Chapter 482: Influencing an Entire Civilization

Chapter 482: Influencing an Entire Civilization



"Has the war with the Demon Civilization ended?"

"Has the Demon Civilization been exterminated?"

"Li Yuan, you defeated and captured the three Void Deities of the Demon Civilization alive?" The high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Civilization at the assembly were left stunned and bewildered by every word spoken by Lan Yue, the Demigod.

Even those with some insider knowledge, who had vaguely heard about the devastating blow to the Demon Civilization, dared not imagine that the Demon Civilization had truly been completely annihilated.

After all, they were a god-level civilization.

Seconds later, the entire assembly erupted with thundering cheers and roars. These high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Civilization had gone completely crazy.

"We won!!!"

"Well fought! You've killed off the Demon Civilization's scum! Good riddance!"

"Li Deputy Leader? I thought there were rumors of his possible demise. There hasn't been any news for over a decade."

"It's definitely him. Li Deputy is an exceptional freak. Back when Dongfang Leader was still around, he predicted that Li Deputy would surpass him and become the strongest in our Seven Stars Civilization. But I never thought it would be this fast."

"A Demigod? Li Deputy is still a Demigod, and he managed to defeat three Void Deities. What kind of strength is this?"

"This is our Seven Stars Civilization's good fortune!"

"Our Seven Stars Civilization, in just a few hundred years, has given birth to successive heaven-defying existences like Dongfang Leader and Li Deputy."

"Haha, we finally won."

"After three hundred years of war, we can finally console the billions of lives sacrificed over the generations."

"Brother, do you know? We finally won! We've exterminated the Demon Civilization!"

"Rise!"

"With the Demon Civilization gone, our Seven Stars Civilization no longer faces a major external threat." The countless high-ranking members at the assembly had lost their composure, especially the older Demigods and Skywalkers.

Demigods like Xue Long, Yan Ming, and Bai Shan were so overwhelmed with emotion that they almost shed tears.

Their mindset was something that the younger generation of Demigods and Skywalkers couldn't comprehend.

From the first Flying Star War in the 1766th year of the Seven Stars Calendar to the present 2067th year.

It had already been three hundred years!!

The younger generation, like Alicia and Yu Jinghe, had grown up facing numerous tribulations and participated in countless wars.

Since they came of age, Dongfang Leader had been the pillar of the civilization, and the Seven Stars Civilization seemed to have never encountered an extinction-level crisis.

But these older Demigods had lived for several hundred years, and they had truly experienced the first Flying Star War, where the Flying Star was completely conquered, and over six billion people were slaughtered.

In the Tianhai Star War, over one billion were slaughtered...

In the second Flying Star War in the 1920th year of the Seven Stars Calendar, over two billion were slaughtered again... If not for Dongfang Leader's desperate efforts, the Seven Stars Civilization would have faced total extinction.

These were just the wars where over one billion were slaughtered. Wars like the 'Lan Tie Star Danger' experienced by Li Yuan had occurred over ten times...

In both Flying Star Wars, civilization was almost destroyed.

Each invasion by the Demon Civilization aimed to exterminate the Seven Stars Civilization.

Precisely for this reason, while the Seven Stars Civilization could negotiate with any other civilization, all high-ranking members, including Dongfang Leader, Fang Hai, and the others, had a consistent attitude towards the Demon Civilization: there was no room for negotiation, only one civilization would survive. (367)



"Well fought!"

"They should all be killed off! Lan Yue said that Li Deputy destroyed ninety-nine percent, so there must be a few left. We must finish them off!"

"They must have hidden in the lower-level star realms. We must kill them all. I suggest we immediately start recruiting a massive army and invade."

"I volunteer to go to the Demon Civilization right now."

"Not a single one should be left alive!!!" The older Demigods were in a state of frenzy.

The crisis of 'Civilization Extinction', which had lasted for three hundred years, had always loomed over their minds.

Even with the rise of Dongfang Leader, Fang Hai, and Li Yuan.

Even during the third Flying Star War, when Dongfang Leader single-handedly killed hundreds of Demon Demigods, it didn't alleviate the sense of crisis for these Demigods...

In their perception, the Seven Stars Civilization's territory was too small, and the population was too few.

In the minds of these older Demigods, if the Seven Stars Civilization had only seven planets all along, in the thousands of years of war with the Demon Civilization, there would eventually be a day of annihilation.

But today.

They had won, finally and completely. They had annihilated the entire Demon Civilization.

At this moment, in the hearts of many older Demigods, Li Yuan's status was so high that it rivaled, or even surpassed, Dongfang Leader.

One battle had determined the foundation of their civilization for ten thousand years.

After a while, the assembly gradually quieted down.

"Next."

"Please prepare all high-ranking members of the civilization." Lan Yue continued, "We will recruit a large force and enter the Demon Civilization through the star realms. We will conquer and purge the lower-level star realms to prevent the Demon Civilization from rising from the ashes."

"After a thorough purge, we will also begin to expand our Seven Stars Civilization's living space."

"In addition to this."

"Li Deputy has already initiated civilization evolution. In the next eight years, our Seven Stars Civilization will gradually give birth to new life planets one by one..."

"In the next hundred years, we will implement a comprehensive population growth policy. For the first child born, there will be a direct reward of five hundred thousand Seven Star Coins. For the second child..."

"At the same time, we will implement a 'Population Migration Encouragement' policy..."

"We will implement a 'Universal Cultivation Plan', where every child, from infancy, will receive martial arts subsidies..."

"The above are just general guidelines. For different planets, countries, and migrating planets, the plans and policies will be continuously adjusted.

”

“Furthermore, Deputy Leader Li has brought a large number of treasures. From today onward, every newly ascended Skywalker or Demigod within the civilization will receive additional points as a reward and the opportunity to study Star Techniques.” The Half-Deity Lan Yue announced several orders: “In addition, those who pass certain trials will be granted the secret treasure ‘Celestial Star Pill,’ which can aid in awakening the Life Planet…”

Each piece of news was like a heavy bomb, leaving these Skywalkers and Demigods speechless and wide-eyed.

It was too outrageous.

A comprehensive expansion plan, astonishing incentives for reproduction, and martial cultivation incentives…

“How many resources, how many treasures does this require?”

“Deputy Leader Li Yuan, did he plunder the Immortal Ruin Civilization?” Many Demigods thought this.

The Immortal Ruin Civilization was the most powerful force these Demigods could come into contact with.

But in their imagination, the Immortal Ruination probably wasn't this wealthy.

They weren't entirely wrong.

Civilizations like the Immortal Ruin Civilization and the Ten Thousand Dazzling Civilization, though they had given birth to more than one True God in history, were limited by the impoverished environment of the Mortal Realm and did not receive many resources.

Moreover, when these True Gods ascended to the Divine Realm, they would often take their main treasures with them, leaving even fewer treasures for the civilization.

Like Dong Fang Ji, who left behind most of his accumulation, was ultimately a minority.

And like Li Yuan and Liu Bing, who exchanged ordinary resources for divine crystals worth millions? This was something most True Gods wouldn't even dare to think about.

“It seems Deputy Leader Li truly has great fortune and great gains.”

“If so, our Seven Stars Civilization will surely become even more powerful in the near future.” Many Demigods and Skywalkers thought this, their hearts filled with various thoughts.

After announcing all the orders.

“Furthermore.”

“Just received a suggestion from Deputy Leader Li Yuan, the memorial event will be postponed to a month later.” Lan Yue, the Half-Deity, said: “To invite various civilizations from all corners of the Mortal Realm to attend.”

This Seven Stars Assembly ended.

But the profound impact of this meeting was just beginning.

Every Demigod and Skywalker who attended the meeting knew that the ‘extinction crisis’ hanging over the Seven Stars Civilization, due to the fall of the Demon Civilization, had vanished like smoke.

In the coming decades or even centuries, the entire Seven Stars Civilization would grow and evolve at a speed ten or a hundred times faster than before.

This would be the era of great expansion and immigration for the Seven Stars Civilization! And countless opportunities would arise.

All of this was brought about by Li Yuan.

…

After the meeting ended.

On Planet Blue, in the continent of Europa, within an estate.

“Half-Deity Realm, defeating and capturing a peak Void Deity? How is that possible!!” A young voice echoed in Alicia's mind, filled with shock.

“Planar Evolution, could it be that the Seven Stars Civilization has already given birth to a True God? Heaven.”

“Or did Li Yuan bring a Planar Evolution Divine Artifact?” Little Star was utterly shocked.

“I didn’t expect it either.” Alicia sighed softly: “He’s too strong, too unbelievable.”

“After more than ten years, I thought the gap wasn’t that big, but….” The blonde Alicia shook her head.

It felt like a dream to her.

“Seize this opportunity.” Little Star transmitted: “Li Yuan must have obtained great fortune and great treasures in the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain… Such a world-defying genius, even in the Divine Realm, would absolutely enter the highest ranks of major powers.”

“His future, he has a complete chance to become a Heaven Deity. Follow him, work hard to keep up with him, and you absolutely have a chance to become a Void Deity, or even a True God.” Little Star said excitedly: “In the history of the Divine Realm, every time a super powerhouse rises, a large number of strong figures will rise alongside them.”

“This is influence!”

“And also destiny!”

…

On the Flying Star, within the headquarters of the Seven Stars Alliance.

“Elder Lan Te.”

“Considering strength, Lan Yue has only been a Half-Deity for two to three years, barely reaching the mid-stage of the Half-Deity Realm. Do you really have to urgently designate her as the Deputy Leader?” Fang Hai was somewhat hesitant: “There are quite a few Demigods within the civilization who are stronger than her.”

“Shouldn’t we wait a bit longer?” Fang Hai asked.

Although he wanted to cultivate Lin Lan Yue, he felt that Elder Lan Te’s plan was too hasty.

“Fang Hai, my thoughts are different from yours.”

“You will eventually have to challenge the Nine Mountains World.” Elder Lan Te said.

Fang Hai nodded involuntarily.

“Once you succeed, just like Eastern Leader and Li Yuan, you will have to leave soon after.” Lan Te, the Half-Deity, said: “At that time, who will take over the vast resources you leave behind? Who will steer the entire civilization?”

Fang Hai was momentarily stunned.

“You are a disciple of Eastern Leader, and Li Yuan is also from the Xia Kingdom, so Eastern Leader is at ease.” Lan Te, the Half-Deity, said: “But if both you and Li Yuan leave, who will take over? Me? Xue Bu? San Ye? Xin Yu? Bai Shan?”

“Bai Shan is old and lacks potential.”

“I and Xue Bu, Xin Yu, are not born on Blue Star.”

“San Ye, you trust her, but she is not from Blue Star. Would Li Yuan completely trust her?” Lan Te, the Half-Deity, sighed.

Fang Hai fell into deep thought.

“Looking around,”

“Lan Yue is the most suitable.” Lan Te, the Half-Deity, said: “In terms of strength, she is growing extremely fast. In a few more years, with the partial Divine Beast bloodline, she might reach the peak of the Demigod Realm, which is sufficient strength.”

“In terms of identity, she is from the Xia Kingdom and has Flying Star bloodline… Her relationship with Li Yuan is also special, and she can gain Li Yuan’s trust.”

“In fact, not just Lan Yue,”

“We should increase the cultivation of the younger generation, such as Alicia, Yu Jinghe, Dantai Feng, and other strong figures from the Xia Kingdom or Blue Star. We should strive to cultivate them into Demigods before Li Yuan leaves.” Lan Te, the Half-deity, said.

“Only then can we make Li Yuan completely at ease.”

(End of Chapter)"Li Yuan will consider the bigger picture." Fang Hai spoke solemnly, "He's not the type of petty person."

"I understand Li Yuan's temperament." Lant, a male half-deity, said, "But all humans have their own interests. Just like Dong Fang, they have their own motives."

Fang Hai fell silent.

Indeed, humans have their own interests.

When Dong Fang Ji was in power, he would also favor the Xia Kingdom, such as the Seven Star Mountain member quota, and there would be special exceptions for the Xia Kingdom.

Over the past decade, Fang Hai, as the leader of the civilization, would also favor the Xia Kingdom.

This was inevitable.

"If you strongly promote Lan Yue, the other half-deities will have opinions, right?" Fang Hai asked.

"I and Xue Bu, a male half-deity, will be responsible for persuading a portion of the half-deities." Lant, a male half-deity, said, "You can take care of the half-deities from the Flame City Martial Hall."

"Alright." Fang Hai eventually agreed to this plan.

He promoted Lan Yue, a female half-deity, and invited her to the Flame City Martial Hall, not without the reason that Lin Lan Yue was from the Xia Kingdom.

The number of half-deities in the Xia Kingdom was very small.

...

"Xin Yu, Bero Duo." Lant quickly went to see the other two half-deities.

Both of them were leaders of factions within the civilization.

"Support Lan Yue, a female half-deity, to succeed as the leader after Fang Hai steps down?"

"That little girl?" The two half-deities were somewhat resistant, as they felt Lin Lan Yue was too inexperienced in their eyes.

She's only been a half-deity for a few years?

Even if she has the potential to reach the peak of half-deity status in the future, her experience is still too shallow.

"You two need to look at the bigger picture." Lant smiled and said, "Letting Lan Yue take charge will put Li Deputy Leader and Fang Hai at ease. My Seven Star Civilization is expanding rapidly... The Xia Kingdom and Lan Xing have the most abundant resources."

"If we obtain a small portion, we will surpass the entire Seven Star Civilization of today in the future."

"Moreover..."

"We must understand that what's truly important is not these immediate resources, but Dong Fang, the leader, and Li, the deputy leader."

"Even if they leave, there's still hope for them to become legendary True Gods in the future."

"At that time, they can return to the Mortal Realm, and that will be the era when my Seven Star Civilization becomes even stronger." Lant spoke softly, "With the resources we have now, we have a real chance to cultivate into Void Deities."

"We might even witness that day."

"At that time, we will be the 'founding elders' of the Seven Star Civilization, and we will gain complete trust."

"If we also gain the favor of the True Gods, there's hope for us to become True Gods." Lant painted a grand picture.

The two half-deities were moved.

Both of them had already reached the peak of the half-deity realm, and cultivating into a Void Deity was not an empty dream.

True God? That was a realm they dared not even imagine in the past.

Compared to the title of deputy leader or leader, becoming a True God in the future was obviously more enticing.

Moreover...

Just as Lant had said, in the upcoming era, their influence in the Seven Star Civilization would surge.

...

In the capital of the Xia Kingdom, within a beautiful mansion.

"Grandma!"

"Grandma." A tall and a small child played in the mansion, while several bodyguards stood nearby, keeping watch.

Chen Hui, in her late sixties, smiled as she watched her grandchildren. Despite her age, she still looked youthful, like a middle-aged person in their thirties.

Over a decade had passed, and she had become a high-level Yuan Wu practitioner.

In a living room within the mansion, a conversation was taking place.

"Mr. Li Chang Zhou." A middle-aged man with white skin and red-clad man sat with a stern-faced man in black beside him.

He smiled and said, "I'm Mandi from the Yi Luo family. I've come to purchase Tier Three Soul Artifacts. May I know if Mr. Li Chang Zhou is willing to sell?"

"The Yi Luo family's half-deity from Lan Xing?" Li Chang Zhou nodded calmly, "I've heard of them."

Li Chang Zhou knew all the half-deities from Lan Xing.

"How many do you want to buy, and what price can you offer?" Li Chang Zhou asked calmly.

"Ten pieces, and we're willing to pay 500 million Seven Star Coins for each." The red-clad man said.

Li Chang Zhou shook his head, "You may leave. My family doesn't have many Soul Artifacts to begin with."

500 million Seven Star Coins was not a high price, but Li Chang Zhou knew they lacked sincerity.

"Mr. Li Chang Zhou, this price is not high. If you're willing to sell, you'll also gain the friendship of my Yi Luo family." The red-clad man spoke earnestly.

"No need to discuss further, please leave." Li Chang Zhou said directly.

"Mr. Li Chang Zhou." The man in black beside him suddenly spoke up, "We're sincere in our request. These artifacts are of no use to you, but they can be of great help to us."

"Last time, Tuo He, the Star Lord, came to ask for one, and you even gave him one, didn't you?"

"Who I give them to is none of your concern." Li Chang Zhou said calmly, "Please leave."

The man in black's expression darkened.

But the red-clad man beside him gave a subtle signal, then stood up and smiled, "Alright, Mr. Li Chang Zhou, we'll take our leave then."

"Hoff, let's go."

The man in black's face turned dark as he followed the red-clad man and quickly left the mansion.

After leaving the mansion.

"Mandi, that Li Chang Zhou clearly isn't giving us face." The man in black spoke in a low voice, "Why bother being polite to him?"

"The Li family is nothing to worry about. That Li Mu Hua has the many opportunities left by her brother, and she's only recently become a Skywalker." The red-clad man shook his head.

"We're not qualified to deal with two Skywalkers." The red-clad man shook his head.

...

"Alright then."

"Let's go back and think of other ways." The two Flying Heaven Martialists quickly left.

The fall of the Demon Civilization and the Seven Star Assembly had only just occurred, and the news had not yet fully spread completely.

These two Flying Heaven Martialists were still unaware.

...

Inside the Li family mansion.

Whoosh! Chen Hui swiftly entered the living room and looked towards her husband, speaking softly, "They're gone?"

"Mhm."

"Like the previous groups of Flying Heaven Martialists, they're all trying their best to obtain some treasures." Li Changzhou smiled, "But I sent them away."

"They're just like a pack of jackals drawn by the scent of blood." Chen Hui spoke in a low voice, "When Sang Qiu was still here, who would dare to come to our door?"

For many years, Sang Qiu, the Demi-God, had been protecting the Li family.

In fact, during the Kunlun Star Realm War years ago, if not for Sang Qiu's protection, Chen Hui and Li Changzhou might have faced danger... But Sang Qiu ultimately perished in battle.

"If they dare to come, let them." Li Changzhou smiled, "No one dares to really take action and seize it."

"If they really take action, the Flying Heaven Puppet left by Xiao Yuan is not one to be trifled with." Li Changzhou said.

Back then, besides Sang Qiu, Li Yuan also left behind many treasures, personally protecting his parents.

"These matters should be informed to Bai Shan, the Demi-God." Chen Hui shook her head and sighed.

"What if we do? Can Bai Shan kill them? Others are just here to negotiate a purchase." Li Changzhou shook his head, "But the treasures left by Xiao Yuan are so enticing, how can we not be disturbed?"

Chen Hui nodded slightly, understanding the logic.

In fact, over the years, their family's life had become extremely comfortable. Back then, during the Kunlun Star Realm War, even though it was known that the Li family possessed treasures that could make Demi-Gods drool, no one dared to rob them... It was just that they couldn't bear the constant disturbances.

"The important thing is to become stronger."

Li Changzhou spoke softly, "The reason no one disturbed us in the past was because Sang Qiu was here, and Sang Qiu being alive proves that Xiao Yuan is fine... But in the past two years, so many people have been watching us because within the civilization, there are rumors that Xiao Yuan has fallen."

"Xiao Yuan?" Chen Hui's heart also felt a wave of discomfort, "It's been fifteen years, and there's not a single piece of news."

In her heart, Xiao Yuan was like her own child.

"In the world of the strong, everything is unknown."

"According to what Bai Shan, the Demi-God, said, Xiao Yuan went to a terrifyingly dangerous place, and his fate is uncertain." Li Changzhou spoke in a low voice, "But, I believe he's alive."

"Sooner or later, Xiao Yuan will return."

...

"Hmm?" Li Changzhou turned to look outside, he had already reached the pinnacle of Source Martial Arts, and his perception was also very sharp.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The couple quickly arrived at the grassy field, and the two children also ran over.

A battle ship slowly descended, and several figures flew out, among them was Bai Shan, the Demi-God.

"Bai Shan, the Demi-God, has come to our place?" Chen Hui was surprised, "That one, we often see on TV, right?"

The two had a clear understanding of Bai Shan's status.

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, it's been a long time." Bai Shan, the Demi-God, smiled warmly, and the few people behind him were extremely polite.

"Senior Bai Shan." Chen Hui and Li Changzhou were quite respectful.

They were clear about Bai Shan's position.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Qing, you've grown so much." Bai Shan, the Demi-God, smiled kindly, "Don't call me Senior, it's too formal, if you don't mind, just call me White Grandpa."

White Grandpa?

The two children were still a little dazed.

But Li Changzhou seemed to understand something, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and with difficulty, he asked, "Senior Bai Shan, has Xiao Yuan returned?"

...

Li Yuan, whose actions caused changes throughout the entire civilization, was not concerned about the outside world.

Flying Star, in the vastness of space.

Ancient God Palace, within a quiet room.

"Boom~"

Accompanied by a violent surge of energy, it violently struck the walls of the quiet room, and everything finally calmed down.

"The fifth trial, finally passed."

Even with Li Yuan's strength, passing this trial took a considerable amount of time.

After all, this fifth trial was not entirely a test of combat strength.

Within the quiet room, a vast amount of brilliance gathered, and finally, it condensed into a yellowish-brown sphere emitting a dazzling light.

The yellowish-brown sphere exuded a majestic aura.

"This is?" Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and his divine perception penetrated into the sphere.

Boom!

"Disciple." A voice resounded in Li Yuan's mind, "Being able to break through the fifth trial indicates a profound understanding of combat and the path of the array..."

"Obtaining this 'Artifact Origin', going to the Divine Realm, and reaching the True God Realm, you will have the hope of obtaining the heritage artifact..."

A vast amount of information appeared in Li Yuan's mind.

"The heritage artifact of the Starry Ancient City, he muttered to himself.
