Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

All around, silence.

"Blockade!"

"Immediately block the news..."

Someone growled, surely an old cultivator who had been through countless life-and-death battles, cold and ruthless, the kind of citizen who would sacrifice their own life for victory.

Many Xianmen Sect experts' expressions changed at the same time.

Over a trillion Immortal Sect citizens with the divine soul aura of the Ancient God Ancestor Master are still alive, why are they alive? Is this a question that's difficult to speculate?

There must be a purpose.

What purpose?

A terrifying Heavenly Man, will it again revive from these citizens' divine souls, from the current version of the Central Array Spirit Computer, and once more become as terrifying as today?

All kinds of speculation made one's spine chill.

By that time, would the Great Sun Sword Master have recovered?

Could the Great Sun Sword Master once again suppress the remnants of the Heavenly Man they had indulged and released?

Many Xianmen Sect experts' minds spun quickly, with a slight push of the divine soul, immediately seeing such a terrible truth, a terrible truth enough to completely obliterate the Xianmen Sect.

They locked down the news instantly, and had already accomplished it.

Many Immortal Sect experts understood the big picture, even if feeling guilty in their hearts, reluctant, yet still notifying no one.

However, Immortal Sect experts could block the news, but the enemy can also inform.

"My father is still alive?"

"The Central Array Spirit Computer has protected my daughters?"

"Hahaha... hahaha... my mother is still alive... hahaha... still alive..."

The entire Central Army Group Fleet boiled instantly, shouting huzzah, many fathers and sons hearing their relatives are still alive, overwhelmingly excited.

Immortal Sect experts exchanged glances.

Many sighed deeply, silently closing their eyes.

At this moment, some Refining Nothingness experts, even if willing to sacrifice their own children, were no longer of any use, as no one would support them, and no one could stop these citizens' resolute determination to save their relatives.

Whoever obstructs it, becomes an undying enemy!

"This matter, I can undertake it."

"I will bear all consequences."

The Sun Destroying True Venerable looked back at everyone, said coldly, "I will bear the infamy of eternity, once accomplished, let me be cut to pieces, suffer tormentions for billions of years to calm the public anger."

"Don't hesitate, just do it."

"This..."

The Immortal Sect experts around hesitated.

They hesitated, yet never opposed the necessity of this matter from the beginning to the end.

The remnants of the Heavenly Man will revive again!

How terrifying is this?

This is something that can utterly obliterate the Xianmen Sect!

Knowing clearly that it's a terrible trap, a future enough to swallow the Xianmen Sect, should they still step into it with eyes wide open?

What wrongs has the Sun Destroying True Venerable done?

Many soldiers yearning for their relatives, cheering, laughing aloud, is that wrong?

Many Immortal Sect experts remained silent for a long time.

"Yuan,"

"You make the decision."

The Sun Destroying True Venerable coldly said, "As the leader of the Xianmen Sect, being in the position assumes the responsibility, glory belongs to you, shadows and filth should belong to you as well."

"You cannot sacrifice."

"Your existence has indispensable roles inside and outside the sect, internally balancing the Great Sun Sword Master, externally commanding the citizen fleet. You cannot sacrifice, leave this matter to me."

"..."

Yuan remained silent.

"Just make it clear!"

"Damn it, stop dithering!"

The Sun Destroying True Venerable cursed vehemently.

All around, many Immortal Sect soldiers were already eager to see their relatives, as further delay would be too late.

"I..."

Yuan spoke slowly.

"I need to consult with the Great Sun Participating and ask for his opinion."

"Only then can I make a decision."

He adopted a delaying strategy, causing more furious curses from the Sun Destroying True Venerable, yet no longer speaking, clearly determined in his heart, unchangeable.

He chose to reveal the truth to the Immortal Sect citizens, explain what happened, instead of concealing and suppressing.

...

Gradually, a thousand years passed.

The Mother Star of the Xianmen Sect has resumed normalcy, various industrial parks were rebuilt, the moon recovered its original size, the ecological system of the shattered Blue Star and surrounding planets has restored, with citizens commuting, studying, working, and playing on them.

The smoke of war has dissipated.

The Immortal Sect citizens born during these years have regarded the war from a thousand years ago as history, just like many inspiring stories in history, and no longer consider it an imminent threat.

Today, many Xianmen Sect delegates came to the highest healing secret realm on the Mother Star, occasionally casting a glance toward its center.

There, within numerous precious seventh-rank Taiyi Green Wood Life Essence, a dark golden Flying Sword floated quietly.

Compared to a thousand years ago, his condition has improved significantly, the Flying Sword's Spiritual Light has recovered, its aura is compelling, but the Law Body hasn't recovered yet, seemingly still nurturing and growing.

A thousand years of time are still too brief for injuries at the Quasi Heavenly Stage.

Yet today, the Immortal Sect delegates have no choice but to wake him in advance because they have some very important matters to seek his opinion on.

After an unknown amount of time, the Flying Sword trembled slightly, releasing a terrifying destructive and scorching pressure in all directions, making even the Harmonization God Monarch involuntarily tremble, let alone the Refining Nothingness Cultivators, their minds were blank, life and death not in their hands, akin to sheep ready for slaughter.

"Terrifying..."

Canghai True Venerable gasped.

The Central Array Spirit Computer has still not restarted.

This means the Central Array Spirit Computer isn't entirely reliable and can't closely participate in many Immortal Sect's research and security work, causing him to face the pressure of high-level cultivators even on the Mother Star, unlike the leisurely days in the past.

"Do you think it feels like waiting for the Sect Ancestor to revive?"

Wanji True Venerable quipped.

"Haha!"

"Indeed."

Everyone laughed, lightening the heavy mood somewhat.

After an unknown amount of time, upon the release of the destructive pressure, a barely discernible figure appeared on the Flying Sword, glanced at them, still half-asleep.

"What's the matter?"

"Is there something urgent, seniors?"

Jiang Ding yawned, spoke.

Now, he was like in infancy, exceptionally sleepy, minimizing spiritual energy consumption to restore his injuries as quickly as possible.

"There indeed is."

"Please take a look and give your opinion."

Yuan knew time is precious, he immediately transmitted the intel relating to those trillion citizens, including the changes that have occurred over nearly a thousand years.

Those trillion citizens were still asleep within the Central Array Spirit Computer, with no alteration, not having died of old age.

Clearly, the Ancient God Ancestor Master possesses more advanced slumber techniques than the Xianmen Sect.

"Hostages, huh?"

"This old coot is certainly unprincipled, well, magic cultivators have always been so despicable and shameless, resorting to all means."

Jiang Ding murmured as he finished reading the document.

Immortal Sect cultivators around blackened their faces.

"Seniors, my opinion is."

"The trillion citizens must be rescued, even if it's dangerous."

Jiang Ding showed a serious demeanor, fulfilling his obligation as a delegate, providing his perspective: "This is the decision made by most citizens, and thus we ought to act accordingly, no matter how dangerous the future might be."

"The citizens' regime is our powerful foundation."

"This will never change."

"The so-called machinations, obscuration, suppression, these theories are temporary, unable to pave a future path to ascension but merely short-sighted actions."

"Our path, the path of the citizens, is such."

"No matter the thorns, no matter the hardships and obstacles, we must press forward."

"Besides,"

Jiang Ding said coldly: "Seniors, no need to fret."

"Merely a bones-in-tomb, once I can beat it, I can defeat it ten times, a hundred times, a million times! It's for certain as I stand in the middle of the entire Xianmen Sect, inherently possessing higher potential than him."

"Time belongs to the Xianmen Sect, belongs to us."

"What we need to focus on now isn't this remnants' soul, when my injuries heal, I'll deal with it. Our focus should be on the Black Mist Star Sea, where there might exist more bodies of the Ancient God Ancestor Master, and that suspected 'Ancient God' arm..."

Jiang Ding provided his insights.

Everyone somehow felt reassured.

"Alright,"

"I understand."

Yuan said solemnly.

Jiang Ding nodded, the Sword Soul once again merged into the Flying Sword, entering deeper slumber and healing.
