Chapter 544 The Situation of the Sacred Heart (Please Subscribe!!! 4,000 words)

At Lex's urging, Xu Yuan did not take action.

The Abyss Explorer spacecraft remained outside the wormhole, seemingly frozen in this deep space of space, quietly waiting.

After a long time, three spaceships came from three directions and surrounded Xu Yuan's Tanyuan.

Lex's consciousness appeared and quickly released a powerful wave.

This is a fluctuation of magic.

It is also the fluctuation of a forbidden spell.

However, compared to the conventional forbidden spells that could destroy the world, this forbidden spell seemed to be only meant to prove something.

Despite releasing the forbidden spell, it failed to stimulate the three spaceships.

Time passed, and soon three figures emerged from the spaceship.

One of the figures flew swiftly toward the direction of the Abyss Explorer.

Xu Yuan's gaze flickered.

He had heard Lex say that only magicians at the level of true gods could survive in the universe and possess the basic ability to fly in space.

Even so, generally speaking, even a true god-level magician cannot travel alone in the universe, because the universe is simply too vast and expansive.

At most, they would leave the spaceship and move around freely for a while.

The figure before us is able to fly in the universe, so it is clearly at least at the level of a true god.

As the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm spread out, Xu Yuan's perception was enhanced to its limit.

With the Seven Forbidden Techniques, he also has an extremely high degree of control over the surrounding universe.

"Greetings, esteemed Star Lord. May I ask which Star Lord you are?"

The mage opposite him released a mental wave, and even Xu Yuan, who did not understand the language of the Sacred Heart Plane, could understand what the other party meant.

This is a kind of magic that enables more barrier-free communication.

The Sacred Heart Plane encompasses a star system, and the languages ​​within it are mostly inconsistent. Once one reaches the god level, they generally prefer to communicate using mental fluctuations, which is more time-efficient.

Of course, magicians below the god level can also use this kind of magic, but they cannot yet practice casting it to the point where it is as natural as instinct.

"The Star Lord?" Lex looked nostalgic.

"It's been so many years since I've heard that title."

The mage opposite did not urge him, but let Lex sigh.

A god-level mage has a very stable source of spiritual power. As long as the source of their divine consciousness is still there and they have enough opportunities to preserve their divine consciousness, they basically have a chance to survive.

How long one can live depends on how skillfully one preserves their consciousness.

Therefore, the concept of lifespan for magicians has disappeared from the level of godhood onwards, because there are indeed magicians who are immortal and have lived for a very long time.

Rumor has it that the first mage to break through to godhood is still alive.

Of course, even if one survives, one will only have a spiritual body and will be unable to further improve.

Without a physical body, spiritual power is like a rootless duckweed; no matter how much one comprehends it, it cannot continue to progress.

Unless the body is reshaped.

However, physical aging is accompanied by a decline in one's spiritual essence.

As the body's life comes to an end, the source of spiritual power also ages and enters old age.

The physical state has a significant impact on the mental state, so even powerful magicians who survive by relying on divine sense abandon their physical bodies before reaching old age.

Even if the body is reconstructed, the source of spiritual power will still be depleted.

In other words, the physical body has a limited lifespan; what truly endures is the spiritual body.

Moreover, reshaping the physical body itself also involves losses.

However, the method of spiritual consciousness is not merely for the purpose of merely surviving.

With the accumulation of time, there will always be opportunities for further progress. When those opportunities arise, it is also possible to reshape one's body.

The Sacred Heart Plane is so powerful precisely because of this: throughout the long lives of generations of magicians, countless forbidden spells have been created, and numerous magical systems have been summarized and refined, ensuring the prosperity of the entire cultivation system to this day.

Tianya did not urge them.

He didn't know who this Star Lord's consciousness, who had returned from the Blood Demon No. 3 wormhole, was, nor did he know what era the other party belonged to. When the other party was expressing his feelings, he simply listened attentively to his feelings.

"I am the Lord of the Stars," Lex said.

Lord of the Heavenly Stars?

Tianya frowned in thought.

"What? Tianming Star has declined now?" Lex frowned, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

"Tianming Star was renamed Sirius five thousand years ago, and the star lord is the Lord of Sirius."

Lord of Sirius?

Who is the Lord of Sirius?

"Seven thousand years ago, the Lord of Sirius appeared out of nowhere. In just one hundred years, he successfully broke through to become a god-level mage. In the next five hundred years, he became a super god-level mage. Five thousand years ago, the Lord of Sirius was already a peak super god."

Tianya's few words silenced Lex.

Such a genius truly deserves his own star.

After being missing for five thousand years, it is understandable that the Magic Alliance would assign his original planet to this Lord of Sirius.

But that was, after all, his territory.

Now we've been under someone else's command for five thousand years.

Life is unpredictable, and the world changes constantly.

Does anyone know what the current situation is with Sirius, or rather, the star Tianming?

"The senior claims to be the Lord of the Heavenly Star, so he must be the merchant lord who disappeared ten thousand years ago?"

Lex nodded.

"That's right, I am the merchant, Lex."

Xu Yuan was also listening to all of this and quickly sorted out the logic.

Merchant?

Wow, so Lex really is a businessman.

"Merchant Master, the Lord of Sirius also comes from the Myriad Stars Merchant Guild. After your disappearance, the Myriad Stars Merchant Guild experienced a period of turmoil, but it stabilized and developed rapidly thanks to the joint efforts of the three vice presidents. Now, the Myriad Stars Merchant Guild is the largest merchant guild in the alliance, and in addition to the Lord of Sirius, there is another Lord of Myriad Stars in charge."

Lord of all stars?

Lex frowned.

Named after Ten Thousand Stars, this Lord of Ten Thousand Stars

"It is said that he is a descendant of you, the Merchant Lord. After showing his talent, he was found by the three vice presidents and received resources from the Wanxing Merchant Guild to nurture him, thus achieving the level of a God."

"Wait!" Lex's eyes widened as he looked at Tianya, emphasizing each word: "You're saying the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars achieved God-level status?"

"Yes, the Lord of Myriad Stars is a true god-level being."

Lex and Tianya continued their communication, trying to gather the information they wanted to know.

Xu Yuan, standing to the side, witnessed the helplessness of an old man returning to his hometown.

Ten thousand years!

Ten thousand years have passed, and all of Lex's former friends and family are now gone. The power he has built is vastly different from what it once was.

Although it sounds like good news, who knows what the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars and the Lord of Sirius think of him, this merchant?

Xu Yuan just hoped it wouldn't be some kind of melodramatic plot.

"Master, we still need to verify your identity." Tianya clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "Excuse me."

"I will cooperate, but I hope it won't take up too much time. I will only cooperate with you for three days."

As Lex spoke, he glanced back at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan nodded, indicating that he could wait three days.

Moreover, Lex also used his divine sense to communicate with him, indicating that these three days were also counted as time for space travel.

This refers to the time they spent piloting the Abyss as it sailed with the fleet back to the nearest base in the Sacred Heart plane.

"Respected Merchant, you once went to the Blood Demon Territory for the sake of the Alliance, and every mage in the Alliance remembers your achievements."

After all the exchanges were over, Xu Yuan put away the Tanyuan.

He did not continue to control the Abyss, but instead boarded the Alliance ship with Lex.

Tianya was quite surprised to see that Xu Yuan could store the spaceship inside his body.

What a peculiar method.

"Who is this?" He finally asked Xu Yuan's identity.

"This is Xu Yuan. He received some magic from me and, by sheer luck, developed his own forbidden spells," Lex said.

He did not exaggerate Xu Yuan's talent.

Xu Yuan was, after all, an outsider, and excessive praise would only arouse the alliance's vigilance.

After all, they returned from the Blood Demon Territory. Ten thousand years have passed. Even if the Alliance remembers his past achievements, it doesn't mean they won't suspect whether he has joined the Blood Demon God Realm during this time.

"I've been basically in slumber for the past ten thousand years, completely cut off from the Alliance. What's the current situation with the Alliance?"

Tianya's face was grave.

"The situation is not optimistic. The Blood Demon God Realm has not continued to invade our Sacred Heart Starfield, but in the last ten thousand years, the Crimson Domain has developed extremely rapidly and expanded dramatically, causing friction with several surrounding starfields. Although our Sacred Heart Starfield does not directly border them, it has also been drawn into a lot of our energy."

In the universe, the absence of direct borders does not mean the absence of conflict.

Because of the existence of wormholes, the most obvious geographical boundary is no longer meaningful.

If two star systems are connected by a wormhole, then those two star systems can be considered 'neighbors'.

Clearly, there is a wormhole between the Sacred Heart Starfield and the Crimson Domain.

"The Crimson Realm?" Lex frowned, pondering the origins of this star system.

"Master Merchant, the Crimson Realm was only a plane that had just broken through to the god level in your time," Tianya explained.

Lex's brow remained furrowed.

In these ten thousand years, not only have the alliances changed drastically, but the power dynamics in the universe have also undergone a major reshuffle.

"Under the leadership of the Crimson Mother, the Crimson Plane expanded rapidly, devouring multiple life-bearing planets in the surrounding area. After breaking through to the God level, it experienced a series of explosions, and the cultivation limit within the plane gradually broke through from the True God level."

"However, according to the information the Alliance knows, the Crimson Mother was not a native of the Crimson Plane, but a powerful being who wandered the universe. She may have been at the level of a god. It was under her impetus that the Crimson Plane achieved this exaggerated expansion speed and its current territory."

"The Crimson Mother," Lex muttered the name.

Tianya said, "The Crimson Mother's advancement has been unstoppable. She has become the plane master of the entire Crimson Starfield, and she is invincible within the Crimson Starfield."

At this point, Tianya showed a helpless expression.

"According to the Alliance records, she was definitely no more than a God-level being at first, but with the power of a Plane Lord, she gained a foothold and quickly grew stronger."

The universe is vast and boundless, and in every place, generations of outstanding individuals are creating their own legends.

Xu Yuan listened to all of this and was deeply moved.

The changes spanning tens of thousands of years sound so magnificent and grand.

It is a god-like being that drives the expansion of the dimensional plane, taking tens of thousands of years to occupy an entire star field and become a colossal entity that is feared by the surrounding universe.

The Crimson Mother's momentum looks like she's about to challenge that domain.

I don't know if she even had that hope.

"Fortunately, the Crimson Domain has made too many enemies. Although the Alliance has been distracted by this, it can still withstand the pressure," Tianya said. "The Alliance's biggest problem now lies with another enemy."

"Another enemy?" Lex looked at Tianya.

"Yes, that is the Heavenly Demon Realm. It is a vast plane, as powerful as our home planet. It has not expanded its star field, but it is boundless and has nurtured countless Heavenly Demons. They aim to devour the magic power of our mages and pose a great threat to the Alliance."

Lex's gaze sharpened instantly, and his pupils contracted.

Heavenly Demon?

What species is this?

Their purpose was to devour magical power.

It should be noted that a magician's magical power can also be considered as mental power.

Moreover, everything a magician possesses revolves around magic power, and absorbing magic power is a natural counter to magicians.

Bloodborne Star.

This is the closest inhabited planet to the Blood Demon No. 3 wormhole, and it is also a main planet under the Holy Heart Plane Magic Alliance, capable of supporting super-god-level magicians.

To break through to the level of a main god or even higher, one must return to the home planet to make the breakthrough.

Even though the entire plane is incredibly vast, and the Sacred Heart Law is imprinted throughout the entire star field, the truly prosperous place is still the mother planet, and the true core of origin is still gathered on the mother planet. Only there can support the breakthrough of a God-level being.

As a major planet, Blood Origin Star naturally has a branch of the Myriad Stars Merchant Guild.

Lex and Xu Yuan were at the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce branch at that moment.

Upon receiving the news, the headquarters of the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce also mobilized its resources within the alliance, quickly completing the identity verification and other procedures for Lex, and notifying the Wanxing branch of Blood Origin Star to bring the two back from the alliance garrison.

"These are the forbidden spells you requested." Lex scattered more than a dozen crystals.

More than a dozen crystals each emitted a different crystalline brilliance, and the fluctuations contained within them also had their own unique characteristics. These were inheritance crystals, which inherited forbidden spells.

Thanks.

"You're welcome. I'll need your help to reshape my physical body next," Lex said.

Xu Yuan looked puzzled.

"Are you sure you want to reshape your physical body?"

"Of course, I see an opportunity to become a god, so why not reshape my physical body?" Lex rolled his eyes.

If his will to rebuild his physical body wasn't firm when he first made the deal with Xu Yuan to have Xu Yuan send him back, now it is absolutely unwavering.

How could I possibly let go of a chance to break through to the level of a main god?

"You mean what I meant by inducing the formation of a dimension?"

"That's right."

Xu Yuan looked speechless.

"Didn't you ever consider how vast a system of forbidden spells is required for the creation of a plane? Since your Sacred Heart Plane hasn't perfected this path, how much effort would it take for you, as the first to try, to summarize and figure out a complete set of forbidden spells that can catalyze the creation of a plane? What if you can't find the most crucial forbidden spells? Are you going to try to comprehend them on your own?"
