"What's wrong, Mentor Gumo!"

Lu Sheng looked at Gumo with some surprise.

Gumo smiled at Lu Sheng and said, "I didn't know your strength had become so terrifying before. Now that I know, there are some things I need to inform you about!"

Listening to Gumo's words, Lu Sheng became a bit interested.

Gumo slowly said, "Since your strength now allows you to slay figures like the Black Moon Priest, could it be time to expand your defense line range?"

Hearing Gumo's suggestion, Lu Sheng slightly raised his eyebrows and fell into contemplation.

Expanding defense line range is a good thing for a Guardian, but also a bad thing.

With more defense lines, a Guardian can obtain more resources while guarding them, but it also means Lu Sheng has to spend more effort ensuring the safety of the resource planets within these defense lines.

As such, it becomes more troublesome for Lu Sheng.

He might even face significant crises.

Therefore, without absolute confidence in their strength, many Guardian Envoys choose to guard only one defense line.

But powerful Guardian Envoys often choose to guard more defense lines because as their strength increases, the resources needed for cultivation also increase.

However, for Lu Sheng, he can cultivate the Celestial Demon Technique and enter different worlds to practice, which reduces the need for many resources.

Furthermore, the share of the high-level resource planet obtained this time is an extremely abundant resource.

Most importantly, Lu Sheng has a system panel.

His demand for resources is much lower than others at the same level.

In this situation, expanding the number of his defense lines does not have much significant meaning.

"Of course, I'm just mentioning it. The specific choice is ultimately up to you to decide,"

Gumo observed Lu Sheng's dilemma and smiled as he spoke.

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Gumo, he left Gumo's defense line and returned to his own Defense Line 56.

Sitting cross-legged within a star, Lu Sheng fell into deep thought.

"For me, having a share of the high-level resource planet, even though it's not too much, means I don't need to spend much on resources before reaching Tier Nine."

"After all, besides the resources from Defense Line 56, I can also improve my strength by cultivating the Celestial Demon Technique."

"In this way... it doesn't require much more effort!"

As Lu Sheng spoke, he had already made a decision in his heart.

Just as when Lu Sheng initially joined the Life Factions, with the existence of the system panel, he could steadily improve without taking much risk to seek more resources.

He only needed to progress step by step.

Upon thinking to this point, Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

"Whether it be other defense lines or the share of the high-level resource planet, for me right now... the most important thing is that one Tier Eight Life Planet!"

"If I can turn this Tier Eight Life Planet into my Cultivation Field... I could potentially break through to the Tier Eight Peak, or even... approach the situation of the Three Tribulations!"

Lu Sheng said, with a bright glimmer gradually flashing in his eyes.

Then Lu Sheng waved his hand, and a Martial God Blood Stone at the Tier Seven Peak level appeared in his hand.

"The last time I split a Tier Six Peak Martial God Blood Stone, it didn't get a chance to attach to the world creature before being eradicated by the world consciousness!"

"This time, with a Tier Seven Peak Martial God Blood Stone... there should be a chance!"

As Lu Sheng spoke, his eyes showed a hint of expectation.

The Tier Seven Peak Martial God Blood Stone was also quite a burden for Lu Sheng.

But in order to have a chance to become stronger, Lu Sheng was prepared to strive hard.

Then, Lu Sheng took out the Super Long-distance Teleportation Array, input the coordinates of the found Tier Eight Life Realm into it, and directly inserted the Martial God Blood Stone into it.

In an instant, the Martial God Blood Stone disappeared into the void.

And at this moment, Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes.

...

In the Star River Star System, amid an endless dark void.

Emperor Bai sat quietly in this dark void, becoming the only light within this darkness.

Suddenly, a bright glimmer flickered, as Emperor Bai opened his eyes.

"A high-level resource planet appearing out of nowhere... could it be..."

A hint of thoughtfulness appeared in Emperor Bai's eyes.

"The Star Sky Secret Realm... is it really going to appear again?"

Emperor Bai pondered, with an expression of expectation along with a hint of gravity.

Slowly, he stood up and looked towards the defense line guarded by Gumo.

"The appearance of the Star Sky Secret Realm... Is certainly a carnival for all Cosmic Life Forms, birthing more Galactic Life Forms. Even the Human Federation could use this Star Sky Secret Realm... to give birth to the fourth or even the fifth Galactic Life Form..."

"But at the same time... it's also a cosmic battle among Galactic Life Forms!"

"Galactic Life Form battles... can affect the layout of all races, not to be easily initiated unless absolutely necessary."

"Chaos... is it really coming?"

Emperor Bai spoke softly, with a trace of helplessness visible between his brows.

"Especially with chaos during the turmoil of the Human Federation, what exactly... is going on."

"Why, even I find it unclear!"

Emperor Bai's voice echoed in the cosmic void.

In the end, Emperor Bai gently shook his head, the helplessness on his face growing stronger.

"Alright, alright, take things as they come, and let fate decide!"

Emperor Bai muttered, finally closing his eyes slowly, with the endless dark void returning to stillness once more.

...

The Martial Arts Realm!

This is the Tier Eight Life Realm discovered by Lu Sheng.

When Lu Sheng discovered this world, he was extremely surprised.

Because the beings in this Life Realm practiced martial arts!

However, the martial arts of this world were somewhat different from the Martial Artist System of the Human Federation.

For example, in this martial arts world, Tier One is called Entry Level, Tier Two is called Acquired, Tier Three is called Innate, Tier Four is called Grandmaster, Tier Five is called Great Grandmaster, and Tier Six... is known as Exalted!

Tier Seven powerhouses are even referred to as Martial Saints!

Tier Eight powerhouses are known as Martial Gods!

The gap with the Human Federation... is not just a small one.
