High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 951

Chapter 951: Chapter 481: Affecting the Entire Civilization
 

“The war with the Myriad Demons Civilization is over?”

“The Myriad Demons Civilization has been eradicated.”

“Li Yuan defeated and captured all three Pseudo-Gods of the Myriad Demons Civilization?” The Seven Star Civilization’s upper echelon in the meeting was stunned, shell-shocked to the point of being dumbfounded.

Every word spoken by the Lanyue Semi-Divine sent shivers down their spines in awe and disbelief.

Silence!

Absolute silence! Even those with keen intelligence who had gotten wind of the heavy blow struck upon the Myriad Demons Civilization dared not fathom that civilization’s complete extinction.

That was a God Level Civilization, an ancient legacy spanning hundreds of thousands of years.

Moments later, the entire venue erupted in thunderous cheers and furious roars. The upper echelon of the Seven Star Civilization went completely hysterical.

“Victory!!”

“Well-struck! Eradicating the bastards of the Myriad Demons Civilization! Wiping them out entirely was the right move!”

“Li Yuan, the Vice Alliance Hierarch? Wasn’t there widespread speculation that he might have perished? A decade without a single shred of news.”

“He must have been in secluded cultivation all along. Li Yuan, the Vice Alliance Hierarch, is a peerless prodigy. Even in the era of the Dongfang Alliance Leader, Dongfang Ji had already declared that Li Yuan would surpass him and become the greatest powerhouse of our Seven Star Civilization, but no one expected it to happen so swiftly.”

“A Semi-Divine? For a Semi-Divine to defeat three Pseudo-Gods, what kind of monstrous power is this?”

“This is the fortune of our Seven Star Civilization!!”

“In just a few centuries, our Seven Star Civilization has managed to produce beings of defiance against fate like the Dongfang Alliance Leader and Li Yuan.”

“Haha! At last, we’ve won.”

“Three hundred years of war, and finally, we can honor the sacrifice of the billions of lives lost throughout history.”

“Brother, do you know, we’ve finally won! The Myriad Demons Civilization has been eradicated!”

“Rise!”

“With the demise of the Myriad Demons, there are no longer any colossal external threats to our Seven Star Civilization.” The numerous upper echelons present were utterly beside themselves.

Especially the older generation of Semi-Divines and Flying Heaven Warriors.

Semi-Divines like Snow Dragon, Yan Ming, and Bai Shan were so overwhelmed that tears streamed unbidden down their faces.

Their sentiments were incomprehensible to many of the younger generations of Semi-Divines and Flying Heaven Warriors.

From the year 1766 of the Seven Stars Calendar, during the First Feixing War, to today—2067 of the Seven Stars Calendar.

Three centuries!

Younger Flying Heaven Semi-Divines like Alicia and Yu Jinghe, though having experienced numerous calamities and fought in many battles while growing up.

From what they remember, Dongfang Ji was always the unshakable “Seas Calming Divine Needle” of the civilization, and they had never witnessed an existential crisis of extinction-level magnitude befall the Seven Star Civilization.

However, the older Semi-Divines, many of whom have lived for several centuries, had firsthand experience with events such as the First Feixing War—when Feixing fell completely, and over sixty billion people were massacred till none remained on the planet.

The Heavenly Sea Star War, where over ten billion were slaughtered…

In 1920 of the Seven Stars Calendar, during the Second Feixing War, another massacre exceeding twenty billion… In that war, if not for Dongfang Ji’s effort to turn the tide, the Seven Star Civilization would have faced total annihilation.

These were merely wars where the death toll crossed ten billion. In conflicts such as the “Lantie Star Crisis” personally witnessed by Li Yuan—where massacres exceeding one billion occurred—there were over ten such instances…

Both wars at Feixing nearly resulted in extinction of the entire civilization.

Every single invasion by the Myriad Demons Civilization had been aimed at wiping out the Seven Star people entirely.

For this reason, the Seven Star Civilization could negotiate with any other civilization, but toward the Myriad Demons Civilization, everyone from Dongfang Ji to Fang Hai, and every upper echelon of governance had one unified stance: there was no room for negotiation—only one side could survive.

“Well-struck!”

“Total annihilation was the only answer, yet Lanyue Semi-Divine said Li Yuan destroyed ninety-nine percent. Doesn’t that mean there’s a small remnant left? They must be eradicated!!”

“Those remnants likely fled to lower-level Star Realms. They must be purged!! I propose assembling a massive army immediately and storming them.”

“I volunteer for the campaign. I’ll head to the Myriad Demons Civilization now.”

“There must be no survivors!!” The older Semi-Divines were showing signs of near-maniacal determination.

Three hundred years of looming “civilization extinction” anxiety had weighed heavily upon their minds.

Even with Dongfang Ji, Fang Hai, and Li Yuan’s successive rise.

Even as Dongfang Ji annihilated millions of Demon Semi-Divines in one battle during the Third Feixing War, these Semi-Divines never truly felt relieved from the existential crisis… because the Seven Star Civilization’s territory was just too small, its population too sparse.

For them, territory determined the minimum threshold for a civilization’s survival.

In their perception, if the Seven Star Civilization continued to consist of only the Seven Great Planets, during thousands or tens of thousands of years of conflict with the Myriad Demons Civilization, destruction would be inevitable someday.

But today!

Victory! Finally, total victory! The complete eradication of the Myriad Demons Civilization.

At this moment—

In the hearts of many ancient Semi-Divines, Li Yuan’s prominence had risen to rival Dongfang Ji’s, even surpassing him.

One battle to establish the eternal foundation of the civilization.

Only after a long while did the assembly hall gradually grow quiet.

“Next.”

“I urge all upper echelons to prepare yourselves accordingly,” Lanyue Semi-Divine resumed, “We will assemble significant forces to traverse through Star Realms and penetrate the Myriad Demons Civilization, seizing and cleansing each lower-tier Star Realm to prevent revival.”

“After complete purification, we will initiate migrations into the Myriad Demons Civilization’s territory to expand the living space for our Seven Star Civilization.”

“Additionally.”

“With Li Yuan’s push for civilization evolution, over the next eight years, our Seven Star Civilization will gradually give birth to new Life Planets…”

“Over the coming century, we will implement an all-encompassing policy to encourage population growth. Families will be rewarded with fifty thousand Seven Stars Coins for their first child; the second child will bring rewards…”

“Simultaneously, policies to encourage population migrations will be enacted…”

“A universal cultivation program will be implemented, ensuring every child receives Martial Path assistance from infancy…”

“These are just general outlines. Each specific plan and policy will be fine-tuned based on the circumstances of different planets, countries, and migratory destinations.”
