"Lord Cardinal," Maitreya immediately bowed politely. It took a moment for everybody to process the fact that a humanoid cat suddenly appeared before them, but after hearing the respect and reverence in their Saint's voice, everybody — including Wang Wei — followed soon.
"Be at ease," the Time Cardinal calmly stated. Wang Wei had a terrible feeling, but he forced himself not to react. He also fully applied his Mind Protection Technique.
"Is there something I can do for you?" Maitreya asked.
"I'm here on the order of Grand Dao," Time Cardinal calmly stated as a token with the characters for "conscription" materialized on his paw-fingers. "Maitreya, Kong, and Wang Wei — you have been formally conscripted for Operation Dark Gate. In exactly 10,000 Yuan Epoch from this day, we will attack the Infinite Divine Court's timeline NP89076H. And before you ask, no, you cannot reject. Anyone who refuses will be exiled from the Primordial Timeline."
