With a heart full of confusion and uncertainty, Yi Tianchen returned directly to the Base of Operations of Rainy Years Guild after leaving the Thousand Wood Forest.
Today was indeed a special day!
Not long ago, both Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan received invitations from Qianye—
After a week, the Base of Operations for Righteousness Above All once again stood before everyone!
In simple terms, today marked the construction commencement of the new Guild Base for Righteousness Above All, and the chosen location was also shrouded in speculation—nestled among the towering mountains between Northern Cold City and Sky Feather City, the overall construction style bore a striking resemblance to the Base of Operations of Mist of Time.
As for the invitation…
This was a clever double-edged move! Inviting Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan in front of all the major Small Guild forces clearly indicated one thing: the relationship between Righteousness Above All and Mist of Time had evolved beyond mere economic ties and was now developing into a guild alliance.
Moreover, it was done so openly!
This could not help but raise suspicions for the Second Largest Guild, Divine Silence, and War God Hall. With Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan at the helm, Mist of Time had become a dominant force, its overall strength not to be underestimated. The bold move by Righteousness Above All at this moment, coupled with their former ally Supreme Alliance, held significant implications for their meeting!
Thus, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan found themselves in a dilemma.
Long before everyone began discussing Mist of Time's struggle for Dominion, Mist of Time had officially stated that they would not declare war on any guild while ensuring their own interests. Now, participating in Righteousness Above All and Supreme Alliance seemed to contradict that initial stance.
What should they do?
Going was not ideal, but neither was staying away. At this critical moment, it was Liu Yuhan who quickly devised a response strategy.
At 3 PM that afternoon, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan arrived at the newly established Base of Operations for Righteousness Above All. However, to the surprise of Qianye and Supreme Alliance, trailing behind Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan was not a single member of the Dragon-Slaying Eight-Man Team, but rather a team led by Mo Ziwen from Mist and Rain Commerce.
The arrival was significant, as it consisted entirely of members responsible for the operations of the Chamber.
The implications were clear: Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's meeting with Qianye and Supreme Treasure was merely an economic endeavor. Not only did it respond well to Qianye's invitation, but it also swiftly addressed the rumors circulating in the outside world.
"Heh heh..."
Qianye and Supreme Treasure felt a bit awkward. Their initial intention was to drag Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's Mist of Time into their plans. Regardless of what choices Mist of Time would make in the future, they hoped to create an appearance that Mist of Time was closely aligned with Righteousness Above All and Supreme Alliance.
The alliance of these three parties would certainly draw the attention of Divine Silence and War God Hall!
"Thank you, President Qianye, for your invitation. It is truly a great honor!" Ignoring the awkwardness between Qianye and Supreme Treasure, Yi Tianchen offered friendly pleasantries. Liu Yuhan and the others cooperated seamlessly, while Mo Ziwen even took the initiative to discuss recent business dealings with Righteousness Above All, as if this meeting was solely aimed at establishing a better commercial partnership.
...
Time passed quickly, and as dusk fell, the setting sun painted the sky crimson!
Standing atop the new Base of Operations for Righteousness Above All, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan suddenly realized that this was indeed a perfect spot to watch the sunset.
It turned out that among the stacked mountains, Qianye had chosen this location on the highest peak. Looking out westward revealed a clear path; although there were rolling hills, none were as high as this mountain. The Guild Base relied on the mountain itself, forming a chain-like structure halfway up where clouds swirled around.
To breach such a Base of Operations would require more than just a significant power disparity; it seemed almost impossible.
Realizing this, another subtle feeling inevitably rose in the hearts of Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan. The invitation from Qianye and Supreme Treasure for them to visit was likely not merely to create an impression of a tripartite alliance.
Perhaps there was also an element of intimidation involved!
The facts were clear; despite Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan having stated long ago that Mist of Time would not easily declare war on any guild, how could they, as core leaders of several major guilds, easily believe that the development and expansion of guilds throughout history had ever followed a single path?
While military might was certainly essential, the strategy of gentle encroachment was an even more effective approach.
Thus, Mist of Time remained a potential adversary to all factions!
By inviting Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan and showcasing the strength of their Base of Operations, Qianye and Supreme Treasure aimed to convey a message: no matter what reasons might arise in the future, if Mist of Time intended to scheme against Righteousness Above All, it would be wise to think twice before taking action.
"Heh heh..."
A light chuckle came from behind. Supreme Treasure casually asked, "So, what do you think? The scenery here isn't bad, right?"
"Indeed!"
Yi Tianchen did not hide his excitement. Suddenly struck by a thought, he asked, "Supreme Treasure, your profession is Soul Mage, right?"
"That's correct!"
Supreme Treasure was momentarily taken aback. This secret had long ceased to be one; after all, Yi Tianchen was a formidable First Person and should have been well aware of it.
"Then, your mentor is Soul Mage Aiden, right?"
"You know this too?" The surprise from earlier instantly turned into shock, and Supreme Treasure asked in confusion, "I wonder what First Person suddenly asking about this means?"
Even Liu Yuhan and the others beside him looked equally puzzled.
Yi Tianchen smiled slightly and continued, "If I remember correctly, Supreme Treasure President received the main quest of [Heaven's Path], which is to find the soul of Empire Guild·Elena and destroy it, right?"
"That's right!"
"I've heard that a Soul Mage can sense the existence of all souls..." Yi Tianchen shifted his tone, "So, as a disciple of Soul Mage Aiden, Supreme Treasure President should also be able to sense the existence of souls?"
"Haha..."
Supreme Treasure laughed heartily but then added somewhat speechlessly, "That kind of thing only exists within NPCs. I'm a player; how could I possibly have such an ability? Moreover, I've heard my mentor Aydin say that a Soul Mage cannot sense all souls everywhere; otherwise..."
"For example..."
Interrupted directly by Yi Tianchen, Supreme Treasure was taken aback for a moment before asking in confusion, "For example, if the other party has no soul..."
"..."
