Chen Ping took out the special communication tool used in the Heart of the Divine Island—the Island Mirror—and began to try to connect. At the same time, he said, "I wonder if Lu Shu, Linafiel and the others have finished their closed-door cultivation."
The connection to the island mirror was quickly established, and Lu Shu's voice, brimming with barely suppressed excitement, came through: "Island Master, you're back?"
Chen Ping saw Lu Shu's excited expression through the island mirror and replied with a smile, "Yes, I'm back. It seems your seclusion was quite effective. What about the others? Have they all finished?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Shu laughed heartily: "Everyone has successfully completed their seclusion, and we are now all at the peak of the God King level."
Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and said with relief, "Very good, our return this time is just in time. Lu Shu, tell everyone to gather in the conference room, we are going to have a meeting."
Lu Shu replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chen Ping put away the island mirror, turned to Gabriel beside him, and suggested, "Alright, we should go to that meeting too."
Gabriel nodded and stepped into the portal with Chen Ping. After entering the conference room, Chen Ping took his seat at the head of the table, while Gabriel waited quietly in her own seat. Not long after, Lu Shu, Linafil, Meng Jia, and others entered the conference room excitedly. Upon seeing Chen Ping sitting at the head of the table and Gabriel beside him, they all greeted him warmly.
"Lord Island Master, you're really back!" Lu Shu spoke first, his words filled with joy.
"Woof! Island Master, we've all advanced to the peak of God King, isn't that amazing?" Mengjia barked excitedly, its tail wagging like a fan.
"Gabriel, did you and the island lord encounter anything interesting while you were out there?" Linaphiel asked curiously.
In an instant, the conference room was bustling with activity, filled with laughter and cheerful conversation. Chen Ping and Gabriel responded to each person with smiles; their interaction was less like that of a leader and subordinate and more like a friendly conversation between friends and partners.
Chen Ping recounted in detail their experiences in the desolate sea, especially the discovery and collection of the fragments of the fundamental rules, and Gabriel's efforts in doing so. Everyone listened with great interest and engaged in a lively discussion about the challenges and opportunities that might lie ahead.
......
Chen Ping: "Alright, enough with the small talk, let's get down to business!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent, then looked at Chen Ping, waiting quietly for him to continue.
Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Lu Shu and Linafeier and asked, "Lu Shu, Linafeier, you are both at the peak of God King now, so shouldn't you be advancing towards the realm of Creator God next?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Shu nodded and said, "Island Lord, that is indeed the plan, but our power of rules is insufficient."
Linafil added, "Right now, there are only nine rules of power in the temple. Even with the creation power obtained from the black market auction, it's not enough for all of us. So we'll wait for you, Island Lord, to return before making any plans."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping laughed and said, "There's no need to worry about that. After we went out this time, I obtained a lot of rule power, which is enough for you to share."
Upon hearing this, Linaphier happily exclaimed, "Is that so? That's wonderful, hehe."
Chen Ping: "Okay, that problem is solved. Let's move on to the next one, Linafil. Have the little angels been born yet? How many are there?"
Upon hearing this, Gabriel couldn't help but turn to look at Linafil.
Linafil: "Yes, 777 little angels have been born in the past few years, and now they are studying with the fairies and mermaids."
"By the way, Island Master, the little angels and the newborn elves and mermaids, their current strength is that of a high-level god from birth."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded. It's normal to be born as a superior god. After all, the Heart of the Divine Island is not only located in the core sea area, but its resources are also inexhaustible. Therefore, it attaches great importance to newcomers and provides them with resources immediately.
Chen Ping smiled and asked, "Besides elves, mermaids, and angels, what about other races? Are there many newborns?"
Lina Phil went on to explain: "As for other races, although the rate of newborn births is relatively slow and the gestation period for each pregnancy is usually long, taking about a year or even longer, overall, each race has experienced varying degrees of growth."
Chen Ping expressed his understanding and acceptance: "Yes, the number of newborns is not the only standard for measuring development. What is important is continuous reproduction and growth. If anyone has anything else to report, please feel free to do so."
At this point, Lu Shu raised a new concern: "Island Master, although there are no particularly important matters, I have noticed that recently there have been ships lingering around the perimeter of the Heart of the Divine Island. I wonder if they are passing by by chance or if it is intentional."
Chen Ping was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but quickly regained his composure and analyzed: "Considering the powerful array surrounding our Heart of the Divine Island, it's virtually impossible for anyone without the cultivation of a late-stage Creator God to discover this place. Even if someone accidentally glimpses the Heart of the Divine Island, we don't need to worry too much."
Currently, our strength in the core sea area is top-notch, and we can easily handle even stronger opponents. Once you all break through to the Creator God realm, our overall strength will reach a new level, enough to meet any challenge.
Chen Ping instructed: "This matter requires close attention, but there is no need for excessive anxiety. Send reconnaissance personnel to observe covertly and ascertain the true intentions of these ships. At the same time, we must strengthen vigilance to ensure the safety of the Heart of the Divine Island, just in case."
Anlula then spoke up, "Yes, I've already sent people to observe. They're all mermaids skilled in concealment, and their strength is all at the mid-stage of the God-King realm, which is enough. Although they only recently appeared, they've still managed to find out some information."
According to some of their crew members, they seem to be searching for something, and the search area is the entire sea, not just here. I've also sent out quite a few mermaids to scout around, but they haven't returned yet; after all, only three days have passed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping frowned. Were they looking for something? After thinking for a moment, he said, "Whatever they're looking for, as long as they haven't left this place, we can't give up monitoring them."
At this moment, Sheruojia also spoke up, "Island Lord, I will send people out to investigate now to see if they are really looking for something, or something else."
