Chapter 161

When Li Hao entered the Star River group, it instantly exploded. Li Hao was completely bewildered. He recognized some people, but most were strangers. He didn't know that although he hadn't appeared this year, he had always been a hero of humanity. Unknowingly, Li Hao had become a pillar in the eyes of countless warriors.

Humanity needed a leader they could trust, from the S Tournament to the Kepler War, none could compare.

At this moment, Archon Cantata, De Flandre, and the Dragon Maiden Ninglong were discussing something. They were brewing tea on the table, and only De Flandre and Ninglong were in the large room.

"How much do you think he knows?" De Flandre, dressed in a tea ceremony outfit, poured a cup for Ninglong.

Ninglong smelled the fragrance of the tea, which was refreshing. It could only be cultivated on Earth.

"Nothing at all," Ninglong said with a light smile, then sipped it carefully. "But I can see he's very wary of you."

De Flandre took a sip of tea. "There are some past connections, but this person is worth fighting for. Our interests don't directly conflict. Houser is the main target."

A strange light flashed in Ninglong's eyes. "You think so highly of him?"

The reason Ninglong went to see Li Hao in person wasn't because Li Hao had the power of dimensions. In the vast universe, there were all kinds of unknown dimensional powers. Other races couldn't see them because of their abilities, but they weren't worth mentioning to the Dragon race. Yet, De Flandre had her make the trip.

To outsiders, the relationship between Ninglong and De Flandre was ordinary, but this was entirely an illusion they created for the outside world. Not only was their relationship good, but De Flandre was also recognized by the Star Forging Dragon race. This time, coming to Archon Cantata was of course with an important mission, and Ninglong was to provide assistance. The reason it wasn't directly exposed was to avoid trouble. After all, a neutral Dragon race had more influence.

Ninglong smiled charmingly. "Since you think so highly of him, then I'll observe him. Should the Star Forging Dragon Alliance leave a position for him?"

De Flandre nodded. "Yes, we can."

"You really care. This is a great help to him. He should thank you. This is equivalent to helping him get rid of his lowly human status and gain the approval of Cantata," Ninglong said with a smile. The Star Forging Dragon Alliance was an internal Cantata organization led by the Dragon race, and its significance was extraordinary. Regardless of what civilization one came from, once recognized by the Dragon Alliance, they would automatically enter the preferred class in the Cantata system. The Sergeant Major had two important title evaluations, one was "Star," which was the recognition of an excellent captain who had performed multiple missions. This was evaluated by Cantata. The other was a more powerful evaluation, "Hero," and one of the prerequisites was membership in the Dragon Alliance.

De Flandre was giving Li Hao a buff. Ninglong had known De Flandre for a long time, and it was the first time she had seen De Flandre so attentive, even with a hint of "flattery."

Born into the Cthulhu family of the Seventh Art Federation, a famous family in the Galactic Era, the gifted De Flandre had secretly obtained the recognition of the Star Forging Dragon race, with the blessing of dual identities. De Flandre was destined to become one of the leaders of the Celestials. In fact, the Star Forging Dragon race had always maintained the balance of the Star Alliance through this method.

In the current Star River Alliance, because the Silver Heart Commerce Alliance was developing too rapidly, and because of its "open," "free," "fair," and "compatible" policies, it had gained the support of too many forces, essentially breaking the original balance of the three pillars. Therefore, the Ozir Empire and the Seventh Art Federation must be strengthened, and De Flandre and Hermia were the most important links in this. Whether from ability, identity, or attitude, De Flandre was the most suitable.

De Flandre shook her head and waved her hand helplessly. "Ninglong, I really didn't think that way. Although I don't know what methods he has, I always feel that the Cantata system can't suppress him."

Ninglong's eyes were bright. "You're a bit blind. The Cantata order is the foundation of the entire Star River order. Everyone must follow the rules. At his stage, without the help of the Dragon Alliance, it will take at least a few years to become a Sergeant Major, and there are many variables in this."

Ninglong wasn't conceited. This had nothing to do with ability. She didn't underestimate Li Hao. In her conversation with him, Li Hao wasn't affected by the Dragon might at all, and wasn't even affected by the Dragon Maiden's charm.

Once approaching a Dragon Maiden, other creatures were easily infected by the Dragon Maiden's charm, becoming fond, worshipful, and other positive emotions. Only those with strong will and powerful souls could resist.

Ding-dong.

De Flandre glanced at her Star Messenger, a strange wry smile on her face. "It seems we both underestimated my old friend."

Ninglong glanced at it, and the aloof Dragon Maiden finally showed emotion.

Li Hao had entered the Heavenly Stairs and broken the shackles of the new civilization, creating the fastest record for entering the Heavenly Stairs.

Inconceivable!
