Ye Zhongming put down the papers in his hand and frowned slightly at the nightfall outside the window.
Miya came over for a glance, gently massaging her man's shoulders.
Because Liang Chuyin would be going to the heavens on the next guiding sun and needed to enhance her body, it had mostly been Miya and Xia Lei accompanying Ye Zhongming lately.
"Any good news?"
Ye Zhongming was finally back on Earth for a few days, and he didn't know when the next meeting would be. Miya and Xia Lei's thoughts were very clear… it would be best to leave behind a child.
This was also a very important matter for the entire Cloud Summit.
After Ye Zhongming's departure, Cloud Summit needed stability. Xia Lei's methods and prestige were one aspect, but having a legitimate successor and a clear target of loyalty was necessary for the ruling of Cloud Summit.
So, the past few nights, Miya and Xia Lei had been putting in a lot of effort, and even Liang Chuyin would occasionally join in when she had free time; more people meant a higher chance.
However, during such times, no one wanted the others to feel bad, so seeing Ye Zhongming like this, Miya did her best to comfort him.
Ye Zhongming smiled apologetically and patted Miya's hand, saying, "It was just a matter of chance. Now it seems luck isn't that great, so although I'm disappointed, it's only disappointment."
Miya leaned down, wrapping her arms around the man's neck, pressing her face against his, and together they looked at the contents of the papers, saying, "No news from the national region, nothing from the Land of the Extreme North, nothing from Southeast Asia, nothing from the Middle East... then could they be in America or Europe, or even Africa?"
These papers recorded the results of the avoidance regarding other elemental spirits and the Heavenly King Crown, all seemingly confirmed answers that were ultimately denied.
Ye Zhongming sighed slightly and said, "I'm not sure. Currently, the reach of avoidance isn't that long. Even if there's a prepared infiltration, differences in appearance, language, habits, etc., will make it difficult for them to move, so we can only wait until our Cloud Summit's influence extends there to investigate further."
This was the barrier caused by racial differences. Avoidance could infiltrate Asia, but entering regions populated by non-yellow races would face natural barriers due to physical differences.
"However, even if we find information, it's likely that these things have long been claimed by others, so it doesn't hold much significance."
Although Ye Zhongming said this, he truly felt regret inside.
He hadn't used the Star Spirit and Earth Spirit much in the heavens, letting them accumulate energy for upgrades quietly, after all, they could give him a second life.
He also hadn't used the Sea King Crown much due to its attributes, while he relied heavily on the Mountain King Crown, to the extent that one-third of his current strength came from this Dominion Equipment.
If he could obtain the Heavenly King Crown and complete the set, perhaps he would gain additional abilities.
However, these were temporarily unattainable.
Fortunately, these weren't absolutely necessary. In the All Races of the Universe, personal strength was the foundation of everything. Just like Ye Zhongming now, if he faced a newly evolved nine-star evolver equipped with all elemental spirits and a full set of Dominion Equipment, he could crush that person countless times without bringing anything with him.
"Still awake? Looks like I came back just in time!" Xia Lei entered with a mysterious smile, saying, "It's getting late; let’s get down to business."
Thus, the night in Cloud Summit descended.
………………
In the morning, the sun was bright, and Ye Zhongming, slightly tired, was having breakfast while Xia Lei and Miya chatted spiritedly.
The King of Cloud Summit had to ponder whether he had suppressed his physical attributes too low.
"Boss."
Xiao Min knocked on the door and entered after receiving permission.
