Ye Tian followed a King-level guard through layers of security and entered a massive fortress, where he promptly received a token.
This token was one of the credentials to enter the spatial rift. It served as a safeguard against the possibility of ferocious beasts sneaking into Earth. In this era, any kind of talent could exist, including the talent for disguise. The people at Zhonghai Super Base were aware of this disguise talent, hence the need for the token.
If someone perished, their token would shatter. Only the individual carrying their own crafted token could pass through the spatial rift’s surface array light screen; otherwise, it was impossible to get through.
Ye Tian crossed the spatial rift and quickly saw a vast base.
This base, compared to Zhonghai Super Base, was undoubtedly much smaller, but in terms of defense, it was even more robust.
There were no high-rise buildings in the base, just massive castles and palaces. Each palace and castle were constructed with extremely sturdy materials and equipped with defensive arrays.
Such construction was costly, but necessary. Without it, a single attack from ferocious beasts would obliterate the base. For example, the many 29-story buildings in Zhonghai Super Base weren’t very sturdy. However, since the base’s interior was relatively safe, they were constructed in that manner.
Here, at the frontline of battle, it was impractical to build such extravagant but impractical high-rises.
Upon entering the base, Ye Tian, under the guidance of a guard, reported in and officially stationed himself at the base.
Over the next few days, Ye Tian began to familiarize himself with the base.
Firstly, the base’s population was not large, mostly consisting of King-level and above powerhouses, with a few Grandmasters. These Grandmasters belonged to the military forces jointly invested by major powers, responsible for handling attacks by top-tier and high-tier ferocious beasts. Many of these beasts, having low intelligence, did not understand the base’s strength and would attack upon seeing humans. These issues were handled by the military.
Under normal circumstances, apart from some special missions, King-level and above powerhouses would usually train within the base.
But now, normal training was impossible due to the frequent appearance of Saint-level and Emperor-level ferocious beasts nearby, requiring the Saint-level and above powerhouses to often investigate the situation.
As a newcomer, Ye Tian had a month’s rest period, after which he also had to undertake missions.
For Ye Tian, the only drawback of this base was the abundance of pseudo-mystic talents.
Emperor-level and Saint-level powerhouses were common sights here. If he had arrived earlier, he wouldn’t have struggled to acquire the Mystic Defensive Talent and Mystic Strength Talent.
Ye Tian’s cloning talent cooldown ended, and he could clone another talent.
Ye Tian chose an Emperor-level mystic speed talent and successfully cloned it.
Ten minutes later, Ye Tian’s speed talent transformed into a Mystic Speed Talent.
Now, Ye Tian possessed three Mystic Talents.
【Strength Talent: Mystic】
【Defense Talent: Mystic】
【Speed Talent: Mystic】
Ye Tian was probably the only one in Zhonghai Super Base who possessed three Mystic Talents
He still had one opportunity left, which he planned to use to clone the Blood Eye Witch Emperor’s Blood Eye Talent.
The Blood Eye Talent was a pupil technique related to consciousness, capable of countering soul-type attack talents. If he cloned this talent, he might stand a chance against the Emperor-level beast with soul attack talent.
However, he learned that the Blood Eye Witch Emperor and Empress Yue had gone in search of that beast with soul-type talent and had not returned. He could only wait.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian encountered some acquaintances at the base.
Holy Maiden Xiyue and Wang Yan.
Holy Maiden Xiyue had also reached the Saint-level. For some reason, as the Holy Maiden of the Moon God Sect, she was also dispatched here, while Wang Yan, just an ordinary Saint-level, was unluckily chosen.
Ye Tian and Wang Yan sat in a fortress, sipping tea and chatting casually.
“Ye Tian, are you scared?”
“What’s there to fear?”
Ye Tian replied with a smile.
“The war!” Wang Yan said gravely. “Given the current situation, a major war might break out between Zhonghai Super Base and the ferocious beasts, even surpassing past conflicts. In such a war, countless Saints will fall, and even Emperors might die in significant numbers. I remember 20 years ago, Zhonghai Super Base fought against the beasts from this five-star spatial rift. We were driven out of the rift and back to Earth for defense. That battle saw the fall of dozens of Emperors, including three from the Thirty-Six Emperors. It wasn’t until ten years ago that we re-entered the rift and re-established this base. I wasn’t qualified to participate in that battle. Unexpectedly, just as I fortuitously advanced to the Saint level, I was assigned to guard here. I’m not sure if advancing to Saint level is a good or bad thing for me.”
“Let’s just go with the flow. Someone has to hold back the ferocious beasts. I am a bit scared, I admit, but I believe I won’t die so easily!” Ye Tian spoke with confidence.
Wang Yan sounded less certain.
Ye Tian understood Wang Yan’s worries. After all, she was just an ordinary Saint-level, and Saints of her level were most vulnerable to falling. If war broke out, she would undoubtedly be targeted by Saint-level beasts, and if she encountered a slightly stronger Saint-level opponent, she wouldn’t stand a chance.
If she couldn’t withstand them, her only fate would be death.
Her chances of survival were less than ten percent!
Anyone aware of their slim chances of survival would feel uneasy.
Therefore, all ordinary Saints selected and realizing that war was imminent would not be in good spirits.
In recent days, Ye Tian had seen too many Saints with gloomy expressions.
But there was no choice; the ferocious beasts were invading Earth, and humans had to defend their home. A battle was inevitable!
After Wang Yan left, Ye Tian walked alone on the street.
There was a commotion ahead. Ye Tian looked up and saw five or six beams of light descending into the base.
Ye Tian’s gaze swept around and spotted a stunningly beautiful woman, with a full moon emerging behind her, resembling the Moon Goddess herself.
However, the moon behind her was full of cracks, and her complexion was somewhat pale.
Beside her stood a burly man with a blood-colored eyeball on his forehead, clearly a witch.
He was the Blood Eye Witch Emperor!
“Empress Yue and Blood Eye Witch Emperor have returned!”
Ye Tian quickly moved closer.
He was within 2000 meters of the Blood Eye Witch Emperor and checked his talents.
Cultivation Talent: Moonlight
Blood Eye Talent: Medium
Defense Talent: Pseudo-Mystic (50%)
Strength Talent: Mystic
The Blood Eye Witch Emperor’s talents were impressive, with two Mystic Talents. Aside from the Blood Eye Talent, there was also a basic Curse Talent.
Ye Tian was curious about this talent, but after careful consideration, he decided it was better to clone the Blood Eye Talent, a life-saving one.
With a thought, the Medium Blood Eye Talent was his!
