High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 999 - 462: Hundred Billion God-Refining Formation (Double-Length)

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye completely understood.

In other words, we need to have [Thunder Ash] take action once to awaken the will of Blue Star!

But if [Thunder Ash] takes action?

Then the hundreds of billions of people on Blue Star would have already been annihilated, and by then, what’s the use of the Blue Star will awakening?

”Teacher.”

”In the absence of any external assistance,” Jiang Ye gritted his teeth and said, ”is there any way for a Tier Three Demigod to withstand a God’s strike?”

”Oh?” Venerable Bai slightly raised an eyebrow.

He understood well that Jiang Ye was asking how to protect Blue Star.

”The gap between a Tier Three Demigod and a God is too vast.”

”Normally,” Venerable Bai slightly shook his head, ”even if a Tier Three Demigod self-destructs with full force, it’s impossible to withstand a God’s strike.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but show a look of disappointment.

”However.”

”I do happen to have an unconventional method,” Venerable Bai continued.

Jiang Ye’s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, ”Please teach me, Teacher.”

Venerable Bai glanced at him, then waved his hand, and a streak of flowing light leapt out, transforming into a jade slip that landed in Jiang Ye’s hand.

”This is the [Hundred Billion Refining God Array].”

”It can refine the power of a hundred billion people to strengthen oneself,” Venerable Bai said. ”It is originally a marvelous technique to assault the God realm, capable of increasing the success rate by twenty percent.”

”But due to the array’s special nature, it can also be used to withstand a God’s strike.”

Jiang Ye was left in a daze upon hearing this.

An array to assault the God realm!?

Moreover, it can increase the success rate of ascending to divinity by twenty percent?

This is too exaggerated!

The path to divinity is so arduous, even with exceptional talent, the probability is merely fifty percent; that an array can boost this by twenty percent is truly terrifying.

”Of course.”

”The side effects of this method are also significant,” Venerable Bai continued. ”The array forcibly establishes a foundation of divinity using the power of all beings, and if the assault fails, it will cause irreversible damage to one’s foundation.”

”From then on, the probability of ascending to divinity would inexplicably decrease by fifty percent.”

”In other words, if one attempts to ascend to divinity later, even with thorough preparation, at most, there would only be a fifty percent chance,” Venerable Bai said, shaking his head.

Jiang Ye held his breath.

Such a side effect is indeed terrifying.

Becoming a God is already incredibly difficult, and having a fifty percent chance reduced further almost completely cuts off the path to divinity.

”Wait...”

”Then what about the hundred billion people connected to the array?” Jiang Ye suddenly realized a crucial point.

”The hundred billion people, naturally, have their lives tied to the array.”

”I mentioned just now that this array could withstand a God’s strike, and this is where it comes in,” Venerable Bai said. ”All injuries suffered by the array master will be divided among the hundred billion people.”

”If the array master is lightly injured, a hundred billion souls will feel their divine souls pierced and their blood and energy surging.”

”If the array master is severely injured, millions of lives will synchronously die, perishing one after another.”

”If the array master dies, the hundred billion souls will all be annihilated, without exception,” Venerable Bai solemnly said.

Jiang Ye instantly understood the function of this array.

This array links the lives of a hundred billion souls; they share in both blessings and disasters, and when one suffers, all suffer!

”What if the array master fails to ascend to divinity?” Jiang Ye quickly asked.

He did not intend to use this array to assault the God realm.

But precisely for this reason, he must prepare for the possibility of failure.

After all, according to the array’s judgment, as long as the array master does not ultimately ascend to divinity, it counts as a failed assault.

”If the array master fails to ascend to divinity,”

”The hundred billion souls will also suffer backlash,” Venerable Bai softly said. ”At worst, they suffer damage to their foundation; at worst, it affects their descendants, resulting in many newborns being ordinary or even deformed.”

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but hold his breath.

Even newborns would be affected?

This isn’t just a backlash affecting a hundred billion; it’s practically the destruction of the civilization’s foundation!

”Venerable.”

”Is there any other way?” Jiang Ye’s expression was uncertain.

The side effects of this array are simply too severe.

If the side effects only affected him, it would be one thing, but the hundred billion souls would be greatly impacted, even involving future generations.

Wouldn’t he then become a criminal of civilization?

”No more.”

”How difficult is it for a Tier Three Demigod to withstand a God’s strike?” Venerable Bai shook his head. ”This [Hundred Billion Refining God Array] is merely a clever alternative.”

”Moreover, it can only withstand one God’s strike at most.”

At this point.

Venerable Bai looked at Jiang Ye, appearing somewhat curious and said, ”Do you want me to relay this array to Blue Star?”

”No need,” Jiang Ye shook his head.

”Alright.”

Seeing Jiang Ye not wanting to say more, Venerable Bai didn’t ask further and only said, ”During this period, stay in the Bright Heart Hall and don’t go out; you can contact me through the token if necessary.”

”Teacher, you mean?” Jiang Ye was stunned.

He noticed that the Venerable’s words clearly had an undertone.

”It has been several months since the end of the Civilization Struggle.”

”Our Huanglong Civilization, most of the Gods have already absorbed the benefits brought about by the civilization’s advancement,” Venerable Bai said. ”The same is probably true for the Cangxu Civilization.”

Jiang Ye felt a chill in his heart.

He understood Venerable Bai’s meaning.

During this time, the Cangxu Civilization hasn’t dispatched powerhouses to Blue Star because most of the Cangxu powerhouses are in seclusion.

After all, digesting the universe’s benevolence takes time.

But now, their seclusion has ended.

This means that many of the futures he saw in the [Life Planet] are about to come true!

”Blue Star doesn’t have much time left...” Jiang Ye’s expression was solemn.

He dared not delay, cupped his hands, and said, ”Yes, Teacher, I shall return.”

After speaking, Jiang Ye immediately transformed into a streak of flowing light and left.

...

Bright Heart Hall.

Jiang Ye sat down in the main hall and then, with a thought, delved into the jade slip in his hand.

”Hundred Billion Refining God Array?”

”Truly worthy of being an array used to assault the God realm,” Jiang Ye marveled with just a cursory glance, ”The mysteries it contains are not any less than those of a complete ’Dao Planet.’”

”There’s not much time.”

”Let’s try to comprehend as much as possible.” Jiang Ye quickly calmed his mind and devoted himself to comprehension.

Even with his current ability to comprehend.

It would take considerable time to grasp this array fully.

...

Just as Jiang Ye’s true form began to focus entirely on comprehending the [Hundred Billion Refining God Array].

On Blue Star, at the White Dragon Royal Court.

Jiang Ye’s Dao form was still grinding away in the [Pantheon], searching for ways to deal with Gods.

”Boom!!”

A God’s palm struck down, with patterns resembling mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, clearly visible, and the terrifying pressure completely enveloped Jiang Ye.

Poof~

Jiang Ye was instantly shattered to pieces.

In the next moment.

His figure reappeared in the [Pantheon].

”The 120,988th time!”

”Failure,” Jiang Ye took a deep breath, his eyes filled with deep dread.

This is what Gods are.

Under the 15 times accelerated time flow of the [Pantheon] and [Profound Light Hall], over a hundred days, there were a full 120,000 attempts!

Not a single success.

The enormous gap between the status of a God and a Demigod is like an unbridgeable chasm.

”Fortunately.”

”There has been some progress,” a glint of light shone in Jiang Ye’s eyes, ”At least now, I can barely endure a moment under a God’s hand.”

In the beginning.

The God didn’t even need to act; the sheer pressure from a God was enough to kill Jiang Ye on the spot.

But now, he can manage to endure for a moment.

This is already unimaginable progress.

Gods are beings of a higher dimension.

Before Gods, Demigods feel like encountering their natural enemy, lacking even the courage to face them.

”Overcoming physiological fear.”

”At least I now have the confidence to face Gods head-on,” Jiang Ye mused, ”And not be utterly powerless against them.”

At this moment.

”Hmm?”

”Alliance Leader Qitian is calling,” Jiang Ye’s expression suddenly changed, ”It seems the one million spots have been decided.”

”It’s time to go out.”

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, his figure dissipating from the [Pantheon].

Just in time.

He also had an important matter to announce to the hundreds of billions of people on Blue Star.

”Phew!” Jiang Ye’s figure flickered and instantly left the White Dragon Royal Court’s interior.

”Hmm?”

As soon as Jiang Ye reached the outside world, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.
