Chapter 452: Yellow Springs Netherworld
Baichuan Star Council is the heart of the entire Sanjiang Star Federation.
Representatives from all countries and forces are members of parliament here, and they jointly decide everything in the federation.
In the yard in front of the Parliament Building, there is a stone that glows with green light placed in the center. It is protected by an energy shield outside and is surrounded by heavily guarded guards who forbid others to approach.
This is a world stone, the world stone of King Yanjun. After it was drifted to Baichuan Star, it became a treasure of the entire federation.
Placing it in the most conspicuous place is also for the convenience of guarding. No one can take the World Stone away in public.
If this World Stone could only be entered by people at the Black Hole Stage at most, the Parliament would still be reluctant to use it as a selection site for the concentration camp for people under the age of 100.
Today is the day when the selection begins. Whoever is fortunate enough to become one of the twenty lucky ones going to the Fire Kirin Empire will be born in this World Stone.
People from various major forces also gathered here. The larger forces even gathered tens of thousands of people, while the smaller ones only had a few to a dozen people.
There are even many people who enter alone. As long as they can get in and come out safely, they will probably be able to find some cosmic crystals.
So there are a total of 200,000 people entering the World Stone this time, of which only 100,000 are from major forces, and the other 100,000 are lone rangers who do not belong to any force. If they want to enter, each of them needs to pay a fee of 1 billion.
Despite this, people still flocked to enter, and the 100,000 places were snapped up within a day.
The Federation has already earned one hundred trillion before the selection even started!
******** Hansha brought fifty people from the Behemoth Alliance to the parliament compound.
This yard is very large, and even hundreds of thousands of people seem sparsely populated here.
"Lin Zhen is there!"
Cao Yang was the first to see Lin Zhen and immediately greeted him loudly.
Lin Zhen was observing the World Stone from a distance. When he heard Cao Yang's shout, he turned and walked towards the people from the alliance.
Hansha and Jerry looked Lin Zhen up and down and felt that Lin Zhen's strength seemed to have improved, but they couldn't tell how.
Before, it seemed that Lin Zhen’s realm was only at the Liuxing Star level, but the strength Lin Zhen showed was definitely more than just Liuxing Star level. Everyone who looked at his realm felt as if they were seeing flowers in the fog.
Sure enough, when I looked at Lin Zhen again today, I felt like he was a ninth-level comet.
Hansha and Jerry absolutely did not believe that this was the result of Lin Zhen's practice over this period of time. After all, no matter how much he practiced or how talented he was, it was impossible for him to make such great progress in less than a year.
The only explanation should be that Lin Zhen was hiding his abilities. He was deliberately concealing his realm. Although no one knew what method he used, he did it.
Maybe the current comet is also hiding its true abilities, it's never certain.
"Lin Zhen, how do you feel about your recent training?" Han Sha asked in a low voice.
“It should be good.”
"That's good. Jerry and I have discussed this. After you go in, it's best to go quietly alone. Don't get involved with too many people, and don't encounter any large forces. Ensuring safety is the most important thing. As long as you can get out of the World Stone, no matter what rank you get, we will take you to the Fire Kirin Empire."
Lin Zhen nodded, "Don't worry, I will ensure your safety."
"Well, be careful of Babel and Apocalypse Mining. Babel has fought with you before, so Jin Haonan will easily take revenge on you. As for Apocalypse Mining, after Holly was driven away by us, he returned to Apocalypse Mining and declared that he would definitely take revenge on us. If you are discovered, you will definitely be their first target."
Lin Zhen nodded again, indicating that he had taken note of it.
"Besides them, there are also Dixin Qionglou, Dragon Totem and Qingluan Society. These are all gangs. They have no psychological pressure to kill people and rob goods. Be careful not to encounter the brigade headquarters."
Lin Zhen said that he had taken note of them one by one, and finally Hansha gave Lin Zhen some medicine, all for healing.
After thanking Hansha and the others, the call for assembly was heard in the parliament courtyard.
Everyone began to gather in front of the World Stone, with soldiers helping to maintain order as they prepared to enter the World Stone.
When the long line was formed, an officer said loudly: "Listen carefully, everyone. The World Stone will last for three months. If you come out after three months, your results will not be counted."
Everyone knew this, because they would set out for the Fire Kirin Empire in three months, and anyone who came out later would naturally be eliminated.
"According to what we know, we have determined that the way to leave the World Stone is to go to the No-Return Road. However, because the only person who has explored the World Stone is dead, no one really understands the situation. So there is a whole new world over there. You are the pioneers of this world. We can only tell you some of the things we know."
"Every place with a name must have a treasure of King Yanjun there. Whoever gets it will own it. The Federation will never force you to take it. Of course, if you are willing to sell it to the Federation, we will also give you a very good price."
Most warriors curled their lips. The Federation probably couldn't afford to purchase King Kai's treasure. It's better to save this kind of talk to fool three-year-old children.
Seeing that there was no effect, the congressman immediately changed the subject: "There are also very important cosmic crystals. Half of the cosmic crystals you obtain must be handed over to the Federation, and the other half belongs to you. If it is an odd number, the extra one also belongs to you."
The warriors present all nodded. They were all aware of the situation. The amount of cosmic crystals determined their ranking in the Yellow Springs Netherworld. After counting, half would be returned to each person.
"Each of you has a number plate on your chest. The number plate contains the power of the anti-world. When you can't hold on any longer, you can activate this power. You will be teleported out in one minute, but you will not achieve any results, and all the cosmic crystals you have obtained will be handed over."
Staff members started distributing number plates to everyone and the process was completed quickly.
This thing can be separated from the World Stone, but no one will use it easily. Entering the World Stone is a rare opportunity, and no one will think of coming out unless they make enough money.
If it really is a life-and-death battle, one minute is enough to change too many things, so this thing is not an omnipotent amulet.
"You can enter now, everyone get ready in order."
People immediately became nervous and waited with bated breath for the World Stone to open.
As the countdown ended, the protective shield outside the World Stone was removed, and a rich green light emanated from it.
The green light spread over a radius of several dozen meters. The councillor shouted, "As long as you enter the range of the green light, you will automatically enter the World Stone. Start!"
The first team was from the Dimension Universe Company. This team had three thousand people. After the start, everyone flew in formation. Within just three seconds, everyone entered the range of the green light and disappeared.
Then came the people from the dimensional arena, who also disappeared quickly.
Then came the people from the Sanjiang Council, the military, the Galaxy Behemoth Alliance, the four major gangs, major families, corporate groups, and countless stragglers.
A huge crowd of people entered the World Stone from all directions, like dumplings being dropped into the water, one after another.
The number of people in the square was decreasing rapidly, and after a few minutes, all the contestants had entered.
The green light began to gradually disappear, and from now on, no one could enter.
A long cordon was set up around the area, and the Speaker was personally on duty to monitor it. Since the strong men in the Star Domain Realm were here, no one dared to come and act recklessly.
That ID number plate not only has the power to resist the world, but also serves as a record. People outside can check their numbers to see whether they are safe or not.
If someone dies in there, the number plate will automatically turn black. If you kill many people, the number plate will gradually turn red, but it will not record who you killed.
******** Lin Zhen entered the Yellow Springs Netherworld, and with him came his companions from the Galaxy Behemoth Alliance.
It was still sunny outside, but when I got here it felt dark.
Looking around, the whole world was gray and foggy. Even with their eyesight, visibility still felt low.
"Wow! This world feels lifeless." A new student spoke first.
"Of course, otherwise why would it be called Huangquan Netherworld?"
"Have you noticed that there is no way to connect to the dimensional universe here, and there is no way to make a phone call."
"This is normal. This is another world. How could there be a dimensional universe system? Once here, we can only rely on ourselves."
Lin Zhen stood where he was, carefully observing the situation ahead.
Behind them was white fog, and they couldn't see anything clearly. If they retreated, they would just go around in circles forever. The only way they could go was to move forward.
"This world is a no-fly zone. There is a gravity field in the sky. The higher you fly, the greater the gravity."
There was a corrupt smell in the air, a bit fishy, a bit smelly, and it added a lot of oppressive feeling to people's hearts. The smell was indescribable.
If I have to describe it, it's the smell of death.
"Oh my god! It's really uncomfortable to stay here. I can't even breathe smoothly."
The fifty of them began to move forward slowly. They had just entered the World Stone and they had not yet separated.
But so far, they haven't seen anyone else. It seems that the teams are entering collectively. In this case, the organizational advantage of those with more people is too great.
"Someone is running over there, it's a woman!"
A warrior pointed ahead and shouted, "After walking for such a long time, we finally saw a group of people. They seemed quite excited."
Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyesight was enhanced and better than others, but he felt something was wrong.
A group of beautiful women in white dresses, their faces turned pale as if they were frightened by something, ran over in panic, waving at them continuously, as if they wanted to say something.
Among the 200,000 people who entered the World Stone, about 10,000 were women. It was normal to meet such people, but Lin Zhen felt that these women were not from good backgrounds.
Painted skin!
This name jumped into Lin Zhen's mind, making him immediately alert.
Lin Zhen gently called out to Taishan and Cao Yang, asking them to create some distance between themselves and the main force.
