"Alright."

Wang Ye nodded slightly and then refocused his gaze on Gu Pan, waiting for Gu Pan to continue speaking.

Wang Ye didn't understand many of the matters between Spirit Star and Earth Star, and now that someone was voluntarily helping him to grasp these issues, he naturally welcomed the opportunity.

Although he did not know what Gu Pan's purpose was in coming here, that didn't hinder Wang Ye from seeking out some of the content he needed from Gu Pan.

"With Lei Linger guarding against the monsters, Earth Star did not suffer further monster invasions, but after some time had developed, Earth Star's True Qi was suddenly drained a great deal, leading to a second state of True Qi extinction. The reason for this remains unknown."

The rest did not need Gu Pan to elaborate further.

Because they explored Taiyuan Mountain, it led directly to awakening some entities within the ancient ruins, resulting in the revival of True Qi.

Being pragmatic, since Gu Pan and his group had finished discussing the changes between Spirit Star and Earth Star, Wang Ye looked squarely at Gu Pan, "Gu Lao, you've said so much, yet you haven't told me what you're trying to convey."

"Actually, it's quite simple."

"Previously, our purpose in enhancing our own strength was to counter the crisis brought to Earth Star by Spirit Star."

After finishing, Gu Pan stood up first.

Rustle rustle.

Just as Gu Pan stood up, the old-generation martial warriors behind him also stood up one after another, fixing their gaze on Wang Ye.

This imposing setup made Wang Ye feel somewhat bewildered.

But since these elder martial warriors had stood up, Wang Ye naturally couldn't keep sitting, so he planned to stand as well.

Yet within Gu Pan's voice that contained a steady tone, he spoke to Wang Ye:

"Wang Ye, you don't need to stand up; you sit down first."

The sincerity in Gu Pan's voice was palpable, even conveying a plea.

Wang Ye felt even more baffled.

However, since Gu Pan was treating him with such an attitude, no matter how confused Wang Ye felt internally, he still sat down.

With sincere voice, Gu Pan looked at Wang Ye, his eyes also bearing some apology as he spoke:

"During the war in Dragon Country, we didn't step forward; it was our fault. At that time, Dragon Country was in danger, and we didn't step forward."

"However, at that time, what we thought was that if we didn't step forward, other people surely would."

"And as you know, back then, Dragon Country, to us, seemed like the ruler between heaven and earth, very powerful, unbeatable! So even with the war occurring in Dragon Country, we harbored somewhat dismissive thoughts in our hearts."

Wang Ye listened and thought, without speaking.

From their perspective, Gu Pan's words were not without reason.

At that time, Dragon Country indeed seemed very powerful.

To call it the number one in the world wasn't an exaggeration.

All nations came to celebrate.

"But all along, the word 'guard' was never forgotten by us; it was just that we thought, after our power improved, we would deal with the demon beasts and powerhouses from Spirit Star when they arrived, dispelling those troublemakers from Spirit Star."

"However, we overlooked the current situation!"

It was evident, whether it was Gu Pan or the old-generation martial warriors behind him, that they had deeply reflected during this period, hence the sincerity in their apologies was palpable.

Sitting across from them, Wang Ye could feel the remorse emanating from them.

As Wang Ye listened to their apologies, he hastily stood up.

Although Gu Pan had asked him to sit, Wang Ye knew, sensing these elder martial warriors standing up, that they were sincerely apologizing.

Or rather, apologizing to the people of this era.

If Wang Ye had continued to sit at this moment, it would only indicate a significant deficiency in his emotional intelligence.

Wang Ye stood up, while Gu Pan and the others kept speaking, reflecting on the mistakes they had made during this period.

After some reflection, Gu Pan and his companions spoke together:

"We apologize for our past mistakes and do not seek your forgiveness; instead, we hope that between us, we can put aside those grievances, work together, and strive against those from Spirit Star."

Gu Pan and his group didn't even mention hoping Wang Ye and his group would forgive them.

They knew the severity and excessiveness of their mistakes in that era.

Thus, they did not expect Wang Ye and people of this era to forgive them; they merely hoped that Wang Ye and his group, in the times to come, could put aside their prejudices and work with them against the people from Earth Star.

Wang Ye took a deep breath, "I can promise you, if you truly act as you've said, aiming to deal against those from Earth Star, I personally can let go of my prejudices against you, and we can work together against the people from Spirit Star."

"That's good enough."

Wang Ye did not speak of forgiveness, but smiles already began to surface on the faces of Gu Pan and his group.

Next, Wang Ye led Gu Pan and his group towards the Fang Family Hotel.

On the way to the Fang Family Hotel, Wang Ye discussed this matter with Long Qingtian, whose response was to let Wang Ye cooperate with these old-generation martial warriors in the name of Yuncheng Martial Science University first, and then decide based on their performance.

Wang Ye naturally agreed.

The strength of these old-generation martial warriors was undoubtedly very formidable.

One could even say that just these old-generation warriors alone could easily conquer any country other than Dragon Country, Ninja Country, Chopstick Country, and Ma Country.

With such a formidable force potentially under his control, whatever Wang Ye intended to do next would be much more convenient.

Another point was that with Wang Ye's Yuncheng Martial Science University, if these old-generation warriors were willing to join, it would also bring significant benefits to the students of Yunwu University.

Next, it was up to Wang Ye to see if he could lure these old-generation martial warriors to join Yunwu University.
