"Menglong, I have a request!"

All eyes suddenly focused on Luo Ze.

He was the highest commander of the entire Universe Seven, a great level nine life form, and he actually lowered himself to speak to Zhang Menglong in a tone of request.

"I hope that you will train the warriors of our entire Universe Seven!"

Luo Ze's request did not surprise the others.

Everyone had already seen Zhang Menglong's capabilities; he had trained such a powerful force single-handedly in just one year, displaying astonishing prowess in personal martial skills, military equipment, special operations, and other domains.

To put it bluntly, no matter which legion, none would last even a Cosmic Day under this corps without the intervention of the legion commanders. One legion could easily defeat the entire army of Universe Seven!

If he trains the entire force, perhaps in a year, Universe Seven could have a super legion with combat abilities comparable to level six life forms. Then, forget self-defense; they could potentially sweep through various universes and become the ruler of this battleground beyond worlds!

"General, I'm willing to do this, but given the current situation, both in terms of my energy and resources, we can only nurture one such legion."

Zhang Menglong spoke candidly, "To develop such warriors requires an extremely daunting amount of resources. My warriors eat meals daily that are equivalent to the top-grade genetic potions. To put it mildly, even if we drained all the resources of Universe Seven, it would be difficult to achieve."

Luo Ze said nothing; he understood that everything Zhang Menglong said was true. Cultivating such a formidable legion without massive resource input is absolutely impossible out of thin air.

"But if you give me enough time, I think we can give it a try." Zhang Menglong took out a space storage device, "General, there is one thing we can start doing now."

"What is this?" Luo Ze took the storage capsule from Zhang Menglong's hands.

"These are seeds of certain herbs," Zhang Menglong said. "In alchemy involving Alchemy Technique and medicine refining, what's most scarce are copious amounts of precious medicines. I have the conditions for planting here. Based on the energy-rich environment of the battlefield beyond worlds, I have ways to let them mature quickly. After the first harvest, we can continue to expand the planting!"

These medicinal seeds have undergone genetic modification by Zhang Menglong. In those high-grade worlds, many herbs take hundreds or thousands of years, but following scientific modification, this time can be significantly reduced, and the yield greatly increased.

The blend of science and fantasy is undoubtedly a big bug.

"There is also a Foundation Technique suitable for almost all race civilizations in here. When paired with the medicines concocted through alchemy, even if they cannot match the combat power of my troops, they can at least be several times stronger than they are now!"

"Good! Starting today, any troops without combat missions should start planting these herbs, but this Foundation Technique..." Luo Ze browsed through it; the contents were obscure and hard to understand, so much that even he couldn't comprehend it.

In fact, this is quite normal. The "Foundation Technique" Zhang Menglong gave him is a basic cultivation technique from a large sect in a fantasy world. Since the worldviews of the two worlds are different, how could the cultivation methods be the same? Without the knowledge system from that world, it's impossible to learn it.

"I will send someone to guide them," Zhang Menglong said.

"That's wonderful!" Luo Ze showed a hint of joy. He didn't expect the entire Universe Seven to become as formidable as Zhang Menglong's troops in just a few years; that was indeed unrealistic. However, what they lacked least was time! After millions of years of battles, what's a little more time?

"General, there's important intel!" At this moment, a legion commander suddenly received a message from his subordinate.

"Speak!"

"Recently during an operation, our people discovered a vast mineral area that has never been mined. According to the latest intel, this area could potentially store a large amount of Star Cores!"

"What? Star Cores?" Everyone was taken aback.

In the entire battlefield beyond worlds, the most important things are nothing but two: energy and materials.

Since the battlefield beyond worlds was created by the fusion of various universes, during the fusion process, the pressure between universes and the convergence of energy led to the formation of a very extreme environment for a period, resulting in a large number of energy mineral veins.

The energy mineral veins here generally have a terrifying reserve and high quality. Once discovered, it leads to a bloodbath.

The development and expansion of every civilization cannot do without these energy sources.

The largest mineral vein discovered so far had a level five Energy Crystal output exceeding 98%. Its size was greater than the sum of the reserves of the 100 largest Energy Crystal mineral veins in the entire Universe Seven.

At the time, to contend for this mineral vein, a battle erupted near it involving hundreds of universes with over 2,000 legions being deployed!

It is said that more than 1,500 legions were wholly annihilated, a truly tragic event, and Universe Seven also retreated in defeat with heavy losses.

Ultimately, the entire mineral vein was occupied by the 188 Universe and the 203 Universe's United Legions.

This time, there actually appeared a mineral vein for Star Cores, something unprecedented on the entire battlefield beyond worlds.

"How large is its scale?" Luo Ze asked.

"Very large, surpassing the No. 7 Energy Crystal mineral vein!"

"That large?" Even the experienced Luo Ze was shocked.

The No. 7 mineral vein currently ranks third in scale on the entire battlefield beyond worlds. Its annual output is twice the total Energy Crystal output of Universe Seven, and the opposing side specifically deployed several legions to carry out its mining work.

"If we obtained that mineral vein, we would never again worry about energy resources!" Luo Ze was aware of the immense power of the weapons developed by Zhang Menglong, and likewise, the energy consumption was terrifyingly high.

But if they had a continuous supply of energy, then these would no longer be issues restricting their development.

"What's the current situation?"

"We discovered that this mineral vein has just likely emerged. The energy cloud reaction produced when it contacts the air must have been detected by many civilizations. According to the intercepted information, hundreds of opposing universes and our allied forces have already started preparing to deploy their legions to compete for it."

"We absolutely cannot let go of this mineral vein!" Luo Ze immediately decided, "Regardless of the outcome, Universe Seven must join in on the action."

"Who among you is willing to go?"

No one answered because every legion commander knew the importance of the Star Core. This battle might scale to unprecedented levels. Any legion might become cannon fodder in the competition, and Universe Seven's combat prowess isn't considered strong. Most likely, they wouldn't return.

Because during the last mineral contention, a total of more than 200 legions were invested, and Universe Seven's legion suffered over 80% losses, with several Level Eight life form level vice legion commanders perishing.

"Ah, the dirty and tiring work still falls to our legion!" Zhang Menglong shook his head, "General, leave this matter to me."

"How sure are you about securing that mineral vein?" Although Zhang Menglong's legion was strong, this wouldn't be a one-on-one; it could very well be one-on-several-hundred or even thousand!

"Secure it? What are you talking about, it's already our mineral vein! We're just going to take back our things."

"???

"If I, Zhang Menglong, have my eye on something, it is mine!"
