High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 1001 - 463: Heroic Sacrifice! Advancing and Retreating with Civilization (Double-Length)

"For the sake of my family, for the sake of my descendants, I had no choice but to stand on the same side as the Chu Family."

"But now." The Wang Family Demi-God said calmly, "We no longer have any way out."

Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

Among the older generation of Demigods on Blue Star, those like the Zhou Family Demi-God and the Chu Family Demi-God were, in the end, a minority.

Admittedly, in normal times, they cared more about the families behind them.

But when it came to matters of civilization’s survival or extinction, these great rights and wrongs, they saw more clearly than anyone.

"Saying all this is actually also to tell myself."

"This old man, Wang Xiaotian, is no coward who clings to life and fears death!" The Wang Family Demi-God’s eyes were icy cold. "Blue Star is my root as well. I was born on Blue Star, I grew up on Blue Star, and now I should naturally guard Blue Star!"

"This old man swears to live and die with Blue Star!"

"Swear to live and die with Blue Star!"

"Swear to live and die with Blue Star!" The many Ninth Break Powerhouses below roared in unison.

Most of the Ninth Break Powerhouses in the great hall were of an elderly generation, just as the Wang Family Demi-God had said, with half a foot already stepping into the coffin.

If they were willing, they could completely enter the selection list and become one of humanity’s fire seeds.

But they were willing to stay!

To live and die with Blue Star!

And as they shouted in unison, the scarlet light above their heads also grew to its peak, turning into a mighty torrent that shot into the sky.

The calamity of bloodlight was like war smoke!

This was a sign of impending great catastrophe.

It was also the determination of these Blue Star Powerhouses to prove their resolve with death!

"You know full well this is a certain-death situation, and you still choose this?" Jiang Ye suddenly laughed.

In the past, he had always felt that he was fighting alone, that in the slaughter of the Civilization Struggle, in braving Huanglong alone to seek help... all of it, as if he was the only one desperately fighting for the continuation of their civilization.

But at this moment.

Jiang Ye suddenly realized he was not alone!

Even these Extraordinary Families, even these Demigods standing at the very pinnacle of Blue Star, had not lost their blood and courage, and likewise possessed the resolve to live and die with their civilization!

This gave rise in Jiang Ye’s heart to a complex emotion... his various efforts had not been in vain.

A civilization like Blue Star’s was worth him risking his life to defend!

"Jiang Ye."

"You protect those ten million people." Qi Tian said in a deep voice, "As for Blue Star, leave it to us."

Yet as soon as he said this.

Jiang Ye shook his head and said, "I’ve already made up my mind to stay and guard Blue Star with you."

"What?"

Everyone was stunned at these words.

"No."

"Jiang Ye, how can you stay with us?"

"You must stay with those ten million people. Blue Star, you cannot remain here." Qi Tian and the Li Family’s Demi-God were all greatly shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

But Jiang Ye just shook his head and smiled. "Everyone, I’ve already made up my mind."

"I already have a method that might be able to block the God."

Hearing this, Qi Tian and the others were all taken aback.

A method to block a God? What method?

The next second, they saw Jiang Ye wave his palm, and a light screen projection appeared.

"This is the ’Hundred-Billion Spirit-Refining Formation’."

"It can gather the power of over a hundred billion people, and thereby unleash strength far beyond what one possesses." Jiang Ye said.

Quickly.

He laid out the formation’s effects and side effects in full.

Of course, as for the matter that if the assault on the God failed, it would damage his foundation and cut his chances to Ascend to Divinity by fifty percent, Jiang Ye concealed that.

After all, if Qi Tian and the others knew this, they absolutely would not agree to Jiang Ye activating this formation.

Soon.

"It can resist a God?"

"The Hundred-Billion Spirit-Refining Formation... there’s actually such a wondrous formation in this world?"

"Too marvelous." Qi Tian and the Li Family’s Demi-God were full of admiration.

But what followed immediately was a heavy solemnity.

"If the Formation Master is injured, then the hundred billion people are all harmed as well?"

"Doesn’t that mean that the one hundred billion people chosen all face the risk of falling?" Qi Tian and the others’ expressions grew extremely grave.

They all understood what Jiang Ye meant.

From several hundred billion people, pick out one hundred billion!

Those one hundred billion, once chosen, were being prepared for sacrifice.

How to pick?

Who will pick?

All of it was a problem.

"This..."

"Jiang Ye, are you sure you want to do this?" The Li Family’s Demi-God couldn’t help but say, "That’s a hundred billion people."

The other Demigods also wore extremely grave expressions.

Blue Star’s several hundred billion people were, strictly speaking, six hundred billion.

One-sixth—it was equivalent to taking one person out of every family!

Facing the Li Family’s Demi-God’s question, Jiang Ye said calmly, "Apart from this plan, do you have any other way to deal with the God?"

Silence.

The many Demigods looked at each other, and in the end could only let out helpless sighs.

Indeed, they had none!

This was the original sin of being weak.

"Everyone, rest assured."

"A hundred billion people dropping dead on the spot is the worst-case scenario." Jiang Ye said in a low voice. "I will do my best to ensure that this situation does not occur."

"What’s more, with all of you entering the formation, our chances of victory will increase by another ten percent." Jiang Ye said.

This was the truth.

The more Powerhouses entered the formation, the stronger the formation would become.

Of course, the backlash from a failed assault on the God would also be greater.

But that was something to worry about later; Jiang Ye naturally would not tell them.

"Fine."

"Then we’ll follow your plan." Qi Tian said in a deep voice on the spot. "How do you intend to pick them?"

A hundred billion people were destined to be a difficult choice.

With so many people on Blue Star, they might not all be willing to enter the formation.

What should they do then? They couldn’t force them into the formation, could they?

"Leave it to me." Jiang Ye said. "First send those ten million people over. If in the end we still can’t protect Blue Star, they will be the final fire seeds of the Blue Star Civilization."

"Alright."

"Those ten million people have already gathered at the Federation headquarters." Qi Tian said. "Come with me."

With those words, his figure vanished on the spot.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye likewise took a step and quickly disappeared.

...

Only a short while later.

At the Federation headquarters, atop an incomparably vast platform.

A dense sea of people surged; the more than ten million people who had been selected were all gathered within.

Jiang Ye swept his gaze over them and nodded slightly.

Within these ten million people, he saw many familiar figures. His parents, Jiang Ting—they were all among them.

But just then.

"Hm?"

"Something’s wrong." Jiang Ye suddenly thought of something. "There’s one person missing."

"Who?" Qi Tian asked in puzzlement.

"She’s not on the list." Jiang Ye shook his head. "Alliance Hierarch, I may have to use a little privilege. Is that alright?"

"Of course." Qi Tian smiled.

The treasure that could contain ten million people belonged to Jiang Ye in the first place.

Hearing this, Jiang Ye nodded at once, took a step forward, and vanished on the spot.

Only a dozen seconds later.

"Buzz~" The void trembled, and Jiang Ye’s figure appeared again.

Only this time, beside him was an additional girl in white, incomparably beautiful.

"And this is?" Qi Tian looked puzzled. In his impression, he didn’t know that Jiang Ye had any prior dealings with this girl.

Moreover, her talent was quite average.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been left off the list.

"Her name is Chen Xiaoyu." Jiang Ye smiled. "She’s a little lass I took a liking to in the Chen Family."

"So that’s it." Qi Tian nodded slightly. Although this girl’s talent was average, her looks were exceptionally outstanding.

That Jiang Ye had taken a fancy to her was not surprising.

At this moment.

"Hoo!" Jiang Ye waved his palm, and a massive vortex appeared.

"Xiaoyu, go in." Jiang Ye said gently.

"Yes... Chief." Chen Xiaoyu hurriedly nodded. Although her heart was filled with doubt, she still remembered Jiang Ye’s earlier instructions.

Whatever he said, she would just do.

Quickly, Chen Xiaoyu stepped into the vortex.

"Whoosh~" Jiang Ye swept his great hand, and an invisible force descended, enveloping those ten million figures.

The next second, he transferred them all into the White Dragon Royal Court.

Of course, these people would only be fixed in a patch of void space and would not be able to touch the core functions of the White Dragon Royal Court.

"Done." Jiang Ye let out a long breath.

Only then did Qi Tian finally speak. "How do you plan to choose those hundred billion people?"

"Leave it to me." Jiang Ye said, his expression also turning grim.

Because what was coming next was undoubtedly an even greater trial.
