Wu Hen headed to the bunker in Lun Mountain City.
Unexpectedly, Li Feng actually walked out of the bunker and invited Wu Hen to camp by the lake outside Lun Mountain City.
Wu Hen had quite a deep impression of that lake; he had fought intensely with the Silver Winged Mantis there in the past.
The scenery by the lakeside was breathtaking, with cool mountain breezes wafting through. It was incomparably better than the air polluted and corrupted in the otherworldly dinsion.
It was no wonder Li Feng felt that the entire Human Clan of the Cang Chu Divine Realm were failures—because their ancestors had failed to overco the harsh environnt, losing their true holand. Now, they endured the various erosive disasters of the otherworldly realm, which had not only corrupted their surroundings but also made people cold and indifferent, leading to brutal social hierarchies.
"Weren't the outsiders supposed to be an organization? How co you dared to co out just because one Gao Huan was taken down? Aren't you afraid they'll find ways to kill you?" Wu Hen asked while watching Li Feng brewing tea.
"They've already received our warning letter. What should be restrained will be restrained. I believe they're also bound by so kind of Law and need to follow the rules of the chessboard. At the very least, they can't overturn the table and eliminate powerless pawns," Li Feng said.
After thinking for a mont, Wu Hen roughly understood Li Feng's aning.
Fighting a war for years—why not enjoy a few days of peace?
"Wang Rui perford quite well. For the upcoming Twelve Zodiac Beasts project, we might consider bringing him into the core." Rat spoke up.
"I agree. He certainly possesses great wisdom." Li Feng nodded his head.
In this ga, Wang Rui played the role of a pawn and indeed helped Wu Hen take down the enemy's "rook." Although the Twelve Zodiac Beasts project wasn't fully developed yet, Wang Rui, as a chanical Beast Master, was an ideal fit for the program.
"Have you checked all the people in Douyi Star Palace?" Wu Hen asked.
"Checking is aningless. The results we get will be what they want us to see. Instead, let Douyi Star Palace maintain their own pace. They've contributed to humanity by developing powerful fighting clothes to enhance the Spirit Awakeners' strength. However, if they've embedded any hidden agendas into the fighting clothes, we will definitely expose them," Li Feng replied.
"No need to startle the snake, right?" Wu Hen responded.
"Exactly. Gao Huan might not be a small figure in the outsiders' organization. His death will surely impact their entire group. That's their problem, though. Internally, the Divine Realm should be clean for a while. Now you can pursue the Star Mark with peace of mind." Li Feng assured.
"The Star Mark is still our goal?"
"I've never denied the Star Mark Plan… just as I've never denied the contributions of all navigators." Li Feng said.
"You an there might be two factions among the navigators—one leading us to progress and another leading us to destruction? If the destructive faction gains the upper hand, our journey will beco perilous, with a significant risk of annihilation?" Wu Hen asked.
"Yes, which is why you'll have to make your own judgnt when it cos to Mingyi." Li Feng said seriously.
"Do you think she's an outsider?" Wu Hen asked.
"Her grandfather founded Douyi Star Palace."
"..." Wu Hen lowered his head and drank his tea.
Ah, why is my romantic path so bumpy?
"By the way, I've got an idea that could significantly shorten the long pursuit of the Star Mark Plan." Li Feng said.
Clearly, with the hidden threat Gao Huan eliminated, Li Feng was now ready to officially participate in the Star Mark Plan while working with Wu Hen to strategize a more efficient way to obtain the most precise Star Marks.
Wu Hen leaned back, preparing to listen to the sly Li Feng elaborate on humanity's grand plan.
"Guan Quming providing you with the general outline of the Star Mark Plan wasn't an issue. We still need to chase those Gods shining in the Sky Do—from Sixth-class Stars to First-class Stars. The higher the Star Level, the more precise the Star Mark…"
"But regarding the information about Cangling, I find so inconsistencies. Also, we're not hunting the Star Gods—they're ant to illuminate our path forward."
"So, wherever negotiation is possible, we negotiate. If it doesn't work, then we resort to Martial Virtue to persuade them."
For so reason, Wu Hen felt as if Li Feng was saying to him, "You think being strong solves everything? Strength alone is useless—connections and background matter in this world…"
"Cang Chu Divine Realm is vast, and those Star Gods are hidden across different layers and worlds. Beyond those who govern entire nations, uncovering all of them is almost impossible," Wu Hen said.
"Exactly. Just look at a Third-class Star like Cangling—we've already spent an enormous amount of ti without even glimpsing a shadow. To obtain precise Star Marks, we'd likely have to stay in the Cang Chu Divine Realm for a hundred years," Li Feng said.
"So what's your plan?"
"Cang Chu Divine Realm has several Gods who are more overtly visible. These Gods encourage humanity to maintain order and host the Human Clan grand assembly. Typically, it's held once every ten years, gathering all Wise Persons from the Ten Thousand Veins. That's the largest eting of humanity in the entire Cang Chu. While it should take place in three years, this ti it's been moved forward, and we too have been invited," Li Feng revealed.
"We received an official invitation?" Wu Hen asked, sowhat surprised.
"Yes, suggesting that we, the Nuwa Divine Race, have been elevated from Low-class Human Clan to Middle-class Human Clan, since Low-class clans aren't eligible to attend." Li Feng replied.
In truth, Red Port was a microcosm of the Cang Chu Divine Realm—where the Ten Thousand Veins of humanity co-existed, often leading to various conflicts.
"Are the two strongest races in Cang Chu, Holy Sect and Da Xuan, hosting it?" Wu Hen asked.
"Apparently, it's managed by the mysterious Immortal Lineage, who will send representatives."
"Superior Immortals among the superior people, huh?" Wu Hen sighed, almost forgetting that he had once t mbers of the Immortal Clan and even stayed in a cattle shed with one of their Fairies for quite a while.
Still, Immortal cultivation should be a higher form of cultivation. He wondered if they could be considered high-dinsional humans.
"As you know, the Gods of the Cang Chu Divine Realm also peek beyond their boundaries, gazing at higher dinsions. This human assembly will attract nearly half of the Star Gods—from Sixth-class Stars to Second-class Stars," Li Feng explained.
"So, are we going to pull off a major heist, capturing all of them in one fell swoop at this eting?" Wu Hen's eyes lit up.
Yes, rather than painstakingly searching for each Star God, why not wait for them to deliver themselves? The star coordinates obtained would be extraordinarily precise!
"If you have the ability to confront all the Gods in the Cang Chu Divine Realm, I won't oppose it. It would certainly save us ti," Li Feng replied sarcastically.
"Haha, just kidding. What I an is, we can use this Human Clan assembly to quickly gather Star Mark Fragnts." Wu Hen said.
"Convince them with reason where possible; for those immune to reason, we'll take action." Li Feng said.
"Well, it's getting interesting—Cang Chu's various Immortals gathering together!" Wu Hen couldn't help but laugh.
As Wu Hen laughed, Little Yi grew excited.
Isn't this a grand feast of elites?
The high-dinsional energy in his stomach was barely digested, yet he was already looking forward to indulging in another banquet.
