Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

"With your reputation... you can be said to have become a legendary figure throughout the Three Major Star Systems, to the extent that... the current population of ten billion is data from three days ago. I estimate that by today... the population might have already broken through to eleven billion!"

Listening to Du Bai's explanation, even Lu Sheng couldn't help but be startled.

He hadn't expected that this crisis at Star River University would lead to such vigorous development of the population base at Martial Immortal Villa.

However, though the population had increased, there was no trace of a smile on Lu Sheng's face.

"In the end, it's all about the sense of security!"

"The impact on Star River University this time has been immense. Even with the utmost efforts to extend aid, there were still trillions of beings who perished in this war."

Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh. Beside him, Du Bai and Song Zhifei also restrained their smiles, a hint of worry appearing between their brows.

The Martial Immortal Villa had started to develop, but this development was built on the damage and impact suffered by other factions.

This was not something Lu Sheng wanted to see.

"What's the situation with the Life Factions?"

After observing the situation at Martial Immortal Villa, Lu Sheng asked about the state of the Life Factions.

After all, whether it was the Life Factions or the Martial Immortal Villa, to Lu Sheng, there was no difference between them.

"The Life Factions have gained three new sixth-tier members! These three sixth-tier members joined after their factions were devastated in the war and had to be absorbed by other factions."

Du Bai said slowly.

"Devastating impact..."

Lu Sheng murmured, the worry between his brows growing deeper.

The trauma Star River University suffered this time was rare, with some smaller factions having only sixth-tier mentors. Following the deaths of these mentors, such factions could hardly sustain themselves anymore.

The school would then absorb the students and core members of these factions into other factions.

"This time at Star River University... eleven smaller factions were annihilated. Even the Star River Factions and Steel Factions were significantly impacted by the deaths of their mentors on the frontline. Currently, they don't even have any students reaching the seventh tier."

Song Zhifei said slowly.

Hearing this, Lu Sheng sighed again.

"Mentor Zhang Chu and Mentor Lei Zhen..."

Lu Sheng was quite familiar with Zhang Chu, who had once tried to entice him to join the Star River Factions.

Moreover, Zhang Chu was extremely young. Had he not died in battle, he could have supported the Star River Factions for thousands of years, enough time for the faction to produce new seventh-tier mentors.

But unfortunately, because of this war, the Star River Factions suffered tremendous damage. Even with their years of accumulation, it would take a considerable amount of time to recover.

Lu Sheng waved his hand and said to Du Bai and Song Zhifei, "Alright, you two need to keep a close eye on the rescue and relocation efforts. These are currently the most important tasks for our Martial Immortal Villa."

Hearing this, Du Bai and Song Zhifei bowed to Lu Sheng and then left Celestial Brilliance Star.

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on a green leaf of the Heaven-Reaching Vine, a slight sorrow appearing on his face.

"In the end, it's still a matter of not being strong enough!"

Ye Chen sighed lightly.

Whether it was the gamble between the Forging Star System and the Void Insect Race, or the cosmic aliens drawn by his breakthrough to the seventh tier, or his later journey to the Forging Star System to assist Emperor Bai in thwarting the Lord of Ascension's plan...

Lu Sheng saw only one thing.

And that was the abject vulnerability of ordinary beings in the vast universe.

In the clashes between top cosmic races, countless ordinary beings were destined to be obliterated in these wars.

Lu Sheng remained silent. He himself had fled from a ruined planet and did not want to see such things again, just like Emperor Bai.

But regardless of whether it was Lu Sheng or Emperor Bai, in the grand collisions between major cosmic races, what they could do... was very limited.

As a mere seventh-tier, Lu Sheng could at best protect his Martial Immortal Villa and the Life Factions.

Even Emperor Bai, a Galactic Life Form, struggled to protect too many Life Planets amidst the clashes of other top cosmic races.

"I must become stronger! Only by doing so can I make the Lord of Ascension abandon his ascension plan and save more ordinary beings in the Forging Star System."

"Eighth tier, ninth tier, or even becoming a Galactic Life Form, only then can I protect more ordinary beings!"

Resolute determination glimmered in Lu Sheng's eyes.

Moments later, Lu Sheng's expression gradually calmed. He looked at the Heaven-Reaching Vine beside him, frowning slightly.

"The Heaven-Reaching Vine's branch aura seems weakened."

"But it's understandable. Even though this branch has absorbed energy from the Celestial Brilliance Star for decades, it's still just a branch."

"At most, it can only unleash sixth-tier power. In the previous face-off against so many seventh-tier cosmic aliens, it was severely injured."

"If the branch is like this... then the main body of the Heaven-Reaching Vine taken to the frontline by Senior Sister is likely also severely injured."

He glanced at his watch, a hint of hesitation flickering in his eyes.
