Chapter 495: Undercurrents
--
Things looked normal...on the surface at least.
The Northwestern Border Patrol Guardian Camp operated like usual. Still busy, hectic, and orderly. But underneath this was a raging undercurrents and plans being set into motion.
And this wasn’t just limited here. The entirety of the Border Patrol Guardians was on the move. Everybody was contributing to things that most of them didn’t know of yet.
In fact, this activity even stretched all the way to the alliance itself, because whether they like it or not, the alliance will be affected in all of this. Of course, they aren’t informed completely. Only a handful of people knew, and these people were trusted enough not to spread this news just yet.
The most affected party was obviously the Wise Dragon Clan. So much so that they entered the pre-war state. Their movements were obscured from the public eye, but it’s definitely happening.
Unlike others, the Wise Dragon Chancellor can’t hide the death of the young patriarch. Since the dragon clan is only so few in numbers, each death is a loss to them, and they’ve set up a system that informs them whenever a clanmate of theirs dies.
Even before learning of the reason behind the death of the young patriarch, the whole clan already learned of his death, so it’s impossible for the Chancellor to fool them. And so, he decided to come clean instead.
The death of their young patriarch stoked the buried aggression of the Wise Dragons as a whole.
One must know that the Young Dragon Patriarch was beloved by his clan. He was their most promising child, one that was supported by everybody and acknowledged as their next leader.
His exploits in the early days of his youth are what propelled him to the position. It is his sincerity that moved the hearts of his fellow dragons, and it was his wisdom that made him acknowledged by all.
He had such a bright future ahead of him. So much so that the Wise Dragons already anticipated the renaissance he’ll bring to the clan.
Yet, it’s because of his character that he died even before he reached his full potential.
The entire clan not only mourned for his death. They are also willing to follow the Wise Dragon Chancellor to march into the void to make it pay for what it did to this child.
But as creatures that are known for their wisdom, they can’t be reckless about this. There’s only so much of them around; yes, all of them are powerful, but they also have to ensure that the clan will live on.
That’s why they’re entering the pre-war state right now. They’re making sufficient preparations and planning ahead just in case.
He’s hoping to experience his 1st Transition before the war comes.
Of course, he didn’t forget to check in with his family from time to time through the Virtual Universe.
Fortunately, they are all doing well. His wives were having fun exploring the prosperity and abundance of the Scarlet Dust Alliance. They’re even starting to make a name for themselves.
His children were the same. They’ve outgrown Prime Earth and are now exploring the alliance in their own leisure either.
Cedric’s attention was mostly focused on Godwyn, though not because he’s his favorite, but because Godwyn inherited his position as Solaris Prime’s Governor.
So far, Godwyn’s proving his decision right. The child had taken up the role like a fish in the sea. He has exceeded his expectations, making the growth of Solaris Prime enter a faster pace since he began his reign.
Godwyn has made friends and had close connections in the alliance. It wasn’t a gigantic network, but it’s decent enough to support him. Hell, he’s working closely with other governors like him.
These connections allowed him to learn more from their experience and apply it to his work as the governor. He enlisted the help of some terraforming companies in the alliance to help with the development of Solaris Prime, something that Cedric never even considered during his reign.
Because of this, almost all of the passable planets and realms in the Solaris Prime had been terraformed and are now ready for further development.
Godwyn then started sending out people to populate these worlds, connecting them to Prime Earth using the Sacred Celestial Tree and building a tight network as the frame for the better future of humanity.
Additionally, he began introducing the Virtual Universe to a few chosen people. While humans were still considered a reclusive race for now, they’re not really banned from interacting with other species.
But of course, those who will establish contact should be smart ones. They have to follow the rules set by Godwyn because humanity isn’t ready to step into the limelight just yet.
Their focus is still in development, so until their expected goal is achieved, humanity will continue to be a reclusive race.
But of course, in the end, personal strength was still more convincing. And to this extent, his children were not faring too badly, already reaching the mid-stages of the Planetary Realm in Life Evolution. This level of strength is still rare to humanity, especially for someone as young as they are, so really, everything was going well.

It’s because of this that Cedric was able to leave them with a peace of mind. If things were to continue this way, it shouldn’t take too long before humanity could step into the limelight.
Of course, that’s under the assumption that everything continues to be this peaceful.
