High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 699

Chapter 699: Chapter 376: Gu You’s Gift! Blue Star’s Base_2
 

Liu Bing, that was someone who possessed extremely high Law Comprehension, combined with the Nine Layer Star Technique, and a top-grade Pseudo-God Artifact, to have such an exaggerated speed.

…

As Li Yuan hastened towards the Capital City at full speed, in the Ancient Divine Palace, his Divine Sense avatar was also communicating with Gu You.

“I can’t do it either,” Gu You shook her head.

“Sister, is there really no way?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s not that there’s no way; it’s just that it can’t be done right now,” Gu You looked at Li Yuan, “Brother, you should know that I am not truly a living being… Father entrusted the Ancient Divine Palace to me, granting me extremely high authority, and I trust you completely, so I am willing to give you as much help as I can within my authority.”

“That’s why I followed you when you risked going into the Second Level Star Realm.”

“You didn’t have a suitable weapon, and so I helped to refine a Divine Artifact.”

“But some things exceed the scope of my authority.”

“I cannot disobey Father’s orders,” Gu You said. “Unless you now pass the fourth challenge, I could bring out more of Father’s special treasures.”

“Then, stopping an army of demigods should not be difficult,” Gu You said.

“The fourth challenge?” Li Yuan fell silent.

According to Sister Gu You, one normally needs to reach the Semi-Divine level and cultivate for a long time before there’s hope to pass the fourth challenge… Even for him, having spent too little time accumulating power in the Flying Heaven Realm, now breaking through to become a demigod would likely offer no hope of passing.

“Sister, sorry, I’m making it difficult for you,” Li Yuan said with a bitter smile.

Gu You possessed extremely high intelligence, but she must be something like a support AI, or a Spirit of a Haven, or a Magical Treasure; otherwise, she couldn’t have lived for so long.

Likewise, she had to obey the commands left by her master.

There were some fundamental orders left by the Ancient Torch Divine that she could not defy.

“Brother, things are far less dangerous than you think,” Gu You shook her head. “The war has not broken out yet, maybe the Myriad Demons Civilization doesn’t dare to start a war at all.”

“Even if the war breaks out, even if you fail, you can still retreat to the major Star Realms; it won’t lead to the extinction of the civilization in the short term,” Gu You said. “By that time, you just hide somewhere in the cosmic starry sky, and after several decades in concealed cultivation within the Ancient Divine Palace, not to mention a group of demigods, even Pseudo-Gods wouldn’t be able to find you. With your talent, by then, you would likely possess invincible demi-godlike power.”

“Even power comparable to a Pseudo-God is possible.”

“Then, you can lead your clansmen in a counter-attack, and rebuilding the Seven Star Civilization will be a piece of cake,” Gu You said.

“No!” Li Yuan shook his head.

“No civilization can last forever, not even the mighty Heavenly Serpent Clan can avoid downfall; likewise, the Starry Sky Ancient City, which claims to have a legacy of hundreds of millions of years, has its day of falling, even the recognized strongest Divine Court will turn into ruins,” Gu You said in confusion. “Isn’t it normal for civilizations to rise and fall? The Seven Star Civilization with its population of hundreds of billions, having geniuses like you and Fang Hai, is already very fortunate.”

Gu You did not understand Li Yuan’s thinking.

In her eyes, the crisis the Seven Star Civilization was facing was nothing at all.

As long as Li Yuan could survive, she didn’t care about the survival of the Seven Star Civilization.

“Sister, if I didn’t have the power, it would be another matter, like if the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain erupts in turmoil tomorrow, threatening to destroy the entire Dimensional Plane… I would have no choice but to watch helplessly.”

“But with the crisis at hand, I now have the strength, and I absolutely do not wish to witness that scene happen,” Li Yuan said gravely. “I will go all out to prevent the war from erupting within our civilization.”

“I do not want to see Feixing’s tragedy repeated.”

The education he received since he was young.

Everything he experienced after stepping onto the Martial Artist’s path, from the Mingxu Star Realm to the Fish Spirit Tide, and then to the Rob Sea Star Realm, the Lantie Star crisis—all of these shaped Li Yuan.

He absolutely did not want the scenes of crisis seen in Lantie Star to be replayed on every planet.

The disaster of Feixing was even more of a nightmare.

Should it come to that, hundreds of billions of lives would be lost, countless flourishing cities would become ruins.

“Do you really need to go all out?” Gu You shook her head.

“If the situation becomes truly irretrievable, I will retreat,” Li Yuan said earnestly. “I am well aware that only by surviving can we maintain the last hope.”

“Alas,” the young girl said, “I can’t persuade you; so be it… I will help you one more time within the limits of my authority.”

“Your Divine Sense projection, it has reached the Hundred Battles Chamber,” Gu You said.

“Alright,” Li Yuan’s heart stirred.

…In the Ancient Divine Palace, inside the Hundred Battles Chamber, which primarily contained a very vast Hundred Battles Arena.

However, Li Yuan hadn’t been there in a long time.

“Look below,” Gu You pointed at the empty Hundred Battles Arena, whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!

Immediately, large amounts of silver liquid rose up on the arena, and then quickly solidified to form humanoid figures, each wearing Combat Armor and holding a weapon, densely packed together.

They appeared as a rigorously disciplined army formation.

In the blink of an eye.

The Hundred Battles Arena was suddenly filled with as many as several thousand Silver Armored Warriors exuding powerful presences, neatly aligned, as if carved from stone.

“What are these?” Li Yuan held his breath.

“Each of these silver armor puppets possesses Flying Heaven Peak strength,” Gu You said. “And when they form an array with each other, if ten combine, they can barely contend with a Flying Heaven Limit Expert.”

“There are a total of three thousand of them.”

“I can temporarily give them to you,” Gu You looked at Li Yuan. “This is the greatest extent of help that I can offer.”

Li Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Wasn’t this equivalent to having three thousand Flying Heaven Peak Experts?

Although the Seven Star Civilization had tens of thousands of Flying Heaven Warriors, only so many could likely reach the level of the Flying Heavenly Palace.

“These are merely Heavenly Level puppets; they cannot withstand an army of demigods, but with them, your defense of the various Second Level and Third Level Star Realms will be much easier, and greatly help reduce casualties among your civilizational populace,” Gu You said.
