Lorian stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, momentarily lost in thought.

After all, in his memory, this person was not exactly a well-behaved individual at the Academy.

Not only does he frequently beat up suitors from various powerful families, but he also often leads a group of his underlings into dangerous secret realms, where they dance on the edge of a knife, and he has almost lost his life several times.

As a result, the Church of England revised its regulations several times and launched a frenzied crackdown on her, but still could not restrain her.

Furthermore, because of her family's extraordinary status, even her teachers had to show her respect.

Unexpectedly, that crazy woman from back then has now donned the uniform of a governor and become a powerful figure in charge of the hub.

This is like a little devil who used to fight and brawl in school and lead his gang to touch tigers in the wild, but now he has transformed into a powerful official in a jacket and tie.

Who wouldn't be confused upon seeing this?

"Don't...don't call me by that name anymore."

A moment later, Lorian snapped out of his daze and shook his head awkwardly.

That nickname given to me by my classmates during my time at the Faculty of Education might have been considered a form of recognition back then.

But coming from the mouth of a hub governor, it sounded like he was mocking his current half-dead and pathetic state.

"hehe……"

Hearing this, Anya chuckled, took a step back, leaned against the edge of the desk, and crossed her arms: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

"You're still the same boring guy as before!"

"Tell me, what exactly happened? What got you into this state? I heard from Renn that you brought back news that would shake the entire Starfall Divine Realm?"

"I'm quite curious, can you at least give me a shock first?"

The moment those words were spoken, the slight relief that Lorian had felt upon reuniting with an old friend vanished completely.

The muscles in his face visibly tightened, and his eyes were filled with an indescribable solemnity.

The next moment, Lorian spoke with a serious expression: "During my routine patrol near Starfall Rift, I discovered signs of the Old Gods' resurgence."

"And that resurrected ancient god was the one whose authority was scattered and whose starry sea was shattered during Ragnarok..."

"Zogra, Lord of Devouring Dimensions."

After he finished speaking, the office fell into an extremely long, deathly silence.

Anya, who was leaning against the edge of the desk, stiffened slightly.

Those eyes, which had just been carrying a hint of mockery, now...

The governor's composure was gradually fading, replaced by shock.

It took a good five or six seconds before he seemed to recover from the chilling news.

"You just said..."

"Who has recovered?"

"Zogra".

Lorian repeated it again without hesitation.

Only then did Anya realize that she hadn't misheard; she had truly heard the name of the ancient god who had once made the entire world tremble.

"Lorian".

After a moment, Anya's gaze also turned extremely serious, and her entire being exuded the aura of a governor, her tone full of warning: "I need to remind you!"

"You should understand the weight of the words 'Resurrection of the Old Gods'!"

"This isn't child's play!"

"If the intelligence is wrong, even if you were once Ashmerkrin's best ranger, they won't spare you. Are you sure that's a projection of Zogra, and not some kind of illusion created by a higher-dimensional aberration?"

Clearly, Anya was reminding the guy in front of her that if things weren't settled yet, she would pretend she hadn't heard him.

Once it's reported, the situation will become very serious.

More than anyone else, I hope I was just seeing things.

Lorian tugged at the corner of his mouth, gave a wry smile, and shook his head: "But that's the truth!"

As he said this, he looked down at his tattered Time Traveler's cloak and his eyes were full of relief.

"While I was conducting a routine patrol near the Starfall Rift, I discovered His projection descending!"

"At first, I wasn't sure either, thinking it was just my imagination, but... the aura emanating from that projection was so clear, as clear as the sun in the night!"

"It's so clear that anyone who's read the Starry Sky Historian's works would immediately recognize it. Even if I'm not the best, I'm still a seasoned wanderer who's been navigating the Starry Sky for decades. How could I possibly mistake that thing?"

"Unfortunately, the location of Rift Abyss is too remote, so I couldn't report it immediately!"

"For this... I didn't hesitate to steal the starships of those Star Hunters from the Fallen Leaf Court, just to use their warp engines to return!"

"However, I failed."

"Those guys were holding a forbidden artifact with an ancient aura. If I had been hit by that artifact, I would have had almost no chance of survival!"

"Fortunately, the aftershock of the item pushed me quite far, allowing me to encounter the Ark Merchant Guild's Golden Olive passing through the shipping lanes, which saved my life and enabled me to bring this news back!"

After hearing Lorian's words, the office fell silent again.

Anya didn't say anything, she just looked at Lorian.

If someone else stood in front of her and told her in that same confident tone that in that remote, godless chasm, an ancient god was being resurrected.

Moreover, it was Zogra, the Lord of Devouring Dimensions, whose authority was shattered during the Battle of Twilight.

Anya would definitely not hesitate to kick the other person out of the window of the Libra Hub, and send them to the psychiatric evaluation department to have their brains tested.

But now, the person standing in front of her is Lorian.

Lorian Scarlet, the Wolf of Instruction.

Anya knows this guy all too well.

From the time of the Academy, Lorian was like a hard, unbreakable rock.

He might do some foolish things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people because of his stubbornness, but he would never joke about something that could overturn the entire situation in the Star Sea.

Besides, who would be so bored as to do that?

At the risk of being skinned alive by the Ashmek Court for spreading rumors, why come to the Libra Hub to spout such a colossal lie?

Therefore, Anya believed him the moment Lorian spoke.

But believing it doesn't mean she can accept it immediately. It's simply because the news is so overwhelming, far beyond her capacity to handle.

Those are ancient gods.

Once the old gods are resurrected, the Starfall Divine Realm will become the center of the storm, with countless fanatical believers and former followers flocking there like madmen.

At that time, not only the Libra Nexus where she is located, but also the entire Starfall Divine Realm, and even the entire Universal Star Council, will be affected.

Faced with such terrifying power, they would probably be torn to shreds.
