Boulder Town

Having slept soundly without any dreams, Ye Yan stretched and walked out of the Goethe Grand Hotel, where he saw the three people who had been waiting for him for a long time.

" Teacher Ye Yan is finally awake! Staying in bed isn't like you at all!"

"What does this mean? It means you need to improve your teamwork skills." Xing said, her hands clasped to her chest; she had gotten up very early that day.

"Now that everyone's here, let's go find [ Wildfire ] to discuss the next steps and see if they've made any new discoveries."

"Let's go! We can finally get back up there, we can't wait any longer!" March 7th said excitedly.

"Shall I send Miss March 7th up now?"

Counting the days, Ye Yan has been in Belobog for three days now; it's time to speed up the plot's progression.

"Um, actually I'm not in too much of a hurry... haha..."

After arriving at the meeting point, they found that only Seele and Sampo were there.

" Natasha's not here, fine, but why isn't Uncle Oleg, who's acting as leader, here either?" March 7th looked around; this acting leader seemed rather lazy.

" Oleg and Nat have a lot of things to clean up, so it doesn't matter if they talk to me. What I say represents her opinion."

Seele stated frankly that, strictly speaking, she was acting as the leader of [ Wildfire ].

" Nat is always cautious and wouldn't have any bad intentions, as you've probably noticed. She instructed me to make sure you returned safely to the upper levels, and that's why Chief Oleg sent this guy over," Seele said, pointing to Sampo.

"Hehe~ Putting aside Boss Ye Yan, since I brought you down here, I'm also responsible for bringing you back~ Free after-sales service, please give me a five-star review~"

Sampo suddenly picked it up, sending a chill down Seele's spine.

"Wow... this tone, am I talking to customer service from Interastral Peace Corporation?!" March 7th complained, and Ye Yan stepped forward.

"No need for that trouble, I'll take them back."

"Ah! Could it be... that Teacher Ye Yan is finally going to make a move?!" Upon hearing this, March 7th immediately changed his attitude.

"It's rare to see you in such high spirits," Dan Heng chimed in.

"Oh! That's wonderful! Boss Ye Yan is brilliant and wise! Old Sampo is completely humbled!"

Sampo was overjoyed and said he would only need to play the clown behind the scenes.

At that moment, the thought of praising Eternity actually popped into his mind!

"Wait, where's Bronya?"

After finishing their casual conversation, Dan Heng realized that someone was missing.

Bronya went back first. You all know about her relationship with that [ Supreme Guardian ], and there are some things she has to resolve on her own.

"What? She abandoned us and just went back like that? Why didn't you stop her...?"

"We couldn't stop him. A blond man claiming to be the Church Chair appeared, saying he could help Bronya return to the Upper District. He opened a portal and left."

Seele explained to everyone what had happened last night. When she mentioned the words "the blonde Chair," Sampo and Dan Heng's expressions clearly changed.

"Miss Seele... this is no laughing matter!" Sampo wiped away his cold sweat with a handkerchief, his voice tinged with fear.

Sampo had drafted various plans when he first arrived in Jarilo-VI, but after Silver Wolf informed him that Ye Yan was coming, all the plans were abandoned, and he had no choice but to revise them.

Now... it seems the worst is about to happen.

Oh no! That man actually came to Jarilo-VI! Wasn't this planet supposed to have been extinguished on the star charts long ago?! How could the Church of Eternity still detect it?!

Has the Church's technological level become this terrifying?!

"Who did you say came?"

Dan Heng wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he saw Seele take out the most classic bar of soap, his tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

Ah, now there's no need to ask anymore, it must be that man.

Two days ago, after hearing Bronya say that they were the wicked disciples of [ Eternity ], Dan Heng had a bad feeling, and now it has come true.

Based on the information available at this stage, Dan Heng could not determine the other party's stance. Hearing someone speak ill of his own Aeon was unthinkable, especially since the Star God was a genuine [ Emanator ].

If you really want to be picky, the little Jarilo-VI is nothing in his eyes.

It's precisely because of his unpredictable stance that Dan Heng finds it difficult to judge, but... with Ye Yan around, the outcome shouldn't be too bad.

"This is the first time we've seen Teacher Dan Heng with such a relieved expression," March 7th whispered to Xing.

"Hmm? Since he's the Chair of the Church, does Ye Yan know him?"

Xing looked at Ye Yan. If you were to ask who among them had the deepest relationship with [ Eternity ] Yite, Ye Yan would definitely be number one, followed by her Galactic Baseballer!

Don't they realize that March 7th and Dan Heng weren't even glanced at by Him? Of course not, but Xing was different; she witnessed the war between the two Aeon in the space of consciousness!

The feeling of being there is indescribable!

"You mean Chair Blake? Hmm..." Ye Yan thought for a few seconds and gave the most appropriate answer:

"I have a pretty good relationship with him," Ye Yan said truthfully.

"Really... Then why doesn't Teacher Ye Yan join the Church?"

She hadn't seen this Chair since March 7th, and for a moment, she felt a little expectant.

To develop a soap that leaves you feeling clean and refreshed after use, you must be an incredibly talented person!

"This question... I think you'll understand after Miss March 7th meets him."

Ye Yan didn't say it explicitly, but he had prepared ample reasons, all of which Emanator... so why couldn't their relationship be better?

"Oh, by the way, Bronya asked me to give this to you." Seele handed the letter to Star.

"She left us a letter, hmm... could it be the legendary secret plan? I have no experience with this, should we wait until we're in danger before opening it?" March 7th guessed.

"Stop overthinking, hurry up and open it."

Unwrapping the letter wrapped in parchment, and looking at the neat handwriting, March 7th read a few important passages:

"I apologize for not informing you all of my plans beforehand. I was afraid that I would face strong opposition from you, which would shake my hard-won determination."

"Lady Cocolia raised me to adulthood, and I can never repay her kindness in this lifetime. She Church me many life lessons and how to protect Belobog and her people."

Even though she's made some decisions lately that have puzzled me, I still can't shake off all the wonderful Remembrance I have of her.

"After these two days of turmoil, I must stand before her, bravely express my stance and thoughts, try to reach a mutual understanding with her, and persuade her."

"This is my wish as a daughter, and even more so, my inescapable responsibility as Silvermane Guards."

"If anything were to happen to me, please find an opportunity to deliver this letter to the Landau siblings. They are upright people with extraordinary influence in Belobog, and I have complete trust in them."

"Once they see my letter and handwriting, they will do everything in their power to help you find the [ Stellaron ]."

"Ah, the letter ends here."
