More powerful elites from various academies and countries arrive to defend Blue Star. Gongshu De, guided by Lin Yi, reflects on the loss of precious qualities over time and the parallel between his past organization and Blue Star's current purity. He Zhenyuan, the Marshal of the Xia Professional Alliance Army, confronts Gongshu De, who reveals his sole interest is in Lin Yi and offers a truce if Blue Star cooperates. He Zhenyuan acknowledges Lin Yi's importance and proposes a battle between the Blue Star Professional Alliance and Gongshu De, just as another group arrives.

The leader didn’t emanate a powerful aura.

He wore glasses and had the slightly plump physique of a middle-aged man, even carrying a somewhat frail scholarly air.

Yet the moment he appeared, all the professionals of Blue Star seemed inspired, their eyes becoming resolute in an instant.

Indeed, this suddenly appearing middle-aged man was none other than the Alliance Leader of the Blue Star Professional Alliance, Xu Sheng.

His combat power might not bring about any change on the battlefield, but his presence was the greatest encouragement to the professionals of Blue Star.

"I apologize for being a bit late, everyone. Today is a very special day. We are facing the greatest crisis in history. Someone wants information about Lin Yi. Should we divulge it?"

After Xu Sheng set foot on the stage, with just a few words, he made the entire venue boil with fervor.

The response from the Blue Star professionals was naturally a resounding no.

Betraying their companions was unthinkable for them.

Betraying Lin Yi was even more impossible.

The loud and unanimous response made even Mr. Gongsu, a mighty figure, feel a bit uncertain.

"Esteemed elder, although Blue Star’s power is inadequate, to have us betray Lin Yi is impossible. Even if you plan to leave us in peace today, we would never accept it."

"Lin Yi is the future of Blue Star. With him, there’s hope for Blue Star’s future. Even if it means facing utter destruction, even if fighting to the last professional, we must try to clear the path for the future."

Xu Sheng knew clearly that once Blue Star’s coordinates were exposed, it would mean Blue Star would never see peaceful days again. The people of Blue Star would have nowhere to hide, and the future of Blue Star would be precarious.

He deeply understood that if Lin Yi were troubled by the current situation of Blue Star, it would lead Lin Yi to sacrifice his life in vain.

Thus, Xu Sheng resolved that even if he gave everything, he must weaken the mysterious old man’s power and leave no leverage against Lin Yi.

"Professionals of Blue Star, heed my command: Protective Array, initiate!"

Before leaving Blue Star, Lin Yi had provided several ways to protect the planet.

Among them was the Protective Array.

The strength of this array varied.

Why was this the case?

The more members channeled their own Source Power into the array, the stronger the array became.

When bringing out this array, Lin Yi had already considered the possibility that Blue Star might face danger one day. Therefore, professionals from Xia and other countries must learn this array.

When crisis strikes, professionals from various countries can directly deploy the array based on what they’ve learned.

With Xu Sheng’s command, all the professionals present infused their Source Power into the array, and in a blink of an eye, an enormous shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping everyone within.

Watching this unfold, Mr. Gongsu’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.

If Dark Rising had the unity of Blue Star’s professionals, it wouldn’t have lost so miserably.

When facing the backlash of All Gods, if Dark Rising’s professionals had been this united, wouldn’t they easily repel the gods infiltrating the Desire Realm?

Xu Sheng wasn’t skilled in combat, but he excelled in command.

Having seen the completion of the array, he ordered the controllers of the array to launch an attack on Mr. Gongsu.

The enormous fist formed by the Source Power of Blue Star’s professionals mercilessly struck Mr. Gongsu’s face.

In an instant, a strong gust swept through, feeling as if it would peel off Mr. Gongsu’s scalp.

Luckily Mr. Gongsu had recovered some Divine Power, otherwise, even an Upper-Rank God would be knocked senseless by this attack.

Seeing that the strike was ineffective, Xu Sheng ordered another fierce assault on Mr. Gongsu. Several enormous fists, materialized from Source Power, relentlessly targeted Mr. Gongsu.

Witnessing the fierce assault by the Blue Star professionals, Mr. Gongsu hurriedly spoke.

"Hold on, hold on, friends of Blue Star, I was joking with you. The coordinates of this planet were given to me by Lin Yi. I am his friend. Because he had some matters, he left first, and I arrived at Blue Star ahead of him. I thought I’d play a joke on you to see how you handle emergencies, but I didn’t expect you to take it so seriously."

These words from Mr. Gongsu even burned out Xu Sheng’s CPU.

Could this powerful old man be one of us?

Is it possible to joke like this?

After careful reflection, it might indeed be possible.

They knew Mr. Gongsu was powerful. Despite being on Blue Star for quite a while, Mr. Gongsu hadn’t rushed to attack; instead, he watched the Blue Star professionals perform, which showed he didn’t have any intent to invade Blue Star.

While Xu Sheng was conflicted about what to do, Lin Yi appeared at the right moment.

Hidden in the shadows, he had witnessed the performance of the Blue Star professionals and was quite satisfied with it.

Setting aside everything else, compared to Ziyue, he was quite successful. The Blue Star professionals didn’t betray him for survival; they even chose to lay down their lives to avoid dragging him down.

To say he wasn’t moved would be impossible, but revealing his testing of Blue Star professionals would be best avoided to prevent a "cry wolf" situation.

Decision-making was very important.

Especially with such critical decisions.

Mr. Gongsu was very powerful.

If what he said was true, continuing the assault would seem quite impolite to this outside powerhouse by Blue Star’s professionals.

But if Gongshu De’s words were false, and he only lied to make it easier to deal with Blue Star, once the professionals of Blue Star retract the array, everyone would fall into crisis.

While Xu Sheng was caught in a dilemma, space in front of Mr. Gongsu briefly distorted.

With a brief flicker of space, a figure that brought tears to the eyes of Blue Star professionals appeared.

"Hey, is this welcome ceremony so grand?"

Lin Yi scratched his head and said.

"Right, let me introduce everyone. This is Mr. Gongsu, originally one of Dark Rising’s Seven Heroes, with Divine Power Level far beyond mine. This old man got tired of staying in Dark Rising for too long and decided to visit us on Blue Star."

Once it was confirmed to be Lin Yi himself, all the professionals of Blue Star relaxed their Source Power and dissipated the array.

Accompanied by Mr. Gongsu, Lin Yi flew towards where Xu Sheng was.

A simple introduction was very necessary.

In addition to Mr. Gongsu’s Divine Power Level and status in Dark Rising, Lin Yi also introduced Mr. Gongsu’s abilities.

"While I’m away from this plane, our communication has been somewhat problematic, but with Mr. Gongsu’s addition, this issue can be perfectly resolved. This old man can create systems allowing us to communicate real-time for tasks, information sharing, and mutual contact."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch.

Could there really be such fortune?

In terms of Divine Power Level and combat ability alone, Gongshu De far surpassed Blue Star’s standards as a super-powerful entity. With such a powerhouse joining Blue Star, Lin Yi can basically ease his worries and focus on enhancing himself.

Beyond these, Gongshu De could also provide such a convenient information system, which was a tremendous boon for Blue Star.
