High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Chapter 375: Li Yuan’s Responsibilities (Bonus Chapter)
 

“Since the Myriad Demons Civilization will definitely be aware,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine said gravely, “Feixing must undergo a large-scale migration. With the Origin Power Array, other trump cards left by the Dongfang Alliance Leader, and so many First Rank Star Masters… our chances of victory are not low, it’s ultimately not like over a hundred years ago.”

Everyone couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

The great war of Feixing more than a hundred years ago, at that time, the Seven Star Civilization had fewer than thirty demigods… It was almost entirely dependent on Dongfang Ji.

Times have changed.

The Seven Star Civilization has grown stronger, even though Dongfang Ji perished, facing the Myriad Demons Civilization, they still have the power to fight.

“But we must consider defeat before victory, we must prepare for failure,” Bai Shan Semi-Divine continued, “Apart from many treasures, the migration of Feixing is mainly about the population. I suggest primarily moving towards Heavenly Sea Star, Blue Star, and Firefly Star… Not to mention Entry Rank Warriors, even the ordinary population must be relocated.”

“These,” he emphasized, “are the future of our Seven Star Civilization.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Migration is a must.” Everyone nodded again, only with a large population could Martial Path prodigies emerge, and only from a group of prodigies could a demigod emerge.

“Then, initiate the inheritance plan. The major planets should also try to move to the Second Level Star Realms we’ve completely occupied, so that even if the great planets fall, we can preserve their vital energy and not be completely destroyed.” When Bai Shan Semi-Divine said this, he couldn’t help but look at Li Yuan, “Fortunately, Li Yuan destroyed many Second Level Star Realms back then… Now our space for survival will be much larger than before.”

“That’s a great contribution.”

Many demigods looked at Li Yuan, who had swept through many Second Level Star Realms back then; his contributions were still countable… Now, they seemed immeasurable.

You see, the environments of most Star Realms are harsh, not suitable for large populations to live in.

But the many Second Level Star Realms that Li Yuan had destroyed were very suitable for living.

Not to mention places like Mingxu Star Realm and Mystic Demons Star Realm, they could easily support billions of people.

However, according to the experience accumulated over the past few centuries, the beings born in Star Realms mostly have very low Martial Path potential, and the hope of becoming Flying Heaven Warriors or even demigods is much lower than that of life born on planets… Therefore, neither the Seven Star Civilization nor other civilizations have deliberately developed large breeding areas.

Breeding a large population consumes immense resources.

But now, merely as a temporary ‘refuge’, the numerous fully occupied Second Level Star Realms are crucial.

“Do I need to sweep through those Third Level Star Realms?” Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.

After the crisis on Lantie Star had ended, many Foreign Civilizations hoped for peace talks, but the time was too short, so very few actual treaties were signed with those civilizations.

If he really wanted to act, with Li Yuan’s current strength, he could sweep through most of the Third Level Star Realms.

“No,” Lant Semi-Divine shook his head, “Li Yuan, sweeping through Third Level Star Realms is easy for you, ordinary demigods can’t stop you, but we would struggle to hold them… Doing this would only lead more Alien Civilizations to wage war against us.”

“Even if you temporarily wipe them out, once you withdraw, they can still emerge from the Third Level Star Realms… Once we start fighting the Myriad Demons Civilization, they could join the battle, which would only magnify our troubles.”

Li Yuan nodded in understanding.

As time passed, the nine powerful beings present gradually discussed and came up with various plans, and soon began to disperse, sending orders to their subordinates among the Flying Heaven Star Lords.

Demigods mainly prepared for the upcoming decisive battle; this was the core.

As for things like migration? Patrolling? Guarding Third Level Star Realms and so on, those were tasks for Flying Heaven Warriors and Origin Warrior Sect to handle.

In the end, in the Starfire Realm, only Li Yuan and Fang Hai remained.

“Principal,” Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai, unable to hold back, “Tell me, is the Dongfang Alliance Leader really gone?”

Until this moment, Li Yuan still harbored hope.

Perhaps Dongfang Ji was playing a larger game.

“Ah,” Fang Hai gave a bitter smile, “I too hope teacher is still alive, but I have no need to lie to you. Even if the Soul Lamp is false, can Soul Control be faked? You also have Soul Servants; you should understand better than me.”

Li Yuan’s heart trembled.

Indeed!

Li Yuan practiced “Soul Nine Refinements”; he understood the techniques of Soul Control better than any other demigod.

“It shouldn’t be,” Li Yuan clenched his teeth.

“I find it hard to accept too. Teacher, before he left, said it would be an easy journey and that he would return after a while, how could it… But this is reality,”a trace of bitterness flickered across Fang Hai’s face.

Then, Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, “Li Yuan, I’ll be honest with you, among all the demigods in our civilization, there’s none I trust completely, you are the one I trust the most.”

“Trust none?” Li Yuan’s pupils constricted.

Not even Lant Semi-Divine or Bai Shan Semi-Divine?

“Teacher handed the Seven Star Civilization into my hands, so I must be extremely cautious,” Fang Hai’s eyes sparkled, “I must be absolutely rational, and must not let emotions cloud my judgment.”

Li Yuan listened silently.

“The other demigods, it’s very difficult for them to ascend to divinity, so if they want to surrender, the Myriad Demons Civilization might accept them,” Fang Hai stated solemnly, “Only you and I… unless we are willing to be controlled by Soul Control, the Myriad Demons Civilization will never allow us to survive.”

“We pose a great threat to the Myriad Demons Civilization,” Fang Hai said.

Li Yuan nodded again.

Other demigods had a way out, but he and the principal did not.

“Li Yuan, you and your Heavenly Serpent Spirit Beast, your main task is to help defend the Six Great Planets,” Fang Hai said, “Secondly, there are a few important tasks for you.”

“Principal, what is it?” Li Yuan asked.

“Take away the Divine Artifact Chamber, Star Technique World, and Martial God Inheritance,” Fang Hai stated gravely, “These three are the most important legacies of our entire civilization… I have to stay to defend Feixing, and there’s a risk I might perish, so you will take these items away.”

Li Yuan was deeply moved.

The so-called Martial God Inheritance, among other things Li Yuan had entered, he naturally understood their significance.

What trust this was.

“Once you’ve taken them away, bring the Divine Artifact Chamber to each planet, meet every demigod,” Fang Hai continued, “Allow these demigods to choose two ordinary Divine Artifacts each from the chamber.”

“First Rank Star Master, you may choose one superior Pseudo-God Artifact,” Fang Hai said. “At the moment of civilization’s life and death, we cannot be bothered with rules… we must strengthen everyone’s power as much as possible.”

“Understood,” Li Yuan nodded.

The Divine Artifact Chamber contained hundreds of artifacts, invaluable… It was not reliable to entrust them to other Flying Heaven Warriors.

Only I can reach different planets quickly.

“Anything else you want to ask?” Fang Hai said.

“Principal, I want to know, why are you and Lant Semi-Divine so certain that the Myriad Demons Civilization would know about the fall of the Dongfang Alliance Leader?” Li Yuan could not help but ask, as this was his most puzzling point.

“Soul Control,” Fang Hai said directly. “The teacher has controlled the souls of two Demigods from the Myriad Demons.”

“Among the controlled Demigods, one holds an extremely high position within the Myriad Demons Civilization, named Ye An,” Fang Hai sighed.

Li Yuan was surprised.

Ye An Demigod?

This!

That was the number one Demigod of the current Myriad Demons Civilization, possessing Semi-Divine Peak strength, yet he was controlled by Dongfang Ji’s soul?

“Was it during the battle over Feixing more than a hundred years ago?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes,” Fang Hai did not hide it.

Li Yuan marveled; during the battle over Feixing, only Ye An Demigod had escaped back to the Myriad Demons Civilization… That was one of Ye An Demigod’s famous battles, and unexpectedly, it turned out that he was secretly let go by the Alliance Leader.

Absolutely unimaginable.

However, this also clarified for Li Yuan why, during battles like the one in Ming Xu Star Realm, their side always seemed to have advanced intelligence on the Myriad Demons Civilization… If the leader of the opposing side was a mole, how could they not know the intelligence?

This also reminded Li Yuan of Xue Yan, whom he controlled.

According to the message he sent back, Xue Yan had already broken through to become a Flying Heaven Warrior.

“If the teacher really has fallen, then those two Demigods must have regained their freedom,” Fang Hai said. “As long as they are not foolish… they will surely report to the East Demon Divine.”

Li Yuan nodded understandably, no wonder Fang Hai and the others were certain that the news of Dongfang Ji’s fall could not be concealed.

“I understand,” Li Yuan nodded. “Principal, I’m still puzzled, why must I take over as Vice Alliance Hierarch now?”

Logically, there was no need to rush.

“Do you know why we are holding this meeting in the Starfire Realm?” Fang Hai said. “There are places for alliance meetings.”

Li Yuan shook his head.

That was another curious point for him.

“The Starfire Realm is the ‘place of authority granting’ left by the teacher, where the Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch are inaugurated,” Fang Hai solemnly said. “Only here, by obtaining approval from more than half of the Demigods of our civilization, can we gain the recognition of the Starfire Realm and truly be Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch.”

Li Yuan seemed thoughtful.

A place of authority granting?

“You becoming Vice Alliance Hierarch, already have the authority key,” Fang Hai said. “Soon, Elder Yun will find you again and will tell you the real secret of Blue Star, and you will understand.”

“Okay,” Li Yuan nodded.

Elder Yun had not appeared just now, and he was somewhat puzzled, so it turned out he would look for him again.

“By the way, Alliance Leader,” Li Yuan said. “I also specialize in the technique of soul control… Those imprisoned Alien Race Demigods on Feixing, could I try to control them?”

“You?” Fang Hai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Indeed, you have controlled Sang Qiu Demigod… There are 28 imprisoned Alien Race Demigods; once you finish handling the artifacts, come immediately to Feixing, and I will have Senior Lant take you there to attempt.”

“But your soul hasn’t reached the Pseudo-God Level yet,” Fang Hai said.

“No,” Li Yuan shook his head.

“Then the hope is not great,” Fang Hai sighed. “These imprisoned Demigods are basically at the Semi-Divine Peak.”

“Semi-Divine Peak?” Li Yuan was startled inwardly.

The Dongfang Alliance Leader had captured so many Semi-Divine Peak experts? How did he manage that?

Indeed, troublesome.

Even ordinary Demigods were not something Li Yuan was sure he could overpower, let alone those at the Semi-Divine Peak? There was even less hope.

“The teacher is a Pseudo-God Level soul… even he has difficulty forcibly controlling them and relies on time to wear down their will to resist, eventually making them bow, but these years, only two have been controlled,” Fang Hai said.

Pseudo-God Level soul? Li Yuan was inwardly shocked.

It was rare for someone in the Flying Heaven Realm to possess a Semi-Divine Level soul, not to mention a Demigod possessing a soul of the Void God Realm… This was even more rare and unusual than an unbeatable Demigod.

But considering the other party was Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan was not surprised.

“Then we can only try negotiations,” Li Yuan said.

“Negotiations?” Fang Hai was momentarily stunned.

Quickly, Li Yuan voiced his thoughts, and upon hearing them, Fang Hai nodded, “That can be considered.”

How many Semi-Divine Peak experts are there in the Seven Star Civilization altogether? If Li Yuan could control a few Demigods.

Then, the lack of peak combat power would be greatly alleviated.

After discussing everything.

Li Yuan’s thought also left the virtual network… because he had just received the latest message from Elder Yun.

“Vice Alliance Hierarch Li Yuan, come immediately to Xia Country Capital.”
