Chapter 1046: Chapter 510: Dongfang Ji’s Heart! Fifty Years of Cultivation (6K)
 

“Establishing a Divine Kingdom?” Li Yuan felt slightly surprised: “Alliance Hierarch, are you confident? Isn’t it too hasty?”

Establishing a Divine Kingdom in the Divine Realm is vastly different from expanding civilization in the Mortal Domain.

The crucial point is that, in the Divine Realm, there is no Plane protection.

Therefore, establishing a Divine Kingdom in the Divine Realm usually requires exceptionally strong power and a sufficiently capable subordinate army to quickly resolve minor troubles within the territory.

Otherwise, if one must manage everything personally, it will be extremely troublesome.

“This is what I mentioned, Master assisted me greatly.” Dongfang Ji said with a smile: “With the support of Master, I’ve already purchased a star system within the territory of the Great Stone Divine Country.”

Within the Divine Court territory, any True God within the Divine Court, provided they have certain permissions, can trade planets and star systems.

Of course, the transactions only involve ‘usage rights’, with regular payments of a large amount of Divine Crystals as taxes to the respective ‘medium-ranked Divine Country’ and the Divine Court, otherwise the territory can be confiscated.

There is another scenario, where you conquer the territory yourself and apply to join the Divine Court territory, requiring much lower taxes, but such cases are rare.

The Divine Court territory is mostly determined through battles and wars among the Heavenly Divine and even Divine Kings.

“Which star system?” Li Yuan asked, curious.

“Kunli Star System.” Dongfang Ji replied.

“I departed from the Northern Hill Mortal Domain, and my first stop was the Kunli Star System.” Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

He had met Zhuang Long Void God, Hong Kai True God, and others in the Kunli Star System.

“Using a star system as the territory for a Divine Kingdom is already quite substantial for an elementary Divine Kingdom.” Li Yuan commented.

From Li Yuan’s knowledge, elementary Divine Kingdoms, varying in strength, typically occupy between a few thousand to several tens of thousands of planets.

Yet, the Kunli Star System, with over 100,000 Life Planets… typically only exceptionally strong elementary Divine Kingdoms can fully occupy a star system.

“The choice of Kunli Star System is also because it’s closest to the Northern Hill Mortal Domain.” Dongfang Ji explained: “This way, whether strong individuals from civilization enter the Divine Realm or matters arise in the Northern Hill Mortal Domain, they can be better managed.”

“But it is also closest to the frontier.” Li Yuan said in a low voice: “If a medium-ranked Divine Country war breaks out in the future, the Kunli Star System will bear the brunt of the pressure.”

The Kunli Star System, within the Chaos Divine Court territory, directly borders the Moonlight Divine Country subordinates of the Wandao Divine Court.

Great Stone Divine Country and Moonlight Divine Country have already fought more than one war.

Limited by its strength, the Great Stone Divine Country generally remains at a disadvantage.

“Where in this world is there a foolproof plan?” Dongfang Ji smiled: “You need not worry too much, as to support my establishment of the Divine Kingdom smoothly, Master sent a True God brigade to the Mohe Star Domain to assist me.”

“True God brigade?” Li Yuan was secretly shocked, is the Blood Feather God Monarch so generous?

According to the military structure of the Chaos Divine Court, a Divine troop consists of ten in a squad, a hundred in a brigade, and ten thousand in a corps.

A True God brigade consists of a hundred True Gods.

Such a brigade of True Gods, a hundred True Gods united, can surely form a powerful ‘True God Battle Formation’ and even operate a formidable ‘War Puppet’, quite naturally suppressing True God Limit Experts.

Such a force is indeed terrifying.

“Of course, they will only assist me for 300 years, helping me through the toughest times.” Dongfang Ji smiled: “Once I ascend to God and the Divine Kingdom gets on track, they will leave.”

“Hmm.” Only now did Li Yuan understand.

This makes sense. Even a Divine Monarch, with numerous True Gods under their command, would find it difficult to assign True Gods to accompany their disciple long-term.

After all, True Gods following a Heavenly Divine aren’t simply servants or slaves, most have pursuits, either for cultivation guidance or treasure rewards…

“Alliance Hierarch, I think it’s still somewhat too hasty.” Li Yuan sighed.

Just using the ‘Time Cave Heaven’ for cultivation, Li Yuan felt it was a bit rash.

“Indeed, it is hasty.”

“But there was no other choice; previously, I didn’t know you would achieve such accomplishments.” Dongfang Ji said: “Back then, my choice was mainly about quickly establishing a strong enough army to return to the Seven Star Civilization during a space window period.”

“Protect the Seven Star Civilization.”

“After all, ten thousand years ago, several Divine Court teams invaded the Northern Hill Mortal Domain, Qing Mo True God gained great benefits and ultimately ascended to Heavenly God.” Dongfang Ji said earnestly: “If another opportunity arises, the Great Stone Divine Country, Moonlight Divine Country, and even the Demon Lotus Divine Country, might send numerous True Gods to invade the Northern Hill Mortal Domain and seize treasures from the Ancient Domain.”

“Our Seven Star Civilization, with two major Star Realm entrances, will be the first to face this and is likely to be affected.” Dongfang Ji said: “Though Divines cannot enter the Seven Star Civilization… there are many strange objects in the Divine Realm capable of destroying entire civilizations.”

Li Yuan listened, understanding it’s also why he must eliminate threats from the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

Compared to future lurking threats.

The Seven Star Civilization is too weak to withstand any turmoil.

Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan: “What you’ve done for your homeland, exterminating the Myriad Demons Civilization, killing Chi Yan True God, suppressing the Immortal Ruins Civilization, enabling the Seven Star Civilization’s evolution and expansion… Liu Bing has told me, it’s well-done, even better than what I did back then.”

“These years have been tough.” Dongfang Ji said emotionally.

Li Yuan’s heart warmed.

As a youth, Li Yuan regarded Dongfang Ji as an idol. Later, his rapid growth was partly due to Dongfang Ji’s help… up to the point Dongfang Ji departed.

Dongfang Ji, in Li Yuan’s heart, was like a ‘senior’ or ‘sage’-like figure.

In terms of strength, Li Yuan may not be weaker than Dongfang Ji now, but he still genuinely respects Dongfang Ji from the heart.
