High-Level Martial Era-Chapter 958 - 484: Li Yuan’s Selfishness_2

"Yes, master." Nearby, the butler Lian Dong’an quickly brought forth a group of extraordinarily beautiful young women.

"Oh? All prepared for me?" The black-clad young man’s eyes lit up. "Mandy, you really know my tastes."

"Haha." Mandy laughed, being well aware of the black-clad young man’s peculiar preferences.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, several figures descended from the sky. Their oppressive auras spread out, causing both the black-clad young man and Mandy’s expressions to change instantly.

"Who are you?"

"Who dares invade my estate? I am Mandy of the Soylo family!" The two Flying Heaven Warriors shouted furiously, simultaneously sending out distress calls.

Breaking in so flagrantly—this was undoubtedly trouble.

"Mandy." A cold voice echoed, as one of the figures emerged from the darkness.

It was a middle-aged white man, his fiery red hair flowing, with an air of nobility and an overwhelmingly powerful aura that made hearts tremble.

"Clan Leader?" Mandy was stunned.

The arrival was none other than the Semi-Divine Middle Rank expert ’Soylo Semi-Divine,’ the true ruler of the Europa Continent.

"Over the years, do you comprehend the gravity of your sins?" Soylo Semi-Divine’s voice was icy.

"Clan Leader, I..." Mandy began to explain.

"Take them away," Soylo Semi-Divine ordered grimly.

Boom! Boom! The two Peak-level Flying Heaven Warriors accompanying him acted immediately, apprehending the black-clad young man and Mandy.

Neither dared resist.

Boom!

The group swiftly departed.

Almost at the same time, across Blue Star, in some regions of Feixing, a wave of arrests began.

...

Night fell.

Feixing, Feilan City.

In the top-floor room of the Li family’s manor.

"So many treasures? And this amount of Blue Star Coins?" Li Changzhou gazed at the list of treasures handed to him by Li Yuan. Though he had already expected this, he was still somewhat shaken.

It was too much!!

One must know, for example, a single Fangshen Crystal was already an enormous fortune for Flying Heaven Warriors.

The wealth and treasures Li Yuan presented could likely amount to tens of thousands of Fangshen Crystals!

"Little Yuan, you’re letting me keep all of this?" Li Changzhou said softly.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

"I can’t manage this." Li Changzhou shook his head. "This kind of wealth is enough to drive even divine beings mad... plus you mentioned earlier that in ten years, you’ll have to leave."

"We’re too weak. In our family alone, we don’t even have a Semi-Divine; only Muhua is a Flying Heaven-level warrior." Li Changzhou remarked.

Li Yuan had already explained his situation to his uncle.

"By then, once you’re gone, these treasures won’t be blessings—they’ll be sources of calamity." Li Changzhou said calmly.

"Uncle, don’t worry. I’ve considered multiple facets of this." Li Yuan assured him. "Over the next ten years, numerous Life Planets will emerge within the civilization. I’ll fully transform one of them into a comprehensive base for our family’s future."

"This particular planet will be co-governed by the Li family and the civilization, but with priority given to the Li family."

"In terms of military power, I’ll arrange for Pseudo-God-level puppet defenses." Li Yuan explained. "This will serve both as a safeguard for the civilization and as a trump card for the family."

"Additionally."

"In the coming decade, I’ll devote myself to helping you, aunt, and Muhua with your cultivation." Li Yuan smiled. "I aim to help Muhua achieve Semi-Divine status before my departure."

"For uncle and aunt, advancing to Flying Heaven level will be no problem."

These words left Li Changzhou stunned.

The Li family... controlling a planet in the future?

Pseudo-God-level puppets?

"Won’t the upper echelons of the civilization have any objections to this?" Li Changzhou asked hesitantly.

"Uncle, rest assured. The legacy I leave for the civilization far exceeds what I leave for the family." Li Yuan said. "They won’t object. If I have the ability to bestow these riches, then I can take them all back at any time."

For Li Yuan, family always came first.

His aunt’s earlier words had also sparked a sense of caution in his heart.

After conducting an investigation, it was true that the Bai Shan Semi-Divine’s protective measures were tight, and the family had only been slightly disturbed.

But to Li Yuan, this was already a warning sign!

"Back when I first left, I had just reached the Semi-Divine Peak, leaving behind only a small portion of treasures for the family. Yet, many Flying Heaven Warriors coveted those." Li Yuan thought to himself. "This time, upon leaving again, I fear I’ll attract the attention of certain Semi-Divines."

An expansive civilization like Seven Stars was unimaginably vast. A civilization wasn’t a singular entity but the aggregation of countless individuals. In the future, the population of Seven Stars will likely reach tens of trillions, with thousands upon thousands of Semi-Divines emerging.

Such a large population leads to varied intentions.

There will always be parasites!

There will always be dangerous elements.

Li Yuan never expected unanimous harmony within Seven Stars Civilization, with everyone united against all odds.

That’s impossible.

For resources, for treasures—forget being of the same civilization; even blood relatives can turn against each other.

That’s why Li Yuan’s priority before venturing into the Divine Realm is eliminating potential risks and ensuring a stable environment for both his family and the civilization’s advancement.

...

That evening, Li Yuan logged onto the virtual network to converse with Bai Shan Semi-Divine.

"Senior Bai Shan, long time no see." Li Yuan greeted with a smile.

"Li Yuan, I apologize." Bai Shan Semi-Divine replied with evident regret. "I truly wasn’t aware of certain earlier incidents."

A number of Flying Heaven Warriors had privately visited the Li family, many originating from Xia Country.

"Senior Bai Shan, you’ve already done a fine job protecting us." Li Yuan smiled. "Otherwise, those Flying Heaven Warriors wouldn’t have stopped at merely attempting to bargain at lower prices."

"They were bold indeed." Bai Shan Semi-Divine agreed. "But now, they’ve all been apprehended. What’s your opinion on how to handle them?"

"Ultimately, there haven’t been any major consequences, so there’s no need for severe punishment." Li Yuan stated. "Most of them can be dealt with through minor penalties."

"However." Li Yuan spoke softly. "Lu Xingyu must face execution."

Li Yuan had consulted his family and reviewed the dossiers sent by Elder Yun.

"Very well, no problem." Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded.

From the moment he learned of this incident, Bai Shan had been most concerned about Li Yuan demanding the death of everyone involved in a fit of rage.

The willpower of a supreme being is unyielding.

Fortunately, Li Yuan reasoned through the situation, only requiring Lu Xingyu—a perpetrator who had crossed the line and attempted covertly to act—to be executed.

"By the way."

"Senior Bai Shan, here’s the star migration plan I requested Elder Yun to prepare for Xia Country." Li Yuan gestured, and countless beams of light coalesced to form a massive projection.

The projection displayed an incredibly detailed plan.

"This is?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine stared at the plan, momentarily stunned.

As one of the highest-ranking figures of Seven Stars Civilization, and a First-Rank Star Master, Bai Shan was well informed about the civilization’s imminent expansion plans, knowing every detail about the unprecedented boost in overall power.

But he had never imagined.

Beyond Seven Stars’ official plans, Li Yuan had privately orchestrated a separate ’Xia Country Plan.’

"You’re allocating fifty planets solely for Xia Country’s migration plan?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine asked in disbelief. "And citizens of Xia Country will have equal migration rights across other planets too?"

"Li Yuan, will the Semi-Divines from other planets agree to this?" Bai Shan Semi-Divine inquired hesitantly.

"Agree or not, it hardly matters." Li Yuan replied gently. "In the forthcoming civilization expansion, every planet, country, and faction within Seven Stars Civilization will benefit enormously... But Xia Country is my homeland."

"I will support the entirety of the civilization."

"Yet, I do have my biases."

"According to my plan, a few centuries or millennia later, the civilization will no longer differentiate between nations or races. But I hope the Xia Country lineage will evolve into the core pillar of the entire civilization." Li Yuan smiled.

Bai Shan Semi-Divine nodded firmly. "Understood. I’ll do my utmost."

Bai Shan Semi-Divine had devoted the majority of his life to building up Xia Country.

His dream was to see Xia Country thrive in might and prosperity.

...

As time passed, Seven Stars Civilization underwent sweeping transformations, mobilizing its entire system from top to bottom.

Meanwhile, emissaries from Seven Stars Civilization finally reached the central planet of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

Simultaneously.

The shocking news: ’Li Yuan of Seven Stars Civilization singlehandedly destroys Wan Mo Civilization’ began spreading across various Foreign Civilizations in the Dimensional Plane at a staggering pace.
