Age of Evolution

Chapter 251 - 251: 251: Visitors from Heaven

Could Lin Zhen actually have a Top Quality Star Artifact capable of destroying high-grade ones?

From the beginning of the competition to now, no one has taken out a Top Quality Star Artifact. How could Lin Zhen have such a thing?

A Top Quality Star Artifact could play a significant role in a battle, even determining its outcome.

For example, if it were a weapon, then High Grade Astral Armor wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

If it were an armor piece, then weapons made of High Grade Star Artifacts would not be able to penetrate it.

From the looks of it, Lin Zhen seemed to have a Top Quality Star Artifact as a weapon, likely a sword or a blade since it destroyed Omar’s High Grade Celestial Device.

Contestants from other countries started to study countermeasures in case they had to face Lin Zhen.

After Lin Zhen’s match ended, he removed his helmet and went online to check out other matches. There were still about dozens of fights yet to finish.

After all the matches were over, there would be a half-hour break before the top 512 would advance to the top 256.

Lin Zhen also watched some matches with well-known strong competitors. Huo Luofu faced an African Union War God and won without even moving his hands — just using a Gravity Field to crush his opponent to death.

Chris of the European Union swiftly killed her opponent with a single sword strike, demonstrating her extraordinary speed.

Ai Er from the European Union wore a knight’s armor with four or five defense star artifacts, using a flurry of spectacular fast swordplay to bloody defeat a

Brazilian War God.

The United States contestant, Duke, faced a Hua Xia War God in an even more bizarre battle. Duke walked up to his opponent and kicked him off the stage. From beginning to end, the Hua Xia War God only managed to twist his face, unable to perform any other action at all.

Bogba from the African Union used a stick-like weapon that caused rocks to fall while swinging it. He easily defeated a United States War God, advancing forcefully.

Apart from these contestants, many others showed their hidden powerful strength.

However, Lin Zhen was surprised to find that Su Mingyue’s match was missing. Su Mingyue was the one who had advanced cleanly to the top 256 byes.

“This girl’s luck is truly unfathomable.” Lin Zhen laughed.

The War God’s Knockout competition lasted two days. The first day had five rounds, and the second day had another five rounds. At the end of the first day, the top 32 contestants would be decided.

Lin Zhen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rested, waiting for the start of the next round.

In the vastness of the universe, a hundred-meter-long Starship Battleship was approaching the Solar System.

This hundred-meter-long Starship Battleship actually couldn’t be considered a battleship. It was the smallest of all the battleships and could only be called a small exploration spacecraft with a capacity of only two people.

The spacecraft had a single-person bedroom, a gym, and even a swimming pool. Personal enjoyment in outer space was highly regarded, and it was rare for groups of people to stay together unless they were part of an army.

“Ah! Xin Ou, how long have we been flying? I feel like I’m going to get moldy,” said a man with red short hair standing on end like flames, slowly sipping a blue liquid from his cup and asking his companion.

“Keep your wine glass away from me, Tu Ya. You’re disrupting my drawings of the wormhole coordinates. We’ve been out for about three years now.” Xin Ou was a man with fair skin and orange short hair, holding a star map in his hand and examining it.

“Three years! We still haven’t found that life-bearing planet. Are you sure the signal came from this star domain? If we go in the wrong direction, we’ll definitely receive a huge fine from the Empire’s expedition department.”

“Tu Ya, you need to trust the professional skills of a veteran explorer. I’m absolutely certain that the missing Red Rose transport ship from the Empire sent out a signal in this star domain. Look here.”

Xin Ou pointed to the screen on the spaceship, and Tu Ya immediately leaned over.

“Look at this – the signal strength has increased by 50%, meaning we are getting closer to the Red Rose Battleship.”

“My God, the Red Rose transport ship has been missing for a thousand years, and it can still send out a signal? That’s unbelievable,” Tu Ya exclaimed in surprise.

“What’s so unbelievable about that? The Red Rose is not a small exploration vessel like ours; it’s a massive second -level interstellar warship with energy block storage compartments. It could maintain a signal for thousands of years without a problem. I think I can try to communicate with them now. I hope there are still people alive on board.”

Xin Ou adjusted the system and started trying to communicate with the Red Rose.

After trying for about half an hour, the screen flickered a few times, and an image appeared.

“Oh my God! It really worked? Who is this?”

In the image, a man with long brown hair, wearing a tattered blue uniform, appeared.

“Oh! Oh yeah!”

Seeing the image connected, the man excitedly screamed: “Are you explorers from the Landis Empire? I am Captain Shu Mingxuan of the Landis Commercial

Association. You finally arrived! It’s great. Please come and rescue me.”

“Please calm down, Captain Shu Mingxuan. According to my calculations, it will take about six months to reach you at the speed of my spacecraft. Can you tell me about the situation on your end?”

“All right, all right, I’ve lost my composure from not seeing any of my kind for so many years.”

Shu Mingxuan straightened his ragged captain’s uniform and said: “I am currently on a life-supporting planet called Earth. About a thousand years ago, this planet experienced a meteor shower. The creatures on the planet mutated, but the meteor shower also brought cultivation civilization, allowing the natives to master basic cultivation techniques. These natives don’t look much different from us…”

Shu Mingxuan was surprisingly knowledgeable about many things on Earth and could even name many people. His spaceship was able to access Earth’s internet.

“It’s such a misfortune that just after that meteor shower, my ship happened to pass through this star domain when we encountered an enraged galaxy beast. We were out of control just from being exposed to a tiny amount of its energy, and eventually crashed onto this planet. As you know, I was transporting alien beasts for the Imperial Royal Zoo, and I activated my energy shield when we crashed. Although I survived, my spaceship was trapped here, and now the natives call my ship… the Ancient God Ruins. They often come to explore my ship.”

“Oh, oh, oh! It’s impressive that you managed to escape the claws of the galaxy beast, Captain Shu Mingxuan. Haven’t those natives caught you and dissected you for research? Haha!” Tu Ya laughed heartily.

“No, they don’t have that ability yet. The alien beasts I transported can’t leave the crash site either. They block the explorers’ path, and no one has reached the fourth floor where I am. I’m safe for now, but my life span is almost exhausted. You need to hurry.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll reach you as soon as possible. Tell us about the events happening on this planet.” Xin Ou was also very interested in the newly discovered life-supporting planet.

“Hmm, things are quite lively here. Most of this planet is covered in ocean, and there are seven countries on the land. Right now, the natives are competing for national rankings in a tournament. All participants are below the Star Realm, and the winner will have the greatest right on this planet.”

Upon hearing Shu Mingxuan’s words, Tu Ya blinked: “I see… Captain, you must know the Empire’s policy. Newly discovered life-supporting planets like this one must be conquered. According to your description, if we can control the person who wins this tournament, it will definitely benefit our upcoming conquest plan. If you can achieve this, I’ll report your contribution to the Empire after you’re rescued.”

Shu Mingxuan hesitated: “But I can’t leave this warship.”

“Don’t try to play tricks with me. You were transporting brain beetles, right? Those little things can still control people below the Star Realm and enhance the host’s abilities, allowing them to gain Star Realm power. Just one brain beetle controlling someone should be enough. You’re telling me Star Realm power can’t win a tournament where only those below the Star Realm are competing?”

Hearing Tu Ya’s words, Shu Mingxuan reluctantly took out a small box with a tiny beetle-like creature inside: “Most of the brain beetles died when the spaceship crashed, and this is the last one.”

“All right, it’s this one. Release it and have it recognize the target you designated. Remember, this is a joint effort between the three of us: me, Xin

Ou, and you.”

Shu Mingxuan nodded and began looking for a target to lock onto.

“Make sure to choose carefully, there’s only one brain beetle left. If it ends up selecting a loser who can’t win the championship, we’ll be in trouble. Also, make sure to control the target in advance, as last-minute control will be discovered.’

Shu Mingxuan nodded: “Rest assured, the top 32 will appear in tonight’s comvetition. I will choose one of them and make sure to Dick the one with the

highest possibility of winning. You have to trust my judgment.”

“All right, we’ll get to you as soon as possible. Once we’re there, we’ll report the interstellar route to the Imperial Military Department. When the army conquers this planet, we’ll undoubtedly be granted lordship over it.”

“That would be fantastic. I won’t lie to you; there are many interesting things on this planet. They believe in the True God of the Stars, which is laughable. Also, there are a few surprisingly high-quality beauties here. If I could take control of this planet… Hahaha.”

Their laughter echoed as the communication screen turned off.

Shu Mingxuan flipped through the profiles of the people participating in the War God’s Knockout, narrowing them down and searching…

Unbeknownst to people on Earth, the War God’s Knockout continued.

In the fight from 512 to 256, this round was considered the battle between Hua Xia and the rest of the world.

That was because five Hua Xia Hall of Fame War Gods faced formidable opponents in this round!
