The battle between Lin Yu and Da Fantian concluded with Lin Yu's victory.
This news spread with incredible speed across all realms.
Among these realms were worlds no weaker than Da Fantian's. When their leaders heard the news, they were all stunned.
Their first reaction was disbelief. After all, Da Fantian was a Lord God-level being, and there were thousands of super worlds with such entities. Could a human from the newly established Lord God Realm, Blue Star, truly contend with Da Fantian single-handedly?
It sounded like a tall tale.
However, regardless of whether they believed it or not, the truth of the news continued to reach their ears.
"Could it be true?" they wondered, their conviction wavering.
Considering the real possibility of this matter, they dared not underestimate it and personally investigated.
Instantly, they gasped in unison, shocked by the strength of this human race.
One God King exclaimed, "The humans of Blue Star have boundless potential. If they can be developed into believers, then..."
He became excited at the thought.
The potential of the human race was fully displayed in the battle against Da Fantian.
Although only Lin Yu exhibited extraordinary strength, who knew if there was a second Lin Yu among the humans?
While this possibility was extremely low, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Therefore, even God King-level powerhouses dared not ignore the potential of the human race.
Thus, the powerhouses of all realms classified the human race as a species with immense potential.
An Immortal Emperor nodded, "With such potential, we must not make enemies. When the time is right, we should send envoys to establish friendly relations. I believe the human race will surely have a place in the myriad realms in the future!"
Other powerhouses of the same caliber nodded in agreement, holding similar thoughts.
"Esteemed ones, let us depart!"
"Let's go!"
The thoughts of the realm powerhouses withdrew.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, the entire Blue Star experienced an unusual calm.
Da Fantian did not retaliate further, nor did any envoys arrive from other realms. It seemed everyone was waiting for Da Fantian's reaction.
Another three days passed.
The fervor surrounding Lin Yu's battle with Da Fantian not only failed to subside but seemed to be escalating.
Countless beings were focused on this matter. Six days had passed, and Da Fantian had not reacted in any way, leading many to believe that Da Fantian was becoming a coward.
At this moment.
Wujing City.
This city was a gathering place for major powerhouses from various realms.
It was a colossal city built by the Wujing Realm, attracting many powerhouses for trade due to its neutral stance.
In this city, many individuals were either sitting in teahouses or on mountaintops, gathering in small groups to discuss the recent major events.
And Lin Yu's victory over Da Fantian was the most significant event on Blue Star recently.
They engaged in discussions, sharing the intelligence they had acquired, making the atmosphere quite lively.
"Esteemed ones, I learned that Da Fantian's Bodhisattvas and Arhats all perished at Lin Yu's hands. The Undying Buddha is now isolated. Is he perhaps plotting something?"
"The Undying Buddha's realm is too high to enter Blue Star; otherwise, it would face fierce backlash. Even the Undying Buddha would find it difficult to resist. I believe he will not force his way onto Blue Star."
"Figures at the Undying Buddha's level have lived for too long. Who knows how many hidden means they possess?"
"I heard that the Undying Buddha seems to be creating life."
"Oh, I've heard something similar. Do you think it's feasible?"
"I think it's highly feasible," a black-robed youth asserted confidently.
Everyone turned to look at him. He was a red-haired youth in black robes, with an extraordinary demeanor, as if he were a deity traveling the mortal world.
However, they were not surprised, for everyone present was comparable to a deity.
There were many whose demeanor was even more extraordinary than the youth's.
"Esteemed Daoist, could you elaborate?"
The youth nodded upon hearing this. "I heard of a technique that allows one to seal a portion of their own power within a temporary physical body and self-destruct within the Lord God Realm, killing enemies hidden there through a mutual destruction method."
Everyone present listened thoughtfully.
Many had heard of this method, but due to its extreme rarity, no one had ever witnessed it.
The principle of this method was simple: create a powerful physical body, seal a portion of one's power within it, and then manipulate the body to self-destruct in the Lord God Realm.
A physical body sealed with God King-level power, upon self-destruction, would be impossible for beings in the Lord God Realm to resist, resulting in almost certain death.
The drawback of this method was the depletion of one's own power, requiring a period of rest to recover.
However, if Da Fantian, the supreme being of the Undying Buddha, truly had no other recourse, the possibility of using this method was high.
Everyone gasped.
"I feel that the Undying Buddha will definitely employ this method."
"I have the same feeling. After all, the Undying Buddha follows the path of faith. His reputation has been damaged, his believers are dwindling, and his incense offerings are decreasing. In the long run, he will undoubtedly be far surpassed by other powerhouses of the same level."
"We cannot stay here. We should return quickly. Blue Star is about to experience another major event."
"It's truly vexing. The heaven-opening treasures of Blue Star are scattered everywhere, yet no one seeks them. Instead, the human race's popularity remains undiminished, attracting the attention of powerhouses from all realms."
"If the Undying Buddha intends to use that method, even this Wujing City is not safe. We should leave quickly."
"Let's go!"
"..."
One by one, the powerhouses departed from Blue Star.
Although they did not know how the Undying Buddha would retaliate against Lin Yu, they were certain he would not let him off.
If the Undying Buddha used the self-destruction method, they did not believe Lin Yu could survive.
Soon, the entire Wujing City became deserted.
...
Blue Star Human Territory.
Above the territory, a Candle Dragon circled. The Candle Dragon lay within the clouds, its aura concealed to the extreme, undetectable by those with weak perception.
This was a million-level composite clone, ordered by Lin Yu to protect the human race.
With him here, the human race was safe.
At this moment.
In the small courtyard of Lin Yu's mansion.
Lin Yu sat up and glanced at his upgrade points.
"I can continue to improve my cultivation. Next is High God!"
It had only been a week since he broke through to Middle God, and he was about to advance his realm again, directly to High God.
In fact, after the great battle, he had already accumulated enough upgrade points to advance to High God.
However, as he had only recently reached Middle God, his realm had not yet stabilized. Advancing rashly to High God might damage his foundation.
Therefore, he had delayed until now. He had finally thoroughly stabilized his Middle God realm and could continue to improve his cultivation.
"System, upgrade my cultivation to High God!"
