After hearing Crystal Ball's words, Liu Yun furrowed his brow, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Why were there so many demons and monsters in this world? He had just captured the Golden Horned Beast, yet now he had to face attacks from members of its race in the starry sky.
He knew full well that the universe was, in truth, a dark forest. Earth's exposure did not mean all humanity in the universe would become one family. More likely, it meant cruel invasion and plunder.
They had to keep preparing. Ideally, they needed to rapidly upgrade the Machine Race Base, then establish a warship base on the moon. Only then could they truly defend Earth.
"Yang Xiaolong, you should each go out and contact the factions you belong to. You're councilors now too. You can wield influence of your own!"
Liu Yun instructed them. He hoped these subordinates of his could help him gather Earth's major factions. At present, even the slightest assistance would be welcome. Next, they would have to face interstellar colonizers.
Ruby and the others were overjoyed to see Liu Yun again. At the same time, they realized that Liu Yun's strength had improved once more!
Yang Xiaolong was in no hurry to leave. She looked at Liu Yun with worshipful eyes. Her chest was full and upright, while her waist was slender as a willow branch, perfectly embodying the union of strength and softness. She was now a dignified councilor in her own right.
At that moment, her eyes shone with deep concern and admiration for Liu Yun as she softly asked, "Liu Yun, have you advanced to the Stellar Stage? I can sense that your aura is completely different from before, as if you've stepped into an entirely different level."
