Chapter 89: Battlefield of Providence

“Battlefield of Providence!”

A few minutes later, the four of them stood in the middle of the Three Thousand Restaurant. The ground was covered in white jade, and many people were gathered around them. In the middle were some green stone pillars that led straight to the sky. Furthermore, a large amount of bright yellow light that represented the power of providence of humanity floated around the edges of the circular building.

“What gives this place its name?”

Lu Zhishen, who remained appearing pale and beardless, sounded puzzled.

“As the name—Battlefield of Providence—suggests, it’s naturally a place to fight for the light from providence.

“However, strictly speaking, apart from the ‘battlefield’ function, one of the goals for its setting up is also to facilitate communication between different human civilizations.

A voice as clear as a mountain spring sounded in Ji Ye’s ears, making him subconsciously think deeply.

Turning around, he saw a slender, purple-clothed woman who wore a long dress that reached the ground while remaining spotless. Her appearance couldn’t be described as devastatingly beautiful, but she had an immortal-like aura.

“Manager!”

The waiter behind Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen immediately bowed when he saw the purple-dressed woman.

Following that, they learned the woman’s identity from his introduction. She was a “manager” of the Three Thousand Restaurant!

The highest level of the Three Thousand Restaurant was the “boss” mentioned by the waiter previously. Of course, the traditional style could also be called “Restaurant Owner.”

Next were some “managers” who managed the projections of different restaurants.

“The boss said that there are two esteemed guests here, but I didn’t expect there to be three. Sorry for my lack of hospitality!”

The purple-dressed female manager smiled and said, her demeanor resembling an immortal’s.

Although it gave people the feeling that a fairy from the clouds had fallen into the mortal world, causing some Yang City players who were secretly watching to feel somewhat regretful, to Ji Ye and the rest, it felt even more realistic.

“Sister Manager, you’re so beautiful!”

“What did you mean when you said that the Battlefield of Providence can facilitate communication between human civilizations?”

Ning Ling said with a sweet smile as she grinned.

Calling herself “Yu Long”, she explained, “This is because the Battlefield of Providence is different from ordinary battlefields.

“The so-called battlefield is actually a Small World formed by the power of providence.

“The background of each battlefield world is formed by the fusion, competition, and construction of the power of providence from the civilizations that are fighting.

“Therefore, in these battlefield worlds, humans from different civilizations can understand each other’s heroes and great deeds…”

“Are the heroes in the civilizations their true bodies?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Ye’s expression changed.

If that was the case, then couldn’t he build a good relationship with some famous heroes in advance?

“It’s just a ‘projection’ that uses the power of providence to condense their form and intent. It’s not their true bodies. However, they also have some abilities of their own. In fact, in some cases, they might even be stronger than their true bodies.”

The purple-dressed manager, Yu Long, shook her head.

“Since it’s called a ‘battlefield’, there must be a victor; with losses and rewards, right?” Ji Ye asked.

“Esteemed guest, you are indeed perceptive!

“That’s right. After entering the Battlefield of Providence, one will leave the City of Humans once they die. Only by obtaining the right to enter again can one enter. All the items brought in will belong to the victor. More importantly, the settlement of the loser and even the power of providence from the civilization will flow to the victor.”

the purple-clothed female manager explained.

“I get it. It means that this is a battlefield where we fight the aliens for the power of providence!”

Ning Ling widened her eyes in realization.

“Strictly speaking, it’s not the same species, but mainly between humans!”

However, the purple-clothed female manager’s words stunned everyone.

“Between the humans? Isn’t the establishment of a City of Humans mainly to distribute human resources and allow the humans to develop in a more reasonable manner? Wouldn’t such a battle reduce the combat strength of the humans?” Ji Ye asked in confusion.

“Firstly, competition and even hatred are inevitable within any species. Having a channel that can allow both parties to fight is far better than forcefully restricting them.

“Secondly, the loss of providence caused by civil wars between species is not serious. It’s far inferior to losing to aliens.

“Thirdly, this Battlefield of Providence is like a Civilization Coin. It’s not completely controlled by any species. It has its laws of operation.

“Internal competition is also a type of struggle. After some matches, it’s only natural to encounter aliens on the Battlefield of Providence.

“When you emerge victorious, you will seize the light from providence of the alien settlements with the most potential. It will also be a true battle between species, a fight between those with the most potential!”

the purple-clothed female manager explained.

“I see!”

They nodded.

However, Ji Ye actually knew that the City of Humans definitely supported such “internal competition.”

This was because a portion of the human settlements would definitely lose in the competition with aliens.

Instead of letting this portion of providence flow out and benefit other species, it was better to transfer the light from providence and some of the resources in the relatively weaker settlements to human settlements with greater potential!

As for which settlement had more “potential”?

Then, it naturally depended on the Chosen Ones and heroes who represented the human civilizations who entered the Battlefield of Providence.

Winners naturally had more potential and had more substantial benefits.

This was because for the settlement, once they obtained more power of providence, they could advance faster and surpass the aliens in the Ten-Species Competition!

For individuals, they could obtain large amounts of excellent weapons and resources.

In a sense, the benefits of killing a player and killing a monster were different!

And for losers, it was not too cruel.

This was because what entered the City of Humans was a body that was transformed from the settlement’s power of providence. The true body was actually still inside the settlement, so they wouldn’t truly die. There was a possibility of a comeback!

“By the way, there’s another advantage. The flow of time here is different from the outside. Even if several months pass here, only half a day would have passed outside.

“This is similar to cultivating with EXP, but it’s more useful than EXP. This is because in the Battlefield of Providence, there are many Legends and even projections of Mythical heroes from human civilizations. Even though their strength and realm might not be as powerful as their true bodies, if you can obtain guidance from them, it will definitely be something one would want!” the purple-clothed female manager said with an ethereal voice.

“In particular, according to what I know, there’s a possibility of obtaining some special items from these heroes. As such, your settlement will become one of the choices when they descend in the future!”
