Chapter 379
After refining the ten peak Demigod puppets.
About three hundred kilometers away from the center of the Xia Nation's capital city, above the mountain range, Li Yuan met with Demigod Baishan again.
"Senior Baishan."
Li Yuan said: "According to the Alliance Leader's orders, this time you and Demigod Tantai Lie will remain to guard Blue Star, while the other Demigods will set off for Flying Star."
"Yes." Demigod Baishan nodded and sighed: "With the flight speed of the warship they are taking, it will take over a month to get there."
Whether it was a Tier-Four spaceship or a Demigod, the flight speed within a planet was not as fast as in the cosmic starry sky... but traveling in the cosmic starry sky was not just a simple straight-line flight.
The route would be more complex.
"Over a month's time, if the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization launches an attack immediately, I'm afraid the great war will already be over," Li Yuan sighed.
"That may be so, but they must be sent. Perhaps the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization still does not know that Dongfang has fallen," Demigod Baishan said: "In short, without Dongfang, we must concentrate the vast majority of Demigods on Flying Star to be able to defend."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. Concentrating the Demigods was something that had to be done.
"Senior Baishan." Li Yuan said: "Although Blue Star only has one 'Tier-Three Star Realm', the Wanhan Star Realm, we must still be prepared. I have some Flying Heaven-level puppets here that I am willing to hand over to you."
"Some Flying Heaven-level puppets?" Demigod Baishan nodded, though he didn't pay much attention to it in his heart.
After all, there were quite a few Flying Heaven-level puppets within the Seven Star Civilization, but their strength was mostly average, and they could only serve as a supplement for defending Tier-Two Star Realms.
Li Yuan waved his hand directly.
Clatter~
Instantly, with Li Yuan as the center, hundreds of silver-armored figures appeared in the surrounding void, each holding weapons and emitting an impressive aura. Their appearances were extremely similar...
"This? 800 of them?" Demigod Baishan's pupils shrank slightly. He knew the specific quantity after one sweep of his spiritual sense.
Such a large quantity was beyond his imagination.
"These Flying Heaven puppets are all at the peak Flying Heaven level," Li Yuan added.
"What? Peak Flying Heaven? All of them?" Demigod Baishan was completely shocked.
Within the Seven Star Civilization, even in the Seven Star Treasury, there were no puppets of this strength level for Demigods to exchange for.
And Li Yuan? He brought out eight hundred in one go?
This was too astonishing.
"Remember the aura of this Demigod. For the next ten years, aside from me, you will obey his orders," Li Yuan pointed at Demigod Baishan and said.
"Yes, Master." The eight hundred puppets said respectfully in unison, then looked at Demigod Baishan: "Greetings, Demigod."
The simultaneous worship of eight hundred peak Flying Heaven puppets still left Demigod Baishan quite shaken.
Although there were six thousand Flying Heaven martial artists on Blue Star, fewer than three hundred could reach the peak Flying Heaven level.
"Li Yuan, is this the power you obtained in the base?" Demigod Baishan couldn't help but ask.
"No." Li Yuan shook his head: "What Alliance Leader Dongfang left behind is another force. This is what I personally possess."
Demigod Baishan was secretly shocked.
"However, the force Alliance Leader Dongfang left behind is stronger," Li Yuan said with emotion.
Alliance Leader Dongfang had indeed made nearly foolproof preparations for the entire civilization.
"Senior Baishan, how to deploy these puppets is all up to you," Li Yuan said.
"Hmm, with the addition of this group of peak Flying Heaven puppets, the entrances to the major Tier-Two Star Realms will be as solid as a golden fortress," Demigod Baishan laughed: "As long as no new Tier-Three Star Realm appears, we will definitely be able to hold them."
"I am going to Flying Star immediately. I also entrust you to help take care of my family, Senior," Li Yuan said.
"Rest assured, I will definitely take good care of them." Demigod Baishan had learned about Li Yuan's experiences and knew that Li Yuan valued his relatives and family extremely highly.
Demigod Baishan didn't mind that Li Yuan had selfish motives.
Everyone had selfish motives; as a super powerhouse, as long as it didn't exceed the limit, it was fine.
After parting with Demigod Baishan, Li Yuan flew straight towards the Lantis Continent.
The entrance to the third star realm was located on the Lantis Continent in the Pacific Ocean.
Not long after.
Whoosh! A cyan streak of light streaked across the sky, quickly approaching Li Yuan, who was in flight.
"Big Brother." Liu Bing approached at high speed.
"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded. When he learned of his next mission duties from the Blue Star base, he had sent a soul message to Liu Bing, telling Liu Bing to come quickly to catch up with him.
"Little Bing, is everything arranged?" Li Yuan sent a message.
"Hmm, Uncle and Aunt are all arranged. Big Brother, rest assured," Liu Bing said.
"Little Bing, time is tight. Next, I need you to take me and shuttle through the major planets as quickly as possible," Li Yuan said solemnly.
Even if he used the Star Cloud Extreme Void Shuttle, his flight speed was far inferior to Liu Bing's.
"Okay."
Boom!
Liu Bing carried Li Yuan, still maintaining a terrifying speed, and quickly streaked across the sky.
"Little Bing, is your speed even faster?" Li Yuan was quite surprised.
"Hmm, Big Brother, my law comprehension is about to break through, and my escape technique has advanced further," Liu Bing said quite proudly: "I estimate that within this year, I will be able to reach the Seventh-Stage High-Tier level."
Li Yuan marveled secretly.
As expected of a Saint Blood Heavenly Snake, the cultivation speed was too astonishing. The more he came into contact with it, the more Li Yuan could feel the power and terror of this bloodline.
When law comprehension reached the Seventh-Stage Mid-Tier, it was the peak Demigod level.
If he could reach the Seventh-Stage High-Tier, then he would be only one step away from becoming a Void God. Currently, within the Seven Star Civilization, I'm afraid there wasn't a single Demigod whose law comprehension had reached this level.
"Little Bing, I remember you once said that as your strength gradually grows, under the influence of your bloodline, you will naturally come into contact with space laws, is that right?" Li Yuan asked via message.
"Yes!"
Liu Bing responded while flying at high speed: "According to my inherited memories, generally when law comprehension reaches the Void God level, or when the soul transforms into the Void God level, there is hope to sense the existence of spatial fluctuations."
"But it is only sensing, just like how every Flying Heaven-level can sense the fluctuations of heaven and earth mysteries, yet many Flying Heaven-realms cannot condense true intent."
"Void God powerhouses who can truly step into the threshold of space laws are also extremely rare."
"Space is the foundation of the existence of all things and all spirits. Therefore, the Great Dao of Space Origin is also superior to the other seven Great Heaven and Earth Origin Great Daos," Liu Bing sent a message.
Li Yuan had received many inheritances and naturally understood this point.
Entering the space law was extremely difficult, but as long as one sensed even a trace... the power was also extremely terrifying.
"However, once I become a Demigod, even if my law comprehension is slightly weaker and I haven't reached the Void God level (Seventh-Stage Perfection), I will be able to sense the mysteries of spatial fluctuations," Liu Bing said.
"That is a good thing," Li Yuan laughed.
"Big Brother, why did you suddenly ask about space laws?" Liu Bing asked curiously: "Could it be, Big Brother, that you sensed spatial fluctuations?"
"We'll talk about it later," Li Yuan laughed.
Sensing the mysteries of spatial fluctuations?
Back then, when he first charged into the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm and condensed the prototype of Wind True Intent, he had already sensed it slightly... it was just too difficult to comprehend.
Even after so many years had passed, Li Yuan's strength far exceeded what it was back then, and his law comprehension had improved by who knows how many times, yet he still only sensed it vaguely.
"To this day, the Divine Palace panel has not given any prompts, clearly not even reaching the point of comprehending a trace of mystery," Li Yuan sighed secretly: "Next, first complete the preparations for the great war."
"Then continue to cultivate, striving to completely transform law comprehension into strength. Only by comprehending the third form of the 'World Cloud Spear' can my spear technique undergo another transformation," Li Yuan's eyes had a glow.
Although Demigod-level puppets were important, the puppets' strength had reached its limit, while he himself had infinite potential.
It was just that, even though he had already stepped into the threshold of Wind Laws.
But using pure Earth Laws or Wind Laws, the power was very weak.
The laws must be combined.
And the difficulty of combining laws far exceeded that of combining true intents... Since stepping into the threshold of Wind Laws, during this period of time, although the power of Li Yuan's spear technique had been continuously improving, the mysteries of the two major laws had not yet been perfectly combined.
When Li Yuan and Liu Bing were rushing to Flying Star at high speed, and numerous Demigods were also setting off from various planets to rush to Flying Star.
The entire Seven Star Civilization, from top to bottom, began a comprehensive mobilization.
This unusual change was quickly sensed by the secret agents and hidden lines lurking in the Seven Star Civilization from many alien civilizations, and they began to transmit it back to their respective civilizations.
However, the vast majority of alien civilizations did not know the specific situation of the Seven Star Civilization.
Except for the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization.
Ten Thousand Demon Star, as the lair of the Eastern Demon God, aside from him being here, a large number of Demigods of the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization also lived here.
After all, the closer one was to a god, the higher the possibility of receiving guidance and treasure gifts during cultivation.
Demigods also had a very high status within the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, and most would build separate divine halls to live in.
Demigod Night Darkness, as the recognized 'Number One Demigod' of the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, had extremely strong strength, and the residence he built was naturally extremely luxurious and vast. Inside one of the mysterious halls.
This was Demigod Night Darkness's place of seclusion and cultivation; usually, only he could come here.
"Ah~~" Demigod Night Darkness was twisting on the bed, his face full of pain, and blood droplets were even faintly seeping out from the skin on the surface of his body.
It was too painful!
This was the pain of a soul being torn apart.
"Ah~" With Demigod Night Darkness's powerful willpower, he couldn't help but let out bursts of low roars.
Sss sss sss~ His soul aura was constantly weakening, as if he were suffering from layer after layer of soul attacks...
A long time later.
Demigod Night Darkness's soul aura finally stabilized, and the expression on his face also relaxed.
"I... free... report to..." Messages flashed through his mind one after another.
Another long while passed.
"Whoosh." Demigod Night Darkness finally opened his eyes and sat up straight, murmuring to himself: "I have regained my freedom? No, I have regained my freedom now! I am Demigod Night Darkness, once soul-mind controlled by the Seven Star Civilization's Dongfang Ji. Now I am free."
"So I must be able to judge that Dongfang Ji is dead."
"Dongfang Ji is dead. The greatest obstacle blocking my Ten Thousand Demon Civilization from invading the Seven Star Civilization has disappeared," Demigod Night Darkness murmured to himself, as if reinforcing the many messages.
Not long after.
Demigod Night Darkness, who had taken multiple soul treasures in succession, had his soul aura slightly recover to the peak Flying Heaven level, and he turned into a streak of light, quickly rushing towards the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
At the same time, he was also sending a message to the Eastern Demon God.
He had important matters to report.
As the civilization's number one Demigod, and emphasizing that there were urgent matters, it was still very easy for Demigod Night Darkness to seek an audience with the Eastern Demon God.
Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
"Night Darkness, your soul aura, what is going on?" The Eastern Demon God looked at Demigod Night Darkness in confusion: "Were you attacked?"
On Ten Thousand Demon Star, how could Demigod Night Darkness suffer such heavy soul damage?
"Reporting to the God."
"Night Darkness is guilty, I hope the God will punish me." Demigod Night Darkness knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "My subordinate was previously soul-mind controlled by the Seven Star Civilization's Dongfang Ji and once did many things harmful to the civilization. It is already a capital crime."
As soon as he spoke, it stunned the Eastern Demon God.
Soul-mind control?
But what kind of existence was the Eastern Demon God? His reaction was extremely fast.
Boom!
With a thought from the Eastern Demon God, a terrifying pressure instantly shrouded the entire hall and also completely shrouded Demigod Night Darkness.
It also suppressed Demigod Night Darkness so that he couldn't move.
The further one went in cultivation, those who could break through to high realms were mostly peerless geniuses from the early days, so cross-level combat was becoming increasingly difficult.
Like Demigod Night Darkness, who possessed peak Demigod strength, but facing a Void God powerhouse, he basically had no power to resist.
The Eastern Demon God's voice also became cold: "Night Darkness, do not resist. I want to thoroughly probe the details of your soul."
"Yes." Demigod Night Darkness knelt on the ground, completely letting go of his control over his own soul, allowing the other party to probe.
Normally, a Demigod would absolutely not be willing to do this.
Just a slight mistake by the God could cause his own soul to completely collapse.
"Hmm?"
"What a brilliant soul-mind control method." The Eastern Demon God probed continuously, finally finding a few traces of soul-mind imprint dissipation in the depths of Demigod Night Darkness's soul.
Clatter~
The Eastern Demon God's probe quickly withdrew, with only that terrifying pressure remaining, suppressing Demigod Night Darkness.
"Night Darkness, you were actually really soul-mind controlled before!" The Eastern Demon God's voice was cold, faintly containing anger.
He was indeed angry, and even more so, felt a trace of lingering fear.
You must know, he had previously trusted Demigod Night Darkness quite a bit, handing many things over to him to do, and he knew many secrets within the civilization... had he actually been secretly soul-mind controlled by Dongfang Ji?
For such a long time, how many secrets must have been leaked?
"God, please calm your anger." Demigod Night Darkness gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with longing: "I have failed your great trust. I am guilty of a capital crime, but before I die, I wish to make one final contribution to the civilization."
"Speak." The Eastern Demon God stared at Demigod Night Darkness.
"God."
"It was during the Flying Star Great War over a hundred years ago that I was... by Dongfang Ji."
"Just a short while ago, my soul-mind imprint suddenly began to collapse," Demigod Night Darkness said in a low voice: "I can basically confirm that Dongfang Ji's soul aura suddenly dissipated, and he lost control over me... I suspect he has fallen."
"Dongfang Ji has fallen?" The Eastern Demon God's eyes flickered. Through the probe just now, he could basically confirm that Demigod Night Darkness had lifted the soul-mind control, which had already given him quite a few guesses.
Now, he had even heard it from Demigod Night Darkness's own mouth.
It was just too unbelievable.
He had fought with Dongfang Ji for so many years, and even when he received the news that Dongfang Ji was roaming in the starry sky gaps, he had personally gone to try to kill him, only to fail in the end.
He knew Dongfang Ji's power well.
How could such a peerless monster suddenly fall?
"Night Darkness! Are you trying to deceive me? To lure my Ten Thousand Demon Civilization into attacking the Seven Star Civilization?" The Eastern Demon God's eyes were cold: "You were soul-mind controlled, and now that you have regained your freedom, why not carefully hide the fact that you were soul-mind controlled? You said it out... aren't you afraid that I will kill you in a fit of anger?"
From his heart, the Eastern Demon God didn't quite believe it.
"God."
"I absolutely would not dare to deceive you. I am indeed no longer under soul-mind control. I believe the God can find out," Demigod Night Darkness said urgently, his eyes filled with the light of hatred: "I came to report mainly because of hatred! I was enslaved for over a hundred years. I hate Dongfang Ji."
"If Dongfang Ji hadn't enslaved me, perhaps my law comprehension would have already reached the Seventh-Stage Perfection level."
"But Dongfang Ji is dead, and I want to exterminate the Seven Star Civilization even more!! Kill them all," Demigod Night Darkness roared: "I want to take revenge fiercely. I can't do it, only you, God, can do it."
Demigod Night Darkness's body was trembling, appearing incomparably excited.
"No!"
"Even if you want revenge, there is no need to put yourself in a dangerous situation," the Eastern Demon God remained very calm: "You could have completely guided me secretly and slowly told me the truth."
"God, if I told you slowly in secret, it would be too late," Demigod Night Darkness said urgently: "Dongfang Ji has fallen, and the Seven Star Civilization definitely hasn't made war preparations... If we send troops to attack now, we will definitely catch them off guard."
"If we delay, waiting for a few months or even longer, until their large number of Demigods gather on the Ten Thousand Demon Star Realm, it will be difficult to conquer them."
"Most importantly, it is Li Yuan and Fang Da," Demigod Night Darkness said: "Their strength growth is extremely rapid. If we wait a few more years to attack, I'm afraid they will have grown into a second or third Dongfang Ji."
"By then, I will truly have no hope of revenge," Demigod Night Darkness suddenly kowtowed continuously: "I hope the God will observe clearly."
"I, Night Darkness, do not fear death, I only seek revenge!!"
"For the sake of the entire civilization, I ask the God to make a decision early." Demigod Night Darkness spoke with genuine sincerity.
The Eastern Demon God stared at Demigod Night Darkness.
He had been observing the other party, sensing the other party's soul fluctuations... it seemed to be truly from the heart.
What he said was very likely true.
"Dongfang Ji has fallen, it cannot be completely confirmed," the Eastern Demon God thought in his heart, finally reaching a conclusion: "But what Night Darkness said should come from his true heart."
After thinking it through clearly.
"Night Darkness!" The Eastern Demon God's voice was cold: "According to the laws left by the Ten Thousand Demon True God, those controlled by alien soul-mind, their hearts not their own, once they regain their freedom, as long as they report the news and state the past... they are innocent."
"Now, I will continue to keep you imprisoned."
"If it is finally proven that what you said is true, then I will release you. You will not only be without fault but will have merit," the Eastern Demon God said: "By then, when my Ten Thousand Demon Civilization conquers the Seven Star Civilization... you will be able to head to the Seven Star Civilization and roam the Jiushan World."
"Thank you, God," Demigod Night Darkness said excitedly: "I only seek to exterminate the Seven Star Civilization."
"Kill them all!!"
After receiving the report from Demigod Night Darkness.
The Eastern Demon God no longer had the slightest hesitation and immediately ordered an investigation into intelligence within the Seven Star Civilization, searching for clues.
"At all costs!"
"Contact those Demigods in the Seven Star Civilization who previously provided us with intelligence, go contact them," the Eastern Demon God suppressed the excitement in his heart and ordered directly: "I need to know the latest situation of the Seven Star Civilization."
Even if it was already 80% confirmed.
But the Eastern Demon God still didn't dare to be careless.
Not long after, the Eastern Demon God received a large amount of intelligence information and began to continuously analyze useful information.
"Alliance Leader change, Fang Da became Alliance Leader? Li Yuan became Deputy Alliance Leader?"
"Dongfang Ji has not appeared?"
"The Seven Star Civilization on the major planets, just started giving orders, seems to be secretly carrying out a migration plan?" The Eastern Demon God read these intelligence reports, thinking continuously.
He stood in the void, his eyes flickering: "Synthesizing this intelligence... could it be, Dongfang Ji is really dead?"
Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
Hum~ Hum~ A large amount of light gathered, forming two figures emitting mysterious auras.
"Eastern Demon, you just sent us a message, Dongfang Ji is really dead?" God Qiong Jin asked urgently: "Where did you get the news?"
"It was my subordinate, Demigod Night Darkness..." The Eastern Demon God quickly explained everything he knew.
Although he didn't like God Qiong Jin, it concerned the rise and fall of the entire civilization, so he didn't dare to be careless.
God Bei Yue and God Qiong Jin finished listening.
"Could it be a trap set by Dongfang Ji?" God Qiong Jin frowned: "If he really fell, the Seven Star Civilization's high echelon wouldn't need to act so urgently; they should hide this news instead."
"Now, although they didn't say Dongfang Ji fell, even their civilization's Demigods couldn't confirm this news... but their large-scale migration action is enough to show that a big problem has occurred internally," God Qiong Jin said.
"It is normal for them to take action," God Bei Yue said: "The Seven Star Civilization definitely knows about Dongfang Ji controlling Night Darkness... According to normal reasoning, they would worry that we would know the situation from Night Darkness and then attack Flying Star."
"Without Dongfang Ji, how can the remaining Demigods resist? Naturally, they would consider a major migration plan," God Bei Yue said.
God Qiong Jin frowned.
What God Bei Yue said was reasonable, but he always felt something was wrong.
"Secondly."
"If Dongfang Ji wasn't dead, he wouldn't have the need to layout a trap," God Bei Yue shook his head: "With Dongfang Ji there, wait another few decades or a hundred years, until Li Yuan and Fang Da completely rise, by then the three of them as gods, we wouldn't be able to shake them at all... This is also the reason we wanted to negotiate peace not long ago."
Clearly, God Bei Yue believed Dongfang Ji had fallen.
"Eastern Demon, you are the civilization leader, what are your thoughts?" God Qiong Jin said.
"Analyzing from the existing signs, Dongfang Ji has fallen," the Eastern Demon God said softly: "And the probability of Dongfang Ji setting a trap, both exist."
"It just depends on whether we dare to gamble."
The two gods began to think.
Gamble?
"The previous peace negotiation proposal was rejected by the Seven Star Civilization," the Eastern Demon God said slowly: "If we don't gamble, then regardless of whether Dongfang Ji is dead or alive, the Seven Star Civilization will continue to grow stronger. Once Li Yuan and Fang Da become gods, we will have completely lost hope."
"Even, in the future, we will have to face the Seven Star Civilization's revenge, which will be an even more cruel war," the Eastern Demon God said.
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of God Qiong Jin and God Bei Yue.
They both knew the hatred between their own side and the Seven Star Civilization, which was very difficult to resolve.
"If we gamble!"
"Once Dongfang Ji is not dead, then we will suffer heavy casualties, but those who die will only be Demigods," the Eastern Demon God said in a low voice: "No matter how many die, it won't affect the three of us."
"But if Dongfang Ji is dead."
"Taking advantage of the fact that the Seven Star Civilization's Demigods haven't gathered, Flying Star's defense is unprecedentedly weak, plus Fang Da and Li Yuan haven't completely grown up, this is our best opportunity," the Eastern Demon God's eyes were cold: "According to the intelligence we know, the passage leading to the Ancient Burial Immortal Domain is on Flying Star."
"Even if we can't exterminate the Seven Star Civilization, conquering Flying Star shouldn't be difficult..."
"By then, we will be able to send a large number of Flying Heaven martial artists and Demigods into the Jiushan and Nine Worlds to seize the treasures and potentially powerful inheritances of the Ancient Burial Immortal Domain."
"Once there is a gain, perhaps it will allow us to go a step further," the Eastern Demon God said in a low voice: "What do you think?"
"Let's start the war," God Bei Yue said directly: "We must be fast, we cannot give the Seven Star Civilization more reaction time."
"Start the war."
"We don't seek to exterminate the Seven Star Civilization, we only seek to send a batch of Demigods into the Jiushan World," God Qiong Jin also said. He was also persuaded; he was closest to his lifespan limit, and in his heart, he was actually also very eager.
"Okay."
"Qiong Jin, then please have your personal disciple 'Sha Kun' return," the Eastern Demon God revealed a strange smile: "I know he has already broken through and can become a god at any time. With him leading the Demigod army, one battle should settle it."
