High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 735: Chapter 391: The Reason

If Dongfang Ji were not present?

The demigods in attendance all quieted down, not daring to speak further.

It had been proven that if Dongfang Ji were not present, they would only be able to carry out the Great Migration Plan, even if Fang Hai made his breakthrough, it could not stop the assault of the Myriad Demons Civilization’s vast army.

Of course, people like Li Yuan and the Snow Dragon Demigod still harbored many doubts.

Logically, with the strength Dongfang Ji had demonstrated, what could the Sha Kun Demigod’s Law Comprehension at the Pseudo-God Level amount to?

As long as Dongfang Ji were there, logically, the Seven Star Civilization should be as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if Sha Kun Demigod eventually became a Pseudo-God, but the Myriad Demons Civilization already had three Pseudo-Gods, even adding one more would hardly affect the overall situation, so why bother setting up this game?

Many demigods were puzzled.

However, looking at the final battle results, on their side only three demigods fell, whereas more than seven hundred demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization perished in battle, including one formidable demigod who was hopeful of becoming a Pseudo-God… This rate of casualties was enough to prove the correctness of Dongfang Ji’s decisions.

In war, there are no battles without death.

Now, the remaining demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization were probably just over three hundred and generally of weaker strength… no longer possessing the conditions to wage war against the Seven Star Civilization.

Although the Myriad Demons Civilization possesses tens of planets and a vast life force that will continuously give birth to powerhouses… to recover to a state of over a thousand demigods at their peak, it would also take at least hundreds of years.

“Good.”

“The great battle is over, but the extensive invasion of the Flying Heaven by the Myriad Demons Civilization has also caused damage to various major planets… all demigods should return first, to carry out all necessary pacification work.” Dongfang Ji stated.

“Yes.” Many demigods responded reverently. Most of them held various positions.

“Fang Hai, again, order the demigods who rushed from the major planets to return to their original planets.” Dongfang Ji stated.

“Yes, I will give out the orders immediately.” Fang Hai nodded repeatedly.

“Then, for the dead demigods of Flame City, Qinghe, and Wind Fox, record their merits, engrave their names inside the ‘Seven Stars Hall,’ and organize memorial events within the civilization… for their families, clans, and even close disciples, provide compensations.” Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai, “Anyone who dares to plot against their treasures after their death, kill them without mercy.”

“Understood.” Fang Hai responded solemnly.

Within the Seven Star Civilization, anyone who had made significant contributions or sacrifices during the rise of the civilization would have their names preserved in the Seven Stars Hall, worshiped by the entire civilization without end.

And Dongfang Ji’s last words, without a doubt, were meant for the demigods present.

“Fang Hai, Li Yuan, Liu Bing, Elder Lant, stay behind… the rest of you may leave.” Dongfang Ji stated.

…

The many demigods dispersed, and the Origin Power Array that enveloped heaven and earth also slowly retracted.

Outside the Star Realm Passage, only a few figures remained.

“Teacher, what exactly happened when you previously perished? When did you return from the Nine Mountains World?” Fang Hai couldn’t help but ask.

Li Yuan and the Lant Semi-Divine also curiously looked towards Dongfang Ji.

“I knew you would ask.” Dongfang Ji stated, “Actually, I had already returned to Feixing a year ago.”

“But at that time, even Xiaoyun did not know I had come back.” Dongfang Ji stated.

“Master.” A phantom appeared by Dongfang Ji’s side, precisely in the form of Elder Yun.

Elder Yun was extremely respectful.

A year ago?

The expressions of everyone present changed, especially Li Yuan’s.

Because the crisis at Lantie Star was just half a year ago.

“Alliance Hierarch, this means, you returned to Feixing from the Nine Mountains World just after half a year?” Li Yuan whispered.

“Yes.” Dongfang Ji nodded, “Li Yuan, I know what you’re thinking. During the crisis at Lantie Star, I was indeed within the civilization… to be precise, I arrived at Lantie Star just a few days later.”

“But you did not intervene.” Li Yuan couldn’t help saying.

The danger at Lantie Star ultimately resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Flying Heaven Warriors and billions of civilians!

If Dongfang Ji had intervened, the losses would have been greatly reduced.

“Why should I intervene in just a Flying Heaven invasion?” Dongfang Ji shook his head, “When you were dueling those three Initial Rank demigods, I was secretly observing… If you truly couldn’t match them, I would have intervened and killed those three demigods.”

“But in the end, you performed well and won that battle.”

“I did not intervene, nor did I reveal my presence; I merely observed everything.” Dongfang Ji spoke softly.

Li Yuan’s heart trembled.

He understood Dongfang Ji’s meaning; if the Alien Race Semi-Divine on Lantie Star were to massacre on a large scale, Dongfang Ji would intervene to stop it… but if it were only Flying Heaven Level or weaker Alien Races not causing catastrophic damage, he would not bother.

Even if many people died in these disasters, Dongfang Ji would not intervene.

“Grinding!”

“A powerful person must grind himself through life and death repeatedly, comprehending his temperament, to grow.” Dongfang Ji stated, “A civilization is the same, the Seven Star Civilization isn’t just mine, or just us few individuals’… but it comprises hundreds of billions of people.”

“If I were to eliminate all dangers.”

“Countless ordinary people would only become complacent, like those many First Level and Second Level Star Realms, why don’t I allow you to completely eradicate them?” Dongfang Ji spoke calmly, “Creating a sense of crisis within the entire civilization is the only way to provide countless ordinary people with the motivation to strive.”

“If everyone feels safe, the willingness to work on cultivation would greatly decrease.” Dongfang Ji stated, “The crisis at Lantie Star… in my view, it is just a minor grinding in the process of the civilization’s empowerment.”

Li Yuan and Fang Hai both fell silent.

The two of them were the next-generation leaders designated by Dongfang Ji for the civilization, and their hearts were significantly stirred.

“Teacher, about this arrangement?” Fang Hai couldn’t help but ask.

“Because, the time of my departure is drawing near.” Dongfang Ji sighed.
