Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1759 - 1757: Entering the Game Early

"Sister, Yuan Du is quite small-minded." In the great hall, Chen Yue suddenly spoke, "It's said that during the battle on Baiyue Island, Yuan Du even showed up in person. If that kid hadn't responded quickly, he might have been killed by him."

Jiu Yan was in a foul mood and scoffed upon hearing this: "Such a disgrace to our All Phenomena Sun Blaze! People like him aren't fit to be governors at the All Phenomena Ocean."

"Fit or not, he is still the governor." Chen Yue looked at Jiu Yan. "This time, with our Cheling World's forceful involvement, he will definitely have something to say."

"I don't care about his wellbeing. If he has opinions, he can come talk to me, and you'll see if he dares to speak loudly in front of me!" Jiu Yan seemed to have a very bad impression of Yuan Du.

Having been by Jiu Yan's side for many years, Chen Yue naturally knew the reason behind it. Simply put, it was a story of unfulfilled desires. In the past, Jiu Yan had always ignored Yuan Du, but it was rare to see her so easily angered today.

She mistakenly thought Jiu Yan's mood was because of Chu Shen, so she comforted her: "Shen'er is just going to Three Worlds Island. It's not far. If you can't bear it, don't let Shen'er go."

Jiu Yan shook her head: "Shen'er is already a Constellation. Cultivation within the domain is different from cultivating on the Spirit Island of the All Phenomena Ocean."

The nature's spiritual energy within the domain is suitable for cultivators below Constellation, while the All Phenomena Ocean's Spirit Island is filled with stellar space energy, more suitable for Constellations and above.

Of course, as the Young Master of a domain, the place where Chu Shen cultivates is artificially created, with an environment not much worse than on a high-class Spirit Island, though there are high costs involved.

"Besides, Shen'er has a restless temperament. After the last incident, the fact that he could settle down and practice in seclusion for so long actually surprised me. But if this goes on for long, it would hinder his nature, and his cultivation will yield half the result with double the effort. It's better to let him go out, stay with people he likes and is familiar with, which can accelerate his growth."

Chen Yue slightly nodded, knowing that Jiu Yan was right. Honestly, Chen Yue was also surprised that Chu Shen could stay in seclusion for such a long period.

Beyond surprise, what the two women, as elders, felt more was worry.

Thinking back, after Chu Shen ascended to Constellation, he often left home. This time suddenly settling down clearly wasn't normal; he must have suffered a setback.

This state wouldn't cause any issues in a short time, but if prolonged, it would undoubtedly be a problem.

This is why Jiu Yan allowed Chu Shen to take people to Three Worlds Island without even meeting Lu Ye. She had been considering how to solve Chu Shen's issue, and Lu Ye's sudden arrival provided just the right opportunity, as she believed Lu Ye wouldn't refuse.

Chen Yue smiled slightly: "Sister, letting Shen'er take people to Three Worlds Island isn't just for Shen'er's sake, is it?"

"What else could it be?" Jiu Yan's long eyelashes blinked.

If Chen Yue realized, she would know this was a sign of a guilty conscience, but she didn't notice, and she spoke to herself: "You were unhappy about the Unparalleled Island incident, so naturally, you took this opportunity to retaliate a bit."

Unparalleled Island was something that Chu Shen had spent a lot of effort and energy to establish. Logically, it should have belonged to Chu Shen, but because it was elevated to a top-class Spirit Island and birthed its own Spirit Jade Vein, some people set their eyes on it.

Amid such a situation, even Jiu Yan couldn't resist, as it was the entire local Star System eyeing Unparalleled Island. A top-class Spirit Island indeed could bring significant benefits to the whole Star System and couldn't be monopolized by one domain. After all, she's the Sun Blaze of All Phenomena, in a position that makes some things unavoidable.

On the surface, it's the Celestial Flames World that took the lead to occupy, but in reality, Unparalleled Island is controlled by the entire All Phenomena Star System, with Celestial Flames World just pushed to the forefront.

But this doesn't stop Jiu Yan from being unhappy!

Her precious son got lucky, taking over a revived deserted island, leveling it up to a top-class Spirit Island, but they hadn't reaped much benefit before being forcefully attacked, and she had to "see the bigger picture" and "consider the overall situation"...

Anyone in such a position would feel resentful.

She is indeed the Sun Blaze, but she's also a woman!

She saw the bigger picture; she considered the overall situation; Chu Shen lost Unparalleled Island, but it doesn't mean she had no temper.

This time, letting Chu Shen take people to Three Worlds Island was partly for Chu Shen and also her own indirect retaliation.

With the Unparalleled Island incident preceding, even if Jiu Yan broke a few rules now, Yuan Du and the other governors likely wouldn't dare to say anything.

Jiu Yan pinched Chen Yue's cheek and lifted it: "You sure think a lot!"

Chen Yue's face became distorted, and her speech slurred as she said, "Isn't that so?"

Jiu Yan chuckled and said, "About Unparalleled Island... have you asked Shen'er?"

"In what way?" Chen Yue rubbed her own cheek.

Jiu Yan said, "From what I've heard, Shen'er wasn't the initial person to occupy Unparalleled Island; it was that Lu Yiye!"

"Is that true?" Chen Yue was genuinely unaware of this.

Jiu Yan nodded, "When Shen'er went to Unparalleled Island with a few people, Lu Yiye was already there. Oh, he was using the alias Li Taibai at that time..."

Chen Yue listened intently, curious about how Jiu Yan knew these trivial matters so clearly, even being aware of Lu Yiye's alias.

"Wait a minute..." As she listened, Chen Yue suddenly noticed something that piqued her interest, "Sister, first Lu Yiye went to Unparalleled Island, and then Unparalleled Island suddenly transformed from a desolate island into a top-class Spirit Island. Now he's gone to Three Worlds Island, which also transformed from a desolate island into a high-class Spirit Island..."

Jiu Yan turned to look at her: "Isn't it strange?"

Spirit Island transformations happen occasionally in the All Phenomena Ocean, yet those transformed islands mostly become low-class Spirit Islands, with even mid-class Spirit Islands being rare.

What merits and abilities does this Lu Yiye have? To occupy two desolate islands in succession, one becomes a top-class Spirit Island, and the other becomes a high-class Spirit Island?

"Could it be a coincidence?" Chen Yue frowned because if it's not a coincidence, then it's very peculiar.

"Hard to say." Jiu Yan shook her head, "The transformation of Three Worlds Island happened after Lu Yiye returned from his homeland, and the transformation of Three Worlds Island's rise coincided with the decline of Unparalleled Island. Could that also be a coincidence?"

"Sister, you don't think that kid has some method to make desolate islands rise, do you?" An incredible idea flashed through Chen Yue's mind.

Jiu Yan shook her head and said, "That's impossible. I'm just wondering if this kid has some special method to see things others can't, like... signs of an island's potential for transformation."

Otherwise, there's really no way to explain why Lu Yiye consecutively occupied two transforming desolate islands, and why the growth of those islands was so monumental post-transformation.

Chen Yue fell into thought. If that's really the case, then what kind of skill is this?

Suddenly she realized, "Sister, do you think... Three Worlds Island will surely become a top-class Spirit Island like Unparalleled Island in the future?"

"It's just a thought. After all, Three Worlds Island became a high-class Spirit Island in just over a year. If one day it indeed becomes a top-class Spirit Island, it likely won't be far off." Jiu Yan gazed into the depths of the stellar space, "Getting in the game early, even if the King of Heaven himself comes, don't talk to me about grand strategies!"

Finally, Chen Yue thoroughly understood why Jiu Yan made such a choice today.

Considering Chu Shen, retaliating against his grievances is incidental; getting in early on a potential top-class Spirit Island is Jiu Yan's ultimate aim. Otherwise, if she only considered Chu Shen, Three Worlds Island wouldn't be her only option.

On the starboat from Cheling World, Lu Ye stood side by side with Chu Shen.

Chu Shen was very excited about returning to All Phenomena Ocean, but this time was different from last. He had the task of striving to improve his cultivation and could no longer act as recklessly as before.

Lu Ye suddenly asked, "Has Ban Ci contacted you?"

Chu Shen shook his head and said, "No." He glanced at Lu Ye mischievously and understood, "So big brother likes that type."

Lu Ye's eyelid twitched: "What type?"

Chu Shen raised both hands horizontally, lifted them to his chest, and drew half a circle...

"You misunderstand." Lu Ye maintained a blank expression.

"Heh heh." Chu Shen chuckled without saying more. He knew well whether it was a misunderstanding or not; big brother asked about Ban Ci before and is asking again, clearly still hasn't forgotten.

After two days of sailing through the stellar space, the starboat finally arrived at All Phenomena Ocean, driven primarily by a group of Constellations, at a slow pace.

After entering All Phenomena Ocean, they headed straight towards the direction where Three Worlds Island was located.

Lu Ye contacted Old Tang immediately: "Where are you?"

"All Phenomena Island!" Old Tang replied right away; he was clearly still trying his luck over there, but from the speed of his reply, Lu Ye could tell he'd gained nothing.

"Come back."

"Don't worry about it. I am shameless; if once doesn't work, then twice; if one month doesn't work, then two. I will definitely meet those people; I refuse to believe that no one will welcome from a high-class Spirit Island."

"We have backing now, don't bother with those few Sun Blazes on All Phenomena Island."

"Really?" Tang Jun seemed noticeably skeptical.

"Come back and see for yourself!" Lu Ye sent one final message, then put away the audio talisman.

On All Phenomena Island, outside a gigantic short-stay palace, Tang Jun held the audio talisman, deliberated for a long time, then turned to leave. Whether what Lu Ye said was true or not, he would see it himself after returning.

If it turns out false, there's no harm in coming back again.

Three Worlds Island, though quiet on the surface, has many eyes watching both openly and covertly.

Baiyue's battle brought great fame to Three Worlds Island. Before this, no other high-class Spirit Island battle had been fought with such an impressive casualty ratio, with the attacking side, Three Worlds Island, slaying countless enemies while suffering no deaths.

Everyone who knew of the battle was shocked by its outcome, but it didn't change Three Worlds Island's awkward position at this moment.
