Chapter 135: Three Routes

[Bolts of lightning that were as thick as mountains and rivers struck your body one after another. It was a spectacular sight.

[Your body was in accordance with the Physical Dao. Your body emitted precious light in all directions and was indestructible. In the face of the lightning tribulation that struck you, you waved your fists and shattered all of the bolts.

[Subsequently, you discovered that these bolts of lightning didn’t cause any harm to your body at all. Instead, they were refining and baptizing your body.

[The Sageking Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying. Each bolt of lightning was more powerful than the full-strength attack of a 9th Layer Sage.

[The desolate territory of the universe was like the end of the world. The heavenly tribulation was filled with the aura of destruction laws that could destroy everything in the world.

[Any bolt of lightning contained destructive energy that could kill other Sages.

[As for you, you were bathing in the endless sea of lightning and withstanding the attacks of millions of lightning laws.

“How can a mere lightning tribulation stop me from breaking through?”

[You laughed at the sky, and your long hair fluttered in the wind. You were like an ancestor that had descended from the sky.

[A small golden figure slowly flew out from between your brows. It looked exactly like you. It was your divine soul. At present, your physical body was powerful, but your divine soul was very weak. You planned to use the lightning tribulation to cleanse your divine soul and make it stronger.

[The desolate territory of the universe was being destroyed. It was trembling. The lightning was shattering the endless dark void.

[Your body was sparkling and flawless. The tribulation baptized you. Your body was shining, and there were runes flashing on your body.

[The tribulation was endless and mighty. The lightning bolts kept hitting your body as if they were going to destroy you completely.

[You sat cross-legged in the sea of lightning. Each bolt of lightning constantly baptized your body and soul. Your talent was endless, and you kept absorbing the terrifying power of the tribulation.

[The little golden figure was even more arrogant. After you started to absorb, it opened its mouth and swallowed the lightning. With one bite, more than half of the thundercloud was swallowed by it. It continued to refine and devour, strengthening your soul.

…

[On the 112th day, the Sageking Heavenly Tribulation lasted for 10 days and 10 nights in total. G.o.d knew how many planets were shattered. The entire desolate domain of the universe was filled with a destructive aura. Only then did the curtain fall.

[The golden figure entered your body again, and you slowly opened your eyes.

[In an instant, a golden light flashed in your eyes.

[At an unknown distance away from you, a planet exploded because your eyes were looking straight at it.

“So, this is the real universe…”

[After a long silence, you sighed.

[After you reached the Sageking realm, a system notification sounded in your mind.

“Ding! Congratulations on becoming a human Sageking. Welcome to the human family in the universe. I thought you had established your ident.i.ty and automatically joined the SupremeCosmic Human Alliance…”

[Before you could understand what the Virtual Supreme Alliance was, four emails appeared in front of you.

[One was the universe summary the Virtual Supreme Alliance issued to any human who had just entered the Sageking realm. There was a lot of information recorded in it. There was an introduction to the human race in the universe, as well as a brief introduction to the millions of alien races in the universe.

[After you read it carefully, you realized how shortsighted you were.

[There were more than 100,000,000,000 planets in the universe. The number of life stars occupied by the human race alone was more than 10,000,000,000. There were a total of 103 galaxies, and the galaxy you were currently in was the Silver Bull galaxy.

[The Sage rank was really just the starting point that allowed one to cross the universe, follow the ancient path, and reach the nearby life stars.

[Only those who had reached the Sageking realm were qualified to join the human race in the universe and fight for the human race.

[According to your understanding, there was a Supreme expert in every galaxy of the human race.

[The Sageking realm was only enough for one to govern over a dozen or so life stars as lords.

[A[bove the Sageking, there was the Sage Monarch, Sage Emperor, and finally the Supreme realms.

[A Sage Monarch could obtain hundreds of life stars, while a Sage Emperor could obtain tens of thousands of life stars.

[As for the Supreme beings, there was only one in the Silver Ox galaxy, and his name was Silver Ox Knight. Even among the 103 human Supreme beings, his strength could be ranked in the top ten.

[Of course, the Supreme realm was not the limit of cultivation.

[Among the major races in the universe, races with Supreme beings could be called first-cla.s.s races. They could only ensure the safety of their own race, but they did not have the ability to expand.

[Only races with Heavenly Venerates could be called the top races in the universe. They could unscrupulously harvest the resources of the universe and expand their territories.

[Coincidentally, the human race was one of the top races, and they had three Heavenly Venerate experts.

[As for these three Heavenly Venerate experts, the other three of the four emails were related to them.

[The three emails were all invitations from the three top human forces.

“Respected new Sageking, Zhao Hao, the Virtual Supreme Alliance sincerely looks forward to your joining…”

“Respected new Sageking, Zhao Hao, the Cosmic Human Mercenary Group is sincerely looking forward to your joining…”

“Respected new Sageking, Zhao Hao, the Cosmic Human Army is sincerely looking forward to your joining…”

[Looking at the three emails in front of you, you again fell into deep thought. These three top human forces would recruit every new human Sageking to help them grow.

[Each force was a route choice.

[You began to a.n.a.lyze it carefully. The first email introduced the Virtual Supreme Alliance. This was a very awesome alliance. There was a Heavenly Venerate-level treasure in the alliance. It covered the entire human realm and could allow everyone to enter the Supreme Virtual Universe.

[After joining, it was relatively free—there were no hard and fast requirements. It was a bit more unrestricted, and one needed to pay 10 Yuan per year.

[Yuan was the universal currency of the human race in the universe. It was the highest level currency, and its value was also very easy to evaluate. Take the Ancient World, for example. If it was packaged and sold, it could be sold for about 1 Yuan.

[And a 10 Yuan annual membership fee was undoubtedly an astronomical figure in your eyes at this moment.

[Just by looking at the name of the Cosmic Human Mercenary Group below, one could know that after becoming a mercenary, one would be able to improve themselves by completing all sorts of missions and receiving rewards.

[The last one, the Cosmic Human Army, was even simpler. One would join the regular army, probably without any consideration. By following instructions and the higher-ups’ arrangements, one would be able to improve greatly. The drawback was that one’s freedom was restrained.

[Three big organizations, three paths. You hesitated for a long time before choosing the Cosmic Human Mercenary Group.

[In an instant, your interface changed.

“You joined the Cosmic Human Mercenary Group.”

[A standard welcome speech appeared on the member interface, and then a faint line of words followed:

[New Mercenary Mission (Small Mercenary):…]
