136: What's past is past.
It could be said that Little Sakura Country was on the verge of annihilation.
And this was just one Alien Beast Rift invasion.
Of course, there were precedents of nations being destroyed due to alien beast attacks from an Alien Beast Rift.
But that was decades ago.
Decades ago, when technology was still somewhat advanced, high-tech thermal weapons could be used against these alien beasts.
But not anymore.
Once one's strength reached the Saint-Grade, or even Emperor-Grade, a single person was equivalent to a nuclear bomb, a walking nuclear bomb.
Moreover, their normal attacks had the destructive power of a nuclear bomb.
Ordinary weapons were no longer enough to threaten the alien beasts.
Unless technology could rapidly Breakthrough and gain technological power similar to the Machina-Punk Clan.
Otherwise, they could only rely on Beast Taming to quickly grow stronger and gain the ability to protect their country.
Now, in Little Sakura Country, most of the strong individuals who had been dispatched to Jingdong had been wiped out in this battle.
The remaining Beast Masters in Little Sakura Country, the strongest among them, were probably only at the King-Level Beast Master level.
Even the remaining population was only a few million.
Although it could be compared to a small country, it was truly a tragic situation compared to their original population of tens of millions.
All countries in the world were now contemplating how to deal with the current global situation.
Meanwhile, Li Zun silently recalled his Three-Headed Holy Dragon into his Beast Taming Space.
Although his Three-Headed Holy Dragon could control her power to stay on Blue Star, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still recalled her into his Beast Taming Space.
Anyway, she could still know what was happening outside from within her Beast Taming Space, so recalling his Three-Headed Holy Dragon was very appropriate.
“It’s finally resolved.”
After dealing with the Five-Tailed Demonic Fox and the Yamata no Orochi, Li Zun let out a sigh of relief.
Indeed, the air outside was much fresher.
At home, the air was extremely stifling, even making him feel despair at one point.
Is this the breath of freedom?
For a moment, Li Zun regretted running off to rescue his wife.
Being dormant for over a decade was truly terrifying!
He had actually released a terrifying demon!
Li Zun felt a bit of regret.
However, this was only a fleeting thought.
If he could choose again, Li Zun would still choose to rescue Yang Qian.
Although, she herself hadn't suffered any hardships in the Forbidden Ground.
In fact, because she was Yang Jian’s daughter, she had been well-fed and well-cared for in the Forbidden Ground.
Li Zun even discovered that Yang Qian had gained a little weight over the years.
The food was too good.
But this might also be due to Yang Qian not exercising much.
“Sigh, I have to go back again.”
Li Zun looked at the setting sun in the sky, feeling a bit aggrieved.
After going back, he would have to face the tigress at home again.
Now, Li Zun only hoped that something in the Universe would require his intervention; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to hold on.
“Brother Li.”
Just then, Saint Heaven came to Li Zun’s side, casually rubbing her hair with her fingers.
Her expression was slightly shy.
“Saint Heaven, I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about the safety of our Blue Star.”
“It truly surprised me.”
Although he knew Saint Heaven would likely take action.
But her actually taking action was quite unexpected.
After all, Saint Heaven was the leader of the Holy Angel Clan.
Once she took action, it was equivalent to interference.
It was somewhat unreasonable.
At the very least, those Old Guy in her clan would probably cause some trouble.
“After all, this is Brother Li’s homeland.”
“If my homeland were in danger, Brother Li, you would also take action, wouldn’t you?”
Saint Heaven looked at Li Zun with a hint of expectation, and Li Zun clearly knew what Saint Heaven was trying to do.
She simply wanted to establish some connection with him.
However, given their friendship, if Saint Heaven’s homeland were in danger, he would indeed go to help.
After all, they had made a deal.
At the very least, his Li Corporation enterprise was also present within the Holy Angel Clan.
Today, the Li Corporation had spread throughout the entire Universe.
Except for forces hostile to them, the Li Corporation could be found in almost every allied faction's sphere of influence.
Of course, this had only happened in a short few decades.
If given some time, Li Zun believed his Li Corporation could become the number one corporation in the Universe.
“Yes, you’re right, after all, we are friends.”
Tsk...
Just then, Yang Qian’s voice echoed in Li Zun’s ears.
Clearly, this was Yang Qian’s telepathic message.
She sensed their presence and was somewhat displeased.
However, to save Li Zun’s face, she didn’t show anything, but instead issued a slight verbal warning.
Li Zun immediately understood and looked at Saint Heaven in response.
“If you need any help, just ask me, and if those Old Guy make things difficult for you, tell them my name!”
“I think the title of Titled Emperor Venerable still has some use.”
Saint Heaven immediately felt relieved; indeed, nothing could compare to the promise of a Titled Emperor Venerable.
“If I had chosen you back then, do you think our outcome wouldn’t have changed?”
Li Zun’s expression froze slightly after hearing that.
Back then, there was indeed some ambiguity between him and Saint Heaven.
After all, they were young and reckless.
During his time at Cosmic Academy, he had many confidantes.
Even Yang Qian was just one of them.
However, for some reason, he ultimately chose Yang Qian and abandoned his confidantes?
Thinking this, Li Zun still felt that his choice was absolutely correct.
He even wanted to give himself a thumbs-up.
Just one Yang Qian was already so difficult for him to handle.
If there were a few more, even if his body was comparable to a Hong Level alien beast, he wouldn’t be able to endure it!
“Cough cough, Saint Heaven, you don’t need to say all this; what’s past is past.”
“What’s most important for us now is to look forward to the future.”
“Alright, I should go back.”
Saying this, Li Zun left without looking back, leaving only a lonely figure standing there.
Saint Heaven sighed helplessly; indeed, she still regretted choosing to become the leader.
If she had been more resolute in her scheme back then, Yang Qian wouldn’t have stolen a march on her!
In fact, standing beside Li Zun now would have been her, Saint Heaven, and not Yang Qian!
Saint Heaven suddenly thought of this, and her hatred was immense!
She hated herself for not being so ruthless back then!
