Although Chu Yue Li had long anticipated Qin Chen's strength, she was still stunned after witnessing what he accomplished in the Wasteland of All Gods.
This... Is this something that Lord Qin Chen, back in Southern Origin City, could have done?
How deep had he hidden his capabilities?
At least Chu Yue Li didn't believe that Qin Chen had made such a breakthrough in such a short period; he must have concealed himself deeply even back in Southern Origin City.
"This guy, he actually hid so well? Sigh, what a huge loss."
Frustration, regret, and unwillingness filled Chu Yue Li's face, and she looked extremely troubled.
Although she was the first to invest in Qin Chen in Southern Origin City, and considered herself an early supporter, she had always thought she had a good eye for talent. However, looking back now, she felt nothing but regret.
If she had known Lord Qin Chen was this powerful, why invest at all? Hundreds of millions of Emperor Crystals were nothing; she could have directly offered herself. Even if she couldn't become the main wife, being a concubine wouldn't be bad at all.
Now, if she wanted to get close again, it was probably too late.
Chu Yue Li was immensely frustrated.
Boom!
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a terrifying aura suddenly descended upon her, enveloping her instantly. Before she could react, she had vanished from her room, finding herself in a vast and magnificent realm.
In this realm, there were grand seats, and on these seats sat extraordinary experts, each exuding an extraordinary aura, resembling deities as they gazed down at Chu Yue Li.
"Father, esteemed uncles, and elders..."
Seeing the group, Chu Yue Li hurriedly bowed.
This group of people were the leaders of the countless branches of the Eternal Pavilion in the cosmic sea. Although they were not divine emperor level experts, each of these strong individuals was backed by numerous shops and businesses, along with many peak great emperors.
Even though Chu Yue Li had also broken through to the late-stage great emperor realm with Qin Chen's help, in terms of status, she could still only be considered a junior in the Eternal Pavilion. Naturally, she had to pay her respects when meeting such powerful figures.
However, as soon as she bowed, the group of previously seated figures surprisingly stood up and moved aside.
"Haha, niece Yue Li, no need for such courtesy."
"Niece Yue Li, I'm your thirteenth uncle. I used to carry you when you were little; I can't believe you've grown so much."
"I heard niece Yue Li was just the Pavilion Master of the Eternal Pavilion in Southern Origin City. Brother Ri Yuan, you are also one of the giants of our Eternal Pavilion. With niece Yue Li’s status and strength, overseeing even half of the Southern Cosmic Sea's Eternal Pavilion would be an understatement."
Warm voices filled the air, filled with kindness and gentleness, leaving Chu Yue Li completely bewildered.
These uncles and elders were usually decisive and authoritative figures in the Eternal Pavilion; when had they become so easy to talk to?
Just as Chu Yue Li was puzzled and about to speak, suddenly...
Buzz!
An invisible force descended.
This force made everyone, including Chu Yue Li, feel as if they were in an expansive starry sky, instantly rendering them incredibly small.
"That is..."
Chu Yue Li looked up and saw an illusory shadow descending from the Endless Firmament, towering and high above, mastering the entire world.
"Salute to the ancestor."
The previously domineering giants of the Eternal Pavilion all lowered their heads, kneeling and bowing, showing utmost respect.
The person before them was none other than the ancestor of the Eternal Pavilion, the one who had wielded authority in the Eternal Pavilion for countless years, renowned throughout the entire cosmic sea, far beyond what the ancestor of the Black Dragon Society could compare to.
The ancestor of the Eternal Pavilion rarely appeared, but whenever they did, it was for significant matters.
