Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

Liu Yao's talent is unquestionable.

She broke through to Tier Six within a hundred years.

After hiding her abilities for many years, she transcended the Three Tribulations in a single day, defeating two Tier Seven Cosmic Lives, and attained Tier Seven herself.

She has become a current mentor of the Life Factions.

Although Liu Yao has not been at Tier Seven for very long, the fact that she dares to speak up indicates that, like Lu Sheng, she has a certain level of confidence to influence the direction of the Tier Seven Battlefield!

The two of them… are not the type to speak recklessly.

Liu Yao said to Lu Sheng, "With you at Tier Six, I am reassured, and with me at Tier Seven, there's not much to worry about."

"As for Tier Eight..."

Liu Yao pondered for a while, "Recently, there has been a Tier Eight prodigy from the Ascension Factions. They should not find it too difficult to deal with the Void Insect Race and have a good chance of defeating them!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.

A Tier Eight prodigy from the Ascension Factions?

This was something Lu Sheng wasn't aware of, but judging by Liu Yao's tone, someone who she describes as a prodigy clearly possesses some remarkable abilities.

"In that case... we have a good chance of victory in all three battlefields!"

Lu Sheng smiled slightly. In the duel against the Devouring Realm Empress, where five battlefields would determine the territories the Ascension Factions would have to cede, winning three out of five would at least secure a large portion of territory for the Ascension Factions.

In this way... at least a trillion lives could be saved!

"As for the battles between Tier Nine and Galactic Life Forms..."

Liu Yao thought for a moment but couldn't help but shake her head.

"That depends on luck. Whether it's the Void Insect Race or the Ascension Factions reaching Tier Nine, they are both top-tier beings with no significant difference in combat power."

"And the fight between Galactic Life Forms is even more troublesome. After all, the prominent figure of the Ascension Factions is still in deep slumber; we dare not awaken them and would have to rely on the Spirit of Illusion!"

Lu Sheng nodded when he heard this but did not harbor too much hope.

"When it comes to Galactic Life Forms, they generally do not act unless there are significant benefits. This is a contest between the Void Insect Race and the Ascension Factions, and the Spirit of Illusion's willingness to intervene is already commendable."

"Expecting the Spirit of Illusion to defeat the Devouring Realm Empress is unrealistic; this being would likely put in a half-hearted effort at best!"

Lu Sheng told himself this and couldn't help but shake his head.

"However, there is something I have always found puzzling!"

At this moment, Liu Yao's voice sounded again, and Lu Sheng turned to look at her.

Liu Yao's brows were furrowed with a hint of doubt: "Logically speaking, if the Devouring Realm Empress wanted to cause the Ascension Factions heavy losses, she would only need to duel three times, with Galactic Life Forms, Tier Nines, or even Tier Eights, ensuring the Ascension Factions suffer heavily."

"And given the Ascension Factions' disposition, they would agree even to three duels."

"But I can't fathom why this time, the Devouring Realm Empress proposed five duels, thus adding Tier Seven and Tier Six battlefields. Isn't that making it more difficult for the Void Insect Race?"

"Why do I feel like... the Devouring Realm Empress is subtly showing goodwill?"

Liu Yao voiced her doubts.

When Lu Sheng heard Liu Yao's words, he too was stunned.

The Devouring Realm Empress... showing goodwill?

To whom is she showing goodwill?

Could it be...

Lu Sheng thought of himself. After all, he had Tier Six cultivation, and his combat prowess had been witnessed by the Devouring Realm Empress during that dream on the Celestial Profound Star.

"Could it be... the addition of the Tier Six and Tier Seven battlefields is the Devouring Realm Empress showing goodwill towards me?"

"No, no, no..."

The moment this thought emerged, Lu Sheng immediately suppressed it.

"Emperor Bai said that the minds of Galactic Life Forms are extremely complex and should never be speculated upon with common reasoning..."

As Lu Sheng pondered, Liu Yao, seeing this, stopped the communication, and her figure dissipated, leaving Lu Sheng alone in the resting room to contemplate.

Lu Sheng attempted to inject a strand of his thoughts into the insect network imprint, but...

After waiting for a long time, the insect network imprint remained unresponsive, as if his voice had fallen into an abyss.

"The imprint... can only transmit messages one-way?"

"Only the Devouring Realm Empress can use this imprint to contact me?"

Lu Sheng looked at the imprint with no reply, and after pondering for a while, he calmed his mind.

"Whether the Devouring Realm Empress opened the Tier Six battlefield for me or not, I must secure victory in the Tier Six battlefield!"

For Lu Sheng, contacting the Devouring Realm Empress wasn't important; what was important was... to win this battle for the sake of a trillion lives!

After receiving the delivered resources, Lu Sheng sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Room and calmed his mind, relying on the vast resources he exchanged for with millions of points, and began his relentless cultivation.

Time passed slowly as Lu Sheng cultivated.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

A month later, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes in the Cultivation Room, a faint energy ripple spreading from his body only to be immediately reabsorbed within.

No aura leaked from his body; instead, he appeared extraordinarily solid.
