Chapter 121: Chapter121-Elizabeth Gets Excited

It was unclear how much time had passed, but the lengthy report finally came to an end.

Elizabeth returned to her place in the lineup.

Leo, sitting in the main seat, slightly perked up. Finally, it was over!

Next time, perhaps he should have them submit written reports in advance!

That way, he could take it easy for a bit.

He looked down and noticed that Lilith had somehow fallen asleep beside him.

“Wake up, Lilith.”

He gently tapped his daughter’s back.

“Hmm~ is it over?”

Lilith rubbed her eyes sleepily, unable to suppress a small yawn, looking adorable.

Seeing his daughter in such a state, Leo’s gaze softened.

“You should go rest in your room. Once I’m done with this, I’ll join you and tell you about the fascinating things I encountered in the Starsea.”

Lilith nodded obediently without saying much.

The long meeting had indeed been too tedious for her.

She seemed to remember something and turned her gaze toward Selas below.

She was one of the few female companions she could actually talk to right now.

Since Elarielle and Elizabeth had important positions in Dalton’s main continent, they needed to stay behind for further reports.

Lilith decided to speak up, “Selas, why don’t you come with me? It’s too stuffy here.”

Upon hearing Lilith’s words, Selas was slightly taken aback.

She nervously glanced at Leo, then sought Wendell’s approval with a look.

“Go ahead, Selas. You’re not needed here for now,” Leo spoke gently.

After all, Selas’s main task was to accompany and take care of Lilith.

Wendell also gave her a nod of encouragement.

Selas gratefully glanced at Lilith, feeling as though she had been granted a pardon, and quickly left the tense hall with her.

Here, she was just an ordinary person, and after being here for so long, she felt lost and burdened by a strange pressure.

Now that she was allowed to leave, she couldn’t be happier!

After the two left, Leo’s gaze became sharp again, sweeping across the people standing below.

“Everyone! We must clearly recognize that the star domain we are in is merely a forgotten corner in the vast map of the Starsea.”

Leo’s voice was calm, but carried undeniable authority.

Upon hearing this, Aragis and the others frowned slightly.

They had just arrived from a lower dimension, and they weren’t fully clear on this concept.

They hadn’t even fully explored the main continent region, let alone the Alpha Starfield.

But as Leo described the situation systematically, they gradually began to form an understanding.

They had previously thought that the Sakend dimension revolved around the main continent region.

In reality, the main continent was only a secondary center of the Alpha Starfield. It was the largest solid landmass in the Alpha Starfield, so it was called the “main continent.”

In fact, the starry forces in the Alpha Starfield far outweighed the strength of those in the main continent, and their power was much stronger!

This could be seen in the territorial divisions of the main continent, where more prosperous groups were usually based in the starry domain, not on the mainland…

Beyond the Alpha Starfield, there were countless other starsea-like realms!

All the starseas together formed a complete Sakend cosmic dimension!

Wendell and Albert looked thoughtful.

They knew that in the Starsea, it was a brutal survival of the fittest, with powerful interstellar empires and religious civilizations constantly conquering and enslaving weaker star domains to plunder resources and faith.

Before Leo’s arrival, the overall power of the Alpha Starfield, Arcane Star Domain, and Emerald Starfield had been weak.

Not even a single Sanctuary Lord rank expert had emerged.

The reason this star domain group had not been devoured by external forces was not due to resource scarcity…

Leo’s gaze fell on Albert, and he spoke slowly.

“Albert, I remember that in your early years, you tried to cross the border of the Arcane Star Domain to explore the more distant unknown regions, didn’t you?”

Upon hearing this, Albert’s body slightly trembled. Though he didn’t understand how the president knew about this little-known past, he still respectfully answered.

“Yes, President, back then I was young and reckless. After finding few opponents in the surrounding star domains, I had the idea of traveling to the depths of the Starsea to challenge stronger beings and seek the true meaning of power.”

He paused here, a flicker of nostalgia and seriousness passing through his eyes.

Leo continued his sentence, affirming his words.

“But you failed.”

“You encountered an insurmountable obstacle at the border.”

Albert nodded, his expression solemn.

“When I exhausted all my strength and reached the farthest boundary of the Arcane Star Domain, known as the domain corridor, what I saw was not a magnificent starry river, but a chaotic veil that seemed to devour all light and hope.”

“It was like a natural cosmic barrier that completely blocked my way. The vastness and deathliness of it made me feel insignificant.”

“However,”

He changed the tone of his words, his eyes sparking with fighting spirit.

“With my current Sanctuary Lord rank strength, if I went back there, I’m confident I could tear through that barrier!”

Upon hearing this, Leo nodded, but his words made everyone’s hearts sink.

“That is not a naturally formed cosmic barrier. That veil is a man-made barrier!”

“What?!”

Albert’s pupils contracted, and disbelief was written all over his face.

Man-made?

A barrier covering multiple star domain borders?

How terrifying must the strength of the one who set up such a barrier be?!

Some of the oldest fragments of ancient texts hinted that, in the distant past, the region might not have been like this.

This terrifying thought had flashed in his mind before, but he had never dared to delve deeper into it.

Now, hearing Leo confirm it, a cold chill rose up his spine.

Wendell, frowning deeply, spoke up.

“If this was indeed set by someone, or some faction, then what is their purpose?”

“Is it to protect us, or is it to imprison us here, cutting us off from the greater stage?”

Upon hearing his analysis, the entire council hall fell silent.

Though Aragis and the others didn’t understand much about the Starsea’s structure, they could clearly sense the immense sense of danger in the conversation.

A complex emotion flickered in Leo’s eyes.

“This matter is far-reaching, so we’ll set it aside for now. It’s not our immediate priority.”

“What I’m announcing now is that Dalton Town’s next strategic phase has officially begun!”

“Our primary goal is to integrate the Alpha Starfield, followed by the Arcane Star Domain, Emerald Starfield, and all neighboring star domains. Once this star domain group is unified under a single order, we will gather the most powerful forces to aim for the even stronger and more exciting worlds of the Starsea!”

As Leo finished speaking, Elizabeth stepped forward, the sound of her armor clanking loudly.

“President!”

“Your will is the direction we march towards!”

Finally, the time had come for a true large-scale war!

To be honest, the opponents on the main continent were like paper tigers to her, offering no real challenge. She had long yearned for true adversaries.

Now, the opportunity for glory and battle had arrived at last!
