Chapter 668: Chapter 670: The Divine Punishment Star is about to be activated

When Ning Qingxuan woke up in a daze, she found herself already lying in her bed.

The aroma of food was coming from around her, and Lin Zhen seemed to be cooking something.

She tried to prop up her body with her hand, but her arm felt extremely weak, unable to support her.

Her breakthrough attempt had failed, leaving her without any Star Power, and her Divine Body in a frail state. At this point, she was not only less than a Martial Artist, but also weaker than an ordinary person in the New World.

This feeling of losing all her power made her feel bitter inside.

Her Master had told her not to try it lightly, otherwise, this would be the outcome.

She didn’t know how long this state would last, but she estimated that it wouldn’t recover in the short term.

It’s not that she didn’t want to return to the Original World; she had tried her best but failed. Now all she could do was leave it up to fate.

“You’re awake. Try the porridge I made. I know you’re weak, so let it help you regain some energy.”

Lin Zhen brought her the porridge. Ning Qingxuan struggled to sit up but found it very challenging. Lin Zhen came to her side, gently lifting her body up with one hand and propping her against himself.

“Don’t say I’m taking advantage of you in your moment of weakness. This way, it’s more convenient for me to feed you. You better not move around too much. You should know that I am not a very patient person.”

Ning Qingxuan’s face turned red as a spoonful of fragrant porridge approached her. Being taken care of like this made her uncomfortable, especially since Lin Zhen was a man.

But her current abilities were almost depleted, leaving her unable to lift her arm. She didn’t have any strength to resist Lin Zhen’s slightly domineering behavior.

He gently fed her the porridge, then asked, “Crown Princess, how long will you be in this state?”

“I’m not sure, probably two or three years. I have to wait until my weakness ends, and then I’ll recover.”

Ning Qingxuan was grateful that Lin Zhen was not her enemy. If he were, she would undoubtedly be defenseless in her current state. But it seemed she had not misjudged him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you until you recover.”

After saying this, Lin Zhen felt that their current position was somewhat uncomfortable. He simply embraced her, letting her head rest on his shoulder.

Ning Qingxuan wanted to protest, but another spoonful of porridge was fed to her.

She closed her eyes in resignation, the rich masculine scent surrounding her making her heart pound.

“You don’t need to worry about anything. Leave the matter of returning to the Original World to me.”

Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, Ning Qingxuan remained silent, feeling ashamed in her current state.

Lin Zhen smiled, finished feeding her, and then put the beauty back down. The very tired Ning Qingxuan quickly fell asleep.

Lin Zhen took off the World King level Star Crystal and began practicing again.

By the time he set the Light Sphere to darken again, he sensed Ning Qingxuan involuntarily curling up next to him.

Gently testing her forehead, Lin Zhen discovered that the Longevity Warrior seemed to have caught a chill.

“This is such a domineering side effect, making the body of a Longevity Warrior so weak. It’s lucky that she’s with me, otherwise, her life might be at risk.”

Lin Zhen finished his practice and once more fed some water and food to Ning Qingxuan. Then he simply crawled into her bed.

Softly stretching his arm, he embraced the stunning Crown Princess, using his body heat to warm her up.

“Lin Zhen… What’s wrong with me?”

Ning Qingxuan opened her eyes slightly, weakly asking.

“Don’t worry, you just caught a chill. You’ll be fine soon.”

In her groggy state, Ning Qingxuan felt that something was amiss, but Lin Zhen’s warm embrace provided her the most comfortable resting place. She couldn’t help but find a comfortable position and fall back asleep.

The delicate body in his arms had an amazing elasticity and allure, making Lin Zhen very uncomfortable. He could only immerse his Spiritual Power into his Dantian and focus on studying the thunder and lightning within the Black Hole.

If they wanted to leave this place, they would probably have to rely on it eventually.

The Divine Punishment Star would be activated in just over two years, and news of this swept through the Original World.

One day, golden light descended from the sky, and almost everyone heard a voice.

This voice announced to the entire Original World that the Divine Punishment Star had appeared. In two years and five months, all those confirmed to enter the Divine Punishment Star should be prepared, as they would be directly teleported inside on that day.

The total number of people entering the Divine Punishment Star from the Original World was an astonishing one hundred billion!

The Dimensional Universe Company would also broadcast the situation of this Divine Punishment Star to everyone in the Original World, allowing everyone to watch their performance.

One hundred billion might sound like a lot, but in the face of the Original World’s vast population, it could be described as a drop in the ocean.

The quota for the Divine Punishment Star became increasingly popular. However, most people who were eligible to obtain this quota were reluctant to sell it.

In addition to one hundred chances for refining the Divine Body, the top one hundred thousand Martial Artists would also receive a Qi of Divine Transformation!

The only function of the Qi of Divine Transformation was to help Martial Artists break through the World King’s barrier and advance to Longevity Realm!

Even if they didn’t get a chance to refine their Divine Body, there was a great opportunity to advance to the Longevity Realm, which was even more attractive to Martial Artists.

Of course, some people felt that they could reach the Longevity Realm and had no higher demands, choosing to sell their quota for the Divine Punishment Star.

Each quota sale would set off a bidding frenzy in the auction houses. Almost all the Divine Punishment Star quotas were sold for trillions.

Every country and power would carefully select their representatives to enter the Divine Punishment Star.

You should know that this time, the battle on the Divine Punishment Star will be broadcast live throughout the Original World, there is no way to cheat. Every country wants to gain the most attention and benefits from this grand event, so the people they send are definitely not mediocre.

However, some people believe that those who enter the Divine Punishment Star may not be the elite of the Original World. Many Martial Artists clearly possess great strength but have no money or influence, and therefore do not have the qualifications to go to the Divine Punishment Star. This is unfair for them.

Unfortunately, not many people support this argument. Money and influence are also part of one’s strength. If you cannot obtain it, it means your strength is not enough. This world has never been truly fair, nor has it ever been fair.

Da Qin Empire!

King Qin Yuntian held a banquet in the main hall for all the people representing Da Qin in the battle.

Over a million people from Qin Kingdom participated in the battle, but only 1,000 truly represented the court!

King Qin, dressed in a golden robe, looked like a deity watching over all beings from above the clouds.

“You are all the pride of our Da Qin clan. As the strongest empire in the Original World, I have only one request: We must claim first place in this Divine Punishment Star battle. Do you have confidence?”

“Victory! Victory!”

At the front of the team, the young man in a blue robe, a World King at the Peak of Level Nine, was like a peerless divine weapon unsheathed from its scabbard, with a soaring sword intent that almost pierced through the Sky Dome.

“The first place must belong to our Qin Kingdom’s Crown Prince, Qin Jianfeng! Only the first Imperial Crown Prince is worthy of the title of the number one in the Original World!”

**********

Deep in the mountains of Zhao Country, a dense forest covered the sky.

Deep in the forest, an old man with a leather strap wrapped around his upper body was meditating.

In front of him, hundreds of disciples sat cross-legged, closing their eyes without speaking.

If you look closely at this old man, you’ll find that the leather on his body was actually the skin of a Super Star River Beast, the Golden Dragon, which he’d peeled off and made into a piece of clothing.

“This time, our Secret Sect Martial Artists have obtained 300 places. For a hundred thousand years, we have not taken a single step out of this Mist Forest, waiting for this very day. My children, prepare to pick up your swords and spears, and let loose on the Divine Punishment Star! Show those countries on the mainland the strength of us, the Secret Sect disciples!”

********

In the capital of Nan Liang, Crown Prince Liang Zhihuan was watching the Martial Artists below.

Nan Liang only had 1,000 places, and only less than twenty were actually under the royal family’s control.

Liang Chen stood at the front of the line, with a dozen World King-level Strong Ones behind him.

Having not seen him for some time, Liang Chen had now become a Domain King – a Region King of the second level.

However, Liang Zhihuan’s confidence was not very strong. Nan Liang’s Martial Force could not be ranked in the entire Original World. Among the roughly five million countries in the Original World, it is estimated that Nan Liang could not even rank in the top four million.

If the Crown Princess’s realm was not so high, he might still have some confidence. But now…

“My fellow Nan Liangians, in this battle on the Divine Punishment Star, I set only one goal for you: even if you cannot win a place to temper your body, you must at least achieve a ranking within the top 100,000. As long as you reach this goal, we will have achieved victory!”

To be able to win a place within the top 100,000 contenders out of several billion and gain an opportunity to advance to the Longevity Realm is not an easy task. Whoever can achieve this will have a promising future with limitless potential!

Within the Fire Kirin Clan, the clan leader is also gathering Martial Artists to discuss.

“This time, our Kirin Clan has been allocated 300 places. However, for our Fire Kirin Clan, we only have 15 places after the distribution among the Ink Kirin, Jade Kirin, and others. So, I decided to allocate the places according to the following method.”

“Qin Dong! One place. Zhao Xiaolong, one place. Ke Xiangnan, one place. Ke Xiangdong, one place. ….”

Ke Xiangdong and Ke Xiangnan looked at each other, both with excitement in their eyes.

Joining the Kirin Clan was indeed the right choice. If they could achieve a good ranking on the Divine Punishment Star this time, they would have entered the public eye as brothers.

Initially, the incident with Lin Zhen had brought a huge negative impact, but it had been more than seven hundred years since then, and things had finally settled down. This time, they both were able to attain places, which meant that the clan no longer cared about that incident.

“Lin Zhen! You brought me of a great impact at first, and then killed my father. When I return from the Divine Punishment Star, it will be the day to take revenge on you. Prepare to die!” Ke Xiangnan, already a World King expert, clenched his fists tightly.

********

At the Phoenix Clan’s Sacred Mountain, surrounded by Wutong trees.

As the clan’s gathering call rang out, beautiful Phoenixes flew out from the trees and headed towards the clan’s main hall.

At this moment, an exceptionally beautiful Little Phoenix gently stretched its wings, transformed into a woman dressed in red, and landed in front of the main hall.

“Qing Luan! I’m right here!”

The Phoenix Clan’s Deputy Clan Chief, Jun Mo, came to Feng Qingluan’s side with a gentle, jade-like smile.

“Greetings to the Deputy Clan Chief!” Feng Qingluan bent slightly.

“Ah! Qing Luan, why are you still so formal with me? We will be family sooner or later anyway.”

“Please have some self-respect, Deputy Clan Chief. I already have someone in my heart. We have made a thousand-year agreement. Unless he doesn’t want me anymore, I won’t belong to anyone else.”

Jun Mo’s face suddenly looked very ugly, and he awkwardly said, “Alright then, I hope your chosen person does not forget the time. However, both you and I are allotted places for the Divine Punishment Star this time. Let’s go in and listen to the arrangements.”

Feng Qingluan nodded and stepped into the Phoenix Clan’s main hall.

********

At this time, the entire Original World was discussing this matter. Every force and every person were closely linked to the Divine Punishment Star!
