Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 299 - 300: Assigned in Crisis! Heading to the Iron Cage Battlefield!
After Gu Yinling, the second one to complete the transformation was Ziling.
She was a powerhouse at the Peak of Divine Tier on the Divine Desolate Continent, having reached the pinnacle of cultivation on the continent.
Her talent and abilities were unquestionably strong!
After Gu Yinling and Ziling, the Spirit Emperor became the dark horse once more.
On Emperor Star, the Spirit Mirror Group was just an inconspicuous small group.
Faced with giants like the Infinite Group and Celestial Moon Group, the Spirit Mirror Group was not worth mentioning.
But now, the Spirit Emperor emerged unexpectedly!
Of course, speaking purely of talent, the most talented among these people was Gu Chitong.
He was a Dragon Egg brought by the Blood Dragon God from who knows where, with unbelievably strong talent.
But he seemed uninterested in cultivation improvements.
Upon reaching this asteroid, Gu Chitong spent the vast majority of his time in a combat state.
Even so, he reached F-Tier Cosmic Level roughly around the same time as Gu Xiaoyu.
After that, the Moon God and Ji Tianyue also successively reached F-Tier Cosmic Level.
The only one who hasn’t advanced to F-Tier Cosmic Level is Emperor Kui.
His potential seemed to have been exhausted, reaching the Peak of Super Divine Tier was his limit.
However, the establishment and development of the Infinite Empire owe much to Emperor Kui.
Gu Qijue was willing to give him more time to grow.
In fact, Vice Leader Di Kui was not one to admit age nor defeat.
Unable to take the final step, he chose to undertake more arduous and perilous battles.
On the fortieth day, he successfully proved himself.
Though not as promising as some of the new generations, he was neither discarded nor eliminated by the times!
Once all of them entered the F-Tier Cosmic Level, Gu Qijue led the group to leave.
He didn’t destroy the asteroid labeled Y-99, because he would need it for training exercises next time.
After Emperor Kui and others reached F-Tier Cosmic Level, Gu Qijue didn’t lead them into battle.
Inside the captain’s hall of the Emperor Starship.
Gu Qijue looked at Emperor Kui and the others and ordered:
"Next, you will return to Outpost Star, continue to enhance yourselves at all costs, and cultivate the core elites of the Infinite Empire."
"Ensure more core members quickly reach the Peak of Super Divine Tier, afterward I will take them to a suitable place for breakthrough opportunities."
"The Infinite Empire must have a plan to mass-produce elite core members in a short time."
"The war between the Star Cluster Alliance and the Klein People will last a long time."
"After the war ends, star clusters severely damaged might be divided and devoured."
"By then, a fierce star cluster battle is bound to break out!"
"The Infinite Empire must swiftly accumulate resources and combat forces to stand out in the star cluster battle at that time."
As Gu Qijue said these words, everyone listened attentively.
Emperor Kui and others knew very well that Gu Qijue’s judgment was most likely correct.
At any time, interest is the eternal theme.
If a star cluster is weak yet possesses abundant resources, it is likely to become a case of ’possession of treasure is its own curse.’
Moreover, the law of the jungle has been proven true across the universe over countless years.
After returning, they must find ways to grow and strengthen the Infinite Empire as instructed by Gu Qijue.
After sending everyone back to Outpost Star, Gu Qijue returned to Black Stone Base.
During this period, the Black Stone Legion members had nothing to do, everyone was training and honing their skills at Black Stone Base.
Alviss was dumbfounded; the situation of the Black Stone Legion was completely different from his expectations.
Before coming to the Black Stone Legion, he thought the legion was either fighting or on the way to fight.
But after arriving, Gu Qijue led the Black Stone Legion back to Black Stone Base for rest.
That would have been fine, but for the following forty days or so, the Black Stone Legion’s commander Gu Qijue disappeared.
Finally, he and the others eagerly awaited Gu Qijue’s return.
Although Gu Qijue returned to Black Stone Base, he didn’t receive a suitable attacking target from Tian Li.
Finding a target for one million and for ten million is evidently different.
Without an appropriate target, war costs might not be recovered, and if the enemy is too strong, lives could be lost on the battlefield.
However, on the third day after Gu Qijue returned to Black Stone Base, he received operational orders from the operations department head, Galcos.
Black Stone Base, command hall.
The holographic image of Vermilion Bird Star Cluster’s Vice Leader Galcos appeared not far from Gu Qijue.
Upon seeing Gu Qijue, Galcos immediately ordered:
"Commander Gu Qijue, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster and the Blue River Star Cluster are engaged in fierce battles with the Klein People on the Iron Cage Battlefield."
"It is expected that a protracted tug-of-war will ensue on the Iron Cage Battlefield."
"The operations department has decided for you to immediately lead the Black Stone Legion into the Iron Cage Battlefield and participate in the battle."
After Galcos finished, Gu Qijue nodded slightly and said, "I understand, sir."
Galcos nodded solemnly and then left.
The news that the Black Stone Legion was about to enter the Iron Cage Battlefield quickly spread to everyone in the Black Stone Legion.
When people learned they were about to enter the Iron Cage Battlefield, they were all stunned.
"What? We’re going to the Iron Cage Battlefield?"
"This is the end! Previously, the commander always took us to pick the easy targets..."
"I heard that the Iron Cage Battlefield is a meat grinder, where several regular units have been completely wiped out!"
When there were no military operations, the Black Stone Legion yearned for battle.
Now that they learned they were heading to the Iron Cage Battlefield, many people felt as heavy-hearted as attending a funeral.
Only one person was an exception.
That person is Alviss, the deputy commander of the Black Stone Legion!
He had longed to join in some exhilarating battles.
While the Iron Cage Battlefield was too cruel and terrifying for others,
for Alviss, it was just perfect.
As everyone entertained various thoughts, Gu Qijue appeared before all of them.
"All soldiers of the Black Stone Legion, heed my command!"
"Immediately gather your personal belongings and prepare to head to the Iron Cage Battlefield!"
"Assemble at the starship plaza in fifteen minutes!"
Hearing Gu Qijue’s order, regardless of their thoughts, they could only comply.
Though the Black Stone Legion had already won two great battles consecutively,
this time, when everyone arrived at the starship plaza, many were still uneasy.
Compared to them, Gu Qijue was very calm.
Tian Li had provided him with intelligence on the Iron Cage Battlefield a long time ago.
Not only that, two of the Golden Lion King’s treasures were hidden in the Iron Cage Battlefield.
Moreover, his continually growing power ensured he wouldn’t suffer in the Iron Cage Battlefield.
The Black Stone Legion, however, was unaware that he had acquired intelligence on the Iron Cage Battlefield much earlier and had a steady source of information.
At that moment, everyone thought that Gu Qijue was just taking orders at the last minute and leading them into desperate combat!
