Chapter 671: Condition
"The Astral Gate is open. Let's move," Yuan Xinghai said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Once we pass through, we'll officially enter Gaia Civilization's territory."
Defeating Gaia Civilization's challenger would mean no other force could stand against the Aristocratic Alliance.
"I'm eager to see our young talents in action," Shang Tiange remarked with a smile. "As long as they don't encounter... well, let's just say they're among the finest. Compared to the geniuses cultivated by our various clans, they're undoubtedly at the top."
The others nodded in agreement and began moving toward the now-stable Astral Gate.
As they approached, Ji Wanfa shot a glance at Si Xing, who was still shadowing them, keeping a watchful eye. He frowned and let out a cold snort. "Hmph."
Despite their irritation, they knew better than to act out. Yan Qing, the new leader of the Homo Sapien Alliance, had made it clear that reckless behavior in the Yin Luo Galaxy would not be tolerated. His authority was not something they dared challenge.
Suppressing their frustration, they ignored Si Xing as if he weren't there and stepped through the Astral Gate.

Watching the members of the Aristocratic Alliance vanish into the Astral Gate, Si Xing felt his heart sink. A deep sense of helplessness filled his gaze. "This is bad."
Without delay, he relayed the situation to his superiors.
On the other end of the communication were Yu Jianglong, the patriarch of the Yu Clan, and Si Huan, the patriarch of the Si Clan. Additionally, Lin Yu of the Lin Clan appeared as a virtual projection in the conference room.
Both the Yu and Si Clans had staked their futures on the Gaia Civilization—or more precisely, on Li Pin. Their reasoning was clear: the Yu and Si Clans had already reached the zenith of what an aristocratic clan could achieve. Any further growth would merely result in producing more Astral Gods to bolster their foundations.
