Jing Yuan was immediately puzzled by Li Yu's entrance, and looked at the three people who walked out of the Spatial Passage with some surprise.

After carefully examining Li Yu and sensing the familiar aura emanating from him, Jing Yuan immediately realized that Li Yu was one of his own and also a long-lived being.

Xianzhou people from the Xianzhou people Ship can sense each other, and no matter how others try to act it out, they can't quite pull it off. However, there are some things about Li Yu that Jing Yuan doesn't understand, so he simply assumes that Li Yu didn't grow up on the Xianzhou.

The Reignbow Arbiter is certified, how could it be fake? Surely no one could influence the Aeons to come and cheat them, allowing someone to infiltrate their ranks? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Jing Yuan was lost in thought, and at the same time, he had some doubts in his mind, because Li Yu seemed to be quite young? This made him curious: how old was this boy in front of him?

The others were equally astonished to see Li Yu, especially the two people behind Li Yu. Had this genius created a race? Everyone couldn't help but feel curious; what kind of beings were they?

"General Jing Yuan, hello!" Li Yu walked out of the Spatial Passage and greeted Jing Yuan with a gentle expression.

Hearing Li Yu's words, Jing Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and greeted her with a gentle smile, "Hello Li Yu, just call me Jing Yuan. I'm curious, how old are you now?"

Unsure, Jing Yuan asked directly about Li Yu's age, since Li Yu seemed quite young to him.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

In his eyes, someone like Li Yu should be hundreds or even thousands of years old, right? But now? He feels that the other party is even younger than Yanqing.

"He's 19 this year!" However, what Li Yu said next left everyone present somewhat dumbfounded. Fu Xuan even muttered subconsciously, "Isn't that a minor?"

Nineteen years old? In the Xianzhou, that's a child, a minor, but this person is already Emanator?

Moreover, he is a dual Emanator of both the Hunt and Erudition, making him unmatched by anyone else on the entire Xianzhou.

The other party is even a member of the Genius Society, which is absolutely outrageous! And now, someone like that is also Xianzhou people? It seems that their Xianzhou has indeed produced an extraordinary person.

At this moment, Fu Xuan became somewhat nervous. This person was so outrageous; could it be that they were going to succeed Xianzhou Luofu as general? Fu Xuan Fu Xuan nervous, shocked, Fu Xuan conflicted. This person was so young and promising; being a general wasn't entirely out of the question.

A thought inexplicably popped into Fu Xuan's mind: No, no, the position of general should be hers. Fu Xuan's gaze instantly hardened.

When Jing Yuan heard Li Yu's age, a look of shock flashed in his eyes. Although he felt that Li Yu was young, he never thought that Li Yu would be this young. He was practically a baby!

"This is truly remarkable; it seems I'm really getting old! Please follow me, let's talk somewhere else!" With that exclamation, Jing Yuan gestured for Li Yu to follow.

His words brought the others back to their senses. The high-ranking officials of Xianzhou Luofu escorted Li Yu and his group to the Seat of Divine Foresight. Along the way, many Xianzhou people were very curious about these newly appeared Cangcheng survivors.

The long-lost Cangcheng has finally been found, which is a major event for all Xianzhou people. At the same time, many people are also looking forward to official news from Xianzhou.

After all, Cangcheng had been missing for a long time, and now that there was news, many people were a little nervous. Were there still many people alive in Cangcheng? After all, many Xianzhou people had intricate connections with Cangcheng.

Everyone has to take this issue seriously. That's why, on the way Jing Yuan led Li Yu to the Seat of Divine Foresight, many Xianzhou people were watching.

At the same time, the Cloud Knights surrounded Abant to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from going up. After all, this was the heritage of Cangcheng, and it had to be taken seriously. Who knew what important things might be up there?

The interior of the Xianzhou was quite pleasant, with a perfectly comfortable temperature, and it was very spacious and bustling. When Li Yu followed Jing Yuan to the Seat of Divine Foresight, Li Yu also saw some things he had never seen before.

Upon arriving at the Seat of Divine Foresight, some people voluntarily withdrew, leaving only Jing Yuan, Li Yu, and a few others, including Jibril and Einzig, who had accompanied him.

As soon as the group sat down, various snacks and tea were served. After these people left, Jing Yuan spoke to Li Yu, "Could you tell me more about the situation in Cangcheng?"

Although Li Yu is only 19 years old, she should know quite a lot, right? They are now eager to know what happened after Cangcheng disappeared; this is very important to them.

"Of course, no problem!" Li Yu nodded. He already had an explanation in mind, and Pandora had already given him instructions, since the real Pandora of Cangcheng had been found and knew what had happened.

Because... Cangcheng was completely destroyed. After it was swallowed up, not a single person inside survived. Therefore, Li Yu needs to process the information here and tell Jing Yuan about the situation.

"After being devoured by the World-Devouring Luo, 99% of the people who survived in Cangcheng died instantly, and the remaining 1% also slowly disappeared over the thousands of years due to various problems," Li Yu said slowly.

Li Yu kept spouting things like being corrupted by Mara-Struck, committing suicide because he couldn't bear it, and being assimilated by the Abundance and turned into enemies. As Jing Yuan listened to these things, his expression grew increasingly heavy. He could already imagine how desperate the people of Cangcheng must have felt back then.

With no way to call for help and internal collapse continuing, it was already quite remarkable that the entire Cangcheng hadn't collapsed immediately. As Li Yu continued his explanation, everyone in the conference room fell silent.

"Until I was born 19 years ago, by my generation there were only a few babies left, and only a hundred or so people survived. Then, through learning and experimentation, we slowly found a way to leave, but unfortunately..." Li Yu said, his voice filled with regret.

To solidify her identity, Li Yu went to great lengths, constantly adding layers of fabrication to herself. Jing Yuan and the others didn't suspect anything; instead, they chose to believe in Li Yu.

After all, if it weren't for this, how could Li Yu possibly be here? So what Li Yu said is correct, and even if it isn't, they have no way to verify it.

"The core of Cangcheng is still on Abant. If you need it, I can give it to you." This was exactly what Pandora had put inside Abant; it wasn't a fake, but the real thing.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan immediately sat up straight and said, "Are you sure? If it really is the core of Cangcheng, then rebuilding Cangcheng isn't impossible!"

As he said this, Jing Yuan's eyes flashed. The core of Cangcheng was like the black box of an airplane, containing all kinds of information. With this thing, it was almost certain that what Li Yu had just said was true.

"Of course... as for rebuilding Cangcheng, let's forget about it. The resources required are too great, it's unnecessary, and besides, there's no one left in Cangcheng now!" Li Yu shook his head, indicating that he did not agree to rebuilding Cangcheng.

His Abant is enough; it can be considered part of Cangcheng's in the future. Although they're different, it's still a smaller version of the Xianzhou, isn't it?

Jing Yuan fell silent upon hearing this. She sighed and didn't say anything more about the matter. Since Li Yu was unwilling, then so be it. Rebuilding Cangcheng was indeed a problem.

"So, Li Yu, what are your plans for the future? Would you like to settle down on the Xianzhou?" Jing Yuan asked, extending an invitation to Li Yu.

If Cangcheng were still standing, Li Yu would definitely be able to become a general given his current strength. However, Cangcheng is gone now, and Li Yu has no intention of rebuilding it.

This gave Jing Yuan his own ulterior motives. For example, he might invite Li Yu to settle here, then give him a position in Xianzhou Luofu, and gradually transfer his power to Li Yu.

Thinking of this, Jing Yuan looked at Li Yu with burning fervor. After all, Li Yu was simply the chosen General of Xianzhou Luofu. He felt increasingly powerless, but Fu Xuan was not yet ready to take on the mantle.

Li Yu's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope. Li Yu was a the Hunt Emanator, whose strength far surpassed that of these pseudo- Emanator. The only ones who could compare to Li Yu were the Marshal and Feixiao, who had only recently gained recognition.

After all, a general on the Xianzhou, once appointed and recognized by the Divine Lord, can possess the combat power of Emanator. However, this is only possible with the blessing of the Divine Lord. Li Yu, on the other hand, is Emanator even without the Divine Lord.

Not to mention, Li Yu was also a dual- Emanator. In addition to the Hunt, he was also the Emanator of Erudition. With such a position, serving as a general would be a piece of cake. He felt that this was the best gift God had given him.

Jing Yuan became more and more excited as he thought about it, and his gaze towards Li Yu became increasingly agitated. Fu Xuan, who was standing to the side, was full of questions when she saw Jing Yuan's reaction, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in her heart.

"No, Jing Yuan, what are you doing?" Just as she was about to say something, Li Yu spoke first, "No, thank you for the invitation, but I want to travel around and don't want to stay in one place."

At this moment, Li Yu had already guessed what Jing Yuan wanted to do, which made him look strange. He glanced at Fu Xuan, who was staring with wide eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He could only say that Fu Xuan was really unlucky.

Jing Yuan never even considered passing the position to Fu Xuan. It was even possible that Jing Yuan would directly pass the position to Qingque in the future. Li Yu was overjoyed at the thought of this.

"Is that so? What a pity—if you could stay, I could make you a general in Xianzhou Luofu!" Jing Yuan said with a regretful expression, revealing his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan's eyes widened immediately: You actually have such thoughts?! Fu Xuan felt an unprecedented sense of crisis!

"Sorry, I'm not interested in the position of general. Perhaps this pink-haired lady is more suitable?" Li Yu said, looking at Fu Xuan with interest.

Li Yu's words immediately made Fu Xuan overjoyed. Yes, yes, she was perfect for the job! No one on the entire Xianzhou was more suitable than her!
