High-Level Martial Era-Chapter 954 - 481: Affecting the Entire Civilization_4

"Hmm."

"Just like the previous waves of Flying Heaven Warriors, they’re always scheming, trying to acquire some treasures." Li Changzhou smiled and said, "I chased them away."

"They’re just a bunch of jackals drawn by the smell of blood." Chen Hui said with a deep voice, "Back when Sang Qiu was here, who would dare come to our door?"

For many years before, the Sang Qiu Demigod had secretly protected them.

In fact.

During the Kunlun battle years ago, if not for the protection of Sang Qiu Demigod, Chen Hui and Li Chengzhou might have been in grave danger... but Sang Qiu Demigod ultimately died in battle.

"Let them come if they dare." Li Changzhou smiled and said, "No one would truly dare steal the treasures."

"If they really try, the Flying Heaven Puppets left behind by Little Yuan are not to be underestimated." Li Changzhou said.

Back then, besides Sang Qiu Demigod, Li Yuan had left behind several Flying Heaven Puppets to guard his uncle and aunt closely.

"These matters ought to be reported to Bai Shan Semi-Divine." Chen Hui sighed and shook her head.

"And what good would that do? Can Bai Shan Semi-Divine kill them? After all, they’re just here to negotiate deals." Li Changzhou shook his head and said, "It’s only that the treasures are tempting; who can blame Little Yuan for leaving us so many treasures?"

"Little Yuan had made friends with many Demigods and left us an immense amount of goodwill."

"But for minor issues like these, it wouldn’t be right to casually disturb the Demigods." Li Changzhou added, "With Little Yuan gone, the goodwill with the Demigods depletes every time it’s used."

Chen Hui nodded lightly; she understood the logic.

Over the years, their family had lived a very peaceful life. They were among those saved during the Kunlun Star Realm battle in its early stages.

Even now, though everyone knew the Li family possessed treasures that could even tempt the Demigods, no one dared to truly snatch them... though the disturbances were incessant.

"The key always lies in personal strength."

Li Changzhou softly said, "In the past, no one dared to bother us because Sang Qiu was alive. Sang Qiu’s presence proved Little Yuan was unharmed... But in the past two years, rumors have spread across the civilization, saying Little Yuan has fallen."

"Little Yuan?" Chen Hui’s chest tightened with sadness, "It’s been fifteen years, and there hasn’t been a single piece of news."

In her heart, Little Yuan was like her own child.

"In the world of the strong."

"As Bai Shan Semi-Divine said, Little Yuan must have gone to a terrifying and perilous place, where life and death are uncertain." Li Changzhou said in a somber tone, "But I believe he’s still alive."

"Sooner or later, Little Yuan will come back."

Suddenly.

"Hmm?" Li Changzhou turned his head toward the window; as a Top Level Origin Martial Artist, his Perception Ability was extraordinary.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The couple quickly moved to the grass outside, joined by a pair of children who ran over.

A warship was slowly descending, and several figures emerged, among them Bai Shan Semi-Divine.

"Bai Shan Semi-Divine? Why would he come here suddenly?" Chen Hui exclaimed with surprise, "That person, we often see him on TV, don’t we?"

The couple felt puzzled at heart.

"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, it’s been a while." Bai Shan Semi-Divine greeted them warmly, while the others behind him were polite to the point of slightly bowing.

"Senior Bai Shan," Chen Hui and Li Changzhou replied respectfully.

They understood Bai Shan Semi-Divine’s status.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Qing, quickly greet Senior Bai Shan." Chen Hui pulled her grandchildren over.

"Haha, so these must be Li Yu and Li Qing; they’ve grown quite a bit." Bai Shan Semi-Divine chuckled kindly, "No need to call me senior; it seems distant. If you don’t mind, just call me Grandpa Bai."

Grandpa Bai?

The two children were still somewhat confused.

Li Changzhou, however, seemed to understand something. Forcing down his excitement, he tried to remain composed and asked, "Senior Bai Shan, has Little Yuan returned?"

...

Li Yuan, who had caused a profound transformation across the entire civilization, paid little attention to external matters.

Within the Starry Sky.

Inside a Quiet Chamber of the Ancient Divine Palace.

"Boom—!"

A surge of violent energy crashed into the walls of the chamber, before gradually settling into silence.

"The fifth trial is finally completed." Li Yuan smiled faintly.

Even with Li Yuan’s strength, passing this trial had consumed a significant amount of time.

After all, this fifth trial had originally been devised by the Ancient Torch Divine for its disciples at the Void God Realm.

Moreover, the trial wasn’t solely a test of strength.

Within the Quiet Chamber, swirls of radiant light coalesced and eventually formed an earth-toned, glittering sphere.

The sphere shone with a robust aura.

"What is this?" A flicker of curiosity crossed Li Yuan’s eyes, as his Divine Sense permeated deep into the sphere.

Boom!

"My disciple," a voice echoed in Li Yuan’s mind.

"Breaking past the fifth trial proves you have reached the Peak of Pseudo-God and gained profound insights into the Dao of Arrays..."

"Having acquired this ’Artifact Origin,’ when you venture to the Divine Realm and arrive at Fierce Star Domain, once you ascend to the True God Realm, you will have the opportunity to obtain the Inheritance Divine Artifacts..."

Masses of information surged into Li Yuan’s consciousness.

"The Inheritance Divine Artifacts within the Starry Sky Ancient City?" Li Yuan murmured to himself.
