Chapter 332: News
Chapter 332: News
Inside the Bright Moon Base, Li Yuan had just returned from Ming Mountain.
Within a Tier Four warship, Li Yuan, Tavarez, Jiang Zai, and others had finished their conversation. Dozens of powerful warriors with Flying Heaven-rank strength who had received the news from the base had just left.
In a meditation room.
Li Yuan calmed down and directly logged into V-Communication through the warship's virtual network.
Due to the separation of different worlds, the smart ring couldn't connect to the virtual network on Blue Star or the Flying Star. It had to rely on the warship or the base's network.
As soon as he logged in, he found a large number of unread messages.
"Uncle has 8 messages, Aunt has over 20, Xixi sent me 10, and Mu Hua... 2 messages." Li Yuan first saw his family's messages at the top of the chat window.
Li Yuan clicked on his uncle's chat.
"Little Yuan, why haven't you been in touch? Have you been busy with cultivation lately..."
"Little Yuan, when you have time, send a message home..."
"Little Yuan, Yang Province's Temple Master told us that you are undergoing closed-door cultivation, and a powerful warrior beyond the Flying Heaven rank is personally training you..."
"Little Yuan, everything is fine at home. With me here, you can cultivate with peace of mind..." In recent months, Uncle Li Changzhou had sent almost one message every month, and the content was always the same.
Auntie's messages, on the other hand, were filled with concern, but she didn't dare to say it directly. "Little Yuan, even if you're immersed in cultivation, remember to take care of yourself..."
... He read through the messages from his family one by one.
For some reason, Li Yuan's eyes became slightly moist, and he felt an urge to go home immediately.
It had been a long time since he had a proper meal with his family.
"Others who enter the Martial Arts University get a month of vacation every year." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling a twinge of guilt. "But I've only been away for a year, and I went to the Divine Star Realm... I've only caused worry for Uncle and Auntie..."
At this moment, Li Yuan fully understood the saying, 'The moment you become an adult, most of your time with your parents is already behind you.'
Although Li Yuan now possessed astonishing wealth and an extremely high status, ensuring his family lived a worry-free, even luxurious life, emotional bonds with family couldn't be measured purely by money alone.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan quickly began replying to his uncle and aunt: "Uncle, I've finished my secluded training, and I should be able to return soon..."
...
Besides his family, there were also many friends and relatives, such as his close high school buddies Zhou Qi and Li Tianyou, as well as good friends like Gu Qinghe and Shi Xiao.
There were also those who entered the Divine Star Realm with him: Tian Dazhuang, Jin Heguo, Tan Tai Feng, and Alicia.
There were also many elders.
...
"Li Yuan, I've already reached the 15th level as a warrior, and I'm about to venture into my first Star Realm." This was Li Tianyou's message from a month ago. It had been over a year, and he was already in his third year at Jiangbei Martial Arts University.
Apparently, after several years, Li Tianyou had been doing well at Jiangbei Martial Arts University.
People like Tan Tai Feng and Tian Dazhuang had already reached the high fifth stage in their skills...
Alicia's growth was even more astonishing. She had achieved fifth-stage perfection and was expected to become a member of the Seven Star Mountain this July, making her the most dazzling new talent in the Divine Star Realm this year.
Alicia had sent over ten messages, more than most of his other friends. Her words didn't express worry.
"Look!"
"In the Divine Star Realm, Elder Duanmu must have announced that I'm participating in secluded training." Li Yuan thought to himself.
...
"Li Yuan, how's your cultivation going in the Divine Star Realm?" This was Li Yang's message from a few months ago.
Upon seeing this message, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, he had just met Li Yang earlier.
But due to confidentiality reasons, Li Yuan hadn't revealed his identity, and Li Yang had no idea that the Spirit Lance was Li Yuan.
...
"Li Yuan, I've reached the 28th level as an Origin Warrior. It seems I still have a chance to become a top-tier Origin Warrior in this lifetime. Haha, when we return to Jiang City, remember to tell me." This was Wan Qinghe's message from five months ago.
...
This world hadn't stopped moving forward just because Li Yuan had disappeared. His family and friends continued living their lives.
But many of them had been constantly worried about Li Yuan.
Li Yuan replied to each message, and it took him a long time to respond to them all. Then, his gaze fell on one of the chat windows.
Because, among all the people who had sent messages, the one with the most messages wasn't Auntie, but—Lin Lanyue.
Unread messages: 99+
Over a hundred messages.
"Lanyue." Li Yuan's eyes remained fixed for a long time.
He clicked on the earliest message, which was sent in November of the previous year.
"Li Yuan, I heard that the Ming Xu Star Realm won a great victory in the war, so be careful."
"I haven't heard from you in a long time. I pressed San Ye, the Demi-Deity, for information, and she told me that your Life Crystal had dimmed, and you might have fallen in the Ming Xu Star Realm..."
"I couldn't believe it, so I went to the Lie Yu Star Realm and asked the World Spirit, but even he couldn't confirm..."
"I believe in you. You wouldn't have died just like that..."
"You're definitely still alive."
"I'm looking forward to the day you achieve Deity status."
"My skills have reached fifth-stage perfection. According to tradition, I should celebrate and invite people like Tan Tai Feng and Tian Dazhuang... Let's celebrate when you return."
...
"It's snowing in the Divine Star Realm, but I believe you're just temporarily stuck somewhere in the Ming Xu Star Realm..."
"It's almost Chinese New Year. I returned to Jiang City once and paid my respects to Uncle and Auntie. They're both in good health, and they don't seem to know that you're the Spirit Lance. There's nothing to worry about at home..."
"You must stay alive.
"I'll be waiting for your return..."
...
A series of messages bombarded Li Yuan, leaving him in a state of emotional turmoil. He felt something stir within him.
Lin Lan Yue held a special place in Li Yuan's heart.
This time, under the alias 'Spirit Lance', he had come to the Divine Star Realm, and those who knew his true identity—people like Luo Chan, Yan Jing, Fang Hai, and San Ye Demigod—were either not as close or were all elders.
In short, none of them shared a deep emotional bond with him.
As for those with whom he had deep emotional connections, most didn't even know that Li Yuan was Spirit Lance, let alone the news of 'Spirit Lance's Fall'.
Only Lin Lan Yue, with her high status as a disciple of a deity, could converse with San Ye Demigod and knew that Li Yuan was Spirit Lance.
Emotionally, she was much closer to him than Luo Chan, Tan Tai Feng, and the others.
"Yu Jinghe came out quite early."
"But it seems the Civilization Elite have been keeping it a secret." Li Yuan sighed, "Even Tavarez and Jiang Zai only knew that Yu Jinghe was alive. These Star Realm higher-ups had no idea that Spirit Lance was still alive."
"To maintain secrecy, the Civilization Elite wouldn't proactively inform Lin Lan Yue."
He pondered for a long time.
Li Yuan activated special permissions and, through the warship, directly connected to Lin Lan Yue's communication.
...
In the Divine Star Realm, within an ultra-large mansion.
This was Lin Lan Yue's residence.
"Uncle, what's the matter?" Lin Lan Yue furrowed her brows, gazing at the figure on the light screen.
"Lan Yue, the family still hopes that you'll attend the latest meeting," the middle-aged man on the screen smiled bitterly, "Just do it for your uncle's sake."
"Uncle, you've been very kind to me, and I'm willing to listen to other matters... But I won't attend the high-level meetings of the Flame Clan now." Lin Lan Yue spoke firmly.
"The Grand Elder said that when you reach the Flying Heaven Rank, it will be time for you to take over as the Clan Leader." The middle-aged man sighed, "Those elders, they all want to meet you now."
"Why do they want to meet me now?"
Lin Lan Yue shook her head, "I won't get involved in clan matters now. I just want to quietly cultivate in peace. If they have any issues, they can prepare the materials and submit them to the Alliance Discipline Committee."
"You really want to turn the clan upside down?" Her uncle smiled bitterly, "Your mother's matter back then..."
"Uncle!"
Lin Lan Yue interrupted him, her voice calm, "You don't need to come as a mediator. If those elders fear I'll cause them trouble in the future, let them go to the Grand Elder and ask him to rescind his order."
The middle-aged man felt both amused and exasperated.
Rescind the order? The Flame City Demigod had already proclaimed that Lin Lan Yue was the Flame Clan's most promising candidate for Demigod... How could they rescind the order?
"Fine, if you really don't want to return, then don't."
"I'll do my best to appease the elders." The middle-aged man sighed, "You cultivate in the Divine Temple, and take care of yourself."
Lin Lan Yue nodded slightly and hung up the call.
She was truly grateful to her uncle. When Li Chang Zhou was injured, it was she who begged him to send the treasure from the Flying Star Virtual Network back to Blue Star overnight...
But towards the Flame Clan... Lin Lan Yue's emotions were complex.
Not long after hanging up.
"Master, your special attention target, 'Li Yuan', is requesting communication." The assistant AI's voice sounded.
Lin Lan Yue trembled, and her eyes seemed to glisten with a hint of divine light, as if she couldn't quite believe it.
"Master, do you wish to accept the call?" The AI's voice sounded again.
"Accept!" Lin Lan Yue replied immediately.
The call connected.
"Lan Yue, it's me." A deep voice resonated.
Lin Lan Yue covered her mouth, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears, but she made no sound.
"I've seen the messages you sent me." The deep voice continued, pausing for a long time before saying, "The war in Ming Xu World shouldn't last much longer. I'll return to the Divine Star Realm soon."
"Wait for me."
"Okay, be careful." Lin Lan Yue's eyes glistened with tears, but her voice remained calm.
She didn't ask what had happened to Li Yuan, for she understood his importance to the entire civilization.
In the silence that followed.
The barrier between them seemed to slowly dissipate.
...
In Ming Xu World, Li Yuan hung up the call, his heart gradually calming down. After a while, he resumed his quiet cultivation.
Soon after.
Another communication request arrived. Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and clicked to accept the call, "Principal, it's me."
"You little rascal, you disappeared and scared us all to death. I and Bai Shan Demigod were genuinely worried you'd died in the Sacred Land." Fang Hai's voice sounded.
"But Yu Jinghe came out first." Li Yuan replied.
"We knew you weren't dead, but we weren't sure about your specific situation. According to Yu Jinghe, that Sacred Land involves more than one deity."
"Yes, it's a massive involvement." Li Yuan nodded.
Although he couldn't reveal the Heavenly Serpent Deity, the secret of the Mother Ship's outer layer couldn't be hidden, and Li Yuan didn't intend to conceal it.
"So, do you have the confidence to occupy Ming Xu World now?" Fang Hai asked.
"I'm a hundred percent confident." Li Yuan replied.
"Good." Fang Hai smiled, "Now, enter the Virtual Network, enter Starfire Space."
"The Alliance Leader wants to see you."
