“Haha, Fang Hai, rest assured,”
“We definitely won’t shortchange him.”
“As long as we can ultimately seize control of the World within Worlds and confirm the value of the stone chamber, we naturally won’t skimp on his reward.” The other demigods and Star Masters all laughed.
“Right.”
“A friend of mine in the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom… has sent me a message. Mintian Hou is probably looking to go to war; he has already mobilized quite a bit of force into the Fierce Feather Star Realm,” a demigod suddenly spoke up.
As demigods standing at the pinnacle of civilization, they had longer lifespans, allowing them to venture to various Star Realms and into mysterious places.
Having friends from Foreign Civilizations was quite normal for them.
“Full-scale war?”
“Just Mintian Hou? Does he even qualify?”
“Then let’s fight!”
“This relic of the gods, only the tip of the iceberg is revealed. First, the demigod of Flame City obtained the ‘Semi Divine Bloodline’, then Li Yuan discovered a treasure like the ‘Divine Crystal chamber’… If we could swallow the entire treasure of the relic, I can’t even imagine how great our harvest would be.”
“Fight! If Mintian Hou wants to fight, we’ll accompany him in battle,” many demigods and Star Masters voiced in agreement.
Seven Star Civilization stands among many, with centuries of relentless warfare. Almost all demigods and Star Masters have lived through countless bloody battles.
“Flame City demigod, you have no objections, right?”
“Haha, what objections could I have? I’ve said long ago that everything regarding this World within Worlds… is handed over to the Alliance, and I have no complaints,” the sole ancestral demigod of the Blazing Flame Family, ‘Flame City demigod’ said.
“Good.”
“We will dispatch another five thousand First Rank Martial Artists to the World within Worlds for repeated inquiry, and also, tell Lude Nef to prepare for battle,” a demigod of very high status gave the final command.
Lude Nef.
The Seven Star Civilization’s premier Prime Warrior!
…
Fierce Feather Star Realm, War Fortress.
Inside a massive conference room.
“Lude Nef is getting ready to come,” Wu Manong spoke in a soft voice: “The upper echelons have received accurate information, the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom is preparing for full-scale war… The Alliance high command is preparing to send a substantial force in response.”
“Full-scale war?”
“Is a full-blown war about to erupt?” Yan Yun Fox and Yanjun Ling were both somewhat surprised when they received this news.
“Lude Nef?”
“That freak is coming too?” Tavares and Abbott were equally shocked.
Their points of concern differed.
“Lude Nef?” Yu Jinghe’s eyes flickered with a flash of light; he instantly remembered the sparring session with the other party from several years ago where he suffered a crushing defeat.
Now, several years later, Yu Jinghe considered himself to have grown much stronger, but still had no confidence in being able to win against the other party.
…
Li Yuan, whose report had stirred the high ranks of civilization, was not aware of his impact.
After leaving the mysterious stone chamber.
Without any delay, Li Yuan had already hurried to the most central remnants of the Divine Palace within the World within Worlds.
Xiong Ze and Kross had been guarding the periphery of the Divine Palace remnants with more than twenty other Prime Warriors.
They were concerned about powerful beings from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom sneaking into the Divine Palace remnants.
Upon arriving at the outskirts of the Divine Palace remnants, Li Yuan waited for about an hour before two figures finally appeared in his sight.
“Alicia, Si Feng,” Li Yuan greeted the ‘latecomers’ with a smile: “How did it go?”
Alicia and Si Feng looked at each other and both nodded their heads.
“Li Yuan, we have confirmed as per your message and directly reached that valley’s stone chamber,” Si Feng said excitedly: “We didn’t encounter any more obstructions along the way. Those black exotic beasts you mentioned did not launch any more attacks.”
“That’s good,” Li Yuan responded with a nod.
After passing the message of the stone chamber to Wu Manong, Li Yuan also directly informed Alicia and Si Feng.
Because both of them were members of the Starfire Martial Hall, they naturally earned Li Yuan’s trust more.
The reason for telling them.
Was to let them try, once they descended to the bottom of the valley, whether they would still come under attack from the black exotic beasts… The outcome was ideal, perhaps because the leader of those exotic beasts had been killed by Li Yuan.
Following Li Yuan’s guidance, Si Feng and Alicia both arrived at the Divine Crystal chamber with ease, without encountering any attacks.
“I have sent the test results back to the war base,” Alicia also said: “We just can’t confirm whether the Divine Crystal Energy inside the stone chamber is renewable.”
“Tong Guan and the others don’t have the instruments capable of testing that,” Alicia added.
“No matter, the higher-ups will probably arrange for it,” Li Yuan said: “We’ve done what we need to do; the rest is out of our hands.”
“Mm,” Alicia nodded in agreement.
She understood Li Yuan’s meaning… whether it was large-scale inquiry into the World within Worlds or testing the stone chamber, it wasn’t something a few martial geniuses could accomplish.
It would require the mobilization of an entire civilization’s power to achieve.
Individual martial strength was formidable, capable of fighting a hundred or even a thousand in direct combat… but in many other supportive tasks, one person could hardly manage everything.
“Stone chamber?”
“What’s that?” Xiong Ze and Kross were clueless, not understanding a word.
“Don’t rush.”
“We’ll let you know when we get the message from above,” Li Yuan said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the four people: “Alright, everything is in order, since the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom hasn’t dispatched any top geniuses for so long, they likely won’t send any more for a while.”
“I have decided to enter the Divine Palace remnants right away.” Li Yuan pointed towards the distance.
“So soon?”
“Don’t you want to wait a bit longer? Should we send a few Prime Warriors to explore first?” Alicia and Si Feng were both quite surprised.
“We already have information from the Blazing Flame Family.”
“Sending more Prime Warriors for a test run wouldn’t be very meaningful, and it might even result in greater losses,” Li Yuan shook his head.
