Three days later, the spaceship landed on Tie Mu Xing, the closest star to the Demon Suppression Abyss.

All Spiritualists heading to support the Demon Suppression Abyss must first assemble on Tie Mu Xing. After the Military Department finalizes the personnel allocation plan, they will be transported to the Demon Suppression Abyss in a unified manner.

Tie Mu Xing could be described as a super-large war fortress, with military bases spread across the planet. In orbit, countless battleships, like silent iron giants, encircle the entire planet in an impenetrable iron shell, constantly prepared for potential unrest in the Demon Suppression Abyss.

This planet lacks the noise of commerce, with every inch of space filled with the tense atmosphere of war—this is the first line of defense of the Azure Wood Star Realm against the Demon Suppression Abyss, where any slack could mean utter destruction.

Following the coordinates sent by Yan Qing, Qin Tian went directly to the reception area of the Sixth Battle Zone of the Demon Suppression Abyss to report.

When nearly two hundred people stepped off the flying device, they attracted the attention of those nearby, like a branding iron plunged into boiling water.

The black heavy armor worn by the Barbarian Battle Group glinted coldly under the sunlight, the collision of armor plates creating a dull metallic symphony. Each step on the alloy ground resonated with subtle vibrations. The giant axes on their shoulders, the javelins on their backs, and the flails at their waists all exuded a battle-hardened aura.

At the side of the team, the half-beastman Xiong was bare-armed, his bronze muscles well-defined, standing over three meters tall, his mountain-like physique forming a stark contrast with Qin Tian's upright figure beside him.

The Poisonous Widow, in contrast, wore a tight combat suit that accentuated her alluring curves, with silver spider silk entwined around her fingertips, faintly visible in the sunlight, radiating a lethal beauty that seemed out of place with the solemn atmosphere around her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, another scion of a bloodline clan brushing up military merits." A mercenary squatting on the ground, wiping a battle sword, clicked his tongue, his gaze sweeping over the Barbarian Battle Group's equipment, his tone full of bitterness, "Look at this armor, all forged from star iron, they sure are wealthy."

His companion spat on the ground: "It's no use being envious. They were born in Rome, where hundreds of people would shed blood for them at the snap of a finger, while we can't even reach their starting point, no matter how hard we fight."

"Isn't that the truth," another mercenary scoffed quietly, looking at the Poisonous Widow, "Coming to the Demon Suppression Abyss with a beauty—can't forget to enjoy himself for a moment. I remember last time, a member of the Golden Clan brought seven maidservants and got devoured by demons in the Three Layers of the Demon Abyss, not even bones remaining."

"Mind your own business," someone quietly reminded, "These bloodline scions have clans backing them, we can't afford to offend them. Better watch what you say, or you might stir up unnecessary trouble."

The whispers around him buzzed into Qin Tian's ears like mosquitoes, but he didn't even lift an eyelid. Although these words were harsh, they confirmed what Yan Qing had said—the privilege of bloodline clans had long become an open secret.

Entering the reception building, a Lieutenant Colonel in uniform quickly approached Qin Tian in the hall.

"Hello, is this Colonel Qin Tian?"

The Lieutenant Colonel's gaze swept over the group behind Qin Tian, his tone very polite.

"I am."

Qin Tian nodded.

"Colonel Qin Tian, hello, my name is Wang Hai. Regarding the documents you submitted, our department has completed the review. Let's have a detailed discussion over here about your specific duties."

Wang Hai led Qin Tian into a small conference room. After sitting down, Wang Hai got straight to the point:

"Colonel Qin Tian, I need to verify again, you are a Tier Five Spiritualist, accompanied by four Tier Five subordinates and nearly two hundred Barbarian Warriors with Tier Three to Tier Four strength. These Barbarians do not wield Spiritual Energy, but their physical bodies are extremely powerful. Is this information accurate?"

"Accurate!"

Qin Tian nodded, "The Barbarian cultivation system is quite unique. If you're not assured, feel free to have someone verify it."

"That's best,"

Wang Hai explained, "Colonel Qin Tian, the strength of your troops determines the level of position you can undertake after entering the Demon Suppression Abyss. Therefore, verification is a necessary process, please don't overthink it."

Wang Hai remained respectful throughout. From the documents, it appeared that Qin Tian was already a Colonel Officer at a young age, accompanied by a strong team, indicating his background was not simple—at least a member of the Silver Clan.

"No problem, it's your job."

Qin Tian instructed Terreda to accompany three Barbarians to undergo the strength examination with the officer.

After about fifteen minutes, Wang Hai was summoned out of the office. Upon returning, his enthusiasm was even more pronounced.

"Colonel Qin Tian, every one of your men is a top fighter ~"

From Wang Hai's words, it was not hard to discern that the Barbarians' combat performance was impressive, earning their approval.

Wang Hai continued, "There's something I need to clarify in advance. Within the Demon Suppression Abyss, all combatants are Spiritualists, so the position assignment will be downgraded compared to outside. For instance, your Colonel rank would at least be a regimental commander in a regular unit, but in the Demon Suppression Abyss, you might have to start as a battalion commander."

Truthfully, Wang Hai withheld that if Qin Tian had come alone, obtaining even a deputy battalion commander position would be in question.

"No problem, I accept," Qin Tian said frankly.

"That's good. As for which battalion you'll be specifically assigned to, we need to contact the Demon Suppression Abyss battle zone headquarters to confirm. Please wait for the next couple of days," Wang Hai said solemnly.

"Alright."

After leaving the reception building, Qin Tian headed straight to the base hotel.

Here, staying at the hotel does not require payment. All rooms are reserved for the warriors about to head to the Demon Suppression Abyss.

In this way, Qin Tian waited for three days in the room.

Three days later, the Sixth Battle Zone reception area gathered all registered personnel together.

At a glance, Qin Tian saw that the number of people had exceeded ten thousand.

Over ten thousand Spiritualists, this was an immensely powerful force, yet, this was only the first batch of support personnel for the Sixth Battle Zone. More Spiritualists would continuously arrive to report.

"Colonel Qin Tian, this is your military tag."

Wang Hai handed a dark golden token to Qin Tian. The token was rectangular, with carefully polished edges, heavy in the hand, seemingly forged from some high-density alloy. ​

The front of the token was laser-engraved with his name and position, the characters "Qin Tian" sharp and incisive, evoking a metallic coldness. Below, the words "Captain of the Third Battalion of the Chijin Battlegroup" were clearly visible, each character distinct, gleaming faintly gold under the sunlight.

The edge of the token had a ring of fine lines engraved, a unique anti-counterfeiting symbol of the Military Department, said to be capable of verifying the holder's identity information through energy sensing, preventing forgery. ​

Qin Tian received the military tag, his fingers gently caressing the smooth surface, feeling the subtle relief brought by the engraved characters.

This small token was not only his identity proof for operations in the Demon Suppression Abyss but also a symbol of this team's recognition by the Military Department under his command.

Qin Tian watched as the battleship slowly descended overhead, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

To the Demon Suppression Abyss, I come.
