Chapter 1392: Chapter 465: Heading to the New Star Zone

"Lord Fan Mao, we meet again."

In a much smaller reception room than before, the Emperor, having changed out of his formal robe, sat casually on one side of the reception sofa, gesturing towards the sofa opposite Bai Yi.

Beside him, the Empress had also changed into more casual attire, nodding politely upon seeing Bai Yi’s arrival.

She seemed more lively than before, rather than like a delicate doll.

Most importantly, although both were projections made from energy creations, this time Bai Yi did not sense the deja vu of "chaos" and "silence" concepts.

It seems that such perception is only possible under certain circumstances of power display...

I haven’t fully explored the ability of conceptual attribution yet, or the concepts currently at my disposal, so how could I detect others’ "concepts" so easily.

It was likely only because the Emperor and Empress had employed their abilities that she noticed it.

Bai Yi pondered this possibility.

But on the surface, she responded with a smile and a nod:

"It’s been a while, Your Majesty. I hope the potion I brought you will be satisfactory."

Without exchanging formalities, Bai Yi followed the Emperor’s gesture and took a seat opposite.

If initially she had to show more respect, now that she too has ascended to the Seventh Rank, she is entitled to discard those superfluous courtesies.

"Of course, in the past six months, Lord Fan Mao has provided potions which we have taken note of. Not to mention that this time Lord Fan Mao has also provided an 8th Rank potion...

Heh, it seems Paradise truly lives up to its name. In less than a year, completion of ascension has been achieved so swiftly...

And those few high-tiers, they were just low-tier transcendents not long ago..."

The Emperor deliberately pointed out those witches, with a tone full of implication that he had already uncovered their true identities.

Of course, Bai Yi was not surprised by this, since this was what she intended to demonstrate.

She had even reported to the Three Great Civilizations once when a few "protagonists" fell into her hands and transformed into witches.

After all, even in the Starry Sky, a "protagonist" is undoubtedly a genius.

Her excuse at the time was that all who became members of the territory must undergo magical transformation, and now it is evident that the Gemini has found some way to confirm those witches’ true identities.

She immediately presented the prepared explanation, shaking her head:

"That is just the uniqueness of Paradise, Your Majesty. You should know, our Paradise contractors always have many breakthrough methods, and we lords merely possess more breakthrough means for our subordinates.

This method can only act upon my subordinates, like those few who just recently completed breakthroughs."

"In any case, Lord Fan Mao’s ascension is a fortune for our Gemini.

And in the upcoming Starry Sky Exploration, Lord Fan Mao can achieve even more."

The Emperor was very satisfied with Bai Yi’s explanation. If Bai Yi had truly claimed that the cost wasn’t significant, he might have to reconsider how to treat Bai Yi from now on.

Now it aligns with his own speculations, and since she openly showcased it all, he felt even more that this Lord Fan Mao was trustworthy.

As a contractor with such immense strength, there is cause for caution.

But at the very least, Lord Fan Mao didn’t keep all these strengths hidden but displayed them openly, right?

Any strength, whether within one’s grasp or not, conveys entirely different feelings.

No matter how powerful a force, as long as it listens, there’s no need to worry, but an unruly force, no matter how weak, is an original sin!

Moreover, this strength, in the eyes of others in the Starry Sky, may still be an unsurpassable power; as one of the Gemini Emperors, wouldn’t he know?

"Now back to business, since Lord Fan Mao has ascended to the 8th Rank, it’s naturally impossible to continue collaborating under previous conditions.

And since Lord Fan Mao has brought high-tiers to appear, there should be intent for them to make a move.

Do we need to arrange additional regions for Lord Fan Mao to take over and have them in charge?"

The Emperor proposed proactively; this would normally be impossible.

After all, dividing any region is equivalent to conceding a portion of interests from the Gemini Civilization, especially as this is the initial exploration; occupying more areas means more future gains.

Not to mention, Bai Yi’s subordinates brought here are only a few Seventh Rank.

According to the exploration plans of the Three Great Civilizations, this early exploration should only involve the 8th Rank, relying on their combat power to explore the unknown, handle potentially present powerhouses, and minimize losses.

Simultaneously, this also serves as their interest distribution for the 8th Rank.

Only after this first batch will there be follow-up interest distribution for the sub-level, which is the Seventh Rank.

This is another form of "interest distribution" balance that the Three Great Civilizations have implemented, aside from "suppression," to maintain the stability of the Starry Sky.

Originally, even Bai Yi was given an opportunity for early exploration due to her uniqueness.

Had it not been to curry favor with Bai Yi, he would not have offered this condition.

However, Bai Yi knew full well that she didn’t come to seek more interest distribution opportunities from the Three Great Civilizations this time.

Even if this benefit was tempting even to her.
