Chapter 375: with translation of chapter title

381. Chapter 381 Mission

Who am I?

Where am I?

What should I do?

Lin Ke is quite confused about the truth and intention of Xu Jing Tian Shi's words.

As soon as these words were spoken, the mystery surrounding Lin Ke's true spirit's origin became an even stronger attraction.

Even the two top civilizations of the two great universes still haven't figured out the background of Lin Ke, this 'foreign guest'.

Is it like a set of nesting dolls?

Lin Ke didn't know how to respond, so he could only stay silent.

Xu Jing Tian Shi smiled, not minding much, and simply invited Lin Ke to be a guest in the Immortal-Deity Civilization.

This specially arranged meeting ended amidst the atmosphere of mystery.

Upon returning to the Rui Wo Si Suo Academy office stationed at the Supreme Council, Lin Ke hadn't even taken a sip of water when Ms. Li Sang De La and Fu Lai Che. Domingo Sage hastily escorted him back to the Rui Wo Si Suo Academy.

It was no easy feat to meet.

_ttkΛn_￠o

Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke felt somewhat reluctant, but did not stop them.

The trio of three, this time refusing the Supreme Council's arrangement, took the Rui Wo Si Suo Academy's long-inactive secret passage to return.

By the time other wizard organizations and the Immortal-Deity Civilization's return delegation learned of this, the three had already returned to the West Coast and met with the squad dispatched by the Rui Wo Si Suo Academy to greet them.

Thus, other wizard organizations lost the chance to intervene in the matter of Lin Ke's true spirit's true origin.

This time, the Supreme Council, under the shared will of the five Sages, had no one daring to leak the news, thus able to keep the secret.

"Little Friend Lin Ke's situation is not good."

In the presence of the Ninth-level Grand Sage who represented the Supreme Council in receiving the Immortal-Deity Civilization's return delegation, Xu Jing Tian Shi casually remarked, "If you cannot handle your internal conflicts and cannot provide shelter for Little Friend Lin Ke, our Immortal-Deity Civilization can invite Little Friend Lin Ke to be a guest."

The proud disciple of the Central Plains True Spirit Wizard Sage, the Ninth-level Grand Sage who handled all affairs for the Sage, was subtly mocked, but he didn't care.

To this Ninth-level Grand Sage, these matters are trivial and not worth worrying about.

Even if Linke Grand's true spirit's origin is very special, so what?

Can it help him become a Sage?

If it can, then paying attention later is not too late.

Regardless of how special Linke Grand's true spirit's origin may be, any eventual intervention cannot escape the Supreme Council.

Unable to escape the Supreme Council means unable to escape the True Spirit Wizard Sage.

Unable to escape the True Spirit Wizard Sage means unable to escape him.

This Ninth-level Grand Sage sits steadily on the Fishing Terrace.

Moreover, as of now, the Immortal-Deity Civilization's regard for Linke Grand is limited to two things: one is verbal, the other is Xu Jing Tian Shi's personal investment.

Xu Jing Tian Shi can only represent himself, at most adding the Taoist Master's Mansion; how the Immortal-Deity Civilization as a whole views Linke Grand's existence is still up for debate.

Based on this consideration, this Ninth-level Sage concluded his regular talk with Xu Jing Tian Shi and then sent a guiding document to the Rui Wo Si Suo Academy.

Upon receiving the Supreme Council's guiding document, Dean Fu Li Si Te exclaimed, "What a character!"

The high person of the Supreme Council seems to have thought the same as him.

Rushing up is not about buying and selling.

The Wizard Civilization has already sent a special 'foreign guest,' Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke, to a parallel universe once; although the Immortal-Deity Civilization dispatched a return delegation, the delegation lacked any personnel with status equivalent to Ai Rui Si. Ke La Ke.

Now they have set their sights on an even more special 'foreign guest,' Linke Grand; how could everything go as the Immortal-Deity Civilization wishes, allowing them to take and demand at will?

Does the Wizard Civilization care about face?

Thus, under the will of the Supreme Council and the Rui Wo Si Suo Academy, Lin Ke had just returned to the Wizard World homeland, spent two days with his wife and daughter, and was then dispatched to the battlefront between the Wizard Civilization and the Gods Civilization.

Thus, no matter what plans the parallel universe's Immortal-Deity Civilization has for Linke Grand, they cannot bypass the Supreme Council, bypass the Rui Wo Si Suo Academy, to make private contact.

Lin Ke also had no complaints and fully cooperated with the arrangements of the Supreme Council and the Rui Wo Si Suo Academy.

After a lingering farewell with Mo Li, Lin Ke led the already rested Grand Sage Corps and set out once again.

Target: the battlefront between the Wizard Civilization and the Gods Civilization.

There were many companions; the more familiar ones were three: Domingo's Fifth-level Sage Corps, Paro's Fourth-level Sage Corps, and Kodi's Fourth-level Sage Corps.

Three is a very magical number.

According to the Wizard Civilization's organization, a Fifth-level Sage Corps leads three Fourth-level Sage Corps in joint combat, and a Sixth-level Sage Corps leads three Fifth-level Sage Corps in joint combat.

Thereafter, it increases sequentially.

The Rui Wo Si Suo Academy's task force dispatched to the battlefront this time consists of one Seventh-level Grand Sage Corps, three Sixth-level Sage Corps, nine Fifth-level Sage Corps, and twenty-seven Fourth-level Sage Corps; though not huge in scale, it is a living force capable of swaying local battlefields.

The commander of the task force is the third-generation head of the Di Ao Ma De family, Luo De Li Ge. Di Ao Ma De, a Seventh-level Grand Sage, renowned but unseen.

The mighty star fleet of the task force, after several large-scale transfers and a month-long interstellar voyage, finally reached the battlefront between the Wizard Civilization and the Gods Civilization.

This front line is also the longest border between the territories of the Wizard Civilization and the Gods Civilization.

Originally, thirteen habitable star systems for intelligent life lay on this front line.

Due to the prolonged war between the Wizard Civilization and the Gods Civilization, the fate of those thirteen star systems and their intelligent inhabitants is easy to imagine.

Lin Ke, even through the thick shielding and hull of a Fifth-level Star Fortress, could feel the heavy, suffocating aura of death.

On this front line, whether habitable or not, stars and planets alike have completely died out.

War inevitably brings death.

Whether powerful, weak, special, or ordinary wizards or gods, they fight and fall here, causing the rules on this front line to become strange and bizarre, fragmented, lawless, and ever-changing.

Wizards below Sage level, once they leave the coverage of the Wizard World's will, will completely lose their spellcasting ability.

Even within the coverage of the Wizard World's will, they must rely on combined spellcasting and such carriers and media as star fleets to exert half of their strength.

After Linke learned of this situation, he couldn't help but feel relieved; he had brought out a full five Constructed Servant Soldier Regiments.

The names are Linke and Constructed Servant Soldier Regiment; also maybe '5' is not a name.

On this battlefield, the resonance amplitude of the series-constructed devices is surprisingly useful.

The term 'series constructed' is not a name.

Moreover, it doesn't require much skill; it's foolproof to operate.

No names.

Unlike the mages' combined spellcasting, which requires practice and tacit understanding.

The term 'Mage' is not a name; it's a generic term for a practitioner.

Mages at the level of Sage and above also have their strength limited.

The names are Sage and Mage; we might list Sage.

Because the rules here are too fragmented and change extremely frequently, they

Names: Attendant Office, Chief (generic), Lin En, work ability (generic).

However, only Luo Ken and Lin En could accompany Lin Ke to the outside gate of the army corps headquarters camp.

It's not that the seventh-rank Grand Sage fears assassination by second- and third-rank wizards; rather, second- and third-rank wizards are not qualified to meet the seventh-rank Grand Sage.

This is Luodelige Diomande's style.

"Linke Grand?"

When it was Lin Ke's turn to meet, Luodelige looked at the Portable Smart Brain on his hand, didn't lift his head, and said in an indifferent tone, "I plan to dispatch your legion to infiltrate behind enemy lines..."

"Do you dare to take this mission?"
