Chapter 1616: Chapter 1277: Saving Resources
"Your words just saved me hundreds of years of time and half of the merit I’ve accumulated. A thank you is in order," Li Zhirui said with a smile.
Once the obsession was broken, his mental state expanded, and his realm was a clear path!
In less than a hundred years, Li Zhirui could make a breakthrough and face the Thunder Tribulation.
Yuhong shook his head, didn’t continue the topic, and said, "I’ll return to the Minor Thousand World to help organize the Laws."
"I appreciate it."
With a thought, only Li Zhirui was left in the Cave Mansion.
"Next, I can allocate more time to absorb Spiritual Energy and increase my Mana."
Since breaking through to Earth Immortal was no longer a problem, and the world war was still several hundred years away, there was no rush like before. Naturally, he wanted to refine his Mana and solidify his foundation.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
After returning to the starry sky, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo did not immediately return to the Divine Domain but went to the Beidou Star System.
While they were staying with the family, waiting for Yuhong to finish his seclusion and give a lecture, Ziwei contacted them through a Spirit Division in the Heavenly Court, asking them to first make a trip to the Beidou Star System on return, saying there was an important matter to discuss.
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor." Upon seeing Ziwei, the siblings respectfully bowed.
Even though their relationship was quite alright before, ever since Ziwei became the Heavenly Emperor, their interactions had significantly decreased.
Firstly, the distance brought by status; secondly, Ziwei’s busy affairs left little free time; and lastly, they were also busy cultivating and improving their strength.
"No need for formalities. I had matters to attend to earlier and couldn’t excuse myself to greet the two Star Lords, my apologies."
Ziwei warmly stood up, held their hands, seated them, and personally poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for each.
Then he knowingly asked, "Were you previously at your family informing them about the world war?"
"Yes." They candidly admitted, though they kept a mindful eye, sensing Ziwei’s enthusiastic attitude might indicate some difficult matter he wanted to discuss.
This was nothing to conceal, especially since it was Ziwei who tacitly allowed them to know in advance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have notified them several hundred years ahead without specifically sealing it.
In fact, they were informed later compared to top forces like the Yumen He Family and Xiaxian Sect, who had long known.
The reason he informed them in advance was to put pressure on various forces, urging them to strengthen in time and add some bargaining chips for victory in the war.
After all, this war is not only about the life and death of the Primal Spirit Realm and countless beings but also about whether his mother, Doumu Lord, can repay her karmic debts and move further ahead in transcendence!
"If I’m not mistaken, the highest cultivation in the Li family is Human Immortal? Such strength is indeed somewhat lacking in a two-world war."
Ziwei continued, "I have five Enlightenment Star Stones left, which I can offer to the two Star Lords."
"What does the Heavenly Emperor ask for?" Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo glanced at each other and directly inquired.
If he truly intended to give them, he could have done so like last time without saying much more; this is just a trade, after all.
"I hope you can provide me with a trace of the Sun and Taiyin’s origin."
Upon hearing this, the siblings’ brows instantly furrowed.
Divine Essence must not be leaked!
Otherwise, one might suddenly face a rivaling divinity.
Naturally, even if not divinity-related, essence is very important and must not be given to others, lest one be calculated against.
However, essence can be restored, albeit over a long time.
"I know how important the essence is to you both, but I can swear a Dao Oath, never to use the essence for anything against you!"
Seeing no change in their expressions, Ziwei had to reveal the purpose of the essence, saying, "My mother plans to set up a Great Array during the war, utilizing part of the Heavenly Dao Power to lessen the suppression on beings of the Otherworldly Heavenly Dao Origin Spirit Realm and establishing a base to slowly expand outward."
This indeed benefits all beings, yet it requires sacrificing their interests!
"If the two Star Lords find five Enlightenment Star Stones too few, you can choose a few treasures from the treasure vault!" Ziwei gritted his teeth, offering a condition immensely generous.
But to increase the odds of winning the war, any price is worth it!
"Why do you need our origins?" Li Chengsheng asked.
Noticing their softening attitude, Ziwei quickly explained, "Human Immortality, Yin Yang emerges! The Sun and Taiyin are the core transformations of Yin Yang, not only of a very high grade but also closely related to the Heavenly Dao."
"Please let us discuss this privately," they requested.
"Alright."
Ziwei immediately stood and left, leaving only Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo in the grand hall.
"Big brother, you don’t intend to agree, do you?"
While speaking, they set a barrier to isolate the sound.
"What he said isn’t unreasonable, the family lacks power and will be disadvantaged in the world war."
"But Uncle Yuhong has achieved Earth Immortal, Lady Xuan’s realm is about to break through, and Father is also likely to break through before the war arrives. With his grasp of the Purification Principle, he might better adapt to the otherworldly environment, making it unnecessary to share any essence, and..."
Li Chengshuo didn’t finish her thought—she didn’t trust Ziwei.
What core Yin Yang! According to him, Innate Yin Yang Qi is also a core transformation of Yin Yang, not inferior to their origins.
