Chapter 144: Xianyuan City Online

In the Xianyuan City on the holographic network, countless people are gathering here, bringing the otherworldly fairyland into the bustle of the mundane world.

This fairy-like city corresponds to the real world of cultivation, and is the initial site for flower-growing cultivators to log into the holographic network.

After the first batch of students at Xunzhen Academy had basically broken through the Jindan stage, Dragon King stepped forward and specially allocated a planet to accommodate this group of cultivators. In order to recreate the scenery of ancient times, this planet was specially arranged to look like an ancient one. It not only has various antique buildings, but also countless unique landscapes of the world of cultivation.

In order to make room for the development of other humans, all creatures on the blue planet, as long as they reach a certain level, will be transferred to the corresponding planet.

The cultivators who grow flowers, demon cultivators, etc. go to the planet named the world of cultivation. Western magicians, witches, vampires, etc. also have their own corresponding planets. After they reach a certain level, someone will naturally come to guide them.

For everyone's convenience, each country has also specially arranged cities corresponding to the planets on the holographic network. The virtual world has no scope restrictions. Each city is almost as big as a country. If users want to go to other places, they can only do so through teleportation. Walking does not exist here.

Because of the deep-rooted desire to cultivate immortality, countless flower growers who still remain on the Blue Star will directly change their initial login location to Xianyuan City. Although my chances of becoming an immortal are slim, what if I encounter some unexpected opportunity here?

There are countless high-level cultivators coming and going in Xianyuan City.

They didn't expect that powerful beings like Long Jun and Bai Zhi would be interested in them. If they could meet Chu Yi, Gu Jiayan and others and catch their eyes, they would be very lucky and should go back to thank their ancestors.

As a globally recognized genius on Blue Star, after nearly a hundred years of dedicated practice, Chu Yi is now a high-level cultivator in the middle stage of the Cave Void Realm. Her brother Gu Jiayan is not much behind, and is now also a cultivator in the early stage of fusion. Among the new generation of people with special abilities known as the Galactic Civilization, he is one of the best.

Moreover, both of them are all-round geniuses with comprehensive development in all aspects. They are first-class experts in alchemy, refining weapons, and making talismans and formations. Nowadays, the top rankings and records in various cultivation rankings were created by the two siblings, and because their talents were so amazing, some of the records might not be broken for hundreds of years.

In fact, many people said that it would be difficult to break this record even in a thousand years, let alone hundreds of years.

As everyone's understanding of the cultivation civilization gradually deepens, coupled with the personal experience of many new generation cultivators, everyone who grows flowers knows clearly that cultivation is not as simple as imagined. There has never been a shortage of geniuses in the world, but no genius can grow from a mortal to a cultivator in the Cave Void Stage within a hundred years.

Even the vocational education teachers at Xunzhen College have repeatedly lamented that if Chu Yi and Gu Jiayan were born in ancient times, they would either be targeted by the people of the world or be sought after by them.

When a genius reaches this level, he is like a demon.

Fortunately, modern people are very open-minded. As long as they are not extremely vicious or have distorted values, such geniuses will only be sought after and will not be targeted at all.

In addition, according to the tradition of the cultivation world, when a cultivator advances to the Jindan stage or above, he is qualified to accept disciples and preach. After crossing the threshold of the Yuanying stage, he can even establish a sect. Therefore, Chu Yi and other students from the elite class of Xunzhen Academy are now the most popular candidates for becoming apprentices.

There are countless idle mortals waiting in this Xianyuan City every day, hoping to accidentally run into a high-level cultivator from the elite class and experience a classic plot from a fantasy novel.

Unfortunately, after their cultivation improved, Chu Yi and the others are no longer as free as before.

In order to deal with the cosmic crisis, both the flower-growing monks and foreign people with special abilities have been busy for a long time. Several decades ago, it was no longer a secret that the Blue Planet would enter the stage of cosmic civilization, and even some noteworthy alien civilizations were no longer a secret.

People with special abilities have already obtained relatively specific intelligence through various means, and this intelligence was released by the country at the first possible moment, ensuring that all living beings on Blue Planet are adequately prepared.

As the first combat echelon under the gods, the pressure on Chu Yi and others can be imagined.

If it weren't for the monks' strong ability to withstand stress, with the intensity of their daily training, everyone would have become depressed long ago.

Therefore, they have no time to wander around. Even if they come to the holographic network, they go directly to various training grounds for combat training.

There is no chance of the kind of chance encounter in novels happening.

But today is different. Today is the day when the galactic civilization officially announces itself to the universe. Its importance is comparable to the New Year's day for planting flowers. At such an important moment, Chu Yi and others who had been busy preparing for decades finally had a rare holiday and came to the holographic network to watch the grand occasion.

In order to avoid causing a sensation, Chu Yi and others changed their appearance to blend in with the crowd.

The elite class leaders, now with a new look, were sitting in a teahouse, drinking tea and listening to other people bragging and chatting.

"If you ask me, we should just kill Kil'jaeden directly." The man who spoke so arrogantly had a strong and powerful appearance, and was obviously a martial artist from the mortal world. Generally, they have the strongest desire to fight and often make similar remarks.

"Since we've become enemies now, let's just go all out and eradicate the problem once and for all."

"...What nonsense are you talking about, you reckless man?" Someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore and half turned around and said in a mocking tone: "Kil'jaeden is the super overlord of the universe with 4,000 planets with life and 2,300 planets with civilizations. His territory directly spans 13 star systems."

"Our galactic civilization only has 15 planets with life, and not all of them are inhabited by humans. Most of them are aliens, and it's unclear whether they will help humans. The saints and gods have the ability to destroy Kil'jaeden, but how? Are they going to destroy all those trillions of lives directly?"

Without taking a breath, he threw out a bunch of insults, and glanced at the martial artist with disdain from the corner of his eye, "Your body is full of muscles, and your brain is full of muscles too? How dare you say that you killed so many lives directly? If I hadn't seen that you looked like a human, I would have thought you were a demon."

Not all flower growers are militant. People living in peacetime will not suddenly turn into murderous criminals even after decades of combat training. Moreover, even if they are militant, they would not directly say something as cruel as wiping out an entire civilization.

When the war escalates to that between cosmic civilizations, the number of casualties cannot be described by ordinary numbers.

Taking Blue Planet as an example, the population of one of their planets is about 7.8 billion, while Kil'jaeden owns 2,300 civilized planets, which means 2,300 planets with intelligent life forms. Assuming that each planet has the same population, 2300 times 7.8 billion, that would be 17 trillion lives, or 17 trillion.

17 trillion, how deep is that sin?

So the words of the muscular man cannot be explained by the fact that he is stupid. We can only say that he is bad, bad to the core.

Maybe he really didn't think so much when he said this, but even if you just think about it for a moment, you can understand the cruelty of this sentence. So how could he so calmly say that he wanted the saints to destroy a civilization?

Obviously, the only one without a brain was the muscular man. Everyone else in the teahouse could understand the horror of it.

The galactic civilization is just bluffing. Whether it can gain a foothold in this strange universe depends entirely on its development at this stage. At such an urgent moment, everyone is hoping that nothing will go wrong and that no unnecessary complications will arise, yet there are still people who say such things.

Don't say that they were just using Kil'jaeden to establish their authority and had no intention of standing completely against him. Even if the galactic civilization really had an irreconcilable feud with Kil'jaeden today, they would not be able to start a war directly at this juncture.

Being stared at with contempt and strange eyes by everyone, the muscular man who spoke first became flustered and his face turned purple.

He really spoke without thinking. What he said just now was just a way to vent his anger. He didn't expect that it would cause a siege. Feeling the growing hostility around him, he couldn't help but open his mouth to explain, "That's not what I meant. I just want us to gain a firm foothold in this universe..."

Unfortunately, it seems a little too late to explain now, and no one wants to continue to pay attention to him. Faced with his feeble and feeble explanation, no one even bothered to look at him, instead they looked away and started discussing new topics.

"I don't know what the saints are planning. Although we certainly can't let those aliens come directly to Blue Planet for negotiations, it's not a good idea to set the meeting place on a deserted planet. Wouldn't it make us seem too ignorant of etiquette?"

The guest's statement elicited nods of agreement from the people around him, and it was obvious that everyone had the same idea.

Thanks to Xihe’s notification, not only the life forms in another universe but also the indigenous people of the galactic civilization itself were puzzled about the arrangement of this negotiation meeting.

It is normal not to allow those civilizations with unknown intentions to enter one's own territory, but it is a bit puzzling that even this galaxy cannot be approached. With the abilities of the great gods, it is easy to protect the secrets of the galactic civilization. No matter how many top space battleships come, it is absolutely impossible to break through the blockade of the saints.

It’s not that everyone is really so hospitable, they just simply have doubts.

"Perhaps the saints want to give the other party a more direct warning." Chu Yi, who had been listening to a group of people discussing silently for a while, finally couldn't help but speak up and join their conversation.

Her idea is really simple. There is no messy conspiracy theory at all. She just wants to pretend to be cool.

Although the just-concluded battle between Xihe and Jinwu over space battleships was very shocking, the effect has not yet reached its best. What Chu Yi wants is to make countless civilizations kneel down and surrender completely to their galactic civilization.

She had finally developed Blue Planet into a Level 4 civilization, so how could she not show off?

After signing an alliance with various civilizations in the universe, it will certainly not be possible to start a war easily. The galactic civilization needs time to develop. Level 4 civilization is still too low. The lowest level in that universe is 5, and there is no level 4.

After opening up the situation with the help of super high-star vests such as Xihe, Nuwa, and the Goddess of Life, the last thing the galactic civilization can do is to provoke a war. If possible, even small conflicts should be avoided.

The destruction of Kil'jaeden's spaceships and border stars this time was a forced choice. They needed to establish their authority and make other civilizations realize that the galactic civilization should not be easily provoked, and then they could treat each other with courtesy.

Moreover, Chu Yi made this decision after careful consideration. Although it seemed cruel to directly destroy a planet, the number of troops stationed on that border planet was actually not large. Kil'jaeden is a level 6 peak civilization after all, it is impossible that it still needs so many real soldiers to garrison the planet.

Only insignificant border areas would numerous living troops be sent there. In a direction like Blue Star, there were no other civilizations or life planets at all, so Kil'jaeden only sent a few hundred people there as a token of his appreciation.

Including the supreme commander, there are actually only about 300 to 400 life forms on the planet.

The rest are all mecha warriors, the kind controlled and operated by artificial intelligence.

Therefore, this incident is actually not as serious as everyone imagines, and Kil'jaeden will not regard the Galactic Civilization as a mortal enemy because of this. As for not sending an invitation to Kil'jaeden, this was actually a misunderstanding.

When sending the invitation, Chu Yi did not bring Kil'jaeden.

They had just confronted each other, and it seemed not a good idea to turn around and send an invitation as if nothing had happened. It would also greatly reduce the effectiveness of this demonstration. However, it was obvious that the other party would not just leave it like that. After Xihe's dragon messenger returned to the Milky Way galaxy, Anastasia immediately received a communication request from Kil'jaeden.

After some negotiations, Kil'jaeden successfully "reconciled" with the galactic civilization and successfully obtained an invitation to the talks.

Since neither side wants to face the worst-case scenario, Xihe's actions are nothing.

Of course, when the two civilizations fall out in the future, this incident will be the most direct fuse.

But who knows what the situation in the universe will be like by then? Maybe all the civilizations in the universe will unite to target Kil'jaeden. After all, they are so unpopular.

I have gone off topic. Right now, Chu Yi just wants to explain her thoughts to everyone. She doesn't want to see some nonsensical speculations on the Internet that make her seem dark.

"Just like the saints and gods built homes for the various races on the blue planet, with just a wave of their hands and a gust of air, a desolate planet has become a very habitable planet. Isn't such a scene more shocking than destruction?"

Even though she was the owner of all the vests and was well aware of their abilities and had been mentally prepared, she was still shocked to the point of being speechless and even had tears in her eyes when she saw that scene.

In fact, Chu Yi himself didn’t know why he was so moved at that time. Like countless of his compatriots, everyone just watched the planets covered with green and life appear on them, and then burst into tears.

I remember that this event also enabled countless people with special abilities to break through their realms, and the growth of Blue Star’s high-end combat power reached a peak at that moment.

Putting myself in their shoes, they reacted so strongly after watching it. Aliens who have never seen the means of mythological civilization would definitely be shocked beyond words if they suddenly saw this grand scene.

Not only can it provide the galactic civilization with a convenient place to connect with the outside world, but it can also intimidate its opponents and make them more afraid of the galactic civilization.

Why not do something that can kill two birds with one stone?

"......"

It seems... that's the truth?

After hearing what the strange monk Chu Yi said, the teahouse fell silent for a moment. Everyone thought about this statement carefully and found that it seemed to be the most likely one.

According to the information they collected behind the scenes, even in the interstellar age, saving a barren planet is not an easy task.

Not only the environment of the planet itself but also the environment of the surrounding galaxies must be considered comprehensively. If any of the requirements are not met, there is no chance of saving the planet.

There are indeed many convenient means in the interstellar age, and it is easy to promote the growth of plants, condense water resources, and improve the environment. But they are also unable to give birth to life on a planet that is completely inconsistent with the rules for the development of life.

The nurturing of life does not only require plants and water, there are countless aspects that need to be considered.

Only a mythical civilization like Blue Star, relying on the power of the creator god, can do this easily.

Speaking of this, Chu Yi was particularly grateful to the Lord God.

If he hadn't been so merciful and set the redemption requirements for super high-star vests such as Nuwa and the Goddess of Life not too high, and only required the civilization level to be upgraded to the intermediate level to unlock them, Chu Yi really wouldn't have been able to successfully plan the current situation.

Not only that, the Lord God was merciful enough to allow her to buy on credit, allowing her to get the suit while owing points.

If Chu Yi had not written an IOU to the system and exchanged the six supreme rule gods, namely Nuwa, Xihe, Di Jun, the Goddess of Life, the God of Destiny, and the God of Time, the appearance of Blue Star this time would never have been so shocking.

Galactic Civilization wouldn’t have had such a good start.

Unfortunately, behind such great things, there are often huge traps.

The benefit given by the Lord God is indeed great, but it is not without other conditions. In addition to paying off the owed points within the specified time, Chu Yi also needs to complete additional penalty tasks within the specified time.

Within one thousand years, the galactic civilization must be upgraded to an advanced level. If this is not accomplished, the laws will take action to wipe out the entire civilization.

Don’t you think it’s nothing? A thousand years is enough, and Chu Yi can turn Blue Star into a galactic civilization within another hundred years, so it should be very easy to complete this task.

If you really think so, you are wrong, absolutely wrong, extremely wrong.

It is not particularly difficult to upgrade a primary civilization to an intermediate civilization. In fact, as long as it does not encounter any super natural disasters such as cosmic storms in the middle, ordinary civilizations can naturally develop to the interstellar civilization stage over time.

This is the case with most civilizations within the Quessar Alliance.

To develop from an intermediate civilization to an advanced civilization requires not only time, but also great opportunity.

This is something that tests the overall fortune of civilization. Many times, your hardware conditions may have been met, and you only need the final push to reach the key point required for a breakthrough. As long as you cross that point, you can upgrade smoothly. But it is often the final step, and if there is no opportunity, it will be impossible to make it.

Didn’t you see that Kil’jaeden worked hard for tens of thousands of years, but he only reached the peak of level 6 from level 6, and he could never cross the step of level 7.

Therefore, Chu Yi's mission can be regarded as directly opening the purgatory mode. If he is not careful, he will lose everything.
