The meeting fell silent for a moment.

After a while.

The Divine Emperor of the East Prosperity Imperial, the elder who had a rather good relationship with Baiyu, said in a calm voice, "We should resolve it as needed. The dispersal of spiritual essence means that we can reconnect with the Human Imperial.

Given Canglan Star's uniqueness, the Human Imperial should not take any excessive actions."

Neither of the representatives from the Free Federation or the Great Yan Dynasty spoke.

At this moment.

The City Lord of the Great City spoke, "I suggest we send a team out first to contact the Human Imperial and learn about their situation.

This team.

Must be strong enough and trustworthy to act as Canglan Star's vanguard."

This way.

Even if the spiritual essence disperses, we will not be entirely ignorant of the outside world." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

No one opposed the City Lord's words.

The Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty asked, "How should we select people? How many should we send?"

The City Lord continued, "We don't need many people; sending two or three from each side will suffice, but they must be reliable.

I will send them in through the Spirit Realm."

After a brief discussion, the plan was swiftly decided upon.

Then.

The topic turned to the matter of the deities in the Spirit Realm.

"Since those deities like to stay in the Spirit Realm, let them remain there. When the Human Imperial enters Canglan Star, their followers might increase, considering the number of different deities in the universe..."

The City Lord's voice was cold, showing no respect for those deities.

From Lazy Little Snake's words, Baiyu learned that the City Lord of the Great City possessed powers not weaker than those of the deities, earning the title of a deity on earth.

Her confidence to make such a statement was clear.

Only she.

Would dare to say such things.

As the spiritual essence was about to disappear, those on Canglan Star who had the guts to say such things were evidently individuals of exceptional strength.

"Besides, we should unite. Canglan Star should be ruled by a unified force to negotiate with the Human Imperial successfully."

The City Lord continued.

Though the others hesitated for a moment, they quickly agreed to the City Lord's suggestion.

"Shall we form a Federation then?"

The elder from the Free Federation said in a solemn voice.

"Let's establish a unified government." The City Lord tapped the table, saying, "This matter is decided."

Soon.

One by one, issues were resolved and settled.

Baiyu quickly understood why individuals like Loloya and himself were summoned to the meeting; many things were too intricate and had to be heard firsthand to be comprehended.

The meeting lasted for a long time.

The five at the center only set the direction for the grand plans, but specific strategies had to be determined by those sitting around them.

This led to.

An extremely slow rhythm for the meeting. Even a day later, they were still discussing how to confront the Human Imperial after the spiritual essence's disappearance.

After resolving various issues.

The meeting finally reached the main event: selecting individuals to head out early from Canglan Star and feel things out before the spiritual essence dispersion.

Each faction had to select some individuals.

This process was conducted in secret. Except for the five leaders, the other attendees left the conference hall to temporarily stay in the luxurious hotel built below the island.

Then.

Late at night, Loloya knocked on Baiyu's door.

"Hey, hey, what's the matter in the middle of the night? Don't tell me you want to have a heart-to-heart talk." Baiyu yawned.

Already at Tier Two of Meteor.

Plus, with the cultivation of the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill, Baiyu indeed did not need to sleep.

However, after returning from Wood Iron Star,

he hadn't rested properly. This night was perfect for sleeping, but Loloya came knocking.

"It's nothing else, just to inform you that you've been selected."

Loloya smiled.

Baiyu raised an eyebrow, "Selected? Selected for what?"

Loloya wore an expression of obvious inquiry, "Of course, selected as a pioneer. The City Lord will personally send us out, and this is my first time leaving Canglan Star, not knowing what the outside world looks like."

Baiyu uneasily said, "You're going too?"

Loloya nodded, "Of course, I am going. Besides, I'm the captain; otherwise, some dangers you encounter might still be unresolved."

"Is there no other choice?"

Baiyu seemed hesitant.

"No, you must go." Loloya showed a devilish smile, "As my last disciple, when a master steps up, how could the disciple remain in the rear?

This is an opportunity."

Moreover,

the master won't treat you unluxuriously."

Loloya had a mysterious look, "Starting tomorrow, I'll take you to the City Lord's domain for specialized power training.

This is your chance to enter the Eclipse Moon Realm.

With your talent and foundation, there's a significant chance of succeeding in becoming an expert in the Eclipse Moon Realm."

Hearing this, Baiyu suddenly became serious, "To ensure Canglan Star's safety, this pioneering mission is something I cannot refuse."

Loloya watched Baiyu's quick transformation and couldn't help but give his shoulder a hefty pat, "Good job, young man, bright future ahead."

...

Early the next morning.

Loloya took Baiyu to board the warship.

In the hall.

Baiyu saw the City Lord's stone statue again.

"Baiyu, I apologize for putting you in danger. As a student of the holy Purple Crystal School and a Count of the East Prosperity Imperial,

I talked to the Divine Emperor about you yesterday.

He trusts you.

Given you've already encountered the outside through the legacy of the Seven Coils.

So, for this task, you were our first choice. I hope you understand.

If you are unwilling.

I will consider other candidates, but as the spiritual essence must eventually disappear, someone has to go. Otherwise, it'll be hard for Canglan Star to integrate into the Human Imperial."

The stone statue said steadily.

"City Lord, what should I do? What should I investigate once out of Canglan Star, and how will I return?"

Baiyu asked solemnly.

"You don't need to investigate anything; I need you and Loloya to establish a communication channel."

At this moment.

The City Lord suddenly said, "The dispersion of spiritual essence is inevitable; we need to understand the surrounding planets' strengths quickly.

Instead of waiting for the spiritual essence to disappear.

Why don't we take initiative to establish a channel, to communicate with the outside?

This task will be supported by a friend of mine, but you currently lack the necessary strength, so I will help you enhance your power during this time."

The City Lord's words undoubtedly caused Baiyu's expression to change.

Establishing a channel.

This was indeed an unmentioned topic in yesterday's meeting.

But.

As the Earth's strongest, the City Lord's decisions were hard for Baiyu to judge.

"Let's not discuss other matters first; we should head to the Tidal World now."

In front of the City Lord.

A black hole suddenly appeared, its enormous gravitational force directly drew Baiyu and Loloya into it.
