Furthermore, due to the confidentiality of wars, all soldiers involved in exterminating alien races were prohibited from communicating with the outside world.
Localized space wars commonly lasted for an extended period, spanning hundreds or even thousands of years.
In other words, being selected for conscription meant that even if Lin Yuan survived the confrontation with the alien races, he would likely spend the latter half of his life aboard cold, outer-space warships.
He would never set foot on the life-filled planets, their lands, and oceans.
Especially those like him whose rank in the HIA was a bit special, they was among the elites of the elites, the best of the best
But unlike what others may think, they weren't revered as heroes of humanity or role models for the younger generation.
They were the ones who lived at the dark so humanity could bath in the warmth of the sunlight.
Those knowledgeable of it's existence call them the "Shadows Of Humanity". Others afraid of their might shivered when the term "Nightwalkers" was mentioned.
The Unnamed. That was name of the Organization created by the HIA, home to the most ruthless, dangerous and dreadful machine-like humans trained with the sole purpose of eliminating any danger that threatened humanities existence and prosperity.
Landrid stood in silence, his gaze profound. Calculating the time, almost four years has elapsed since his last mission
During these four years, besides immersing himself in understanding and practicing the insights he gained from all his traversing, Landrid had also acquired a certain vital information that might lead to disastrous consequences if not handled well
The source of his information came from a Galactic Level Organisation named "Gods Garden".
As an owner of a Void Zone and a major force in the Universe, the Gods Garden couldn't completely isolate itself from the world. On the contrary, its intelligence network extended throughout various corners of the Universe Using faith as pretext, they had infiltrated several other races both weak and strong to become their subordinate
According to Landrid's knowledge, the current God's Garden was governed by this generations Seer, while the Holy Son being acted as deterrent to all other forces. It ruled the Void Zone and maintained an era of prosperity
Even the millennium-old Galactic Level Organisation's had to bow before it
According to the information circulating in the public, there existed at least ten Great Origins in God's Garden
It's worth noting that there were probably no more than twenty of people at that level in the entire Universe
Having one was enough for any race to dominate an entire Plane
An example was the HIA, though it had no Great Origin level combatant, it's dominance over the many celestial bodies, forcing many other races to submit or face extinction, was due to the existence of an Origin Wielder.
The reason for the HIA's profound strength was due to its founding Emperor and thus it could be considered a powerful race around the middle of the hierarchy when counted in the Universe
Even the techniques left by this Emperor was almost impossible to practice, only with his help could others try and have a glimpse at his Way of Ethereality.
In the Universe, each person was a host to the Ethereality Power System which with it's help brought countless civilizations to prosperity and extinction.
Cultivation starts from the first tier which involves opening nodes in the body for the easier passage of Ether. This method is the one commonly used by many living beings to increase their physical life level
For those focusing on other paths, they embark on the path of Spiritualization which involves the use of Ether to cast Spells, manifest Soul Armaments, and occult mastery.

In most physical life forms, the path of Ethereality was based on the physical body, combined with the spirit, undergoing constant transformation. Although progress was slow, the power and lifespan obtained from this path was enormous
At least it was much more promising than the path treaded by other Universes where the practice of Qi and Aura is solely based on physical evolution,and cultivation involving the soul is rare or even absent. Once they encountered evolved beings like "Psionics", they were usually swept aside without suspense.
Two days later, on a high mountain bereft of any signs of life, a tall youth slowly walked out from a wooden house with a
He had a slim build, short hairstyle with pure white strand, reminiscent of a divine light
Despite the color, his hair was well-maintained and neatly trimmed.
His eyes were a light blue, glinting with a mixture of satisfaction, calm that almost bordered indifference.
Looking at his stature, an experienced person would notice that this youth exuded a profound aura only a few could display
A Lord!!
He Landrid had already taken that step and become a Lord capable of dominating a planet
In the past, the birth of any Lord would have caused Phenomenon to occur around the area, with it being an extremely sensational event, with congratulations coming from all directions and countless people bowing down. However, Landrid found it dull.
Ever since he exchanged moves with Lin Yuan eight years ago, he realized that there were always people beyond people and realms beyond realms.
So what if he became a Lord?
In the face of that "entity", even a Great Origin was slapped to death like an ordinary person
"Not enough, not enough, sigh if only I had more time."
He muttered in pity as he shook his head silently
He raised his head abruptly, his gaze bypassing several layers of space to land on a Huge World, vibrant with life and home to countless life forms.
"It has begun"
Buzz!
