A figure stalked through the undergrowth, trampling over the trees and plants. They were clearly just a bit more than a meter tall, and yet they looked like a giant due to the size of the trees and plants.
This was a strange place where the trees were the height of grass, which made ordinary people appear like giants.
The figure stopped from time to time, as though searching for something. After some time, the figure turned and headed in a particular direction.
Right in front of the figure was a tiny form that was hiding in a round bush. The tiny individual saw the figure heading in a different direction and let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a slitted, scarlet eye appeared in front of the tiny individual, and it stared straight at him.
The tiny individual was badly startled, and he fell back, emerging from the bush.
He looked no different from any other human, but he was only the size of a normal person’s palm.
And the figure that had been stomping through the trees was naturally a corpse king.
The corpse king stared down at the palm-sized person and reached out to grab him.
The hand-sized man shrieked, pulled out a small bow, and fired an arrow.
Despite the man’s diminutive size, his arrow was far from weak. The attack easily pierced through the corpse king’s hand, drawing blood.
However, the single arrow seemed to consume all of the small person’s strength, and he was no longer able to flee.
The corpse king reached out, grabbed the small man, and squeezed.
There was a soft pop, and blood dripped to the ground.
The corpse king opened its hand, looking at the shattered body.
The monster wiped its hand on the ground and then continued on its way.
This was the Lilliput Universe, a part of the Endless Frontiers.
…
The void split open, and several people fell out. They were Lu Yin and his companions.
Lu Yin looked around in surprise. What was this?
They had appeared in a city that had clearly been abandoned for a very long time.
It was far from uncommon to encounter abandoned cities in the Endless Frontier. Even so, this particular city’s buildings were quite odd. Most of them were only waist-high, and even the tallest were only ten meters tall. The doors, windows, and even the landscaping were also shrunken down to a much smaller size.
Their escort saw their location and heaved a sigh of relief. "How lucky! We didn’t end up in the middle of a battlefield.
"Dao Monarch Lu, Lord Cang Bi, this is the Lilliput Universe. The natives of this universe are only as large as your palm, which is why the buildings here look like this. This lowly one has completed the mission, and I will return now.”
"If you need anything, sirs, just speak with the locals. It is very easy to distinguish friend from foe on the Endless Frontier."
Lu Yin asked, "How are military achievements recorded?"
The man replied, "That is also the responsibility of each individual parallel universe. They are required to verify each accomplishment, based on their own intelligence gathering abilities."
Cang Bi added, "There are simply too many people joining the Endless Frontier every single day, which makes it impossible for all of them to receive an ID card, as well as unnecessary. This place is a battleground, and for most people, just surviving is accomplishment enough, and they don’t even consider trying to achieve anything on the battlefield.
"Military achievements are simply unattainable for most people, and those who pursue such things are not the average combatant, which makes them easy to distinguish."
Lu Yin understood. Rather than saying that the Endless Frontier was a battlefield, it was more accurate to call it a meat grinder.
It was not actually a battlefield, but a slaughterhouse.
With that, the escort left.
The others all looked at Lu Yin, clearly wanting him to take the lead.
Of course, Lu Yin could not take these people with him. It was already very lucky for them that he had brought them to the Lilliput Universe.
He first released his domain, as Lu Yin searched for the natives.
After finding one, he grabbed Cang Bi and they both instantly disappeared.
Far away, several people were fighting against a corpse king on a meteorite in space. One of the people was an ordinary human, and they had already fallen to the ground, seriously injured.
The corpse king waved an arm, deflecting arrows before attacking and shattering one of its opponents’ bodies into pieces. In an instant, there were only two small figures still moving around. They stood next to the fallen man, staring at the corpse king. Fear and determination warred in the eyes of a small person, but he still raised his bow, holding an arrow in a firm grasp, despite his trembling arms.
The corpse king slowly walked forward, a hand stretched out.
Two arrows flew through the air, only to be easily deflected by the corpse king.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew through the void. It was black and easily visible.
A powerful wind sweeping through outer space was certainly not a normal phenomena.
As the black wind swept by, the corpse king’s upper body vanished, instantly and completely destroyed. All that remained was the lower half of the creature’s body.
The man lying on the ground breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the two hand-sized people, they collapsed onto the ground next to the man.
Suddenly, Lu Yin and Cang Bi arrived, and they were instantly noticed by the three people on the meteorite.
The man who had fallen to the ground became ecstatic as soon as he saw that the two men did not have scarlet eyes. "Are you here to help?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Though it doesn’t look like we’re needed anymore. What was that black wind? Is it coming back?"
He looked at the two palm-sized people.
The man struggled to get to his feet, but he did not manage to do anything more than cough up blood. He was barely able to make any sound at all. "Have them explain."
