Wasteland's Only King

Chapter 398 - 108: Baptism of Knowledge! The Rain Still Falls! Yin Yao Cosplays a Free Bird! (2)

Even though...

Since arriving at Dawn Fortress, he has not yet seen anyone stronger than Tier Nineteen Evolvers, except for Wu Yufei.

However...

Isaac Griffin dared not make any reckless moves.

The only reason being—

The moment he arrived at the fortress.

A powerful intuition arose from the depths of his heart, almost palpable: "If I resist, I will die!"

The intuition of a Tier Nineteen Evolver could not possibly be unfounded.

Therefore, there is only one possibility.

"The real powerful being of this civilization’s force, perhaps even that ’Supreme Lord,’ is quietly watching me!"

Isaac Griffin could not comprehend or imagine the level of the ’Supreme Lord’ that Chen Gang mentioned.

He only knew—

It’s likely that the opponent only needs a thought to kill him, a fellow Tier Nineteen Evolver.

"Tier Twenty?"

"The real Tier Twenty?"

Such an absurd and bizarre guess even emerged in Isaac’s mind.

"Welcome!"

"All of you from the Farben Civilization!"

The bustling and noisy hall of the Tower of Knowledge suddenly echoed with a resonant voice.

The one speaking was Wu Yufei.

And as this sentence fell.

All 10.5 billion people from the Farben Civilization present, tall and slender like bamboo poles, were dumbfounded.

Even Lord Isaac, at this moment, was filled with surprise.

"This, this is..."

Isaac widened his eyes, almost doubting his hearing.

At this moment.

What Wu Yufei said was the purest ’Farben language’!

It should be noted.

In this vast and infinite Wasteland Star System, the languages and scripts between civilizations do not coincide.

On usual days, the reason why major civilizations can communicate seamlessly is purely due to the rules of "Wasteland" at work.

Under its influence—

All exchanges of different languages can be precisely transformed into the same, comprehensible information.

Writing is the same.

But now?

"Farben language..."

"It seems, still with the Kyoto accent..."

An indescribable feeling surfaced in Isaac’s heart, vaguely bringing a sense of fear.

"Relax, everyone."

"Perhaps..."

"The way you came here was not so dignified, even laced with some coercion."

"But..."

"Trust me, soon you will feel immense pride and gratitude for the decision you’ve made!"

Wu Yufei’s voice rang again.

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Buzz—

Buzz, buzz—

Behind him, a crystal palace, clear as crystal, teeming with numerous symbols appeared.

"For the future of Dawn Fortress..."

"For your own future..."

"For the future of this starry sky..."

"Everyone, you might need to undergo a small baptism..."

Yu Fei’s voice gradually lowered.

Yet the crystal palace behind him burst with dazzling light.

Then...

Swish—

Swish, swish—

In the vast, limitless hall, it began to rain heavily.

This rain, however, was not made up of raindrops but symbols and... beliefs.

Dawn Fortress now holds over twenty thousand super large interstellar fortresses, as well as a terrifying number of fortress warships.

According to Yu Jin’s vision—

All the subordinates of Dawn Fortress should become fortress warship commanders.

But...

A fortress, a warship, a fleet, could not be composed solely of commanders.

99% of it is, in reality, made up of the lower-level crew or, in other words, soldiers.

The 10.5 billion people from Farben, along with other soon-to-arrive subordinates from other civilizations, are precisely meant to fill such roles.

However...

Soldiers are unlike slaves.

Soldiers must be loyal, must be zealous.

And for this step...

Yu Jin had no leisure time to cultivate their loyalty slowly as with Blue Star players.

So...

"Loyalty!"

Wu Yufei clasped his hands and shouted aloud.

The light from the crystal palace behind him surged again.

And within him, the vast, indescribable energy poured down.

The 10.5 billion subordinates in the Tower of Knowledge were all cleansed and baptized by ’rain of knowledge.’

Their expressions turned from initial bewilderment to gradually dazed, then to lost and numb, and eventually... gave birth to loyalty.

Without a doubt.

This was an inhumane baptism that reached straight to the soul.

"No..."

"Damn it!"

Isaac Griffin sensed the anomaly.

He could clearly feel—

His thoughts, cognition, consciousness, even memory, were constantly changing under this ’rainwater.’

As a Tier Nineteen Evolver, he even felt a strong sense of bewilderment and dizziness.

And the others around them?

When Isaac turned his head and looked at the countless citizens who once were loyal to him behind him.

On their faces, Isaac saw ’fervent loyalty’.

But the object of this fervent loyalty was no longer him, but Dawn Fortress, was Blue Star Civilization.

"No!"

Isaac was angry, completely furious.

In his view, this was more terrifying than directly killing 10.5 billion citizens of the Farben Civilization.

Puppets?

Slaves?

Walking corpses?

Isaac could not accept this as reality; as a Lord, he must stand up and stop all this from happening.

But...

Buzz—!

Suddenly.

A soft hum sounded in his ears.

Countless waves of attribute energy intertwined, sweeping through the narrow space around him.

Also subjected to these waves were other high-tier evolvers from Farben like Isaac who tried to resist.

They, along with Isaac, were forcibly immobilized on the spot as if they were sculptures.

"No..."

Isaac tried to shout but couldn’t make a sound.

The time and space around him began to gradually stagnate.

Crash—

Crashing—

And the rain of knowledge still fell continuously...

...

...

Dawn Fortress, Tower of the Sky.

The private area of the Lord.

Yu Jin withdrew his gaze from the Tower of Knowledge.

The initially fierce aura of energy fluctuations around him slowly calmed down.

"That should do it."

"The situation from here on, Yu Fei should be able to control."

Isaac Griffin, the Lord of Farben, wasn’t wrong in his intuition.

The moment he arrived at the fortress, Yu Jin’s attention was fixed on him.

And just now.

When he, along with a group of Farben high-tier evolvers, tried to resist Wu Yufei’s ’baptism of knowledge’, it was precisely Yu Jin who took action.

"Chairman..."

In front of Yu Jin, Yin Yao was standing gracefully.

As the Vice Lord of the fortress, she too was watching the situation within the Tower of Knowledge.

"What?"

"Do you think I am too cruel, somewhat unable to bear it?"

Yu Jin looked at Yin Yao and softly spoke.

"No."

Yin Yao’s answer came swiftly.

She shook her head, her face full of seriousness: "The survival of the fittest, it has always been this way."

"This is the law of nature, and also the law of cosmic civilizations."

After hearing that, Yu Jin smiled faintly.

It’s excellent that Yin Yao could have such an awareness.

After all, she was the one Yu Jin personally appointed as the Vice Lord of the fortress, and she often represented his will.

"Chairman..."

"I came here today to report to you about a recent matter within the fortress."

Yin Yao pressed her lips, speaking softly.

"What is it?"

Yu Jin slightly raised his eyebrows.

As of today.

Almost all matters, big or small, within Dawn Fortress hardly needed his intervention; Yin Yao, Naiya, and Carol, among others, handled them excellently.

A matter that needed to be reported to him?

It surely wouldn’t be a trivial matter.

"Hmm..."

Yin Yao responded, then uttered a name: "Dawn Sword."

As the words fell.

Yu Jin first paused, then laughed.

"You, chairman..."

"Do you permit its existence, and growth?"

Yin Yao, astute and perceptive, saw Yu Jin’s reaction and found her answer in her heart.

Dawn Sword, the newly-emerging Dawn alliance within the fortress over the past two days.

It was initiated and founded by Bai Zhining and Zhong Muqing, and within merely two days, it had already attracted tens of millions of subordinates to join.

Dawn Sword instantly became the most prominent civilian alliance within the fortress.

Yin Yao reporting this matter was certainly not due to envy or jealousy of Bai Zhining’s and Zhong Muqing’s achievements, but out of concern whether the existence of Dawn Sword might outshine the host.

"I can only say..."

"If they hadn’t established Dawn Sword, I would also have you or Naiya form a whatever Sword or whatever Blade."

"You should understand what I mean."

Yu Jin did not offer much explanation because this involved future high-dimensional promotion plans as well as information about the Celestial Fleet of Gangval Star.

"I overthought, causing the Chairman to laugh."

Yin Yao slightly lowered her head, speaking softly.

"Ha—"

This gentle demeanor suddenly stirred a playful mood in Yu Jin.

"Senior Sister."

The long-familiar address made Yin Yao’s delicate body freeze on the spot.

"There should be no problem in putting aside your tasks for half a day, right?"

With these words from Yu Jin.

Yin Yao’s face turned red, inch by inch, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Come to think of it.

It had been a while since she last cosplayed as a free bird...
