Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 401 - 186: Saint King, The Death of the Seven Marshals, Mahjong Table_3

This means that the Gods are not under the watch of the Nether Sea, and the danger level of the Heavenly Road will not increase due to the addition of Gods.

As integration thought bodies, Gods possess a Power of the Spirit that far surpasses others of the same rank.

Not only can they station themselves in the Extreme Abyss of the Spirit Ocean, guarding against the constant erosion of the Spirit Ocean, but they can also Manifest in the mortal realm and take action against enemies when necessary.

For a purely technological civilization, although they may not face the dangers of the Heavenly Road, they lack the means for Spirit Defense.

Just any malevolent spirit emerging from the Spirit Ocean could pose a fatal threat to a pure tech civilization, let alone the collective spiritual gene erosion by the Spirit Ocean, which is a means of extinction.

The Federation does not have this problem precisely because the All Gods are stationed in the Extreme Abyss.

In this topic, Ji Jingqiu first encountered a question that he had always been curious about—the death of the Seven Marshals.

Facing this question, after a long silence, Marshal Li revealed some dusty histories to him.

In addition to clarifying some doubts regarding the deaths of the Seven Marshals, it also made Ji Jingqiu finally understand why Marshal He would be "expunged" from the Federation's "history" in those years.

"This involves an incident... Ten thousand years ago, we, with the opportunities of the Spirit Ocean, achieved an Ascension-like breakthrough. In just a few hundred years, we completed the journey that it would take other civilizations millions or tens of millions of years to traverse."

"Before the Federation was unified, many spies from different civilizations invaded, sowing discord among us because the power we displayed in our infighting was on par with the wars of some first-rate civilizations, and such rapid development filled them with deep fear."

"Once we realized certain issues and came together to complete the unification, the Federation officially entered its second phase of rapid development—this was also our most glorious moment—"

"During that time, even in the vast and endless Great Universe filled with countless strong entities, the Yanhuang Federation's high-level Combat Power was among the very top!"

"But the nightmare... also began at that time."

"And that cataclysm involved He's choice."

Ji Jingqiu fell silent amid the Divine Lords' revelations.

According to several Divine Lords, Senior He at that time faced a seemingly simple, yet difficult and fatal choice.

To breakthrough or not to breakthrough.

At that time, he had already reached the end of his Dao, and with a leap, he could enter an unspeakable realm.

According to Marshal Ji's deduction, only by entering this realm could the Federation enjoy eternal peace and forever avoid calamities.

However... should the breakthrough fail, it would certainly trigger suppression from the Great Universe, a tumult in the Spirit Ocean, and a series of chain reactions.

This would be a catastrophic blow to the Federation.

Regarding this issue, the Seven Marshals engaged in a fierce debate.

What the result of that discussion was...

For the several Divine Lords, it was a "distant" memory that they were close to forgetting, or rather, they did not wish to recall that past.

But the final outcome was a painful scar in the history of the Federation.

"Did Senior He breakthrough successfully, or did he fail?" Ji Jingqiu couldn't help asking.

If not successful, how could Senior He, who was merely a residual thought nursed over ten thousand years, significantly injure the Three Demons with a single strike?

But if he was successful, why was it such an ending today...

The Divine Lords were silent, giving no answer.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to have his answer; regardless of whether it was a success that day, the outcome was "failure" in light of the current situation.

Senior He's breakthrough led to a series of chain reactions like the tumult in the Spirit Ocean and the invasion of the Four Demons, plunging the Federation into an unprecedented crisis.

Many powerful beings who emerged to meet this fate also died in the disaster.

Among them, the worst was the tumult in the Spirit Ocean.

This was an invasion against all citizens under its jurisdiction, and if mishandled, it would be a devastating disaster for the Federation.

To resist this great calamity, the main bodies of the four individuals in front of him perished in the depths of the wilderness, and they had to embark on an alternative path to divinity. Under the guidance of Marshal Ji, they underwent a transformation and became the present Four Directions God, forever stationed in the Extreme Abyss.

"Some memories, we don't remember anymore, not that we forgot, but because the former us deliberately cut them off, probably because certain things, even if only existing in memory, could bring fatal threats."

In the end.

The four Marshals' main bodies died, and they embarked on the path of Divine Lords.

Senior He nearly perished along with his Dao, with even the marks left behind gradually forgotten.

Marshal Mu left and disappeared, confirmed to have perished thousands of years ago.

Marshal Ji, after overseeing the overall situation of the Federation, and ensuring the four Marshals became true Gods, also went to an unknown place.

The Seven Marshals, who were once invincible in the numberless strong Great Universe a ten thousand years ago, came to a gloomy end, shining like meteors in the boundless Great Universe.

Even for some reason, the Yanhuang Federation has always been a prime target of invasion by the Wilderness Three Demons.

After hearing this story.

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a long time.

He did not mean to judge anyone involved, only silence and sighs.

"Telling you this is to hope you have the correct understanding of history."

"In recent years, the pressure on the Federation in the Heavenly Road has been increasing; relying on the current Federation alone is no longer enough; we need to bring in the power to break the deadlock."

"You need to grow as fast as possible to stand on your own. Whether you decide to go and explore that part of the lost history or find ways to solve the crisis of the Heavenly Road for the Federation... it's all up to you to decide."
