The Supremes Gather, a Storm Approaches
Although Lin Yi had a slight doubt in his heart because he noticed the subtle abnormality of the two Spirit Race Supremes, now was clearly not the time to investigate.
His expression remained unchanged as he prepared to step aside with the Eternal Beginning Dominator to lead the Primeval Cosmos Supreme and the Bright Moon Supreme inside.
However, at this very moment, as if by prior arrangement, the void in the Star Abyss Hall, which was shrouded by the spacetime Origin Law field, once again rippled with two completely different, yet equally vast, fluctuations of will.
One will is profound and domineering, the other is cold and violent.
Two blurry figures converged on the welcoming platform almost simultaneously.
The figure on the left initially appeared as a ferocious and majestic dragon beast, its entire body covered in dark, abyss-like scales, with curved, menacing horns on its head, and vertical pupils that seemed capable of sucking away souls. It exuded a terrifying aura that caused space to slightly distort and annihilate itself; it was none other than the Dark Annihilation Supreme of the Abyss Race.
The figure on the right was an elegant yet deadly beauty—the Queen of the Devouring Race. Her carapace shimmered with iridescent light, her compound eyes were cold and merciless, and countless tiny energy tentacles swayed in the void, emitting a chilling fluctuation. She was none other than the Devouring Race's Frost Rainbow Supreme.
The True Body forms of the two supreme beings lasted only a moment, seemingly merely announcing their arrival.
Immediately afterwards, the light flowed, and the two figures rapidly shrank and transformed into Human Race forms.
The Dark Annihilation Supreme transformed into a rugged and resolute man, wearing a simple yet incredibly heavy suit of armor. Just standing there, he resembled an ancient divine mountain capable of suppressing galaxies, exuding a deep and domineering aura.
The Frost Rainbow Supreme Ni transformed into a tall, graceful woman with an incomparably charming face. She wore a long, dark blue dress made of countless fine crystals, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, and her eyes possessed a captivating charm, yet deep within them lay a cold rationality and an indifference that looked down upon all living beings.
Lin Yi understood that the two Supreme Beings transforming into Human Race form was not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of respect for him, the host of the celebration.
After all, this is Silver Blue Star, the territory of the Human Race, and also his celebration.
"Dark Annihilation, Frost Rainbow, you've arrived." Primeval Cosmos Supreme stepped forward, his voice calm.
Lin Yi also bowed slightly. "Star Abyss greets the two supreme beings."
"Chu Yu." The burly man, transformed from the Dark Annihilation Supreme, spoke in a deep, resonant voice, like rumbling thunder. He nodded slightly to Primeval Cosmos Supreme, then his gaze swept over Heng Shi, finally settling on Lin Yi. "Star Abyss Ruler, congratulations."
Although the words were congratulatory, the tone was flat and emotionless, revealing little emotion.
Frost Rainbow Supreme smiled slightly as she looked at Lin Yi, "Star Abyss Ruler, you truly live up to your reputation."
Her gaze lingered on Lin Yi for a moment, a gaze that seemed to penetrate appearances and reach the essence of things.
However, Lin Yi also keenly noticed that deep within the eyes of this Supreme Being of the Devouring Race, there seemed to be a subtle and imperceptible solemnity.
Or rather, it's a kind of contemplation that transcends the immediate celebration.
Lin Yi's heart stirred slightly.
The congratulations from these two supreme beings seemed perfectly normal, but upon careful observation, he vaguely sensed that neither the Dark Annihilation Supreme nor the Frost Rainbow Supreme seemed to be fully focused on the celebration before them.
It was an extremely subtle kind of "absence of attention," and if he hadn't noticed Chu Yu and Zhaoyue's slight abnormality first and become more vigilant, it would have been difficult to discern.
These four beings standing at the pinnacle of the universe seem to... all harbor secrets?
The thought raced through Lin Yi's mind, but his expression remained impassive, maintaining a polite smile, "You two are too kind. Star Abyss is unworthy of such praise. Please come inside."
The Eternal Beginning Dominator also stepped aside at the opportune moment, making an inviting gesture.
The four supreme beings nodded slightly and said nothing more. Led by Lin Yi and the Eternal Beginning Dominator, they slowly walked towards the viewing area at the core of the Star Abyss Hall.
There was little communication between them, and the few glances they exchanged were uneventful, but the aura and presence of those at the supreme level made the space and time in this area seem even more solid.
As the group stepped into the grand plaza paved with Time Jade and surrounded by nine Time-Space Pillars, countless powerful figures who had already taken their seats according to their races and strength levels stood up almost simultaneously, their gazes fixed on the six figures that were slowly approaching.
The Eternal Beginning Dominator, the pillar supporting Human Race.
Primeval Cosmos Supreme and Bright Moon Supreme are the supreme leaders of the Spirit Race.
Dark Annihilation Supreme and Frost Rainbow Supreme, the supreme rulers of the Abyss Race and the Devouring Race.
And then there was the young figure, Lin Yi, the Star Abyss Ruler, who, though slightly behind the Supreme Beings, seemed to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Unlike the last time when Lin Yi was promoted to the Venerable Lord, when only one avatar of the Bright Moon Supreme descended, it caused countless powerful figures to marvel and be shocked. This time, however, all the Sovereigns and Venerable Lords present felt it was only natural that all four Supremes arrived together.
Yes, of course.
Because the young man walking beside the Eternal Beginning Dominator was not only a newly promoted Time and Space Ruler, but also someone who triggered the connection of the Origin Universe Tower and obtained a two-star mark that had never appeared before.
Faced with the momentous event of the connection that could alter the entire cosmic landscape, and the unknown potential and status represented by the two-star mark, even the presence of the Supreme Being seemed perfectly natural.
In the eyes of many powerful figures, Lin Yi's current status is, to some extent, comparable to that of a supreme being.
This is a silent endorsement, a consensus based on strength, potential, and the importance of the events it triggers.
Lin Yi could clearly feel the weight contained in those countless gazes.
He knew that at this moment he represented not only himself, but also Human Race, and he had to show the demeanor befitting that role.
He and the Eternal Beginning Dominator led the four supreme beings to the main guest seat, which was the highest position in the square with the best view and represented the pinnacle of the universe.
With the four pinnacle beings of the universe taking their seats, the invisible pressure eased slightly.
As the Eternal Beginning Dominator of the ceremony, the figure flashed and appeared in the center of the square.
"Gentlemen."
Just two words were enough to draw everyone's attention.
"Today, we gather here to celebrate the ascension of our Human Race's Star Abyss Lord to the realm of Dominator."
"This is a blessing for our Human Race, a joy for the Pan-Spirit Alliance, and an opportunity to usher in a new chapter for our universe."
The gaze of the Eternal Beginning Dominator swept across the entire arena, lingering briefly on the four Supreme Beings before finally settling on Lin Yi.
"The celebration begins."
There were no lengthy speeches, no cumbersome procedures.
At this level, on this occasion, simplicity is all the more solemn.
As the voice of the Eternal Beginning Dominator fell, the nine spacetime pillars surrounding the Star Abyss Hall suddenly lit up with a dazzling silver-gray light, which complemented the spacetime radiance flowing through the palace itself.
Above the entire spacetime plaza, the invisible Origin Law spacetime were activated, giving rise to a variety of magnificent and mysterious phenomena.
The illusory image of the River of Time appears and disappears, and the layers of space unfold like petals blooming. Stars are born and die, and the universe begins... This is a tribute to the newly established ruler, and also a symbol of a new era.
The distant and grand music rose from nowhere, and could not be played by ordinary instruments. It was more like a resonance of the laws of the universe, cleansing the soul and shaking the spirit.
The celebration has officially begun.
At the instruction of the Eternal Beginning Dominator, Lin Yi slowly walked towards the circular platform in the center of the square.
When he stood still, facing the guests from all directions, a vast and harmonious aura of majesty naturally spread out.
All the Human Race members in the square offered their congratulations in unison.
Congratulations, Lord Star Abyss!
The Eternal Beginning Dominator then addressed the entire audience. "The achievements of the Star Abyss Sovereign mark the beginning of a new Epoch for our Human Race."
Here, we Human Race are willing to stand together with all intelligent races, upholding the spirit of exploration and development, and jointly face the future.
These words were both a declaration and a setting of the tone.
This links Lin Yi's personal achievements to the new era of Human Race, and subtly extends this message to all forces, especially the Abyss Race.
The Devouring Race conveys a new attitude towards the future.
This was followed by speeches from representatives of all parties.
Primeval Cosmos Supreme, as the leader of the Spirit Race, spoke first. Her voice was gentle yet powerful. She affirmed Lin Yi's achievements and the potential of the Human Race, reiterated the close alliance between the Spirit Race and the Human Race, and expressed her expectation for continued cooperation in the future.
The speech by the Bright Moon Supreme was even more brief. She congratulated Lin Yi and mentioned the union of Lin Yi and Aurelia, calling it "a model of sincere affection," her words carrying a gentle expectation for the younger generation.
It was the turn of the Abyss Race and the Devouring Race's supreme rulers.
The burly man, transformed from the Dark Annihilation Supreme, stood up, his deep voice resounding. "Star Abyss Ruler, your achievements are extraordinary. Human Race has gained another pillar. The future universe is ushering in a new era."
The alluring woman, transformed from the Frost Rainbow Supreme, rose gracefully. "The Devouring Race congratulates Star Abyss on reaching the Dominator Realm. The future is long; I hope we will have more opportunities for exchange."
Both dignitaries gave rather restrained speeches, focusing on Lin Yi's achievements and future potential, which is a clear signal.
As the protagonist, Lin Yi gave a brief thank-you speech after the speeches from all sides, expressing his gratitude to the Eternal Beginning Dominator for his guidance.
We are grateful for the support of the Human Race, the friendship of the Spirit Race, and the presence of the Supreme Beings of the Abyss Race and the Devouring Race.
His speech was neither arrogant nor humble, demonstrating the demeanor of a newly appointed leader, and expressing his willingness to explore the future and seek common development with all parties.
After the speeches, the celebration moved into the networking and banquet phase.
Inside and outside the Star Abyss Hall, delicacies and fine wines were displayed, creating a solemn yet harmonious atmosphere.
The four supreme beings sat at the head table, conversing in hushed tones. Lin Yi, as the protagonist of the day, needed to move around and receive congratulations from various powerful figures.
He handled the situation appropriately and with composure, maintaining both necessary dignity and proper etiquette.
Aurelia, acting as the hostess, accompanied Lin Yi and assisted with the reception.
Time passed, and the banquet gradually came to an end.
The Eternal Beginning Dominator stood up once more.
The square quickly fell silent.
The Eternal Beginning Dominator smiled as his gaze swept across the entire arena, lingering for a moment on the Bright Moon Supreme, a deep and resolute gentleness flashing in his eyes.
He spoke slowly, his voice carrying clearly to every corner. "Ladies and gentlemen, on this occasion of today's grand ceremony, I have something personal to share with you all, and I ask that you bear witness to it."
His words resonated with many powerful individuals who knew the inside story.
The gaze of the Eternal Beginning Dominator became distant, his voice carrying a serenity born of the passage of time. "Throughout the long years, protecting our people is our responsibility, exploring the path ahead is our mission. Yet the universe is vast, and life is wondrous; there are always some existences and ties that can transcend time, becoming an indispensable part of our journey."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhaoyue and slowly said, "Now, standing at this new starting point, there are some things that must be said. Zhaoyue, today, with all of you as witnesses, I want to tell you, and also to all those present..."
I am willing to walk alongside you from this day forward, no matter what the future holds.
Countless eyes were focused on the Bright Moon Supreme.
Zhaoyue slowly stood up, looked at Heng Shi, and a radiant smile bloomed on her beautiful face.
"Heng Shi, I've been waiting for these words for a long time."
A simple response, yet carrying immense weight.
At this moment, Primeval Cosmos Supreme also slowly stood up. She looked at Heng Shi and Zhaoyue and smiled, "Heng Shi, Zhaoyue."
I am so happy for you both. May you always be together, hand in hand, walking hand in hand.
As the first supreme being of the Spirit Race, her blessing was undoubtedly the most significant recognition.
A genuine, heartfelt smile appeared on the face of the Eternal Beginning Dominator.
Congratulations to the Eternal Beginning Dominator! Congratulations to the Bright Moon Supreme!
Congratulations poured in like a tidal wave.
Lin Yi stepped forward at the opportune moment to offer his sincerest blessings. The Eternal Beginning Dominator smiled and nodded at him, while the Bright Moon Supreme also cast a grateful glance at him.
The celebration drew to a close amidst this double celebration.
Guests began to take their leave one after another, departing with a sense of awe and endless contemplation about the future.
In the end, only the Eternal Beginning Dominator, the Bright Moon Supreme, the Primeval Cosmos Supreme, the Dark Annihilation Supreme, the Frost Rainbow Supreme, and Lin Yi remained in the plaza.
The noise subsided, and the atmosphere became quiet.
Primeval Cosmos Supreme's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Dark Annihilation Supreme and Frost Rainbow Supreme.
"Dark Annihilation, Frost Rainbow, I have something to discuss with you. I think... the fact that you've stayed until now probably means you have something to say."
She paused slightly, turned her gaze to Lin Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then added, "Star Abyss, you should listen too."
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this was likely related to the four supreme beings' earlier vague absent-mindedness.
The burly man transformed from the Dark Annihilation Supreme and the woman transformed from the Frost Rainbow Supreme exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with solemnity, as if they had anticipated this.
"Agreed," said the Dark Annihilation Supreme.
"We do need to discuss this," Frost Rainbow Supreme nodded.
Primeval Cosmos Supreme nodded slightly, said no more, raised her hand and waved it gently.
In an instant, the surrounding scenery rippled like water, and the Star Abyss Hall, the plaza, and the starry sky of Silver Blue Star all faded away.
The next moment, the five of them found themselves in an incredibly vast, pure white space.
The space is extremely simple, with only five high-backed chairs in a circular arrangement, radiating a hazy glow and featuring an antique design.
Lin Yi knew that this was a virtual conference room O constructed by Primeval Cosmos Supreme directly accessing the highest level of authority in the cosmic Virtual Network.
The five people took their seats.
Without exchanging pleasantries, Primeval Cosmos Supreme looked at Dark Annihilation Supreme and Frost Rainbow Supreme and said directly, "Dark Annihilation, Frost Rainbow."
"Lately... have you felt a strange sense of oppression?"
"It's not about any specific event, but rather a... ominous sign of crisis originating from the depths of the soul?"
Upon hearing this, the Dark Annihilation Supreme said in a deep voice, "Yes. This feeling comes and goes, but it has become increasingly clear recently."
Even the stunningly beautiful Frost Rainbow Supreme's face showed a rare hint of gloom. "I have the same feeling, as if some kind of shadow is approaching."
Lin Yi sat in his high-backed chair, listening to the conversation of the supreme beings, his heart filled with turbulent waves.
Judging from this, the four supreme beings at the pinnacle of the universe have all sensed a premonition of crisis originating from the depths of their souls!
The fact that four supreme beings could simultaneously feel alarmed must mean that this was a momentous event that could shake the entire Main Universe and even its very foundation!
Just as Lin Yi was deeply shaken, he suddenly felt four pairs of eyes fall on him almost simultaneously.
Chu Yu, Zhaoyue, Dark Annihilation, Frost Rainbow, the four supreme beings, were all watching him.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.
They were watching to see if he, the recipient of the two-star mark and the key figure who triggered the connection, also had similar perceptions, or if he had obtained some additional clues through the Origin Universe Tower mark.
He composed himself, carefully recalling his recent state, and then said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... Your Excellencies, I... haven't felt anything."
He considered himself to have a very high level of control over his own state and the surrounding environment, but he had not been able to capture the oppressive warning feeling described by the four supreme beings.
Upon hearing this, Primeval Cosmos Supreme sighed, "It seems that this kind of perception may indeed be unique to us."
She paused briefly before continuing, "After sensing this anomaly, Zhaoyue and I jointly searched the edge of the Main Universe's bubble membrane and the surrounding Chaos Cosmic Sea. But... everything was normal. The chaotic air currents, the Cosmic Sea Wonder... compared to the observation records of countless years past, there were no significant anomalies or signs of any approaching special threat."
"Our Abyss Race is the same," the Dark Annihilation Supreme said in a deep voice. "I have also repeatedly confirmed in the surrounding area that the Chaos Cosmic Sea is calm and tranquil, and no signs of impending catastrophe that could threaten the structure of the entire Main Universe have been found."
Frost Rainbow Supreme nodded slightly, indicating that the Devouring Race's observations were similar.
The trail seems to have gone cold.
The Supreme Beings fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
This inexplicable sense of crisis, like water without a source or a tree without roots, lingered in their hearts in a very real way.
"Perhaps..." Bright Moon Supreme's gentle voice broke the silence, "... related to the Origin Universe Tower?"
Her gaze swept over the crowd. "Recently, the only two major events in the Main Universe that can be considered to have an impact on the entire cosmic landscape are: first, the early opening of the Origin Universe Tower; and second,... the connection triggered by the Star Abyss. Both of these events are beyond our previous understanding and control."
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Dark Annihilation Supreme: "That makes sense. The Origin Universe Tower itself is mysterious and unpredictable, and its connections are even more unknown. Perhaps it is the initiation of the connection process, or some unknown change in the Origin Universe Tower system, that triggered a reaction, causing us to feel alarmed."
"Or perhaps..." Frost Rainbow Supreme interjected, "There might be some kind of disturbance or fluctuation in the communication, which could attract... something we don't yet know about."
She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone present understood what she meant.
The activation of such a mysterious entity as the Origin Universe Tower may have been detected by even more powerful beings.
After some discussion, although there were some guesses, there was a lack of empirical evidence, and ultimately, the specific source and form of the crisis could not be determined.
"Since we cannot pinpoint the source, we can only adopt the safest approach," Primeval Cosmos Supreme said slowly. "Internal strife is absolutely out of the question. Not only that, we must also enhance our overall strength to cope with any eventuality."
This proposal was endorsed by the other three Supreme Beings.
"Indeed," said the Dark Annihilation Supreme. "Even without this inexplicable omen, facing the impending interconnection and the unknown new situation, improving our strength is the top priority."
"Strengthening the foundation of our race and cultivating more powerful individuals is always the right thing to do," Frost Rainbow Supreme agreed. "Especially for those at the Venerable Lord Rank. If the crisis truly originates from the Chaos Cosmic Sea, even God-level beings wouldn't be qualified to participate in the defense."
After some discussion, the four supreme beings quickly reached a consensus:
After each race returns, some of their previously strictly controlled racial reserves, heritage sites, or special resources will be opened up as appropriate to accelerate the cultivation of existing powerhouses, especially to help top gods who are stuck at a bottleneck to break through to the Venerable Lord Rank.
In addition, we must increase resource allocation and training for promising talents, striving to improve both the quantity and quality of the clan's core strength before a potential crisis occurs.
Finally, although they could not completely unite and set aside past grievances, the Supremes agreed to maintain a certain level of communication on important information to avoid misjudging the situation due to information gaps.
After discussing these macro-level countermeasures, the atmosphere in the virtual space seemed to ease somewhat.
At this moment, Frost Rainbow Supreme turned her gaze to Lin Yi, "Star Abyss Ruler."
Lin Yi's expression turned serious. "Frost Rainbow Supreme."
"The previous war among the three races was a struggle for living space and resources, unrelated to fundamental hatred," Frost Rainbow Supreme said slowly. "Now that there are common warning signs, we may need to join hands in the future. The Kunmo Devouring Race Kunmo Race, previously occupied part of the Human Race territory..." She paused slightly, "... I will order them to return it all, and... provide double compensation, as a token of the Devouring Race's goodwill."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was filled with mixed emotions.
The Kunmo Race and the Human Race have been entangled on the border for countless Epoch, resulting in the deaths of countless lives. Now, simply because Lin Yi become a holder of the two-star mark, the Supreme of the Devouring Race has made the Kunmo Race not only relinquish all their spoils of war with a single, casual remark, but also demand double the compensation.
Indeed, strength is the foundation for gaining respect and peace.
Lin Yi knew that the Supreme Being of the Devouring Race would most likely compensate the Kunmo Race for their losses in other ways, but this gesture alone was enough to explain everything.
"Thank you, Your Frost Rainbow Supreme." Lin Yi accepted this gesture of goodwill and compensation without any pretense of refusal.
This is what he and Human Race deserve.
The major decisions have been made; there's no need to discuss the details here.
Primeval Cosmos Supreme was the first to stand up. "In that case, let's all go back and make our own arrangements. We'll contact you again if there are any new discoveries or changes."
"Alright," replied the two Supreme Beings, Dark Annihilation Yan and Frost Rainbow.
The pure white virtual space faded away like flowing water.
The next moment, the five people regained their consciousness, and their figures reappeared in the now tranquil space-time square in the Star Abyss Hall.
After the three supreme beings, Chu Yu, Dark Annihilation, Frost Rainbow, nodded slightly to Lin Yi, their figures disappeared one after another.
Only the Eternal Beginning Dominator, the Bright Moon Supreme, and Lin Yi remained in the plaza.
Unlike the other three supreme beings Bright Moon Supreme did not leave immediately.
She looked at the Eternal Beginning Dominator and briefly explained what had just happened.
The Eternal Beginning Dominator was silent for a moment before sighing, "No wonder... Some time ago, I always felt that you seemed somewhat uneasy, but when I asked you, you only said that you were fine. So it was because of this matter."
Bright Moon Supreme's face showed a hint of apology. "I originally wanted to tell you. But Sister Chu Yu said that this matter was merely a feeling, without any concrete evidence. She suggested that we not reveal it before the celebration, lest it cause unnecessary trouble. After the celebration, we should ask Dark Annihilation and Frost Rainbow to confirm that it's not a feeling unique to our Spirit Race, and then we can discuss it further. So I..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.
The Eternal Beginning Dominator gently grasped her hand and shook his head. "I understand. This arrangement is more prudent."
The apology in Bright Moon Supreme's eyes deepened, and she said in a low voice, "Heng Shi, originally... I was thinking that after the celebration ended and things settled down, we might be able to... go out for a walk alone, especially... go back there and take another look."
Her voice was soft, tinged with a barely perceptible hint of melancholy, "Now..."
Upon hearing this, the Eternal Beginning Dominator revealed a gentle smile.
He patted the back of Bright Moon Supreme's hand. "It's alright. There's still a long road ahead. Right now, this kind of alarm concerning the safety of the universe is naturally the highest priority. You need to return to the Spirit Race to oversee the arrangements with Primeval Cosmos Supreme, open up our resources, and adjust our strategies. I also need to stay with the Human Race to convene the Supreme Council with Star Abyss to deal with the changing situation."
"It's not too late to go back and take a look after this matter... settles down."
The Bright Moon Supreme looked at him, her eyes softening, and gently nodded. "Mm."
The two exchanged a few more words in hushed tones, and then, after Bright Moon Supreme nodded to Lin Yi, her figure gradually faded away.
Now, only the Eternal Beginning Dominator and Lin Yi remain here.
The gentle expression on the face of the Eternal Beginning Dominator quickly vanished, replaced by solemnity.
He looked at Lin Yi: "Star Abyss, you are aware of the situation. The simultaneous sensing by four Supreme Beings is no small matter. Although we haven't found the cause yet, we must act immediately and prepare for the worst. Therefore, we will immediately return to Origin Abyss Star and convene an emergency meeting of the Supreme Council! We will briefly report the situation to the Supreme Beings and simultaneously activate the highest contingency plan for Human Race's war preparedness and potential exploitation!"
Lin Yi immediately nodded. "That's right, there's no time to lose, let's leave now. The Venerables have just left, let them go to Origin Abyss Star immediately."
Without any hesitation, with a slight thought, his divine sense instantly locked onto Aurelia, who was in a side hall of the Star Abyss Hall, finishing up the last bit of work with several high-ranking members of the Silver Blue Civilization.
A gentle voice resonated directly in her heart.
"Ellie, there's an emergency. I need to return to Origin Abyss Star immediately with the Eternal Beginning Dominator. You, Xuanji, and Li Zhenguo will handle the follow-up matters. You will also be fully responsible for the wrap-up work of the celebration. Take care of yourself and the family."
Aurelia paused slightly in her conversation, a flicker of surprise crossing her emerald eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and silently replied, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll take care of things here."
She didn't ask any more questions. Years of tacit understanding told her that anything that would make Lin Yi leave so hastily right after the celebration, without even having time to say goodbye to her in person, must be a matter of great importance concerning the safety of the entire race and even the universe.
All she could do was to stabilize the situation for him.
Receiving Aurelia's response put Lin Yi at ease.
He looked at the Eternal Beginning Dominator: "Let's go."
The Eternal Beginning Dominator nodded slightly, his figure vanished, and Lin Yi's figure disappeared at the same time.
The next instant, they appeared directly in the Core Zone of Supreme Council of the Origin Abyss Star, in front of the "Cosmic Hall," which symbolized the highest power and decision-making center of the Human Race.
The guardian deities before the palace immediately bowed upon seeing the two rulers appear together.
The Eternal Beginning Dominator stated directly, "Immediately notify all councilors to convene a top-level emergency meeting one standard hour later! Agenda: Highest level of combat readiness and emergency mobilization of potential!"
Just as the Human Race Supreme Council was urgently activated, undercurrents were already surging throughout the Main Universe.
The Spirit Race's Territory, the Spirit Source Sacred Hall.
Primeval Cosmos Supreme and Bright Moon Supreme, who had just returned, sat facing each other.
"The announcement has been sent to all races within the Pan-Spirit Alliance." The voice of Primeval Cosmos Supreme was calm yet carried an invisible pressure. "The seventeen core secret realms, including the Holy Spirit Source Pool, the Law Corridor, and the Time Realm, are now open to all meritorious and high-potential deities and lords of our own race and allies. The contribution point exchange threshold has been reduced by 30%, and the annual entry quota has been increased fivefold. Simultaneously, top deities with the potential to break through the lord bottleneck within a hundred Epoch will be selected and given resource support and guidance from the Overlord."
Not just the Spirit Race, but also the Machine Race, the Holy Radiance Race, the Crystal Spirit Race...
Emergency orders were issued from the core holy sites of each race, and resources began to be poured into areas such as exploring war potential, cultivating strong individuals, and achieving technological breakthroughs.
The same dramatic changes also occurred within the Abyss Race and the Devouring Race.
Although the methods differ, the goals of enhancing strength and coping with the unknown are surprisingly consistent.
The entire Main Universe was like a massive machine that was originally heading in different directions and even colliding with each other. Under the forceful manipulation of four invisible hands located at the top of the universe, it began to change direction abruptly but with a clear purpose.
The storm is coming is brewing!
