High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1572: Chapter 696: Quotas! Vast Wealth (Part 2)

Li Yuan sighed silently.

“If we keep denying these Star Beast Emperors hope, they might all commit suicide,” the Illusion Heart God King said. “Therefore, the three Mansion Masters have ordered that as long as they can achieve the Path Breaking… they can become formal members of the Divine Mansion.”

“It’s just a pity that the chance of a Star Beast Emperor breaking the path is too low.”

“Out of nearly three thousand formal members of the Divine Mansion, only over two hundred are of Star Beast Emperor origin,” the Illusion Heart God King shook his head.

Li Yuan nodded, now understanding why he hadn’t heard of some of the Quasi-Saints mentioned earlier.

They were Star Beast Emperors.

Star Beast Emperors, many of them are naturally Eighth Rank… born with powerful bloodlines, unable to reproduce, and are a product of the earth’s operations, but they are also bound invisibly.

If they can break the path, they can be free; otherwise, they will be enslaved forever.

“Some of the Star Servants are local life from the Immortal Heaven and Earth, some of whom joined voluntarily, while others were purchased from the Star City,” the Illusion Heart God King said. “In the future, if you want, you can also spend some Eternal Crystals to buy some Eighth Rank Star Servants in the Star City to handle some trivial tasks for you.”

“Purchase?” Li Yuan was stunned.

“Yes.”

“Do you remember the continent below the Star City? Those cultivation talents among the local life, if they ascend to the eighth rank, will be caught and enslaved directly at the Ascension Platform by the Star City. We members of the Divine Mansion can go and purchase them,” the Illusion Heart God King said frankly.

Li Yuan fell into complete silence.

No wonder the Tianluo Dominator doesn’t allow cosmic powerhouses to disturb the native life on the continent… this continent, in some sense, is the ’vegetable garden’ of the Tianluo Dominator.

Generations of native life are lives to be harvested.

“However, the Tianluo Universe Alliance also gives native life a chance… if they can break the path or survive enslavement for a hundred million years without perishing, they can gain freedom,” the Illusion Heart God King said.

Li Yuan sighed secretly.

Break the path? As far as he knew, the difficulty for local life to break the path was hundreds or thousands of times greater than for Star Beast Emperors… the cultivation environment of the Immortal Heaven and Earth is too unique.

And enslavement for a hundred million years?

If one’s Spiritual Will hasn’t transformed into an ’Eternal Heart,’ even an Eighth Rank Cultivator’s will might collapse and die over such a long period.

This so-called freedom is merely a small ray of hope for native life, preventing them from falling into despair and choosing suicide.

“Li Yuan, have you realized the harshness of the Immortal Heaven and Earth?” Little Tomb suddenly said.

“Yes.” Li Yuan felt a heaviness in his heart.

He originally thought the Eternal Relics were a paradise for the immortal… but now he sees it’s not so.

“The Immortal Divine Hall doesn’t care about the native life born in the Immortal Heaven and Earth; they are merely cultivation resources for the cosmic powerhouses,” Little Tomb said. “Even if the native life reaches the Emperor Realm, they are not qualified to obtain the Immortal Order… their potential is too low.”

“As for the external cosmic powerhouses.”

“They are lured with treasures on one hand and pressured by lifespan on the other,” Little Tomb said. “Do outside powerhouses want treasures to become stronger? Do they want to live forever in the Immortal Heaven and Earth? Then they must desperately earn Immortal Merit.”

Li Yuan understood.

He increasingly realized the truth in what Little Tomb had previously said: behind these Eternal Relics lurk forces with special reasons for their existence in the cosmos.

Soon.

The Illusion Heart God King led Li Yuan deeper into the Divine Mansion, where there were many unowned residences, each occupying a vast area.

“Each Divine Mansion City has ten thousand residences, so many are currently vacant…” the Illusion Heart God King said. “Heart Origin, you are a protector, with no restrictions, you may choose any one at will.”

“I’ll take this one.” Li Yuan knew that all residences were in the same initial state, even the three Divine Emperors were no exception.

“Take out your Protection Order, channel a trace of your aura to the residence and imprint your Life Mark,” the Illusion Heart God King instructed.

Li Yuan followed the Illusion Heart God King’s guidance and took out the Protection Order.

“Protection Order.” A trace of envy flashed in the Illusion Heart God King’s eyes, but he knew that the Protection Order recognized its master and couldn’t be forcibly taken.

In just a moment.

“Rumble~” The residence Li Yuan chose instantly began to release a surging aura, with waves of vigorous energy cascading down from the sky.

“The Guardian Array of the Star City? Have I officially become a member of the Chaos Mansion?” The thought crossed Li Yuan’s mind, and he received numerous messages.

All were guided by the origin of the Star City.

As the owner of the Protection Order.

Li Yuan’s joining of the Chaos Mansion granted it ten Star Guard Orders, one thousand Dark Star Orders, and a quota for ten thousand Star Servant Orders.

“Ten Star Guard Orders?” Li Yuan was secretly surprised.

Simultaneously, Li Yuan’s residence could channel a portion of the Guardian Array’s might in the Star City; even the Chaos God Emperor, as the Lord of the Divine Mansion, couldn’t easily spy on or instantly breach his residence.

Additionally, it could channel a vast amount of Origin Power for his cultivation… Most importantly, through the Star City’s origin, Li Yuan could receive a trace of ’Authority of Heaven and Earth’ bestowed silently by the entire Immortal Heaven and Earth.

“Authority of Heaven and Earth?”

“I see!” Li Yuan was thoroughly enlightened, finally understanding the immense importance of the Protection Order.

Li Yuan had basically confirmed.

For the Tianluo Star City, both Elder Orders and Protection Orders are limited in number… that one was bestowed upon him early shows how much the Cloud Moon Divine Emperor values him.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan stepped out of the residence, and with a single thought, the Main Hall, Guest Reception Hall, Side Hall, Cultivation Chamber, and others had already formed automatically.

“Authority of Heaven and Earth!” Li Yuan stood at the center of the residence.

In an instant!

The invisible shackles that the Immortal Heaven and Earth had imposed on his body and mind significantly dissipated… the efficiency with which Li Yuan’s two true bodies deduced The Mystery of the Dao increased dramatically.
