"If there’s no surprise, they should be taking action."
Kong Jinyin sipped his coffee, his face contorted by the bitterness, yet his eyes glead with a trace of delight.
So bitter, this triple-strength Aricano is more unpleasant than traditional dicine, but only the bitter taste lingers longer in the mouth, allowing him to often feel himself as ’himself’ during his rare monts of clarity.
"It’s been quite a wait.."
Su Tu took a bite of his sundae, still unaccustod to bitterness, perplexed as to why anyone would willingly invite it upon themselves.
"This matter might have so unexpected developnts."
Kong Jinyin said.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu’s expression remained unchanged.
He and Kong Jinyin had a pact: unless there was sothing earth-shattering, they wouldn’t et before taking action.
Outside Hangu Pass, Kong Jinyin had triggered a slight mistake, signaling their eting.
Both parties were aware that action was about to comnce, and if it were solely about that, it wouldn’t warrant a eting.
Thus, there should be unexpected changes, otherwise, that would be problematic.
"What kind of unexpected developnts?"
Su Tu inquired.
Kong Jinyin replied, "The shackles upon the Ancestor Star are asured by Martial Fortune as a line, but when Martial Fortune is chaotic, this line will fluctuate."
"This matter is of great significance, they will certainly dispatch strong figures to inspect during the turmoil."
"The Venerable’s power is too strong; even when touching the Dao, and the line gets chaotic, one can’t escape the Ancestor Star’s shackles. Therefore, it is highly likely they’ll send a Celestial Being!"
Celestial Beings can break through space, grasp the Dao’s rudints, truly surpassing human dinsions, transcendents who have passed through the Three Calamities.
If a Celestial Being capable of unleashing power without restraint appeared on the Ancestor Star, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on Su Tu and Kong Jinyin’s plan..
Upon hearing this, Su Tu lightly tapped his fingers on the tabletop.
"I understand. You don’t need to worry about these matters; leave it to to handle."
Su Tu said.
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, there’s one more thing, although it’s not significant. The Martial Arts Departnt previously captured a beast, the Nightmare; you’re aware of it, right?"
Kong Jinyin spoke with his hands crossed.
Su Tu, of course, was aware of that beast; he was the one who provided intelligence on Nightmare and Number One to the Martial Arts Departnt.
"I know."
"Recently, there’s been a shift in Federation policy; the treatnt of beasts went from execution to being sent to the Imperial Capital for detention."
"And on the way to detention, that Nightmare died.."
Upon hearing Kong Jinyin’s words, Su Tu appeared serious.
He cared little about the life or death of a beast, but he knew when Kong Jinyin ntioned sothing, it wouldn’t be so simple.
"Nightmare is a very unique beast; from a certain perspective, it is a spiritual entity. If it’s purely dead, perhaps it doesn’t matter, but what if that Nightmare is just a partial ’Nightmare’."
"This type of beast is difficult to completely kill, and it’s hard to confirm if it can be killed."
"If it isn’t dead, be cautious. After all, in its eyes you’re a precious dicine. Consuming your flesh and blood can help it recover quickly."
Kong Jinyin earnestly advised Su Tu.
Su Tu listened, the corners of his mouth curling upward.
"I understand."
A precious dicine... This term sounds familiar. The last person who spoke of him like that received such a beating there’s hardly a corpse left.
Su Tu hoped that creature truly wasn’t dead and would seek him out, as it could yield a great skills blind box, who knows what divine skills might erge...
Then, the two sat silently for half a minute, after which Su Tu left first.
Kong Jinyin drank his coffee sip by sip, the purple in his eyes gradually faded, becoming unclear: "So bitter... Damn.. hard to swallow.."
He cursed while smiling.

At the barrier between subspace and the present world.
Twisted figures intertwined within.
Occasionally, a faint chewing sound echoed in the void, sending shivers down one’s spine.
"You’ve all seen Wang Xiaoming’s report, right."
There was a murmuring sound, like a kind woman’s voice, but if listened closely, the voice constantly changed, sotis ancient, sotis youthful.
"Yes."
A figure entirely black slowly erged in the void: "What do you think, how much is true, how much is false?"
"A suspected Immortal’s shadow expelled people from the present world within Douluo Palace, unheard of." An ancient voice whispered.
"However..."
A group of figures all turned to the faint sword mark within the void, the mark was shallow but emitted a killing intent that caused the surrounding space to quiver.
"This era is one of great contention; unimaginable existences are reviving. The remnants of the Era of the Immortals in the present world aren’t that surprising."
A slender figure rose.
He raised his hand, with seven fingers on his left, the fingertips glowed faintly, transforming into a blue planet’s shadow.
"What then? Do we have to give up?"
"No need to act, remain still and observe. If an Immortal truly erges, all incidents are unrelated to us, they are by the Spring and Autumn Wealth God. Such lineage-forgetting traitors deserve to be turned into Emperor Puppets, as warning to others."
"If everything goes smoothly..."
In the void, a murky aura surged.
Rumbling!
A pair of massive eyes opened, belonging to an enormous head, its eyes as grand as the sun and moon.
A grand, indifferent voice slowly erged from its mouth: "Sacrifice Ancestor Star, contribute to the Human Race as a whole, trading small for large, sacrificing a star to forge an unprecedented foundation for the Human Race, greatly virtuous.."
Upon hearing this.
The twisted figures began to slowly erge, dozens stood at the barrier, simultaneously speaking: "Thus it shall be.."
