After Lapuye finished speaking, the air abruptly fell silent.
No one took the initiative to speak.
It was not that they did not want to speak; they simply did not want to be the first. In many people's eyes, the first to speak had always been an Observer. More or less, they would announce a prophecy that set the benchmark for the exchange meeting. In other words, the prophecy announced by the first speaker might not necessarily influence the future landscape, but at the very least, it would not seem useless.
For instance, at Stargazing Day a year ago, Shura, the "Reader of No Delusion," had been the first to speak. The information he announced had been about the planar fusion on the Pamiji Plateau.
That had been extremely useful information, drawing the vast majority of wizard organizations in the Southern Region to the Pamiji Plateau.
By comparison, the prophecy placed first on Stargazing Day carried considerable weight. None of those present felt that the fragments of prophecy they had seen were qualified to be the first voice.
