High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 692

Chapter 692: Chapter 372 Commander Li Yuan_2
 

“It really is coincidental, Kuba has recently made some breakthroughs in his cultivation,” Soylo said with a smile. “After all, he has just condensed the Law, and it’s a time of great progress. I hope the Commander can understand.”

“It’s not like we need him to leave seclusion,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. “A virtual network meeting only requires a fraction of one’s attention. Is he really unable to spare that much time?”

Everyone present was no fool; they naturally heard the underlying implications in the words of Harlin Semi-Divine and Bai Shan Semi-Divine.

“Enough.”

“The breakthrough in Kuba Semi-Divine’s strength is good for us at Blue Star and for the entire civilization,” Li Yuan said with a smile. “I actually have no urgent matters today. It’s fine if Kuba Semi-Divine couldn’t make it. There will always be another chance to meet.”

“Just that, I’m new here.”

“Although I’ve read many documents, documents are just documents, after all. I’d rather the esteemed seniors here introduce the situation to me,” Li Yuan said with a smile.

“Sure,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. “Harlin, why don’t you start with the Starry Sky Martial Hall?”

“Sure,” Harlin Semi-Divine nodded. “Commander, Starry Sky Martial Hall mainly oversees this part of the virtual network. All of Blue Star’s…”

Time passed.

With successive introductions from Harlin Semi-Divine, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and Selvie Semi-Divine, with Li Yuan occasionally asking questions, he gained clearer cognizance of the entire operation of Blue Star.

…

More than an hour later, the demi-god assembly concluded, and the other Semi-Divines left one after another.

In the meeting room, only Li Yuan and Bai Shan Semi-Divine remained.

“Starfire Martial Hall and Black Stone Martial Hall each control half of the regions in the reality of Blue Star,” Li Yuan remarked. “Starry Sky Martial Hall, however, controls ninety percent of the virtual network’s permissions.”

“That’s a lot of power.”

“No wonder inside Xia Country, only Starfire Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall exist,” Li Yuan remarked with a sigh. “While in places like Europa Continent, there are only Black Stone Martial Hall and Starry Sky Martial Hall.”

“Correct!”

“It’s a design of competition,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. “Overall, Blue Star has six thousand Flying Heaven Warriors, of which forty percent are in Starfire Martial Hall, forty percent in Black Stone Martial Hall… and only about twenty percent in Starry Sky Martial Hall. Starry Sky Martial Hall has the weakest martial force, but it controls the economic operations of countries, setting various economic policies.”

Li Yuan nodded silently.

It seemed that while Starry Sky Martial Hall controlled the virtual network, it still depended on reality and was subjected to fragmented control by various countries… ultimately forming a balanced situation of mutual checks.

No matter the entity, seceding from the entire civilization would be a difficult endeavor.

“Is there a conflict between Harlin Semi-Divine and Soylo Semi-Divine?” Li Yuan asked.

“Not so much a conflict,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a smile. “It’s just that Soylo often has disputes with Harlin over the interests of Black Stone Martial Hall and his mother country. Kuba, being led by Soylo, naturally would side with him… Kuba Semi-Divine’s absence today might also be a form of protest.”

“Protest?” Li Yuan pondered. “Is it his discontent or Soylo’s?”

Li Yuan had a general understanding of Blue Star’s seven Semi-Divines.

Black Stone Martial Hall and Starfire Martial Hall each had three, and the competition was fierce… As the only Semi-Divine from Starry Sky Martial Hall, Harlin Semi-Divine held a naturally more detached status.

“Hard to say,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine remarked thoughtfully.

“But you need not worry about it,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine said with a sigh. “Actually, this underlying conflict has existed for a long time… Logically speaking, he was supposed to become the Blue Star Leader decades ago, based on his strength not being inferior to mine.”

“But at that time, Alliance Hierarch strongly pushed Fang Hai,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. “Back then, few people were convinced by Fang Hai, and some even openly embarrassed him.”

“Unconvinced?” Li Yuan was taken aback.

“Back then, Fang Hai’s strength was even slightly lacking compared to a Semi-Divine,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine explained. “Unlike you, who has made great achievements and contributions… How could they be convinced by Fang Hai in their hearts like they are with you?”

Li Yuan slightly nodded.

Being the Blue Star Leader was mainly about spiritual tempering; in the short term, it wouldn’t significantly enhance one’s strength.

But for one’s disciples, relatives, and even one’s home country… it could be tremendously beneficial, involving many interests.

A word from the Commander, a single document, could bring immense benefits to a country, deciding the livelihood of millions.

“Thus, they believe that the Hierarch is suppressing them,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine shook his head. “With your arrival forcing Soylo to step down again… His seat barely warmed up, what do you think they feel?”

Li Yuan understood.

It would likely only deepen their existing impressions.

“Would the Alliance Hierarch suppress them?” Li Yuan shook his head. “It’s just that the Hierarch favors Xia Country more, with more resources available within the civilization, and they are all on Blue Star… it’s merely an illusion they’ve created.”

“But many precious cultivation resources were obtained by the Hierarch himself, and it’s entirely up to him to decide who to give them to,” Li Yuan remarked.

Everyone has their biases.

Who could be without them?

Like Li Yuan, who used the treasure resources he obtained for his uncle and aunt, and also to repay some elders who had been kind to him in the past—Li Yuan felt it was perfectly justified.

“Furthermore.”

“Different perspectives.”

“The Hierarch, back then, was looking from the height of the entire Seven Star Civilization, training the principal as his successor,” Li Yuan continued. “To the Hierarch, Blue Star is just part of the civilization, and being the Blue Star Leader is merely a training position. Reality has proven the Hierarch right, as now the principal has smoothly taken up the role of Vice Alliance Hierarch, gradually taking control of the entire alliance.”

Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn’t help but nod.

Li Yuan saw it clearly. Suppress Soylo Semi-Divine?
