High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 997

Chapter 997: Chapter 498: First Entry into the Divine Realm (7K)_2
 

“Yes.” Lant Semi-Divine and Lanyue Semi-Divine both replied.

“Additionally,”

“If the Seven Stars Plane encounters an external invasion and the Pseudo-God Puppet cannot resolve it,” Li Yuan paused: “Go to Source Star and find the Li family. They may be able to resolve it… This secret is privileged information for the Alliance Hierarch and Vice Alliance Hierarch only.”

The two instantly understood that Li Yuan had left the Li family with a stronger backup strategy.

“And as for the relationship with the Heavenly Serpent Clan,” Li Yuan continued, “There are now over forty Pure Blood Sky Snakes in the Myriad Demons Civilization. They have only signed equal contracts… In the Mortal Domain, they are destined to be mere visitors.”

“Do not bother the Heavenly Serpent Clan too much,” Li Yuan instructed.

Lant Semi-Divine and Lanyue Semi-Divine nodded; they could both feel Li Yuan’s concern for the civilization.

“Sigh.”

“When the departure is imminent, one always worries about many things,” Li Yuan said with a smile. “But enough, leave behind all that must be left… Lant Semi-Divine, Lanyue, both of you possess the potential for Becoming Pseudo-God; I hope you won’t slack off in your cultivation.”

“In the future, there is hope for us to meet again.” Li Yuan said.

“You’ve given us quite enough already,” Lant Semi-Divine remarked with emotion.

Li Yuan nodded slightly; he had specially prepared gifts for Lant Semi-Divine, Lanyue, and others.

But Ascending to God… it’s like watching Lie Feng Semi-Divine’s passing helplessly.

The path to Ascend to God must ultimately be walked alone.

No matter how many treasures there are, they are merely auxiliary.

“Go without worry. You’ve done more than Dongfang already. Right now, the entire civilization practically faces no major external threats.” Lant Semi-Divine said.

“I know, both you and Dongfang going to the Divine Realm are taking big risks as well.”

“We will never slack off,” Lant Semi-Divine pledged seriously. “The rise of a civilization cannot rely on just a few individuals… If something were to happen to you two, what then?”

“Although the probability is very low, we still have to plan for it. If it comes to that, the Seven Star Civilization might face extreme peril,” Lant Semi-Divine said.

With two shortcut paths leading to Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, the Seven Star Civilization is destined to attract envy.

“I, Lanyue, and countless Semi-Divines within the civilization will strive with all our might,” Lant Semi-Divine said. “We will also work to ensure the emergence of more powerful figures within the civilization.”

With the Seven Star Civilization’s foundation, there is hope for surpassing the Immortal Ruins Civilization… If it can continue to maintain dozens of Pseudo-Gods and tens of thousands of Semi-Divines over a long time, then it will be extremely stable.

“Good.”

“Dongfang Alliance Leader and I are striving and exploring in the Divine Realm. It can also be considered paving the way for our civilization,” Li Yuan said with a smile. “Someday, when our civilization nurtures numerous Divines, they can keep venturing to the Divine Realm… Ultimately, we can also establish a great Divine Kingdom of our own.”

The rise of a civilization happens this way, through continuous generations of effort.

…

Li Yuan returned to Source Star, where the whole family had long been waiting upon hearing the news.

Compared to over nine years before,

Not only had Li Muhua given birth to another son, but even Li Yuan’s nephew ‘Li Yu’ had married and had children… The entire family had grown even larger.

However, compared to some families in the Seven Star Civilization and even some super families in the Divine Realm, the Li family was still relatively small.

“Little Yuan, how many years will this journey to the Divine Realm take?” Aunt Chen Hui asked.

She was now a Flying Heaven Warrior herself, naturally privy to much information.

“Short, a hundred years,” Li Yuan considered. “Long, several hundred years, perhaps even over a thousand.”

What awaited in the Divine Realm was unpredictable for Li Yuan.

“Big brother, how far away is the Divine Realm?” Li Qianqian asked, unable to hold back.

“The Divine Realm exists in a different space-time than the Mortal Domain,” Li Yuan explained. “If you must know distance… tens of billions of light-years.”

That is the distance from Mohe Star Domain to Ziwei Star Region.

As Purple Garment Semi-Divine, Li Yuan’s destination this time was Ziwei Star Region, where Chaos Divine Court is located.

The whole family was shocked.

Tens of billions of light-years? Such a distance was beyond their comprehension.

Too far.

“The Divine Realm,” Li Muhua said in a low voice. “Legend has it that it is the world of gods… containing countless Life Planets, where numerous Divines have emerged… Tens of billions of light-years, how long would it even take to get there?”

Li Yuan sat there, sighing inwardly.

Why had he gone all-out to kill Chi Yan True God? Why had he fought so fiercely to secure a stable environment for Seven Star Civilization?

Even after overthrowing Immortal Ruins Civilization, why did he stay for over another year?

For the civilization, and even more so, for his family!

This journey is indeed too distant, with no reliable means of communication… If anything happened to the Seven Star Civilization, Li Yuan would be too far to intervene.

Li Yuan didn’t want to return someday and face regrets he could not undo.

“Alright.”

“Cheer up,” Li Changzhou said, his voice cold but steady. “Today we’re seeing off your big brother, your uncle. He’s heading to explore a vaster world—it’s a good thing… Why grieve here?”

In the Li family, Li Changzhou held immense authority.

“Little Yuan, your journey to the Divine Realm is the right decision.” Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan.

“Uncle.” Li Yuan responded with a deep voice.

“I have long seen through it all over these years… Our family is where it is today because of you.” Li Changzhou said solemnly. “The rise of the Seven Star Civilization has been propelled by the relentless effort of extraordinary individuals like you, generation after generation.”

“Be it individuals, families, or civilizations—the pursuit of greater strength is indispensable. Without it, destruction is inevitable sooner or later,” Li Changzhou stated.

“And you are unique.”

“Your talent is unimaginably high. Your pursuit of Martial Path limits and ultimate cultivation has been your goal for years,” Li Changzhou said. “Go forth without worry, pursue what you must. Do not concern yourself with home… Even if a hundred or a thousand years later, we uncle and nephew may never meet again in this lifetime, do not feel sorrow.”

“We will live well.”

Li Yuan looked toward his uncle.

“Your aunt and I, we raised you and your brothers not to expect you to take care of us in our old age,” Li Changzhou said with a smile. “It brings us joy to see your accomplishments.”
