World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 289 - 173 The Race of Two Elders

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and a somewhat chubby young man now stood before them.

His method of appearing, similar to that of the old man beside him, involved an ability akin to space transmission.

"These two are experts..."

This thought flashed through their minds.

Two individuals capable of using space abilities—such characters seemed extraordinary, no matter which novel you put them in.

The four of them appraised the newcomer subtly.

Compared to the inscrutable elder they first encountered, this young man seemed much more approachable.

His slightly portly figure and the faint smile lingering on his lips, combined with an age similar to their own, immediately gave off a welcoming vibe, clearly much more amenable to conversation.

The two who had teleported here were, of course, Brother Hero and Ye Cang.

Their mastery of the Starry Stone was not so refined; therefore, their speed was naturally not very fast—it took them over a minute to arrive one after another.

Brother Hero, this fellow, even started drawing first, yet he still ended up behind Mr. Ye.

"Haha, Elder Ye, your speed is still faster than mine. I didn’t expect that despite taking action before you, I would still end up arriving after you," Brother Hero said to Ye Cang right after teleporting.

Ye Cang gave a slight nod upon hearing this.

"I merely bested you by a little," he said.

Their conversation reached the ears of the newcomers, which led them to imagine a curious scenario:

Two transcendents of inscrutable power had arrived to guide them.

They had come from a nearby Star Alliance base, employing some magical means and arriving here rapidly in a manner unknown to the others.

The newcomers even pictured that along the way, for a bit of fun and carried away by their spirits, the two experts had engaged in a little speed contest.

Despite starting first, the young man ended up trailing behind the elder.

From this, they inferred that the elder’s cultivation must be far superior to the other’s, perhaps even being his senior.

The observations of the group were swift, and their thoughts flashed by in the blink of an eye.

By the time Brother Hero and Ye Cang turned their gazes back, the group had already adjusted their mentality.

"Um, we were referred by Brother Man to undergo awakening. May I ask if you two are seniors from the Star Alliance?" the one who spoke was Yang Yangyang.

He had always been a person who enjoyed the ancient culture of Huaxia, and influenced by Ye Cang’s demeanor, he unconsciously altered even his own way of speaking.

"Hmm, the Star Lord instructed us to come fetch you all. You may address me simply as Xuan Yi," Mr. Ye responded with a light smile, which, though amiable, maintained a certain distance.

Despite his usual respect for Zhang Xiaoman, it was because she was the one who had brought him into the Extraordinary Domain and held a mentor-student affection for him.

If it had been someone else, Mr. Ye wouldn’t have been unapproachable, but he certainly wouldn’t have been overly warm either.

After all, Ye Cang was already in his nineties and was the Sect Leader of Dragon Sleep Mountain, an inheritance that had lasted for a thousand years.

As the head of the Ye Family, it wouldn’t be fitting for him to show the same enthusiasm to everyone he met, would it?

Brother Hero also mentioned his own name, and after a brief introduction between the two parties, they headed toward the Inheritance Land together.

The distance from the Final Gate to the Inheritance Land wasn’t too far, just under a kilometer. The main issue was that the road hadn’t been repaired yet, so it was a bit tough to walk.

Mr. Ye moved steadily ahead, leading the way. If no one mentioned it, it would be impossible to tell that he was already in his nineties.

Brother Hero, on the other hand, was slightly behind by a step.

He intentionally slowed down to converse with these few newcomers.

The members of the Light Blue Clan might all be wealthy heirs who enjoyed exploring, but they were also well-socialized from an early age. Seeing his approach, they immediately understood his intentions.

Xiao Shun quickened his pace and approached the burly young man, then whispered,

"This... elder, are we heading to the Star Alliance’s base now?"

Just as Brother Hero was looking forward to chatting, he saw someone taking the initiative to speak, which pleased him, and he immediately struck up a conversation.

"Hey, stop calling me ’elder.’ Just call me Hero. I’m just like you guys, having become an Awakener not so long ago. We’re companions in the Star Alliance from now on, so there’s no need for such formality."

"Oh, alright, but speaking of which, I think your name is really distinctive, haha."

They were all young, and in just a short time, they were chatting away, changing their address for Brother Hero from ’elder’ to ’Brother Hero.’

"I don’t know if you’ve been here before, but let me tell you, this place used to be a gathering spot for the Three Great Sanctuaries. Although it’s now abandoned... but the Star Lord used Great Divine Power to open up the Original Realm, initiate Recovery, and establish the Star Alliance on his own, giving us this opportunity."

"Don’t be fooled by its current dilapidated appearance, the Star Lord has built a Shield that isolates us from the outside world all around. This will become an exclusive development space for our Star Gate, and inside the Shield, you don’t have to worry much about monster attacks. We have the warning of the World Tree... Yes, it’s that World Tree you’re thinking of."

Brother Hero described the situation here with great eloquence.

Though Yang Yangyang and Xun You had been here once before, they had been in a hurry last time and did not fully understand many things.

Plus, many of the ’settings’ were added later by Zhang Xiaoman, so they found Brother Hero’s explanations quite fascinating, conjuring miraculous scenes in their minds.

"Do you see that peak in the distant mist? That’s Goddess Peak mentioned in the records of the Three Great Sanctuaries! It’s said her name is ’Nanmu,’ a goddess representing hope. It’s a pity that the fog often obscures it, and it’s rare to get a clear view, but you guys are lucky today to see it so clearly."

"..."

This way, Xiao Shun and the others listened to Brother Hero’s tales of the strange and marvelous as they walked, all filled with longing. Even Ye Cang couldn’t help but slow down and listen.

Although he had heard Zhang Xiaoman mention these extraordinary tales during his last visit, they were still captivating enough to draw him in once again.

The group wound their way through the ruins and eventually arrived at the collapsed entrance; Yang Yangyang and Xun You recalled the scene as well.

They knew this was the spot where the Awakening would soon take place, known as the Inheritance Land.
