The leaders of Blue Star finalized plans to develop planets for professionals, aiming to ease Lin Yi's burden. Just as they were about to form an expedition team, Mr. Gongsu arrived, furious that Lin Yi had revealed his abilities to the Immortal King, his ancient enemy. Lin Yi's message requested Mr. Gongsu work for the Immortal King, which deeply upset him. The leaders comforted Mr. Gongsu, understanding Lin Yi's likely strategic reasons, and he agreed to discuss the plan. Xu Sheng felt saddened that Lin Yi's parents would not see him return, though they were comforted by his future daughter-in-law's presence.

On Blue Star, Lin Yi’s influence is unmatched; who dares to claim second place?

The status of Lin Yi’s parents on Blue Star needs no elaboration, even if Lin Yi never returns in his lifetime, no one on the planet would dare disrespect them.

"Uncle and Auntie, I am very grateful for your teachings. I will take to heart what you have said today and strive to meet my own standards of satisfaction."

A young student from Fu Xi Academy took advantage of Shenxiao’s break to specially visit the principal’s parents.

Lin Yi, the esteemed principal, has been missing for over ten years, during which time the staff and students of Shenxiao, including Wanchong Mountain, have been distressed both day and night.

Lin Yi, to Shenxiao, was not only a principal but also the strongest pillar.

He was the spiritual pillar of Shenxiao.

Many Shenxiao students put in their utmost effort in training, honing their combat skills, just to shine in crucial Shenxiao competitions, hoping to catch their idol’s attention, if only for a fleeting moment, and receive Lin Yi’s approval.

However, it’s been far too long since they last saw Lin Yi or heard of his whereabouts on Blue Star.

Currently, while information is not heavily restricted, except for those concerning Blue Star’s security, most details can be shared. Shenxiao is Lin Yi’s alma mater and Xia’s premier academy, and with Lin Yi’s tenure there, information would logically be shared with Shenxiao.

But a whole decade has passed without any news of Lin Yi, and the students of Shenxiao are no fools; they know Lin Yi must have encountered some significant troubles.

Yet, no one has dared to bring this subject to light.

Shenxiao, Xia’s foremost academy.

Its students are the elite among elites, fully aware of the responsibilities they carry and the peace on Blue Star hard-won by Lin Yi’s sacrifices.

Even though their idol is absent, they continue to uphold his spirit and protect this blue world earnestly.

This young man named Zhang Yan used his limited holiday to fulfill filial duties for his idol and learned a great deal, leaving him fulfilled with today’s visit.

"You don’t need to tidy up the dishes; Xiyue mentioned that your Shenxiao students are pressed for time and have heavy workload. Fulfilling academic requirements is immensely challenging, so us older folks with more time will manage these small tasks."

Zhang Yan didn’t refuse Lin Guodong and his wife’s kind offer.

Young and vibrant individuals should spend their time sharpening their skills to protect those important to them.

"Indeed, you Shenxiao students are each Xia’s top talents. Go forth with your missions; if there are unresolved issues, communicate with the principal. Don’t be deceived by their typically reticent demeanor; they are incredibly kind-hearted and care deeply for the students."

Xiyue, Xia’s premier female War God.

Combining beauty and power, her aura rivals the heavens.

In terms of excellence, Xiyue surpasses Nangong Ling in many respects, yet no one dares harbor excess thoughts for her, as all of Blue Star knows she is Lin Yi’s woman!

Upon hearing Xiyue’s words, Zhang Yan was deeply moved.

"Lady Xiyue, I will hold your words dear."

However, upon earnestly looking up at Xiyue, Zhang Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit saddened.

The feats of this female War God are well-documented across Blue Star, and while not always victorious, she is indisputably meritorious.

The Blue Star Professional Alliance keeps numerous records of Xiyue’s battle footage.

Whether it’s her powerful artillery, her adept control of the Destruction Law, or her close-range combat skills, they represent Blue Star’s pinnacle.

Each frame of battle is praiseworthy, and with her elegant combat style, describing her fights as artistry is far from exaggerated.

Zhang Yan has seen much of Xiyue’s battle footage; she was always valiant, her eyes brimming with confidence.

Now, ten years have passed.

Time has not left any marks on Xiyue’s face; she remains stunningly beautiful, as youthful and vibrant as always.

Yet, Xiyue’s eyes no longer shine as brightly, now carrying more shadow.

In recent years, Xiyue seldom undertakes missions, unlike Nangong Ling and Sun Dachuan, who frequently visit the South Pole Ice Cave to further improve their capabilities.

Most of her time is spent accompanying Lin Guodong and his wife.

Though this couple faces no threats on Blue Star, she continues steadfastly.

Zhang Yan clearly understands she’s doing for Lin Yi what he cannot, willing to sacrifice everything, including her own future.

This somewhat disheartened manner didn’t escape Xu Sheng’s notice.

He has advised Xiyue many times, telling her that Blue Star’s future requires her protection, that Blue Star is Lin Yi’s labor of love, urging her not to slacken, not to let it all go to waste.

Yet, this female War God is undeniably love-struck, and aside from news about Lin Yi, she shuts out everything else.

Over time, Xu Sheng ceased his attempts, letting Xiyue do as she wished.

"Uh, Lady Xiyue, Lord Lin Yi will surely be alright. He must be engaged in some remarkable endeavor, and next time we meet, he will surely stand at the universe’s pinnacle."

Lin Yi’s long absence without contact, only offering sporadic simple updates, hasn’t led him back to Blue Star.

Sometimes, even Lin Guodong and his wife wonder if Xu Sheng fabricated tales of Lin Yi still sending messages to comfort them.

Whether it’s Lin Yi’s parents or the female War God Xiyue, their special statuses require everyone to consider their relationship with Lin Yi, forbidding anyone from mentioning his name before them.

Especially not in front of Lin Guodong and his wife.

So many years passed, and hearing someone mention their son, Lin Guodong and his wife were visibly stunned.

How could they have anticipated that their warmly hosted young guest would touch upon such sensitive subjects?

Just as Lin Guodong and his wife intended to show the young man Zhang Yan out, his words suddenly resolved their longstanding emotional barrier.

"Lord Lin Yi will never be defeated."

Saying this, Zhang Yan bowed deeply, remaining in this position.

Memories sprang forth, intertwining within Xiyue’s mind.

The days fighting alongside Lin Yi played out like slides within Xiyue’s thoughts, flashing repeatedly.

The beginnings at Antebellum Canyon; back then, Lin Yi’s powers were limited and his level inferior to hers, yet he claimed victory over the arrogant Ghostly Broo on her behalf, returning the canyon to its former daylight, freeing her followers of centuries from their secluded curse.
