As she spoke, Liu Yao looked at Lu Sheng, who felt a slight tremor in his body. He already understood what Liu Yao meant with her words.
Indeed, Liu Yao continued, "After all, the higher-ups of the Human Federation do not know whether the Lord of Ascension, who has recently awakened, is still the same being formed by the will of the ancient human predecessors, or if... it is a new Galactic Life Form that has borrowed the resurrection of the Lord of Ascension—the Lord of the End!"
Liu Yao’s words made Lu Sheng’s heart tremble violently. He hadn’t imagined that he could learn so many secrets of the Human Federation.
"So, if possible, try not to get involved in such matters. This time, you were fortunate because of the mark I left behind. Otherwise, even the wisp of Chaotic Will left by the Lord of the End’s remnant would be enough to obliterate you."
Liu Yao looked at Lu Sheng and said calmly.
Then, Liu Yao extended her hand and said, "Give me the Profound Ring of the Seal of Brilliance."
Lu Sheng didn’t know what Liu Yao intended to do, but he obediently handed over the Profound Ring of the Seal of Brilliance to her.
After receiving the Profound Ring, Liu Yao waved her hand, and a wisp of Life Force entered the ring.
Having finished this, Liu Yao returned the ring to Lu Sheng.
"I have replenished the mark I left in the Seal of Brilliance. For this period, you should stay within the Life Factions and cultivate diligently. Try not to go out."
Lu Sheng took the ring and nodded.
In fact, without Liu Yao’s reminder, if it wasn’t for anything special, Lu Sheng also wouldn’t easily leave the Life Factions. After all, he had the system panel here; he just needed to grind and everything would be fine.
Once he became stronger, he could then venture out to see the world. As for now... even at the fifth level, it was nothing significant in this vast universe.
At least, he needed to reach the sixth level to be safe!
However, it wasn’t over yet. After replenishing the mark in the Seal of Brilliance, Liu Yao handed Lu Sheng three more tokens.
Lu Sheng was a bit surprised as he received the tokens, for the three tokens turned out to be those that he had obtained after reaching the top hundred in the Life Factions, containing the Gumo Martial Arts True Intent.
Liu Yao giving him three tokens at once was beyond Lu Sheng’s expectations.
Immediately, Liu Yao said, "Later, I will have someone upgrade the array in your residence. Again, stay within the factions and cultivate diligently."
"Avoid getting involved in matters like what happened with the divine anomaly before."
Liu Yao advised Lu Sheng once more.
This time, Lu Sheng sensed something different.
"Senior Sister keeps urging me to stay and cultivate within the Life Factions. Could it be that something is about to happen within the Life Factions or Star River University?"
"And this matter... might even affect the Life Factions, or even me?"
Lu Sheng speculated silently in his heart.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t come to a conclusion. So, Lu Sheng decided not to ponder it anymore. Since Liu Yao advised him to cultivate diligently within the Life Factions, he would just follow.
After all, that was Lu Sheng’s plan for himself.
Grinding was all he needed to do!
Afterward, Lu Sheng bid farewell to Liu Yao and headed back to his residence.
Watching Lu Sheng leave, Liu Yao withdrew her gaze from him, turned around, and disappeared in the laboratory.
When she reappeared, she was in a special space.
In this space, a dense Life Force continuously emanated, and an old figure sat there quietly.
Life Force continuously flowed into that old figure, making it exude a powerful aura.
Liu Yao’s figure slowly emerged. Looking at the old figure, she bowed respectfully, "Teacher!"
Indeed, the old figure before her was Gumo.
Gumo looked at Liu Yao and opened his eyes with a smile.
Liu Yao nodded gently, came to Gumo’s side, and recounted to him everything Lu Sheng had told her about Chen Moyun and the Blood War Factions.
However, after she finished speaking, apart from a faint gleam in his eyes, Gumo remained very calm.
This made Liu Yao a bit surprised, "Teacher, do you know something?"
However, Gumo did not respond to Liu Yao but looked at her and said softly, "I have at most 50 years left. I will have to break through to the eighth level. By then, I won’t be able to stay within the Life Factions."
These words made even the usually mature and stable Liu Yao couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.
"Once I break through to the eighth level, I won’t be able to stay in the rear of the Star River Star System anymore, so..."
Gumo looked at Liu Yao.
Liu Yao pursed her lips. This was something she had known long before.
The reason that eighth-level Transcendents couldn’t stay in the rear was that, first, the resources produced in the rear were basically useless for Transcendents at the eighth level.
Staying here meant stifling their progress.
Secondly, eighth-level Transcendents were the mainstay among the cosmic life forms and were the urgently needed fighting force on the Human Federation’s frontline.
It was also an obligation that every eighth-level Transcendent of the Human Federation had to fulfill.
