99: Chapter 99 Human Alliance

"Sister Xuefei, is that news true?"

After getting acquainted, the lively and active younger sister, Lan Ruoxi, blinked her big eyes and asked in a soft, endearing voice.

The few people nearby, upon hearing her voice, felt goosebumps erupt all over their bodies. They had experienced this tone and demeanor before.

This was Lan Ruoxi acting cute to soften people's hearts, a tactic that always allowed her to easily get others to fulfill some of her requests.

Especially her older sister, Lan Ruolin, who, faced with this move, could never refuse her younger sister's demands and always succumbed to this offensive.

Fang Yuan, Gu Yue, and Fang Ling, among others, would always agree to Lan Ruoxi's requests and answer her questions, as long as they weren't major issues.

"It's true."

Sure enough, without even waiting a moment, Li Xuefei succumbed to Lan Ruoxi's cute offensive. She reached out a hand and gently stroked the Little Girl's smooth hair, then answered the question everyone wanted to know.

As she answered, her expression seemed a bit dazed, as if she was shocked by the matter.

Upon hearing that the widely circulated news was true, everyone's expressions varied, each displaying a different state of mind.

"The people who came to Sea City this time are from Tianlan Star's original largest city of technology and future — Sky City..."

Li Xuefei didn't let them ask any more questions; she immediately told them where the humans who had come to Sea City were from.

As a Young Miss with a special identity, she knew all the details of this event.

Under her explanation, everyone sat quietly, listening to her without moving.

She explained in great detail, even recounting the initial intelligence about Sky City, hailed as the City of the Future.

Sky City, the City of the Future, was the central hub of Tianlan Star's highest technology, with a population of over fifty million before the disaster struck.

After the disaster, Sky City's population rapidly dwindled to under ten million in a short period, with a mortality rate exceeding four-fifths.

This proportion was even lower than Sea City's casualties. The reason for this outcome was that Sky City possessed Tianlan Star's most elite army and most advanced thermal weapons.

With the help of the army and thermal weapons, Sky City quickly established a fortress wall under the cataclysm, protecting the entire city.

In the following decades, with the aid of various powerful thermal weapons, Sky City developed rapidly, and countless powerhouses emerged.

To this day, Sky City already has a population of thirty million, as well as countless powerful True Spirit Professionals.

Even more than ten Professionals beyond the Legendary Rank have been born.

"It is said that after the Legendary Rank, one is called an Epic War God, possessing unparalleled power..."

Li Xuefei grew more and more excited as she spoke, especially when describing the Realm beyond Legendary. She spoke with immense detail.

The Epic Rank controls the power of a Domain and is given the title of War God, signifying the power of a War God.

"You should also know that there have been some changes in the north these past few days. In fact, that was the astonishing feat accomplished by Sky City..."

All sorts of exaggerated news came one after another, leaving Fang Yuan and the others speechless.

It turned out that the source of everything, including the fiends Fang Yuan encountered in the east earlier, could be traced back to Sky City.

The Land of Evil's void Realm had been conquered by Sky City. It was said that nearly ten Epic Rank Monsters of the Epic War God level were killed. Li Xuefei was not certain about this news when she mentioned it.

However, the people from Sky City claimed they used Tianlan Star's most powerful nuclear bomb to heavily injure multiple Epic Rank Monsters, and then Epic War Gods stepped in to kill them.

Returning to the starting point, Sky City, representing the collective effort of all humanity, had begun operations more than ten years ago to search for humans in other places.

Through repeated efforts, Sky City had already found many other cities separated by the void Realms, and Sea City was the thirteenth.

After many years of development, the concept of a Human Alliance centered on Sky City on Tianlan Star was proposed. More than ten cities have become the few remaining and discovered human cities today.

More than thirteen cities were found; in fact, many more cities were discovered, but those cities had already been destroyed, and all their human inhabitants had perished.

"Sky City sent people this time to invite my grandfather and the others to join the Human Alliance to resist the assimilation of the void Realms."

Li Xuefei continued to drop a bombshell: Sea City had already become a city under the Human Alliance.

Facing the invitation from the behemoth that was Sky City, Li Changtian did not refuse. Without much thought, he agreed to join the Human Alliance.

His reason for agreeing was simple: among the people who came this time, there was one whose strength was not inferior to his own, and among the remaining people, there were also two Legendary Professionals.

With such power, Li Changtian had no possibility of refusing. Given the absolute disparity, agreeing to join directly could also leave a good impression on the other party.

Thus, without the knowledge of Sea City's residents, they became a member of the Human Alliance.

"...!"

After hearing everything, everyone in the room fell into absolute silence. Only Li Xuefei remained, watching their reactions from the side.

Their exaggerated expressions reminded her of her own equally shocked expression not long ago; the events of this day had truly astonished her.

"Oh, right, tomorrow the Human Alliance will bring awakening stones, which can allow people to Awaken their Talent at the age of twelve. This is good news for you three."

While the others were immersed in shock and unable to extricate themselves, Li Xuefei dropped another piece of news that shocked and frightened the three girls: Lan Ruolin, Lan Ruoxi, and Fang Ling.

At this point, Li Xuefei felt a touch of regret. She only began Awakening her Talent at sixteen, whereas those who had already joined the Human Alliance could Awaken their Talent at twelve through the awakening stone.

There was a four-year time difference. In four years, Li Xuefei was confident she could reach the Silver Rank and be close to Breaking Through to the Gold Rank.

Four years meant that she already had such a significant gap with the Geniuses of the Human Alliance. Perhaps people her age were already close to Breaking Through to the Gold Rank.

"There's such a good thing?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan also felt a hint of regret. Not just him, but everyone present who had already Awakened their True Spirit Talent felt regretful. No one wouldn't want to Awaken their Talent sooner.

As for why one could Awaken their Talent four years early, Li Xuefei had asked that Legendary Professional from the Human Alliance about this question.

True Spirit Talent originates from everyone's Soul and is present from birth; it's just easiest to Awaken after the age of sixteen.

Before that, if there was a special stimulating energy, humans could Awaken their True Spirit Talent early, and the special item was the awakening stone.

After deductions by several Epic War Gods, it was determined that at the age of twelve, a person could Awaken their Talent without any side effects.

"Really? That's great!"

Fang Ling, who was very much looking forward to Awakening, learned that she wouldn't have to wait another two years. The Little Girl, having recovered from her shock, jumped up and down.

While excited, she also felt some worry, fearing that her Awakened Talent wouldn't be good.
