"Esteemed guests, since Elder Long has agreed to help us,"
"I shall return now. We will prepare our congratulatory gifts and then journey to Mount Taibai together."
One of the national leaders finished speaking and quickly contacted their own people.
The others nodded in agreement and similarly began contacting their countries for pickup.
Fortunately, their mobile phones had been specially modified and were not damaged by seawater.
Otherwise, dealing with matters on this small island surrounded by the sea would have been quite troublesome.
"I'll go with you!"
When the rescue helicopter from Gaul arrived and Gao Xiong boarded, the leader of Lighthouse Nation suddenly spoke.
This made Gao Xiong pause, then he beckoned her over.
As she sat in the helicopter with him, the rotor blades slowly lifted into the sky.
A moment later.
Rescue teams from various countries arrived one after another, and the leaders of each nation departed rapidly in their rescue helicopters.
In an instant, the small island returned to its former quiet splendor.
"Mr. Gao, are we just going to let this matter go?"
On the Gaul rescue helicopter, the leader of Lighthouse Nation couldn't help but ask.
"What else can we do?"
Gao Xiong's words and expression were calm, but his hands, which were rapidly scrolling through videos, revealed his inner frustration.
"Are you still daring to cause trouble for Ao Yuan?" His calm tone became unpleasant when he said this.
"That's true," the leader of Lighthouse Nation said with an awkward laugh.
"But will we live under Ao Yuan's shadow from now on?"
As she spoke, the leader of Lighthouse Nation picked up her phone and quickly tapped open a post.
This post was none other than the news of the joint forces of various nations being defeated by Ao Yuan.
She then scrolled to the comment section.
At first, people from various countries were still questioning, thinking it was just a rumor.
But as the matter gained more traction, becoming known to everyone worldwide, regardless of age or gender.
And with the countries not issuing any clarifications, the doubtful comments decreased significantly.
It was clear that most people understood what a lack of clarification implied.
Correspondingly, many netizens tagged the official accounts of various countries. Seeing that no one was responding,
Great demons were making loud claims, while the people of various countries remained silent, as if tacitly accepting the matter.
Seeing this post, Gao Xiong's expression changed several times.
From this, he could already foresee a future where Ao Yuan would dominate the Blue Star.
And the leaders of once powerful nations would have to bow half a head to others.
This sense of disparity made him not only frustrated but also very displeased.
But…
Upon thinking of Ao Yuan's power, Gao Xiong let out a sigh.
Although it was indeed very unpleasant to have to look down every time he saw Ao Yuan from now on,
Compared to his own life and limb, it seemed insignificant.
"Don't mention this matter again," Gao Xiong said in a low voice, then quickly closed his eyes.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Alright."
The leader of Lighthouse Nation smiled and shrugged, saying nothing more.
Because she noticed the fierce glint hidden deep within Gao Xiong's eyes at the moment he closed them.
Clearly,
This matter was not over for him.
Nor would he be content to live under Ao Yuan.
However, given the current circumstances, he had to adapt!
But the leader of Lighthouse Nation believed that as soon as an opportunity arose, Gao Xiong would definitely retaliate.
Just like the leader of the United States now.
If there's no opportunity, he'll remain dormant. If there is an opportunity, he'll retaliate immediately!
...
Meanwhile.
Ao Yuan returned to Atlantis.
As soon as he entered, he saw Bai Ling still engrossed in her studies.
"How's it going?" Ao Yuan asked with a smile as he walked in.
"What's all the noise, can't you see I'm..."
"Ah... Dragon God!"
Bai Ling turned her head, saw Ao Yuan, and immediately became much more reserved.
Then she carefully replied, "I feel that these things are very mysterious. It will take some time to understand them all."
Ao Yuan nodded gently, not expecting Bai Ling to have figured everything out in such a short time.
"Then what kind of formations can you set up now?"
"Simple formations, as long as I have the materials, I can do them!" Speaking of this, Bai Ling straightened her back, her face full of confidence.
"Can you set up a teleportation formation?" Ao Yuan inquired.
"Teleportation formation." Bai Ling's face immediately became troubled.
Seeing her expression, Ao Yuan understood that she probably hadn't fully grasped the teleportation formation yet.
This was understandable, as teleportation formations were different from simple formations.
The difficulty of setting one up was not comparable to simple formations.
Ao Yuan asked this casually and didn't expect her to be able to set it up.
"You're not there yet, but keep practicing, and you'll eventually succeed," Ao Yuan said with a smile.
"I can set up teleportation formations!"
Hearing this, Bai Ling puffed up her chest and declared.
"Oh? You can?" Ao Yuan looked at her with a hint of a smile.
"I..."
Bai Ling's newfound confidence deflated, but she still defended herself, "I really can, it's just that the teleportation formations I set up now are not perfect, and the transmission distance is not far."
"How far is that?"
"About..." Bai Ling gestured with her claws, "Around ten thousand meters."
By the end of her statement, Bai Ling's voice had become much smaller.
Ten thousand meters was a distance that Ao Yuan, and even other demonic beasts, could easily traverse.
She had read that most teleportation formations in the books could transmit from one planet to another.
By those standards, she truly couldn't be considered proficient.
Recalling the descriptions of teleportation formations in the books, Bai Ling lowered her head.
She thought Ao Yuan would surely scold her later.
After all, a teleportation formation that could only transmit ten thousand meters hardly deserved to be called a teleportation formation.
Unexpectedly.
Ao Yuan did not scold her. Instead, he looked at her with a surprised expression and said, "You can connect across ten thousand meters?"
"Yes... yes?" Bai Ling was still a bit confused by Ao Yuan's attitude and replied dazedly.
Ao Yuan asked again, "What resources do you need?"
"Probably just the basic materials for setting up a teleportation formation," Bai Ling said.
"Alright! I'll get the basic materials for you!" Ao Yuan said. "Bai Ling!"
"Ah?"
"One week. Once the materials are here, can you finish it within a week?"
"No, no, no!" Bai Ling waved her claws. "It won't take that long."
She extended three claws and said, "I only need three days!"
"Okay!"
Ao Yuan glanced at Bai Ling in surprise, then said nothing more.
"Then you continue your studies here."
With that, Ao Yuan vanished and left Atlantis.
"Dai Dai!"
When Ao Yuan arrived at Mount Taibai, Dai Xiaomei, who was busy with something, immediately called out.
"I've told Elder Long about the news you mentioned,"
Walking up to Ao Yuan, Dai Xiaomei said with a smile.
Ao Yuan nodded and was about to say something when his phone rang.
He raised his hand to look. As they say, speak of the devil.
It was Elder Long calling.
