Lu Yin told Azure Lotus Supreme what had happened. Azure Lotus Supreme also had a headache. "Did they get that badly spooked?"
Lu Yin nodded. That was what it felt like.
But who could have guessed that two Eternal Life beings wouldn't even dare approach? They'd prepared ways to communicate with them, including having Star Toad appear in the Parallel Space-Time where the Unknown's divine power had manifested. They'd even prepared a whole batch of Toad-character banners. That was right: Toad-character banners, made by changing one character on the Virtue banners.
When someone had reported Star Toad before, they'd mentioned that it had changed a batch of Virtue banners made for Destroy Wu Huang into Toad banners and planted them all over Ten Thousand Cities, much to the Qiong Family's exasperation.
So Lu Yin had thought of that and had someone make a huge batch of Toad banners, specifically for the two Seven Treasures Heavenly Toads to see.
Everything was ready. They'd just been waiting for the two to arrive, but—damn it—they'd run away.

Star Toad was very reluctant. It wanted to return to Ten Thousand Cities and do business. That was its tribulation; it needed to enter the Eternal Life Realm.
But Azure Lotus Supreme was clearly in a bad mood, so Star Toad could only endure it.
For Human Civilization, this was bad news—worse than the prospect of facing two Eternal Life toads head-on. It left all their preparations useless.
