Chapter 821: The Heavenly Gods and Buddhas

In the 7820th year of the Blue Star Xia calendar, in the Unknown Star Domain

Twelve Sea-crossing Arks were flying swiftly through the starry sky. Lingjing Star originally had two Sea-crossing Arks, and now, with gathered resources, they built ten more, totaling twelve, bringing with them millions of Buddhist cultivators.

On each Sea-crossing Ark, there is a great Buddha, with hundreds of thousands of Buddhist disciples sitting below, all chanting scriptures. Countless spiritual energies are infused into the statues, making them shine brilliantly, and on both sides of the Buddha, there are Arhats or Bodhisattvas bestowing blessings.

The Sea-crossing Arks do not fly in a straight line; instead, they jump, sometimes disappearing from one spot and then appearing far away. Sometimes, they even cross an entire star system, seeming to defy any pattern.

In reality, this is not the case. The Buddhist sect’s Stargate Secret Technique requires signal guidance, and their signal is the initial octahedron, a treasure of their secret refining that can detect the surroundings and also serves as the signal for their Stargate Secret Technique. With these signals, they can successfully use the Stargate Secret Technique to jump.

"Beep, beep, beep…"

When the Buddhist sect’s Sea-crossing Ark appeared in the outer Star Domain area of Cape III, dozens of detectors immediately sensed this scene and reported back to the survival base of Cape III.

"What on earth is this?"

Sitting in Cape III, Shiyi was stunned because in the video from the Cape III base, he did not see the Sea-crossing Ark. Instead, he saw an enormous statue of Buddha, at least tens of thousands of meters tall, like a celestial body.

"Beep, beep, beep…"

Without hesitation, Shiyi immediately triggered the alarm. The alarm first beeped a few times, then the sound became deafening and was sent back to Blue Star in real time.

"Space Fleet, assemble!"

"Intercept the enemy! All attacking Space Battleships, aircraft, and detectors, launch the attack!"

Shiyi kept giving orders, and the Space Battleships roaming in outer space quickly started to gather, while some aircraft and detectors that were too far away launched the attack first.

But without exception, these attacks posed no threat to the Sea-crossing Ark at all.

"Shiyi, this is Lin Jiang. What is happening?"

"Old Ancestor, the situation is unclear. Twelve giant Buddha statues have appeared in the western Star Domain of Cape III, each at least ten thousand meters tall. The detectors cannot see the internal situation. Artificial intelligence assesses that a large-scale attack by Buddhist cultivators is coming."

"Get ready for battle; the first group will arrive within half an hour."

"Yes, ancestor."

Shiyi nodded. The Cape III region had half of Blue Star’s Space Fleet, made up of five Space Mother Ships. Each fleet had nearly a hundred warships and various other aircraft, while Blue Star only had three fleets.

Inside Blue Star, Lin Jiang also raised the highest alert. The whole Blue Star began to mobilize, and almost all cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above were gathering and quickly heading to the eight teleportation arrays of Blue Star. The other end of the teleportation arrays led to the Lunar Base, where they would be transferred.

"Uncle, I will lead the team to Cape III first."

"Little Ying, be careful; I’ll be there soon."

Lin Jiang nodded. This was a pre-planned strategy. Cao Ying would represent the human race and be the first to enter the battlefield, while Lin Jiang would stay back.

"Blue Star’s guards, three fleets, move to the battlefield immediately, fly at full speed."

"Blue Star Alliance Headquarters, this is Lin Jiang. Activate mobilization immediately. Combat personnel must return quickly, and logistics personnel should open the supply warehouses to send combat supplies to Cape III."

"Huaxia Official, the battle has begun. You must immediately start a nationwide mobilization, keep a close watch on battle information, activate the protective shields for major cities, and send small cities into the mountains and underground shelters…"

"Cao Wang, this is Lin Jiang. Gather your research team; you are our last reserve. If we run out of strength, you can move when the time is right…"

Lin Jiang keeps issuing commands and personally supervises every part of the operation. A great battle is upon them. Despite numerous drills, many unexpected events are sure to happen, including cowardice at the last minute.

At the Demon God Temple, the Demon Queen stands in front of the teleportation array, watching groups of Demon Kings enter it. The Shenwu Demon Emperor and Fire Scale Demon Emperor are the first batch.

"Demon Queen, we are leaving."

"Take care, Demon Emperors. I will arrive shortly. This battle is crucial for the survival of our demon race. I hope you will bravely fight the enemy."

"Demon Queen, don’t worry. The demon race is no weaker than the human race."

The two Demon Emperors said, understanding well that the demon race has no future if they do not secure a survival planet. They would be suppressed to death by Huaxia because they could never develop technology comparable to Huaxia’s. Thus, winning the war and obtaining a survival planet is their last hope.

The Demon Queen also nodded at them, and then the teleportation array opened. A large group of Demon Kings disappeared, followed by a second batch. Meanwhile, in various territories of the demon race, many more Demon Kings rushed to the call, all afraid to disobey the orders of the Demon God Temple.

On the Ying Continent, Li Qing and the others were also beside the teleportation array. Outside the teleportation array, flying machines were landing, piloted by skilled individuals from various places on the Ying Continent.

"Master, we have more than half the people. Do we really want to go?"

Zheng Yi said to Li Qing, as the skilled people on the Ying Continent gathered quickly.

"We must go. The demon race believes in Huaxia, so we must believe too. Like the demon race, we have no way out on Blue Star. The existence of Huaxia blocks all our paths to development."

Li Qing said, which was something the experts from the Ying Continent had told her many times.

On Blue Star, with Huaxia present, all other great powers are blocked from progress. Huaxia is incredibly strong. For great powers to develop technology and industry, they need a sufficient market to grow, but Blue Star has closed that path. Without industry and technology, relying solely on cultivators has proven to be unworkable.

Because the level of Immortal Language cultivation on Blue Star cannot take them out of the solar system, they must rely on technology, so they have no second option besides cooperating with Huaxia.

"I understand. The two Martial Uncles have already left. Master, you take the lead."

"No, you take the lead. I will lead the team. Zheng Yi, be smarter."

Li Qing pensively patted Zheng Yi on the shoulder and then stepped onto the teleportation array.

·········

In the Cape III Planet Star Domain, Kong Yan and other high-ranking members of Lingjing Star had gathered, all great Bodhisattvas, each using their eyesight skills to watch the flying machines that appeared.

"Senior Brother Kong Yan, it seems the Blue Star human race wants to fight us here."

"If we activate the Stargate again, can we go directly to Blue Star?"

"It’s difficult; the enemy will surely try to stop us. We might need to activate it two or three times."

"We cannot fight in the void; it’s not good for the lower disciples. Let’s activate the Stargate once more, go to the so-called Cape III Planet, quickly defeat the Blue Star human race there, and then head to Blue Star."

Bodhisattva Kong Yan said, this time he brought millions of Buddhist cultivators with him, with each having at least the strength of a mage, equivalent to the Golden Core Stage of a cultivator. It represented ninety-nine percent of Lingjing Star’s power, while the Golden Core Stage faced great limitations in space.

"Yes, Senior Brother Kong Yan."

The orders were quickly sent to each Sea-crossing Ark, and the twelve Sea-crossing Arks began to work together to open the Stargate.

"No need to wait for orders, fire, fire!"

Shiyi also saw the enormous Stargate and watched a giant Buddha statue walk into it, instantly shouting in excitement.

The leading Space Battleship launched an attack in an instant, using electromagnetic cannons, particle cannons, Spiritual Cannons, lasers, and various other weapons began to strike.

"Boom, boom…"

However, these attacks did not destroy the Stargate.

"Brother Shiyi, look quickly, the Stargate has appeared, and they are heading towards Cape III Planet!"

"Oh no, turn around, hurry turn around, Space Battleship, come back!"

Shiyi was stunned, the Space Battleship was rapidly flying away, while the enemy was right at their doorstep?

"The ground-based cannon, turn the barrel and bombard the Stargate."

Shiyi quickly adjusted the orders, as Cape III Planet still had nearby defense forces. He immediately turned the barrel to fire at the Stargate.

The first Sea-crossing Ark was struck forcefully, causing the light of the Buddha to scatter, and some low-level Buddhist cultivators were killed by the impact.

"Senior Brother Kong Yan, the enemy has changed direction."

"Leave three Sea-crossing Arks behind to eliminate the enemy. We will continue our jump to Blue Star. The enemy is prepared, and we must not be led by their tactics."

Kong Yan said, looking serious. It seemed the enemy was ready for a decisive battle, so they had to disrupt their plans rather than follow them.

Meanwhile, on Blue Star, Lin Jiang received the news that the enemy was no longer planning to fight in space, and he immediately halted the teleportation.

"Attention, everyone. This is Lin Jiang. The enemy’s battle rhythm has disrupted our plans. There is no need for the teleportation array at Blue Star. Cultivators at other transmission nodes should stop. Space Fleet, halt and return to Blue Star…"

Lin Jiang quickly adjusted the strategy, which was actually part of the plan. After all, the enemy was not foolish; they would not obediently follow Blue Star’s script in battle. They had to act at the right time.

Lin Jiang looked at the urgent messages in front of him, waiting for the enemy to appear; a great battle was about to begin.
