Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

The war is finally coming to an end!

After suffering heavy casualties, the invaders led by Li Zhixuan finally defeated the creatures of this world and won a pyrrhic victory.

While not everyone was injured, very few were unharmed. Even she herself was in a sorry state, her clothes torn and covered in blood and gore, some of it her own and some splattered from others.

Originally there were tens of thousands of cultivators, but now, less than half of them remain!
The assembled rogue cultivators suffered heavy losses, but the Li family members fared no better.

Of course, compared to the nearly 80% of the creatures in this world who were killed or injured, their losses seem less significant.

“Ancestor Xuan, a group of surviving demonic beasts and demonic cultivators are fleeing towards their territory. Should we send someone to chase and intercept them?” At this moment, an elder walked over and said wearily.

Li Zhixuan glanced at the exhausted state of everyone. Although she wanted to press her advantage and defeat and subdue the remaining creatures of this world in one fell swoop, the reality did not allow her to do so!

Moreover, even she herself is currently powerless and lacks the strength to pursue and kill the other party.

"Let them be. After this battle, the main force of the creatures in this world has been almost wiped out. They can't cause any trouble now. Let's all rest for a while before talking about anything else."

After saying this, the elder's expression visibly relaxed.

Clearly, he didn't want to pursue them, but he had no choice but to come and inquire, and now he has gotten what he wanted.

However, everyone else could go and rest, except for the few surviving array masters, who still had a mission: to set up an array to protect the camp!
Although the possibility of attacks from beings in this world is now very small, it cannot be completely ignored.

Only when she saw a yellowish-brown spiritual light rise did Li Zhixuan finally feel relieved. She returned to her cave and began to take pills to heal her injuries and restore her magical power.

After all, although the main force of the creatures of this world was wiped out, the remaining demonic beasts and demonic cultivators still had considerable strength!

If they do not choose to surrender, it means that another great battle awaits them.

……

And the other side.

The group of demonic beasts and demonic cultivators, who had narrowly escaped death, fled back to their mountain camp in terror.

Their return immediately drew the attention of others, especially after seeing their injuries, the fact that there were only one or two thousand of them, and that they all looked utterly dejected. They immediately understood the outcome of the battle, their faces turned deathly pale, and they swayed precariously.

"Lost? How could we have lost! We sent tens of thousands of troops, almost all of our elite forces, and yet we were still no match for a group of invaders who were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao?!" The demon beast's mentality exploded, and it kept asking questions in disbelief.

But how are they supposed to answer that? A loss is a loss.

Moreover, those creatures that managed to escape did so not because of their strength, but because they were located on the edge of the battlefield, thus avoiding being swept up in the brutal fighting, and also because they had a bit more luck than others, which is why they came back alive.

So they really didn't know what happened or what caused the situation to deteriorate so drastically.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Faced with this group of creatures that seemed to be completely terrified, they could only rage helplessly.

But in the end, he stood there dejectedly, not knowing what to do next.

"What do you think our chances of winning are if we gather the remaining creatures and fight them to the death while they are still recovering from their great battle, suffering heavy casualties and being greatly depleted?"

"Ha ha……"

A demonic cultivator let out a cold laugh and said, "Look at the appearance of these people around you. Can they still fight? And the remaining creatures are almost all low- to mid-level beings. They can't even be used as cannon fodder."

"At that point, it won't be a match for the enemy; it will be no different from suicide!"

These words may be harsh, but they are indeed true.

Apart from the one or two thousand people who escaped alive, the other demonic beasts and demonic cultivators in the mountains were only at the low-level of the mortal realm. On such a battlefield, they were of no use at all!

After all, by the time they had organized their forces and arrived at the enemy camp, an hour or two had already passed since the last major battle ended.

If they have enough pills, this period of time should be enough to restore 50% to 60% of their mana.

"What should we do now?"

The monster couldn't help but shout, "Is our only option to surrender and wait to die?!"

No one is willing to be slaughtered except for those who are determined to die or who are already in dire straits!
The scene fell silent.

"There is only one other option: to admit defeat, surrender, become their slaves, and let the Floating Light Realm become their colony." After a long while, a certain demonic cultivator spoke in a low voice.

But one of the demonic beasts frowned and asked, "But are they willing to accept us?"

If the demonic path might be acceptable because it belongs to the same human race, then the demon race, as a different race, probably doesn't even have the right to surrender!

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

This statement is known not only to humans, but also to the demon race.

Just like this great war, if the Floating Light Realm hadn't faced the risk of destruction, the demon race and the demonic path would never have cooperated.

His words silenced the room once again.

"They will probably agree, and you might even have a higher status than us in the future."

One of the demonic cultivators seemed to have thought of something and said, "From my observation, a large portion of those cultivators have beast taming abilities, which means they should be a beast taming force."

Perhaps the monsters of the Floating Light Realm will not gain trust at first, but time will always fade everything, and after several generations, their status will inevitably change.

Unlike them, once they become slaves, they are likely to remain so for generations to come, with no chance of ever rising above their circumstances!
In reality, the demonic cultivator who said those words was merely speculating. He only said them to appease the group of demonic beasts and give them some hope.

Otherwise, before they could even surrender to the invaders, internal conflicts might erupt and a bloodbath might break out among them.

After all, the demon race wouldn't just stand by and watch the demon cultivators surrender to the enemy, thus strengthening the enemy and making things more difficult for themselves.

Hearing these words, the demon race's unease did indeed ease somewhat.

Some of the demon beasts couldn't help but dream about the future, wondering if they would sign a contract with the other party and travel to a higher-level world to embark on a broader path of cultivation!
"So what do we need to do now?"

One of the monsters said, "Should we just head straight to the invaders' camp and surrender now?" "No!"

Immediately, a demonic cultivator said, "If we are misunderstood as taking advantage of the situation to attack, it will be troublesome if the other side launches an attack. For now, we should stay in the mountains and surrender when the other side arrives."

The others thought about it and realized it made sense, so they didn't object and just stayed quietly in the mountains.

at the same time.

Li Zhixuan and the others, still healing and recovering, had no idea that the remaining creatures of this realm also did not want to continue fighting, but instead planned to admit defeat and surrender, even if it meant losing their freedom and becoming slaves.

So when everyone's strength had recovered to a certain extent a few days later, they organized a large army to go to the demon's stronghold, intending to eliminate them all. However, upon arriving at their destination, they were stunned to see the white flag raised high and the demonic beasts and demonic cultivators who had surrendered without resistance.

"What do you mean by this?" one of the elders of the Li family stepped forward and asked.

"We were unaware of the might of you celestial beings from beyond the realm, yet we dared to attempt to resist..."

The elder, impatient with their words, thought, "Just surrender, why are you nitpicking and trying to save face?" He immediately interrupted, "You want to surrender in order to save your lives?"

"Yes, as long as we can live, we don't care if we become slaves or servants."

"Such a big world does indeed need a lot of manpower to help manage it."

The elder nodded and said, "As long as you hand over a wisp of your divine soul, or leave a drop of your essence blood on this Myriad Beast Seal, you don't need to worry about being attacked."

Li Zhixuan, who was standing to the side, seemed to disdain to talk about such matters, and the elder handled the entire conversation with the other party.

Moreover, these demonic beasts and cultivators were probably in a state of relief after surviving a calamity, their minds relaxed, and they didn't notice that the elder was actually talking about something else and didn't give a direct answer at all.

Faced with such a demand, most creatures chose the less painful second method of being controlled: leaving a drop of their essence blood on the Myriad Beast Seal!

From then on, their lives were in the hands of others, but at least they survived.

This result, which met their expectations, brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

But what they didn't know was that all of this was temporary. When they returned to the Yuanling Realm and only Li Zhixuan remained, it would be the beginning of the entire world being sacrificed!
But before that, we still need to plunder the spiritual objects and civilizations of the Floating Light Realm!

"Hand over the techniques of your respective factions, as well as those spiritual objects."

"Yes!"

If life and death are in the hands of others, what do those material possessions matter?
He then addressed the surviving rogue cultivators, saying, "You have one month to search the entire world for spiritual treasures. During this time, you are not allowed to wantonly destroy the heavens and earth or kill living beings! If you encounter any living beings that refuse to obey, capture them or mark them and hand them over to the Li family for personal handling!"

The meaning of these words is very simple: to prevent the world's original essence from being lost as much as possible.

It's easy to understand why they wouldn't destroy the heavens and earth. The Li family plans to develop the Floating Light Realm in the future, and since it's all their own territory, they naturally wouldn't allow anyone else to destroy it.

These words, once heard by the creatures of this world, completely dispelled the last trace of worry in their hearts.

They believed that since the Li family treated these beings, whom they had never met and who had not yet submitted, with such kindness, they would surely treat them well in the future.

The surviving rogue cultivators were overjoyed. They hadn't expected the Li family to be so generous, giving them a month to search for spiritual treasures throughout the Floating Light Realm as a reward and thank you for their hard work for the Li family during this time.

The Li family members also made arrangements. They divided into small groups and went to the mountain gates of various forces in this realm to take away all the spiritual objects and techniques!
It can be said that the essence of a world's civilization is all contained within it.

And this is the biggest gain for the Li family besides the Floating Light Realm!

……

"I didn't expect the Li family to be so generous! They've given us a whole month to search for and collect spiritual items."

After hearing the instructions, the group of independent cultivators immediately dispersed, some acting alone and others with friends, and flew off into the distance.

"Yes, but think about it, from now on, the Li family will be able to obtain a huge middle-thousand world, and the reward we are receiving now is just a drop in the ocean."

"Stop chatting! Let's hurry up and find some spiritual items. Whether we can obtain a large amount of cultivation resources depends on this!"

If they miss such a good opportunity, they'll probably slap themselves in the face later, regretting that they didn't collect the spiritual items properly.

However, after several major wars, the world was in turmoil, and precious spiritual creatures in the wild became increasingly rare, while ordinary spiritual creatures were still relatively common.

……

Sun rises and sets, time flows on.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed quickly.

One by one, some independent cultivators returned, but some were still on their way, or simply did not plan to return at all.

In their view, the Li family wouldn't care about these few insignificant rogue cultivators and wouldn't even notice that they hadn't returned.

In reality, the Li family didn't care about them, but they were fully aware that they hadn't returned.

The family members did not react to this.

Li Zhixuan and the elders, who knew the inside story, were even less concerned. They believed that the death of a few more lives during the sacrifice to the Floating Light Realm was not necessarily a bad thing.

"The time has come; we will stop waiting for those who haven't returned yet."

After one of the elders finished speaking, he went to consult Li Zhixuan. Seeing that she nodded, he immediately activated the spirit ship and flew towards the original location.

As for those creatures from this realm who surrendered, the Li family has already assigned them a task: to find places rich in spiritual energy and cultivate spiritual plants!
The ease of the task relieved them; they were worried about dangerous or strange missions, like being used as cannon fodder in battle. Fortunately, it was the simplest task: cultivating spirit creatures.

Perhaps it was because the Li family's previous mild behavior was so deceptive that they did not suspect anything—that the Li family actually had another purpose in doing so.

Watching Li Zhixuan and her group leave, the group of demonic beasts and cultivators were filled with emotion. If they had known that these invaders were so gentle, why did they have to fight them to the death?
Fortunately, they survived to the end, and it seems they won't have to worry about their safety in the future.

Before leaving, Li Zhixuan specifically issued some rules, one of which was that they were not allowed to kill each other!

In addition, there are the good and bad aspects of cultivating spirit creatures, as well as the corresponding rewards and punishments. (End of this chapter)
