293: Chapter 177: The Official Establishment of the Light Blue Clan 293: Chapter 177: The Official Establishment of the Light Blue Clan âBone-eating Demon!â
A term had somehow appeared in Xiao Shunâs mind.
Just as he was about to run away without caring about anything else, he suddenly found that the stone platform beneath him looked familiar.
The circle of hexagram arrays on it felt especially familiar.
âWhat is thisâŠ
what is thisâŠ
why am I here!â
His mind began to furiously ponder over where the problem layâoperating rooms, monsters, stone platforms.
All of it seemed so absurd.
Finally, a term streaked through his mind like a meteor.
âEye of the Starry Sky!
That symbol is the Eye of the Starry Sky!â
Memories began to flood in like the tide, and Xiao Shun suddenly understood his current situationâhe was undergoing an awakening!
Next, the white light around him began to converge, and the illusion, like a shattering mirror, broke.
His awakening had been completed.
After listening to his story, Zhang Xiaoman couldnât help but fall into deep thought.
Regarding the Enlightenment Arrayâs awakening, he had always been clueless.
Since there were currently too few people, the information he could gather was limited, so he couldnât be sure what the pattern was.
Just like why everyone had different methods for breaking the illusion when they awakened.
Lin Sisi was reminded by others to retrieve her memory, Ye Cang found a flaw, and Brother Hero was just lucky to barely make it to the end.
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoman dared not interfere too much with the process of awakening, because he didnât know what consequences that would bring.
Some things could only be tested when the time was ripe.
Fortunately, there were seven members still awaiting awakening, and today, Zhang Xiaoman finally had the opportunity to observe and record.
Xiao Shunâs awakening had been completed.
Next was Yang Yangyang.
This youngster had seen himself fall into a pit during an adventure when awakening, struggling to survive there for half a month before being found.
During that time, one of his arms even broke and became numb, while outside only a few minutes had passed.
The number of people awakening was increasing one by one.
Ji Xiaoqi re-experienced being kidnapped, eventually discerning clues to break the illusion.
Su Changqing revisited being controlled by a Parasitic Spiritâsometimes his consciousness was clear, sometimes lost, but he could not move his body at all and just like that, inexplicably passed.
Su Fu was transported back to a crucial business negotiation from his youth, one that concerned his entire future.
He analyzed his opponent, collected information, and executed a series of strategic moves, ultimately using a defiant method to forcefully complete what seemed to others an impossible negotiation, breaking the illusion.
âŠ
One by one, the new members of the Star Alliance successfully awakened, and in the end, everyone passed, which genuinely surprised Zhang Xiaoman.
After summarizing this event, he noted that everyoneâs awakening time was roughly between 3-10 minutes, and the methods for breaking the illusion also varied.
During this process, their arms would initially be restricted for various reasons or even forgotten entirely, only when their emotions reached a certain point would they remember.
Zhang Xiaoman speculated that if one were to forcibly move their arm under these circumstances, the awakening might truly fail.
Fortunately, no one in attendance did that, among whom Su Changqing had the easiest time; controlled by the Parasitic Spirit throughout, he inexplicably waited until the illusion ended.
In any case, everyoneâs awakening was successful, and Zhang Xiaoman also successfully gathered quite a bit of information about the Enlightenment Array; everything was progressing smoothly.
âThe Eye of the Starry Sky in the palm of your hands signifies that you have become Awakeners, and it is also an important symbol for members of the Star Alliance to recognize each otherâs identity in the future.â
âFrom now on, please remember the responsibilities you bear.
The seven of you will be assigned to the Light Blue Clan; you will choose a clan leader among yourselves.
The Light Blue Clan will mainly be responsible for the Star Allianceâs logistics, recruiting new members, and the issuance and assessment of tasksâŠâ
Zhang Xiaoman said this and then looked towards the remaining person.
âAs for Su Fu, please come with me later; I have a separate task for you to complete.â
After stating his arrangements, he checked the time and continued:
âItâs past mealtime now, and everyone is hungry.
I have prepared some food for you all; letâs just make do here for lunch today.
Another day, Iâll ask Elder Ye to prepare something, and we all can go have a good meal at Dragon Sleep Mountain, getting familiar with our external branch station.â
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Ye Cang, who smiled and nodded, indicating no problem.
Subsequently, everyone followed Zhang Xiaoman to the underground living area, where in the biggest grassland tent, a table full of lavish dishes had been prepared.
âThese are dishes I ordered from a restaurant outside this morning.
They have been sitting for a while, so they might not taste as fresh, but please bear with it for now.â
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly sat at the table.
Having been through a long morning, everyone was very hungry now.
They naturally didnât take Zhang Xiaomanâs polite words seriously, each eating so happily, with Xiao Shun even exclaiming how delicious it was several times.
âHuh?
Whatâs this?
Is this mahi-mahi?
Why is it so tasty?
Boss, where did you buy this?â
The one asking was Yang Yangyang, who was stuffing a juicy piece of fish into his mouth, his cheeks bulging like a hamster.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the fish in his hand and said:
âI caught this in the Seven-star Lake.
The lake is quite large and should be able to serve as a stable source of food for us in the future.â
The fish had been caught by the World Tree from the lake earlier that morning.
Donât be deceived by the treeâs outward appearance, which was only about 200 meters tall; its roots were unimaginably large, stretching within the entire shielded area.
It could be said that as long as it was within the range of the shield, Zhang Xiaoman could completely control the World Tree to assist him in work and combat.
Now that he had absolute control power here, it was much more convenient for him to undertake various construction-related activities.
Upon hearing this, everyone was amazed, and couldnât believe that the fish from Seven-star Lake could be so delicious.
It tasted as though it had been bred in some specialty farm, absurdly tasty to the point of being irresistible.
Su Fuâs eyes lit up, as if he had spotted some kind of business opportunity.
The topic then shifted towards the direction of the baseâs development.
Gathering ideas from everyone, many constructive suggestions were made, which benefited Zhang Xiaoman greatly and further clarified the plans for future development in his mind.
Everyone enjoyed this lunch immensely, and Zhang Xiaoman, who was down-to-earth, felt quite relaxed as everyone had already known each other, so there was not much pressure.
Counting this, it was the first internal gathering of Star Alliance members.
Although the setting was rather humble, its secluded location added a unique sense of detachment from the world, blending novelty with a touch of warmth.
After understanding the current stage and goals of Star Alliance, the newly joined members became excited.
They realized that they were likely to be the future backbone and elders of the alliance, which inspired a strong enthusiasm to go all out.
