Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 784: Chapter 19: Descendants Without End_2

This plan, built entirely on speculation, had unexpectedly succeeded in the end.

The loss Purple Cloud Star suffered was unimaginable, but it left behind hope.

Three billion people had now joined Source Star, and the future was not entirely bleak.

As for being targeted, he had anticipated this situation long ago.

After one last glance at the sunset on Purple Cloud Star, now devoid of its characteristic purple nebula, the elderly leader no longer lingered and said solemnly, “Summon representatives from those three hundred and forty-three worlds. They want an explanation, and I’ll give them one!”

The Governor, upon hearing this, looked up in astonishment.

An explanation?

How could such a matter be explained?

Nonetheless, things went smoothly. Despite being isolated, as soon as they heard an explanation was forthcoming, representatives from all three hundred and forty-three worlds were dispatched.

Even the Datong Sect was alerted and came to witness and maintain order.

“I heard Purple Cloud Star will give an explanation, but I wonder what kind it will be.”

“What else can it be? Most likely an apology, at most, they might offer Purple Cloud Star as compensation, but is that enough?”

Targeting Purple Cloud Star was something all worlds were aware of. Purple Cloud Star simply had no means of compensating; over three hundred worlds had too many people needing to vent their anger.

The more Purple Cloud Star suffered, the happier they became.

Soon, the three hundred forty-three representatives from various worlds and planets met the elderly leader, who was now in charge of Purple Cloud Star affairs.

As for those who’d utilized the corpses earlier?

They died miserably, completely annihilated.

The representative sent by the Datong Sect was Wang Lingwei.

Wang Lingwei was now a Seventh Realm expert, a high-ranking member of the Datong Sect, and also from Qingshan Holy Land, well-suited for this situation.

Wang Lingwei was briefed with information.

“Wu Doushan, currently in charge of Purple Cloud Star, a Third Realm cultivator, one hundred twenty-three years old. According to our investigation, multiple worlds being impacted was his doing. He shifted the risk, making various worlds share the losses, relying entirely on speculative intelligence… the law enforcement is hesitant about arresting him.”

Wang Lingwei glanced at the information, “Remarkable indeed, managing such a situation solely based on speculative intelligence. His methods are strong; now how will he resolve this current predicament?”

Datong could effortlessly solve Purple Cloud Star’s predicament, but such matters are not typically their concern.

This time, they were merely present as witnesses.

Standing before the people, Wu Doushan faced the three hundred and forty-three representatives, some angry, some disdainful, others looking on as if watching a drama.

He took a deep breath and slowly began: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Wu Doushan, the person currently in power on Purple Cloud Star. There’s not much to say; indeed, this is both Purple Cloud Star’s fault and my own. I sincerely apologize to you and to your worlds.”

“I am truly very sorry. If it were not for our greed, such a disaster would never have occurred.”

With Qing Sheng’s Tenth Realm Cultivation, even if people on Purple Cloud Star resisted temptation, the events would still have unfolded in another form.

But Wu Doushan knew that such an explanation would be accepted by no one, so he decisively took full responsibility.

However, hearing his words, those who had come showed expressions of expected disdain and grew even more scornful.

“Heh, apologizing. Does an apology even matter once things have occurred? It’s already irreversible…”

“Just as predicted.”

“Wu Doushan, if you’re merely apologizing, there was no need to gather us all here. Your apology is utterly useless; bring out something substantial.”

Of course, there were also insults, quite unpleasant to hear.

Wu Doushan listened to the insults without showing any emotion and continued:

“I know that just apologizing is utterly useless; the deceased will not return. Therefore, I am also willing to offer compensation!”

“Compensation? What compensation can make up for countless lives?”

“You from Purple Cloud Star, we’re well aware of the state of Purple Cloud Star; it’s only things unfit to be brought to light, even if given, we wouldn’t want it.”

Purple Cloud Star, affected by Qing Sheng, has thin energy, scarce resources, ranking among the poorest of worlds.

Their resources were extremely low-grade; they simply did not appeal.

Wu Doushan was naturally aware of this, and continued, “My compensation is the resurrection of all beings who died in this incident. I know that the Source Star military can perform resurrections, and currently my family’s able manpower totals thirteen thousand six hundred twenty-three, all of whom will enter the cross-realm battlefield to amass military merit.”

“Before coming here, I had inquired—aside from my family, Purple Cloud Star’s military, totaling one million three hundred thousand, will also enter the battlefield. Except for basic cultivation, all earned military merits will be used for resurrection.”

“If one generation isn’t enough, then countless generations will continue until everyone is resurrected.”

“Two hundred fifty-six billion, not one less, and unless the lineage is completely extinct, the era will continue, and here, I also hope Source Star will come forward as a witness to this!”

Wu Doushan’s words dropped, and not just Wang Lingwei, but everyone present fell into silence.

Although many internally thought this was wishful thinking—resurrecting over two hundred billion people, even if most were low-level beings requiring less military merit than the stronger figures, it was still a monumental amount of military merit!

But it must be said, Wu Doushan was quite audacious.

His entire family participating, planning for generations, and having people from Source Star to witness.

Meaning, unless the lineage was completely extinct, Wu Doushan’s family was locked into this pertinacity, after all, Source Star wasn’t to be trifled with.
