The ripples dispersed.
As Si Xing stepped out of the Astral Gate with Li Pin, he was startled by the scene before him.
Two Tier Four Legends, along with hundreds of Tier Three Legends, densely filled his vision. Further back, an even larger group of Tier One and Two Legends had been assembled, their numbers reaching thousands.
It seemed as though the entire White Dove Federation had mobilized its forces, forming an imposing military array outside the Astral Gate, resembling an army ready for war.
The scene sent a chill running down Si Xing's spine.
The Homo Sapien Alliance closely monitored events and prohibited wars between civilizations before the successor of the Astral God Yin Luo was chosen. With the White Dove Federation mobilizing such a massive force, it almost seemed they were on the brink of war.
Si Xing thought, Is this a direct challenge to the authority of the Homo Sapien Alliance?
Just as Si Xing considered turning back and pretending he had seen nothing, two Tier Four Legends and several Tier Three Legends stepped forward, clasping their hands to Li Pin.
Lan Chi was the first to speak. "Councilor Li, you've arrived."
He spoke with righteous indignation. "The Ashen Council has abused its power, imposing sanctions and suppression against Gaia civilization on all fronts—economy, transportation, military, and influence.
"These actions blatantly violate the rules set by the Homo Sapien Alliance to promote mutual support and fair competition during the Astral God succession.
