He Song said, "Do you remember the bridge we crossed on our way here? You can imagine the Huaxia Main City as that bridge. If you don't complete the training mission, you'll be thrown into the black ocean."

Yu Hongyuan: "!!"

This example is so good that everyone feels uneasy.

The way the passage was designed was clearly meant to warn everyone!

-

Walking on the main road of Huaxia Main City, everyone felt very comfortable, as the Starlight around them was too rich.

To make a comparison, the intensity of Starlight on this street alone is ten times that of a dormitory at the Zhongdu Military Academy!

And this Daowu the place where the Starlight is the least dazzling.

Even from a distance, those pavilions and towers seemed to be glittering with starlight.

He Song led them to the mission office of the Star Combat Division.

"Please register your names first. You'll be able to accept and submit tasks using your identification tags later."

When they registered their identities, the staff gave each of them an identity card.

This identification tag is a small jade pendant that can be worn directly around the neck or on the wrist.

The small jade pendant is used through telepathy, which is quite convenient.

This is also the identity token for every resident of the Heavenly Palace; without it, one cannot enter the main city.

This identity tag has many functions, such as accepting and submitting tasks, browsing the online store, and even an official forum. However, the forum has many restrictions, and they cannot log in at the moment.

Ying Qi was straightforward and asked immediately, "We're from the Department of the Agronomy Department, why are we taking on training missions from the Star Combat Division?"

He Song: "..."

Zhong Kun said casually, "As long as it's nearby, that's fine."

Li Yang vaguely guessed that things weren't that simple; it definitely wasn't just because they were close.

Judging from the scale of the Huaxia Main City alone, each major department has its own dedicated department. So, does the Nature Department, which was completely wiped out, still have its own department?

It's certain that everything is gone, but judging from He Song's hesitant and stammering manner, things are probably even worse than having lost everything.

Moreover, Li Yang is extremely perceptive.

All other departments use "XX Department," but only the Nature Department, like the Star Nexus Pavilion, uses "Pavilion."

That's a big difference.

Just like the cabinet is above the six ministries.

This provides insight into the political system that once existed in the Huaxia Main City.

Like Zhong Kun, Lin Zhaoqin didn't think anything of it. The Lin Family was originally from the Star Combat Department and was very familiar with this style. She and Zhong Kun had already gone inside.

He Song explained to Ying Qi, "As long as you remember their identities, you can accept missions directly using their identity tokens in the future."

Ying Qi didn't think much of it and said, "I understand."

Everyone went to register their identities. He Song gave Li Yang a wink, and Li Yang followed behind him, walking side by side.

"Senior, just say what you want to say, it's okay."

He Song hesitated for a long time, looked at the green jade token in her hand, and finally said, "My suggestion is to wait until Dean Si comes out of seclusion before taking over Nature Pavilion. Taking over now would be too much of a delay."

He Song's words clearly implied that Dao Yi, Li Yang asked, "Is the situation at the Nature Pavilion very bad?"

He Song's expression was rather indescribable.

Li Yang replied earnestly, "I was able to obtain the key to the Nature Pavilion because of the Tianyang Harbor incident... If I had refused then, it wouldn't have been so easy to get it back legitimately next time."

He Song: "..." He didn't think as much as Li Yang did.

Li Yang's words make sense.

After learning that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo was going to hand over the key to the Nature Pavilion to her, Li Yang had many thoughts running through her mind.

Admittedly, she made a great contribution to the Tianyang Harbor incident, but the fact that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo handed over the key to the Nature Pavilion to her must have had other motives.

For example, make her give up.

Therefore, Li Yang had long been mentally prepared for a huge mess to come after taking over Nature Pavilion.

But she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

The teacher is still in seclusion; she's even in seclusion at the Marquis of the Long Night, because it's absolutely safe there.

But precisely because Si Kui was in seclusion, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo gave her the key to the Nature Pavilion.

If Si Kui could move freely within the Huaxia Main City, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo would probably not easily hand over the key to the Nature Pavilion.

Li Yang must seize this opportunity.

Therefore, even if she faces countless hardships after taking over the Nature Pavilion, she will not give up.

He Song sighed softly and stopped trying to stop him. Instead, he said, "Let me give you a brief explanation. The Nature Pavilion is located in the eastern suburbs of Huaxia Main City, guarding a corner of the Heavenly Palace, just like the three Combat Department."

The Huaxia Main City has many departments, but the combat departments are still the backbone.

Star Wars, Star Magic, Spirit, and Nature.

The four Combat Department occupied the main city's southeast, northwest, and southwest corners, respectively.

These four areas have the densest Starlight, and are also the most dangerous.

The Huaxia Main City has Concealment its location.

Even the Divine Venerable of the Upper Three Realms find it difficult to locate the Heavenly Palace in the vast Astral Realm.

Even so, the Huaxia Main City is still located in the Astral Realm.

If we compare the Astral Realm to a vast ocean, then even though the Huaxia Main City avoids the Upper Three Realms, it is still surrounded by all sorts of marine life.

These four corners—east, west, south, and north—are where the planets meet the Astral Realm.

Hordes of beasts attack this place from time to time.

This is also a Star Wielders of the four major combat systems.

For the past 28 years, after the Nature Pavilion was abandoned, the East District has been guarded by the three major factions in rotation.

Currently, the one guarding the East District is the Spirit Department, and Marquis of Mirror Bamboo is from the Spirit Department.

Therefore, the key to the Nature Pavilion is in the hands of Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, and it was he who decided to hand it over to Li Yang.

If Marquis of the Long Night hadn't gone into seclusion, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to let Li Yang take over.

Of course, this is also a paradox. If Marquis of the Long Night did not go into seclusion, then Si Kui would not go into seclusion either. Perhaps the situation would be reversed, and Marquis of the Long Night would want to hand over the key to the Nature Pavilion to Si Kui, but Marquis of Mirror Bamboo would resolutely refuse to hand it over.

Marquis of Wind Pavilion roughly knew that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo wanted to give Li Yang a hard time.

She did verbally advise Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, but she was never one to make decisions. If Marquis of Mirror Bamboo insisted on giving it to her, she wouldn't insist on anything.

After telling Li Yang all this, He Song continued, "The key in your hand weighs a ton. Once you take over the Nature Pavilion, it's equivalent to taking over the defense of the East District. But your Agronomy Department only has so few people right now. What if a beast tide comes..."

Li Yang understood.

No wonder Marquis of Mirror Bamboo handed over the key to the Nature Pavilion to her so easily; it turns out he was waiting for her here.

The key is in Li Yang's hands, but whether Li Yang can protect Nature Pavilion depends on his abilities.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo was clearly trying to intimidate her.

Li Yang knew very well that if the Agronomy Department really couldn't hold onto the East District, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo would immediately take action, and then he could rightfully take over Nature Pavilion again.

Even after Si Kui left the pass, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo could still use this as an excuse.

Si Kui was ultimately just a person, especially since she was a Half-Step Supreme, and this was a crucial moment in her cultivation.

The Huaxia Main City cannot afford to waste the combat power of a Half-Step Supreme to defend the eastern district.

Apart from Si Kui, the other members of the Agronomy Department also failed to hold the East Campus.

Therefore, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo could naturally bring Nature Pavilion under his control.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo was not on the list that Shen Binghua gave to Li Yang.

But Li Yang knew very well that no matter whether Marquis of Mirror Bamboo was the person behind it or not, he would still try to trip her up like this.

Because of Li Yang's appearance, he had a conflict of interest with her.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo was a conservative, while the Nature Department was a staunch advocate of war... This was the open contradiction.

Even though Nature Pavilion is abandoned, it is still a treasure trove.

Marquis of Mirror Bamboo clearly wanted to possess it for himself.

If Li Yang, the new head of the Nature Department, chooses to relinquish his position, then Marquis of Mirror Bamboo can rightfully take over the Nature Pavilion.

He Song was genuinely worried about Li Yang, and he knew how dangerous the situation was.

He said, "Once the beast tide comes, you really won't be able to stop it, and then..."

Li Yang said, "I have to try before I'll be satisfied."

He Song said, "Very well, it's still in the Huaxia Main City, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo won't just stand by and do nothing."

He Song didn't insist on stopping them because he knew Li Yang and the others wouldn't be in any danger.

If the beast tide attacks the Eastern District, as long as Li Yang and the others ask for help, Marquis of Mirror Bamboo immediately send troops to support them.

He Song also believes that after realizing he is unable to support the East District, Li Yang will choose to temporarily abandon Nature Pavilion.

Li Yang is not a stubborn person; she knows how to proceed gradually.

Li Yang then asked, "Senior, I received help from a member of the Plow Ox Clan during the Divine Miracle. I'd like to ask where their tribe is settled now?"

"The Plow Ox Clan..." He Song thought for a moment and said, "I'll look it up for you."

He Song's access level was far higher than Li Yang's, and he quickly found the relevant information, saying with some surprise, "The Plow Ox Clan is in the eastern suburbs."

Li Yang asked, "Is it in the city?"

He Song said, "The Heavenly Palace is divided into an inner city and an outer city. Astral Realm beings are not allowed to enter the inner city. Even if they submit to the human race, they can only be settled in the outer city."

The Plow Ox Clan had indeed submitted to the Huaxia Clan long ago.

However, they could not settle in the inner city, but rather in the outer city on the eastern outskirts.

Li Yang nodded and said, "I understand, thank you, senior."

"There's no need to thank me for such a small thing," He Song said with emotion. "You're a person of great loyalty; even after Divine Miracle, you still remember the alien race that helped you."

Li Yang smiled and said nothing more.

She could never forget Little Ox's skills, even if she wanted to.

Li Yang had her own plans. Marquis of Mirror Bamboo thought she couldn't hold the East District, He Song thought so too. But if she could contact Little Ox's family, the East Suburbs might actually be able to hold out.
