204: Chapter 204 Conversation in the Stars

Strolling through the starry sky.

"Wherever civilization exists, slaughter exists, and for demons, slaughter is the source of their power!"

"The history of the Cosmic Union until now is only several hundred thousand years!"

"Several hundred thousand years sounds like a long time, but in reality, compared to the history of the entire Universe, it is but a drop in the ocean, a mere splash in the long river of time!"

"Even during this period, demons still appear from time to time, causing wanton slaughter!"

"Over these hundreds of thousands of years, the civilizations destroyed by demons are countless, and the beings slaughtered by them are even more so!"

At this point, the Speaker sighed softly.

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Universe was always dark and lightless; demons ran rampant, and civilizations fell like rain!"

"In the countless ages of the past, civilizations like stars constantly rose and fell, and life continuously perished and vanished from this Universe."

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, thanks to the first technological civilization to emerge from the Void Land, the Alliance seized the opportunity and traded immeasurable sacrifices for the Seal of the demons."

"Now, the Universe has been under the Alliance's rule for five hundred and sixty thousand years. Although it seems peaceful and stable, it is actually as precarious as a pile of eggs!"

Saying this, the Speaker turned his head to look at Ji Yebai.

"I think you should have experienced this for yourself by now!"

"A civilization fell in just a few days, all because of a single demon!"

"And the demon born from the ruins of that civilization nearly grew to the Saint Rank in just a few days!"

"The Alliance can still maintain peace now, but that doesn't mean the crisis doesn't exist."

"The light of peace shines because someone is walking through the night on behalf of all living beings!"

The Speaker stopped.

Ji Yebai also came to a halt beside him.

At this moment.

The two stood side by side in the starlight.

Looking at the nearby sun, which breathed out boundless flowing light.

"The Saint Rank is an evolution, and it is also a pioneer!"

"By becoming a Saint Rank, the Alliance grants you supreme glory and privileges, but similarly, a Saint Rank is also one who carries a heavy burden through the darkness!"

Ji Yebai nodded.

At this moment, he completely understood the special status of the Saint Rank within the Alliance.

"You have pioneered a path!"

"A new path to the Saint Rank!"

"The benefits this will bring to the Alliance will be immense!"

The Speaker looked at Ji Yebai with appreciation.

Ji Yebai looked up, frowned, and then asked about his doubts.

"In such a long time, why has no new path to the Saint Rank been born!?"

"To become a Saint Rank through the Physical Body—if the Alliance had researched it diligently, they should have been able to figure it out long ago, right!?"

Currently, the Alliance only has one path of cultivation, which is becoming a Saint Rank through the Spiritual Body.

Logically speaking, this situation was abnormal.

A colossus of five hundred and sixty thousand years, constantly battling demons, should have seen a hundred flowers bloom in its civilizations.

Hearing Ji Yebai's question.

The Speaker paused and then laughed in spite of himself.

"How do you know the Alliance hasn't researched it!?"

"The Alliance has always been conducting research in this area!"

Ji Yebai frowned, puzzled. "Then why..."

"Sigh!"

The Speaker sighed deeply. "This path is too difficult to walk!"

"The power of the Law is too immense, and the Physical Body has its limits!"

"We also tried to infinitely enhance the Physical Bodies of test subjects, piling up all resources to create an incredibly tough Physical Body. But that body crumbled during the Law imprinting!"

"His spirit also directly dissolved within the Law!"

"Throughout history, such experiments have been conducted for no less than a hundred thousand years, but up to now, there is still no result!"

"Cultivating through the Physical Body, the end point stops at the Legendary Peak!"

The Speaker turned around and looked at the Blue Star Civilization, smiling.

"Endless ages ago, the civilization that emerged from the Void Land forged the Alliance's Foundation, and now, your civilization from the Void Land has opened the path of becoming a Saint through the Physical Body!"

"Fate is truly miraculous!"

The Speaker looked at Ji Yebai with a gentle gaze. "Before calling for you, I reviewed your Martial Arts Civilization's cultivation and roughly understand where the core lies!"

"But whether this path can ultimately be popularized, and whether it can allow your Blue Star Civilization and the Alliance to undergo a transformation, remains to be seen!"

Ji Yebai nodded in agreement.

His ability to become a Saint Rank was thanks to those three hundred years of secluded meditation.

During his seclusion, his Physical Body instinctively began to evolve based on the experience gained from the evolution of the Five Divine Beasts.

Constant tearing and healing.

For three hundred years, every moment, the flesh and blood cells throughout Ji Yebai's body were constantly tearing and then healing.

Over and over again.

It had already been repeated beyond counting.

Ji Yebai's Life and Death Realm was actually different from the conventional Life and Death Realm.

However, after leaving the Void Land, he recultivated Bai Zhu's Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, thereby returning to the right track.

Thinking about it carefully.

If not for his subconscious and Spiritual Sense seizing the evolution of the Five Divine Beasts, especially the evolutionary experience of the Vermilion Bird's Nirvana, he likely would never have had the chance to wake up.

He would only have exhausted all his energy in the endless tearing and healing, then vanished into nothingness.

Every tear was a subconscious attempt.

After three hundred years of continuous attempts, one could imagine how lucky he was to have reached this point.

"Everything in the Blue Star Civilization will remain normal, and I won't treat it specially, but I want you to join the Alliance and be registered in the Demon Suppression Division!"

"I won't assign you too many tasks, but when you are needed, please do not refuse!"

Hearing this.

Ji Yebai did not hesitate. "I can agree to this!"

"But my civilization is only over three hundred years old, after all. I need to protect it. If I feel a task conflicts with this, I will refuse!"

The Speaker heard Ji Yebai's decisiveness and determination.

He smiled and nodded. "Of course. The Blue Star Civilization now bears the heavy responsibility of verifying whether your path can succeed, so naturally, its safety is the priority!"

Ji Yebai nodded silently.

With this word from the Speaker, he was at ease!

For a powerhouse of the Speaker's strength, every word and action is absolute!

With the spirit imprinted in the Law, breaking a promise would go against one's own heart, which is detrimental to cultivation!

"Since you agree to join the Demon Suppression Division, then my intention for coming to see you has been achieved!"

"I will encrypt your information; only the highest levels of the Alliance will be able to access it. But similarly, neither the Blue Star Civilization nor you will have special protection! You will have to overcome any obstacles and difficulties encountered along the way yourselves!"

The Speaker said with a smile.

Ji Yebai nodded. "That's only natural!"

Jade must be carved to become a gem.

If the Blue Star Civilization wants to grow, what it needs is not coddling, but pressure.

"Alright!"

The Speaker spoke unhurriedly. "The official business is finished, and I have nothing left! But what about you? Is there anything you want to ask!?"

"Although my Dao is different from yours, I am a few steps ahead of you on the path of the Law. I think I can still be of some help to you!"

Hearing this.

Ji Yebai immediately became interested.

The person before him was terrifyingly strong!

Even he was likely no match.

And he did indeed have doubts regarding cultivation.

"Good!"

"I want to know the path beyond the Saint Rank!!!"

Ji Yebai's eyes were bright.
