Chapter 377: Gu You's Gift! Blue Star's Base

Chapter 377: Gu You's Gift! Blue Star's Base

Inside the battle ship, in a quiet cultivation room.

"Xiao Bing, you already know the details," Li Yuan said, looking at the little Bing wrapped around his arm. "Do you have any good ideas?"

With Li Yuan's current soul strength, he only needed to divert a single thread of thought to enter the virtual network.

Therefore, while communicating with the Starfire Nexus and the Demigods, Li Yuan had already transmitted the relevant information to Xiao Bing and Gu You.

He wanted to see what ideas they had.

"There's no particularly good solution, big brother," Liu Bing replied. "If it was just one or two extremely powerful Demigods, even if they were at the Demigod pinnacle, we could use our secret treasures and ultimate moves to deal with them... But this is a war of civilizations, with hundreds of Demigods involved."

"And it's not just the Demon Realm Civilization that's making a move, the scale is massive."

"As for the Source Energy Array, according to what you said, the Source Energy Array left by Dongfang Ji is already extremely powerful. The one provided by Qiu Bingzun won't be any stronger. After all, in the entire Seven Stars Civilization, there are no False Deities, and too powerful treasures won't be able to demonstrate their full potential," Liu Bing explained.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly, knowing that no matter how powerful a treasure was, it required sufficient strength to utilize it effectively.

The life-saving secret treasure given to him by Gu You was also something he could only fully control after crossing the threshold of the Earth Law.

Secondly, this was ultimately a war that the Seven Stars Civilization would have to face, and Li Yuan understood that it had nothing to do with Liu Bing... Liu Bing had her own responsibilities.

"Xiao Bing, I still need to ask for your help this time," Li Yuan said, turning to Liu Bing.

"Big brother, rest assured. I will fight alongside you, just like I did on Lantie Star," Liu Bing assured him. "I also have a strong fondness for the entire Seven Stars Civilization, especially with all the delicious food available."

Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Over the past few months, he had been stationed at Kunlun Martial University, but ever since Liu Bing refined the token of trust and became a 'Guest Minister' of the Seven Stars Civilization, she would often wander around the cities near Kunlun Martial University.

With her strength, she could shrink her body to a length of two meters, twist the light to cast illusions, and disguise herself as a normal human, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect her.

This lifestyle was also quite novel for Liu Bing.

"But this time is different, Xiao Bing," Li Yuan said, looking at Liu Bing. "During the Lantie Star crisis, the threat to us wasn't too great... But if a war really breaks out as expected, it will likely be a massive battle. I want you to help, but if the situation becomes dangerous, you must escape and survive."

"Escape?" Liu Bing shook her head repeatedly. "Wherever you are, I will be there too."

"No," Li Yuan said patiently. "You are the 'Holy Blooded Sky Serpent' of the Sky Serpent Clan. You have the responsibility and obligation to stay alive and rebuild the Sky Serpent Clan in the future. That's the most important thing for you... If we truly reach the most critical moment, you must survive and then go to the Nine Leaf Star Realm and the Nine Mountain Star Realm on your own."

"I've already told you the locations of the Star Realms."

Liu Bing was stunned. Before her birth, she had vague memories spanning over ten thousand years, and deep within her, she had an intense desire to rebuild her clan. However, she was also extremely worried about Li Yuan.

"Alright."

"Xiao Bing, I need your help this time, but just do your best," Li Yuan said, looking at Liu Bing. "Don't do anything that risks your life. When I send you a mental message to leave, you must go. Promise me."

Liu Bing remained silent for a long time, sensing the determination in Li Yuan's soul. "Okay, big brother, I promise you."

"If we truly reach that point, I swear that I will definitely annihilate the enemies of the Seven Stars Civilization in the future!" Liu Bing declared.

Li Yuan smiled, relieved that Liu Bing wasn't being stubborn.

"Xiao Bing, wait for me at the Kunlun Star Realm. I'm going out for a while," Li Yuan instructed.

"Okay."

...

Li Yuan left the battle ship and waved his hand, causing a long shuttle treasure with starry cloud patterns to appear in his palm, emitting a rather mysterious aura.

It was the top-grade Ethereal Artifact, the 'Nebula Void Glider'.

Hum! With a thought, Li Yuan immediately displayed the 'Universal Divine Body', causing his body and Source Energy might to surge. Powerful Source Energy poured into the Nebula Void Glider, causing the divine artifact to rapidly expand.

"Enter." Li Yuan moved, and in an instant, he was inside the Nebula Void Glider, his massive body subtly merging with the artifact.

Divine artifacts are different from battle ships. Battle ships are assembled from multiple parts, and even if they are engraved with Source Energy arrays, they are not perfect, seamless entities. Battle ships have weaknesses, and as long as super-powerful beings continuously attack, they can break through the defenses.

However, the Nebula Void Glider can only accommodate a small number of people and cannot transform into something exceptionally large.

"The second level of 'Void Sky'!" Li Yuan's thoughts stirred, invoking the boundless and unfathomable Primordial Dao of Wind from the void, and he began to operate the second level of 'Void Sky'.

The entire surface of the Nebula Void Glider blossomed with a layer of hazy green light.

The secret technique 'Void Sky' contained within the Nebula Void Glider had a total of five levels.

The first level required Wind True Intention to reach the sixth stage of completion.

The second level required crossing the threshold of the Law of Wind.

The third level required the Law of Wind to reach the seventh stage, middle tier.

……

The fifth layer required one to reach the seventh rank of the Wind Law to fully unleash the power of this sacred artifact.

Over the past few months, Li Yuan had been diligently cultivating, and unknowingly, he had crossed the threshold of the Wind Law, and successfully comprehended the second layer of the 'Extreme Void' technique.

Sacred artifact secret techniques like this were relatively easier to comprehend, after all, with the guidance of the artifact's origin, as long as one's cultivation was sufficient, one could easily drive the artifact and perfectly execute the secret technique.

"Whoosh!"

The Nebula Void Glider instantly transformed into a dazzling green light that streaked across the sky, its speed far surpassing Li Yuan's own flight.

"At full speed, my flight can reach about 15 kilometers per second," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Although it's still far inferior to Little Bing, it's already faster than most Demigod Apex powerhouses."

Liu Bing possessed an incredibly high comprehension of the laws, and with the combination of the Ninefold Star Technique and an exceptional Ethereal Artifact, she was able to achieve such an exaggerated speed.

......

As Li Yuan rushed towards the capital at full speed, his divine sense avatar was communicating with Gu You inside the Ancient Divine Palace.

"I can't do it either," Gu You shook her head.

"Sister, is there no other way?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that there's no way, but I can't do it right now," Gu You looked at Li Yuan. "Brother, you should know that I'm not truly alive... Father entrusted the Ancient Divine Palace to me, granting me high authority, and I believe in you. So, I'm willing to offer you the greatest assistance within my power."

"If you venture into the Second Tier Star Realm, I'll accompany you."

"If you need a weapon, I can help you refine a sacred artifact."

"But some things are beyond my authority."

"I cannot go against Father's orders," Gu You said. "Unless you pass the fourth trial now, I can bring out more special treasures left by Father."

"Then, blocking an army of Demigods shouldn't be difficult," Gu You added.

"The fourth trial?" Li Yuan fell silent.

According to what Gu You had said in the past, the fourth trial usually required the inheritor to reach the Demigod realm and cultivate for a long time before they could pass... Even if he, with his Flying Heaven Realm cultivation, had insufficient time and law comprehension, breaking through to the Demigod realm now might not be enough to pass the trial.

"Sister, I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position," Li Yuan smiled bitterly.

Gu You possessed exceptional wisdom, but she herself was likely an auxiliary intelligence or a Cavern Spirit.

However, she had to obey the commands left by her master.

"Brother, the situation isn't as dangerous as you think," Gu You shook her head. "The war hasn't started yet, and the Demon Realm Civilization might not dare to initiate it."

"Even if they do attack, and even if you fail, you can retreat to the various Star Realms. In a short time, your civilization won't be destroyed," Gu You said. "You can hide in the universe, cultivate in the Ancient Divine Palace for a few decades. Not only a group of Demigods, but even Ethereal Deities won't be able to find you. With your talent, you'll likely possess the strength to rival Demigods."

"Even reaching a level comparable to Ethereal Deities is possible," she added.

"At that time, you can lead your people to counterattack, and it will be a simple matter to rebuild the Seven Stars Civilization," Gu You said.

"No!" Li Yuan shook his head.

"No civilization can last forever. Even the powerful Snake Clan faced extinction. The so-called strongest God Court also turned into ruins. Isn't it normal for civilizations to rise and fall?" Gu You asked, puzzled. "Your Seven Stars Civilization has a population of hundreds of billions, and you have talents like you and Fang Hai. You should consider yourselves fortunate."

Gu You couldn't understand Li Yuan's thoughts.

In her opinion, the crisis faced by the Seven Stars Civilization was insignificant.

As long as Li Yuan survived, she didn't care about the fate of the Seven Stars Civilization.

"Sister, if I don't have the ability, I can only watch, just like how the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain might destroy an entire dimension tomorrow," Li Yuan said.

"But this time, I have the strength, and I refuse to let that happen again," Li Yuan said firmly. "I will do my utmost to prevent the war from erupting within our civilization."

"I don't want the tragedy of Flying Star to repeat itself."

The education he had received since childhood.

The experiences he had gone through since becoming a warrior, from the Ming Xu Star Realm to the Fish Spirit Tide, and then to the Rob Sea Star Realm and Lantie Star, all the scenes he had witnessed were influencing him.

He was determined not to let the crisis of Lantie Star repeat itself on every planet.

The calamity of Flying Star was a nightmare.

If it came to that, hundreds of billions of people would be affected, and countless prosperous cities would turn into ruins.

"If the situation becomes irredeemable, I will retreat," Li Yuan said seriously. "I understand that only by staying alive can we preserve the last glimmer of hope."

"Alas." The girl said, "I can't convince you, so... within my authority, I'll help you once more."

"Your divine sense projection has reached the Hundred Battles Chamber." Gu You said.

"Okay." Li Yuan's heart stirred.

...Inside the Hundred Battles Chamber of the Ancient Divine Palace, there was a vast battle arena.

But Li Yuan hadn't been here in a long time.

"Look down there." Gu You pointed at the empty arena. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Instantly, a large amount of silver liquid rose from the arena, quickly forming into thousands of silver-armored warriors, each wearing battle armor and holding weapons, standing in a tightly packed formation.

It was like an extremely disciplined military array.

In the blink of an eye, the arena was filled with thousands of silver-armored warriors, each exuding a powerful aura, standing in perfect unison like sculptures.

"What's this?" Li Yuan held his breath.

"These silver-armored puppets, each one has Skygliding Apex strength." Gu You explained, "And when ten of them combine, they can barely withstand a Skygliding Extreme powerhouse."

"There are three thousand in total."

"I can temporarily entrust them to you." Gu You looked at Li Yuan, "This is the greatest help I can offer."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

This was equivalent to having three thousand Skygliding Apex powerhouses! Although the Seven Stars Civilization had tens of thousands of Skygliding Warriors, only those present could have reached the Skygliding Apex level.

"These are just Skygliding Puppets, unable to withstand Demigods. But with them, defending the Second and Third Tier Star Realms will be easier, greatly reducing civilian casualties for your civilization." Gu You explained.

"Thank you, Sister." Li Yuan said solemnly.

"There's no need for thanks. As your father's only direct disciple, all my hopes rest on you." Gu You said gravely, "I only ask one thing: act within your means and stay alive."

Time passed.

Under Gu You's guidance, Li Yuan gradually learned to control these Skygliding Puppets.

...

Outside, Li Yuan had already arrived above the Xia Kingdom's capital aboard the Starry Void Glider.

In the void, Bai Shan, a Semigod, had been waiting. His powerful perception allowed them to easily sense each other.

"Senior Bai Shan." Li Yuan approached.

"Elder Yun has sent me a message." Bai Shan said, "Follow me. Dongfang has hidden secrets on various planets, like the mysterious bases he established on Flying Star... and he also set up a base on Blue Star."

"It's right here in Xia Kingdom." Bai Shan continued, "Only I know the location of this base."

A base? Li Yuan's heart stirred. Dongfang, the Alliance Leader, had even imprisoned Semigods in his bases on Flying Star.

"What's inside this base?" Li Yuan asked.

"I don't know." Bai Shan shook his head.

Li Yuan was taken aback.

"Many things, aside from Dongfang himself, are only known to Elder Yun." Bai Shan sighed, "Now that Dongfang is gone, he entrusted them to Fang Hai and you. According to Elder Yun's words... these things are the last resort for the Seven Stars Civilization in times of crisis."

"They're the last resort in times of crisis." Bai Shan emphasized.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The two of them passed through the capital and arrived at the northern mountain range.

Deep in the mountains, there was a heavily guarded base, known to the outside world as a military installation.

Two streaks of light quickly reached the deepest part of the base.

Here, even the soldiers guarding the base couldn't enter. Everywhere were objects concealing the interior, making it look like a dense forest from a distance.

But under Li Yuan's divine sense, he discovered an entrance. It wasn't large, only three meters high.

The outer layer was completely forged from silver metal, resembling a circular door.

"This seems to be a downward circular passage." Li Yuan was surprised, "My divine sense has a radius of nearly eight kilometers, yet I can't perceive the end? How deep is this passage?"

"You've sensed it?" Bai Shan asked.

Li Yuan nodded and said gravely, "Senior, how do we enter?"

"Just stand at the entrance." Bai Shan replied, "That's what Elder Yun said."

Li Yuan found it strange but still flashed to a spot two meters from the silver metal passage.

The next second—

Whoosh~ It was as if an invisible wave had passed through Li Yuan's entire body.

"Seven Stars Civilization Deputy, granted entry by the Flame Nexus." A mechanical voice sounded.

Boom! The silver metal door split open, revealing a deep and mysterious passage.
