Lin Yi was slightly taken aback by her words, his confusion deepening.
It was getting popular?
Lin Yi knew that killing Talolanke would attract some attention, but he hadn't expected it to have anything to do with "getting popular."
"What happened?" he asked.
Lin Yi truly couldn't make sense of it.
In the fragments of his memories from his previous life, as the fighting on the border grew more intense and the geniuses of various races hunted one another, news of their deaths wasn't exactly an everyday occurrence, but it wasn't earth-shattering news either.
Forget the Kunmo Race—even among the more powerful Shi Race, plenty of their geniuses had met their end.
And no one had ever "gotten popular" over it.
So, in his eyes, killing Talolanke was simply a matter of accomplishing his objective and avenging his comrades along the way. That was all.
Xuanji seemed to have anticipated his confusion and calmly explained, "Master, the promotional video was initially shown only within the K-77 Star Domain, where it had a significant impact. Later, commanders from neighboring legions who came to provide support saw it and thought it would greatly boost morale, so they requested copies to screen in their own districts."
"Before long, word of it had spread through several nearby legions."
She paused. The slightest shift entered her voice, as though she were describing a coincidence.
"The problem was that about a week ago, Lord Tiange happened to inspect the Kunmo Race's border war zone. He saw the video at one of the legions. The Lord thought it had a clear message, a striking contrast, and a powerful emotional impact, so he ordered it to be screened throughout the entire Kunmo Race border war zone to inspire the troops."
Lin Yi understood. An order from a Lord.
