Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health
Chapter 515 - 220: The Inevitable Trend
The Fallen Immortal Land of the Taiping Continent is located within a gigantic Suspended Cloud Forest known as the "Dragon Observation Platform."
The Suspended Cloud Forest is one of the world’s unique landscapes, formed by the accumulation of various impurities carried by the surging cosmic forces, akin to how river silt forms a delta at the river’s mouth when flowing into the sea.
The Profound Wall rises high, enclosing the Dragon Observation Platform’s Fallen Immortal Land tightly. A hastily constructed Suspended City stands with one side connected to the Cloud Forest and the other side adjacent to the Profound Wall, while the rest is all suspended in the air.
In specifically opened alleyways, Flying Ships traverse densely, much like flocks of migratory birds.
On one of the smaller passenger Flying Ships.
In a narrow cabin on the lower deck sat twenty-four people. They were lined up in two rows, leaning against the walls on either side, dressed in various styles, both men and women, looking young. The expressions on their faces differed—confused, scared, anxious, sad, some even quietly sobbing. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
These were the new recruits heading to the Dragon Observation Platform’s Fallen Immortal Land.
Every day, numerous Flying Ships, from all directions, deliver batch after batch of people here. Most of them are conscripted from the powers recorded in the "World Register," divided and recruited proportionally.
In turbulent times, forced conscription like this is very common.
Before the Fallen Immortal Lands across the world fully erupted, only a few drifting overseas were active, so there was no need for forced conscription. Many volunteered to go, and others were sent there as punishment for their mistakes. But now, with the Fallen Immortal Land fully erupting and a shortage of people, forced conscription is inevitable.
Fan Wubing sat in the corner of the left bench.
At this moment, he disguised himself as an ordinary young man, with nothing remarkable about his appearance, the kind easily forgotten in a crowd.
Previously, he wished to directly enter the Dragon Observation Platform’s Fallen Immortal Land, but unexpectedly discovered that the outer Profound Wall was covered with hundreds of barriers, further surrounded by vast Cosmic Powers, completely isolating the Fallen Immortal Land from the outside world.
If he forced his way in, it would certainly make a big commotion, which was unnecessary.
It’s more prudent to go through the official procedures.
At this moment, the Flying Ship shook slightly at a high frequency, indicating it was about to dock.
The cabin door opened, and a burly man, clad in dark armor, entered, "All personnel of the 207334 batch rank D inferior, follow me."
The twenty-four young men and women stood up one after another, reluctantly following behind.
After disembarking the Flying Ship, a massive plaza lay before them. Flying Ships continuously docked and took off, the roar of the Spirit Stone Power Cabin intense, like collapsing mountains and rolling stones. Fan Wubing looked towards the distant sky, where a giant dragon’s shadow seemed embedded in the sky, vivid and lifelike. This is where the name Dragon Observation Platform comes from.
In front of the plaza stood a magnificent and grand Suspended City.
Fan Wubing released his spirit, imprinting the surroundings’ details in his mind. The primary focus was determining the cultivation levels of the cultivators here, mostly ranging from Golden Core to Soul Division, with a few in Unity Stage, but they mostly served as recruiting Military Directors.
Those of higher cultivation do not use public channels.
Entering this Suspended City from the plaza, generally, people are referred to as "little soldiers." Warriors of the Fallen Immortal Land are divided into three levels: little soldiers, Demon Slayers, and Demon Suppression Generals, sorted by cultivation. Below Unity Stage, all are little soldiers—unpleasantly put, cannon fodder for the battle lines. Unity Stage and above are Demon Slayers, while Demon Suppression Generals are the significant figures behind each Suspended City.
After verifying his identity, Fan Wubing followed the team into this Suspended City.
As a frontline city, its buildings only include two types, drill grounds and reserves. The streets are well connected, all facilities existing for the convenience of military camp life. The grayish-blue streets, oppressive buildings... everything seemed to urge people constantly forward, not allowing any pause.
Urgency, haste.
Mo Family Workshop-built chariots sped through the streets towards the city’s gates. Beyond the closed gates lay the Fallen Immortal Land. Everyone on the chariots bore heavy expressions and fear for the road ahead. They could not know if this would be their final time venturing out to confront the True Demons.
This atmosphere immediately intimidated the young men and women who had just arrived here.
The group was brought to a new recruit camp in the north district of the outer city of the Suspended City.
In this Suspended City, time is the most precious commodity. Therefore, there was no psychological training for new recruits or any basic training procedures; they were directly assigned to battalions.
The main drill ground was crowded with new recruits from various forces around the world.
Several School Officials at the front performed simple aptitude tests on the crowd to see which battalion they suited.
The division of battalions was not complicated: combat, engineering, logistics.
Fan Wubing sensed the emotions in the main drill ground, and nearly everyone hoped to be assigned to the logistics battalion. The least desired was the combat battalion, which required direct confrontation with the True Demons.
Those assigned to the logistics battalion cheered with joy, while those sent to the combat battalion looked as if they faced certain doom.
Soon it was Fan Wubing’s turn.
A School Official, expressionless in armor, pointed to a Profound Platform formed by condensed breath in front and said to him, "Inject your breath into this Profound Platform."
