Age of Evolution

Chapter 833: Chapter 836 Tianfang City_1

The largest denomination of currency in the Endless Star Sea is one thousand, and the smallest is one unit. Lin Zhen examined it for quite a while but couldn’t decipher the craftsmanship and techniques involved in creating this currency. Essentially, it was impossible to duplicate.

“So does the currency from the Original World become obsolete here?”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand: “Not exactly obsolete, but severely devalued. Here, ten thousand units could only be exchanged for one unit, and that’s at its highest worth. Sometimes it takes tens of thousands to exchange for one unit.”

Lin Zhen sighed – his wealth of ten trillion can now only be exchanged for ten billion and possibly even less.

Although the purchasing power of the Endless Star Sea’s currency seemed decent, Lin Zhen had no plans to exchange all his money; the loss would be far too great.

In the Endless Star Sea, money still had to be earned.

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment: “Young brother Lin, our status here is determined by your points.”

“Points? What are those?”

“Points are the scores you obtain from killing creatures in the Endless Star Sea. They range from One Star to Seven Stars. If your score is high enough, you could even enter our Hall of Fame. On the Endless Battlefield, both our side and theirs have Halls of Fame, representing the most potent fighting strength of both sides.”

“I see, so are you a member of the Hall of Fame, brother Zhang?”

Zhang Xuan chuckled ruefully: “Don’t belittle me, brother. I’ve been here for hundreds of thousands of years, and I’m just a Three Star Warrior. Who knows when I might become a Four Star? And nothing’s certain, I might even die at the hands of the Endless Species.”

Lin Zhen noticed several people’s badges at this point. Zhang Xuan had three stars on his chest, while several other martial artists from the Three Flowers Realm had basically one star, and one of them didn’t even have any stars.

The warrior without a star explained, noticing Lin Zhen looking his way: “Becoming a One Star is not easy. You need over a hundred points. Killing a Longevity Realm enemy gives you just one point, and killing a member of the Three Flowers gives you ten. My score is only eighty-five, even now.”

“The higher the star ranking, the more points are needed. A hundred million points are required to become a Seven Star and a billion points to enter the Hall of Fame. Zhang Xuan being a Three Star Warrior is already remarkable; achieving this takes more than ten thousand points.”

Hearing this, Lin Zhen found it plausible and also learned some of the basics about the Endless Battlefield.

Besides gods, anyone can battle here in the Endless Battlefield Zone. The strongest even includes demi-gods.

Your level determines your status here. The higher the level, the more recognition you get from others.

For example, if you’re a One Star Warrior and see something you want to buy, a nearby Two-star Warrior could buy it first without concern for who got there first.

If you’re a Five Star Warrior, other warriors below Five Stars would have to yield to you on the road.

The higher your star ranking, the better the spots you can grab at meals, and the more priority you have in everything.

Moreover, warriors with a star ranking can also be awarded warrior equipment from the local government.

The Endless Battlefield doesn’t have an empire, but there’s an official organization called the Hall of Fame Council. All people from the Original World’s ground clan are under this Council’s jurisdiction.

In addition to the Council having the highest power, there are also some civilian organizations, meaning clans.

The best choice to quickly get a foothold in the Endless Battlefield is to join a clan. This way, everything is easier, sharing resources.

The three main clans here are the White Tiger Hall, San Xia Association, and Speed Dragon Cavalry.

In this area of the Endless Battlefield Zone, there are two notably dangerous spots: the Storm Eye and the Ghost Ship.

The Storm Eye is a location suffering from cosmic storms with a diameter of hundreds of light-years. Sometimes treasures would appear there. Many warriors like going there, hoping to find a few spirit treasures and strike it rich.

The Ghost Ship is a massive spaceship. This ship is very famous throughout the entire Endless Battlefield Zone. Inside the ship, each room is a new world.

Each small room’s door is a space channel leading to extradimensional space. Almost every room has some treasure. As long as you’re capable, you can take it.

There are numerous enemies in this area. The Demon Clan and the Ghost Clan appear in groups. Ground Clan warriors want to hunt them down, and they too desire to hunt down Ground Clans.

Besides, on the Endless Species side, there’s also a Hall of Fame organization, not too different from ours in the structure.

The nearest city to here is called Tianfang City, the settlement area for the Ground Clan within a few hundred million light-years.

After finding out the direction to Tianfang City from Zhang Xuan and the others, Lin Zhen took his leave.

“Young brother, here’s my Dimensional Universe ID. After you arrive at Tianfang City and establish your identity, if you encounter any problem, you can add me. Although I can’t help with big issues, I should be able to lend a hand with smaller ones.”

Lin Zhen, smiling, agreed and parted with the group.

A moveable later, Lin Zhen had appeared on another plot of land ten thousand kilometers away.

Reaching into his pocket, he grabbed his little fox pet.

“Little guy, why did you bite me?” Lin Zhen asked.

The little fox was pretending to sleep with its eyes closed, looking as if it knew nothing at all.

Lin Zhen pointed out a finger, tickling the little fox. The little fox immediately couldn’t pretend anymore, emitting a tender cry.

Lin Zhen could see it was laughing, genuinely laughing, looking very cute.

The laughter of small animals is quite infectious. Even though Lin Zhen didn’t think this little fox could be of much help to him personally, he still couldn’t bear to abandon it.

“Forget it, I’ll hold on to it for now.”

Lin Zhen once again tucked the little fox into his arms.

The little fox poked out its fluffy little head to observe the outside world, a hint of indifference in its eyes.

Tianfang City was initially established by a Hall of Fame Martial Artist from the Endless Battlefield.

This Hall of Fame Martial Artist, known as Old Man Canjing, was said to have been the first overseer of the Holy Land known as the Twin Trees Garden.

Old Man Canjing ranks third in the Hall of Fame, making him one of the oldest members.

The name Tianfang City, as you might guess, means ‘Beyond Heaven’.

From the perspective of the Original World Ground, Tianfang City is indeed far-fetched. To put it into perspective, suppose a World King who could live for ten thousand years flew at the speed of light from the Original World towards Tianfang without taking any teleportation array, he would never even get halfway to Tianfang City in his lifetime!

This place is a floating continent.

With a diameter of over 20,000 kilometers, it can be aptly described as a continent.

The entire continent is a city, initially crafted by Old Man Canjing using a land solidification technique, which made the continent as strong as metal.

Such a land wouldn’t shatter even if the strongest Martial Artist were to battle upon it.

Approximately one billion people live in Tianfang City. While it’s not comparable to the larger cities on the ground in terms of population, the combat power of Tianfang City’s inhabitants would suffice to obliterate any nation on the ground.@@novelbin@@

Having been on the streets for half an hour, Lin Zhen hadn’t seen anyone below the Longevity Realm yet.

“Tianfang City Administrative Office!”

Standing in front of a grandly-styled building, Lin Zhen found his destination.

Striding in, he saw quite a few Martial Artists conducting business here.

Lin Zhen approached the first registration window: “Hello, I want to register my identity in the Dimensional Universe of the Endless Star Sea.”

“Please show your Original World Ground number and name first.”

After some thought, Lin Zhen decided to give his real name.

The female Martial Artist took Lin Zhen’s number, input it, and paused after seeing the results: “Your name is Lin Zhen?”

“Yes.” The reason Lin Zhen gave his real name was to be transparent. His decision to use a pseudonym in the Endless Battlefield was only to ensure a smooth arrival. But now that he needed to find his son, continuing to use a pseudonym was no longer an option.

“You’re a Saint-Level Alchemist?” What surprised the female Martial Artist was not Lin Zhen’s name, but the fact that he was a Saint-Level Alchemist.

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Oh! That’s rare. I’ve been in charge of registration here for three thousand years, and you’re the first Saint-Level Alchemist to show up.”

Upon hearing her words, Lin Zhen immediately understood that there must be other Saint-Level Alchemists in the Endless Battlefield, but their numbers were undoubtedly very small.

The woman showed no reaction to his name, which relieved Lin Zhen slightly.

News from the Endless Star Sea and the Ground does not intermingle. While his name, Lin Zhen, might be quite famous on the Ground, in the Endless Star Sea he was just an unknown foot soldier, barely stronger than the average newcomer.

In retrospect, Lin Zhen was kind of famous there, especially after he released over a thousand emperors, an act that got him noticed by some big shots.

He’d also heard the leader of the Ghost Clan say something about an empress on Qingqiu Mountain, who claimed that Lin Zhen was an enemy of the Endless Species.

The registration in Tianfang City was free and was completed quickly.

“All set, your identification number is 397911230012.”

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Chris’ voice echoed in Lin Zhen’s mind.

“Master, your identity registration is completed. Now, your Dimensional Universe can be used both on the Original World Ground and in the Endless Star Sea. Here’s your information.”

Lin Zhen looked at his identity information: “Life: Lin Zhen. Place of Origin: Tianfang City. Note: Longevity Level 7, Saint-Level Alchemist, Star Level Warrior Rank: Unranked, Identification Number: 397911230012.”

“I want to exchange some money. Where can I do that?”

“You can exchange at the window next door, the current exchange ratio is twenty thousand to one.”

The currency of the Original World Ground, when brought here, is not much different than waste paper.

Two hundred billion cash was exchanged for one million Endless Coins.

Upon his arrival, Lin Zhen had no intention of jumping right into the battlefield. This money was his seed capital.

His main objective in coming here was to find his son, but that didn’t necessarily mean he had to search for him in person. Aimless searching was the most foolish method. Lin Zhen wanted to make a real name for himself here. As long as he became famous, he believed that as long as his son was alive, he would definitely see news of his father and come forward on his own initiative.
