Sage of Humanity

After leaving the Hall of Battle Merits, Kang Xing hosted Lu Ye at a restaurant, ordering a table full of food and drinks.

At the Beginner level, there was no longer a need for food, but with Kang Xing's enthusiastic invitation, Lu Ye found it hard to refuse.

The three of them frequently raised their glasses during the meal, expressing gratitude for Lu Ye's life-saving aid earlier. Lu Ye accepted with pleasure, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Although Kang Xing and his companions were not particularly strong, their character was admirable, as evidenced by their risky rescue of the Talent Tree Avatar.

Lu Ye had saved their lives, and in a way, they had saved the Avatar's life as well.

At that time, with his true body not present, the Avatar was in a state akin to a living corpse, which any member of the Blood Race could have easily destroyed.

After the feast dispersed, the four parted with an agreement to meet again in the future.

Kang Xing and the others planned to stay a few more days for recovery before entering the battlefield, but Lu Ye was feeling rather impatient.

His primary objective in entering the Star Abyss was to quickly grow stronger, and while he had been searching for enemies to vanquish, the efficiency was low.

By chance, he had fallen into this colorful place, which turned out to be an opportunity.

Setting aside the fact he was temporarily trapped, this place was practically a dreamland for him.

The three forces were vying for control, the battlefield was chaotic, and the ones being killed were all from the Insect and Blood Races.

Additionally, Lu Ye was very interested in the Dao artifact. Certainly, with his current power of 21 Paths, even with a Dao artifact, the boost wouldn't be significant, but it was a rare treasure for others at the Beginner level.

If he could procure one for thorough study, and later have it forged upon returning to stellar space, it could significantly enhance the overall strength of stellar space cultivators.

However, to exchange for a Dao artifact, one at least needed to be a Silver Guard; thus, accumulating battle merit was the pressing matter.

As he left the restaurant, he used his Mana to dispel the effects of the alcohol and then raised a Crystal Ball-like object.

This was the stellar space map of the colorful stellar space, which he had exchanged for with his meager battle merits under Kang Xing's guidance.

It's fair to say that this kind of stellar space map was indispensable for any cultivator entering the battlefield, as it allowed them to know where to go.

His Mental Consciousness immersed within, he immediately saw a scaled-down version of the stellar space, where every star, every Insect Path, and even the various stellar marvels were marked within this stellar space map.

Overall, the stellar space map displayed in three colors.

Red, yellow, and blue.

Red areas represented territories occupied by the human race battle alliance, yellow for the Giant Race, and blue for the Insect and Blood Races.

The three forces were established at different corners of stellar space, while the vast region in the middle was where the battlefield lay.

In this enormous battlefield region, which spanned almost half of stellar space, light dots of different colors were scattered, representing the territories held by the three forces on the battlefield, also known as battle planets.

Each battle planet had a Dao Fusion cultivator stationed, pinned like nails in the battlefield.

The cultivators from the three forces centered their activities around these battle planets, and if nearby allies were in danger, they could flee to the battle planet for refuge or aid.

Therefore, every battle planet carried significant strategic value for any force.

Once a battle planet was breached, it meant the loss of that entire area.

Lu Ye swiftly surveyed and felt the power of the Insect and Blood Races. It was no wonder the human race battle alliance had to ally with the Giant Race, as the color distribution on the stellar space map showed that the blue areas were the largest, with red next, and yellow the smallest.

Even when red and yellow were combined, they could only barely compete with the blue.

Lu Ye reviewed the stellar space map and quickly determined a location.

Blue Water Battle Planet!

He aimed to go to the battlefield to slay enemies, which required enemies to slay. Many battle planets within the battlefield had rear positions with smaller chances to confront enemies.

However, it couldn't be too forward either. The very forward battle planets were those where the fiercest combats took place, usually guarded by powerful strongholds, and encountering them could be perilous.

He sought a place that ensured intense combat without being overly hazardous.

The Blue Water Battle Planet undoubtedly met his requirements; its position was neither too forward nor too backward. Nearby, there was a battle planet belonging to the Insect and Blood Races, ensuring enemies were available, and according to the stellar space map, there was also a Giant Race battle planet at its back for support.

This way, even if major battles erupted, the combined forces of the two battle planets could coordinate and support each other.

Determined to head to the Blue Water Battle Planet, Lu Ye carefully assessed the route, then put away the stellar space map and soared into the sky.

After half a day, he arrived in front of an Insect Path, where a cultivator was stationed. Lu Ye presented his authority waist tablet, and once verified, he was allowed to pass.

Thus, after transiting through another Insect Path and traveling for several days, he finally reached his intended destination.

He didn't need to enter the Blue Water Battle Planet itself, for it was a nail of the human race battle alliance on the battlefield, with a Dao Fusion guarding it. If he truly entered, there would be no battles to fight; to defeat enemies, he had to remain outside.

Along his journey, he encountered a few hurried cultivators, but so long as they were not from the Insect and Blood Races, mutual unharmed coexistence was possible even upon encounter.

Essentially none were journeying alone like Lu Ye.

Even a 9th Dao needs to travel in pairs on this chaotic battlefield. Once, there was a team that tried to invite him to join, but Lu Ye refused.

If he were just an ordinary 9th Dao, he might consider teaming up with others, but he ultimately wasn't.

Lu Ye originally thought that there would be battles everywhere here. However, when he actually arrived, he found that the situation wasn't quite what he expected. Perhaps due to the constant conflicts over the years, both sides here were very cautious and did not easily expose their whereabouts.

It wasn't until after half a day that Lu Ye finally sensed the aftermath of a battle and, without hesitation, immediately moved in that direction.

He quickly reached the location.

Raising his eyes to look, there was a Blood Sea sprawling across that region, with fierce combat sounds emanating from within.

Only a Blood Race could lay out such a Blood Sea, no doubt about it. Moreover, the battle noise was so great that it was sure to attract nearby cultivators.

If those who came were allies, it would be fine, but if they were enemies, then the situation would be dire.

Lu Ye immediately decided to charge over. No matter what, he would first help his fellow cultivators kill the enemy, even if he didn't know the cultivators trapped in the Blood Sea, or if they were good or bad.

Just as he was about to act, another team of cultivators revealed themselves not far away.

Exchanging glances, Lu Ye nodded slightly, as this team was composed entirely of humans.

"Fellow Daoist," the leader of the human group called out, "Wait a moment. Join us in attacking, and we can make significant achievements!"

Saying that, he led several people towards Lu Ye's side.

Lu Ye paused his movement and blinked: "Very well."

The leader approached with a wide smile, but the people behind him suddenly dispersed, forming an encirclement.

"You all..." Lu Ye was taken aback.

"Strike!" The leader shouted harshly, and simultaneously a flash of blood light appeared, his speed abruptly increasing. At the same time, his companions all moved to Lu Ye's side, attacking from all directions.

As invisible ripples swept through, each of those who made a move suddenly froze, as if struck by a mighty hammer, their power dissipating.

The glint of a blade flashed like a crescent moon, and several heads flew off.

The panicked expression on Lu Ye's face had long disappeared, leaving only cold indifference. He finished his sentence, "...What a fatal gift you've delivered!"

While drinking and chatting idly with Kang Xing and the others before, these three had imparted to Lu Ye a lot of survival tips for the battlefield. One such tip was that the Blood Race was adept at disguises, so even when encountering humans on the battlefield, if you are not familiar with them, do not trust them easily; for all you know, they could be Blood Race in disguise.

Many human race cultivators had suffered greatly because of this, with the lesson learned through much bloodshed and sacrifice.

When Lu Ye first met this group, he didn't think much of it, but their actions were too peculiar.

So with a slight exertion of saintliness, he discerned the true identity of these Blood Race members.

For other human race cultivators, distinguishing the Blood Race's disguises was not easy, but for Lu Ye it was simple.

Anything suppressed by his own saintliness must undoubtedly be Blood Race!

The power level of these Blood Race members was inferior to his, and with them suppressed by saintliness, they were as easy to slaughter as livestock.

"No wonder!" Lu Ye turned his head to look at the Blood Sea, a look of understanding dawning, as he dashed towards it.

Surely, the intensity of the battle noises here was suspicious, which was precisely because the Blood Race wanted to lure nearby human rate cultivators for an ambush. The group he just killed was clearly in league with the Blood Race inside the Blood Sea, waiting to ambush those who came to investigate or rescue.

A simple but effective tactic, indeed.

Except, they had targeted the wrong person...

Rushing into the Blood Sea, he also spread his own Blood Sea. The Blood Race within immediately sensed it and exclaimed, "Which fellow clan member comes to help?"

Lu Ye followed the voice, responding, "It's me!"

The Blood Race member was still puzzled, "Who are you?"

The voice was unfamiliar, and they couldn't recall it at the moment.

But there was no need to ponder, as Lu Ye approached, they realized it was a human.

The next moment, this Blood Race member was sliced in half at the waist. As the Blood Sea collapsed, a few silhouettes hidden inside were revealed.

Upon seeing them clearly, Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

These were actually members of the Insect Race!

There were no other race cultivators in the Blood Sea.

In other words, what he thought was a battle between Allied Forces of humans or Giant Race against the Blood Race was actually a staged performance by the Insect and Blood Races working together, with the earlier intense battle sounds just a ruse created by these Insect Race members.

As the Blood Sea dispersed, they were still feigning an intense fight. When they suddenly saw Lu Ye staring at them, they were all momentarily stunned.
