Lu Sheng’s heart stirred slightly: "Mentor, is Senior Sister alright?"
Gumo looked at Lu Sheng and scolded with a smile: "You brat, I call you first, and instead of asking about me, you ask about Liu Yao. Hmph!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ noᴠelfire.net
Lu Sheng scratched his head and smiled.
"Don’t worry, Liu Yao is fine. However, she got a little injured stopping an eighth-tier strong one from hindering you from passing the External Tribulation. She should be back at the Life Factions to heal now."
"She’ll recover soon."
Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng was deeply moved.
"Senior Sister... stopped an eighth-tier strong one for me!"
Lu Sheng’s expression became somewhat complicated.
Gumo couldn’t help but laugh and scold: "I knew you were ungrateful, your old man here exerted a lot of effort too!"
Lu Sheng snapped back to reality and quickly said: "Thank you, Mentor."
Gumo looked at Lu Sheng’s appearance and eventually said nothing: "Alright, since the faction is fine, I can rest assured."
"I still need to oversee some rescue work on the front lines, so I’ll talk to you later!"
With that, Gumo ended the communication with Lu Sheng and his figure disappeared in front of Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the Life Factions: "Senior Sister..."
Lu Sheng couldn’t help but clench his fists. It must be said that Liu Yao indeed did a lot for him during this External Tribulation.
One must know that after the seventh tier, each tier is a whole new world. Even for someone as exceptional as Liu Yao, shaking an eighth tier with a seventh-tier cultivation comes at a great cost.
Being injured... was already the best outcome.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, suppressing all thoughts in his mind, and then started to focus on organizing the rescue work.
However, the rescue work didn’t last long before Lu Sheng received a message from the White Emperor’s Order.
Lu Sheng took out the White Emperor’s Order, sensing the energy fluctuations transmitted from it. While feeling puzzled, he also found a quiet place and injected his consciousness into the White Emperor’s Order.
Soon, Emperor Bai’s figure appeared in front of Lu Sheng.
"Your Excellency Emperor Bai!"
Lu Sheng respectfully bowed to Emperor Bai.
Emperor Bai looked at Lu Sheng, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
"Not bad. Having passed the External Tribulation, you have stepped into the ranks of higher life forms. At your age, higher life forms are very rare throughout the entire Human Federation!"
In fact, Emperor Bai’s words were a bit exaggerated.
Not to mention very rare, but Lu Sheng stepping into the seventh tier around the age of a hundred is almost unheard of in the history of the Human Federation.
Lu Sheng smiled modestly, then asked: "Emperor Bai, you were looking for me... Is there something I need to do?"
Hearing this, Emperor Bai’s expression suddenly became serious. He said to Lu Sheng in a deep voice: "Now, put all your work on hold. There’s something you need to do!"
Lu Sheng’s heart was curious. What matter requires Emperor Bai to personally notify him?
"I have left my exclusive mark in the White Emperor’s Order. What you need to do... is take my mark and meet the Lord of Ascension!"
At this, a surprised look appeared on Lu Sheng’s face.
"Isn’t the Lord of Ascension..."
Lu Sheng was just about to ask when he realized, his surprise replaced by solemnity.
After all, the events of the Forging Star System were unknown to Lu Sheng, who was far away in the Star River Star System. But, considering the previous strange actions of the Ascension Factions and Emperor Bai’s current demands, Lu Sheng guessed the situation regarding the Lord of Ascension.
However, what puzzled Lu Sheng was why Emperor Bai wanted him to meet the Lord of Ascension?
Although puzzled, Lu Sheng still agreed.
Seeing this, Emperor Bai nodded in satisfaction before his figure dispersed, and Lu Sheng’s consciousness exited the White Emperor’s Order.
"Meet the Lord of Ascension..."
Lu Sheng, holding the White Emperor’s Order, pondered for a moment before his figure appeared at the Martial Immortal Villa, entrusting the rescue work to Yang Zhenyun and others.
Lu Sheng took the rescue work very seriously.
First, it was to prevent any more casualties among ordinary beings due to the aftermath of the war, as rescue could minimize the loss of life.
Secondly, although the Martial Immortal Villa and Life Factions had suffered only minor losses, other factions had suffered major damages, their basic infrastructure destroyed, and needed to resettle a large number of people.
This incident provided Martial Immortal Villa an opportunity to increase its population.
Of course, if possible, Lu Sheng didn’t wish for such opportunities. After all, every time this happened, too many ordinary people would die.
After entrusting a series of tasks to Yang Zhenyun and others, Lu Sheng left the Star River Star System, using the Star System Teleportation Array to head to the Forging Star System.
As soon as he entered the domain of the Forging Star System, Lu Sheng vaguely sensed that something was not right.
"The Forging Star System... Why has it become so quiet?"
Standing in the void of the Forging Star System, Lu Sheng looked at the surrounding planets. The entire Cosmic Void was utterly silent.
It was as if the mute button had been pressed.
If the aftermath of a battle had caused this stillness, Lu Sheng would have easily recognized it. But the Forging Star System hadn’t suffered much damage, yet it still presented this situation, which made Lu Sheng feel uneasy.
Lu Sheng squinted slightly, scanning his surroundings: "Why do I feel like, in this cosmic space, there is a gaze..."
