Chapter 958

Mahayana Star

The words "blood" and "fire" are enough to describe the current Mahayana Star.

Hundreds of large city groups and thousands of smaller city groups are now caught in blood and fire.

Everywhere there is killing, everywhere there is blood.

The people’s and spies’ rebellion is about to be crushed because there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides. Even with Cao Ying’s protection, and having someone like Lv Junyu who has reached the Void level, and after years of preparing weapons, they are still not a match for the Buddhist sect. Their foundation of hundreds of thousands of years is no joke.

However, when the Blue Star army descended from the sky, the Buddhist sect still collapsed.

The remaining high monks of the Buddhist sect launched a tragic, suicidal charge at the army, but were ruthlessly crushed.

"Target: One hundred twenty-three temples. Break them."

Lin Jiang coldly ordered, and the Blue Star troops and Space Battleship were divided into dozens of teams, then they began to attack the temples on Mahayana Star, calling them out one by one.

The temples’ defenses were still very strong, but unfortunately, they lacked the maintenance of high monks, so they could only be broken, one after another.

Hundreds of thousands of robots were launched into space by the Space Mother Ship, spreading across the Mahayana Star like a swarm of ants. The supercomputer on the Space Mother Ship successfully connected with the supercomputer of Mahayana Star, accessed all the databases, and then began to eliminate the Buddhist cultivators in the databases.

One rebel after another from Mahayana Star was rescued. The hundreds of thousands of Blue Star personnel onboard the battleship comforted them with gentle words. This time, Lin Jiang brought along two hundred thousand political workers.

"Cao Ying is about to win. The true strength of the Buddha is stronger, but he cannot hold onto Mahayana Star anymore."

Liang Long said to Lin Jiang, as he saw the struggle between Cao Ying and the true Buddha. The true Buddha was becoming increasingly frustrated and was close to losing control of Mahayana Star bit by bit.

"Let Cao Ying divide a fragment of his spirit to come back."

Lin Jiang told Liang Long that he could not get involved in the war of the immortals.

Liang Long nodded, and soon after, Cao Ying’s form began to gather within the mothership.

"Hurry and absorb it; if you consume it, it will be yours."

Lin Jiang directly gave Cao Ying a storage bag, and Liang Long also received one; Lin Jiang provided Liang Long with about a hundred dao auras.

The Demon Queen, Li Qing and Lin Ying Lin Jiang are staying, but they are not here yet, so they cannot give anything.

In this battle, the gains in dao auras were immense; Lin Jiang and his team personally killed over a thousand skilled fighters, and they also seized more than a thousand dao auras from the Buddhist cultivators. Moreover, this battle was not led by the Heavenly Court, so the Heavenly Court had no reason to forcibly take them away.

After the battle, the Heavenly Court will definitely confiscate some, for various reasons, but Lin Jiang expects that he can keep at least sixty to seventy percent, which means over a thousand dao auras.

In ten days, the resistance from the Buddhist sect on Mahayana Star disappeared, as the remaining brave Buddhist cultivators were all killed, and the Buddhist cultivators on Mahayana Star chose to give up after Cao Ying absorbed three hundred dao auras.

He still has the option to give up now; if he waits any longer, he may lose that choice and could be forced to stay here.

"Taoist Friend Lin, we are ready to leave."

Ming’an and Lin Jiang said goodbye; they also plan to conquer a planet.

"Which planet caught your eye?"

"Fozang Star, the planet closest to Mahayana Star, about eighteen light-years away, so we will still be neighbors."

Ming’an said that they actually have the strength to occupy more powerful planets, but he thinks it is safer to rely on Blue Star for support and to help each other in the future.

"Fozang Star is not very strong, and there seem to be less than a hundred Buddhist cultivators above the arhat level. Do you need help?"

"Just send a few Space Fleets; you are busy right now too."

"Okay, I’ll give you ten fleets; that should be enough. If there are any problems, contact me right away."

Lin Jiang said that he was indeed quite busy and also needed to prepare for a counterattack from the Buddhist factions. Mahayana Star is the largest and most important territory of the Buddhist sect in the Tianbei Star Domain.

Ming’an left with his people, taking ten Space Fleets from Blue Star. Lin Jiang then ordered the start of post-war rebuilding for Mahayana Star.

"I have met Teacher Cao."

Lv Junyu received a meeting with the high-ranking officials of Blue Star and saw Cao Ying, where Lv Junyu paid his respects as a disciple.

Lv Junyu was not Cao Ying’s disciple, but his ancestors were among the first group of students at the cultivation academy, and Cao Ying had a fondness for them. He took good care of Lv Junyu’s ancestors, who died defending Blue Star in the war. Cao Ying even went to pay her respects. After that, generations of the Lu family received support from Blue Star, and the descendants of the Lu family regarded Cao Ying as their teacher.

A teacher is much friendlier than an ancestor.

"Descendants of Lu Guang, I didn’t expect you to grow so big."

Cao Ying nodded, thinking of her former students. Back then, not long after the recovery of spiritual energy, she went to the cultivation academy as a teacher. A group of spirited college students even tried to pursue her, but in the end, they were all beaten into submission by Cao Ying. Lu Guang was one of them, and she still had a deep impression of him.

"Lv Junyu, for the matters of Mahayana Star, you should receive the greatest credit. How should I reward you?"

"Teacher, Junyu seeks no reward, only to be able to rest in his hometown in the future."

Lv Junyu said he was tired. These past ten days had been more exhausting than anything else.

It was not the work that was tiring, but a weariness of the heart, for in these ten days, he had witnessed the deaths of many people, including his own Lu family descendants, colleagues, and friends.

Some died resisting the Buddhist sect, while others died supporting it, including some of his own descendants, whom he saw fall in battle for their support of the sect.

Even now, the Lu family has two different attitudes, and there are even more who support the Buddhist temple, because for hundreds of years, the Lu family has been part of the privileged class of Mahayana Star and has a very good relationship with the temple.

Lv Junyu understands very well that those who lean towards the temple will have to be removed, and he might even have to do it himself. How can he bear to harm his own descendants?

"You can be buried in your hometown, and you might have a chance to return one day, but not now. You know a lot about Mahayana Star, and I need you to help handle matters there."

"Ancestor, I…"

"I know what you are worried about. As a hero, you have special privileges. As long as the descendants of the Lu family do not have the blood of my Blue Star people on their hands, I mean right now, not in the past, they can all survive. I will arrange for them to live on other planets."

"Thank you, Ancestor. Junyu understands."

"Good, then go and get to work."

Lin Jiang waved his hand, sending Lv Junyu on his way. With someone like Lv Junyu, who knows the local situation, helping them, they could reduce the time it takes to control Mahayana Star.

Later, Lin Jiang met with the other spies who had stayed behind, including those from previous generations, comforting them, rewarding them, and giving them important tasks. Even those who have passed away had their descendants rewarded well. Lin Jiang was very familiar with winning people’s hearts.

The process of Blue Star receiving Mahayana Star went very smoothly. The visible power of the Buddha’s teachings has been completely uprooted, and Blue Star is more familiar with comforting and governing the people.

For example, because of the previous wars, countless people lost their homes, especially with the large destruction of food supplies. Many people are suffering from hunger. Blue Star directly took control of the warehouses in different places to manage the supplies. If that was not enough, they looked for some factories that were still in good condition, upgraded their technology, and used air to convert starch to produce large amounts of food, ensuring that no one would go hungry.

For people from different classes, Lin Jiang had different attitudes. For the working class, he needed to provide them with material support to ensure they had jobs, could earn wages, and that their safety was guaranteed. For scientists, he had to respect them spiritually, appreciate their talents, and provide them with some investment for research; then they would see him as a great leader.

As for the merchants, he needed to improve the laws, create a friendly business environment, and enhance social productivity, allowing them to make money and have better lives.

Lin Jiang has met with representatives from various social classes and conveyed their needs. In this way, Mahayana Star became more stable.

Days passed, and news of the great battle gradually arrived. The situation between the Buddhist teachings and the Heavenly Court became clearer, but the battle still made Lin Jiang frown as it was different from what he had expected.
