"Diviner! Diviner! Something big has happened! Something big has happened!"
The Shéncè府, the highest center of power governing the Xianzhou Luofu.
Qing Zu ran into the mansion in a panic. This Foxian Strategist, usually dignified and wise, was now uncharacteristically flustered.
"What's the panic? Although General Jing Yuan is visiting Xianzhou Zhu Ming, and Luofu is short one Emissary. But with me acting as General, Luofu won't fall from the starry sea, will it?"
Fu Xuan tossed aside her half-drunk cup of Immortal's Happy Tea, watching the flustered Qing Zu. She sighed inwardly. It wasn't easy for Jing Yuan to be away on business, allowing her to manage the Shéncè府's affairs. Although it was only acting as General, it was a small dream come true.
At a time like this, someone was trying to cause trouble for her?
"Calm yourself and explain everything clearly to me."
Fu Xuan was quite certain that this incident would be a false alarm. The Matrix of Prescience of the Divination Commission and her own Dharma Eye on her forehead hadn't issued any warnings, so it couldn't be a major event concerning Luofu's survival.
"Hoo~ Diviner, this is bad."
Qing Zu took a deep breath, barely calming herself down, and finally said, "Diviner, a Curio Dumpster specialty store has opened in Chang Le Tian!"
"Curio Dumpster..."
The pink-haired loli covered her forehead with one hand, utterly speechless. Besides the Trailblazer of the Astral Express, would anyone else be so fixated on Curio Dumpsters? And an elite Strategist from the Shéncè府 at that? How did Jing Yuan usually manage his subordinates?!
"Selling such filthy items is indeed rare, but how can it be considered a big deal?"
"It is a big deal! Someone, someone opened a Curio Dumpster and became an Emissary!" Qing Zu hastily said, "Those Curio Dumpsters are quite expensive. Customers pay to buy the 'trash' inside. But someone opened a Curio Dumpster and instantly received the gaze of an Aeon, becoming an Emissary!"
"Everyone present felt the aura brought by the Aeon's glance, as if they saw a shadowy figure holding a mask materialize in the universe."
"How is this possible!" Fu Xuan slammed her hand on the table, immediately realizing the gravity of the situation.
One must know that even a Pathstrider can gain power far exceeding that of ordinary people.
And an Emissary, far surpassing ordinary people on their Path, possesses immeasurable power.
Even a cosmic giant like the Interstellar Peace Corporation only has two Emissaries: Diamond and Keen.
Aventurine, Topaz, Jade, and others, who have only received a fraction of Diamond's power, can dominate countless star systems.
Furthermore, even a powerful Xianzhou, the land where the Aeon of The Hunt once emerged, with its strong will to follow the Aeon's will and firm determination to tread the Path, far surpasses other places. Yet, it can only ensure that most of the time, each Xianzhou has one Emissary.
Even as strong as the Stellaron Hunters, whose slave of destiny, Elio, can see parts of the future, and several members possess planet-destroying abilities, still have no Emissary presiding over them.
The Annihilation Gang wreaks havoc wherever they go, leaving trails of smoke and destruction, all just to gain a glance from the Destruction Aeon, yet they never succeed.
It can be said that having one Emissary can create a top-tier force in the universe!
And to receive a glance from an Aeon is incredibly difficult.
But today, someone became an Emissary by opening a Curio Dumpster?
This isn't just opening a Curio Dumpster; this isn't even a joke!
What kind of Path emerges from a Curio Dumpster?
If this Path goes deep, will he transform into a giant Curio Dumpster radiating dazzling golden light?
The only possibility, perhaps, is that the Aeon of Elation would do something so illogical.
But Aha has lived for so many years, has he never seen a Curio Dumpster?
Fu Xuan calmed herself. She understood that she must treat this matter with utmost seriousness. She looked at Qing Zu and said in a deep voice, "Did you witness this yourself, or is it hearsay?"
"Absolutely not hearsay."
"Tell me everything, down to the smallest detail, without missing anything." The destructive power of an Emissary can be great or small. If not handled properly, it could be even more dangerous than a Stellaron disaster.
One must know that Huàn Lóng, the mastermind behind the Jianmu's revival, is also an Emissary. And now, Luofu has no Emissary presiding over it, nor the help of the Astral Express.
Fu Xuan forced herself to calm down, but the desire for Jing Yuan to return quickly inevitably arose. This was the only time in her life... "Diviner, just a moment ago, a Curio Dumpster shop in Chang Le Tian publicly declared: 'Do you want the most precious treasures in the entire universe? If you want them, I can give them all to you! Go find them! I've put all the treasures in the Curio Dumpsters.'"
Qing Zu vividly imitated the shop owner's tone, not daring to omit a single detail.
"This..."
Fu Xuan's eye twitched. Could such an exaggerated advertisement really be uttered?
But then, a flash of inspiration struck her, and her heart almost skipped a beat: that boss was in the know. Getting an Aeon's gaze from opening a Curio Dumpster wasn't a coincidence; that person orchestrated it.
She activated her Dharma Eye, wanting to use her infinite thinking capacity to find the flaw in it.
After all, an existence that can create an Emissary... isn't that an Aeon?!
It was simply unimaginable.
"And then someone received the Aeon's gaze?"
"Yes, although most passersby were mocking the shop owner, someone finally volunteered, bought a Curio Dumpster, and then opened it on the spot."
Qing Zu said, "Then, the Aeon's gaze, accompanied by a strange and powerful force, suddenly descended, truly as if summoned by the Curio Dumpster."
Indeed!
Fu Xuan abruptly stood up and, without another word, stepped out of the Shéncè府.
Indeed, the Aeon's gaze was being manipulated.
"Diviner." Qing Zu quickly stood up and hastily said, "Are you going to find that Emissary? Or should we go with people from the Ten-Lords Commission? If that newly appointed Emissary is emotionally unstable, it could be dangerous for you..."
Fu Xuan waved her hand: "This matter must be handled by me personally. Too many people cannot be brought. Moreover, the Emissary is secondary; what's important is..."
That Curio Dumpster shop owner is unfathomable. Treating him rashly as a crisis could easily lead to greater disaster.
She must personally investigate that person's background.
"However, you're right. Notify the Cloud Knights, the Ten-Lords Commission, the Sky-Faring Commission, the Divination Commission, and other departments."
"Oh!" Qing Zu's heart tightened. With such a large formation, it seemed the Diviner was going all out to capture that Emissary in one fell swoop.
She looked at Fu Xuan with a solemn expression, waiting only for her command to order Luofu to deploy its forces, sending out all its elites.
But she didn't know that Fu Xuan's thoughts were far more profound than hers: "All departments are to remain still; there must be no disturbance to the public. If anyone from the Luofu officialdom inquires about this matter... just say the situation is unclear, don't believe rumors, and don't spread them."
"Huh?"
As Fu Xuan hastily left the Shéncè府 and rushed to the scene.
Next to the gossip square in Chang Le Tian, at the entrance of a shop with a "Curio Dumpster" banner, people were bustling.
People of all kinds surrounded the shop, making it impenetrable.
"Dude, is it real or fake? Can you get an Aeon's gaze by opening a Curio Dumpster? Don't you have to go far on a Path to do that? You came early, tell us, brothers."
"Fake, right? If that were true, why couldn't I become an Emissary by flushing a toilet? Emissaries would be a dime a dozen then."
"Exactly, that's an Emissary! Our Luofu only has General Jing Yuan as an Emissary."
"Hehe, you guys are late. I saw it with my own eyes. The moment that person opened the Curio Dumpster, there were truly rays of light and auspicious colors, as if I wasn't in Luofu at all, but in the starry sea! That Aeon's figure was truly towering, even more magnificent than General Jing Yuan's Divine General!"
"The gray-haired woman who opened the Curio Dumpster was so shocked she couldn't speak. But she truly lived up to being an Emissary; we were all scared stiff by that scene, couldn't even stand steady. But she acted as if nothing happened, except for the shock."
Behind the crowd, a red-haired woman held a phone in one hand and gestured with the other towards the camera.
"Families, do you see? That newly appointed Emissary is Xiao Gui Zi's close friend."
"She is also a Nameless of the Astral Express, a distinguished guest of Xianzhou who saved Luofu with the General."
"Families, please help like and subscribe! Xiao Gui Zi has the complete recording of that time. I'll give you a Xiao Gui Zi live stream watching Xiao Gui Zi film the Emissary!"
