"So far, sixty-six experts in the level of Yuanying and demon emperors, including Jiang Hailiu, Speaker of the Federation, and Li Yao, the hero of the Special Federation, have all arrived at the conference center of the New Federation. Through the space communication array, the other dozens of super experts in the Blood Demon Sector and the Flying Star Sector have been connected, too. The grand meeting where more than a hundred Yuanying and demon emperors have been gathered, which has never been held in the history of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Flying Star Sector, is about to begin!"
The host on the light beam could not hide his excitement. He was almost weeping in joy as he said, his voice shivering, "Please don't go away. We will continue to report the grand meeting where the wisdom, strength, courage, belief, and even imagination of the three Sectors are gathered!"
For Ice Butterfly, who was hovering deep inside the light beam, the excitement of the large mammal in filament products on the picture was meaningless.
She sensed that the temperature around was getting lower and lower, and the energy inside her body was being consumed faster and faster. The cold rain was hitting her wings hard, making her stagger again and again.
In this colorful yet illusory curtain of light, it found neither food nor shelter from the cold wind and freezing rain.
The tipping point of death was soon broken. The remaining energy inside her body was not enough for her to find food and shelter. She was destined to fall slowly like a brilliant dry leaf in the cold rain after struggling for a moment.
Even so, Ice Butterfly was neither scared nor disappointed. The shabby neural network that the creator had endowed her with was not capable of generating such high-level emotions.
Driven by the instincts deep inside her genes, she was simply trying to exploit the last bit of energy and flapping her wings, flying to the flowers that she was destined to never find.
Suddenly —
At the last breath of her life, Ice Butterfly's wings trembled, and she was enshrouded by a strength as warm as a spring breeze. She slowly descended and stopped on a metal finger.
Although it was made of metal, it was not cold. Instead, it was brimming with vitality like a branch in spring when flowers were blooming.
Spiritual energy crawled into her body carefully, filling her body that was on the verge of exhaustion with hope again!
The Ice Butterfly flapped its wings joyfully as it sensed the new power.
At the end of the metal finger was a metal arm. At the end of the metal arm was a metal shell that was embedded with crystals and carved with spiritual stripes, making it look as splendid as a work of art. Inside the metal skull above the shell, more than thirty-seven thousand bionic muscle fibers that were as thin as cicada's wings were twisting at the same time, putting on a vivid smile and laughter that sounded like silver bells.
With a light flick of the metallic finger, the Ice Butterfly, who had recovered her vitality, once again spread out her translucent wings and flew into the sky.
Now it was getting a little familiar with this dizzying new world.
Although it didn't know where the flower cluster was, it believed that the flower cluster must exist and it would definitely find it!
Before flying far away, Ice Butterfly turned around and circled around the existence that had helped it before, memorizing the features of the existence.
It was an existence that was similar to a large mammal, but different from the body of flesh and blood of human beings, it was made of bright green metal. The high breasts and the slim waist suggested that she was a female human being, and the metal wings folded on her back suggested that she had a soul that belonged to the sky.
Ice Butterfly wrote all the features into the deepest part of its genetic chain.
It was not out of gratitude but because of experience. It knew that the existence was a 'good' one, and it might be able to prolong its life at a critical moment.
"Go now, little guy."
Ice Butterfly sensed the regular vibrations in the air. Although it did not understand the meaning of the words, it sensed a warm spring breeze again.
In the spring breeze, it flew higher and higher toward the depths of the Grand Desolate City, looking for flowers and companions so that it could prolong its life and everything that it had sensed just now.
Wei Qingqing watched Ice Butterfly dance and fly further and further away. Her smile was more and more brilliant. Her crystal eyes were glittering with hope.
Li Yao, on the other hand, looked at her with mixed feelings.
The helpless village teacher from the Sky Fantasia Academy, one of the Nine Elite Universities of the Federation, was indeed one of the most important guides for Li Yao to embark on the path of Cultivation.
To some extent, she was even more important than his senior brother 'Fiend Blade Peng Hai' and his refiner 'Ding Yin'.
Years ago, on the crystal train north to the Grand Desolate Plateau, Li Yao, who was still an ordinary person, was caught in a beast tide outbreak together with all the other passengers and was caught in desperation.
In the end, seven Cultivators stood up and sacrificed themselves to save everyone, including Wei Qingqing.
Cultivators such as' Ding Yin 'had at least a certain amount of experience in fighting, and their combat ability was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Wei Qingqing, on the other hand, was a pure culture-type Cultivator. She had just graduated from college and was only in the middle level of the Refinement Stage. Faced with an ocean-like beast tide, she was no different from an ordinary person.
If she had wanted to retreat, she had ten thousand reasons to do so. Even without her, it was possible that the other six Cultivators could have resisted the beast tide and bought enough time.
But she didn't hesitate at all. She stood up without hesitation and used her not-so-strong arms to forcibly resist the impact of the beast tide. Her life, which was like an orchid in an empty valley, withered early on in the Great Wasteland!
The scene was deeply etched in Li Yao's soul and provided infinite motivation for him to awaken his spiritual root and become a Cultivator the next day.
"I'm going to be a Cultivator like Ding Yin and Wei Qingqing, too!"
That was Li Yao's belief in the beginning.
Once a belief was formed, it could not be changed easily. Therefore, of all his family and friends in the Tian Yuan Realm, Wei Qingqing, the unique 'little blue bird', was the one that Li Yao valued most.
In the words of the ancient Cultivators, there was an extremely important 'opportunity' between two people. It was not love, but a purer feeling that was beyond love.
After she turned into a spectral Cultivator, Wei Qingqing had been teaching the teenagers who died prematurely in the 'College of Spectral Cultivators' for more than ten years. Right now, she was already a famous educator among the spectral Cultivators in the Federation. Even the trickiest ghosts would be docile and obedient in her hands.
But today, she showed up in front of Li Yao with an 'interview permit'. Li Yao was overjoyed.
"Sister Qingqing, why did you change your profession and become a reporter?"
Li Yao asked with a smile.
The Yuanying Conference would discuss how to resist the Imperium and the Holy League. It might even decide the development path of the Federation in the next hundred years.
Although they were participating in the meeting as private individuals and were not legally bound, it was not hard to imagine that the decisions of more than a hundred Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and demon emperors would have a major influence on the three Sectors in any case.
Therefore, the grand conference was even more eye-catching than the two trials of the century.
After all, the two trials represented the past, while the Yuanying Conference was a harbinger of the future!
It was precisely because of this that the examination for the entry of reporters was especially strict. The organizers had only issued less than a hundred interview permits. Only the most authoritative and trustworthy media outlets of the Three Realms, as well as the most famous journalists, were allowed to enter for an interview.
Wei Qingqing was not a professional journalist, and yet she had managed to get an interview permit. She was truly remarkable!
Wei Qingqing grimaced and said with a smile, "There are two reasons. Firstly, the Sky Fantasia Academy is one of the best schools for culture-type Cultivators in the Federation in the first place. Most of the top journalists in the Federation are my schoolmates. Also, you know that I'm quite good at writing, too!"
Li Yao nodded. Wei Qingqing was a very good novelist. He had even visited the world of Wei Qingqing's novels before!
Wei Qingqing continued, "It's probably because of this that my schoolmates feel that in this meeting that concerns the future of the Three Realms for the next hundred years or even a thousand years, having a non-professional like me write some simple words from the perspective of an ordinary person will be more touching than a cold interview script. It will let the ordinary people understand what we are about to face, right?"
While talking, she chuckled. "However, that is just an insignificant reason. The more important reason is you!"
Li Yao blinked and pointed at his own nose. "Me?"
"Exactly!"
Wei Qingqing grinned and said, "It's because I'm in a special relationship with you, and I'm most likely to get an interview with the hero of the Special Federation. That's why I got the interview permit! I've boasted in front of the big journalists that I'll get an interview with you for at least an hour. Don't run away by then! "
"No problem!"
Li Yao replied quickly. "If Sister Qingqing asks, three hours is fine. I just don't know what to say. Anyway, you ask, and I answer!"
The two of them laughed. Wei Qingqing's eyes were sharp. She noticed a short old man with a red face walking toward them. Her eyes shined, and she hurried to greet him. Then, she introduced him to Li Yao. "Ah Yao, let me introduce you to Zhou Yifu, one of my professors in the university and one of the best historians in the Federation!"
"Fellow Cultivator Zhou!"
"Fellow Cultivator Li!"
The two of them were both Yuanying. However, Li Yao was still young, and the guy was at least in the generation of his great-grandfather. Naturally, he greeted him first.
Professor Zhou, on the other hand, was rather elegant. He returned the greeting politely. When he bowed, there was naturally the air of a transcendent being.
The two Yuanying were meeting each other for the first time. It was not that they were being courteous. There were no more than two hundred Yuanying and demon emperors in the three Sectors in total. Every Yuanying was a big shot in whatever field they were in. Li Yao should've heard a thing or two about them even if he hadn't met them before.
Li Yao immediately knew that Professor Zhou Yifu was definitely a master in the field of history studies. His main research field was the last years of the Star Ocean Imperium, including the Grand Expedition, the betrayal of the Blood God, the Armageddon Rebellion, and the collapse of the Imperium. He had written many works such as' Destruction of the Imperium 'and' End of the Civilization of Mankind '.
