally turned dark, and the temperature plummeted. Li Hao curled up into the cave. Through the cave entrance, he looked at the starry sky outside. It was truly beautiful. One, two, three... counting and counting, Li Hao fell asleep, smelling fragrant, without the slightest worry.
As a Princess, Hermia's life... was actually quite boring. Because of the disappearance of Emperor Solon, she rarely left Diwu Star. She had always longed to travel the Star River like her father and see the great worlds of various civilizations.
She looked casually at the countless split screens. There were no weaklings among those participating in the Verdict Anthem test, especially since this year was related to the highly anticipated Holy Grail War, the Empress's ascension to the throne, and a huge wave of special benefits that made all warriors drool.

These experts all came from all over the Star River for this. The Verdict level was high, but there were five major forces with the same level. However, these benefits were once in a lifetime.
Any warrior who could be selected for this year's Verdict Anthem team and become an official member could propose one reasonable wish to the Princess.
...?
A big face was sleeping soundly. He could sleep through this?
It wasn't unintentional; Hermia was indeed looking for this Human. In fact, from the moment she saw him, Hermia had an extremely inexplicable sense of familiarity, yet she had definitely seen a Human for the first time.
Is this a Human? He didn't seem much different from a Celestial, but... could it be him?
No way, she always felt this was too unreliable.
Hermia subconsciously magnified the image... he was still snoring. At this moment, Li Hao turned over, his eyes moved slightly, he smacked his lips, and continued to snore.
Somehow, one sleeping and one watching, Hermia's mood was actually quite relaxed. The Human's appearance was really like a Celestial's: one nose, two eyes, and a mouth. He even smacked his lips while sleeping...
Accompanied by the rumbling of the earth, many red lights emerged in the darkness, and waves of mechanical bodies appeared. This was the Celestial Empire's mechanical dog legion. One of the reasons why the Charks Technology Empire fought against the Celestial in the past was that the Celestial civilization enslaved...
"Fellows." Although they hadn't developed intelligence, they were considered the same kind. And it was obvious that the Celestial's technology could completely give birth to mechanical intelligence, but they had completely controlled it. They only needed cannon fodder. This was the difference and conflict between civilizations. Of course, the result was that the mechanical civilization was defeated.
Then... then the Charks Mechanical Empire became the main production supplier for the Celestial's three major forces' needs for mechanical products.
If you can't beat them, join them. They were also tough people. In the war against the Zerg, the Mechanical Race also contributed.
Tens of thousands of these tiger-wolf-like mechanical dogs were released. They weighed about ten tons, were armed to the teeth with Titanium, and had various target information in their memory banks. At the same time, their eyes could release lethal death rays. Their combat power was astonishing, and they also had various reconnaissance functions: anti-concealment, heat sensing, ultrasound, etc. Visually measured, they were more flexible than Human Light Type Mecha, had fiercer firepower than Heavy Armor, and also possessed super-strong collaborative combat capabilities.
They covered the entire airdrop range. Besides this, there were giant Mechanical Beast Demons this time. These belonged to the monster-level overlords among mechanical bodies, the crystallization of the Mechanical Race's technology. Even mature Anthem Warriors only had the option of fleeing in panic. To defeat them, one basically had to rely on an Anthem Warrior team.
The first night was a very difficult night. Screams were constant. Even the Ghost Race, who were most adept at Concealment, suffered pursuit. They were extremely mobile and understood the strengths and weaknesses of the vast majority of the creatures in the Star River Alliance.
One-on-one, facing a mechanical dog, the vast majority of the candidates could solve it with a little time. Basically, the Celestial present all had powerful Spirits, and some even carried Celestial Armament, which was enough to cope. The main difficulty was the group combat of the mechanical dogs. This was where they had a headache. Once discovered, they would almost be surrounded and suppressed within a few minutes.
Of the over two thousand candidates, half were screened out in one night. Some passed, and some were eliminated.
During the selection, encounters were inevitable. There were alliances, and there were those who kept their distance. Of course, there were also grudges. At such times, they could also be resolved. Regarding this, all the major anthems maintained a neutral attitude. Civilizational conflicts would never stop, and this was also a way to vent.
The second day, Li Hao, who was starving and hadn't found a single hair to eat, prepared to lie flat on his stomach. At least this could save physical strength. Anyway, he could sleep during the day and sleep at night. But some people didn't want him to sleep. The place he chose really had extremely strong concealment; several waves of mechanical dogs hadn't discovered him.
But that Orc still tracked him down. A consensus had already been formed on the Orc side: running to Human territory was a bit outnumbered, but if they saw a Human elsewhere, kill.
The Star River Alliance had a saying: there are millions of Galaxy pirates, and the Lalutu Orcs account for half. The reputation of these ghosts was just that bad.
Daoku Gu finally found this Human. With the Orcs' unique tracking ability, he had locked onto Li Hao's scent on the spaceship. It was just that this Human had run really far and hadn't fallen to his death. At this time, Daoku Gu was wearing the exclusive Orc...
Sanyou Novel
"Beast Armed"
... armor, his whole body shrouded in armor, and his Titanium Claw was already a bit impatient.
Whether it was Sea Martial Arts, Dragon Martial Arts, Ghost Martial Arts, or Beast Martial, they were all derived from Celestial Martial Arts. This was also the mainstream of the Star River Alliance. The Beast Martial tailored for Orcs could bring out the Orcs' offensive characteristics, which were very sharp.
Similarly, Hermia also saw this scene in the surveillance. During this time, she had been observing Li Hao. She felt as if she had made a mistake. How could it be him?
Currently, in this state of being unable to protect himself, except for his optimistic mindset which was the same as hers, there didn't seem to be any common ground. How could the person her father entrusted to her in a dream be him?
She would come to check on this person's situation every day when she had nothing to do. It was very fun, and he even liked to talk to himself. Every time she saw this person, Hermia wanted to laugh, but when she saw Daoku Gu, she couldn't laugh. Thinking that this Human was about to be dismembered, Hermia suddenly felt a bit of pity. She had actually spent some time understanding the conflict between Humans and the Lalutu. The situation of the Lalutu was known to passersby. She knew the Orcs' notoriety and felt that Li Hao had a lot of backbone.
As an Empire Princess, she of course knew that the weak must bear the fate of the weak. Even she herself was the same; this was the law of the universe. However, his optimistic attitude over the past two days had brought her some relief and ease. A person whose fate was so tragic could still face life so calmly.
"Los-Rik." Hermia said.
"Give this Human a passing spot."
