Chapter 788: Chapter 400: The Origin of the Shadow Disaster! If I Ascend to Divinity

"Let’s talk about it later."

Jiang Ye smiled slightly and said, "Right now, we should think about how to resolve the current situation."

Upon hearing this, Qingmei’s expression also became serious.

"Outside there’s the impassable Tongtian Pot."

"Inside we have the Cangxu and Haisan coalition watching us like tigers." Qingmei frowned and said, "With our current strength, I’m afraid we cannot contend with them."

"And!"

"Wang Ye, you using your extraordinary body to contend with a prodigy will definitely stir up a storm in the Cangxu Civilization and Haisan Civilization." Qingmei said seriously, "If I’m not mistaken, the two coalitions have probably already mobilized their troops, converging on the Initial Realm."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

He was also worried about this point.

In the Initial Realm, the Huanglong Civilization was already at a disadvantage. If the enemy continues to send reinforcements, the situation will only become more difficult then.

"What about the Starry Sky Corridor? Is it also impassable?" Jiang Ye asked.

The Starry Sky Corridor is incredibly mysterious.

It traverses the cosmic starry sky, with both ends of the corridor even capable of spanning thousands or tens of thousands of light-years, such terrifying power far beyond the capabilities of a secondary Starry Sky Civilization.

In theory, nothing should be able to lock it down.

"The Tongtian Pot indeed cannot block the Starry Sky Corridor."

"But since the Cangxu Civilization has set things up here, we can’t use the Starry Sky Corridor." Qingmei shook her head and said, "Otherwise, it would be walking right into a trap."

"Why?" Jiang Ye couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

"The Cangxu Civilization has done quite an extensive study of the Starry Sky Corridor."

"Although they cannot create a Starry Sky Corridor, they can change the course of the Star Array." Qingmei said, "For example, the Starry Sky Corridor within the Initial Realm might not lead to the outside world but to the coalition’s base camp."

Jiang Ye was taken aback.

The Cangxu Civilization even had such capabilities? Truly bizarre and unfathomable.

"According to what I know."

"The Cangxu Civilization uses this method to plunge many of the associated civilizations within its territory into years of war." Qingmei explained, "They use this to filter out the true powerhouses."

"Years of war?" Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

"For example, leading a civilization’s Starry Sky Corridor to another civilization."

"In this way, war between the two civilizations is inevitable," Qingmei said, "Only those who rise amidst the war are valued by the Cangxu Civilization."

"Moreover, in the Cangxu Civilization, there exists a peculiar race named the Shadow Race."

"These beings are almost immortal; the only way is to eradicate their mother nests." Qingmei shook her head and said, "As a result, many low-level civilizations under the Cangxu Civilization suffer greatly."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, but internally, a storm was brewing.

So it seems.

The cause of the Shadow Disaster on Blue Star, which inflicted countless casualties, was the Cangxu Civilization!

"Bai Gui’s guess was indeed correct."

"However." Jiang Ye felt a chill in his heart, "The Blue Star Civilization, strictly speaking, isn’t within the territory of the Cangxu Civilization, just near its subordinate areas."

"So the Shadow Disaster on Blue Star might just be something the Cangxu Civilization did casually..."

To put it bluntly.

The Cangxu Civilization’s way of nurturing powerhouses is akin to raising venomous insects.

As long as it’s near the subordinate areas of the Cangxu Civilization, it will be affected, laying down the Shadow Disaster and then letting it fend for itself.

Like Blue Star.

Although Blue Star doesn’t belong to the Cangxu Civilization, if it survives the Shadow Disaster’s catastrophe and gets noticed by some of the ’big figures’ in the Cangxu Civilization, there’s a possibility of being incorporated.

"If that’s really the case."

"What do the billions of lives lost on Blue Star amount to?" Jiang Ye’s eyes were filled with icy intent, "And the countless sacrificed Martial Arts Masters, what do they amount to?"

Blue Star was never meant to be so ravaged!

It’s just that Blue Star is too close to the Cangxu Civilization.

Even if it miraculously survives the Shadow Race calamity, what if the Cangxu Civilization comes to incorporate it then?

Refuse?

That would be a secondary Starry Sky Civilization!

"Join the Huanglong Civilization?"

"I’m afraid the Huanglong Civilization wouldn’t want that either," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

The Huanglong Civilization is too far from Blue Star, separated by endless distances.

And as far as Jiang Ye knew, there was no Starry Sky Corridor leading to Blue Star within the Huanglong Civilization.

It’s unlikely any powerhouse would be willing to traverse the universe personally to govern such a remote place.

"Jiang Ye, there’s no need to worry."

"If Blue Star can rise during the Civilization Struggle," Bai Gui’s voice rang out in Jiang Ye’s mind, "it will naturally be noticed by major secondary Starry Sky Civilizations, and by then, the Cangxu Civilization wouldn’t dare make reckless moves."

"After all, according to cosmic regulations, Blue Star is still deemed an ownerless planet."

Jiang Ye felt a stirring in his heart.

Rising in the Civilization Struggle? That is something two years from now.

"However."

"For Blue Star to catch the attention of secondary civilizations, it must perform exceptionally well this time," Bai Gui said, "If it can leap to a level 1 civilization, it’s likely to be noticed."

"Ascending to a level 1 civilization??" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

The Blue Star Civilization is currently only a level 0.7 civilization.

"The standard for a level 1 Starry Sky Civilization is to have at least one God, right?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"There are distinct ascension standards in the Civilization Struggle," Bai Gui said, "You needn’t worry about this."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

Ultimately, it still depends on whether one is excellent enough!

Protesting a thousand times is not as effective as a single flick of a God’s palm.

If I ascend to divinity, where would these troubles come from?

...

Soon, all distractions in Jiang Ye’s heart dissipated completely.

"Qingmei."

Jiang Ye looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, "When I and Prince Zijun and the others arrived previously, why didn’t you retreat at the first opportunity?"

This was something that had always puzzled him.

With Prince Zijun covering them, if Qingmei had withdrawn immediately, the losses wouldn’t have been this severe.

"Because they originally only had three people."
