Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

Lu Sheng's mood was very heavy at the moment.

He couldn't help but recall the things he experienced on Celestial Profound Star.

"The territory of the Daoran Sect has become the Three Thousand Worlds of the Void Insect Race."

"Master Shangshan even said that we were expelled by them, abandoning the Celestial Profound Star."

"At the time, I couldn't understand why they would abandon a Life Planet, but now it seems... these powerful beings, in just a few words, have placed the lives of ordinary people on those planets as stakes in a gamble."

"How desperate those abandoned ordinary people must be."

Lu Sheng spoke softly, but his expression was extremely complex.

"Although this is the first time I've encountered such a thing, I imagine it's not the first time it has happened in the Human Federation. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for so many planets in the Three Thousand Worlds to be inhabited by humans."

Looking around the cosmic void, Lu Sheng felt an inexplicable frustration building up inside him, unable to be vented.

This feeling... made Lu Sheng very stifled.

"Is this what they call the greater good... but why has such a greater good never appeared in our Star River Star System?"

Lu Sheng couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

His gaze toward the Forging Star System became more and more complex.

Only because Lu Sheng had spent decades in the Star River Star System, and had never heard of using such a childish gamble to cede territory in battles with the Blood Bone Race.

Perhaps some high-ranking officials in the Star River Star System also had such thoughts, but such thoughts... would never be agreed to by Emperor Bai.

As a result, on the frontlines of the Star River Star System, one could only see top Martial Artists fending off cosmic alien races, and even the ordinary people living on frontline Life Planets living their lives in peace.

Perhaps... sometimes there would be failures, but the Star River Star System would always dispatch powerful beings to reclaim those Life Planets at the first opportunity.

Lu Sheng couldn't help but recall the history of the entire Human Federation.

This childish method of ceding territories was incessant, only gradually decreasing after Emperor Bai became a Galactic Life Form.

Because... only Emperor Bai would treat those ordinary people and low-level Transcendents as human beings!

Whereas in the Forging Star System, and in the Daoran Star System, and among the Lord of Ascension and the Immortal factions... it seemed they never cared about the lives of those ordinary people and low-level Transcendents.

To them, these people were nothing more than disposable pawns in their eyes.

Lu Sheng fell silent, and couldn't help but look at Mo Chou, Yang Bufan, and Hua Long beside him.

Mo Chou's face was full of anger. As a sixth-level strongman of the Steel Factions in the Star River Star System, he was equally furious and unwilling about such things, just like Lu Sheng.

"Gamble? Does your Ascension Factions' high-level authority not care about those ordinary people and low-level Transcendents?"

Mo Chou roared at Luo Cheng, but Luo Cheng only looked back at him calmly.

Hua Long and Yang Bufan, on the other hand, shook their heads: "What a pity. Ceding territory, the Forging Star System will probably lose a lot of resources this time."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Sheng couldn't help but frown, his heart filling with a trace of disgust for Hua Long and Yang Bufan.

"These two guys... do they think that those ordinary people and low-level Transcendents are worth less than some resources?"

Lu Sheng felt puzzled in his heart. This was a difference in perspective.

Lu Sheng couldn't help but look toward Luo Cheng, who had already switched from a space weapon to an ordinary mechanical body, but his eyes were still calm.

"Do you also think your Ascension Factions' decision is correct?"

Luo Cheng glanced at Lu Sheng and said faintly: "This is all for the greater good! This plan was decided by the high-level authorities of our Ascension Factions, and I naturally agree."

"Even though... my homeland is within the area of this gamble, for the greater good of the entire Ascension Factions... everything is correct!"

Luo Cheng's words made Lu Sheng's heart feel a chill.

He couldn't help but exchange a glance with Mo Chou, and each could see the meaning in the other's eyes.

"Sigh!"

Lu Sheng sighed deeply.

"Now I understand why Star River University only enrolls Martial Artists. The Mechanical Modifier System gradually sheds flesh, the transformation causes them to lose their emotions, just like Insect Immortals."

"And under the Cultivator System, with longevity, human emotions gradually fade away over time."

"Under these two systems... the stronger they get, the less they resemble 'humans'!"

Lu Sheng's eyes were extremely complex, but he felt helpless about it all.

He suddenly recalled the time he spent in the Martial Arts Class when everyone was clearly Transcendents, but Martial Artists were still looked down upon by Mechanical Transformers and Cultivators.

At that time, Lu Sheng always thought it was because Martial Artists were too weak in front of Mechanical Transformers and Cultivators below the fourth level.

But now it seems...

It seems that from the moment they became Mechanical Transformers and Cultivators, they no longer considered others as their kind.

"Becoming a Mechanical Transformer requires a lot of financial support, and also a huge Spiritual Power talent, while Cultivators need to have Spirit Roots to become Cultivators."
