In the 7820th year of the Blue Star lunar calendar,
the time interval between the invasion and retreat of the Blue Star Buddhist cultivators was actually very short, just a few days, but the battles in these few days brought unprecedented damage to Blue Star, which may be more than the sum of all the war damage on Blue Star in the past thousands of years. In
the first week after the war stopped, the volcanoes, fires and other disasters caused by the war on Blue Star were completely stopped. In the
second week, the army, cultivators, and official personnel from all over Blue Star began to go deep into the ruins to rescue people, although it was just a last-ditch effort. In the
third week, the order of Blue Star was initially stabilized, and China began to provide disaster relief, providing countless food, medicine, clothing and other resources. Before that, China saved itself.
A month later, China began to thoroughly count the casualties and began post-disaster reconstruction. No matter what, the lives of mortals must continue, and the social order must be maintained.
Three months later, Lin Jiang received a preliminary loss report, which showed that the battle on Blue Star had caused more than 4 billion casualties, and more than 500 million people were missing. They might have been buried under the ruins, or they might have been crushed by the aftermath of the battle.
Among them, the number of Chinese cultivators lost more than 30 million, especially at the beginning of the battle on Blue Star, when countless cultivators rushed to the battlefield, and most of them perished. The Psychic Research Institute, the Cultivation Academy, and the official personnel suffered heavy casualties. The number of cultivators above the Jindan level alone exceeded 500,000, almost wiping out the first-class population of Blue Star.
"The loss of masters has also been revealed. A total of 52 people above the level of Hedao (Demon King) have been lost on Blue Star. Only Li Qing and Zheng Yi are left on Yingzhou. The Queen of Demons has lost 26 people. On our side, Zhou Yuan and his men have all perished. Monk Kong Yan has taken away the remnants of the Cape III Star Field. Shi Yi and his men have suffered heavy losses. Shi Yi's body has been blown up..."
"Half of Blue Star's high-end combat power has been lost in this battle?"
"A little more than half. Many people have been injured. Many people's foundations have been damaged, including Lin Ying's,"
Cao Ying said while looking at Lin Jiang. When Lin Jiang heard Lin Ying's name, his face turned pale.
At that time, Lin Ying was hit by the Buddha statue. It was Lin Jiang's elixir that saved her life, but it failed to save Lin Ying's foundation. It is almost impossible for her to break through the Tribulation Period in this life.
"Where are the new generation of immortal cultivators?"
"Fifty percent of them were lost. Lin Liyan from your Lin family also had his body blown up. Only his soul was saved. Now he is trying to refine his body again. His journey has come to an end. Ning Li only has half of his body left. I don't know if he can recover..."
"More than a thousand years of accumulation, are they written off?" "
Almost. There are no more than sixty old brothers who survived the immortal cultivation era, and more than a hundred have died."
"Xiaoying, my heart hurts."
Lin Jiang was almost speechless. In this battle, who knows how many acquaintances have gone and will never come back.
"I know, don't be too sad."
Cao Ying stretched out her hand and hugged Lin Jiang's head. She understood Lin Jiang's current mood, and she also sympathized with Lin Jiang's feelings. She knew that what a man needed at this time was silent and unconditional support.
········
One year after the war, the data of losses in various aspects were constantly updated. The population lost by Blue Star due to this war exceeded 5 billion, because in this year, a large number of seriously injured soldiers died, and many mortals died due to diseases, hunger and other tortures in the war. Even the number of suicides exceeded 5 million. They could not accept the current situation. Most of them were loved ones who died in this war. They had no hope of survival and eventually committed suicide.
As for the property losses suffered, it is impossible to calculate. It must have exceeded 10 trillion Chinese yuan. It is unknown how long it will take for Blue Star to return to the pre-war level.
The consequences of this war are extremely tragic, but Lin Jiang and other senior executives, no matter how sad they are, still have to keep working and endure the pain to deal with various things.
"This is the news sent back by the space battleship. The Buddhist sect has not left, and their sea-crossing arks have been wandering in the starry sky. The space battleship has searched for battle opportunities several times, but the Buddhist sect has refused. They did not engage in combat with us and chose to retreat."
"I know the reason. The Buddhist sect is waiting for the Buddha seeds to erupt."
"Buddha seeds?"
"Yes, the secret technique that Kong Yan used in the end sprinkled countless Buddha seeds on Blue Star. We tried our best to stop it, but many Buddha seeds still fell."
"I can't understand it. Blue Star has lost more than one-tenth of its population for this. It's not an exaggeration to say that every household hangs white flags. Why do they think that the Buddha seeds can still take root and sprout, instead of taking a hostile attitude towards them?"
Cao Ying said that she didn't understand. Just like herself, tens of thousands of Xingzong disciples died in this battle, almost to the point of annihilation. She had only countless resentments towards Buddhism in her heart, so why would she still have a heart towards Buddhism?
"Human hearts are complicated. Facing the executioner who raised the butcher knife, some will be angry, some will be afraid, some will rise up to resist, and some will surrender. Buddhism is a master at playing with people's hearts. This is the magical power they are born with. Some people will think that this Blue Star hero was caused by their lack of good deeds, so some people will accept the theory of Buddhism. The power of Buddhism is probably about to take root and sprout."
"Well, what can we do?"
"Prevent problems in the bud. First, bite Buddhism to death in public opinion, list Buddha statues as heretics and terrorists, and then keep publicizing this war. Various war commemorations must keep up. In addition, those who have a heart for Buddhism must be completely resolved.
Of course, the most important point is to completely destroy Lingjing Star and let them know that the Buddhism they believe in is a pile of stinking dog shit..."
Lin Jiang said. Over the past year, Xia Qingshan has been repeating it in his ears countless times. He has already had a plan for the Buddha seed and is slowly implementing it.
"How do you view the situation on Blue Star in the future? There will be some changes after the war."
"I know. I have ordered relief to various countries. It is all free. The next batch of resources from Jiangxing will arrive soon. They will be distributed to them at that time. As for the future, we need to strengthen the role of the Blue Star Alliance. Above all countries, there must be an organization that can unite their voices."
"Do you want to turn Blue Star into a unified official?"
"It can't be done for the time being, but we can try. The war with the Buddhist sect will not end so soon. We must gather all the forces under the basket."
Lin Jiang said. In this battle, the Buddhist sect of Lingjing Star also suffered heavy losses. The number of Bodhisattvas and Arhats who died in the battle should be more than that of Blue Star. I don't know if it can be considered a heavy blow to them. However, Lingjing Star is just a small world of Buddhism, and Lingjing Star may have connections with the Buddhist sects in other small worlds. The war still has a long way to go.
Cao Ying nodded. She also knew these things. For a while, she didn't know how to say it. The direction of Blue Star's history has become weird since the recovery of spiritual energy. She can no longer predict the direction.

In the Huaxia Psychic Research Institute, Liang Long is presiding over a daily meeting. In this battle, the old dean died, and Cao Wang took over the position of chief dean, but Cao Wang was also seriously injured and is still recovering from his injuries in seclusion, so Liang Long was promoted to vice dean and is responsible for presiding over the daily affairs of the Psychic Research Institute.
The Psychic Research Institute also suffered heavy losses in this battle. The backbone research institute lost one-third, and many famous scientists died in the sky.
The laboratories and institutions of the Psychic Research Institute also lost more than half, and many equipment are extremely difficult to rebuild.
And the key point is that the resources of Blue Star are all in disaster relief and reconstruction, and the resources that can be given to them are 80% less than usual, so it is too difficult for them to recover.
"Now we will announce several technologies. The first one is the technology of extracting starch with carbon dioxide. Now the industrial losses of Blue Star have exceeded 50%. Blue Star has entered a state of food shortage. It will take more than 20 years to recover, so this technology is very critical..."
Liang Long kept talking about today's meeting. There are many technologies of the Psychic Energy Research Institute that have not been promoted because there are better alternatives. For example, this technology of converting starch with carbon dioxide has been available for a long time, but it has never been promoted or mass-produced. Now it is needed.
After arranging daily affairs, Liang Long dragged his tired body back to his own office and plunged into research work again.
Liang Long has always been a model worker of the Psychic Energy Research Institute. He is extremely involuted, and now he has always maintained his style.
"Huh"
Liang Long, who was working, suddenly raised his head and said "huh", then looked around. It was quiet all around.
Then Liang Long opened the formation of the office. When it was completely safe, he sank into his mind and his soul appeared in the sea of consciousness.
At this time, a miniature Buddha statue appeared in Liang Long's sea of consciousness, exuding the breath of Buddhism.
"Is this the Buddha seed?"
Liang Long knew about the Buddha seed, but he didn't know when he was infected. However, Liang Long was not afraid now, but curious. He was very curious about the world of Buddhist practitioners, such as various secret techniques, which were not available in the practice system of Blue Star.
