In the vast expanse of the star sea, there are countless living beings, some ordinary individuals with muddled minds and wavering stances. Naturally, there are also those who embark on arduous journeys of self-cultivation, driven by certain principles or their own desires.
Those who intentionally or unintentionally step onto the paths ordained by Star Gods are known as Pathwalkers.
Pathwalkers are not uncommon in the star sea. Even on planets inhabited by primitive civilizations, still in the early space age in the eyes of interstellar civilizations, those who haven't ventured into the star sea, they still exist, even if they could only build an observatory and add +8 to their society's sociology.
But amongst the countless Pathwalkers, there are hardly any who receive the blessings of multiple paths simultaneously.
The reason why it's "almost" nonexistent is because the universe is incredibly vast, and anything can happen - in fact, before this, Fu Xuan didn't think such a scenario would ever occur.
Until she met Bai Yu.
The Junior General of the Luofu Xianzhou, almost everyone believed he would become the Envoy of the Hunt simultaneously on the day he inherited the position of General.
But Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan, along with a handful of other high-ranking officials in Luofu, know that aside from the path of the Hunt, he has also attracted the attention of the Heavenly Mandate of the Bureau of Heaven's Mandate and the Master of Ruin.
Fu Xuan had repeatedly used her profound divination array to analyze this unusual situation, but she still found nothing.
In short, Bai Yu is playing something very new.
It is precisely because of the blessings of three paths at once that Bai Yu, as a non-Star God Envoy, possesses the strength to stand a chance against an Envoy-level enemy.
To understand his own situation, Bai Yu strongly advocated for cooperation between Luofu and the Black Tower Space Station. The official reasons were superficial, but only those in the know understand the extent of the Black Tower's interest in Bai Yu.
"I still can't let go of my worries about that woman. Bai Yu, promise me that if you truly intend to participate in the simulated universe test, you'll inform me and allow me to accompany you."
Fu Xuan, with her small face tightened, looked serious and unyielding.
"Don't worry." Bai Yu flipped off the bed and sat up. "Since you're so concerned, why not have the Black Tower bring her space station here?"
"Eh?"
"After all, Luofu is going to stay in this star system for a while, and the Black Tower is a space station anyway. What's the difference? Just have her bring her space station over."
"She's even more eager to participate in the test than I am. As long as I agree, she'll readily agree to any reasonable request within this premise."
Fu Xuan realized this as well.
As long as the testing site is near Luofu, she can react quickly to any situation.
However, Fu Xuan quickly noticed something amiss. Her eyes scanned Bai Yu, whose expression held an inexplicable smile, and she whispered, "Are you also eyeing the Legion of Destruction?"
"Although there's no conclusive evidence yet, preventing the Ministry of Divine Strategy from taking immediate action, various clues suggest that the Secret Teachings of the Medicine King's followers, the Dragon Masters within the Bright Clan they're collaborating with, the external enemy they've connected with, is either the Envoy of Abundance or the Envoy of Ruin."
Bai Yu didn't state it definitively but made a logical deduction based on the information gathered by the Cloud Riders' undercover agents.
"Since the Antimatter Legion intends to attack the Black Tower Space Station, why not have the Black Tower bring her space station here to Luofu?"
"Then, Luofu will inevitably support the Black Tower. Just make a big enough scene - no, considering the Black Tower Space Station is near Luofu, the Antimatter Legion's invasion will undoubtedly be more fierce than their original plan, inevitably causing some unrest within Luofu, creating opportunities for certain 'external enemies' - the Xianzhou has existed for thousands of years, and it's not easy for an external force to break through. I believe if they want to do something, taking advantage of the unrest within Luofu and infiltrating it would be the best approach."
"You want to lure them in, feigning weakness while being internally strong, seemingly relaxing your vigilance, focusing on supporting the Black Tower Space Station, while secretly setting a net in Luofu to capture them?"
"No, it's not just that. We first notify the Black Tower, then help her deal with the Antimatter Legion. Back and forth, when Luofu is defending itself, regardless of whether the enemy is the Scourge of Abundance or the Ruin's people, we can naturally draw in the Black Tower as our aid, assisting us?"
Fu Xuan instantly grasped Bai Yu's intentions, even outlining his subsequent plan.
The petite Diviner smiled, her gaze sweeping over Bai Yu, before remaining silent for a while and evaluating, "Bai Yu..."
"Hm?"
"You're such a baddie!"
Bai Yu chuckled, glanced at the time, and said, "It's getting late, time to go back!"
Fu Xuan, in a huff, gave him a 卫生眼 (hygiene eye), somewhat resentfully saying, "So eager to go back to that fox?"
"I'm still a child!" Bai Yu raised his chin. "Minors shouldn't be out past curfew, that's a Luofu tradition."
You're still a child?! That 祸根 (source of trouble) can't even manage her two little feet!
Fu Xuan's teeth itched with anger, but she knew that if Bai Yu stayed here any longer, Ting Yun would definitely come knocking.
That little fox from the Sky-Ferry Department cherished her "dear little brother" more than anything.
"Hurry, hurry, I get annoyed just looking at you - ah!"
Before she could finish, Fu Xuan suddenly felt a warm breeze beside her, followed by a moist sensation on her cheek.
When she recovered, she only saw Bai Yu, laughing loudly as he walked out the door.
She raised her hand to touch the spot where she was kissed, the Diviner puffed out her cheeks and stomped her foot.
If you're going to kiss, then kiss, it's not like you haven't kissed me before. Why kiss my face? I'm not a child anymore, go for something bolder!
Making it so innocent just wastes the peach-flavored lipstick I specifically put on today!?
On the other side, leaving Fu Xuan's fragrant boudoir, surrounded by the constant compliments from the Diviners in the Bureau of Divination, "Good morning, Junior General!" "See you later, Junior General~!" "Come back again soon, Junior General!", Bai Yu arrived at the Cloud Platform of the Bureau of Divination, where he used the 『斗转星移』(Luofu's internal teleportation system) to reach Longle Tian.
The people from the Bureau of Divination were so enthusiastic because whenever Bai Yu came, their stern Diviner would be in a good mood for the entire day.
—After all, for employees, there's nothing better than their normally strict and serious boss being in a good mood for the whole day.
