Outside Tiancheng.
The Fourth Holy See, Rosa Darcy, has successfully escaped the territory of the Heavenly City.
The gathering of the Central Continent Star Lords has ended, and her mission has been completed, so there is naturally no need for her to stay any longer.
Darcy moved with a light and graceful figure, her long legs swinging back and forth like ice skaters, each light touch of her toes sending her more than ten feet away.
Recalling the sudden, intense sense of threat she felt while spying outside the Tian Shu Pavilion, Darcy couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine:
"There really are people who can detect the anomaly; I underestimated these star lords."
Darcy's lips curled up slightly, but she quickly regained her confidence and chuckled softly:
"Although I didn't hear much information, I did discover something interesting."
Darcy's eyes gleamed with excitement, and she couldn't wait to return to her companions and tell the other divinities what she had learned.
During her observation, she clearly sensed that the Star Lords of Zhongzhou did not seem to be as united as their Holy Throne.
Darcy revealed a sly smile: "The discord between the Star Lords is good news."
If they could subtly manipulate and exploit this situation, they might even be able to incite infighting among the Star Lords, thus allowing their Holy Throne to win without a fight.
Darcy's beautiful figure quickly disappeared completely into the heavy rain outside the city.
At the same time, Master Chenxuan stood solemnly in front of the boulder where Daxi had leaned earlier.
The talisman in his hand, which had been emitting a faint light, had now completely dimmed.
"The rat escaped." Master Chenxuan frowned, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.
Lei Xiao, who arrived later, was not surprised by this, and simply said:
"It's alright. What was discussed at today's gathering is not a secret. If anyone really wants to find out, they can find out through other means."
Lei Xiao's eyes were deep and thoughtful.
On such an important occasion as the first gathering of Star Lords, the Ninth Star Lord, who is said to possess perception abilities that surpass all others, suddenly found an excuse to be absent.
Meanwhile, during the gathering of the Star Lords, a Holy Throne happened to arrive in the Heavenly City to oversee the event.
All these coincidences intertwined make it hard not to suspect that the Ninth Star Lord knew something all along.
Lei Xiao had a vague feeling that the Ninth Star Lord seemed to be manipulating a huge plan, which included all the Star Lords.
Even though he was already in the middle of it, he still couldn't see the whole picture.
......
Rain weaves a curtain of night, lamplight flickers and shatters, heaven and earth are shrouded in a deep darkness.
Lu Fan went to the top floor alone, seeking some peace and quiet.
Little Black had already lay down and was fast asleep.
Li Yu's gaze fell upon the boundless rainy night outside the window, lost in thought:
Today's gathering was not only marked by Wang Tianzhao's astonishing personality change, but also by the significant transformation of the First Star Lord Lei Xiao, which truly shook Li Yu's heart.
The time since then hasn't been long, but the clarity in Lei Xiao's eyes has completely vanished! In its place are frequent frowns and undisguised fatigue, as if he is under tremendous pressure.
Clearly, Lei Xiao, as the official representative of the Central Plains Star Lords, was not as relaxed as he appeared.
Li Yu's thoughts kept swirling in her mind as she pondered Lei Xiao's words at the Star Lord Gathering.
The Star Lord now faces three major threats.
The first to be affected were the Underworld race who attempted to kill the Star Lord and bring him back to life.
Even if the number of Netherworld Clan members who descend is limited, Li Yu will inevitably be their primary target.
Because of that being named Mingyuan, the old grudges and entanglements between them were quite deep-seated.
Moreover, Mingyuan boasted before leaving that he would definitely come back to find him, and at that time, Mingyuan's strength would probably have increased again.
As for the other two major threats... the deep-sea monsters and the Twelve Thrones.
The deep-sea monsters are currently outside the Great Wall of the Central Plains defense line, seemingly still quite a distance away from the ever-rising sea level.
The Twelve Holy Seats are located far beyond the Central Plains. Although they are like beasts lurking in the shadows, they will not have any interaction with the Star Lords in the short term.
From this perspective, the only threat is the elusive Underworld Clan.
“Mingyuan…” A cold glint flashed in Li Yu’s eyes: “You’d better not keep me waiting too long for your ‘next time’.”
After a moment's thought, just as Li Yu was about to rest.
"Whoosh."
An extremely faint whooshing sound rang out, as if the air in the room had been instantly drawn in and then released.
A petite figure appeared without warning in the center of the room, creating a slight gust of air.
Hey! Li Yu! Did I give you a big scare?
A lively and familiar voice rang out in the room. Li Yu glanced helplessly at Jiang Yue, who had barged in without permission.
Jiang Yue stood with his hands on his hips, a triumphant smile on his face.
Li Yu wasn't too surprised. She sat down to the side and leaned back in her chair.
Jiang Yue squeezed the cute little rabbit doll in his hand and said with a grin:
"Oh dear, Li Yu, don't be so old-fashioned. If you keep going like this, you'll end up like Lei Xiao."
Helpless, Li Yu had no choice but to follow Jiang Yue's lead and mechanically ask:
"Greetings, Fourth Star Lord. You've come so late at night, is there something urgent that you need?"
"Are we getting distant? Can't I come see you if there's nothing wrong?"
Jiang Yue lightly leaped and hopped like a nimble little bird onto the chair next to Li Yu, sitting down and playfully swinging his legs.
Li Yu silently watched her the whole time.
Jiang Yue felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze. He stopped swinging his leg, leaned forward slightly, and the playful expression on his face finally faded, replaced by a rare seriousness.
