"Yes, nobody expected that just conducting an experiment could cause such an undeserved disaster."
"By the way, what were our casualty figures in this war?"
Although Li Xingkong managed to capture the opposing flagship, the battle that had taken place before that must have been extremely fierce, especially since he had seen the wreckage of spaceships everywhere in the space near Venus when he was first awakened.
"Hmm, although the battlefield wasn't completely cleared yet, the casualties were actually much lower than expected."
Regarding the outcome of the war, it was clearly beyond Zhang Yumeng's knowledge; she could only provide a rough estimate based on the current situation.
"Several thousand, tens of thousands?"
Li Xingkong guessed for a moment and thought about the alien flagship. Although he had easily taken it down, it was actually quite powerful. If it were Foundation Establishment cultivator from Earth Star, they really wouldn't be able to handle it.
If its flagship is this powerful, its fleet must be quite formidable as well.
"Too many, too many."
Zhang Yumeng shook her head repeatedly.
"At most, there are probably only a few hundred people. Most of the battles take place on the surface of Venus. Although the fighting is tough, people can be resurrected, so the casualties aren't actually that high."
"Several hundred people..."
Li Xingkong remained silent. Even with the advantage of Venus as a place where resurrection was possible, so many cultivators still lost their lives?
Although it wasn't as much as I had expected, it was still quite a lot.
If, as he predicted, the battle was confined to Venus, then resurrection would be no problem. Since these people perished as a result, the battlefield had most likely shifted to outer space.
Being outside the formation's range meant there was no chance of resurrection.
Anyone who chooses to pursue them into space under such circumstances is a true hero.
"By the way, since you can even resurrect people, you must be able to help them, right?"
After a brief silence, Zhang Yumeng's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Xingkong with hope.
She didn't know exactly how high Li Xingkong level was, but she knew that the Venus Showdown was orchestrated by Li Xingkong.
If he can even resurrect people, then resurrecting these people should be no problem at all.
Looking into Zhang Yumeng's eager eyes, Li Xingkong began to ponder.
The reason they can be resurrected inside Venus is because the grand formation is in effect, but since these people died outside the formation, it will be much more difficult for them to be resurrected.
Moreover, Li Xingkong later used the Ten Thousand Swords Art on the battlefield, which completely obliterated not only the remains but also the ashes.
Although Li Xingkong is strong, he is not strong enough to reverse time or create things from nothing.
Even if one wants to be resurrected, one needs something to rely on.
Even so, there are still ways to revive them.
Being able to fight in space means they are already quite powerful, which gives Li Xingkong the opportunity to revive them.
The stronger a cultivator is, the higher their mental strength will be. In fact, for Foundation Establishment cultivators, their mental strength is already sufficient to condense their Divine Sense.
The advantage of having high mental strength is that they leave traces in space in a way similar to a soul.
If such traces can be found, there is still a chance for revival.
However, such resurrection has great limitations, because the physical body is completely destroyed, and after resurrection, one can only survive as a soul.
This is what is known as ghost cultivation.
Moreover, such a resurrection requires Li Xingkong's personal involvement, and only with his participation can the person's soul be restored through these traces.
Even if he's a ghost cultivator, it doesn't matter anymore. He's been given a second chance at life, so what he becomes doesn't matter.
"Let me think..."
Thinking of this, Li Xingkong responded first, but at this moment, he had already begun to conceive how to find the traces left by these people and how to restore their souls.
Seeing that Li Xingkong did not refuse outright, Zhang Yumeng lit up with joy.
She knew that there was probably some progress on this matter, and Li Xingkong was not opposed to doing it.
Seeing that Li Xingkong was deep in thought, she quietly left the office and closed the door behind her.
He then immediately contacted Old Tang and reported Old Tang Li Xingkong's situation.
After hearing Zhang Yumeng's description, Old Tang immediately convened a brief meeting.
For no other reason than to brainstorm and think about what kind of reward they could give Li Xingkong.
After all, whether it's destroying a ship or rescuing people, those are undoubtedly major achievements. Although Li Xingkong might not care, Divine Land cannot afford not to acknowledge them.
Spiritual plants and elixirs are of little use to Li Xingkong, and he doesn't care much for the cultivation techniques and spells that are currently available in Divine Land. Finding something suitable to give to Li Xingkong is indeed quite difficult.
Reputation and status are meaningless to Li Xingkong. It is no exaggeration to say that any official position in history, or even an emperor, is just a matter of a word to Li Xingkong now.
Even Imperial Capital call themselves the Son of Heaven, so when Li Xingkong calls himself the Heaven of Earth Star, no one really objects.
"I said, since he himself doesn't have any good ideas, why don't we start with his parents?"
"Good idea, but it's still not quite enough."
"Then let's use resources to build up resources, don't worry about wasting them, how about we also get his parents to the Foundation Establishment?"
"That's good, that's a good idea..."
After discussing it among themselves, the majority of the rewards ultimately went to Li Xingkong's parents.
The elderly couple started their cultivation at a relatively old age, and after reaching the Qi Refining, they began to enjoy life and adopted a more Buddhist approach.
However, judging from the way Old Tang and his wife are acting now, it seems the old couple can't stay Buddhist anymore.
After thinking for more than half an hour, Li Xingkong had some ideas.
Not only because he wanted to resurrect these brave warriors, Li Xingkong also had the task of rebuilding the Underworld to complete in his subsequent missions.
Both of them target deceased cultivators, so Li Xingkong naturally connected them in his thinking.
Given Li Xingkong's current cultivation level, it is clearly impossible for him to create a separate spatial cave.
Therefore, the subsequent construction of the Underworld must take place somewhere in reality.
Since this is in reality, this place must have a range of Fallout; beyond that range, its effect will disappear.
Therefore, a method is needed to bring cultivators who die outside the realm of the Underworld into Underworld coverage area.
This is exactly the method Li Xingkong needs now. He wants to find traces of these martyrs in space and bring them to him.
What can carry a soul, move freely, and allow the soul to come and go as it pleases?
Li Xingkong thought about it and realized that there really was a magical artifact that could do that.
