Chapter 959

In the year 10,276 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Mahayana Star.

The Star Domain war that lasted nearly a year was completely over. This battle had many twists and turns, truly dazzling everyone.

First, the Buddhist Sect Master launched an attack, with the Tianbei Star Domain holding back, while the Tianyuan Star Domain focused on the main offense. Everything went smoothly, and all the Heavenly Court planets in the Tianyuan Star Domain were taken down, while the Tianbei Star Domain successfully carried out its strategy to hold back the enemy.

After that, the Heavenly Court doubled down, sending troops to the Tiannan Star Domain, defeating the main forces of the Tianbei Star Domain. Then they split into two groups, with Blue Star and Canglan Star pursuing the Buddhist forces of the Tianbei Star Domain, while the rest supported Yinfang Star.

The rise of Blue Star quickly wiped out all the forces of Mahayana Star, capturing it, while Canglan Star took over Fozang Star, helping the Heavenly Court regain some face and reduce their losses.

However, Yinfang Star fell, and the Buddhist forces of the Tianyuan Star Domain were prepared to give up their attack on Yinfang Star after facing fierce resistance from the Tianbei Star Domain and seeing the reinforcements arrive from the Tiannan Star Domain. They felt it was unnecessary, as they had already achieved much.

But when they heard that Mahayana Star had fallen, the Buddha Master suddenly gave a strict order to capture Yinfang Star. Therefore, both sides erupted into battle once again, with more and more troops being deployed, leading to Yinfang Star changing hands several times.

In the end, the Buddhist forces occupied Yinfang Star, while the Heavenly Court, unable to bear the losses, retreated.

Unexpectedly, the Buddhists became more aggressive, not only capturing Yinfang Star but also wanting to attack the next planet. The Heavenly Court had no choice but to fight desperately, and the troops from the Blue Star on Mahayana Star and Canglan Star on Fozang Star received news and prepared to support.

Just as both sides were engaging in a fierce battle, the Buddha Master and the Heavenly Emperor called for a stop almost simultaneously. Both sides were confused but had no choice but to cease fighting.

So currently, the situation is that the Heavenly Court has completely taken over the Tiannan Star Domain, while the Buddhist forces have completely occupied the Tianyuan Star Domain. In the Tianbei Star Domain, the Heavenly Court lost Yinfang Star but gained Mahayana Star and Fozang Star. Overall, the Heavenly Court still suffered losses in this battle, as they originally had seven planets in the Tianyuan Star Domain.

However, when it comes to the future, the Heavenly Court has its advantages. The Mahayana Star has been taken over, and the Buddhist forces have lost their support in the Tianbei Star Domain. More than half of the Buddhist planets in the Tianbei Star Domain have fallen under the Heavenly Court’s siege and will be swallowed soon. This is why the Buddhist forces desperately want to take Yinfang Star; at least they can keep half of their territory.

········

"The Buddhist forces and the Heavenly Court are not fighting fiercely at Yinfang Star, which means a third party’s power has intervened, and both sides are wary now."

"A third party? Is it the demon race or another demon race?"

Hearing Cao Ying say this, Lin Jiang quickly asked back. He knows about the demon race and the other demon race, which both have strength comparable to the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist forces.

"We don’t know the details yet. The demon race and the other demon race are very far from us, possibly over ten thousand light-years away. The closest to them is the Tiancheng Star Domain."

"Has the Heavenly Court blocked the news?"

"Yes, the specific reason is unknown, but the Heavenly Court has blocked information, and even Li Canghai doesn’t know."

"It seems the demon race and the other demon race are not easy to deal with."

"It was never easy to deal with, just look at the Demon Queen. If not for the technological weapons you created, we wouldn’t have much advantage over the demon race."

"As for the demon race, how much do you know?"

"Not much, I only know that the demon race is very powerful, and their strength is not evenly spread; some are surprisingly strong, and they focus a lot on individual strength."

"I have a feeling we will eventually have to confront the demon race sooner or later; we cannot avoid it."

Lin Jiang said that the Tiannan Star Domain is a pretty remote corner of the Heavenly Court, and its strength is also quite weak, with more than ten planets that are relatively weak and have fewer resources.

"If we take over Mahayana Star, we will have the chance to confront them. Mahayana Star is really excellent. By the way, have Li Qing and the Demon Queen clearly divided their interests?"

"Yes, it’s clear. We will dominate Mahayana Star and share some resources with them in other places."

Lin Jiang said that when it comes to Mahayana Star, he feels wide awake.

Compared to Blue Star, Lingjing Star, Lingqing Star, Lingyun Star, and Jiang Star, the advantages of Mahayana Star can overpower them all; in fact, those five planets cannot compare to Mahayana Star at all.

First of all, Mahayana Star is huge, almost one hundred and twenty times larger than Blue Star, and a little bit bigger than Lingfa Star and Canglan Star. In addition, it has many resources. The Buddhist sect can train eighty or ninety Bodhisattvas and over a thousand Arhats on Mahayana Star, so it’s easy to imagine how rich these resources are.

Lin Jiang was almost certain that since the Buddhist sect could achieve this, they could surely do even better. Taking control of Mahayana Star now seems like a very wise decision.

"That’s great! In this battle, we are the biggest winners. However, the Tianbei Star Domain still needs to pay for our military expenses, including the dao auras. I have set aside a hundred for you. You can take Mahayana Star."

Cao Ying said this, feeling that it was time for Lin Jiang to Transmigration. She couldn’t trust anyone else with Mahayana Star, and she had to keep a low profile, as she couldn’t take over this planet herself.

"I can take Mahayana Star, but don’t reserve the dao auras for me. You should absorb them yourself. Among us, our powers cannot be too equal; we must have a leader. This will benefit everyone."

Lin Jiang said, "Only by being strong will people truly respect you. Otherwise, it will only make them feel inflated."

Li Qing and the others are far behind me. They can at most absorb one or two hundred dao auras, while I have absorbed nearly a thousand. In the Tiannan Star Domain, besides Li Canghai, no one is stronger than me.

"I also found out that without a major battle, it takes them an average of over ten thousand years to absorb just one dao aura."

"Is it really that long?"

"Well, Tao Achieving is not the same as sitting in meditation, and accidental deaths are very rare. You have to reach the Transmigration Stage first, and only if Transmigration fails will you die. However, it seems that since we entered the stars, the number of wars has increased. Even Li Canghai said that there weren’t any major battles for a hundred thousand years, and in just a few thousand years, we’ve had several."

"Um, are we talking about our comet?"

Lin Jiang responded with disbelief, saying this had nothing to do with them. Aside from attacking Lingfa Star as a retaliation, weren’t all the other battles started by the Buddhist factions? If anyone should be blamed, it should be the Buddhas, okay?

"Let’s not talk about that anymore. There are too many things to handle. I still need to go to the Heavenly Court to see how they are dealing with the current situation. This chaotic state is too unstable."

"Alright, let’s each get busy."

Lin Jiang nodded; he was also very busy.

Surrounding Mahayana Star, the Buddhist forces are still watching closely. The Tianbei Star Domain is also unhappy about Blue Star’s actions this time. Blue Star must have enough resources to establish itself on Mahayana Star.

Almost a year has passed, and the aftermath of the war on Mahayana Star has been mostly cleaned up. This battle caused great losses for Mahayana Star; at least billions of people died due to the conflict, with over a hundred cities completely destroyed and hundreds of thousands of cities damaged. Only a few lucky ones were unharmed.

The Buddhist forces are still in the process of being cleared out. Decades of foundation cannot be completely removed in just a few months. However, Blue Star is not too worried about this because they have ways to solve it.

This method is a way to greatly reduce problems in productivity. Lin Jiang is mainly in charge of managing Mahayana Star and will focus most of his energy on it, without any limits in technology.

So, as soon as they arrived, they upgraded the technology of Mahayana Star, and the abundance of resources could solve most of Mahayana Star’s problems.

At least for these past few months, aside from the Buddhist community, people from various levels have benefited, and their spirits are still high.

"Ancestor Lin"

Zhu Bin greeted Lin Jiang; he also came from another planet.

"When will the teleportation array of Mahayana Star be ready?"

"It depends on where it leads. If it’s a teleportation array connecting Mahayana Star directly to Blue Star, it’s tough because the distance is over three thousand light years. If it’s connecting directly with Taibai Star, I just need ten years, or maybe even less—five or six years. The team and materials are already prepared."

"I wonder if Taibai Star would be willing, and since we need to borrow their route, we would be limited by them."

"Ancestor, Taibai Star suffered huge losses in that battle. I heard their population lost seventy percent, and their material losses are countless. If we offer them great profits, they will definitely agree. Plus, we have always maintained the cross-border teleportation array, so we don’t need to worry about being limited by others. Who knows how long it will take them to be able to create a cross-border teleportation array themselves?"

"You are right. I will let Cao Ying communicate with Taibai Star in person. You will complete the teleportation array within five years. I have prepared a population of fifty million for immigration from Blue Star. Once the immigrants arrive, Mahayana Star will be stable."

Lin Jiang said that these fifty million immigrants had been prepared before their departure, covering all social classes in Blue Star, especially the elite class. For example, over a million excellent teachers from the Blue Star education system were recruited, and the Spiritual Energy Research Institute also planned to bring its best staff. Cao Wang will come personally to oversee everything.

These fifty million immigrants are all elites. Once they arrive and spend some time integrating into the society of Mahayana Star, controlling various fields, then Blue Star’s hold over Mahayana Star will be secure.
