After finishing their dinner, the group rested on the couch.
Qiuyue Hesha leaned against Lu Ze’s shoulder as she scanned her phone. She pointed out, “The internet is buzzing with comments about the acquisition of the blade demon territory and the breakthrough of the elders.”
Everyone looked over curiously.
Nangong Jing asked, “Has it been announced?”
Lu Ze responded, “Elder Nangong made the order not long ago. Only a few hours had passed, but it seems like the news is widespread.”
Qiuyue Hesha rolled her eyes and pushed Nangong Jing away. “Don’t come over. I’ll adjust the screen to full size!”
Nangong Jing immediately glared at Qiuyue Hesha. “Are you looking for a fight, Fox Demon?!”
…
Alice found their squabble entertaining. “Sister Hesha, hurry up and fix the screen. Let us read it.”
Qiuyue Hesha nodded and projected the screen into the room.
All of their eyes fell upon the news site.
The headline was “Celebration Across the Race! The Thousand-Year War Between Humans and Blade Demons Has Ended. The Human Side Achieves Sweeping Victory!”
“The Four Saints Broke Through to the Cosmic Cloud State, A New Chapter Begins for the Human Race!”
Following the previous subjects, there was also a post about Lu Ze, Nangong Jing, some soldiers from the Shenwu Army, and even Liu Zhiyun.
Qiuyue Hesha opened the article. It narrated the contribution of Lu Ze and the four saints in the battle. They quickly managed to subjugate the Blade Demon Race and some other races. The blade demon territory was successfully conquered.
Lu Ze could not help but blush. The recount in the report painted Lu Ze in a different light. It made him a hero willing to sacrifice everything just to annihilate the Blade Demon Race. It even created a narrative portraying the ordeal he had gone through.
In truth, he knew well enough how little effort he put into it. But then again, he didn’t have the ability to stop the reporters from glorifying him. It was better to let it be.
Still, he was a bit embarrassed by the superfluous praise.
The comment section was bustling with activity. In just an hour, it was flooded with billion posts.
Most of the initial comments went to praise the four saints, the Human Race, including Lu Ze. The rest followed the same content.
Even if they scrolled through a few pages, the group hadn’t encountered anything different.
The girls exchanged glances with each other.
Nangong Jing questioned, “Why did they only praise Ze? Didn’t we contribute too?!”
The faces of the girls were flushed.
‘How could she say that without thinking it through?’
Their contribution was negligible. They merely defended the fleet from getting attacked.
Since Lu Ze ate compliments for breakfast, he wasn’t much cocky.
Right after, Qiuyue Hesha moved on to the post about the breakthrough of the four saints.
“Am I dreaming! The four saints reached the cosmic cloud state! How strong will they be then?”
“Very strong!”
“I heard the Monarch of the New Dawn possessed a cosmic cloud state combat power. Someone in the Shenwu Army shared this information!”
“I know about this too. The Monarch of the New Dawn is the first cultivator with a cosmic cloud state combat power in the Human Race! Now that the four saints reached the cosmic cloud state, the Human Race has five cosmic cloud states!”
“Are we invincible among the nearby region then?”
…
After some time, they also came across some news concerning Lu Ze, the girls, and the distribution of the resources.
All in all, it has been raining good news the entire day.
…
In the middle of reading happily through the posts, someone knocked on the door.
Lu Ze was surprised to find Liu Zhiyun on the other side. He greeted, “Predecessor Liu, what is going on?”
Liu Zhiyun gave him a smile. “Ze, since the matter about the blade demons is resolved and the elders have a cosmic cloud state cultivation level, there is nothing left in the Federation to deal with. What do you think about joining the Crisp Green Blade?”
Lu Ze was caught off-guard by the question. He didn’t expect Liu Zhiyun to ask him directly.
He pondered about it and responded, “I haven’t made up my mind yet, but I’m planning to return home first and stopped by the school to visit my friends before deciding.”
Even if Lu Ze chose to accept the invitation, he still had to wait until he obtains a stronger trump card. Otherwise, he would always be on edge.
The universe had a lot of cosmic cloud states. They did have Ying Ying at their beck and call. However, she wasn’t reliable. She keeps falling asleep at crucial times.
Liu Zhiyun nodded and cracked a smile. “The elders did say you were out for more than a year. You deserve to return and check first.”
Lu Ze inquired, “Did Predecessor Liu visit just to ask me this?”
Liu Zhiyun shook his head. “Not really. Anyway, if you are interested in leaving the Milky Way, I have a good offer for you.”
Lu Ze asked, “What is it?”
Liu Zhiyun answered, “Ze, are you aware of the civilization ruin that has existed for countless years in the universe?”
Lu Ze immediately thought of the ruin found by the Round Race. It was an alternate dimension that a cosmic cloud state could create.
A star state may also use his power to disrupt the space and create an alternation dimension, but the size of it was usually small. Furthermore, the dimension was unstable and incapable of lasting for a long time.
It was different for a cosmic system state though, the dimension one could create was relatively vast and stable.
Of course, it was only the cosmic cloud states who could create a habitable alternate dimension.
With Lu Ze’s current combat power, he could finally create an alternate dimension the size of a solar system. Accordingly, this dimension was livable. But then again, it was impractical to create one now.
Lu Ze nodded. “Yes, I have heard of it.”
Liu Zhiyun smiled. “That ruin in the universe isn’t kept a secret. Numerous powerful beings have visited and explored it. A while ago, my guild went searching for resources.”
Lu Ze asked, “Do a lot of people know about that ruin? Are you saying many races have ventured inside? The universe is boundless. There is actually one ruin known to everyone?”
Liu Zhiyun explained, “That ruin is called Sivir Ancient Battle Ruin. The entrance is accessible at several cosmic realms. Hence, many people have come to know about it.”
Lu Ze and the girls gasped.
‘One ruin is capable of crossing over numerous cosmic realms?’
‘How vast can it be then?’
Liu Zhiyun showed a smile.
“No one knows its actual size. At the entrance, people will be teleported to different regions base on their cultivation level. Those who are below the cosmic cloud state will be dropped in the first region. Those who are cosmic realm states and above will end up in the second region. According to reports, there are three regions in total.”
