Chapter 278 Battlefield

Chapter 278

The more Lin Xia used the survival system, the more she felt that it was a divine object combining technology and energy.

Remembering that the arena has a rule that allows people from the main world to come and watch the matches after reaching level 5, Lin Xia pondered for a moment and then activated the function.

A teleportation function has been added to the survival system.

Everyone who was building their new home received the news, and they were all very curious. Lin Xia had set up ten free teleports for the first time.

After that, teleportation will require energy stones, which is why there are so few people now, otherwise it would be a huge burden.

I'll just consider this a trip to broaden my horizons.

When Ji Wei returned, he brought back a lot of information he had gathered. Because Lin Xia had advanced to level 5, their actions here were much less hindered.

There was no longer any open or covert recruitment, whether through civil or military means.

But none of this information was of any real benefit, so Lin Xia flipped through it and tossed it aside. Ji Wei, on the other hand, was very excited and picked it up to look at it again and again.

"By the way, Seventh Sister, that woman came again. This time she looked even more pitiful. She wanted to join our camp, but I refused." Ji Wei said calmly, "I don't know what she was thinking. Does she think we should pity her just because she's a woman?"

"Even now, you still subconsciously believe that women are soft-hearted. Isn't that just looking down on women? How interesting."

"That woman too. If she had genuinely asked for help, I would have helped her. But instead, she tried to drag us all down with her. Is she out of her mind?" Ji Wei said, pursing her lips.

Lin Xia then thought of the man who had challenged someone of a higher level: "How is that man doing?"

"He seems honest enough. Is it possible for Seventh Sister to enter his world?"

Lin Xia nodded. She could go, but there was no need. She didn't want to be an intruder. That man was unlucky to be chosen to challenge her.

Thinking about the future on the front lines, I realized that it's best to trust the people around you: "Let him take on the challenge himself."

Ji Wei nodded: "That's true, they're dispensable. If they don't behave, we'll just kill them."

Ji Wei wanted to challenge himself to improve his level, so Lin Xia wanted to go back first. Before she could leave, Ji Wei disappeared in front of her.

The aura emanating from the opposite space in that instant confirmed to her that it was the 'front line'.

Lin Xia paused in her tracks, intending to leave, and sat back down. She had to wait and make sure Ji Wei was safe.

Lin Xia then took out the information that Ji Wei had collected and carefully examined the news related to the 'front line'.

The 'Frontline' is a special place. Since when did invaders start arriving there? Their presence can be felt throughout almost the entire void.

At first, the opening was very small, and the monsters that entered were diluted across multiple universes, attracting no attention at all. Then the opening was torn wider and wider, and more and more monsters entered, wreaking havoc on multiple universes.

This attracted the attention of a powerful being, who began to trace the source and eventually found the gap. However, monsters were continuously entering through this gap.

Even if everyone works together to close it, the other side has already discovered the gap. If one side tries to repair it, the other side will destroy it. There is no way to shrink it. At most, they can only maintain the status quo.

Sometimes the battlefield expands and more people are teleported in. Then, powerful beings repair the damage, stabilizing the battlefield and reducing the number of people who need to leave.

In order to defend this place, they established rules: this is a place where all universes must participate in the war, and everyone has a responsibility.

Therefore, once people grow up, they all need to come here to fight, and the number of people depends on the situation of the battle.

Everyone has a place they must defend. Only by defeating a certain number of enemies can they have a chance to return. And even after returning, they must create their own opportunities, clear out the enemies, and allow time for handover.

Most importantly, energy stones can actually be used there, but using them will attract more powerful monsters to steal them.

This requires careful control of energy output, minimizing the use of energy stones, and quickly clearing out monsters.

Ji Wei knew all of this. Lin Xia wasn't too worried about her, but she still wanted to see her come back with her own eyes.

Instead of going back, Lin Xia paid attention to the people who came to watch the battle. Because of the pull of their energy, Lin Xia could sense them as soon as they appeared.

People gradually arrived, and Lin Xia noticed that many of them left looking dejected, probably because they were devastated.

After waiting for two whole days, Ji Wei finally returned. Lin Xia finished her practice and looked at Ji Wei. Her face was pale and she looked disheveled. As soon as she saw Lin Xia, she raised her hand and quickly took out an energy stone to begin recovering.

"Seventh Sister, the battlefield has expanded, and there are many more people going this time. We need to be prepared." Ji Wei said solemnly.

“This battle isn’t about each person being in charge of a specific area; it’s a chaotic battlefield with beastmen causing trouble. Although we’re restricted by the rules from directly intervening, those beastmen are truly cunning.” Ji Wei’s eyes were filled with disgust.

"Okay, I'll pass the word down. Go back when you're all set. Don't go to the battlefield for a while. Remember to guard the home base," Lin Xia instructed before returning to the world with peace of mind.

She sent a notification to everyone. It was a good thing that Ji Wei went there once; at least someone was home, so their house wouldn't be raided.

When Ji Wei returned, she found that the world seemed to have changed drastically. Although people were still sad, they had cheered up and started a new life.

The area is sparsely populated, and people gather near the main island of Dongcheng Island. Some bolder people have started to fence off land and build their own houses, with well-planned front and back yards.

Lin Xia saw that the research base had also been built, and it was bustling with activity as new weapons and technologies were being developed.

......

Everything is looking good, and people keep asking if their parents are safe, and whether the quiet areas are still safe.

Some people specifically answered that, upon hearing that it was not yet open, they were accepting of the fact that no news was good news.

Someone was posting in the chat channel.

"At least I still have my parents..."

"Yes, I'm still alive. My parents will be able to see me when they come back."

“I’ve lost my son and daughter, but at least I have an older sister. When she comes back, I can tell her about my struggles. That would be nice.”

"My mom is gone, how am I going to explain this to my dad...?"

"My brother is gone. My dad might say, 'Why wasn't it me who died?' The thought makes me afraid to even think about it..."

"What should be done about those whose children have all died when they return?"

“I made a promise with my friends that whoever is alive will help take care of the other’s parents. I’m still alive, so I need to work hard to earn money so I can take care of four sets of parents.”

"I have to take care of three couples. My family is really a huge burden. I'm looking forward to the three times more pressure to get married in the future. It's been a long time since anyone has nagged me about it."

"My husband is older than me, so I thought he would look younger than me when he came out. I never expected that this old lady would become a superhero and look twenty years younger. Tsk, he's still a lousy old man."

"Can we still take it?" someone asked jokingly, seeing the overly somber atmosphere.

"With some cultivation, you can still have sex. When you were young, you were incredibly handsome."

"Hahaha..."

...

No matter how many lives have been buried, this planet remains vibrant, and life on it continues to thrive.

Because of that great battle, the overflow of energy made the plants on Dongcheng Island extremely lush, causing many tall buildings to tilt.

People are busy building houses and grabbing land, so Xie Cheng is extremely busy.

She felt she was right. If a planet was a cell, then their lives were parasites on the planet, meaningless and even harmful to it.

Seeing people even more obsessed with farming and land acquisition after the disaster, Lin Xia smiled. Farming is in the blood of Chinese people, while real estate is something that was forced out of them later.

The same dedication.

Now that superpowers are so strong, building houses and farming have become much easier. People with different superpowers help each other and plan according to the regulations that Xie Cheng came up with.

From above, houses of various colors and types quickly appeared amidst the trees, and the areas where plants had been removed were soon transformed into neat fields.

Nowadays, people are more inclined to get closer to nature, to feel the energy in nature, and to build houses in a way that suits their own characteristics.

Scientific research also tends to focus on the use of energy.

After watching for a while, Lin Xia stopped looking. Thinking that she hadn't had a proper chance to explore this world since the reconstruction, Lin Xia decided to divide it into areas and delineate dangerous and special zones.

The world was indeed much larger. She moved slowly forward, invisible in mid-air. The area of ​​Blue Star was indeed much larger, and the seawater had receded considerably.

The location of Dongcheng Island is quite good. There is a large landmass not far away, which is much larger than Dongcheng Island. However, it is covered with dense forests and the trees are all unusually tall. Various insects are also very large.

There were also some mutated fish jumping around on it, as if they had left the water source, and all evolution seemed to have accelerated exponentially.

It seems that it will take time for people to conquer this land.

There are many small islands scattered around, and the creatures on them are still very weak. Lin Xia ignored them and let them develop freely.

Looking at the endless mountain range, Lin Xia thought of the Ten Thousand Mountains and wondered if this place would become a good place for people to go on adventures in the future.

As they traveled north, it grew colder and colder until they reached the Arctic, where Lin Xia saw a world completely frozen in ice.

There was no trace of life, and everywhere was silent. Especially in the very center, there was an ice spirit mine, which emitted ice spirit energy that radiated in all directions, making the temperature here extremely low.

In the past, people would not have been able to get close to this place at all. However, as their cultivation level increases, they will definitely be able to go further. It is just unknown what kind of life will emerge here in the long years to come.

At this moment, Lin Xia suddenly realized that her life level had been raised, and she might have a long life ahead of her to observe the evolution of life here.

Thinking about all the excitement she would see in the future, she suddenly became happy.

Continuing to look around after bypassing the Arctic, Lin Xia saw the Fire Spirit Mine and many large mineral veins, which were causing the land's former appearance to develop in an extreme way.

The cold places were even colder, and the hot places were like ovens. Fortunately, the place she chose was quite nice, with mild weather.

Without the interference of the ocean system, the temperature there is truly ideal for survival—a perfect location!

Lin Xia used an array to enclose areas that were too dangerous.

For example, the primeval forest she saw was filled with twice the amount of poisonous gas and miasma.

For example, a low-lying valley floor filled with natural formations.

For example, a mysterious place that is nurturing rare and precious materials.

For example, energy stone mines that are all of the highest quality.

......

Lin Xia was on a treasure hunt, her enthusiasm growing throughout the journey...

After exploring the island, Lin Xia returned to the floating island and saw that Ji Wei and the others were already waiting for her.

"Seventh Sister, I've inquired, and the [Team Card] can be used to form teams at the front lines." Ji Wei said with some interest, "Once our people's cultivation levels have improved, we can form teams to go."

Lin Xia nodded: "It's not safe now. If we all leave, it won't be safe if the beastmen come. We should split up and go separately."

"Yes, I heard that things aren't going well for Mu Xue. The beastmen are always harassing her, but they don't show themselves. They just rain every now and then, which is very bothersome for her," Ji Wei sighed.

"Don't worry, when I came back I heard that their psychic had gone back," A-Tong said casually as she brewed a pot of tea.

"That's great. Being able to stay on the front lines for so long must mean their strength has improved tremendously." Ji Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although it's dangerous, the energy there is incredibly dense. No wonder those monsters keep coming back," Ji Wei sighed.

"I wonder what it's like there. I really want to go and see for myself." Lazy Cat picked up his tea and gulped it down.

He glanced back and said, "Sigh, all my parents do these days is practice cultivation. They don't cook a meal for days on end."

"Why are you even eating?" Ji Wei asked him.

"I'm greedy, my mom really doesn't cherish me anymore. The old couple built a house in the mountains, grow vegetables in the backyard, flowers in the front yard, and keep cats and dogs, but they don't take care of me anymore..." Lazy Cat said sourly.

"Show-off! You should be secretly happy to be this lucky." Ji Wei rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

"Hahaha... No one else is here to talk to me except you guys~ Look at all of them, they've all gone crazy with their cultivation." Lazy Cat felt very lonely.

"If you're so bored, go contribute to the population. You have such great talent, don't waste it." A-Tong glanced meaningfully at the tea that Lazy Cat had gulped down.

Lazy Cat pouted: "Sister Tong, even my mom told me, 'Don't have a baby! I won't have time to take care of you! You'll have to take care of yourself if you have one!'"

"Haha, this reverse operation is brilliant, but jokes aside, population is indeed a problem." Ji Wei wasn't actually that worried, speaking casually.

"Yeah, people live long lives. We're only in the aftermath of the disaster, what's the rush? I'm afraid the houses will appreciate in value after we're born." A-Tong pouted, oh, the pain of the past.

“You know what, you really shouldn’t say this.” Ji Wei nodded: “Tell Brother Cheng to make plans now. Dongcheng Island is where we started our business. Don’t let anyone who’s not involved go up there.”

“That’s right, there will definitely be many sects in the future. It’s good to secure territory first. By the way, are you guys going to start your own sect?” Lazy Cat’s eyes lit up.

"I'm not going. If I leave, who will take care of Seventh Sister's mess?" Ji Wei glanced at Lin Xia.

Lin Xia looked at Ji Wei for a few seconds and nodded sincerely. Ji Wei immediately beamed with pride.

"Go by yourself if you want!" Ji Wei said, looking at Lazy Cat.

"I'm not going. Why would I want to? I just feel like this feeling of watching the world develop from a distance... tsk... how wonderful it is, hahaha..." Lazy Cat laughed arrogantly.
