My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

During Li Xuancang's seclusion, the Divine Dynasty was in turmoil, with countless people running around trying to help him recover from his injuries.

After recovering, Li Xuancang appeared in the courtroom immediately.

"Lord Li, are you alright?"

Li Xuancang's appearance in the courtroom immediately caused a huge sensation.

Yan Fa even came in person, constantly scrutinizing Li Xuancang.

"Thank you all for your concern, I am much better now."

Upon confirming that Li Xuancang was safe and sound, everyone was overjoyed and erupted in thunderous cheers.

The news spread quickly, and the capital city was engulfed in a sea of ​​jubilation.

The news spread from the capital to all directions, shaking the entire Divine Dynasty.

"Hahaha, Lord Li has recovered from his injuries, thanks to the blessings of Heaven."

"The fact that Lord Li is safe and sound is a blessing to the Divine Dynasty."

"Lord Li is a lucky man, and he will not fall so easily."

"..."

Li Xuancang recovered from his injuries, which quickly calmed the panicked Divine Dynasty down.

At the same time, Li Xuancang's illustrious reputation also spread throughout the starry sky.

"Are there really such powerful people in the world?"

"To fight four opponents alone and forcibly seize a top-grade sacred artifact—is this really not just a rumor?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"..."

News of the Battle of Blackrock Fortress spread rapidly, and many people were incredulous upon hearing the news.

In their understanding, no living being could be so powerful.

"The Abyss is too powerful. The one who makes the final move will definitely be a late-stage Cave Heaven Realm expert. How can we defend ourselves?"

"With the Abyss invasion imminent, and not being an eternal dynasty, how should we respond?"

"Are we going to hand over this vast world to others and abandon it, fleeing from this realm?"

"..."

As news of the great war continued to spread, many worlds were filled with anxiety, fearing that the Abyss might attack at any moment.

They lacked the immense power of the Eternal Divine Dynasty, and they also lacked the torch that could contend with the Abyss.

Once the abyss invades, there is nothing left but to wait for death.

The entire universe was filled with unease, a storm was brewing, and a dark cloud hung over everything.

After Li Xuancang recovered from his injuries, he convened the Eternal Council.

"Although we achieved considerable results this time, for the Abyss, this loss is completely negligible."

In this battle, Li Xuancang severely injured several powerful figures, including Jian Lingzi, and even killed the Shadow Demon and seized the World-Destroying Millstone.

It may seem like a great gain, but for the Abyss, this loss is just a drop in the ocean.

"I am prepared to launch a full-scale counterattack, reclaim the entire Forsaken Land, and cut off the Abyss's spying."

Li Xuancang's words were astonishing, leaving everyone stunned and shocked.

More than 90% of the Land of Abandoned Heaven has fallen, and the Divine Dynasty only occupies less than 10%. Li Xuancang's desire to reclaim the Land of Abandoned Heaven is wishful thinking.

Unless the God Emperor leaves the Imperial Palace, the Divine Dynasty can only defend passively and cannot retaliate.

"Lord Li, we understand your good intentions, but the current strength of the Divine Dynasty is insufficient to support a counterattack. We urge Lord Li to reconsider."

Hong Xuanji immediately stopped Li Xuancang from having unrealistic ideas.

Faced with the abyss, the Divine Dynasty was already struggling to defend itself and was powerless to counterattack.

If Li Xuancang is stubborn and willful, he will only drag the Divine Dynasty into an abyss of no return.

"Lord Li, please reconsider!"

"Lord Li, you absolutely mustn't!"

"Lord Li, this move is too risky and needs to be carefully considered."

"..."

Everyone tried to dissuade him, but no one supported Li Xuancang.

Looking at the dissenting crowd, Li Xuancang understood.

He was keen to launch a counterattack, but he was also well aware of the state of the Divine Dynasty.

He said it in public only to test everyone's attitude.

It seems now that everyone has long since lost their edge, only thinking about staying in their own little corner, and has lost all ambition.

Everyone was only thinking about prolonging their lives and extending the existence of the divine dynasty as much as possible.

They knew perfectly well that the Divine Dynasty no longer had the strength to launch a counterattack, and its destruction was only a matter of time.

"In that case, we'll discuss this matter later."

Seeing that Li Xuancang did not insist on going his own way, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The people's attitude towards Li Xuancang was very complicated.

The Divine Dynasty needs Li Xuancang's combat strength to stabilize the situation.

However, Li Xuancang's ideas were wildly imaginative and often unexpected, making them difficult to bear.

They were extremely worried that Li Xuancang might make a decision that would plunge the Divine Dynasty into an abyss.

"I plan to rebuild the Starry Sky Marketplace and exchange goods with all the heavens and myriad worlds."

As soon as Li Xuancang finished speaking, everyone's hearts tightened.

Before the Abyss invaded, the Eternal Divine Dynasty, in conjunction with some top-tier worlds, established the Starry Sky Marketplace, which became a holy land for trade across the myriad worlds and enjoyed unparalleled prestige for a time.

Li Xuancang's desire to restart the Starry Sky Market weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Building a Starry Sky Market requires a significant investment of time and resources.

Even at its peak, the Eternal Divine Dynasty needed to unite with other great realms to achieve its goals.

Now that the Divine Dynasty has long lost its former glory and has no support from other great worlds, how can it establish a Starry Sky Market?

"Lord Li, establishing the Starry Sky Market requires a lot of resources and time, and the Divine Dynasty's finances are already overburdened."

Zhang Mingyang immediately stood up to object.

He is the head of the ruling hall, and he is responsible for the livelihood and logistics of the divine dynasty.

The battle between the Divine Dynasty and the Abyss has never stopped, and the resources consumed in the war are an astronomical figure that is causing headaches.

Improving people's livelihoods, resettling the populace, building cities, providing salaries for the army and officials in various departments... none of these require the responsibility of the ruling hall.

The Divine Dynasty's treasury is already running a deficit. If Li Xuancang were to establish the Starry Sky Market, even emptying the treasury wouldn't be enough.

If Li Xuancang is allowed to act arbitrarily, the Divine Dynasty will be unable to function properly.

Looking at Zhang Mingyang, who was full of worries and constantly complaining, Li Xuancang frowned.

The Divine Dynasty was too vast, and also rotten to the core. Whatever he wanted to do was restricted, which made Li Xuancang very irritable.

"You refused to thoroughly investigate all departments, you refused to launch a counterattack, and you even refused to establish the Starry Sky Marketplace. What do you want to do?"

Li Xuancang flew into a rage, his roar echoing throughout the hall.

Seeing the enraged Li Xuancang, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and an invisible sense of oppression washed over them.

"Lord Li, please calm your anger. It's not that we're against you, but the situation in the Divine Dynasty is such that we have no choice but to be more cautious!"

Dongfang Shenhuo hurriedly spoke up to persuade him.

It wasn't that they were opposing Li Xuancang; it was simply that what Li Xuancang wanted to do was shaking the foundations of the country, and they had no choice but to stop him.

"My mind is made up; establishing the Starry Sky Marketplace is imperative."

Li Xuancang's attitude was resolute.

The dynasty is riddled with deep-seated problems and can only be prolonged by making drastic changes.

Establishing a Starry Sky Marketplace allows for trade and exchange with all the worlds, easing tense relations.

Once a market town is established, it becomes a treasure trove.

Only when the Divine Dynasty has the resources can Li Xuancang proceed with his subsequent plans.

Instead of living a wretched existence like we are now, slowly being devoured by the abyss.
