Wang Ye was the same.

With a stern expression, matters regarding Spirit Star were of grave importance to Wang Ye, and he took great care in handling every clue related to it.

He wasn't surprised that the elders among the Martial Warriors knew about Spirit Star.

After all, these elders inherently knew more than their younger counterparts, including Long Qingtian, who learned about Spirit Star through ancient texts.

And these ancient texts had naturally been passed down from the hands of these elder Martial Warriors.

"Yes."

Wang Ye subconsciously straightened his posture, and Su Wanqing, after placing teacups in front of the elders, sensed the importance of the conversation from the atmosphere and promptly exited Wang Ye's office, gently closing the door behind her.

Su Wanqing knew that given her relationship with Wang Ye, listening to Wang Ye's conversation with Gu Pan in the office wouldn't have bothered him.

But Su Wanqing herself was aware of her limits.

This was information she shouldn't know.

Upon seeing Su Wanqing leave, Gu Pan praised, "President Wang is not only strong in ability, but he also handles internal discipline very well."

In their era, internal rules, especially those pertaining to women, were plentiful and sometimes even served as a benchmark to judge a household.

Wang Ye didn't take the praise to heart; he viewed it as quite insignificant.

Gu Pan continued to speak:

"You might already know some things about the affairs between Spirit Star and Earth Star, but do you wish to hear more about it?"

"Please speak, Elder," Wang Ye responded.

Wang Ye knew what Gu Pan intended to do and felt somewhat speechless inside. These elders cared greatly about propriety and also valued their dignity highly.

Despite feeling a bit exasperated, Wang Ye still responded.

"Although nowadays Spirit Star is much more powerful than Earth Star, in the distant past, Earth Star's prowess was the strongest. Even the True Qi used for cultivation on Spirit Star had originated and overflowed from Earth Star," said Gu Pan.

Wang Ye was momentarily taken aback.

He looked at Gu Pan with some surprise.

He knew that since Gu Pan had spoken, it might involve something critical, but he didn't expect it to be of such great significance.

Still, Wang Ye found it hard to believe.

The prowess of Earth Star back then was stronger than Spirit Star's?

That's a joke!

Impossible!

Even though he had never visited Spirit Star, just from the descriptions from Long Qingtian, he knew that Spirit Star was undoubtedly much stronger than Earth Star.

Wang Ye was also an Earth Star person.

He, too, hoped that his Earth Star was very powerful.

But the key issue was that sometimes, simply wishing was not enough; one had to abide by reality, and speak based on what was actually happening.

One could not say that just because Wang Ye was from Earth Star and wanted Earth Star to be powerful, he would ignore external factors and claim outright that Earth Star was the most powerful!

This was incorrect.

Seeing that Wang Ye did not believe him, Gu Pan said nothing before this sentence; he had, in fact, already anticipated what Wang Ye's reaction would be.

"I know you don't believe it, but this is the truth," he said.

As Gu Pan looked towards the direction of Spirit Star, he could see through the shifting of his gaze, some gaps appearing in the large web above, and vaguely make out some Demon Beasts watching from there.

Perhaps because he was on Earth Star, Gu Pan could see those Demon Beasts when he looked in that direction.

However, the Demon Beasts of Spirit Star could not see them.

"Our Earth Star has not only experienced a single True Qi extinction event—that state we were in before with only a scarce amount of True Qi remaining—but has undergone several such events," he explained.

"Before the first extinction of True Qi, Earth Star was much stronger than Spirit Star. Don't just look at the True Qi in Spirit Star being stronger in cultivation aspects, much stronger than in Earth Star. That's merely because the True Qi in Earth Star is not as concentrated. Yet, the True Qi in Earth Star, when absorbed for cultivation, provides the best foundational sensation to the human body."

Wang Ye remained silent.

Listening quietly to Gu Pan speaking here.

Wang Ye analyzed the expression on Gu Pan's face; he could tell that Gu Pan was not lying, and Gu Pan had no reason to deceive him in this respect unless he was idle.

"The first extinction of True Qi was due to an invasion by creatures called monsters in Spirit Star. People could defeat these monsters, but because the monsters absorbed True Qi very rapidly, as long as True Qi existed, these monsters could grow very quickly, becoming almost indestructible," Gu Pan continued.

Monsters.

When Wang Ye heard the word "monsters" from Gu Pan, his expression immediately became serious.

Although he did not know what these monsters were, he had also heard about them from Lei Linger when he was at Changbai Mountain.

It was just that the monsters were being suppressed by Lei Linger.

And it was because Lei Linger had always been suppressing the monsters in Changbai Mountain, that she eventually died over the long stretch of time.

Wang Ye scrutinized Gu Pan as he spoke, noting the subtle movements of his facial expressions, which showed no signs of lying.

From these observations, even if Wang Ye had initially been skeptical, he now had to believe that what Gu Pan said was indeed the truth.

Learning that what Gu Pan had said was indeed true, Wang Ye felt even more curious.

Why was the True Qi so rich in Earth Star before, but now, it was not as rich as it used to be?

What exactly had happened on Earth Star to cause such a change?

Why had Gu Pan, at this time, come to him to discuss these matters? What was Gu Pan's purpose?

Wang Ye did not believe that Gu Pan had come here and talked about these things for no reason.
