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

However, these two special envoys have managed to rise to their current positions within such a behemoth as the Star Council.

Having been assigned to inspect a region of divine territory, he was certainly not some fool who could be easily fooled.

They did accept the generous gifts, but their moral compass was indeed skewed.

But this doesn't mean they would actually submit a report directly to the upper echelons of parliament based solely on Terence's few words.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving.

If you haven't even been to the scene, and you just write a report on the ancient beast uprising and spiritual energy tide, what if the council higher-ups find any clues later?

Those two special envoys in charge of the inspection will definitely be in deep trouble.

In this world, greed for money is acceptable, but life is more important.

Thinking of this, the gaunt envoy tapped the armrest, stared into Terence's eyes, and slowly said, "Patriarch Terence, what you said is reasonable."

"It is indeed unfortunate that your Lucia family has produced such a daring and rebellious daughter."

"However, since we are parliamentary inspectors and represent the highest will, we cannot just listen to your side of the story."

The man next to him chimed in with a smile, "Yes, Patriarch Terence. We appreciate this generous gift, but rules are rules."

"We have to do a good job on the tasks assigned to us from above. Since you said that the ancient beast uprising in the Dark Star System was caused by a spiritual energy tide, the fluctuations should have subsided by now, right?"

Terence's heart sank slightly, but he maintained his humble smile and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"The two special envoys are absolutely right; the rules must not be broken."

"I wonder what the two gentlemen mean?"

"It's simple. Assign us the fastest starships or teleportation arrays. We want to go to the edge of the Dark Obsidian System, the epicenter of the battle fluctuations, to take a look ourselves."

"Once it's confirmed that the area is indeed, as you say, a wasteland and dark matter fog!"

"We will naturally produce a flawless closing report and will absolutely not cause any trouble for the Ashmerkham."

Upon hearing this request, Terrence's smiling face instantly froze.

"Your Excellency, this...this might be inappropriate."

At this point, Terence's forehead broke out in a light sweat.

However, this wasn't an act; he knew all too well what a terrifying place the Dark Star System was right now.

"What's wrong? Is Patriarch Terence feeling guilty?"

However, his expression alerted the two men, and their tone instantly turned serious: "Or were you just spouting nonsense?"

"Patriarch Terence, don't blame me for not warning you."

"If we investigate ourselves and find out something different from what you just said, the entire Starfall Divine Realm will be in deep trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Terence immediately shook his head and waved his hand, explaining, "No, no, no! The two envoys have misunderstood!"

"I have uttered not a single falsehood to the parliament!"

"However... that Dark Star System is far too dangerous right now. You two may not know, but that black mist is extremely violent, and the spatial laws within it are completely broken."

"The three reconnaissance fleets dispatched by our Divine Court were almost torn to shreds by the residual annihilation power just as they approached the edge of the black mist."

At this point, a look of shock appeared in Terrence's eyes.

After all, that kind of power.

It's simply beyond the reach of beings at their level of existence.

"If I were to accompany you two lords there, and you were to suffer any injury at the edge of that black mist, even if our entire Lucia family were to perish, we still couldn't afford to compensate for it!"

"For the sake of your two precious daughters, perhaps it's best not to take any risks?"

However, the more Terrence resisted and the more terrifying the black fog sounded, the deeper their doubts became.

In their view, this was simply Terence exaggerating to prevent their investigation.

"Oh……"

The gaunt envoy chuckled, a look of disdain on his face: "Patriarch Terence... have you been staying in remote star systems for too long, and now you really think you've witnessed all the dangers of the universe?"

As he said this, he stood up, and a terrifying aura belonging to a high-level professional instantly erupted from his body.

"We are special envoys of the Interstellar Council, and we have traversed more divine realms than you have ever seen planets."

"What kind of spatial turbulence haven't we seen?"

"What kind of forbidden zones in the starry sky haven't we ventured into? A mere patch of black mist from the remnants of an ancient beast's self-destruction—does it think it can swallow us whole?"

"So... put away your bluffing tricks."

"After all, the wrath of the council is a thousand times more terrifying than that laughable black fog you speak of."

"Now, immediately set up a teleportation array, and we'll head to the battlefield! If you dare obstruct us again, I'll report this directly to the council and declare your Starfall Divine Realm guilty of treacherous intentions!"

At this point, the atmosphere in the reception room had become extremely tense.

Two rows of fully armed Judgment Knights had even placed their hands on their weapons.

Faced with this threat that was almost a complete breakdown in relations, Terence knew that he had no way out.

If we continue to stubbornly insist on this, the lie will be exposed immediately.

"Well... since the two special envoys insist on going, I dare not say anything more."

Terence sighed heavily: "I only hope that when we arrive, the two of you will heed the advice of our Divine Court navigator and not force your way into that black fog."

Then, he turned to his trusted aide: "Lance!"

Upon hearing this, Lance quickly stepped forward and bowed to Terence's side: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and contact the head of the Ozheimer family."

"Tell him that the two special envoys from the council are going to inspect the Dark Obsidian System in person. Have him immediately open the access teleportation array leading to the Feathered Spirit Hub."

"We'll be there shortly."

"Understood, I will take care of it immediately."

Lance understood immediately, glanced at the two high-ranking envoys out of the corner of his eye, and then bowed and left the room.

With Lance gone, the atmosphere in the reception room eased slightly.

Terence's face regained its warm smile, as if the argument had never happened.

"Patriarch Terence, there's no need to be so nervous. Our council has always followed the rules."

"As long as your Ashmerkrin does not harbor any unforgivable sinners, nor conceal any catastrophe."

"Once we've finished our inspection, everything will naturally calm down."

"That's natural, that's natural."

Terence echoed in agreement, but a cold glint flashed deep in his eyes: "With two such discerning individuals, we, the entire Divine Court, can rest assured."
