Right at this moment.
His Divine Sense communicated with the core of the token.
Hum!
An unimaginably massive, complex, and intricate virtual "relationship network map" appeared within his mental "vision."
The central node of the network was the image of himself.
Extending from this center were countless "threads" of varying thicknesses, diverse colors, and fluctuating brilliance.
Every single thread represented a "relationship" between himself and a certain "entity" within All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
Thick, brilliant threads, blazing like magnificent suns, connected to his younger brother Lu Xiao, Mortal World, Bai Yaoyao, and others.
Slender, dim threads connected to entities whom he had met only once by chance or whose names he merely knew.
Yet, an even greater number of threads remained in a "gray" state!
These threads represented potential targets "with whom a relationship could be established, yet had not yet been forged"!
A thought stirred in Lu Chen's mind, and he attempted to "touch" one of the gray, slender threads.
The information on the other end of the slender thread immediately surfaced:
[Target]: All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, Zone B, Heavenly Machine Pavilion, Current Pavilion Master, Elder Tian Yan (Early Primordial Realm)
[Status]: Relationship can be established
[Relationship options and estimated consumption]:
1. Client and Merchant (Extremely Minimal): You were once a premium client of Heavenly Machine Pavilion with a sound consumption record.
2. Acquaintances by Chance (Minimal): You once crossed paths during a certain grand gathering, exchanging nods of greeting.
3. Friends Across Generations (Minor): You once fortuitously discoursed on the Dao with Elder Tian Yan for three days, mutually appreciating one another.
4. Registered Disciple (Moderate): You once received guidance from Elder Tian Yan, counting as his half-student.
5. Mortal Enemies (Moderate): Due to some misunderstanding or conflict of interest, you are hostile toward one another.
