Wasteland's Only King

Ring of the Sky, various airfield regions.

A considerable number of subordinates have already arrived on micro spaceships.

Using the ’tokens’ issued by the fortress as proof, they queue up to receive their own ’brains’.

These brains all originate from the Serenity Civilization.

The war had completely ended half a day ago.

The Serenity Civilization Lord Laine was stripped of his brain by Yu Fei, losing his soul, and ultimately Yu Jin granted him peace.

As for the other high-tier Evolvers, like Torin and other group army leaders, Yu Jin approached them with the same fairness, sending them all into reincarnation.

Their brains, or rather the knowledge they embodied, were transferred by Yu Fei to the high-level officials of the Dawn Fortress, especially the senior leaders within the legion.

Laine’s knowledge was absorbed by Yu Jin himself.

The knowledge of Torin and others was absorbed by Carol, Tang Yunxuan, and others.

It is worth mentioning.

Cui Xiangyu also voluntarily proposed that he wanted to bear some knowledge and become a newly appointed commander.

But…

Yu Jin’s answer was unexpected to everyone.

“Knowledge can be absorbed, the commander doesn’t need to be appointed urgently.”

“Soon, there will be a truly important task that requires you, Old Cui, to accomplish.”

Two simple sentences. For some reason, they made Old Cui extremely excited on the spot.

Besides Laine and other high-tier commanders.

The other commanders from the seven group armies of the Serenity Civilization, especially those of the large fortress and above, were all personally stripped of their brains by Yu Fei, extracting knowledge.

By special means, Yu Fei stored this knowledge in frozen brains.

Subordinates of the Dawn Fortress only need to collect the brains and, after returning, follow the process, spend a little time absorbing, and they can completely receive the former commander’s knowledge and experience.

In this mode that can be called evil cultivation.

The fortress battleship commanders of the Dawn Fortress are being mass-produced like an assembly line.

The deceased Laine would never have thought.

The Serenity Civilization he led would ultimately become a stepping stone for the Dawn Fortress and Blue Star Civilization in this manner.

…

…

Tower of the Sky, tower top.

Lord’s private area.

Yu Jin sits on a lavish hundred-meter-wide bed.

The sisters Tao Naimu Xiang have temporarily been dismissed by him.

“The war is over…”

“It’s also time for the harvest.”

Yu Jin murmurs softly, his thoughts swaying.

Whoosh—

A translucent light screen pops up before him.

The screen comes from the game “Wasteland”.

Line after line of text is clearly visible.

[Congratulations!]

[Blue Star Civilization Lord Yu Jin!]

[You have completely destroyed the entire military force of the ’Serenity’ Civilization!]

[Civilization Hunter achievement effect triggered automatically!]

[You have received rewards—]

[Super Large Interstellar Fortress *40!]

[Large Interstellar Fortress *500!]

[…]

Line after line of reward information dazzles the eyes.

But Yu Jin merely glances quickly, then looks away.

For the current Dawn Fortress, a mere 40 Super Large Fortresses are no longer attractive.

After all…

As long as Yu Jin was willing, Funi, in the high dimension, could casually deploy over a thousand Super Large Fortresses.

The once extremely precious, single-digit Super Large Fortresses had become almost commonplace resources after Yu Jin’s high-dimensional journey…

“But it’s not completely without benefits.”

Yu Jin narrows his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the final two lines of text on the light screen.

[…]

[Your ranking in the Drake-3 Star System Wasteland has risen!]

[Current ranking: No.156]

A ranking of 156 in the star system wasteland may be remarkable and even worthy of pride for other civilizations.

But for the Dawn Fortress, it seems extremely mismatched.

“The batch of fortresses deployed from Funi’s high dimension…”

“Are not counted or included in the ranking criteria by the star system wasteland rules?”

Yu Jin raises his eyebrows slightly.

The fortress deployment has been several days.

And he, busy awakening with attribute stones, only discovered it now.

“So…”

“The ranking of 156 only calculated Carol’s previous fortresses and the reward fortresses from destroying the Serenity Civilization…”

Yu Jin murmurs to himself, forming some thoughts.

This result was somewhat unexpected to him.

Originally, he thought—

With over 5,000 Super Large Fortresses, he might directly climb to the top of the star system wasteland ranking.

He could also thus speculate on Han Ling’s Celestial God Civilization forces.

Now, this plan has fallen through.

“Not a big problem.”

“Once the Celestial God Civilization is exterminated, first or not, it will be first.”

Yu Jin shakes his head, not entangled excessively.

“The battle against Serenity greatly supplemented the shortage of talent in the fortresses.”

“The urgent shortage of commanders is temporarily resolved.”

“Just…”

“Subsequently, it may be necessary for Funi to deploy several more batches of fortress warships.”

“At that time, talents may be insufficient again.”

Yu Jin furrows his brow slightly.

Although the Serenity Civilization’s subordinates are numerous, in reality, there are only about 200 true Super Large Fortress commanders, even counting the backups, they are less than a thousand.

In comparison to the 5,000-plus Super Large Fortresses of the Dawn Fortress, it still seems insufficient.

Currently, the remaining 4,000 Super Large Fortress commanders are temporarily filled by commanders of the large fortress level.

Thus.

The shortage of talent remains a major issue for the Dawn Fortress in the foreseeable future.

“Hmm…”

Yu Jin gently waves his hand.

Whoosh—

Along with it, a star map light screen emerges.

On the star map, the distant blue coordinate point is remarkably clear.

That is…

An uninhabited planet located at the edge of the Drake-3 Star System Wasteland.

On that planet, there are still a billion players from Blue Star.

That is also the ultimate destination of this journey of the Dawn Fortress.

If not for the Serenity Civilization’s interference, they might have already arrived.

“Must first absorb these billion Blue Star compatriots into the fortress.”

“After all, not long from now, might be the decisive battle with the Celestial God Civilization.”

Yu Jin plans in his heart.

And besides that.

He has another plan.

“Venus!”

This former planet of the Solar System now seems somewhat unfamiliar.

And in fact.

According to Yu Jin’s calculations, the remaining humans on Blue Star have probably already logged onto the Venus Wasteland Planet server.

That was a contingency plan Yu Jin left behind months ago.

The purpose was to prevent the Blue Star Civilization from being completely obliterated under 3I Atlas and extinguishing the fire.

“Perhaps…”

“Can’t wait for their next promotion.”

“High dimension, is ultimately the true beginning.”

“After reaching the uninhabited planet and absorbing one billion Blue Star players, perhaps I should personally go down and see, bringing the last of these Blue Star humans up, promoting, then promoting again.”

Thinking of this, Yu Jin takes a deep breath.

He looks up at the vast starry sky outside the transparent sky curtain overhead.

The starry sky is magnificent and profound, but it still belongs to the low dimension.

The high-dimensional scenes Yu Jin has already glimpsed, but obviously are far from comprehensive.

Intuition tells Yu Jin—

The end and beginning of this “Wasteland” game probably both lie in the high-dimensional universe.

Divine Bloodline?

System origin?

Civilization fire seed?

Atlas?

And the Fallen Federation resembling antagonist characters in Wasteland OL…

Many answers are waiting for Yu Jin to reveal himself.

And before uncovering these answers, what Yu Jin must do is truly become the leader of the Blue Star Civilization.

[Ding—!]

At this moment.

A crisp sound resounds throughout the entire Dawn Fortress and the surrounding starry sky.

Countless subordinates who were originally registering information, queuing to collect brains, or absorbing ’knowledge’ all look up.

“Final half-day, clean the battlefield and finish the aftermath!”

“After half a day—”

“The Dawn Fortress will continue its voyage!”

“The ultimate destination of this starry sky journey is all of the over one billion Blue Star compatriots who are bitterly waiting for us, your relatives, friends, companions…”

“Please join with me in working hard—”

“To let the Blue Star Civilization shine in this vast Star River!”
