Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 212 - 136: The Fifth Divine Phenomenon, Colonizing Another World_3

There's a saying, "only a thief commits theft for a thousand days; no one defends against theft for a thousand days".

Indeed, because of this, opening up another front is imperative.

"It's not just about having the highest combat power,"

Dr. Mu shook his head,

"Even if we conquer the land, it will be hard to hold onto unless the Federation starts a large-scale migration, but that's not possible at the moment."

"Moreover, if we show that we have the power to swallow up the Oasis, all powers within the Oasis will unite against us. This has happened more than once in history we've collected and is also the main reason for the chaos in the Oasis until now—the continent doesn't need a true ruler."

"Therefore, the current strategic direction of the Federation is 'focusing on points to affect the whole, radiating across the Nine States'."

"Once we have completely resolved the issue of the passageways, we will establish footholds in various regions, carve out influences, create impactful presence, hoping to secure our position before alarming those Overlord Level powers."

Dr. Mu briefly introduced the current federal policies.

The old man suddenly chuckled: "Is this not akin to grand Otherworld colonization?"

Dr. Mu smiled without saying a word.

"So this is what Marshal Ji referred to as the Age of Great Struggle. How fortunate I am to witness this scene," murmured the old man. He turned to Dr. Chen and said comfortingly, "How is our golden generation coming along?"

Dr. Chen nodded: "With the help of Hel, we have locked onto a relic site. This site is particularly suitable for the young Martial Artists participating in the selection competition to accelerate the completion of their Martial Foundation and break through their limitations."

"Did you really find this site yourselves?" Dr. Mu narrowed his eyes, interrupting, "Dr. Chen, be very careful not to be led astray by Hel. There are plenty in history who have been misled by such entities."

The old man's expression was also grave: "Dr. Chen, Dr. Mu's words are sensible. When dealing with Him, caution cannot be overstated. Are you certain this is a site you found on your own, and not a coordinate confirmed through Hel's suggestions or guiding techniques?"

Dr. Chen's face was serious: "Rest assured, this was done under the witness of a Divine Lord."

Hearing that a Divine Lord witnessed it, the old man's expression eased considerably.

In the federal divine system, the Four Directions God never intervenes in the internal affairs of the Federation and seldom issues divine edicts. But once a divine edict is given, it must be seriously considered by both the official Federation and those Grandmasters and Martial Artists who pursue the Dao—even if the edict contradicts their goals.

These four have long become symbols of the Federation's guardian Gods.

"As for why we chose this relic..."

Dr. Chen sold a cliffhanger, his gaze sweeping over the old man and Dr. Mu with a smile:

"The relic is likely related to Marshal Mu."

The old man's breath hitched.

The history of the Federation, no matter how one skirts around it, cannot bypass seven individuals.

Even though there have been Supreme Grandmasters in later generations, and at times some felt that the present surpasses the past.

But the truth is harsh...

"In fact, in that battle when He was brought back to the Federation, only three of the Seven Marshals made a move."

The old man suddenly unveiled a secret for the two.

And the "He" he referred to was naturally Hel.

Dr. Chen and Dr. Mu listened attentively.

The information they had touched upon was that the Seven Marshals had jointly subdued Hel.

"Some of the other four thought the risk was too high, and others wanted to act but didn't have time."

"The three who acted: Marshal Ji was responsible for Locking the Heavenly Mechanism, Marshal Mu blocked Hel's all-out strike from the Divine Country, and then Marshal He finished the job with a single strike, pulling Hel down from the Divine Throne."

"After that, it was simple. Once Marshal Ji withdrew the Heavenly Mechanism and cut off the connection, the other three Evil Gods actually took the initiative to attack Hel first, causing Him grave injury. It was the three who had acted that extended their help to Him, bringing Him back to the Federation."

"So strictly speaking, we actually provided Hel sanctuary!"

The old man's expression at this moment was very serious, as if emphasizing a point of principle.

Dr. Mu and Dr. Chen respectfully kept silent.

They were not inclined to comment on the "sanctuary" mentioned by the old man.

But they couldn't help but feel astounded by the strength, bravery, strategy, and cunning of the three Marshals described by the old man.

Just three individuals managed to take down one of the four strongest divine entities deep in the wilderness. Though it involved leveraging other forces, the audacity to snatch victory from the jaws of danger required not just power, but also courage and strategy.

Appearances of ease described by the old man aside, whether it be cutting off the Heavenly Mechanism, shielding from the perception of many powerful individuals, blocking the blow from a high-level Divine entity's full force, or pulling that entity down from their Divine Position...

None were feats the current Federal Martial Artists could achieve!

Over ten thousand years, the Federation had its share of Supreme Grandmasters, but none had reached the realms of the most powerful among the past Seven Marshals.

As those strong individuals have said—

Some individuals seem close; you think you're on the first floor and they are on the rooftop. Although there's a distance, there seems to be hope.

But once you've luckily reached the rooftop, you realize that they are actually standing in the sky.

"The rules of the Great Universe are protecting us, yet they also restrict us," said the old man softly, "The world you have discovered could bring the Federation's Martial Arts to a higher level."

Dr. Mu suddenly asked: "Elder Chen, since the Seven Marshals had once made contact and even set foot in the world beyond the wilderness, why didn't they pass on their methods?"

The wrinkles on the old man's face deepened as he fell silent for a long time, then spoke softly:

"This matter is complicated, even causing a big dispute among the seven. I cannot disclose more to you. But there's one thing I must warn you about—"

"When facing the world beyond the wilderness, always remember one thing: the world we are in now is the true foundation of the Federation."
