Bi Ji hesitated before proposing, "Then, Your Highness, could you demonstrate this Life Force for us?"
Di Tian, who rarely agreed with others, added, "Yes, Your Highness, I too am eager to witness this so-called Life Force and discover what it truly is!"
To prompt such words from Your Highness, this Life Force must indeed be more formidable than Divine Power!
After pondering for a while, Gu Yuena nodded and said, "Displaying the Life Force isn't out of the question, but I've only just fused with it, and it is not yet stable!"
Having said that, she cautiously released the Life Force that had fused within her!
One could barely make out a pale green orb brimming with vitality in her hands, as strands and wisps of Life Force spilled out from it...
After observing closely, Di Tian remarked with incredible surprise, "Is this Life Force? Despite being such a small amount, it makes me feel an overwhelming surge of vitality!"
Bi Ji, deeply moved, agreed, "Yes, I'm afraid even the Life Force released by Elder Ya'li of the Sea God's Pavilion cannot hold a candle to it!"
"Such a rich essence of life, I feel my old injuries healing subtly!"
"Impossible, we're so far away, yet this Life Force can affect us??"
"Nothing is impossible. Didn't you hear what Her Highness said? This Life Force was used by that man named Xu Sheng, it's naturally extraordinary!"
"I wonder what would happen if we got closer, but since Her Highness said it's not stable, let's not risk it!!"
While they were discussing, the Life Force began to tremble...
Realizing this, Gu Yuena immediately intensified her output of Soul Power until it stabilized once more before retracting it back into her body...
"Di Tian, Bi Ji, now can you understand why I invested so much time to attain Life Force?"
Di Tian and Bi Ji exchanged a glance and nodded in unison...
"Yes! If you could absorb this Life Force, Your Highness, it would be like having a second life!"
They could be sure that such a dense Life Force could revive even a dead person!!
Gu Yuena sighed, "Absorb? That I cannot do, but to use it, there are no problems whatsoever!"
After returning to the Spirit Pagoda, she attempted to absorb the orb of Life Force.
Without a doubt, she failed!
However, fortunately, she did not suffer any serious backlash.
Seemingly losing interest, she changed the subject, "Anyway, let's not talk about Life Force anymore. What are your thoughts on the situation facing the Spirit Pagoda?"
First, she needed to deal with the issues at hand regarding the Spirit Pagoda!
Di Tian's expression immediately turned grave as he honestly replied, "Your Highness, the current state of the Spirit Pagoda is precarious. Once targeted by a God-killing soul-guided missile, it would mean total annihilation!"
"Moreover, the members we dispatched were ostracized by various powers and had no choice but to return to the headquarters!"
Bi Ji joined in, "Yes, the fact that these powers on the Soul Land Continent are ostracizing the Spirit Pagoda must certainly have something to do with the federation. We must take some action!"
Presumably, in the eyes of other powers, the federation which has created the God-Slaying Level soul cannonballs, has already won!!
Gu Yuena's silver eyes glittered, "Indeed, it's time to do something, like, destroying the God-killing soul-guided missiles!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, Di Tian cautioned her, "Your Highness, I believe that such an effort is unlikely to succeed, as the spies we've planted within the federation have until now failed to locate these God-killing soul-guided missiles, let alone destroy them!"
If this had been possible, they wouldn't have waited till now!
Gu Yuena glanced at him and questioned, "Di Tian, from your tone, could it be that you also think the federation will win?"
Di Tian quickly shook his head to deny it, "Your Highness, I didn't mean that, I was just expressing my viewpoint."
Intervention is necessary, just not by those means!
Bi Ji seemed to detect something and cautiously inquired, "Your Highness, since you say so, might you have a solution?"
From beginning to end, Her Highness has appeared quite calm, perhaps she has already thought of a way to resolve it?
However, Gu Yuena's next answer left her utterly disappointed…
"No, I don't have one either!"
Even she could only think of having all the students evacuate the Spirit Pagoda headquarters!
Bi Ji bowed her head, murmuring softly, "I see... I see!"
Gu Yuena chuckled lightly, "Although I don't have a solution, I don't intend to just sit here and wait for doom!"
"How about this, I will personally make a trip to the federation!"
"No!!"
Di Tian and Bi Ji abruptly raised their heads, instinctively exclaiming!
Allowing her to go to the federation alone, wouldn't that be akin to seeking death?
Gu Yuena brushed her fallen hair back over her shoulder before she spoke, "Di Tian, Bi Ji, there's no need for such agitation. I'm merely going to the federation to discuss matters with Guan Yue!"
Di Tian wasn't ready to give up, "But..."
Before he could finish, however, she raised her hand to stop him, "I know what you're worried about, but I'm not going alone!!"
"I'm taking Wulin with me!!"
Di Tian was baffled by this answer, "Take... taking Tang Wulin? Although he is Your Majesty's partner, he's not trustworthy given the current situation!"
Bi Ji spoke with conviction, "Exactly, Your Majesty. We have lived for tens of thousands of years and know all too well how fickle humans can be!!"
"This Tang Wulin is no exception!"
So-called humans, given enough benefit, would not hesitate to betray their companions!
Gu Yuena turned away, her tone cooling slightly, "Enough. I know what I'm doing. The matter is settled!"
…
The federation!
A man rushed into the Council Hall...
His face was a picture of panic as he said, "Hall... Hall Master, there's terrible news!!"
Guan Yue stopped what she was doing, turning her attention to him...
"What's happened? Could it be that Spirit Pagoda has made some move??"
The only thing that could spell major trouble for the federation was the Spirit Pagoda!
The man shook his head, clarifying, "No... no, Hall Master. We've just received word that the master of Spirit Pagoda seems to be planning to visit the federation personally!!"
Guan Yue was stunned, somewhat disbelieving, "What?? Gu Yuena wants to come to the federation??"
Could it be that she intends to show submission to the federation??
No... it couldn't be, that was absolutely impossible!
With this thought, she asked again, "Did she say when she would come?"
The man recalled briefly before affirming, "It seems to be at noon tomorrow, yes, at noon tomorrow!"
Having received the answer, Guan Yue then commanded, "Noon tomorrow, is it? Go and inform all the War Gods to come here immediately!!!"
