High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 741: Chapter 394: Two Years Later

“If our prior estimates were correct, the Myriad Demons Civilization would not have been defeated so miserably as it is now,” the phantom shrouded in flames spoke slowly, “There’s no need to pay attention to the Seven Star Civilization.”

Yan Lin Pseudo-God appeared thoughtful.

“If the Myriad Demons Civilization had merely retreated without losing the Origin Power Battle Array, it would not be a problem. After all, one can’t discern the origins of the Origin Power Battle Array just by its appearance,” Chi Yan True God said. “There are not a few forces that could bring forth such a battle array. Any civilization that has produced True Gods could be a suspect; our Immortal Ruins Civilization would just be the most likely.”

“Ultimately, it is not our Immortal Ruins Civilization’s most famous ‘Void Qianyuan Formation’,” Chi Yan True God continued.

“But now, the Origin Power Battle Array is lost.”

“Dongfang Ji will undoubtedly conduct a thorough examination of the core of the battle array. Given his strength and realm, he will surely uncover many clues. This Eight Directions Fire Realm Array was forged by me at great cost and effort… Over these ten thousand years, I have also forged numerous divine artifacts and treasures for the civilization, many of which have been lost or leaked… The methods of forging them share common traits,” Chi Yan True God said. “Given time, Dongfang Ji will likely trace it back.”

...

Yan Lin Pseudo-God suddenly understood.

If the battle array hadn’t been lost, the problem wouldn’t have been significant.

But the key issue was that the Origin Power War God had fallen into Dongfang Ji’s hands, and they could no longer ignore it.

“This battle.”

“The strength that Dongfang Ji displayed is terribly formidable, and his chances of becoming a True God in the future are almost a surety, with even a sliver of possibility to surpass the position of a True God,” Chi Yan True God sighed.

Surpassing a True God?

Yan Lin Pseudo-God felt his heart tighten and couldn’t help saying, “True Gods, the legendary Heavenly Divines… It seems our Mortal Domain has never witnessed their birth, has it?”

“To be precise, none have emerged in the recent millions of years,” Chi Yan True God said. “As for ancient history further back… it’s beyond the scope of history known by our civilization. Who knows?”

“In history, the Mortal Domain may or may not have produced Heavenly Divines, but that’s irrelevant to us now.”

Yan Lin Pseudo-God nodded in agreement.

Even the Heavenly Divines had a lifespan of only three hundred thousand years; what exactly transpired during the ancient times millions of years ago remains a mystery.

“Dongfang Ji.”

“And Fang Hai, Li Yuan, all have great hopes of becoming True Gods. If it’s as I predict, the future Seven Star Civilization will have three True Gods,” Chi Yan True God said. “In the long era ahead, the Mortal Domain will revere the Seven Star Civilization, surpassing us, the Crimson Sun Civilization, and the Myriad Dawn Civilization.”

“Even if the Seven Star Civilization cannot shake us, we have no need to establish such a formidable enemy.”

“After all, if our civilization wishes to produce more Pseudo-Gods and True Gods, it requires the Demigods to venture and grind in the starry sky,” Chi Yan True God said. “If we constantly face the Seven Star Civilization’s sniping, it will also be very troublesome.”

“The True Gods plot far into the future,” Yan Lin Pseudo-God said sincerely.

The birth of a powerhouse requires an environment.

Like the Immortal Ruins Civilization, which is sufficiently vast internally, it can provide plenty of grinding environments for a powerhouse to grow from a First Rank Life to a Flying Heaven Warrior, and even to a Demigod.

But to become a Pseudo-God?

Staying within the confines of one’s own civilization is far from enough.

One must travel along the Plane Passage, leave the Dimensional Plane, and head into the deeper parts of the starry sky to the dangerous and treasured locations—fight with other civilizations’ powerhouses, grind oneself in life-and-death situations… to harbor the hope of Ascending to God.

In the Mortal Domain, where precious Heavenly Divines are rarely born over the long ages, one significant reason, besides the scarcity of precious resources, is the environment is just too small.

Shallow waters cannot raise a dragon, and for the most part, the extreme danger zones of the Mortal Domain have little significance for True Gods and do not provide the necessary grinding.

“Go and make the arrangements,” Chi Yan Divine said.

“Remember, there’s no need to disclose my existence. Act in your name.”

“Yes,” Yan Lin Pseudo-God said respectfully.

…

Blue Star, River City of Xia Country.

In the void.

“Big brother, is this where you lived when you were younger?” Liu Bing, who was wrapped around Li Yuan’s arm, stretched her neck to look down at the bustling city below.

“Yes.”

“We’ve only passed by before, that’s why you’re not familiar with it,” Li Yuan said. “This time, I’ve specially come back to visit my teacher.”

Liu Bing, who had followed him out of the Ming Xu Star Realm, had mostly stayed in Feixing after returning to Blue Star, or at Kunlun Martial University.

With no family in Jiang City, Li Yuan naturally seldom returned.

“Your teacher?” Liu Bing was curious; she knew that Li Yuan had several teachers.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan, carrying Liu Bing and concealing their presence, with the light around them distorting, quickly arrived at the southern end of Guan Mountain District, to a special cemetery—Heroes’ Mausoleum.

He approached a gravestone, the very one Xu Bo had intended to visit.

“Your teacher passed away?” Liu Bing was surprised and fell silent.

That’s because Li Yuan had already taken out several bottles of wine and a bunch of flowers and placed them in front of the gravestone.

“Teacher, I’ve been staying in Feixing these past years and haven’t come to see you much. But don’t worry, everything at home is fine. Xu Ling, I have taken good care of him too. He has become a Foundation Establishing Warrior. In the future, I will definitely help him strive to become a Flying Heaven Warrior…” Li Yuan murmured, opening a bottle of wine and pouring it onto the stone steps.

The mausoleum was clean.

Under the glow of the setting sun, the mausoleum looked even more solemn.

After a long while,

Li Yuan finally left with Liu Bing, flying over the city as evening approached, the beautiful night lights of the city unfolded below them.

Jiang City, as a Core City, had an advanced monitoring system, yet it could not detect Li Yuan’s presence. He deliberately slowed down to gaze at several familiar streets below.

“Looking at it, it seems this great battle did not affect Jiang City,” Liu Bing said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly. The fierce battle between the two great civilizations had involved countless Flying Heaven Realm beings invading numerous planets. Blue Star was minimally affected.

It was mainly because Blue Star had only one Third Level Star Realm, and he had left behind eight hundred Soaring Sky Peak Puppets, most of the Flying Heaven Alien Race being slaughtered as soon as they burst out of the Wanhan Star Realm.
