A World Worth Protecting-Chapter 790: A Refusal!

“This name is so lousy!” After forming his army and imprinting its name, Wang Baole left the Ice Phoenix Legion. However, Wang Baole, while on his way to the base the sect assigned him, was still sighing within his battleship.

The donkey and Little Wu weren’t far away from Wang Baole. The former laid there, occasionally making noises expressing its comfort. The latter was massaging the donkey with one hand while looking at Wang Baole from time to time. He was secretly scared and very regretful for suggesting that name. He was scared that this lunatic would beat him up again.

As Little Wu let his imagination run wild, Wang Baole looked at the cosmos outside his battleship after sighing. According to the location that the sect assigned him, his army base was some distance away from the Sovereign Planet.

After all, only the top ten armies could be assigned one of the satellites around the Sovereign Planet. So the trip from the Ice Phoenix Legion to his base would take around five days.

A planet that’s smaller than the moon… Taking out his jade scroll and confirming the coordinates, Wang Baole wasn’t dissatisfied. Instead, he felt that this wasn’t bad. Meanwhile, he was also thinking about how to build his army.

It’s not suitable for me to recruit soldiers, and I don’t have that much energy to do so… So the best method is actually how I defeated the Ink Dragon Legion previously—becoming a one-man army!

Thinking for a while, Wang Baole made a decision. Therefore, he closed his eyes and meditated silently. Several days passed in a flash. As Wang Baole neared his base and the small planet appeared in his consciousness, he opened his eyes and saw a purple planet in the cosmos outside his battleship!

This planet was like a gemstone embedded in the cosmos, exuding a gentle glimmer and dispersing waves of Spirit Qi. This made the small planet’s surroundings feel hazy.

Wang Baole’s eyes shone as he controlled his battleship to near the planet rapidly. Sensing the small planet’s Spirit Qi, his eyebrows furrowed. He understood why this seemingly decent small planet would be assigned to him as his base.

The Spirit Qi on this planet seemed plentiful, but in reality, it couldn’t be sustained for long. Moreover, it was obvious that part of the planet’s Stellar Source had been dug away, making the inner part of the planet seem empty.

It was because of this that life on the planet seemed normal on the surface. The planet was lush with greenery, but this couldn’t continue for long. Wang Baole estimated that, if no human interfered, the planet would become a wilted planet in around 200 years at most.

I won’t need 200 years! Wang Baole didn’t bother himself too much with that. With a flick of his body, he brought the donkey and Little Wu away from the battleship and stepped onto the planet assigned to him. Because it was assigned to him, it also had the name Soul Rift… the Soul Rift Planet!

The moment he arrived, Wang Baole thoroughly checked the small planet. He even went to the inner area’s empty sector to explore. Finally, when he confirmed that everything was fine, he set up his army’s base within the planet’s inner area. He then took out all of the remaining construction puppets from his storage bag.

After giving his orders to modify the planet and produce self-destructing battleships, he ignored the donkey and Little Wu, who were playing on the Soul Rift Planet. Wang Baole sat on a mountain peak on the Soul Rift Planet’s surface. Looking at the stars in the sky, Wang Baole started thinking about the most important thing regarding his army. That was… its rank!

During his time in the Ice Phoenix Legion, Wang Baole had gained a fairly comprehensive understanding of the Divine Eye civilization’s army ranks. He knew that within the Divine Eye civilization, armies were split into 19 ranks!

Only the armies of the three greater sects could reach the top 12 levels. Meanwhile, armies of the lesser sects occupied the bottom seven ranks.

For example, after the Ice Phoenix Legion rose to fifth place, they entered the second rank. As for the top-ranked armies, there were only three in the entire Divine Eye civilization—the strongest army of each greater sect.

As for Wang Baole’s newly formed Soul Rift Legion, it was only at rank 12. Despite this, his army’s ranking still far exceeded that of the Holy Crest Sect army he was a part of previously. It was only at rank 17.

Rank 12… It should enable me to obtain more heritage from the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons, right? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. The true reason behind him wanting to form an army was to get the heritage within the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons.

At that moment, since the army base was already confirmed and the construction didn’t really require his involvement, Wang Baole thought about making another trip to the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons to obtain heritage.

With the level 28 Divine Justice Shield and his late-stage Soul Conduit realm cultivation, he wasn’t scared of the Ink Dragon Legion’s commander.

Even if there was someone who eyed the bounty, unless it was a Spirit Immortal that attacked, Want Baole was extremely confident that his opponent would be unable to trap him.

But after thinking, Wang Baole brushed away that thought. After all, while he could obtain some heritage if he went to the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons again, it would be hard for him to obtain everything. At the same time, if he went there too many times, it would form a fixed pattern and bring him some unwanted trouble.

So, the most important thing to me right now is to raise my army’s rank!

And the way to do so is to challenge other armies… Once I win, I can replace them! A glimmer appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes. Challenging one another, that was the rule of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. It was just that the number of casualties couldn’t exceed a certain amount.

At the same time, he would need to expend a lot of resources every time he applied to challenge another army. Also, if he lost, he would need to pay even more reparations since he was the challenger.

For example, the previous challenge against the Ice Phoenix Legion was like that. Afterward, with the eleventh army at the forefront, the Ice Phoenix Legion was given an astonishing amount of resources. This compensation almost completely emptied the eleventh army of its resources and greatly crippled them.

If only a lesser sect would come and challenge me. Wang Baole was rather envious of the Ice Phoenix Legion’s luck. But after thinking, he felt that with his army being the lowest-ranked army within the greater sects, it wasn’t impossible for him to be challenged by a lesser sect.

It was just that the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect already had harsh requirements for resource contributions when greater sect legions tried to challenge each other. However, compared to what the lesser sects applying for a challenge had to pay, the former requirements seemed comparatively gentler.

Within the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, lesser sect armies were allowed to challenge greater sect armies. They could also get promoted and replace the greater sect army if they won, becoming a direct subordinate to the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and enjoying countless conveniences.

However, such events required extreme sacrifices just to apply for the right to challenge. They were extremely astonishing. Not only did they require one of the top five greater sect armies to be a guarantor, but they also required the lesser sect army to cough up resources hundredfold to successfully obtain the right to challenge.

Such a price was basically impossible to afford for a large majority of lesser sect armies. Even if they could afford it… once they lost, not only would they have to cough up an even more horrifying amount of resources as compensation, but they would also have to yield and become the subordinates of the army they challenged!

Such harsh conditions made occasions where a lesser sect army challenged a greater sect army more of a political move. Although they would occasionally happen, they mostly communicated and discussed things with the army that they were going to challenge beforehand. In the end, the challenge would merely be for show.

Because he knew this, Wang Baole could only sigh as he started pondering over which army to challenge to raise the rank of his army.

But just as Wang Baole was pondering over which army to challenge, an uninvited guest showed up at his Soul Rift Planet!

It was a middle-aged man wearing green robes. He exuded a cold aura that belonged to someone of power. Stepping on a bronze-colored giant fish, he seemed to treat the cosmos as an ocean. He treated the Soul Rift Planet, which Wang Baole was on, as a stone at the bottom of the ocean. He didn’t truly descend, looking down at the planet from the heavens instead!

His appearance covered the cosmos, and the entire sky was filled with waves that his bronze fish created as he exuded the aura of an early-stage Spirit Immortal.

He looked down at the planet like a deity, staring coldly at Wang Baole, who was raising his head and meeting the man’s gaze while standing on a mountain peak.

“I am Yi Nianzi from the Green Kraken Legion!”

“Under the orders of Commander Gu Mo, I am here to recruit Long Nanzi’s Soul Rift Legion as a subordinate to the Green Kraken Legion. You will pursue future actions under the lead of the Green Kraken Legion!”

The green-robed man spoke coldly while in mid-air. Raising his right hand and waving it down, a resplendent glimmer immediately transmogrified in his hand and exploded forth, becoming a shooting star that headed straight for Wang Baole. In the end, after stopping in front of Wang Baole, it transformed into a green bamboo scroll!

The bamboo scroll exuded a mighty aura, as though it was some form of testimony!

“Long Nanzi, leave your imprint and seal your wholehearted allegiance to the Green Kraken Legion into this scroll!”

Looking at the green bamboo scroll in front of him, Wang Baole had an ugly expression. After focusing his gaze on Yi Nianzi for a few breaths of time, he replied coldly.

“I refuse!”
