"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Anya was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.

"Anya, as you know, the power of the ancient rulers far exceeds our understanding."

Terence paused for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before slowly saying, "A confrontation of that level cannot be completely ended overnight."

"But we tend to believe that the boy who held the power of the past has not perished. He may have exhausted his strength in the great battle with Zogra and is currently in a deep slumber in the black mist to recover!"

"Or perhaps..."

Terrence paused, then lowered his voice, "He devoured Zogra's true form, seized the authority of the Old Gods, and is currently undergoing some incredible advancement in that absolute realm!"

Anya raised an eyebrow upon hearing this speculation.

Devouring the Old Gods?

Advanced?

Obviously, this statement is a bit of an exaggeration.

It should be noted that the power Gu Xu displayed was already exaggerated enough.

If he really does devour the old gods.

When Gu Xu emerges from the black mist again, how powerful will he be?

"But no matter what the truth is, one thing is beyond doubt."

Before Anya could react, Terence continued, his tone becoming extremely respectful: "Lord Gu Xu single-handedly blocked Zogra's arrival; he is a hero who saved our entire Starfall Divine Realm."

"We, Ashmerkrin, will forever remember this kindness."

"Therefore, after emergency consultations among the six ruling families, we have reached a consensus to fulfill your agreement with Lord Gu Xu as quickly as possible and provide full support to the Blue Star plane!"

Hearing her father Terence's words, Anya's expression remained largely unchanged.

But deep down, I knew exactly what was going on.

In the past, it would have been astonishing to hear that Ashmerkrin and his gang of stingy misers were actually willing to empty their coffers to aid a remote, low-level plane.

Anya would definitely think there was something wrong with her ears.

Or perhaps these family heads have all taken the wrong medicine.

After all, those old foxes in the Divine Court wouldn't act until they saw a clear benefit.

Let alone giving away resources for free, even if they manage to get a scrap of food through their fingers, it would still require several rounds of exchanges and calculations.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Clearly, the terrifying power Gu Xu displayed in that divine battle, or rather, the boundless black mist that directly devoured the entire Dark Star System, was immense.

This has shattered the understanding of these Divine Court rulers.

They don't actually want to help Earth.

They were clearly frantically buying insurance for themselves, and were doing so to Gu Xu, whose fate was uncertain but who had most likely already achieved some kind of miraculous advancement.

Submit a sincere pledge of allegiance!

However, this can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Although the Divine Court was unaware of Gu Xu's current situation, they couldn't even get close to the black mist.

But at least, it's not like there's absolutely no news.

As long as that black mist remains, and as long as that annihilation rule that makes the entire Starfall Divine Realm tremble is still in operation, it means that Lord Gu Xu has not perished.

Thinking of this, Anya's heart finally calmed down a little.

"Anya..."

Just as Anya was pondering to herself, Terence in the holographic projection suddenly coughed twice, and the expression on his face became somewhat unnatural.

There was even a hint of awkwardness in it.

"Father, is there anything else you need?"

Anya looked up and clearly noticed her father's unusual behavior.

Terence rubbed his hands together, sighed, and said with a hint of helplessness, "There's one more thing I need to tell you in advance. You should be prepared."

"Please speak."

"That's how it is..."

Terence's gaze flickered slightly: "In order to cover up the true situation in the star field and deal with the special envoys sent by the Star Council, our major families had no choice but to unify our statements."

"We have classified your previous emergency broadcast to the Divine Realm as... well, because the situation on the front lines is tense, you were slightly frightened, which led to you falsely reporting military information and spreading panic."

Upon hearing this, Anya's lips twitched involuntarily.

False military intelligence? Spreading panic?

Good heavens, he risked being torn to pieces by the old gods' kin, fighting desperately on the front lines, and only activated the emergency broadcast in order to preserve the flame of the Starfall Divine Realm.

But in the mouths of these old guys, she turned out to be an ignorant girl who was terrified by a few bugs?

Seeing his daughter's increasingly speechless expression, Terence blushed and quickly added, "Of course, that's just what we say to outsiders!"

"It's to shut those dogs in the Star Council up!"

"To make the charade more convincing, the family has already issued an official document, temporarily suspending your position as Governor of the Libra Nexus."

"Anya, I hope you can understand the family's predicament. If the Star Council finds out about Lord Gu Xu's existence, then the entire Starfall Divine Realm will truly never have peace again."

Anya quietly looked at her father in the holographic projection, and the slight dissatisfaction in her heart vanished.

Of course she knows what's important and what's urgent.

Compared to the survival of the entire Starfall Divine Realm, what does the empty title of governor matter?

Moreover, his broadcast had indeed caused considerable panic among the lower classes of the entire divine realm, and someone had to take the blame.

As a direct descendant of the Terence family, it was most appropriate for her to take the blame.

"I understand, Father."

Anya nodded calmly. "I understand the family's decision."

Seeing that Anya was so understanding, Terence nodded slightly.

He looked at his daughter with satisfaction, his eyes full of praise: "Good child, I'm sorry you had to go through this. But don't worry, this is just a temporary measure. Once things calm down, the family will definitely compensate you doubly."

"So, during this period, although you no longer hold the position of governor, your power has actually increased."

Terence's expression turned serious, and his tone became extremely solemn: "Regarding the comprehensive assistance plan for the Blue Star plane, the Divine Court has decided to entrust you with the overall coordination and takeover."

"After all, at present, you are the only contact person that His Excellency Gu Xu trusts."

"The first batch of aid resources has been loaded and is en route to Earth via a secret route."

At this point, Terence's eyes revealed a rare tenderness: "Anya, you must take good care of yourself while you're out there alone."

"If you encounter any difficulties, contact your family at any time. Our entire Ashmerkrt is now your strong support."

"I understand, Father. Please take care of yourself."

As Anya nodded slightly, the blue holographic beam flickered twice and slowly went out.
