I can find treasures in my dreams.

Twelve hours later.

The first remote meeting of the Azure Alliance has officially begun.

The so-called "Azure Alliance" is a cross-civilizational community composed of twenty-six worlds surrounding the Azure Civilization, and also a small group with the Azure Civilization at its core.

The reason for naming it "Canglan" is not only because the Canglan civilization is backed by the behemoth-level powerful civilization of Meijia, but also because the various technologies and creations produced by the Canglan people over the years have almost occupied half of the alliance's internal trade exports.

The Qingfeng Civilization, ranked second, has been in the Primordial World for nearly a century and has accumulated considerable resources, yet its annual export volume is less than one-third of that of the Canglan Civilization.

In cross-civilization trade, export volume is the most direct reflection of a civilization's comprehensive strength and heritage.

Therefore, when Yang Fan publicly announced, under the name "Mr. Spirit Raven," that the Azure Civilization had mastered a mature "Knight Training Method," there was almost no questioning within the alliance.

Even the alliance's "settlement currency," the standard unit used for pricing cross-civilization transactions, is the "Azure Crystal," issued by the Azure Civilization.

This is not ordinary credit money, but a physical currency minted from a mixture of six primary materials and three secondary materials.

now.

Inside the Alliance meeting hall.

Zhao Xiaoying, as the second-in-command of the People's Federation, presided over the meeting in place of Yang Fan.

The hall's circular dome is hundreds of meters high, and twelve giant human-shaped sculptures stand around it.

The sculptures depict a variety of figures, including workers, engineers, soldiers, people with special abilities, warriors, the elderly, and children.

This design aims to convey the ideals advocated by the Canglan civilization—equality for all.

A lush evergreen tree hangs motionless fifty meters above the ground.

At first glance, this tree seems unremarkable.

Upon closer inspection, the evergreen tree actually grows in another independent space, with extremely subtle spatial ripples on the edge of every leaf and every branch.

If you look more closely, especially at the changes in the ripples, you will discover something truly amazing—the evergreen tree is not static and suspended in mid-air, but rather slowly rotating within its own independent space.

This only illustrates one thing—the independent spaces are constantly rotating synchronously and continuously adjusting the laws of space.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of spatial power knows that it is an extremely difficult technique.

The purpose of the Azure Man doing this was undoubtedly to show off his skills.

"Da da!"

With steady footsteps, Zhao Xiaoying walked onto the conference stage.

Twenty-five light curtains, each ten meters high, floated in mid-air, forming a giant ring.

Inside each light curtain, light threads flowed like a galaxy, and countless runes flowed behind the light curtain, like sleeping energy beasts breathing slowly.

This is an ultra-long-distance communication device independently designed and manufactured by the Azure Civilization, named "Azure Star Mirror".

It can achieve stable, high-definition, and low-latency cross-civilization communication within this world cluster, and can even achieve real-time projection across several world barriers.

When it was first exhibited last year, representatives from the other twenty-five civilizations were immediately awestruck by its incredibly clear and realistic imaging and its terrifyingly stable transmission capabilities. They didn't hesitate to spend a fortune on the spot to purchase a set for themselves.

Now all the light screens light up simultaneously, clearly displaying the images of twenty-five representatives from different civilizations.

All the delegates' eyes were fixed on the evergreen tree suspended in mid-air, their eyes revealing obvious astonishment.

Because they all understood the Azure Man's dazzling skills.

Zhao Xiaoying's gaze swept over the representatives of the twenty-five civilizations, and she spoke slowly, her voice clear and steady:
"Everyone, the Azure Civilization has successfully made contact with a chosen one who has entered the Abyss of the Fallen Sands and completed a stable call lasting half a minute three hours ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a bomb had been dropped into the entire conference hall.

The twenty-five representatives on the screen simultaneously showed expressions of shock, and several even stood up from their seats.

Since the strange occurrences in the Black Sand Sea of ​​Death, large numbers of people from various civilizations have mysteriously disappeared, and the number of missing persons continues to rise.

All civilizations recognized the gravity of the situation and poured vast resources into trying to contact the missing, but all efforts were in vain. No response! No signal! No clues!

The Lost Abyss is like a giant black hole, swallowing all detection and communication.

Against this backdrop, the Azure Civilization accomplished something that others could not—successfully contacting the chosen ones within the secret realm.

This means that the Azure Civilization may be the only civilization in the entire alliance capable of finding the key to resolving the crisis.

This is undoubtedly great news for the league members.

After all, the cost of seeking help from the alliance is much less than that of seeking help from other powerful civilizations.

A representative stood up first, her tone urgent and eager: "Ms. Zhao, has your civilization found a way to stop the secret realm from taking away the Azure people?"

Zhao Xiaoying shook her head slightly and said frankly, "I'm sorry, we haven't found an effective way to stop it yet."

Many delegates immediately showed disappointment on their faces.

But Zhao Xiaoying changed the subject, her gaze sweeping across the room: "However, before discussing solutions, I'd like to ask you all a question. There are many rumors circulating about the ancient gods in this world group these days, I'm sure you've all heard about them, right?"

The delegates nodded in agreement.

The idea that the Lost Abyss is related to the ancient gods has long been circulating among various civilizations, but most civilizations are still in a state of half-belief and half-skepticism.

Zhao Xiaoying's tone was calm and certain: "According to the intelligence held by the Canglan Civilization, the credibility of this news is very high."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall erupted in an uproar.

However, her next words made everyone's hearts sink: "From what we know so far, the secret realm is an extremely dangerous place, and the level of power involved is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary civilizations."

"Not only the Azure Civilization, but even stronger advanced civilizations would probably find it difficult to exert a substantial influence on the secret realm itself."

A brief silence fell over the conference room.

A few seconds later, Saljia, the representative of the Qingfeng Civilization, noticed that Zhao Xiaoying's expression remained calm and tentatively asked, "Ms. Zhao, if I'm not mistaken... your civilization should already have a preliminary solution in mind, right?"

Zhao Xiaoying smiled slightly: "Yes, after Mr. Lingya communicated with the people trapped in the secret realm, he did indeed suggest a direction."

She paused, then continued, "We also have another crucial piece of information: the secret realm didn't always exist on the surface world. It was originally hidden in the deepest part of the Black Sand Sea, and its sudden appearance is closely related to the confrontation between the two ancient gods."

Many delegates seemed to be deep in thought.

Sarga reacted the fastest, immediately grasping the deeper meaning in her words: "Ms. Zhao, could it be that the key to resolving this crisis lies hidden in the battle between the two ancient gods?"

Zhao Xiaoying nodded and said, "That's right. According to Mr. Lingya's deduction, when the two ancient god powers collide again, the secret realm is very likely to experience huge fluctuations."

"At that time, some exploitable vulnerabilities may be exposed inside the secret realm, which will be our opportunity."

Sarga couldn't help but exclaim, "This is indeed a very valuable idea!"

He could sense that the Azure Civilization seemed to have truly found a breakthrough.

In a flash, he made his decision and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Zhao, Qingfeng Civilization is willing to immediately provide five million Azure Crystals to assist Azure Civilization in exploring the secret realm."

Five million chips is no small sum.

One piece of azure crystal is equivalent to one kilogram of first-grade heterogeneous material, black crystal iron. Black crystal iron is one of the most widely used basic heterogeneous materials, and it is indispensable in the military equipment, machinery, and alloy materials of almost all civilizations.

Taking the Azure Civilization as an example, among the 10,000 most widely used heterogeneous alloys in the Human Alliance, more than 1,000 must have black crystal iron added as a basic stabilizing material.

Five million crystals are equivalent to five thousand tons of black crystal iron, a value so high that it would move any high-ranking official of any civilization present.

Sarjia's actions are clearly an "investment." If the Azure Civilization really finds a way to resolve the crisis, then in consideration of this investment, the Azure Civilization will definitely lend a helping hand to the Green Peak Civilization first.

If the crisis is resolved a day sooner, the Qingfeng civilization can save many lives.

The conference room erupted in commotion once again. (End of Chapter)
