Age of Evolution

Chapter 490: Advancing, Arrival!

Translator: 549690339

On the huge square of the concentration camp, six neatly arranged squads stood.

Sixty warships were ready to set off, each carrying 5,000 people, which could send all 300,000 people of the concentration camp to the Chaotic Star River Battlefield.

For this full-scale departure from the concentration camp, the Fire Kirin Empire attached great importance, with the Imperial Emperor Tian Haoyu himself coming to the scene to cheer for all the members.

Lin Zhen stood in the corner, watching the spirited emperor on the big screen.

Tian Haoyu looked quite young, seemingly about the same age as Lin Zhen and the others, but everyone knew that Tian Haoyu has been a World King for 5,000 years!

There were several World Kings in the Fire Kirin Empire, but no one could surpass the Emperor, and Tian Haoyu was the number one expert in the Fire Kirin.

“My citizens, warriors!”

Tian Haoyu didn’t need any amplification equipment, and his voice echoed clearly in everyone’s ears.

“Our Fire Kirin Empire has been established for many years, fighting in the east and the west, and has gone through the ancient wars, the ancient divine wars, and surviving in the gaps, it took billions of years to achieve what we have today.”

“The Chaotic Star River is our frontier, a natural watershed between us and the Demon Insect Empire, but the Demon Insect Empire’s heart of destruction is unyielding. If the Chaotic Star River is breached, we will face countless Demon Insect armies. Warriors, what should we do!”

“Fight~! Fight~! Fight~!”

Under the lead of some people, the crowd let out earth-shattering cries.

“Good! We must drive those Demon Insect Martial Artists back. Warriors, everything in the Chaotic Star River will be yours. There will be nobility titles and huge rewards waiting for you in the Empire as long as you win, the Empire will not mistreat anyone.”

“Now, please prepare to board the ship and head to the Chaotic Star River Battlefield.”

All Martial Artists began to board the ships one after another, with the last warship being the one Lin Zhen was on.

This warship belonged to the half-permanent crystal class, but it could also accelerate to the speed of light.

At a distance, the most watched ship was the first warship, Lin Zhen could even hear people shouting Ye Hua’s name.

Tony came to Lin Zhen’s side: “Don’t look anymore, we are not people in their world. They are pursuing the title of Duke, for us in there we are just small soldiers, cannon fodder, especially Lin Zhen you have to be careful, it’s best not to act alone, I will take care of you.”

Lin Zhen smiled, “I didn’t think about competing with him either. It’s most important to survive in the Chaotic Star River.”

“It’s good that you understand this, no matter how much wealth, if you lose your life, it’s all for nothing. Let’s go, let’s set off.”

Once on the warship, the ship soon took off into the sky, and amidst the parting drumming and music below, it accelerated into the parallel universe.

“Everyone can rest, even with the parallel universe and wormholes, it will take almost a month to reach the Chaotic Star River.”

Lin Zhen’s gaze swept over the warship, which had a Star System Stage expert named Qin Fei, who was a prince of an intermediate cosmic civilization and his father was a Domain King.

Many people flocked around Qin Fei, hoping to gain his protection in the Chaotic Star River.

Other than him, there were seven or eight hundred Black Hole Stage people, and the rest were all at the Constant Star Stage.

Among those Lin Zhen had seen, the lowest was at the Constant Star Level 6. For someone like him, who was at Constant Star Level 2, there might be just one such person in the entire concentration camp under 100 years old.

However, Lin Zhen was not in a hurry. This month, everyone would have nothing to do but to keep practicing, and a month’s time for Lin Zhen would be ten months. He could easily progress to the Constant Star Level 3, or even possibly the Constant Star Level 4.

“Chris, what level is my Star Power at here?”

Star power value was a standard for Lin Zhen to measure the power of his opponents. He could roughly sense it from their aura, but it was not as accurate as the calculations of intelligent life.

According to Lin Zhen’s estimation, he should be roughly on the same level as Qin Fei, while the others were far behind him.

Chris’s calculations lasted for ten minutes before giving a result.

“Master, Qin Fei’s star power is definitely above yours, and it should be between 600 and 700. As for the others, there are two people who are also close to 300, both of them in the late Black Hole Stage.”

Lin Zhen was surprised. He had initially thought that aside from the Star System Stage, the Black Hole Stage would be far behind him, but as expected, there were masters hidden in this place. The outstanding individuals of the late Black Hole Stage were already close to the strength of an average Star System Stage person.

Qin Fei’s star power of over 600 also shocked Lin Zhen for a moment. With his own 430 star power value, he might still be underestimated in the Chaotic Star River.

With a clear number in his heart, Lin Zhen closed his eyes.

This month-long journey must bring some improvement.

Swish swish swish~~~!!!

Among a group of sliding meteorites, several figures swiftly jumped.

Each jump covered a distance of at least thousands or tens of thousands of meters, and they were as fast as ghosts. The meteorites couldn’t harm them in the slightest.

“Quick, quick, quick! Hurry up and leave this place, the Demon Insect Martial Artists are catching up.”

“Big brother, I really can’t run anymore. Why don’t you guys leave first? I’ll cover you. Otherwise, none of us will make it,”

A Martial Artist was already stained with blood, his abdomen torn open by a huge gash, with his viscera almost spilling out. He could only forcibly seal it off with Star Power.

Two Martial Artists beside him were pulling him along, running together whenever he couldn’t move.

“Lao San, don’t say that. The Bright Tunnel is not far ahead, and once we reach it, we will be safe,”

“I’m afraid I won’t make it to the Bright Tunnel. The enemy is catching up,”

“Hang in there. I’ve heard that the Empire’s reinforcements are on their way here. They’re all geniuses under a hundred years old. They should arrive in a day or two. If we’re lucky, we might run into some of them and be saved,”

“Big brother, don’t comfort me. Even if we meet them, can they really save us? All three of us are in the Black Hole Period and are in such bad shape. Can our luck be so good that we bump into a Star System Stage soldier?”

Lao San was obviously pessimistic, feeling he couldn’t escape this disaster.

His elder brothers still pulled him to escape, such friendship among Martial Artists was rare.

“Hiss!~”

A cry came from behind, the sound of Insect Clan warriors communicating. Hearing this sound meant they were being caught up.

A group of Demon Insect warriors with powerful legs and swift jumping and flying abilities quickly chased up.

“Hahaha! You Fire Kirin Empire’s little mongrels, stop struggling in vain. No one targeted by our Locust Warriors has ever successfully escaped. Especially when you’re carrying a wounded comrade. Just surrender! Tell us the coordinates of the resource star you found, and we might spare your lives and transform you into half-Insect Clan warriors. Otherwise, when we catch you, we’ll use your flesh as a side dish to our drinks!”

“Lao San, don’t look back, the Bright Tunnel is ahead.”

“I know, I’m running!”

The Bright Tunnel was only a few thousand kilometers ahead, close to the border of the Fire Kirin Empire.

Entering the Bright Tunnel meant leaving the Chaotic Star River, and the chances of escaping increased greatly. Escaping was a gamble, betting that the enemy wouldn’t dare to chase them into the Bright Tunnel.

“Everyone, please note that we are about to approach the Bright Tunnel. Please prepare to disembark.”

All the people on the spaceship stood up and stretched their stiff muscles after a month of immobility.

“Let me remind you all that the Bright Tunnel is an important area for us to reach the Chaotic Star River, almost the only passage. This is a broken space tunnel surrounded by dense spatial turbulence. Entering the Chaotic Star River from here is the most convenient. Otherwise, it would take at least ten thousand light-years to detour around the area, which is almost insurmountable for the Chaotic Star River that cannot enter parallel universes. So, remember the importance of this tunnel.”

Everyone disembarked from the spaceship. The ships in front had already arrived, and their passengers had entered the Chaotic Star River through the Bright Tunnel. Lin Zhen’s group was the last batch.

Since leaving the parallel universe, they noticed the vast asteroid belt ahead.

This was a boundless star domain, impossible to calculate its boundaries.

The Chaotic Star River was also a renowned place, not only the battlefield between the Fire Kirin Empire and the Demon Insect Empire but also an interstellar garbage dump.

The Chaotic Star River spanned four or five advanced cosmic nations and tens of thousands of intermediate cosmic nations along its shores, with countless garbage being dumped into it.

There were countless garbage planets and many resource planets hidden beneath the garbage.

Even some interstellar pirates and fugitives, with nowhere to hide, would come to this lawless Chaotic Star River to eke out a living.

Because there was no order and no way to develop, this place was also called the Abandoned Treasure Land.

The Bright Tunnel was the gateway for the Fire Kirin Empire to enter the Chaotic Star River.

Indeed, the Fire Kirin Empire and the Demon Insect Empire had fought countless wars in the Chaotic Star River, but both sides had an unspoken bottom line: not entering each other’s gateways and keeping the scale of the war within the Chaotic Star River.

Just as the Fire Kirin side had a gateway, the Demon Insect side also had a passage called the Dark Tunnel. Their people had never invaded the Bright Tunnel, and the Fire Kirin’s people had never entered the Dark Tunnel.

If one side’s gateway was occupied, it would be a matter of life and death for an advanced cosmic nation, with the possibility of a full-scale war breaking out.

This level of war prohibited the participation of Domain King level experts, with Star System Stage being the peak combat power, as per the rules.

Lin Zhen walked at the back of the crowd, taking a deep breath of fresh air.

This was a vast battlefield, with countless opportunities waiting for him.

Over the past month, Lin Zhen had been practicing tirelessly, making another breakthrough in his realm and reaching the peak of Constant Star Level 3, almost advancing to the Late Constant Star Stage.

His Star Power also increased to more than 480, approaching the 500 mark.

This strength was truly on par with an average Star System Level 1.

Looking ahead, a seemingly unending tunnel appeared, leading to the real battlefield, the Chaotic Star River!
