"You shouldn’t wait until I’ve figured out how to connect you to the Star Veins, only to realize your Star Power is still the same as it is now."
"Lu Lin, rest assured. I’m usually very tight-lipped and won’t tell anyone."
"Same here."
They both looked serious.
What Lu Lin had done for them today was no small matter.
For a thousand years, they had never heard of anyone who could guide ordinary people in Star Skills.
Yet now, Lu Lin had done it for them without any reservations.
This not only helped them comprehend Star Skills but also revealed his biggest secret to them.
"Alright, just be as careful as you can. My ability will also increase rapidly after I go to the Alien Planet. If you encounter danger and someone forces you, just tell them. Don’t get yourselves killed trying to hide such a minor secret."
Lu Lin wasn’t too concerned about this.
Besides, some people could already help ordinary individuals awaken. What he had done was merely guiding these two to comprehend Star Skills.
If someone noticed and came looking for him, he could just attribute it to the special nature of his Star Power Domain.
If you have the guts, come into my domain and experience it yourselves.
Although this was a secret, it was insignificant compared to his ability to help exotic beasts achieve Promotion.
「Green City Governor’s Mansion.」
Governor Bai Jingwei requested a quiet room and connected with the governors and military leaders of the other Eight Major Planets.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that’s all I have to say regarding Lu Lin."
"Currently, our Human Federation can barely protect itself in the Exotic Battlefield. If we can utilize Lu Lin’s ability, we can unite with more Exotic Beast Clans, help the descendants of the King of Exotic Beast level up, and join forces to fight against the Alien Race."
"Now, according to information from the Exotic Beast Investigation Department, we can choose to ally with the mammoths, the Black-striped Pythons, the Five Pearl Copper Coin Cheetahs... and other such clans."
"That concludes my statement."
After Bai Jingwei finished speaking, he stood up and bowed.
Cen Xian, who was beside him, then stood up to add, "Ladies and gentlemen, in the thousand years since the federation entered the Exotic Battlefield, we have only managed to cultivate Eight Titled Kings. Their combined ability is less than that of even a single Exotic Beast Clan."
"The situation is now severe. If we continue with the same cautious approach we’ve used for the past thousand years, we might miss a golden opportunity."
"In my opinion, our Human Race has already established Eight Great Cities in the Exotic Battlefield. We can try some aggressive tactics to extend our reach and make the Human Race’s reputation echo throughout the Exotic Battlefield."
"As the saying goes, it’s better to be feared than loved."
"It’s precisely our good temper over the past thousand years that has made the Alien Race think we’re easy to bully."
"All of you are elites of the Human Race; you can certainly see the consequences of appeasement and retreat more clearly."
"My suggestion is the same as Governor Bai’s: employ Lu Lin, forge alliances with at least three to five Exotic Beast Clans, and focus all our efforts on fighting the Alien Race."
At this moment, Cen Xian was completely different from his calm demeanor in the dense forest earlier today. His hair and beard seemed to bristle, and his aura was imposing.
The governors and military leaders from the other Eight Major Planets couldn’t help but smile wryly upon seeing Cen Xian in such a state.
This old man had lived for several hundreds of years; even if they disagreed with his suggestion, they had to prepare to dissuade him with a sufficiently calm tone.
"By the way, Blue Star Governor, has the suspected Alien Race infiltrator been caught?"
"He’s been caught."
The Blue Star Governor wore a peculiar expression.
"However, we’ve tested him in many ways, and Hou Jin is indeed a pure human."
"Blood test, Star Power detection, memory detection, emotion detection..."
"We’ve used at least fifty methods, but he consistently maintains he is human, without a single flaw."
"Is that so?"
Bai Jingwei frowned. It was his first time dealing with an Alien Race infiltrator, and he didn’t have many countermeasures.
However, he believed that the more flawlessly Hou Jin passed the tests, the more suspicious he actually was.
"Blue Star Governor, please continue your observation."
"Since the Alien Race was able to dispatch Hou Jin into the Human Federation, they must possess methods beyond our imagination. Be extremely cautious and do not let your guard down easily."
"Thank you for the reminder."
