Chapter 1774: Chapter 172: The Draft Order Arrives

After settling his family members, Peter Brown went to the Moon to establish a base, and he hadn’t been working on it for a few days when Paul Nash found him.

Seeing Peter Brown working on the base, Paul Nash sighed and said, "Stop what you’re doing, your military conscription order has arrived!"

Inviting Paul Nash into a courtyard he had arranged, Peter Brown brewed a pot of tea for him and asked, "What exactly is the situation?"

"You know, although our Divine Nation is vast, precisely because it’s so large, there are problems everywhere within the country. Our Star Domain is still better off, but the Cancer Domain has now descended into chaos."

"What happened?"

"This is the situation: the Cancer Domain area has always bordered another Divine Nation. The region was conquered by our Divine Nation, and now, after some internal issues within the Divine Nation, some strong persons in that region seized the opportunity to cause trouble. After a sudden battle, the Purpolia Kingdom suffered a defeat, with many areas being occupied. The Divine Nation is now assembling a punitive force and conscripting from our region. Your one-star status had just been reported, and it’s known that you have never served in the army before, so this time you must enlist."

Looking towards Paul Nash, Peter understood that none of this was Paul Nash’s fault. Being newly advanced to one-star and hailing from the Lower Realm, they couldn’t risk not reporting him; if they didn’t, they would be punishing themselves.

"How do I get to the army?"

Regarding this, Peter truly knew nothing.

"You’ll use the teleportation formation from My Place to get there. After gathering in the Shire, you will then convene at the Provincial Government House. From there, the Provincial Government House will organize and lead the way."

"Is there any way to ensure my survival?" Peter inquired.

Shaking his head, Paul Nash said, "The troops I served with were peacekeeping soldiers; we never fought in any wars. I honestly don’t know what could help you; you’ll have to rely on yourself."

Glancing towards Earth, Paul Nash said, "I will take care of your family; you can leave with peace of mind."

"I appreciate it."

"Sigh, I had hoped that you would cooperate with me in safeguarding this region. I never expected such an incident to occur, and now I cannot assist you. Be very careful, that’s all."

Peter did not leave any messages for his family; they all knew that such a day would come for him. So after conversing with Paul Nash for a while, Peter went with him towards his station.

"Peter, the current situation is really complicated. The war this time, I’ve learned from my family, is no ordinary conflict. Some aim to amass a great share of luck through this war. One misstep and you could become cannon fodder. Stay alert, and if you can escape, do so. Of course, you shouldn’t desert your post. You know the Divine Nation takes a heavy hand towards deserters, killing them on the spot."

"We’re about to break through the protective shield, be ready."

While in flight, Paul Nash suddenly spoke up.

Before Peter could understand what was happening, he noticed there indeed was a protective shield or something similar ahead. When he saw Paul Nash head straight into it and then vanish, Peter also rushed toward it and collided with the shield.

As Peter collided with it, what appeared to be a robust shield shattered in an instant, and Peter found himself bursting through.

This sensation was extremely peculiar; it was as though he had suddenly emerged from water, or as if he’d burst forth from a mire.

In any case, it was an entirely novel feeling.

After breaking out, Peter found himself standing in starry space, and the sight of planets felt like surfacing from underwater.

Seeing Peter staring in amazement, Paul Nash laughed heartily and said, "How about that, unexpected, isn’t it?"

"I really hadn’t imagined it; is this what you meant when you said that Our Place was covered by a shield?"

"In order to hoard luck, people of the Divine Race create special spaces at home. In your terms, these are like breeding grounds. To put it bluntly, where you come from is essentially a place where you’re being bred for the sole purpose of harvesting an unceasing flow of luck from you."

Though Peter wasn’t too comfortable with this statement, it now seemed to be true, and he felt rather stifled.

Looking at Peter, Paul Nash continued, "Of course, these breeding grounds also offer a chance: if someone can break out, such individuals are powerful in every aspect. The mere fact you escaped proves your strength. You should take pride in that."

"Who created this breeding ground?"

"I truly don’t know. From what we can see of your place, it’s actually not that significant in the eyes of the Divine Race, quite small even. Due to its size, few pay attention to what happens there. I wouldn’t have noticed your development if I hadn’t spent money to acquire this area. No matter how advanced your technology became, it couldn’t break through that shield—any attempt to breach it with technological power would be extremely difficult."

"Even on Earth, some postulated that the planet was covered by a shield and that what we saw was merely an illusion. It seems technology still allows people to realize certain things, doesn’t it?"

"Realization aside, to truly break free requires two things: physically you must withstand the chaotic currents of starry space and survive; and second, you must break the protective shield. You’ve seen it for yourself; this shield is not ordinary and has viscous properties. A flying vehicle would have been stuck on contact."

"Peter, strive to gain more luck. If you can amass even a one-star worth of luck, you can save your family members."

Stirred by these words, Peter felt a surge of motivation. This was a pathway into the Divine Realm.

"If they come, as one-star destiny individuals, do they have to serve in the military?"

"That will depend on you. If you become strong enough, even if they serve, with your protection, nothing too dangerous will happen to them. Many who come from the Lower Realm are busy earning luck."

"The way you put it, the battlefield really does seem like a good place to earn luck!"

"Remember, if you encounter someone with a Star Planet, eliminating them allows you to move that planet into your domain. Then you will have the luck of a one-star. However, such people are rare."

The more Peter heard, the more it seemed there were plentiful ways to seize luck, the key being whether he could seize the opportunity himself.

"This region is like an ocean, and up ahead is my territory. Use the teleportation formation to leave when the time comes." Paul Nash continued to lead Peter forward.
