Chapter 574: Seven-Star After Many Years (Happy New Year

"There are so many space cities?"

"And guarding divine palaces?" Li Yuan passed through the starry sky and saw from afar a large number of space cities orbiting the planet, with aircraft coming and going.

There were also some larger floating divine palaces, and the divine palaces belonged to divine artifacts... A large number of guarding divine palaces essentially belonged to "array bases."

Guarding the void in all directions, so as to thoroughly protect Blue Star.

In the Divine Domain, planets that were slightly important would be like this.

With Li Yuan's strength, a single thought was enough to perceive the situation, and he understood that these divine artifacts guarding the star were all ones he had previously handed over to Dongfang Ji.

"It seems that in these few years, Alliance Leader Dongfang has again made the Seven-Star Civilization have great changes." Li Yuan revealed a smile. With Alliance Leader Dongfang and the others there, he could be very at ease about his hometown.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan floated in, having already arrived above the Xia Nation. With his strength, Blue Star's protective array could not detect him.

Suddenly.

Whoosh! Space vibrated slightly, and a young girl in green had appeared in front of Li Yuan.

"Big Brother." It was "Liu Bing," who had already mastered Void Teleportation; she had been staying on Blue Star.

"Little Bing." Li Yuan revealed a smile; he hadn't notified anyone when he returned.

Little Bing could only know through their soul connection.

Of course, as his strength became stronger and stronger, if Li Yuan were to trigger the mystery of the "Ancient Universe Realm's Long River of Time," he could make Liu Bing unable to sense his own soul aura.

"You have been staying on Blue Star?" Li Yuan smiled.

"Yes." Liu Bing nodded excitedly: "Big Brother, you know, I am used to staying on Blue Star. In my eyes, Blue Star is no different from my hometown."

Li Yuan sighed secretly. When he was the commander of Blue Star, Liu Bing, who was born not long before, often used transformation techniques to play in Blue Star, especially in the towns of the Xia Nation.

Therefore, among the many planets of the Seven-Star Civilization, she had the deepest feelings for Blue Star.

"Okay." Li Yuan smiled: "I haven't been back for so many years, so you introduce it to me."

"Haha, good. Big Brother, you haven't been back for nearly a hundred years, right? Blue Star and the Seven-Star Civilization have both changed a lot." Liu Bing smiled: "Blue Star's population is much smaller than in the past, but it has become much more beautiful."

"It is much more beautiful." Li Yuan sighed sincerely.

When he descended via Void Teleportation just now, Li Yuan had already discovered this point... The Seven-Star Civilization of that year had been under the threat of alien civilizations, with wars year after year.

To manufacture various war weapons and construction, the entire planet was frantically excavated, just to utilize more resources.

At the same time, to better guard against alien races, the population at that time was concentrated in large cities.

But now it had clearly changed.

Many large cities had dispersed their populations, and a large number of "war fortresses" from the past had been dismantled, leaving only a small amount as "history museums" to let the younger generation understand that era.

And with population migration, technological progress, and pollution control.

The natural environment was much better.

"Big Brother, come, I will explain it to you properly." Liu Bing smiled, and the two flew leisurely in the void.

Whether it was arrays or some technological instruments, they could not detect the existence of the two.

The two chatted slowly.

"Blue Star has become the second largest planet of the Seven-Star Civilization? Second only to Flying Star?" Li Yuan nodded slightly: "But the resident population is still only about ten billion?"

"Hmm, hmm!"

"Big Brother, ten billion people is already a lot." Liu Bing smiled: "You don't know, ever since you annihilated the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization and made the dimensional plane evolve, there are hundreds more life planets... The entire civilization is encouraging population migration to the XJ Domain."

"The current Seven-Star Civilization has a total population of over 800 billion, but they are dispersed across major planets, as well as the Second Territory and the Immortal Ruins Civilization territory... On average, each planet only has two or three billion people." Liu Bing said: "This is still the result of frantically encouraging childbirth."

"Technology is developed, material is extremely abundant, and there is no survival pressure."

"Even with various robots and various rewards and subsidies."

"The younger generation of the Seven-Star Civilization, many people simply don't want to give birth." Liu Bing sighed: "In a hundred years, the Seven-Star Civilization's population has only doubled twice."

"Doubled twice, that's already not bad." Li Yuan smiled: "You should also understand that the more super powerhouses there are, the weaker the desire for childbirth will be."

"That's true." Liu Bing nodded. Giving birth to descendants is essentially passing on bloodlines, which is a kind of fear of death.

But super powerhouses have vigorous vitality and long lifespans, and they believe that they will have great achievements... naturally, they won't pay too much attention to propagating descendants.

Only some powerhouses nearing their limit will have the desire to propagate bloodline descendants again.

"Big Brother, let's go to Kunlun City." Liu Bing pointed to the huge city below and smiled.

"Kunlun?" Li Yuan looked down at the huge city below, where there were many aircraft coming and going, but there were no skyscrapers.

"This is... Kunlun University?" Li Yuan said softly.

Returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan did not deliberately use his divine sense to investigate; doing so would lose a lot of fun.

But just one glance made Li Yuan understand that the location of this city was precisely the location of his former alma mater, "Kunlun Martial University."

"I remember, wasn't this area destroyed back then?" Li Yuan asked doubtfully.

During the ten-plus years Li Yuan roamed the "Juexing Continent," Blue Star had encountered an attack from the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

One of the war outbreak sites was precisely at Kunlun Martial University, where Demigod Sang Qiu died in battle.

"It was destroyed, but after rebuilding, which was more than ten years after we went to the Divine Domain, it was moved back, and on this basis, 'Kunlun City' was directly established." Liu Bing smiled: "Now on Blue Star, it is the number one large city, the Xia Nation Capital."

"Jiang City and Kunlun City are both among the top ten large metropolises on the planet." Liu Bing said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly. He didn't need to ask more to understand that it must have had something to do with him.

Otherwise, with the geographical location of these two cities, it would be impossible for them to develop so quickly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two continued to move forward, finally arriving at the quiet area in the center of the city, looking down from above.

"I didn't expect."

"Even Kunlun Martial University has been completely restored, exactly the same as when I was there." Li Yuan was a little surprised.

The rows of villas, buildings, and lakes below... were exactly the same as when he was studying at Kunlun Martial University.

It was just that in the outer area, the scale was much larger.

It was very clear that the rebuilt Kunlun Martial University had undergone large-scale expansion.

"You have heart." Li Yuan said softly. When he returned from Juexing Continent and learned that Kunlun Martial University had been destroyed, he still had some regrets in his heart.

He hadn't expected.

After another nearly a hundred years, everything had actually returned... Although he only cultivated at Kunlun Martial University for one year, Li Yuan had very deep feelings for his alma mater.

Here, there had been a group of good friends and classmates, and also quite a few teachers worthy of respect.

"Big Brother."

"The current Kunlun Martial University is not only the number one martial arts academy on Blue Star, but also the number one martial arts university of the Seven-Star Civilization." Liu Bing smiled: "Martial arts geniuses from major planets all take being admitted to Kunlun Martial University as the highest honor."

"In many aspects, the cultivation intensity can rival Martial God Mountain." Liu Bing said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly: "Let's go down and take a look."

The two landed lightly on the ground, not attracting the attention of the demigods within Kunlun Martial University at all.

"This is the villa I lived in back then, number '61032'. Gu Qiang lived in the neighboring villa. I didn't expect that it could actually be restored one-to-one, and it even became a place for visiting?"

"Xuanwu Building."

"Zhu Que Building, oh? This fire-type bird skeleton is still here? I guess it's a replica."

"Black Dragon Building, this was the building of the Sixth Academy back then. I often had classes here back then." Li Yuan and Liu Bing walked while recalling the past.

In Li Yuan's heart, he also became increasingly ethereal and comfortable.

Liu Bing on the side listened quietly; she knew that now she didn't need to interject, just be a good listener.

"Oh?"

"The Black Dragon Building today seems to have someone giving a lecture." Li Yuan smiled: "Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

Inside the Black Dragon Building, the main hall on the first floor was incomparably lively, with a large number of young martial artists gathering here, listening carefully.

Hum~

Li Yuan and Liu Bing quietly appeared in the corner of the main hall, and no students noticed them.

"Oh? Him?" Li Yuan's eyes brightened slightly, revealing a smile: "He's doing well, he's even become a martial arts university teacher."

Liu Bing smiled without a word.

On the podium, a middle-aged man about 1.8 meters tall with a slightly thin figure smiled and said: "What we are going to talk about today is still the school history of our Kunlun Martial University."

"I believe all students know that our Kunlun Martial University being able to leap to become the number one martial arts university of the civilization is inseparable from two alumni in history."

"One is the first Alliance Leader of the Seven-Star Alliance we mentioned in the last lesson, the first True God in the history of the Seven-Star Civilization, and now the second strongest person in the civilization, 'True God Dong Ji'." The middle-aged man said: "He is a person who carried on the past and opened up the future in the history of the civilization."

"Turning the tide, winning the Second Flying Star War, and the entire Seven-Star Civilization, laid the most solid foundation for the later take-off of the Seven-Star Civilization... Now he has opened up the 'Seven-Star Divine Kingdom' in the Divine Domain."

"However."

"Today we are going to talk about another alumnus, and he is also the most outstanding alumnus in the history of our Kunlun Martial University." The middle-aged man said solemnly: "He is the greatest genius in the history of the civilization, who reversed and killed divine beings in the demigod realm, single-handedly annihilated the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, promoted the evolution of the civilization, and led the Seven-Star Civilization to rise to become the strongest civilization in the entire mortal domain."

"Even in the distant Divine Domain, he is a peerless genius standing at the very top... This is the Martial God 'Li Yuan'."

"He is also the undisputed supreme leader of our Seven-Star Civilization." The middle-aged man said in one breath.

A group of young martial artists listened with blood boiling.

"Of course."

"There is no need for me to repeat the deeds of the Martial God. Whether on the virtual network or in the books you have read since childhood, there are many records." The middle-aged man smiled: "What I want to talk about today is the high school and university era of the Martial God."

"At an age similar to yours, how he cultivated, set his own goals, cultivated hard, and finally stepped by step cultivated to become a god."

"Therefore, this lesson of ours is called 'Soul of Martial Arts'..." The middle-aged man continued.

Many students listened carefully.

But Li Yuan, standing at the back of the main hall, had a helpless smile on his face: "Too much, Martial God?"

"This is a title set by the highest level of the Seven-Star Civilization decades ago." Liu Bing smiled: "After all, you were still in the demigod realm before... so it was decided to respectfully call you Martial God, representing the leader of the civilization and the strongest person."

Time passed.

This lesson lasted for nearly an hour, and Li Yuan and Liu Bing were also listening on the side.

"Big Brother, were you really like this in high school?" Liu Bing exclaimed: "You cultivated so seriously, no wonder you could be so powerful."

"This guy." Li Yuan shook his head and laughed.

"Class dismissed!"

Many students dispersed one after another, the classroom became empty, and the middle-aged man who gave the lecture was also preparing to leave.

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man's body trembled, his face changed slightly as he looked at the corner of the classroom, his eyes filled with horror... He was also a peak Flying Heaven martial artist, and his perception ability was also extremely strong, but just now he hadn't noticed the existence of these two people at all.

The most important point.

Those two figures in the distance, judging from their attire, dress, and temperament, were absolutely not students of Kunlun Martial University, making him completely unable to see through them.

"Are they two demigods? Demigods I have never seen before?" A trace of horror flashed through the middle-aged man's heart.

The demigod realm, even in the current Seven-Star Civilization, still belongs to super experts.

He was preparing to give a warning, but suddenly another trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Is he?"

From the black-clothed man, he sensed a trace of familiar aura... and the more he looked, the more it looked like him.

"Qianghan! Long time no see." Li Yuan smiled slightly.

The middle-aged man was precisely his old friend "Gu Qianghan."

"Li Yuan? Is it really you?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

Villa number 61031.

Gu Qianghan led Li Yuan and Liu Bing here.

They sat down in the courtyard.

"More than a hundred years have passed in a flash, Qianghan, you are actually still living here?" Li Yuan smiled.

"After I became a Flying Heaven martial artist, didn't I return to the Sixth Academy to serve as a teacher? So I moved back." Gu Qianghan smiled: "After all, the current principal is Teacher Li Yang, who takes good care of me."

When they first recognized each other, he was still a bit restrained, but later, seeing Li Yuan open up, he also became calm.

Gu Qianghan's personality was boisterous and had always been like this.

"Teacher Li Yang?" Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Before communicating with Liu Bing, he had already understood the recent situation of some seniors and friends from back then.

So many years had passed, and the various cultivation resources and treasures of the Seven-Star Civilization had skyrocketed, and the number of powerhouses born had also skyrocketed.

Some old friends and seniors, before Li Yuan went to the Divine Domain, had been taken care of either openly or secretly.

After so many years, many people had astonishing changes.

Like Hai Yi, "Principal Hai," who is now a demigod and one of the managers of Blue Star.

Like Li Yang, who has also become a demigod and became the principal of Kunlun Martial University.

A group of old friends like Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Tantai Feng, etc., are now also in the demigod realm.

In short.

The changes are huge.

"The lecture was quite good." Li Yuan smiled: "Can't see the look of back then at all."

"People have to progress." Gu Qianghan grinned and smiled: "We are both high school classmates and university classmates... there is no one more suitable than me to give a lecture about you."

Li Yuan laughed helplessly.

Everyone has the right to choose their life. Gu Qianghan chose this, so Li Yuan naturally wouldn't interfere.

"Li Yuan, do you remember? Back then my parents were very dissatisfied with me." Gu Qianghan smiled.

"I remember." Li Yuan nodded.

"They all thought I couldn't become a Flying Heaven martial artist. I didn't expect that you promoted the evolution of the civilization, and a large batch of various cultivation resources appeared, so I actually became one in the end." Gu Qianghan smiled: "Instead, I am much stronger than my parents were back then... this is called the progress of the era."

Li Yuan was even happier, and communicating with Gu Qianghan, both sides actually had no pressure.

The two chatted about many interesting things from back then.

"Qianghan."

"I also just returned from the Divine Domain and happened to meet again." Li Yuan said: "Meeting is fate, before leaving, let me give you a gift."

Li Yuan flipped his palm and handed over a storage magic treasure.

"Okay, the gift sent by you, the leader of the civilization, must be a heavy treasure." Gu Qianghan reached out to take it and grinned: "If you dare to send it, I won't refuse."

Saying goodbye to Gu Qianghan, Li Yuan and Liu Bing flew out of Kunlun Martial University.

"Big Brother, what gift did you just send?" Liu Bing asked curiously.

"Enough for Gu Qiang to become a demigod." Li Yuan smiled.

Liu Bing nodded. With Li Yuan's current strength and status, even if it were to cultivate a pig, it would be possible to cultivate it into a demigod.

Let alone Gu Qianghan who was already at the peak of Flying Heaven.

"Are you going to see Li Yang?" Liu Bing asked, knowing Li Yuan's relationship with Li Yang.

"Since I'm here, let's visit the teacher." Li Yuan smiled slightly.

Just like that, quietly.

Li Yuan visited several seniors living on Blue Star one after another, such as Li Yang, Wan Qinghe, Fei Qian, etc.

As for some old friends of the same generation, like Yu Jinghe, Li Tianyou, etc., who also lived on Blue Star, Li Yuan did not take the initiative to see them.

"Seniors should be visited." Li Yuan said softly: "Seeing one is one less. Even if I try my best to help them, it's not bad to be able to reach the demigod realm."

Helping to the demigod realm is not difficult for Li Yuan.

But higher, wanting to reach the Void God realm? The requirement for talent is actually very high, and even with many rare treasures, it is difficult to cross.

"As for those old friends of the same generation."

"Many are already middle and high-level members of Blue Star and even the entire civilization. I have already helped those who should be helped, and the rest depends on themselves." Li Yuan was very calm.

For some old friends of the same generation, Li Yuan will help, but he won't help without limit.

In fact, like Li Yuan leading the rise of the entire civilization, the large amount of resources and cultivation secret techniques returned to the civilization are also helping seniors, relatives, and friends in disguise.

Finally, Li Yuan returned to Jiang City.

He arrived before the grave of his teacher, Xu Bo.

Liu Bing accompanied him all the way; she knew Xu Bo's status in Li Yuan's heart.

The martyrs' cemetery was well repaired.

Li Yuan looked at his teacher's brand-new tombstone, feeling a bit dazed, as if he remembered the scene of that man like an iron tower speaking passionately in the martial arts room in high school.

"Teacher, the student has come to see you again." Li Yuan took out a pot of wine, sprinkled it gently on the grave, and said softly: "This wine was brought by the student when roaming another Universe Realm."

"Teacher, rest assured, I have always kept your teachings back then in my heart." Li Yuan kowtowed three times respectfully.

"Xu Ling is also doing very well."

"Let's go to Source Star." Li Yuan said: "It's time to see Uncle and Aunt."

"Hmm." Liu Bing nodded.

Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept past, and the two disappeared into the cemetery.

Source Star, this was a planet Li Yuan specially left for his family after the dimensional plane expanded greatly back then. In a sense, it could be considered the territory of the Li family.

The Li family has an incomparably special status within the Seven-Star Civilization.

Within the Seven-Star Civilization, the concept of a country had long since disappeared, and even the three major Martial Halls only had the "Starfire Martial Hall" left. Only the Seven-Star Civilization Committee managed all planet territories.

Except for the area where the Sky Snake tribe lived in the Second Territory, only Source Star was independent of the Seven-Star Civilization.

The entire planet still had a very sparse population, with only more than ten million people so far. Many Seven-Star people wanted to immigrate to Source Star... but the review was very strict, and basically, it only absorbed the bloodline of the original Xia Nation people.

Source Star, in the eyes of countless ordinary people of the entire Seven-Star Civilization, belongs to the very mysterious.

Source Star, main city.

The structure of the entire city largely imitated "Blue Star's Jiang City," after all, the Li family walked out of Jiang City.

The "Guan Mountain Courtyard" deep in the main city, only Li family members can enter here.

Inside one of the courtyards.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother." Li Muhua and Li Qianqian, who received the news and rushed over, were pleasantly surprised and excited as they rushed over.

If outsiders saw the two ancestor-level figures of the Li family like this, I'm afraid their jaws would drop.

"Muhua, Qianqian." Li Yuan smiled. Nearly a hundred years had passed, and his younger brother and sister's appearance had almost no changes.

Even, their temperament was even better.

"Not bad, you have both stepped into the Void God realm." Li Yuan smiled slightly. In his perception, Li Muhua and Li Qianqian were already in the Void God realm.

It was just that their life aura was only level 50; clearly, they had both broken through not long ago.

"We also broke through not long ago." Li Muhua said: "It's all thanks to the treasures brought back by True God Tian Bing."

"It was Big Brother who asked me to bring them back." Liu Bing smiled on the side.

The treasure they spoke of was precisely the five Innate Law Fruits given to Li Yuan by God King Dong Mang.

Anyone above the Flying Heaven realm can withstand its efficacy. Once taken and refined, one can comprehend a basic Law one is most close to to the eighth level in a very short time, possessing the foundation to become a Void God.

When Li Yuan left the Seven-Star Civilization back then, Li Muhua had already become a demigod, and Li Qianqian was also in the Flying Heaven realm.

So many years had passed.

Decades after Li Yuan left, Li Qianqian also stepped into the demigod realm with the help of a large amount of resources... This time, both of them took the Innate Law Fruits, so they naturally chose to quickly step into the Void God realm.

After all, their Star Veins had reached the extreme, and they were only Five-Star Veins... continuing to stay in the demigod realm didn't have much meaning.

"Where are Uncle and Aunt?" Li Yuan asked.

"Dad has already become a Void God." Li Muhua said somewhat helplessly: "But Mom's cultivation speed has always been very slow. Before taking the treasure, she was only in the Flying Heaven realm."

"I guess she is now stabilizing her realm in the demigod realm, and Dad is helping Mom."

"Hmm, then don't be anxious." Li Yuan said: "Cultivate slowly. Aunt's current Law comprehension is high enough. As long as she awakens Five-Star Veins in the demigod realm, finally becoming a Void God shouldn't be a problem."

"Speaking of which, it's still like a dream." Li Qianqian couldn't help but say: "Void God realm, this is the legendary 'God,' even within the civilization, there are not many Void Gods born."

Li Yuan smiled slightly.

He could not forget that back then, Uncle and Aunt took care of him since he was young, worked overtime for his martial arts cultivation, adventured into many dangerous places, and even were trapped in Lop Nur... Muhua and Qianqian were even watched by Li Yuan as they grew up, and their feelings were incomparably deep.
