After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Bai Feng surveyed his surroundings and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, the Guardian Divine Beast, did you... do all this?"
"Indeed."
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng's body noticeably stiffened, and his expression revealed shock.
He had already known the situation here through satellite imagery.
Yet, seeing it with his own eyes was still incredibly impactful.
And hearing Ao Yuanqing admit it directly, this impact was even more profound.
Waves of overwhelming shock surged within his heart.
After a long silence, Bai Feng managed to somewhat suppress the turmoil in his mind.
"Minister Bai, all the supplies have been unloaded," a soldier said, walking up to Bai Feng and bowing.
He nodded gently, then swept another glance over the drastically transformed Mount Taibai.
He then addressed Ao Yuan, "Your Majesty, the Guardian Divine Beast, since the matter here is resolved, I shall take my leave."
"Alright," Ao Yuan nodded.
Bai Feng turned to leave. Just as he was about to board the helicopter, he suddenly stopped.
He turned back to Ao Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, the Guardian Divine Beast, the leaders of various nations wish for Elder Long to lead them to Mount Taibai to offer their apologies to you. When would be a suitable time?"
Ao Yuan pondered for a moment and directly replied, "In two days!"
"Understood!"
With that said, Bai Feng turned and boarded the helicopter.
Behind him, the Da Xia soldiers bowed respectfully to Ao Yuan and then orderly boarded the helicopters.
Whirr, whirr, whirr!
The sound of propellers roaring filled the air, and Bai Feng and his entourage slowly departed.
"How are these items?" After Bai Feng had left, Ao Yuan looked at the large boxes that had been unloaded and asked Dai Xiaomei.
"Very good!" Dai Xiaomei replied with satisfaction. "I've inspected them just now. These items all contain spiritual energy, and the amount of spiritual energy contained within each is quite high."
Hearing this, Ao Yuan nodded slightly. "Take a look at this. Do you still need any revisions?"
"If you think it needs changes, feel free to make them,"
"If there are no issues, then you can proceed with the implementation."
As he finished speaking, several sheets of paper flew from Ao Yuan's hand and landed in Dai Xiaomei and Mozi's grasp.
"You two carry on,"
With a final word, Ao Yuan vanished, along with the large batch of items containing spiritual energy that had just been unloaded.
"What is this?"
Dai Xiaomei and Mozi looked at the papers in their hands with confusion.
They had no idea until they looked. Upon seeing them, Dai Xiaomei and Mozi were both momentarily stunned.
After a brief read, the two of them instantly understood what Ao Yuan had given them.
They exchanged glances, and then both held their breath, concentrating as they began to read carefully.
Meanwhile.
Atlantis.
At this moment, Bai Ling was not studying formations but was recalling every detail about the teleportation array, word by word.
She didn't know how long Ao Yuan would take to gather the materials.
But she understood that this teleportation array had to be set up perfectly.
Bai Ling was confident she could set up the teleportation array, but it was still her first time setting up a formation.
To say she wasn't nervous would be a lie.
This was why she was meticulously studying it; she couldn't afford even the slightest mistake.
"Who!"
At this moment, Bai Ling suddenly sensed something amiss and immediately turned her head.
At the entrance of Atlantis, a man wearing a wide robe and with horns on his head appeared. He possessed pale golden eyes, and behind him were several black boxes.
"Lord Dragon God! You really scared me to death." Bai Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Ao Yuan offered a rare compliment, "Not bad, you actually detected me."
"Of course I could detect you," Bai Ling said proudly.
"Then why didn't you detect me before?" Ao Yuan asked with a laugh.
"I..." Bai Ling was momentarily speechless, stammering, "I was too engrossed back then?"
"With my current mental strength, I would definitely have detected you."
Ao Yuan smiled without comment.
"Lord Dragon God, what are these..." At this point, Bai Ling noticed the boxes behind Ao Yuan and couldn't help but ask.
"You'll know when you look," Ao Yuan said.
Bai Ling walked to the black boxes and then unlatches one of them.
"This... are these all items containing spiritual energy?"
Bai Ling exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the contents of the box.
"Yes," Ao Yuan nodded concisely and then added, "Take a look and see if these are suitable for setting up the teleportation array."
Bai Ling instinctively wanted to blurt out that there were no problems.
But she stopped herself, nodded seriously instead, and said no more, closing her eyes to sense carefully.
The materials for setting up formations were essential, at least for Bai Ling at the current stage.
Bai Ling felt that Ao Yuan's request for her to sense them had some element of testing her.
While these items looked good on the surface, there might be some inferior ones underneath.
Otherwise, there would be no need to carefully examine items that clearly looked so good.
However...
After sensing them.
Bai Ling was bewildered.
After sensing them, she discovered that all the items containing spiritual energy here were exceptionally good.
She couldn't find a single flaw.
"Could it be that there are truly no issues with these?"
"No, impossible! Absolutely not right!"
Shaking her head, Bai Ling began to investigate even more thoroughly.
She didn't believe that these items were all without problems.
If there were truly no issues, Ao Yuan wouldn't have said that last sentence.
However.
She hadn't considered that Ao Yuan didn't have as many hidden thoughts as she imagined; he was simply asking a straightforward question.
After waiting for a long time and seeing Bai Ling still silent, Ao Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
"I... I..." Bai Ling looked up, a hint of frustration in her voice, not knowing what to say.
"You wait, I will definitely find something flawed!"
Hearing this, Ao Yuan was instantly confused.
What was this all about?
"Did you examine all of these?" Ao Yuan asked hesitantly.
"Yes," Bai Ling replied after a moment of silence, then nodded gently with her head bowed.
"And after you examined them all, they were all good?" Ao Yuan asked again.
"Yes," Bai Ling hesitated slightly, then nodded.
Although admitting it like this felt somewhat useless.
But that was the reality of it, and since Ao Yuan had asked, what else could she do but admit it?
"Lord Dragon God, just tell me, are there any flawed items here?"
"What flaws or no flaws?"
"Since they are all good, then take them quickly."
"And then prepare to set up the teleportation array."
"Ah..."
Bai Ling tilted her head, looking at Ao Yuan with a bewildered expression.
What... what was happening?
Could it be that these were truly all good?
Was everything just her imagination?
...
