A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1030 - 1016: Summoned by the City Lord
The lazy little snake explained quite a bit to Baiyu.
Baiyu indeed learned that all these challenges were created by this snake, and that its other six brothers basically followed the same pattern.
They were preparing their chosen heirs to adapt ahead of time to this vast and majestic universe.
"Well, the explanations are mostly done. What you need to know is that once the spiritual substance is eliminated on Ancient Blue Star, which is Canglan Star, the entire planet will reconnect with the Human Imperial. The massive impact will directly reshuffle the world at that time."
The lazy little snake said in a grave tone.
Baiyu asked, "What will happen to those deities on Canglan Star?"
"Most of them are just false gods, hiding in the Tidal World, harvesting the planet's faith. Gods relying on the Power of Faith cannot be considered true gods.
The City Lord of the Great City.
Doesn't she possess divine spirit-like power?
With her presence, those demons dare not truly attack Canglan Star."
Indeed, the City Lord of the Great City is formidable.
But Baiyu didn't expect her to be this powerful.
Sun Realm.
Can it really shake the deities of Canglan Star?
"Some deities on Canglan Star are formidable, but others have their reputations exaggerated. Many deities aren't even absolute powerhouses in this Dark Cosmos. When the spiritual substance disperses, there should be another battle."
Upon hearing the lazy little snake's comments.
Baiyu furrowed his brows and didn't continue the topic, instead asking, "Then, can you send me back to Canglan Star now?
Regardless.
The spiritual substance of Canglan Star hasn't vanished yet; I must return to handle matters there first."
"Of course you can; you have passed the test. I can use the power of Seven Coils to send you back now.
However, are you sure you don't want to learn more about it?
The Ji Family indeed seems like a cooperative partner. Once the spiritual substance of Canglan Star disappears, you can quickly familiarize yourself with this universe relying on the Ji Family."
The lazy little snake suggested.
However.
Baiyu had already made up his mind and wouldn't change it.
...
Night.
The gentle wind blew.
When Baiyu set foot on Canglan Star's land again, there was a long-lost familiar feeling, especially after realizing Canglan Star is Earth, this familiarity intensified.
Nonetheless.
After returning through the snake's ability, instead of appearing in the Seven Coils ruins, he found himself outside the Central City.
"I can only use the power of Seven Coils to send you out once; you've used that chance. Afterward, you'll have to wait for the spiritual substance of Canglan Star to disperse.
By the way.
My name is Asdi.
If you wish to ask me anything, feel free to call on me."
Having said this.
The virtual image of the little snake Asdi directly wrapped itself around Baiyu's right arm and gradually disappeared.
Clearly, this creature went into hiding.
Baiyu was outside Central City.
He hadn't moved a few steps before a voice stopped him.
"Looks like you're quite lucky, not dead out there. Otherwise, I'd be troubled, considering I only asked you to rescue someone."
In the sky.
Loloya stood in mid-air wearing a black robe, with a subtle smile on her lips.
Baiyu raised his head, a surging anger rising within him: "You seem quite arrogant, you bastard! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble."
"Alright, alright, it's all over now. You've managed to turn misfortune into fortune anyhow. Even I envy the inheritance from Seven Coils.
There's more pressing matters now."
Loloya spread her hands.
The ground beneath Baiyu's feet instantly cracked, and the massive force lifted that piece of land.
Obviously, a basketball court-sized piece of turf.
Was directly used by Loloya as an aircraft.
Baiyu simply sat down, "Where are you taking me?"
"To meet the City Lord."
Loloya wasn't hiding it.
...
The City Lord of the Great City, with her ever-present mystery, had always intrigued Baiyu.
However.
This City Lord always seemed elusive like a Divine Dragon, Baiyu hadn't seen her even once during his long stay in the Great City.
This time, suddenly seeing her appear at the onset of Seven Coils ruins naturally rekindled Baiyu's suspicions.
If one claims there's no relation between these events, Baiyu would refuse to believe it.
Loloya, carrying Baiyu up in the sky, directly pierced through the clouds where a Legendary Ship larger than Erza was docked.
Such immense size.
Clearly reaches the terrifying tonnage of East Victory Imperial's Victory Queen.
Soon.
With Loloya's guidance, Baiyu entered this spatially terrifying Legendary Ship, marking his first sight of a Legendary Ship outside the East Victory Imperial.
Entering the doors of the Legendary Ship.
Traversing through the long ship bridge, guided by Loloya, they finally reached the ship's main hall.
The space was vast.
Other than a stone chair at the end, the hall was void of anything.
With Baiyu and Loloya entering the great hall.
On the stone chair.
Baiyu noticed a female sculpture suddenly coming to life.
Baiyu was certain.
That before, it was definitely a stone statue of a woman, yet upon their entrance, the sculpture was suddenly alive.
Clearly, she is the City Lord of the Great City.
Though she turned from a statue to a living being, Baiyu still couldn't see her face clearly, as if obscured by a layer of mist.
"Baiyu, you should be aware of the relationship between Canglan Star and the Outer World, right? Inside Seven Coils, this information must have been revealed to you."
The City Lord's voice emerged.
Contrary to Baiyu's expectations, this City Lord sounded like a little girl.
Nevertheless.
Since the situation was out in the open, Baiyu didn't hesitate: "Indeed, I encountered the Human Imperial."
The City Lord nodded: "Yes, you should understand that Canglan Star is merely one small planet in this vast cosmos.
However.
The Spirit Realm linked to Canglan Star is indeed the Spirit Realm of the entire cosmos.
According to my calculations.
In over a year, the Spiritual Qi Revival on Canglan Star will enter the third phase. Then the spiritual substance enveloping Canglan Star will directly vanish.
By then.
Without any protection.
How to confront the massive and grand Human Imperial, this is a very serious issue."
The City Lord seemed to muse aloud.
But.
Beside her, Loloya kept nodding.
Baiyu felt that concerning a planet was useless to ask for his opinion.
Yet this was something he certainly couldn't voice.
Though in the end.
The City Lord indeed seemed to be discussing the matter with Baiyu.
"Once those who obtained the Seven Coils ruin all return, we will carefully discuss this issue. For now, let's attend the council at the Silence Bookstore."
Finished with these words, the City Lord began to gradually petrify again.
Baiyu furrowed his brow: "What council?"
"The Hidden Assembly will determine the future of Canglan Star, everyone related to it will attend there."
As she fully petrified.
The City Lord's lazy voice lingered.
