Chapter 208 - 187: Invitation from the University Alliance, a Long-Lost Classmate
Chapter 208: Chapter 187: Invitation from the University Alliance, a Long-Lost Classmate
A week had passed since Lin Aoxue agreed to become Zhang Yi’s Subordinate God and signed that rather "harsh" contract.
An entire week had gone by.
In the past week,
February arrived quietly.
The day before the New Year, Zhang Yi’s parents packed their things and, along with Zhang Yi, followed Zhang Shumo back to the Zhang Family’s Old Mansion.
Although it was called the Zhang Family’s Old Mansion,
in reality, it was an estate on Blue Star’s Main Star that covered an area the size of a small town.
Within the entire estate, aside from the members of the Zhang Family, nearly everyone else was a servant attending to them.
However, the Zhang Family had few descendants.
Zhang Shumo had only one son and one daughter.
Therefore, all the family’s hopes for the next generation to flourish rested on Zhang Yi’s shoulders!
After the New Year passed,
an invitation from the University Alliance arrived.
Furthermore, it was delivered by a True God Level messenger.
Unfortunately for the messenger, when he delivered the invitation to Zhang Yi, everyone present—aside from Zhang Yi himself—was a True God Level Divine Being.
Facing the oppressive presence of four True Gods at once, the messenger handed the invitation to Zhang Yi and immediately bolted!
After Zhang Yi received the invitation from the University Alliance, he opened it and read:
"Dear Zhang Yi, it is our great honor to invite you to the University Alliance Training Camp!
The fact that you are reading this invitation means you have already passed our preliminary screening.
Therefore, on behalf of the six top universities and one hundred and twenty key schools of the Yanhuang Federation, I hereby extend this invitation for you to attend the University Alliance Training Camp!"
"..."
"Please arrive at the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress before 5:00 PM on February 12th!"
"You may proceed to XXXX in advance, where dedicated transport will be arranged for you..."
After a passage congratulating Zhang Yi on his successful selection for the University Alliance Training Camp,
the rest of the letter informed him of the arrival time and location.
They had even arranged transportation for him.
Zhang Shumo, who had stayed behind after the New Year instead of returning to guard his Crystal Wall System, had also been waiting for Zhang Yi’s invitation from the University Alliance to arrive.
Now that Zhang Yi’s invitation had finally been delivered,
after giving Zhang Yi his final instructions,
Zhang Shumo could return to the Crystal Wall System containing the Gourmet World and resume his watch.
And so, on the day after Zhang Yi’s invitation arrived,
February 4th,
the grandfather and grandson had another detailed discussion in the Zhang Family’s Old Mansion.
First, Zhang Shumo told Zhang Yi about the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress.
"The most important part of the Blue Star Federation is the world where the Main Star is located."
"After three eras of development, the entire world of the Blue Star Federation’s Main Star has been fully developed."
"And the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress is situated at one of the nexus points connecting the Blue Star Federation’s Main Star to other worlds."
"You could say that after three eras of development, the distinction between nations on Blue Star has long since vanished. Everything is now divided by region."
The region where Zhang Yi lived was the Yanhuang Region, internally referred to as the Yanhuang Federation. The neighboring White Eagle Federation, and the Holy Roman Federation next to it, were all structured similarly.
"The Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress belongs to the Yanhuang Region and is its most important War Fortress.
It’s responsible for policing the Cosmic Port, ready to suppress any incidents at a moment’s notice!
It also maintains the passage from the Main World to the Subspace."
"On Blue Star, due to the suppression of the Blue Star Will,
a Demigod who has already created a Divine Realm must first log into the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net and be authenticated before they can connect to it via a Divine Domain Connection Pod.
But if these Demigods can somehow stay in the borderlands between the Main World and the Subspace,
even without using a Divine Domain Connection Pod,
they can still directly access their Divine Realms."
"That’s why the University Alliance Training Camp is located at the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress.
It can both test them, allowing them to experience the Subspace directly,
and also serve to protect them, ensuring their safety!"
After Zhang Shumo finished explaining to Zhang Yi why the University Alliance Training Camp was located at the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress,
he asked Zhang Yi the most critical question:
"What do you think is the ultimate purpose of holding the University Alliance Training Camp?"
Regarding this question,
Zhang Yi, with his past-life memories, gave his own answer:
"To select the most outstanding talents through a series of rigorous trials!"
"Correct, but not entirely."
In the study of the Zhang Family’s Old Mansion, Zhang Shumo brewed himself a pot of tea and spoke as he did so:
"The University Alliance Training Camp is indeed for selecting outstanding talent!
But in reality, it has other purposes behind the scenes!"
"Do you know of the other enemies we face outside of the Blue Star Federation?"
Zhang Yi nodded slightly.
His dad had told him a little about it.
"Whether it’s the Wizard Organization or the Divine Alliance, they are the primary enemies we face in our outward expansion!"
"And the four great Evil Gods sealed in the depths of the Subspace, as well as the Insect Clan that can be found in every universe and Crystal Wall System, are also significant enemies!"
Zhang Shumo paused, took a sip of tea, and continued:
"The true purpose of the University Alliance Training Camp is to select the most outstanding from among hundreds of millions of students—those Divine Beings who show the promise of ascending to become True Gods!"
