Chapter 1390: Chapter 464: The Gemini of Chaos and Silence (6k)_3

On that Emperor, Bai Yi could actually detect a hint of "chaos."

And on that Empress, she sensed a trace of "silence."

"Something’s not right, even through the projection I can feel this...

Could it really be because I just encountered those two concepts, and that’s why I’m sensing this?

But thinking carefully, the Emperor of Gemini has always had the same lineage, and as a cosmic-level civilization, mastering two concepts as a legacy might not be impossible..." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Bai Yi felt a tinge of surprise; after acquiring the ability of "Conceptual Attribution," it was the first time she saw someone in the starry sky who seemed capable of wielding a "concept."

But Bai Yi’s confusion only lasted for a brief moment, as she quickly refocused her attention on the projections of the two emperors upon hearing her name mentioned.

In the brief moment she was pondering, the Emperor had quickly concluded the pleasantries and moved to the main topic:

"...the final date for the Starry Sky Exploration has been set for three days from now.

Since we have the most strength this time, the exploration area assigned to us is the largest.

According to our earlier agreement, all allies will receive an area to explore, and you may retain a portion of the area as your rewards afterwards.

Of course, you may also choose to contribute this portion and exchange it for other resources.

We’ve already screened all the regions available for selection, so let’s first decide on the task allocation and confirm each ally’s specific exploration area.

Should we leave the first choice and subsequent allocations to Lord Fanmao?

I believe no one would object to this."

After the Emperor spoke, a star map of the New Star Zone appeared in the projection’s hands.

The 8th Ranks nodded slightly, not denying this suggestion.

Everyone present was an 8th Rank powerhouse, and there were rarely opportunities for them to duel, so none submitted to the other.

No matter how the selection order was arranged, it would certainly cause dissatisfaction, creating potential resentment that could hinder subsequent cooperative exploration.

But if it’s given to Bai Yi, they all had no objections.

It’s not about strength, but rather because Fan Mao, as the supplier of potions for everyone, had earned everyone’s respect and recognition through his contributions.

After all, these star regions were all unknown, and no one could predict whose luck would be better; the order was merely a matter of respect.

All eyes gathered on Bai Yi.

Having finished considering the information she recorded online during her earlier thoughts, Bai Yi immediately looked at the star map in the Emperor’s hand.

"I’ll choose this location."

After pretending to think for a moment, Bai Yi pointed to a corner near the already explored Star Region on the map.

Compared to last time, this star map was clearly more detailed, indicating some preliminary exploration, but it was still an unknown area, making any selection random.

It’s better to choose a relatively convenient area.

It wouldn’t be too far from the original Starry Sky Society’s star region, and it was also closest to one of those planets with hidden insect swarms she had at the frontier.

"One of the nearest areas, a fine choice—in unknown circumstances, transportation convenience is indeed one of the best choices."

The Emperor nodded approvingly, speaking warmly.

Bai Yi provided ample potions to Gemini over the past six months, even gaining Fan Mao’s favor.

Originally, he had other plans for Fan Mao, but the message received from direct lineage members extinguished that idea.

Otherwise, as Emperor, he wouldn’t have shown such goodwill to a non-direct lineage powerhouse.

As the recipient of his attention, Bai Yi had already discerned the Emperor’s bias.

However, she gave no clear indication, and after settling her area, Bai Yi pondered for a few seconds before continuing:

"As for the remaining selection order, shall we start with the eldest?

Consider it a gesture of respect for the elders."

She understood that subjective ordering was problematic, and the best choice was naturally using certain objective criteria for selection.

The other 8th Ranks were only concerned with appearances and had no objections to this.

In fact, due to Bai Yi’s mention of "elders," they started teasing about who among them was the oldest.

Rather than the earlier tension, the atmosphere turned quite jovial.

Amid the laughter, the exploration areas were all assigned.

"Now that the exploration areas have been decided, they cannot be changed.

The exploration fleet is scheduled to set off in three days; I hope everyone will reach the Star Gate on time. The envoy connected with each of you will provide detailed updates.

Heh, it seems you all have more pressing matters ahead, so I won’t disturb you any further."

The Emperor smiled kindly and nodded at Bai Yi before ending the projection.

Seeing the 8th Ranks around her focusing their attention on her, Bai Yi inwardly mocked the Emperor for making a quick exit. Still, she had to admit, he had played his part well enough.

Clearing her throat, Bai Yi stepped out from the crowd and said:

"Since this is the last gathering before departing to the New Star Zone, such opportunities will be scarce after we arrive there.

As your logistical support, of course, I cannot fall behind.

I believe many already guessed—I have brought a batch of potions for everyone this time too."
