Chapter 306: The Scheme of Chiyan! Li Yuan

"Hm? Uncle Chiyan, I didn't." The Qingsheng Beast King hurriedly explained, feeling the rage contained within the Chiyan Beast King's voice.

"You didn't?"

"But the behavior you desire is precisely what is sending our entire world to a dead end." The Chiyan Beast King's voice was low: "Could it be that only the life of your good brother, the 'Heijing Beast King', is a life, while the lives of other Beast Kings are not, and they should just go to their deaths according to your orders?"

"Thirteen of us Beast Kings came out together, and only eight survived this battle. You don't feel a shred of emotion in your heart." The Chiyan Beast King stared at the Qingsheng Beast King.

The Qingsheng Beast King was stunned. Emotion?

He truly felt no great emotion in his heart.

In his view, these ordinary Beast Kings dying was just dying; his father had plenty of them under his command.

Let alone five dying, even if fifty Flying Beast Kings died, the Qingsheng Beast King wouldn't care.

As long as he and the Beast Kings close to him survived, that was enough.

He only felt the strange gazes of the circle of Beast Kings around him.

"Uncle Chiyan, I was wrong." The Qingsheng Beast King hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake.

"Hmph!" The Chiyan Beast King snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "It's not just Qingsheng; you other Beast Kings are probably all wondering why I, the Lei Hui Beast King, and the Hei Guang Beast King didn't make a move before."

"You are also wondering why, despite having formed an alliance, the other two major Beast Emperor forces have remained motionless," the Chiyan Beast King said.

The many flying Beast Kings couldn't help but nod.

Throughout the indigenous forces of Mingxu, from top to bottom, many Beast Kings were confused by this point; they could clearly have easily swept away these alien civilization forces.

This was also the reason why many Flying Beast Kings, after destroying a large number of war bases of the two human civilizations, were unwilling to obey the Beast Emperors' orders and still wanted to go and intercept the fleeing human martial artists.

Because they wanted to vent the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"War is not child's play."

"Our enemies are not just this little bit of strength before us." The Chiyan Beast King said slowly: "Dozens of years ago, these two civilization forces had already dispatched small groups of forces to infiltrate... but they did not expand, and after the three Beast Emperors discussed it, they only observed in secret."

"More than a year ago, the passage from outside the domain appeared. According to what the Beast Emperors said, it was the expansion of the Star Realm passage, allowing Tier-2 lifeforms to enter and exit freely... Their Tier-2 powerhouses entered, and their strength within our world increased rapidly."

"But before we could make a move, these two forces started fighting among themselves instead." The Chiyan Beast King said solemnly: "We were naturally happy to watch them fight; we were just bystanders."

The many Beast Kings couldn't help but nod; war hadn't broken out until now.

"In the end."

"This human civilization force called 'Qixing' gained the upper hand." The Chiyan Beast King said in a low voice: "They began to build a large number of small bases... This is preparation to take root in our world and destroy our foundation."

A cold light appeared in the eyes of the many Flying Beast Kings.

Their clans were mostly scattered throughout the world, all governing vast territories... For new Beast Kings to be born within the clans, they all needed living space and territory.

The Qixing civilization's actions, expanding thousands of kilometers at a time, had already exceeded the bottom line of these Flying Beast Kings and even the Beast Emperors; this was the root cause of the war's outbreak.

After all, how big was the entire Mingxu world in total?

The Chiyan Beast King did not mention the changes in the 'Divine Land'... There was no need to tell these ordinary Beast Kings about these secrets.

"Our first wave of attacks went very smoothly; it was a great victory." The Chiyan Beast King said slowly: "And then? The Qixing civilization quickly sent more Flying martial artists and dispatched more powerful Tier-2 lifeforms and Flying martial artists to protect their Tier-1 and Tier-2 warriors as they fled."

"And there were their technological weapons; most of the Beast Kings who fell before were killed by technological weapons..."

The hearts of the many Beast Kings all tightened.

Especially the two Beast Kings who had participated in the attack on the Qixing civilization's main base had even more solemn expressions.

The main cannons of the Tier-4 warships had left a deep impression on them.

Even a Level-33 Flying Beast King had fallen after just taking one hit.

"Although there were casualties, the Qixing civilization had four main bases, and we successfully destroyed two of them."

"And then, that human martial artist appeared just now." The Chiyan Beast King said in a low voice: "He is merely a Tier-2 lifeform, and even I cannot do anything to him... If the Beast Emperors came, would they necessarily be able to kill him?"

Silence!

The Beast Emperors were high and mighty, and in the hearts of these Beast Kings, they were invincible existences. If someone had said in the past that a Beast Emperor couldn't kill a Tier-2 lifeform, they would only have taken it as a joke... but they had seen the confrontation not long ago with their own eyes.

Plus, the one saying this was the 'Chiyan Beast King', the strongest under the three Beast Emperors.

"Do you dare to say that that human martial artist is the strongest Tier-2 lifeform of the Qixing civilization?" The Chiyan Beast King said in a low voice: "The Qixing civilization is unfathomable."

"Not to mention anything else, if that human martial artist broke through to the Flying Realm in our world, he alone could sweep across the entire world, and the three Beast Emperors wouldn't be his match." The Chiyan Beast King said solemnly: "Even if we tried our best to wipe out this human martial artist, can we guarantee that the Qixing civilization wouldn't mobilize even stronger forces to kill us?"

There was dead silence; no one could refute this.

The Qingsheng Beast King's expression was also extremely ugly... He had also thought of this point.

As the war escalated time and time again, the strength revealed by the Qixing civilization was indeed getting stronger and stronger.

"Of course."

"Such a peerless genius would not easily be willing to be trapped in our world."

"The strength of the Qixing civilization also has its limits." The Chiyan Beast King said: "But the premise for everything is that we don't push them into a corner."

"We didn't completely wipe them out before because we didn't want to forge a deadly feud." The Chiyan Beast King said: "Otherwise, if the Qixing civilization attacked regardless of the cost, we would most likely not be able to hold out."

"Senior Chiyan."

"Since you don't want to forge a deadly feud," another Great Turtle Beast King couldn't help but say: "Why launch this assassination? Doesn't this provoke them even more?"

"Because Heijing and Qing Yanyu are dead!" The Chiyan Beast King's eyes were cold: "Not wanting to start a war doesn't mean we have to keep retreating."

"I brought you here not just for simple revenge."

"If two powerful Beast Kings died and we showed no reaction at all... then these extra-territorial civilizations would think we are weak and easy to bully, and even if they retreated temporarily, they would strike back again."

"Only by making the Qixing civilization realize... that we Mingxu Beast Clans are strong and have the desire for a death battle, and that if they want to wipe us out, they will also have to pay an unimaginable price." The Chiyan Beast King said slowly: "Only then will they be willing to truly negotiate with us."

Peace through war?

The Flying Beast Kings present all thought of this term.

"Senior Chiyan, in ten days, are we really going to launch a full-scale attack?" A Beast King couldn't help but ask.

"Stupid!"

"Must what is said be counted?" The Chiyan Beast King sneered: "In ten days, if they withdraw from our world, that is naturally for the best."

"Monitor them in secret; if they don't withdraw, wait until eight days later to tell the Qixing civilization that my previous ultimatum no longer counts... The three Beast Emperors have the latest orders."

"In short, the two civilizations want to probe our bottom line, and we must also stall, stall until the three Beast Emperors come out of seclusion." The Chiyan Beast King said.

The many Beast Kings couldn't help but nod.

Deep in Ming Mountain, the residence of the Tianshe Beast Emperor.

Inside the palace in the center of the lake.

"So, you actually lost this battle?" The Hei Guang Beast King looked at the Chiyan Beast King in the projection before him.

"That human martial artist's strength is very terrifying." The Chiyan Beast King said in a low voice.

"Hm." The Hei Guang Beast King nodded: "There is already a Flying Beast King who, according to our orders, has contacted the 'Tianliang Civilization', and according to the intelligence they provided... this human martial artist wielding a spear should be the top genius of the Qixing civilization, 'Ling Qiang'."

"'Ling Qiang'?" The Chiyan Beast King murmured to himself.

He noted this name down.

"How many such Tier-2 lifeforms are there in the Qixing civilization?" The Chiyan Beast King asked.

"The Tianliang Civilization is unwilling to disclose." The Hei Guang Beast King shook his head and said: "They only say that the Qixing civilization is far stronger than them, and if we want to guard the Mingxu world, the only way is to unite with them... If we don't expel the Qixing civilization, our Mingxu world will sooner or later be wiped out by the Qixing civilization."

"Unite?"

The Chiyan Beast King sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, they definitely want us to dispatch Beast Kings to attack, and then they will only provide us with some treasures and weapons, and at most provide some Star Arts."

"Correct." The Hei Guang Beast King nodded.

"From the existing signs, the Qixing civilization is stronger and poses a greater threat." The Chiyan Beast King said: "But if we have a full-scale fire-fight with the Qixing civilization, the casualties will be too great, and the Tianliang Civilization will find an opportunity to turn around and wipe us out."

"Neither side of these two civilizations is worth trusting."

"What do the Beast Emperors say?" The Chiyan Beast King asked again.

"The three Beast Emperors have been tracking that human martial artist named 'Yu Jinghe' in the Divine Land." The Hei Guang Beast King said: "But the Divine Land is vast, and they haven't caught up yet... It will probably take a long time for the three Beast Emperors to come out."

"After all, compared to occupying some territory with the two human civilizations, the Divine Land is more important."

The Chiyan Beast King nodded slightly.

"Chiyan, what are your thoughts?" The Hei Guang Beast King looked at him.

"According to my meaning, it would naturally be best if both human forces withdrew according to the ultimatum." The Chiyan Beast King said: "But in all likelihood, they won't withdraw."

"Then, rather than fighting to the death and even forcing them to join forces against us, it is better to lure them into continuing to fight."

"I remember their main base is only two thousand kilometers away... Why not notify both sides at the same time and give them the entire ten-thousand-kilometer area of that region." The Chiyan Beast King said solemnly: "Our Mingxu Star Realm will cede that territory, as long as they multiply in large numbers, we will allow them to mine the resources in the territory."

"Cede territory?" The Hei Guang Beast King was stunned; this was something he hadn't expected.

Ten thousand kilometers of territory only accounts for less than half a percent of the Mingxu Star Realm; it's actually not that important.

"If they aren't stupid, they will definitely see the clues in this kind of plan." The Hei Guang Beast King couldn't help but say: "Won't they join forces to attack us?"

"So what if they see it? This is an open scheme." The Chiyan Beast King shook his head: "Do you think the Qixing civilization and the Tianliang Civilization can trust each other? They are mortal enemies."

"Normally speaking."

"The two civilizations would rather not occupy our world than let the other side take advantage."

The Chiyan Beast King said slowly: "The key is that although our Mingxu Beast Clans are weak... we have the advantage within our own world."

The Hei Guang Beast King couldn't help but nod.

The Mingxu Beast Clans are like a hedgehog holding a treasure, facing two fierce tigers...

The two fierce tigers both want to eat the hedgehog and seize the treasure, but they are also worried that if they make a move and get pricked by the hedgehog, the other fierce tiger will pick up the bargain.

And the hedgehog doesn't want to be besieged by the two fierce tigers, so it just wants to throw out part of the treasure and let the two fierce tigers fight each other first.

"If we really cede such a large territory, wouldn't that be inviting wolves into the house?" The Hei Guang Beast King was still somewhat worried: "They will build more large bases."

"That will depend on the three Beast Emperors." The Chiyan Beast King shook his head: "If any Beast Emperor can break through to become a Demigod... why care about these threats? No matter how strong the two civilizations are, they will be helpless."

"If our Mingxu Beast Clans never give birth to a Demigod..." The Chiyan Beast King was silent for a long time before saying: "Sooner or later, we will be completely devoured."

"Moreover."

"Currently, the world passage only allows Tier-2 lifeforms to enter and exit. If it upgrades again and allows Tier-3 lifeforms to enter and exit... if we haven't given birth to a Demigod by then, we will have no second path to survival other than submission."

"No matter how much we scheme, we cannot block the gap in strength."

Not long after, Li Yuan, Li Yang, and Laimeng had already returned to the Mingyue Base.

And outside the Tier-4 warship.

Luo Chan, Tavares, and the dozen or so people guarding the base had already received the news passed back and took the initiative to welcome them; their faces were all quite solemn.

"Ling Qiang, did Wuma Nong really die in battle?" Tavares's eyes were red.

This burly man could not suppress his emotions.

"Sigh." Li Yuan sighed lightly, flipped his palm to take out two shields, and said in a low voice: "Tavares... keep these weapons and give them to his wife and children."

Wuma Nong had already started a family; his wife was a Source Martial Artist, and the two had a son.

Tavares's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands trembled as he took the two shields.

The others couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Everyone was very sad about Wuma Nong's death... but these days, they had already seen too many similar scenes.

Truly speaking of grief, no one could compare to Tavares... Everyone knew that Wuma Nong had two life-and-death friends.

One was Yu Jinghe; the two of them had been competing, competing for more than ten years, but they had always been good friends.

The other was Tavares.

He and Wuma Nong had the closest relationship, and the two had experienced life-and-death battles countless times.

"Chiyan Beast King." Tavares suddenly let out bursts of low roars; he knew the murderer was the Chiyan Beast King.

"Ling Qiang."

Luo Chan suddenly said in a low voice: "According to the news you reported, the Demigods just finished their meeting, and several Demigods want to see you."

"Good." Li Yuan nodded and followed Luo Chan to fly toward the Tier-4 warship in the distance.

The others had no objections.

They all already knew the result of the battle between Ling Qiang and the Chiyan Beast King... The strength Ling Qiang revealed made them shocked and excited.

And they felt even more awe toward this mysterious 'Number One Source Martial Artist of the Civilization'!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan and Luo Chan flew into a small conference room in the deepest part of the warship.

Boom~ The conference room door closed.

Inside the conference room, there were already three huge light screen projections, revealing three figures.

They were all people Li Yuan knew.

Whoosh~

The battle suit that had originally wrapped Li Yuan's face retracted, revealing his face.

Following that, Li Yuan's soul also underwent a change, removing the cover of the Phantom Spirit Suit.

Luo Chan, who was to the side, even though she had already known, still felt amazed.

"Senior Baishan, Senior Sanye, Principal." Li Yuan bowed respectfully.

Everyone present knew his identity, so there was no need to hide it.

"Li Yuan, you have completed the Star Realm withdrawal operation excellently enough; don't blame yourself too much." Demigod Baishan said: "War always has casualties; on the road of our Qixing civilization's rise, those who sacrifice are the heroes of our civilization."

"Their names will be written in the history of our civilization."

"The rise of a civilization is always accompanied by countless blood." Demigod Sanye also said: "Whether it is you fighting in the Tier-2 Star Realm, or us guarding the Tier-3 Star Realm and protecting the Tier-4 Star Realm... our clansmen after endless years will remember our contributions."

"The dead are gone; the living must continue to move forward."

Li Yuan listened silently.

Whether it was resisting the invasion of foreign enemies or attacking other Star Realms... whether it was Li Yuan or these powerful Demigods before him, or the countless human martial artists who had sacrificed in history.

Their goal had been only one from beginning to end—to let the Qixing civilization survive!

To survive better!

Inside the conference room, the exchange continued.

"Li Yuan, the strength you possess is the strongest among Source Martial Artists in the history of our civilization." Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan with a trace of appreciation: "No one can keep up with you anymore."

"Even if Source Martial Artists with True Intent like Luo Chan and the others break through to the Flying level, they will be far inferior to you in the short term." Demigod Baishan said.

Luo Chan, who was to the side, listened and sighed in her heart; she had to admit this point.

The strength Li Yuan displayed in battle truly made them, these Source Martial Artists with True Intent, have to look up to him.

"Li Yuan, what are your thoughts on the 'Ten-Day Ultimatum' of the Chiyan Beast King?" Demigod Sanye asked.

Whether it was to fight or to withdraw completely.

As the strongest person on the front line, Li Yuan's opinion was very important.

"My strength is still not enough." Li Yuan shook his head: "I can't even kill the Chiyan Beast King... wanting to kill the three Beast Emperors, there is no hope at all."

The Chiyan Beast King was Level 34.

Then it could basically be confirmed that the three Beast Emperors should be Level 35, so their artistic conception was at least at the Mid-Tier of True Intent, and their strength was comprehensively superior to Level 34... Even if the Beast Emperors were weaker than the peak Flying powerhouses of the Qixing civilization in terms of weapons, Star Arts, etc., they were not something Li Yuan could shake right now.

Once encountered, it would be good enough to save his life.

Demigod Baishan, Fang Hai, and Demigod Sanye were all stunned.

That Li Yuan was not as good as the three Beast Emperors, wasn't that obvious? Why suddenly say this?

"I need one month."

Li Yuan spoke again, his eyes calm: "After one month, my strength will have a significant improvement, and I am confident that I can fight the Beast Emperors, and even kill them."

"What?"

"Fight the Beast Emperors?"

"One month?" Demigod Baishan, Fang Hai, and Demigod Sanye were all shocked.

Luo Chan, who was to the side, was even more dumbfounded.

Li Yuan's strength was already terrifying enough; could he become even stronger?

"Li Yuan, do you want to break through to the Flying level in the Mingxu Star Realm?" Demigod Sanye seemed to have thought of something.

Everyone else looked at Li Yuan.

If Li Yuan broke through to the Flying level, his foundation would transform, and his strength would soar by a large margin; killing the Beast Emperors would naturally not be difficult.

"Li Yuan, don't be impulsive." Fang Hai also said in a low voice: "No matter how important the Mingxu Star Realm is... it is not worth you guarding it forever; the loss outweighs the gain."

"Principal, don't worry; I won't be impulsive." Li Yuan said; he knew what these alliance high-level officials were worried about.

"Then how can you do it?" Demigod Baishan couldn't help but say: "Those three Beast Emperors are at least Level 35... The gap in foundation is too large."

It was no wonder these Demigods were losing their composure.

Normally speaking, a Level-29 genius Source Martial Artist being able to rival a Level-31 Flying martial artist was already good.

Extremely strong ones could rival Level-32 human martial artists, such as Yu Jinghe and Rudnev.

Level 29 rivaling Level 33? Before Li Yuan, there had only been one such case in the entire Qixing civilization!

Fang Hai!!

Li Yuan, counting his age, had just turned 20; being able to rival the Chiyan Beast King was already incredible.

Now, he actually said he could rival a Level-35 Beast Emperor in another month?

How could they easily believe this?

"I can't say the specific reason; I can only tell you seniors that I can." Li Yuan said in a low voice: "I won't joke with my own life."

Silence.

Luo Chan was already holding her breath.

After a long while.

"Good, Li Yuan, we believe you." Demigod Baishan said solemnly: "For the next month, we will fully contract, abandon the Mingxin Base... and only keep the Mingyue Base as a strategic support point, letting the Wan Mo civilization attract the firepower of the Mingxu Beast Clans."

"Wan Mo civilization?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"Correct."

"The secret line has already sent news that the Tianliang Civilization has asked the Wan Mo civilization for help. Counting the time, the genius Source Martial Artists of the Wan Mo civilization should be arriving soon." Fang Hai said: "Of course, the Wan Mo civilization doesn't care about the ownership of territory; their goal is only the treasure of Ming Mountain... I estimate they will kill their way directly to Ming Mountain."

"Wan Mo civilization genius?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, also feeling shocked by the Qixing civilization's intelligence network.

Such secret news could actually be detected in advance.

"Will the Wan Mo civilization attack us in advance?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"It's possible." Fang Hai smiled: "Therefore, combined with the one month you need, we decided to contract... Once they catch a glimpse of the group of Tier-4 warships in our base, they should give up on attacking."

"After all, the strength of the Wan Mo civilization also has its limits. As long as we temporarily show weakness and appear to give up on competing for the Ming Mountain treasure... they won't exhaust themselves against us."

"In addition, we are also planning to let two Source Martial Artists with True Intent break through."

Li Yuan's pupils shrank; what great determination.

Every Source Martial Artist with True Intent has hope of breaking through to become a Demigod in the future... It is very difficult to get such geniuses to stay in the Mingxu Star Realm voluntarily.

"The premise of these plans is that you, Li Yuan, can do what you promised." Demigod Sanye said: "Within one month, possess the strength to rival a Beast Emperor."

"Hm." Li Yuan nodded.

On the way back, his consciousness had already initially sensed it within the Heart Palace... He had more than 90% certainty.

"Li Yuan, do you need any help?" Demigod Baishan asked.

"I need some treasures." Li Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "I can use Qixing points to purchase them, but some treasures are very precious, and I don't have the authorization; I need you Demigods to help me."

Quickly.

Li Yuan took out a list of treasures, which were precisely the many treasure materials needed to cultivate the Nine-Layer Star Art "Divine Body of All Things", the Seven-Layer Star Art "Nine Shadow Clones", and the Five-Layer Star Art "Wind Feather".

It was something Li Yuan had prepared on the way back.

If he could gather them all, it would be enough for Li Yuan to cultivate these Star Arts to the Tier-2 limit.
