Meanwhile, at Arclight University, in a pavilion on the rear mountain of Enlightenment Peak.
The headmaster, dressed in a simple, elegant robe with hair as white as snow, sat upright before a stone table.
Several translucent screens floated before him, scrolling in real-time with battle reports, resource allocation information, and anomalous energy monitoring data from all across Blue Star.
A cup of clear tea rested at his side, its fragrance wafting gently, yet his expression was as tranquil as an abyss.
Suddenly, one of the screens flashed with a piercing red light. A top-level, encrypted emergency message from Mountain Rain Pass popped up, bearing just a few short words:
"Ten Kings attacking, seven hidden! Urgent aid required!"
The pupils of the white-haired headmaster, who had been as calm as still water, suddenly contracted.
The next second, tiny ripples appeared on the surface of his tea, and the liquid instantly froze solid.
He shot to his feet.
