The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"Lorian".

After a long silence, Anya spoke again, saying, "This is extremely serious. If Zogra really did project his image there, it means that the entire Ashmerkham could be wiped out as a result."

"I trust you, so I will report this to the highest decision-making body of the Ashmerkham immediately."

Clearly, at this moment, she chose to trust Lorian and was willing to share the risks.

"Phew... thank goodness it's you."

Hearing this, Lorian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, you're the one sitting in this seat today."

"If it were those old pedants in the Academy who only know how to follow the rules, or those bureaucrats sent by other families..."

"I might have to waste more time and effort, and even risk my life to prove I'm not crazy."

"If that's the case, by the time they finish that lengthy verification process, it will be too late."

Anya scoffed, "You know you're acting like a madwoman, huh?"

"You came here looking like a ghost. If it weren't for the fact that your Time Traveler's cloak is all torn to shreds, I would have thought you were being chased here by some Star Hunter for debt."

Despite her complaints, Anya's hands moved swiftly, rapidly operating the light screen on her desk to unlock various communication permissions for the Libra Nexus.

"Once this information is reported, the peace of the entire Starfall Divine Realm will be completely over."

As Anya entered the key, she said in a deep voice, "However, you'd better be prepared that once the higher-ups verify this information, you'll probably be taken to the council chamber for questioning."

However, just as Anya's finger was about to press the encrypted communication button...

"Buzz—"

Anya's communication watch suddenly started vibrating violently.

Anya's movements suddenly stopped.

Her brows furrowed, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

At such a critical juncture, who would be so foolish as to call her using a private line?

She glanced down at the holographic projection screen on her wrist, and her previously impatient expression froze instantly, replaced by an undisguised look of surprise and astonishment.

The name on the caller ID is only one, yet it carries immense weight.

Terence Lucia.

He is the current head of the Lucia family and also her biological father.

The appearance of this name made Anya's heart start to race.

As the family's governor stationed at the Libra Hub, Anya's daily reporting and intelligence exchange are handled by the family's Internal Affairs Department.

Her father, who held a high position and was extremely busy, rarely used this most private channel to call her watch.

The last time Terence made a direct call was three years ago when a massive interstellar beast tide involving trillions of lives broke out at the edge of the Starfall God Realm.

It's safe to say that if the head of the family were to personally contact her, it would definitely not be for the purpose of showing concern or care.

Something earth-shattering must have happened!

"What's wrong?"

Lorian noticed that Anya's expression was off.

"It's my father."

Anya had no time to hide her inner turmoil.

Without hesitation, she pressed the call button in front of Lorian, after all, the news Lorian brought back was enough to cause a huge uproar, and she couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion at the moment.

A pale blue beam of light emanated from the watch, quickly outlining a tall and imposing figure in mid-air.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue robe.

This is Terence Lucia.

A man whose sneeze can make half of the Starfall Divine Realm tremble.

"Father, why are you at this time...?"

Anya was about to speak, wanting to take the opportunity to report the horrifying information that Lorian had brought back.

Anya.

Terence in the holographic image interrupted her directly, his voice cold and hard.

There was absolutely no room for pleasantries.

At the same time, his expression was serious, and his brows were deeply furrowed, as if he had just experienced a heated internal meeting.

"No matter what you're busy with right now, no matter what kind of daily situation Libra Hub is facing, put it all aside."

"Immediately transfer the day-to-day defense authority of the hub to your deputy."

"I have an extremely urgent task that requires your personal attention and to be completed as quickly as possible."

"It could even be described as...at any cost."

These words hit Anya hard, causing her heart to skip a beat.

What exactly happened?

It's astonishing that the leader, who is usually so composed, would use such a commanding and coercive tone.

To demand that a governor stationed in a strategic location immediately abandon his defense duties and carry out this order?

After all, this violates Ashmerkrin's standard defense regulations!

"Father."

Anya glanced subconsciously at Lorian sitting not far away: "What's so urgent? I just received extremely dangerous intelligence, it concerns..."

"Your intelligence report will be shelved for now!"

Terence interrupted Anya again without any politeness: "What I'm about to tell you concerns the absolute prosperity of the Lucia family for the next ten eras!"

"Everything has to give way to it!"

"Just now, the Ashmerkton Secret Realm Detection Department sent us new information: near the Starfall Rift Abyss on the edge of our Starfall Divine Realm, an extremely powerful high-dimensional secret realm energy fluctuation has erupted."

Starfall Rift Abyss?!

Upon hearing the place name, Anya's pupils contracted slightly.

Lorian, who was sitting next to him, was startled and suddenly looked up.

His eyes were filled with astonishment.

He had just escaped death from the Starfall Rift Abyss, and he clearly remembered what was there!

That's a projection of the Old God Zogra!

But what are Ashmert's monitoring findings now?

A higher-dimensional secret realm?

What kind of interstellar joke is this?

Terence, oblivious to Lorian's presence, continued speaking in an urgent tone:

"According to calculations and verifications by the Starry Sky Historians and the Think Tank, the wave pattern of that high-dimensional energy fluctuation perfectly matches that of a powerful, lost divine realm from several eras ago!"

"The Kingdom of the Blazing Sun!"

At this point, Terence's voice trembled with fervor: "It's that legendary [Genesis-level] artifact, rumored to contain the Heart of the Sun, enough to keep any divine realm safe for centuries!"

"This news is currently only circulating among the top echelons of the Ashmerkrt families, but the truth will eventually come out."

"Those scoundrels in this star system, especially those Star Hunters who sniff around like mad dogs, have likely already gotten wind of this through their shady channels!"

"So... I need you to immediately take the elite squad from the Libra Nexus and reach the coordinates of the Starfall Rift before the Starsea Hunters from the Fallen Leaf Court and the representatives from the other major families!"

"Take that secret realm at all costs!"

"Bring the Heart of the Blazing Sun back to the family!"
