High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 940: Chapter 478: The Foundation of Civilization! Charge into Wan Mo.

"Lie Feng Semi Divine? You already know? Lanyue told you?" Fang Hai’s face flashed with a hint of surprise.

"Yes."

"Principal, you brought Lin Lanyue from the Starry Sky Martial Hall into the Starfire Martial Hall to take over various matters that the San Ye Semi Divine had previously managed. Now that I’m back, naturally, I need to inquire about the happenings within the civilization over the past ten or more years." Li Yuan said.

"Alliance Hierarch." Lin Lanyue said helplessly, "Li Yuan is the Vice Alliance Hierarch. According to regulations, he has the right to know all the information and data under my supervision."

"Lanyue Semi Divine, I never said you did anything wrong." Fang Hai smiled, then sighed, "The Lie Feng Semi Divine was Li Yuan’s mentor, so it is only right for Li Yuan to inquire."

Back then, when Li Yuan first arrived at Feixing, he followed the Lie Feng Semi Divine for a period to comprehend the mysteries of Wind.

Later, as Li Yuan’s cultivation became regularized, the Lie Feng Semi Divine left the Seven Star Civilization.

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

"Li Yuan."

"The Lanyue Semi Divine only knows about the Lie Feng Semi Divine, but let me tell you in detail." Fang Hai said.

"Principal, please speak." Li Yuan immediately responded.

"The homeland of the Lie Feng Semi Divine—this you should be aware—was extinguished by the Myriad Demons Civilization." Fang Hai said.

Li Yuan nodded. He also knew that the Lie Feng Semi Divine and the Dongfang Alliance Leader were close friends.

"Back then, the Lie Feng Semi Divine served as a Civilization Minister for us." Fang Hai said, "After mentoring you, he received special permission from his teacher to enter the Nine Mountains World and venture near the exterior of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain."

Li Yuan was aware of this matter as well.

"Five years after you ventured into the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, the Lie Feng Semi Divine reappeared." Fang Hai said.

That would be ten years ago?

"He was already over 900 years old, nearing the natural limit of his lifespan. His strength had made some progress, estimated to have reached the Semi-Divine Limit, but he still couldn’t break through." Fang Hai lamented, "He stayed in the Seven Star Civilization for only a few months before leaving."

"He left?" Li Yuan murmured softly.

"Yes." Fang Hai shook his head and sighed. "He began hunting some demigods from the Myriad Demons Civilization who were roaming through the Starry Sky space rifts... He sought revenge."

"He was exceptionally powerful. The three Divine beings of the Myriad Demons Civilization dared not leave their core territories, so they couldn’t deal with him at all."

"Until a year ago, he encountered a demigod from the Immortal Ruins Civilization in the Starry Sky space rift."

"What sparked the conflict, I don’t know." Fang Hai said. "But he must have had a treasured relic that caught the others’ greed."

"The Lie Feng Semi Divine was trapped deep within the Ice River Star System by the combined effort of pseudo-gods from the Immortal Ruins Civilization and Myriad Dawn Civilization, who have been tracking his whereabouts ever since." Fang Hai said. "It’s been four months... The Lie Feng Semi Divine, as our Seven Star Civilization Minister, has sought our assistance."

"However, as you’re aware of our Seven Star Civilization’s current circumstances." Fang Hai shook his head gloomily, "We can hold our ground but are incapable of going on the offensive; there’s no way to save him."

"You’ve been away for these ten-plus years. Many significant events have occurred within the civilization."

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

He had already learned much during his recent conversation with Lin Lanyue.

"Li Yuan, you’ve been missing without a trace for over a decade. Fang Hai has been deeply worried about you." The San Ye Semi Divine sighed, "Especially five years ago—with the ’Mingxu Upheaval’ and the death of the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor—we lost the last clue to discern your life or death, and our concern only deepened."

Li Yuan sighed internally. Over the past fifteen years, the two most significant upheavals in the Seven Star Civilization both involved Blue Star.

And both were connected to the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

One was eight years ago, followed by six years ago. The two instances of ’Kunlun Star Realm Upheaval’ gradually elevated the realm’s entrance from Second Level to Third Level and then Fourth Level.

Upon the Kunlun Star Realm’s rise to Fourth Level, the probing attempts of the Immortal Ruins Civilization began... Ultimately, dozens of demigods from the Immortal Ruins Civilization perished in battle, but the Seven Star Civilization suffered heavy losses as well—Li Yuan’s Soul servant, the Sang Qiu Semi Divine, died in the war.

The Mingxu Upheaval, however, occurred five years ago.

The Mingxu Star Realm fell into turmoil when a portal connected to the Immortal Ruins Civilization emerged, followed by the elevation of major star realm entrances to Third Level... This sparked a Star Realm territory war.

"Mingxu Upheaval."

"Fortunately, back then, you left behind numerous Soaring Sky Peak Puppets along with Lanyue and Alicia, this group of top-tier talents, to join the battle. It was thanks to their efforts that we managed to hold the line." The San Ye Semi Divine said with emotion.

Five years ago, Lin Lanyue was still in the Flying Heaven Realm.

Now, she had broken through, while Alicia remained at the Flying Heaven Realm level.

"Yes, and the group from Yu Jinghe’s generation has also matured." Li Yuan nodded lightly. "Alicia’s progress is also quite swift."

Li Yuan had already learned that the most dazzling figures in the Flying Heaven Realm within the Seven Star Civilization now were Yu Jinghe and Alicia.

Meanwhile, friends like Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang had mostly reached the Flying Heaven Realm themselves.

Time flows like water; each generation matures in its turn.

"The Kunlun War relied on the Pseudo-God Puppet left behind by your teacher to deter the Immortal Ruins Civilization." Fang Hai said grimly, "As for holding the Mingxu Star Realm, it was fundamentally due to the support of that God Level Civilization Mothership..."

Li Yuan’s heart stirred—was it the assistance from the Heavenly Serpent Clan’s mothership?

That must be it!

With the Immortal Ruins Civilization’s terrifying power, invading a Third Level Star Realm would have been effortlessly simple—beyond the Seven Star Civilization’s capacity to resist.

"Xue Yan is dead too?" Li Yuan asked.

When he left, he had entrusted three servants who could verify his life-or-death status.

"He died the earliest. The exact cause of his death remains unknown to us." Fang Hai shook his head. "Perhaps he perished during some venture into the unknown."

"Hmm." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

The path of cultivation is just like this—there are countless means for things to fail.

No one could have anticipated that amid these short decades, Blue Star would face such immense turmoil, claiming the lives of Sang Qiu Semi Divine and the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor in succession.

"Li Yuan, I can sense that in these ten-plus years, your strength has significantly progressed, but you must be cautious." Fang Hai warned solemnly. "I understand your sentiment toward the Lie Feng Semi Divine... but if you wish to rescue him, you must plan thoroughly."
