The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen
Chapter 1384 - 463: The "Protagonists" of the Starry Sky (6k)
Starry Sky, Yuriworth Star
"Lord Fan Mao, that’s the situation. I’ve delivered the message, I hope you can arrive on time."
An envoy from the Gemini Civilization said respectfully, but his expression was very enthusiastic, and you could even hear a hint of flattery in his tone.
After conveying the message from the Gemini Civilization, the envoy did not leave but paused and continued:
"This gathering is actually at the behest of the two Majesties, intending to have the high-tier participants bond and ensure the cooperation proceeds smoothly.
It’s said that all Powerhouses participating in the first phase of expansion will be present, and subsidies and resource compensation will be given according to the strength each contributes.
If one can demonstrate more strength, one might gain more...
Also, please allow me to express my gratitude to you, your Potion really helped me a great deal."
"It’s a small thing, just an ordinary Potion, not worth mentioning."
Bai Yi waved her hand and said; she understood what the envoy was referring to.
It was last week when the envoy came to deliver the Gemini Civilization’s message and took the courage to ask her for a High Order Potion to save someone.
She was idle at that time, coincidently advancing in superpower, so with the idea of testing her superpower, she did not refuse. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Now, this envoy clearly intended to return the favor by offering her some insider information.
Although this information wasn’t of much use, honestly.
"No, gratitude is still necessary. If even kindness doesn’t get gratitude, then what about enemies?
My bits of intelligence surely cannot repay the Potion you provided, but I will try my best to repay you."
The envoy answered solemnly and immediately seemed to recall something, continuing:
"Oh, and there’s one more piece of information that might interest you.
The Martial Cultivation Association President who once offended you will also come this time, and recently seems very close to the Great Mage, whom you might need to be cautious of.
The Great Mage’s strength and influence are not to be underestimated, especially with the newly promoted Martial Cultivation Association President..."
"This information is somewhat useful; I see."
Upon hearing this news, Bai Yi’s formerly smiling expression also became serious.
The Martial Cultivation Association President is indeed an individual that calls for her attention.
After all, it’s rare to face a Star Sky Strong Person who clashes with both her identities, overtly and covertly, under the starry sky.
Moreover, this time he’s joined with that equally enigmatic Great Mage, making it hard not to be wary.
"Then Lord Fan Mao, I will not continue to disturb you."
The envoy once again gratefully bowed before leaving behind the items and data that the Gemini Civilization needed to transfer, then turned and left.
Soon, only Bai Yi remained in the guest room within the giant tree.
"Martial Cultivation Association...
Your whole organization is gone, yet the President can still bring trouble...
Ha, but this is also an opportunity.
This time, even the Gemini Emperor plans to make an appearance, which presents the perfect opportunity to reveal my advancement.
Who knows, it might provide an excuse to eliminate him early during this expansion."
Originally, Bai Yi was hindered by identity reasons from taking action, but now that he’s mingling with the Great Mage, things have changed.
Because during the last distribution, the Great Mage openly betrayed the Gemini, and now the Gemini is already intent on subtly curbing the Great Mage.
However, due to the Great Mage’s longstanding status, such suppression cannot be overt.
Yet the Martial Cultivation Association President presents a perfect excuse.
If it’s not feasible to target the Great Mage directly, dealing with the Martial Cultivation Association President might work.
If there’s a chance to get rid of the President close to the Great Mage,
It would send a warning to the Great Mage without openly tearing apart relations, something the Gemini Civilization would not shy away from.
Moreover, the Martial Cultivation Association President is already not trusted, so eliminating him wouldn’t be an emotionally taxing move.
"But caution is still paramount since he’s mingled with the Great Mage, and they might both be faced together when the time comes.
Being an old 8th Rank, caution is wise.
There has always been this sense, through past encounters, that the Great Mage isn’t friendly toward me...
Ha, but now it’s still uncertain whether to take action or not.
Prepare me, for I need to meet the Gemini Emperor."
Sending a command to Shang Ji who was also in the Academy, Bai Yi reached out and grasped in the air, using Soul Armor Teleportation to leave the guest room.
The next moment, Bai Yi arrived at another secluded corner of the planet, off-limits to the public, and the scene before her switched from inside the treehouse to a vast outdoor space.
Though it was outdoor, it was actually surrounded by towering giant trees, their trunks collectively bending inward at a height of more than fifty meters off the ground, with dense foliage blocking out the entire sky.
Only the luminous plants hung among the branches wielded their Transcendent abilities, still radiating a light comparable to that of a star.
This was precisely the personal plot Bai Yi reserved for her witch on this Academy Star, a place for training her witch.
The branches and leaves blocking the sky were to prevent unnecessary prying eyes.
After all, with the technology of the Starry Sky, observing the surface from outer space is a rather simple task.
And the Academy Star, now still one of the more focused places in the Starry Sky, drew countless gazes here.
Like Bai Yi knew, there were indeed quite a few family forces stationed in outer space, backing the noble students present, keeping track of their offspring’s growth trajectories.
