Chapter 479: The Foundation of Civilization! Killing into the Demon Realm

Chapter 479: The Foundation of Civilization! Killing into the Demon Realm

"Lie Feng, do you already know about this?" Fang Hai's face flashed with surprise.

"Yes."

"Principal, you brought Lan Yue from the Flame City Martial Hall into the Flame City Martial Hall, and before taking over San Ye's affairs, I naturally will ask her about the situation of the civilization over the past decade." Li Yuan said.

"Alliance Leader." Lin Lan Yue helplessly replied, "According to the rules, all the information and messages I control... he is also qualified to know."

"Lan Yue, I'm not saying you did anything wrong." Fang Hai smiled and sighed, "Lie Feng is Li Yuan's teacher. It's only right that he asks."

In the beginning, when Li Yuan first arrived in the Flying Star, in order to comprehend the mysteries of wind, he followed Lie Feng for a period of time.

Later, when Li Yuan's cultivation got back on track, Lie Feng left the Seven Stars Civilization.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years had passed.

"Li Yuan."

"I don't fully understand the matters concerning Lie Feng, so I'll explain it to you in detail." Fang Hai said.

"Please, Principal." Li Yuan replied.

"Lie Feng's hometown was destroyed by the Demon Civilization. You should know this." Fang Hai explained.

Li Yuan nodded, knowing even more about Lie Feng and Dong Fang Meng Zhu's relationship.

"Back then, Lie Feng was our civilization's guest minister." Fang Hai continued, "After teaching you, he was specially allowed to enter the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains world, and he ventured into the outskirts of the Ancient Immortal Ruins Domain."

Li Yuan was also aware of this matter.

"Five years after you entered the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, Lie Feng returned." Fang Hai said.

Li Yuan's heart stirred. Ten years ago?

"He was already over nine hundred years old, closer to his life's limit. He had made a breakthrough in his strength, estimated to have reached the peak of Half-Deity, but he still couldn't break through to the Void Deity Realm." Fang Hai sighed, "He only stayed in our Seven Stars Civilization for a few months before leaving."

"He left?" Li Yuan asked softly.

"Hmm." Fang Hai sighed, "He started hunting down Half-Deities of the Demon Civilization who were wandering in the cracks of the starry sky... He wanted revenge."

"His strength was formidable, and the three great deities of the Demon Civilization dared not leave the civilization, so they were always unable to defeat him."

"Until a year ago, in the cracks of the starry sky, he encountered a Half-Deity from the Immortal Ruin Civilization."

"I don't know how the conflict between the two sides started," Fang Hai said, "But he should have obtained a precious treasure, attracting the covetousness of the Immortal Ruin Civilization."

"After being hunted down, Lie Feng was trapped by the combined efforts of the Immortal Ruin Civilization and the Wan Xia Civilization's Void Deities in the depths of the 'Ice River Galaxy'. They have been tracking his whereabouts ever since." Fang Hai continued, "It's been four months now... Lie Feng was our Seven Stars Civilization's guest minister, and he had even sought our help."

"However, you know the current situation of our Seven Stars Civilization." Fang Hai said, "We can barely defend ourselves, let alone rescue him."

"Many things have happened within the civilization during your absence these past ten years."

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

After just speaking with Lin Lan Yue, he had already learned a lot.

"Li Yuan, you disappeared for ten years, and Fang Hai has been worried about you." San Ye, who was standing beside them, said, "Especially during the Ming Xu Civilization's upheaval five years ago, when the Ten-Thousand Scale Beast Emperor died, we lost the last clue that could reveal your life or death, and we became even more concerned."

Li Yuan's heart stirred. During the fifteen years of his absence, the two biggest upheavals in the Seven Stars Civilization involved the Blue Star.

Both were also related to the Immortal Ruin Civilization.

One was the Kunlun Star Realm's upheaval eight and six years ago, which gradually elevated the Kunlun Star Realm to a third and fourth-level star realm.

After the Kunlun Star Realm was upgraded to a fourth-level star realm, the Immortal Ruin Civilization's probing began... In the end, dozens of Half-Deities from the Immortal Ruin Civilization died, and the Seven Stars Civilization also suffered heavy losses. Among them, Li Yuan's Soul Servant, Sang Qiu, a Half-Deity, died in battle.

The Ming Xu Civilization's upheaval was five years ago.

The Ming Xu Star Realm became turbulent, and a passageway leading to the Immortal Ruin Civilization appeared. Then, the entrances to various star realms were elevated to the third level... A star realm dispute ensued.

"The Ming Xu Civilization's upheaval."

"Fortunately, you left behind a large number of Flying Heaven Peak Puppets, and Lan Yue, Alicia, and their group of top geniuses fought, and we were finally able to hold our ground." San Ye sighed.

Five years ago, Lin Lan Yue was still at the Flying Heaven Realm.

Now, she has broken through, while Alicia remains at the Flying Heaven Realm.

"Hmm, that generation of people, including Yu Jinghe and Alicia, have also grown up." Li Yuan nodded lightly, "Alicia's progress has also been quite fast."

Li Yuan already knew that within the Seven Stars Civilization, the most dazzling ones at the Flying Heaven Realm were Yu Jinghe and Alicia.

As for his friends like Tan Tai Feng and Tian Dazhuang, they had basically all entered the Flying Heaven Realm.

Time passes, and generation after generation grows, just like this.

"The Kunlun Star Realm's battle relied on the teacher's Void Deity puppet to deter the Immortal Ruin Civilization." Fang Hai spoke in a low voice, "The reason we were able to defend the Ming Xu Star Realm was, in essence, due to the help of that Divine-level Civilization's mother ship..."

Li Yuan's heart stirred. Was it the help of the Sky Serpent Clan's mother ship?

That's right!

With the terrifying power of the Immortal Ruin Civilization, if they wanted to invade a third-level star realm, it would be an easy task, not something the Seven Stars Civilization could resist.

"Did Xue Yan die too?" Li Yuan asked.

When he left, he had left behind three Soul Servants to judge his life or death.

"We don't know the exact cause of his death, it might have been during one of his adventures." Fang Hai shook his head.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Such was the path of cultivation, where even the most powerful techniques could fail.

No one could have predicted that in just over a decade, Lan Xing would undergo such turmoil, leading to the successive deaths of Sang Qiu, a Half-Deity, and Wan Lin, the Beast Emperor.

"Li Yuan, I can sense that your strength has improved greatly over the past decade, but you must still be cautious." Fang Hai spoke with gravity. "I know how you feel about Lie Feng, the Half-Deity... But if you want to save him, you must consider all possibilities."

"As far as we know, the Immortal Ruin Civilization might have sent a Void Deity at the peak of their power."

"Even if my master were still here, he might not be able to defeat them." Fang Hai added sincerely.

He understood Li Yuan's personality and was concerned that Li Yuan's eagerness to save Lie Feng might lead him to take direct action.

"A Void Deity at the peak?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"A Void Deity at the peak is nothing." A voice suddenly rang out, followed by a green snake slithering out of Li Yuan's sleeve. "Not to mention my big brother, even I could handle a Void Deity at the peak."

"Even against a Void Deity at the limit, they might not be a match for big brother." Liu Bing added.

The others in the room looked at Liu Bing in surprise.

All three of them were Half-Deities, and Fang Hai's strength was no less than a Void Deity at the initial stage.

But just now, they hadn't sensed a hint of Liu Bing's presence.

"Liu Bing?" Fang Hai's eyes flashed as he looked at Liu Bing, now able to sense her terrifying power.

She seemed to have surpassed them all.

"Yes." Liu Bing nodded, then looked up at Li Yuan. "Big brother, I understood what you said to Lan Yue, and your exchange with Alliance Leader Fang Hai and the others. I get it now."

"Before, we only planned to destroy the Demon Civilization."

"But now, it seems the Immortal Ruin Civilization is no good either. They dared to invade the Seventh Star Civilization while we were away. It's just a small force created by a True God, so let's destroy them together." Liu Bing spoke with killing intent.

However, her words left Fang Hai, San Ye, and Lin Lan Yue completely stunned.

Liu Bing's tone was too bold.

Could she casually eliminate a Void Deity at the peak? She didn't even seem to care about the Immortal Ruin Civilization? It was common knowledge that Fang Hai aspired to become a True God.

But at least for now, the Immortal Ruin Civilization was still an unshakable behemoth in his eyes, the undisputed ruler of the mortal realm.

"Li Yuan, is Liu Bing telling the truth?" Fang Hai couldn't help but ask, his gaze fixed on Li Yuan.

"If the Immortal Ruin Civilization has a True God now, I'm not confident in destroying it." Li Yuan replied honestly. "But if they don't have a True God, I'm about ninety percent confident in destroying them."

In fact, after his exchange with Lin Lan Yue, Li Yuan learned that the Immortal Ruin Civilization had launched two exploratory wars against Lan Xing, causing thousands of deaths and the fall of numerous powerful beings, including the Half-Deity, Dan Tai Lie.

At that time, Li Yuan had already developed a desire to destroy the Immortal Ruin Civilization.

Having wandered the Celestial Star Continent, he had encountered numerous Heaven Deities and slain many Void Deities.

How high was Li Yuan's perception? A civilization with just a few hundred life planets was not even one percent of Yuan Country.

Moreover, due to environmental influences, it was already remarkable for them to have dozens of Void Deities in the current era.

Li Yuan spoke casually, but Fang Hai and the others were even more shocked.

Liu Bing? She might be boasting.

But they all understood Li Yuan's personality; if he said he had ninety percent confidence, it was as good as a hundred percent.

"Principal."

"I was going to give this to you later, but I'll bring it out now." Li Yuan said. "Lan Yue, San Ye, you're both core members of the civilization now, so you can take a look too."

"Also, Alliance Leader, you can call Lan Te over."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand, and dozens of storage treasures flew out, hovering in front of the three of them.

"What's this?" Fang Hai was taken aback.

"One is a sect's heritage, and the rest are various treasures." Li Yuan explained. "You can take a look."

Fang Hai, San Ye, and Lin Lan Yue released their divine perception and began to sense and investigate.

Treasures.

Naturally, these were treasures Li Yuan had obtained from Celestial Star Ancient City and by slaying numerous Half-Deities and Void Deities.

As for the sect's heritage? It was a 'Divine Country-level Heritage' that Li Yuan had obtained from Celestial Star Ancient City for thirty thousand Celestial Star Points.

On the Celestial Star Continent.

Every True God that established a Divine Country would recruit countless Void Deities, Half-Deities, and a staggering number of low-level Star Techniques, ordinary sects, and various common heritages.

A civilization's heritage wasn't necessarily better the more powerful it was; instead, it needed to be comprehensive, from low to high.

So, Celestial Star Ancient City thoughtfully prepared 'Divine Country-level Heritage' for True Gods who wished to establish a Divine Country, a heritage that encompassed everything."

Li Yuan also obtained one.

Time passed.

"So many Star Techniques?"

"So many sects."

"This sword technique, a True God-level sword technique? And a Heaven Deity sect?" Fang Hai and the others, along with Lan Te and Xue Bu, who had rushed over after hearing the news, were all dumbfounded.

"My master left behind a True God-level 'Ten Thousand Divine Heritage Palace,' but it's still not as good as your heritages, Li Yuan." Fang Hai couldn't help but say.

Li Yuan smiled.

He was well aware of what Dong Fang Meng Zhu had left behind—one of the treasures that the Golden Robe Disciples could choose from... However, compared to the vast amount of heritage gathered by Perception Star Ancient City, it still fell short.

Of course, the heritage left by Dong Fang Ji still held immense value, and when combined with what he had brought, it would further deepen the foundation of the Seventh Star Civilization.

"Heritage is one aspect."

"And treasures." Lant, a Half-Deity, exclaimed excitedly, "So many Half-Deity artifacts, True Artifacts, and various auxiliary cultivation tools, pills, and more."

"With a large number of treasures complementing the cultivation methods, the rise of powerful cultivators in the Seventh Star Civilization will be at least ten times faster." Xue Bu, a Half-Deity, had a gleam in his eyes, "I knew it, Li Yuan. If you hadn't fallen, once you return, you will surely bring my Seventh Star Civilization to unprecedented heights."

"With these resources and cultivation methods, Lant, the probability of us breaking through to the Void Deity realm will likely increase significantly." Xue Bu, a Half-Deity, smiled.

The two of them were both peak Half-Deity cultivators and core members of the Seventh Star Civilization.

In the past, there were some heritages, but there weren't any good auxiliary cultivation tools.

Cultivation.

One's innate talent, cultivation methods, and auxiliary cultivation treasures... all three were indispensable.

In places like the Divine Realm and Celestial Star Continent, with the same number of living beings, why were there so many more powerful cultivators born? Could it be that their innate talents were simply higher?

Innate talent was just one aspect.

More importantly, the resources were generally more abundant.

Li Yuan looked at the excited crowd and sighed inwardly, feeling that the Mortal Realm was far more barren compared to the Divine Realm and Celestial Star Continent.

It could be said that if a cultivator in the Mortal Realm could reach the peak Half-Deity realm, they would likely be able to cultivate to the Void Deity realm if they were in the Celestial Star Continent.

Just like Dong Fang Meng Zhu, if he had been born in the Celestial Star Continent, he would have had the hope of awakening the Nine Star Meridian.

One's achievements depended on personal effort, but also on the opportunities presented by the times.

"Li Yuan, your contribution is immense." Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan and couldn't help but say, "Your heritages and treasures surpass what our teacher left behind. With these, the foundation of our Seventh Star Civilization can surpass the three major hegemonic forces and be considered the number one in the Mortal Realm."

"Dong Fang Meng Zhu laid the foundation for our civilization." Li Yuan shook his head, "This kind of merit is something that later generations cannot surpass."

"Just like Senior Lant, your significance in the history of our Seventh Star Civilization is also irreplaceable." Li Yuan said solemnly.

These words brought smiles to the faces of the Half-Deities present.

"What a pity."

"Now, with what you've brought, Li Yuan, our Seventh Star Civilization's cultivation methods and treasures are more than enough." Xue Bu, a Half-Deity, sighed, "But the population is too small, only seven Life Planets, and with full efforts in reproduction, the living space is limited... The number of geniuses born is also small, and even producing a Void Deity may not be easy."

"Yes!"

"We must reach the True God realm to advance the dimensional plane." The Half-Deities present couldn't help but feel helpless.

Who would have thought that the Seventh Star Civilization could consecutively give birth to two formidable cultivators, Dong Fang Meng Zhu and Li Yuan, elevating the entire civilization's foundation to an unimaginable level.

On the contrary, the population size of the civilization itself limited its development.

"Everyone."

"Regarding the advancement of the dimensional plane, I've also made the necessary preparations." Li Yuan spoke softly, "Within ten years, I guarantee that the Seventh Star Civilization will have over a hundred Life Planets... It won't be a lack of living space, but rather a lack of population to occupy them."

"What?"

"Over a hundred Life Planets?"

"Doesn't advancing the dimensional plane require the power of a True God?" Fang Hai and Lant, both Half-Deities, were beyond amazed.

What Li Yuan had brought completely exceeded their imagination.

"Civilization advancement requires time." Li Yuan said, "If you're willing, you can come with me to take care of a major threat to our Seventh Star Civilization—the Demon Civilization."

"Eliminate the Demon Civilization?"

"Now?"

"The Demon Civilization has a Void Deity peak cultivator." Lant and Xue Bu, both Half-Deities, were astonished.

They hadn't heard Liu Bing's words.

"Li Yuan, are you sure?" Fang Hai still hesitated, "Since the Flying Star Battle fifteen years ago, the three Divine Kings of the Demon Civilization have been guarding the Magic Mountain Star."

"There's a Power Matrix there, and with Eastern Demon's strength, even a Void Deity at the peak may find it difficult to subdue them in one move."

The group of Half-Deities also looked at Li Yuan.

It wasn't that Fang Hai and Lin Lan Yue didn't believe Li Yuan's words...

Half-Deities killing a Void Deity peak cultivator? It was too incredible.

It was known that in the entire Mortal Realm's history, for a Half-Deity's strength to reach the Void Deity realm was almost mythical, with one appearing once every ten thousand years.

"Believe me." Li Yuan smiled.

In the entire Mortal Realm, there were tens of thousands of dimensional civilizations, but the total number of living beings, if added up, was probably only a few times more than the population of the Divine Realm... Due to environmental influences, the number of powerful cultivators born was far inferior to the Divine Realm.

In the Divine Realm, a Half-Deity with a Seven Star Meridian like Jiang Shan would appear once every few decades.

But in the Mortal Realm, it was a rarity seen once every ten thousand years.

"Let's go, no time to waste."

"No need to notify the other Half-Deities for now, to prevent the news from leaking." Li Yuan said, "Let's first eliminate the Demon Civilization."

Although he wanted to rescue San Ye, a Half-Deity, in Li Yuan's heart, there were priorities.

The Seventh Star Civilization was more important.

And what threatened the foundation of the Seventh Star Civilization was the Demon Civilization and the Immortal Ruin Civilization.

The destruction of the Immortal Ruin Civilization? This civilization, with a history spanning hundreds of thousands of years and having produced more than one True God, should be treated with utmost caution.

To annihilate the Demon Civilization? In Li Yuan's eyes, it was not the slightest challenge.

"Everyone, don't resist," Li Yuan instructed.

Hoo!

With a mere thought, Li Yuan's invisible power enveloped Fang Hai, Lant, a male Demigod, Lin Lan Yue, and others.

"What?"

"This power?" The group of Demigods was increasingly shocked.

Boom! The force was so strong that only Fang Hai could slightly resist, while Lin Lan Yue and the others were completely powerless.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan swiftly led the group away from the Flame City Martial Hall headquarters, transforming into a streak of light that flew through the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, they surpassed a speed of one hundred kilometers per second.

"So fast?"

"Even a Void Deity's flight speed wouldn't be this fast, right?"

"This is inside a planet, after all." At this moment, the group of Demigods finally believed Li Yuan's words.

"Could it be that today, we can truly end the Demon Civilization?" There was a hint of excitement in Lant, the Demigod's eyes.

"Lant, don't get too excited." Liu Bing, entwined around Li Yuan's arm, smiled and said, "It's just killing a few Void Deities."

Liu Bing had personally witnessed Li Yuan's overwhelming power during the Ancestral Realm War.

Those geniuses from the Divine Realm, each of them at the peak of Void Deity power, were swept aside by Li Yuan.

In less than a minute—

"The entrance to the Demon Mountain Star Realm Gateway is here." Li Yuan led the group of Demigods.

They directly passed through the site of the Flying Star Battle.

In reality, several Demigods guarded this place, including the Void Deity Puppet on the Flying Star, all of whom were stationed here.

But with Li Yuan's current spatial true intent, they silently passed through without any Demigod noticing.

Only the grand array laid out by Dong Fang Ji had some sort of reaction.

But after sensing Li Yuan and Fang Hai's auras, the central hub of the grand array naturally had no response.

...

The Demon Mountain Star Realm, was a place where Demigods could come and go freely.

The group traveled through the Demon Mountain Star Realm.

"We're almost there. Through that passage, we'll reach the heart of the Demon Civilization." Fang Hai spoke in a low voice, "Li Yuan, shouldn't we be more careful? We won't accompany you, to avoid interfering with your battle."

"As long as they're not True Gods, there's no impact." Li Yuan said indifferently.

In just over a decade, the Eastern Void Deity might have reached the Void Deity limit, but becoming a True God? Li Yuan didn't believe it.

If they had stepped into the True God Realm, they should have already driven the Demon Civilization to evolve again.

"Xiao Bing."

"If there's really an unexpected situation later, you're responsible for handling it." Li Yuan said directly.

"Alright!" Liu Bing's eyes lit up. When it came to fighting, she knew she couldn't compare to Li Yuan.

But in terms of protecting people, she was still very capable.

Especially after obtaining the 'Heavenly God King' inheritance, Liu Bing's strength had improved astonishingly compared to during the Ancestral Realm War.

Boom!

The group directly followed Li Yuan into the Star Realm Gateway.

...

The Demon Mountain Star, in the past, was just an inconspicuous planet within the Demon Civilization.

But in the last decade, it had become the heart of the Demon Civilization.

The three great divine beings all guarded this place, and naturally, a large number of Demigods followed, seeking their guidance on the mysteries of the laws.

In just over a decade, the Demon Mountain Star had become bustling and prosperous.

Above the nearly one-hundred-kilometer-wide Star Realm Gateway entrance, there was an ultra-large-scale suspended palace.

Many Flying Heaven Rank warriors guarded the gateway entrance from all sides.

"That's the Demon Palace?"

"It's said that the three great divine beings guard this place."

"You're new here, so you probably don't know much yet. Many Demigods come here to seek the guidance of the three great divine beings on the intricacies of the laws."

"I heard that the three great divine beings guard this place to prevent an invasion from the Seven Stars Civilization?"

"Mhm."

"The Seven Stars Civilization's Dong Fang Ji and Li Yuan, in a single battle, killed hundreds of our Demigods."

"If they infiltrated our Demon Civilization, they'd probably bring about a catastrophe."

"However, with the three great divine beings guarding this place, the Demon Mountain Star is actually the safest." The many Flying Heaven Rank warriors exchanged words, still full of confidence in their own civilization.

After all, the Demon Civilization had a heritage spanning hundreds of thousands of years. Who could believe that it would be destroyed in a single day?

Suddenly—

Boom!

In the entrance to the Star Realm Gateway, which had been quiet for many years, a dazzling streak of light flashed by, and a battle ship hovered.

On the battle ship were several figures.

Following that, a figure in black stepped off the battle ship. Wherever his gaze fell, the void of heaven and earth gave birth to a series of yellowish-brown air currents, like rivers flowing.

Boom!

In an instant, the yellowish-brown air currents flooded everything within a radius, directly starting to destroy a portion of the Power Source Grand Array.

The hundreds of Flying Heaven Rank warriors guarding the area were instantly killed.

The heavens and earth shook.

Boom! Boom! The 'Demon Palace', with its majestic aura, seemed like a small boat rocking in the void.
