Chapter 620: Chapter 346: The Great Retreat! The Scheme of East Demon_2

The competition between civilizations within the Dimensional Domain is just like this.

The strong are able to occupy more Star Realms, take more resources, which in turn gives birth to even more powerhouses and geniuses… and so the cycle continues.

The presence of the Spirit Gun has given the Seven Star Civilization the upper hand in this phase of the Second Level Star Realm competition.

“Our civilization also has contact with the Second Level Star Realms that the Seven Star Civilization has connections with, and we haven’t been attacked yet,” many Foreign Civilizations that haven’t encountered attacks are also filled with worry.

“We should retreat first. Order the many Flying Heaven Warriors to scatter and hide, don’t stay in the bases.”

“Mm.”

“Spread out, hide deep within the lands of the Star Realm, even if the Spirit Gun possesses a Semi-Divine Level Soul, it’s impossible to find everyone. Once the Spirit Gun reaches the Flying Heaven Level and can no longer enter the Second Level Star Realm, that’s when we’ll start the counterattack.”

“Retreat!” Many high-ranking officials from the Foreign Civilizations made the same decision—First Rank, Second Rank all retreat, and Flying Heaven elites scatter completely out of sight.

There was no choice.

Accompanied by successive messages, the power of the Spirit Gun was confirmed, and the bloody slaughter he embarked upon made any civilized leadership wary… Within just a few days, the Flying Heaven Warriors who had died by his hand numbered in the hundreds.

In fact, according to the list provided by Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan wouldn’t attack and slaughter most of the Second Level Star Realms… but these Foreign Civilizations didn’t dare to bet on it.

Who knew if the Spirit Gun would come killing?

“Empty?”

“Not a single Flying Heaven Life found?” Li Yuan arrived at a new target Star Realm.

As Divine Sense enveloped the area, he immediately found that, apart from a few First Rank and Second Rank Lives that hadn’t had the time to retreat… there wasn’t a single Flying Heaven elite.

Normally, a War Base of this scale should have at least ten Flying Heaven Warriors as its guardians. How could there be none?

There was only one possibility!

These Flying Heaven elites must have already received the message and scattered.

“They must have escaped to various places within the Star Realm, they are difficult to pursue now.” Li Yuan frowned inwardly.

A problematic situation had arisen.

It must be understood that Li Yuan’s initial reason for using secret Soul Attacks to eliminate the enemy was to delay the spread of the message as much as possible…

Now it seems that, after the battle at the Mystic Demons Star Realm, the message had spread completely and could no longer be concealed.

Therefore, no one would hold their ground.

Nor would any Flying Heaven elite, without certainty, stay and defend the War Fortress.

“With so many Star Realms, each Star Realm being so vast, it’s not possible for me to search each one thoroughly,” Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

He could devote some time to sweep the Second Level Star Realms.@@novelbin@@

It wasn’t possible to spend years or decades doing this.

“Then let’s destroy the Main Base. The construction of each Main Base has also cost these Foreign Civilizations a great deal,” Li Yuan began his move.

He followed the outer perimeter of the enemy’s Main Base, attacking each key node… If any First Rank or Second Rank powerhouse attempted to activate technological or Origin Power weapons, they were obstructed, annihilated by a shred of the Soul.

“That damn Spirit Gun.”

“He’s actually attacking our War Base.”

“Bastard!” Hiding within the Star Realms, many Alien Race Flying Heaven elites, one after another, seethed with rage, their hearts bleeding.

If the Main Base were destroyed, even if the Spirit Gun never returned, it would be hard for them to win against the large forces of the Seven Star Civilization.

However.

In the face of the destructive attacks by the Spirit Gun, not a single Flying Heaven elite dared to step out.

…

Faced with the sudden eruption of the Spirit Gun, although most Foreign Civilizations that were attacked felt anger, in comparison to their own civilization’s size, the loss wasn’t considered large… and it’s unlikely that there will be greater losses in the future.

After all, most Foreign Civilizations only bordered one or two Star Realms with the Seven Star Civilization.

If they were lost, they were lost.

But those truly in discomfort and unease, were the Myriad Demons Civilization!!

Myriad Demons Civilization and Seven Star Civilization bordered far too many Star Realms, not only countless Second Level Star Realms but also not a few Third Level Star Realms, and even Fourth Level Star Realms… One could fully anticipate that in the future, the Spirit Gun might become even more formidable than Fang Hai.

When Fang Hai was at the Flying Heaven Level, he was capable of slaying Demigods.

And the Spirit Gun? Not to mention the future, even now, the number of strong individuals from Myriad Demons Civilization who have perished at the hands of the Spirit Gun is already startling.

Hence, in an extremely short span of time, the highest echelons of Myriad Demons Civilization struggled to assemble in one place.

Myriad Demons Star, the Main Star of Myriad Demons Civilization.

As the core of the entire Dimensional Plane, it was the planet with the most numerous population and strongest beings within Myriad Demons Civilization.

Myriad Demons Hall, then, was the highest temple of Myriad Demons Civilization, hiding its most profound secrets.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three formidable presences arrived, one draped in a black robe exuding an aura of endless destruction, another appeared rather scholarly like a refined gentleman.

The last figure was the most mysterious, with an extremely vague presence.

Three Phantom figures stood facing each other at a distance.

They were all just projections of Divine Sense, not their true bodies.

“Bei Yue, Qiong Jin,” the phantom in the black robe slowly said, “you are both already aware of the situation. Our hope of overthrowing the Seven Star Civilization is becoming increasingly faint, and even in the not-too-distant future, we could potentially be extinguished by them.”

“I believe neither of you wishes to see Myriad Demons Civilization come to such a pass.”

The other two shadows silently listened.

As Divine beings, they would not be easily intimidated by a few words from the other party.

The fall of a civilization?

As Divinities, even if Myriad Demons Civilization were indeed to be destroyed, they could traverse the starry skies and live freely alone.

After living for over a thousand years, many relatives and even offspring were mostly long gone.

To them, the billions of living beings within the civilization, even if they all perished, would hardly make an impact anymore.

“This time, with the outbreak of the Spirit Gun, many Second Level Star Realms have been ravaged. I have ordered numerous Star Realms to begin their retreat…” the black-robed phantom continued, “These losses, however, are secondary…”

“East Demon, stop beating around the bush,” the most mysterious figure said in a deep voice, “Spit it out, what do you want us to do?”

“You are the current leader of our civilization, and the war with the Seven Star Civilization was also spearheaded by you. Success or failure, it is all the same to me,” the mysterious figure looked at the Eastern Demon Deity.

“Qiong Jin, you are also a leader of our civilization,” said the Eastern Demon Deity in a deep voice, staring at the other, “You have also grown with the blessings of our civilization.”

“That’s exactly why I’m standing here listening to you,” the mysterious figure shook its head, “If you don’t get to the point, I shall take my leave.”

“East Demon.”

“Let’s get straight to the matter,” the other figure, with a sacred aura, Bei Yue Deity, also said slowly.

“I need your help,” the Eastern Demon Deity said solemnly, “to try to clarify the true identity of the Spirit Gun and attempt to assassinate him.”

“The true identity of the Spirit Gun?” Bei Yue Deity wondered.

“According to the intelligence from the Seven Star Civilization, the Spirit Gun should be over fifty years old, already past the prime time for a breakthrough for a Prime Warrior… Such an exceptional monster, even if pursuing the Seven Star Veins, Eight Star Veins, would not exceed 50 years old, it would be a losing proposition,” the Eastern Demon Deity spoke.

Qiong Jin Deity and Bei Yue Deity both nodded involuntarily.

Like Qiong Jin Deity, most Demigods within Myriad Demons Civilization were unaware of his existence and were indifferent to the outcome of the war… but they paid close attention to the Spirit Gun.

After all, such a genius was unprecedented in the entire history of the Dimensional Domain.

Wouldn’t they be curious?

“Moreover, compared to the Spirit Gun’s progress these past few years,” the Eastern Demon Deity continued, “his advancement in the previous fifty years was a bit too slow, which is illogical.”

“What do you mean?” Bei Yue Deity pondered.

“I suspect that his true identity does not match what the Seven Star Civilization has announced to the public,” the Eastern Demon Deity said. “Secondly, I wish to ask a Demigod to try to ambush him, to thoroughly eliminate the hidden danger.”

“Ask a Demigod?” A trace of light flashed in the eyes of both Qiong Jin and Bei Yue Demigods.

Within an opposing civilization, if one could request a Demigod to carry out an assassination, that would be the highest-level action to take.

“Are you able to request a Demigod from within the Seven Star Civilization?” Qiong Jin Semi-Divine Level inquired softly, “Are you confident?”

“It’s not from the Seven Star Civilization.”

“It’s Ruins Flame,” the Eastern Demon Deity looked at Qiong Jin Semi-Divine Level, “You must be the one to make the approach.”
