Chapter 964

In the year 10,400 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Yinli Star

Yinli Star is the closest planet to Yinfang Star, with a distance of only sixteen light-years. How close is this? It only takes thirty Transmigration and seventy Tao Achieving journeys for them to reach Yinfang Star through the Stargate they open.

Because of this, Yinli Star has become a stronghold against the Buddhist sects. The Heavenly Court has gathered many troops here, and many planets from the Tianbei Star Domain have sent their forces to defend this place.

Zhu Bin was also supported by a team sent by Lin Jiang. Zhu Bin is in charge of setting up a long-range warning system and a short-range defense system. He has laid down restriction formations and empty-space formations around Yinli Star to prevent sudden attacks from Buddhist cultivators.

After years of hard work, various projects are nearly finished, and Zhu Bin finally has some time to rest.

"The Heavenly Court is still too weak. The cost of defense is so high; if it were me, I would have sent these people to attack instead."

Zhu Bin joked as he looked at the defenses of Yinli Star.

The defenses of Yinli Star are in several layers. The outermost layer is the long-range warning system, which has detectors placed everywhere. Then, there’s the short-range defense system. Besides the formations, there are also a considerable number of Space Battleships, bought with funds from the Tianbei Star Domain and Blue Star.

Inside Yinli Star, there are many War Fortresses, filled with high-tech weapons, even dozens of nuclear weapons. They are prepared for when the Buddha Sect enters Yinli Star without having the means to deal with them.

The cost of this defense is very high, and the daily maintenance expenses are scary. If Zhu Bin were in charge of these matters, he would be reluctant to spend so much money, and it would be better to invest in the army instead, to fight back against Tianyuan Star Domain as soon as possible.

"Brother Zhu, you don’t understand, everyone is struggling."

Ming Xin said on the side, he was also summoned here for defense. After Canglan Star took over Fozang Star, it is now considered a force of Tianbei Star Domain.

"I know what you mean; I was just teasing a little."

Zhu Bin smiled; he was not foolish and understood what was happening.

In the previous battle, Tianbei Star Domain suffered heavy losses, with more than fifty percent of their experts fallen. These were powerful forces from various planets, and there are many small and medium sects across the planets as well.

So now, the sects do not dare to fight fiercely. If they were to exhaust their strength at the front lines, what would happen when the small sects on each planet rise up? This has happened before; in fact, such events are common in history. The decline of sects that have lasted for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years was often due to the wars that caused many deaths, allowing other sects to rise.

Therefore, now in Tianbei Star Domain, there is an understanding: they can fight hard, but they must ensure that their own positions remain stable while doing so. This way, they are fighting for themselves and not doing the work for others.

"Just knowing is enough, stop complaining."

"Ah, I’m so bored. I was thinking about connecting all the Star Roads in the Six Great Star Domains and then ascending through Transmigration. But now it seems far away."

Zhu Bin said that everyone has dreams, and he has one too. His dream is to connect all the Star Roads in the Six Great Star Domains, so everything would be perfect, and he could Transmigration. But now, it seems difficult.

"Brother Zhu, don’t lose hope. Once the issues in the Tianbei Star Domain are resolved and stabilized, the Star Road will surely reopen. By then, we can even bypass the Tianyuan Star Domain."

Ming Xin comforted, stating that the benefits of the Star Road are well known. His Canglan Star has also gained a lot from it, otherwise, his senior brother Ming’an wouldn’t have spent so much effort helping to coordinate. They have earned quite a bit over the years.

Qiyuan Star, once the largest planet of Heavenly Court in the Tianyuan Star Domain, has now become the realm of the Buddhist sect.

After more than a hundred years, the influence of the Immortal Sect has almost disappeared from Qiyuan Star. The Buddhist sect has plenty of experience and uses straightforward methods; they just need enough Buddhist cultivators to forcibly guide the beings of the entire planet.

"Now the Tianyuan Star Domain has completely become the domain of the Buddhist sect, but we have not achieved final victory. This is the Star Chart of the Tianbei Star Domain; Mahayana Star has been seized by the forces of Heavenly Court’s Tiannan Star Domain, and the biggest variable in claiming Mahayana Star is this battle’s unexpected factor, Blue Star."

"The Blue Star camp includes Mahayana Star and has a total of six planets and six immortals. Among them, Blue Star has the greatest influence. They are different from the traditional Heavenly Court forces because they have developed technology."

"What exactly technology is, we still don’t quite understand, but there’s no denying that technological weapons are very powerful. Their Space Battleships have shone in every battle with our Buddhist sect, and countless Buddhist cultivators have fallen to Blue Star."

"According to the information we received, the five Buddhist worlds in the Tiannan Star Domain were also lost because of Blue Star. Here is a video of the Space Battleship in action; you can take a look."

During the high-level meeting at Qiyuan Star, many Buddhist leaders gathered. A Bodhisattva held a holographic projector, displaying information about Blue Star.

They are no longer in the dark about technology and Blue Star. There are many technological items, some captured from the battlefield and some from the Buddhist Planet in Tianbei Star Domain. The Buddhist Planet in Tianbei Star Domain is not just developing technology in Mahayana Star; they are all involved, but Mahayana Star has developed it the best.

After watching the video, all the leaders fell silent because Blue Star’s tactics are still unsolvable. They use Space Battleships for long-range attacks and cultivators as close-range shields. When the war starts, the Buddhist sect must deal with the Space Battleships; they cannot be allowed to bomb at will.

"Senior Brother, how can we crack Blue Star’s technological weapons? If we can’t find a way, our future battles will suffer great losses."

"Mahayana Star has actually given the answer: technology against technology."

"But Mahayana Star was defeated, wasn’t it?"

"Mahayana Star has indeed been defeated, but that does not mean we took the wrong path. Technological civilization still has many good aspects. The information from the many Buddhist worlds in the Tianbei Star Domain has already been sent over. In the past few centuries, the strength of the Buddhist community in the Tianbei Star Domain has increased by several times, even dozens of times. Space Battleships are just one expression of technological civilization; they are not everything."

"So, what you mean, brother, is that we still need to develop technology?"

"Yes, because I haven’t figured out how to break their Space Battleship tactics. We lost in every simulation. What we can do is learn from their strengths."

The person said that over the years he had studied technological civilization deeply, and he understood its impressive aspects. They had also captured the teleportation array from Yinfang Star. Although it was badly damaged, they had obtained the basic information. Just a cross-border teleportation array is something they desire greatly.

"Brother, we don’t know how to use those technological weapons."

"I know, none of us do. The Tianbei Star Domain has accumulated a large number of technological talents. I plan to bring them back. Also, we can infiltrate the world of the Heavenly Court. Give us time, and we will do better than Mahayana Star, not losing to that Blue Star."

The person said he was very confident that whatever Mahayana Star could achieve, they could do better. Even if the Buddhist community of the Tianbei Star Domain had told him that technological civilization and practicing Immortal Language are not the same.

Many high-ranking officials whispered to each other. Some agreed, while naturally, some opposed. These officials were not completely ignorant of technological civilization; they clearly knew what negative effects it could bring, and that was their concern.

In response, the Bodhisattva said nothing. Among the eighteen planets of the Tianyuan Star Domain, those who are willing to develop technology can join, and those who are not can leave it be.

The meeting ended, and the leaders of six planets left. They refused to develop a technological civilization, while the others stayed behind to discuss how to advance technology.

To develop technology, we need information and people. The information is simple; we can go to the Tianbei Star Domain. The Buddhist worlds there are all relying on them to survive, so they cannot refuse this request.

As for the people, that is a bit more difficult. They still need true Buddhas to communicate. There are many true Buddhas in the Buddhist world of the Tianbei Star Domain, and they will help ask those planets for people.

Their request is not too big; each planet only needs to contribute one hundred thousand talented individuals in technology. With this as a foundation, they will send people to learn. With the intelligence of cultivators, they believe learning will not be too hard, as they know that this technology was developed by mortals. If mortals can do it, can’t they?

"Both sides fought fiercely, and everyone was tired and suffered heavy losses. Without four to five hundred years to recover, no one will start another great war. Four to five hundred years is completely enough."

In the end, the Bodhisattva left a message: based on the Buddhist foundation in the Tianbei Star Domain, several hundred more years of development should be sufficient.
