Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 1247 - 1215: Massive Expansion of Civilian Living Space: Over a Hundred Minor Thousand Worlds

"Harmonization!"

"Harmonization!"

The Shadow Demon Abyss Great Expert was in a crazed state, his Divine Sense cast towards the weakened Formation Method of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan. He looked at the gigantic demonic figure and shouted fiercely, "Jiaoming Emperor!"

"You damned old thing!"

"Will you scram, or not?"

"If you won't scram, then die right here, for me!"

From beginning to end, the first goal of the Immortal Sect Great Power wasn't to slay the Jiaoming Emperor, but to expel him, to take over the critically important Medium Thousand World of the Horned Devil Realm.

Because to slay a Harmonization expert was far too difficult.

It may cost the lives and injuries of several people, ending in mutual destruction.

Between the Nine Great Immortal Sects, there were many conflicts. Although theoretically, they could fight to the death for their path, daring to face death, what would actually happen in a life-and-death situation was uncertain.

"Youngster, you're seeking death..."

The killing intent of the Jiaoming Emperor was as cold as ice.

...

The slaughter outside the Blood Fight Formation Method did not affect the inside of the Minor Thousand World.

After a brief period of Cultivation, Jiang Ding opened his eyes, the nebulous embryonic form of the Sword Realm around him slowly retracted and dissipated.

"Jiang Ding,"

An Siyan adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and said in a soft voice, as she did over two thousand years ago, "It's now two years later, the Horned Demon Imperial Clan has lost eight waves of its armies, with a total of about eighty million Horned Demon Imperial Clan Cultivators dead. This Domain Overlord Race is on the brink of extinction."

"Just now, the majority of the cultivators at the eighth wave who were captured by the Yama Hell Equal King Yin-Yang Inversion Array were Qi Practitioners with strength at its weakest point. We wiped them out quickly."

"We estimate that in a few months, when the ninth wave of Horned Demon Imperial Clan's army arrives, we will be able to complete the extermination of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan."

She calmly stated the judgement of the Air Space Front Army General Staff.

The corpses of countless Horned Demon Imperial Clan Cultivators could seemingly cover the entire Minor Thousand World.

However, such a scenario did not occur. As soon as the corpses appeared, they were dealt with by the Immortal Sect Practitioners to prevent occurrences like corpse transformations or any possible incidents.

"Hmm."

Jiang Ding nodded slightly.

He had no desire to slaughter the weak, but that did not mean he would show womanly compassion in inter-racial warfare, putting the Human Race of the Nine Spirits Realm and the Horned Ming Realm in danger for the so-called 'good'.

In the Domain Starry Sky, there were many cold and inevitable things that he himself could not change.

"After a thousand years, haven't you queued for an Opportunity to Transform into a Deity?"

Jiang Ding shifted away from this somewhat heavy topic and inquired.

"No."

"Not just us, many seniors haven't either."

An Siyan shook her head slightly and softly said, "War is cruel. It has tied up a vast amount of manpower and resources from Xianmen Sect and the Eight Great Immortal Sects. Almost all development has come to a halt, and everything serves the war for survival. Many years ago, the Opportunity to Transform into a Deity ceased to appear, with all Immortal Tao Industry capacities and all the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures needing to be supplied to the front lines first."

"However, if we win the war, according to the treaty signed with the Eight Great Immortal Sects, Xianmen Sect is expected to acquire nearly a hundred worlds out of the four hundred and thirty-seven worlds in the Horned Ming Realm, monopolizing a quarter of the Domain territories, and there's even a likelihood of possessing a quarter of a Medium Thousand World."

"At that time, the rate of generating Opportunities to Transform into a Deity within Xianmen Sect will at least increase by eightfold, tenfold is also possible."

"At that time, all our needs will not be an issue."

She said with great anticipation.

"Only a quarter?"

Jiang Ding was momentarily stunned, his killing intent overflowing.

With the development these years, after the birth of those who achieved Refining Nothingness, Xianmen Sect's strength could be discussed on equal terms with the Eight Great Immortal Sects!

Therefore, shouldn't they at least get half of the spoils?

"Any more, and the Eight Great Immortal Sects will turn against us."

"If we don't want a war to break out shortly after this one ends, similar to the battle before the era of the Xianmen Sect, we must allocate the spoils within a reasonable range."

An Siyan rolled her eyes and explained, "The Eight Great Immortal Sects will have changes in strength after the birth of Harmonization cultivators; we cannot always underestimate them. If we take too much, war may come prematurely, which is not beneficial to our development strategy."

"Additionally, the total of over a hundred Minor Thousand Worlds is almost beyond our control."

"There are only several hundred billion Immortal Sect Citizens, subtracting a large number of mortals who cannot cultivate, and among the cultivators, there are only about thirty billion, which is a result of the tremendously abundant resources in the past few years, and it will be difficult to increase thereafter."

"Among these thirty billion cultivators, the majority are Qi Practitioners, unable to be utilized to suppress alien domains."

"Ultimately, Xianmen only has a number of billions in the Starry Sky Army."

An Siyan said helplessly, "Within these few billion troops, we must reserve the most elite part of the Group Army to garrison the Xianmen's Mother Planet and the Medium Thousand World, ensuring our core interests are not compromised. The rest of the movable military forces we have is not substantial."

"Not to mention, Xianmen cultivators can't all be in the army; a large number of citizens must be reserved to engage in scientific research, education, Immortal Tao Industry production..."

"In short, even with the addition of unmanned drones and unmanned fleet groups, Xianmen's control has already reached its limit. Moreover, most of the more than a hundred Minor Thousand Worlds are not under actual control, let alone even more."

"Many predecessors have started discussing political reform within Xianmen, whether to relax the birth policies of citizens, or consider your Great Sun Divinity Transformation Strategy... Many are wavering."

"Oh?"

"Which way is the public sentiment in Xianmen leaning now?"

Jiang Ding was secretly pleased.

"It's still early!"

"After all, we are currently in a state of war; the outcome is uncertain, and all this is just casual talk among Immortal Sect Citizens to boost morale when they have nothing else to do. People always need a goal to look forward to in order to fight valiantly."

An Siyan rolled her eyes.

"You should still talk about it."

Jiang Ding cared deeply about public sentiment, especially after a thousand years, he had already lost much of his great prestige and influence among the broad masses of citizens.

"If you're talking about tendencies..."

An Siyan tilted her head, thought it over seriously, and said, "The vast majority of citizens like the current system and dislike change."

"If reform is unavoidable, they would prefer your Great Sun Divinity Transformation Strategy rather than increasing the number of citizens to several hundred billion or even over a trillion."

"Oh? Why?"

"Isn't there a great deal of hostility and xenophobia among citizens towards alien races and cultivators from the Outer Realm?"

Jiang Ding asked, curious.

"Indeed."

"Immortal Sect Citizens favor their own kind."

An Siyan nodded and said, "However, compared to this preference, Immortal Sect Citizens are even more unwilling to see the number of Immortal Sect Citizens increase by tens or hundreds of times, as this would greatly dilute the value of their rights and significantly reduce the average resources available to Immortal Sect Citizens—even if these additional citizens are also born and raised within the Sect, it wouldn't be acceptable."

"For the vast majority of cultivators, resources equate to life, to the path of cultivation, and to lifespan."

"Immortal Sect Citizens are no exception; they cannot overlook this critical issue."

"Rather than that, it would be better to absorb a very small number of elites among the cultivators, who do not affect the total amount of resources in Xianmen, but can bring more benefits to Xianmen, and then supplement them with a large number of secondary civilizations that are friendly towards Xianmen to support Xianmen's industry and scientific research, as well as the army."

"In essence, the interests of the current citizens cannot be reduced for any reason; that's the sentiment of the majority of Immortal Sect Citizens."
