"Just now on the way here, I saw it," Nan Gong Yao propped his arm up to support his head, his cold gaze sweeping across the starry sky outside the window. This kind of language had appeared before; no one had believed it for five hundred years, yet unexpectedly, it had resurfaced now.
Li Feng followed Nan Gong Yao's gaze towards the starry sky, unsure if he was responding to Nan Gong Yao's words or speaking to himself, murmuring softly, "The Alien Star appears; it must unify, divide and combine, combine and divide."
"What did he say?" Nan Gong Yao withdrew his gaze. No matter how he looked at it now, he could not change the fact of the Alien Manifestation. It was better to listen to the person who specialized in stargazing for him.
"If he hadn't sent a letter early on, I fear I wouldn't have noticed the Alien Star's appearance tonight," said Li Feng, handing over the letter he had received a few days ago to Nan Gong Yao. He continued, "Sovereign, he hasn't been to Exiled Nation in many years; why do you still trust him so much?"
Nan Gong Yao took the letter from Li Feng and glanced at it before setting it aside. It seemed that person had not forgotten the agreement from years ago, even if he himself was close to forgetting it. The various instructions from his father before his passing were now beginning to come true one by one. But why did it have to be during his generation, when everything was almost forgotten?
"There are probably not many left of his lineage by now; his thoughts weigh heavier than any of ours," Nan Gong Yao stood up and walked out from behind the desk, pondering as he touched the ring on his hand. Li Feng's question was not wrong. Whether that person was truly trustworthy, he himself did not know. The only reason he maintained contact was because he had promised his father. Now, with great changes about to occur, whether that person could still be trusted was something he had to doubt.
It was precisely because that lineage had dwindled. If he were to do something at this time, there would be nothing to fear. The Three Great Empires were different; they were large and powerful and had too many considerations. Moreover, they had held their positions for so long; could they really step aside now? Could he do it himself?
Li Feng observed the pensive Nan Gong Yao and thought he was worried about Exiled Nation's fate. He spoke up, "Sovereign need not worry too much. Exiled Nation currently ranks first among the Three Kingdoms in national strength; even with this Alien Star..."
"Hmph, what do you know?" Nan Gong Yao interrupted Li Feng coldly. They did not understand what the Alien Manifestation truly represented; they merely thought it affected national fortunes. This matter would likely require consultation with others; he could only send messages to the Sovereigns of the other two countries. He then instructed Li Feng to prepare paper and pen. He needed to know their thoughts as soon as possible.
“National Master arrives at the palace late at night, but for what purpose?”
The man was stopped outside the Sovereign's chamber. He frowned at the person in front of him who was questioning him sharply; when did the concubines of the harem become so bold as to speak to the National Master in such a manner?
The woman blocking his path was the most favored concubine in Dream Nation. A palace maid had received news in the middle of the night that the National Master had an urgent matter to discuss with the Sovereign. However, she did not care how important the matter was; since the Sovereign was spending the night with her, she would not allow anyone to take him away, even if that person was not one of her rivals for favor, even if that person was the National Master.
“Oh, what’s this? Is it that National Master looks down on speaking with a woman?” She pinched her fingers delicately and pressed a silk handkerchief to the corner of her eye, suddenly reddening as if no one had treated her poorly. “Although I am a woman and my status may not be as noble as yours, I am still someone who serves the Sovereign. How can you look down on me like this?”
“You exaggerate; I mean no such thing.” The man took a step back. In the stillness of the night, even though there were palace maids and guards nearby, he did not wish to be associated with any concubine in the palace.
Seeing the National Master step back, she felt secretly pleased and leaned forward slightly, saying, “Since that’s the case, why not tell me what you need? I can relay it to the Sovereign first thing tomorrow morning.”
Faced with her audacity, his expression remained calm. Given her volume, it was likely that the Sovereign inside had already heard everything. The fact that he did not stop her and allowed her to act so recklessly made his cold voice ring out in front of the chamber, “Since the Sovereign insists on this, then I shall take my leave.” With that, he turned and left without a trace of reluctance.
“Hmph, nothing more than this.” The woman wiped away the tears welling in her eyes and revealed a triumphant smile as she turned and entered the room, leaping into the arms of the Dream Kingdom Ruler, acting coyly. “See? The National Master is not as difficult as you said; I sent him away with just a few words.”
The Dream Kingdom Ruler, though aging, showed no restraint when it came to women. Otherwise, why would he refuse to meet with the National Master just because of a palace woman? It was precisely because this woman had skills in bed that stirred his desires; how could he bear to go discuss matters with the National Master?
Such a night should be spent with beauty in one’s embrace...
Once again, the man looked back over his shoulder. Last time it was due to the opening of a secret realm; this time it was because of Alien Manifestation. It seemed that in his lifetime, his mission could finally be fulfilled. However, this Dream Nation...
Sigh...

“Alien Manifestation, how could it happen at this time?” The Cloud Kingdom Ruler expressed some concern and turned to ask the guard, “Is there still no news from the Ink King?”
The guard shook his head. The Sovereign had been asking about the Ink King frequently lately, but they truly had not received any information.
The Cloud Kingdom Ruler sighed deeply. Back then, he wanted to pass the throne to Yun Tianmo, but he had looked down on it. If it were any other prince, they would have woken up laughing from their dreams long ago. Now that he was getting older, Cloud Nation needed a new Sovereign, and with this Alien Manifestation, it was urgent for him to support Cloud Nation. Yet at this critical moment, the Ink King had gone to the Millennium Ruins and had lost all contact...
“Your Excellency, is there any explanation for this Alien Manifestation?” The guard did not understand why the Sovereign was so worried about an extra star appearing in the sky.
“You don’t understand; there are not many who do anymore.” The Cloud Kingdom Ruler shook his head. Nowadays, there were probably very few people in the entire Yuhai Continent who knew about the ancient legend of the Alien Star. He only knew because it had been passed down through generations of imperial Sovereigns. Moreover, this matter could not be known too widely; even when he wanted Yun Tianmo to succeed him, he hadn’t told him about it.
The Alien Manifestation... this was a sign for the Yuhai Continent...
