"Strange, strange, how utterly peculiar!"
In the Seat of Divine Foresight, Jing Yuan paced back and forth in front of the desk. After a while, he sat back down in the general's chair.
But not long after, the General of the Divine Foresight stood up again, pacing restlessly as if venting the doubts swirling in his mind.
"Why is there no news of Dan Feng? He's clearly returned to the Xianzhou and revealed himself as the Vidyadhara Dragon Sovereign. How strange, how strange!"
After who-knows-how-long, Jing Yuan finally stopped pacing and stood still. The General of the Divine Foresight murmured to himself unconsciously.
Could someone have taken him?
The thought suddenly crossed Jing Yuan's mind, but he quickly shook his head.
Though his strength might not match that of the mightiest Emanators, as an immortal descendant, the Vidyadhara Dragon Sovereign's power was undoubtedly among the top tier of Pathstriders. It was impossible for someone to abduct him without a trace.
As Jing Yuan furrowed his brows, deep in thought, a terrifying aura suddenly pulsed within his perception. In an instant, our General Jing Yuan's nerves tensed.
Summoning 'Shifu Mengshen', Jing Yuan's figure flickered, and in the next moment, he appeared high above the Seat of Divine Foresight.
There, in what had been a calm and clear sky, an orange-red vortex had inexplicably appeared. Clouds were being drawn into it, forming a phenomenon resembling a fiery sunset.
Looking down, Jing Yuan saw that on the bustling streets of the Luofu, many residents had stopped in their tracks, pointing at the 'fiery clouds' in the sky and discussing it animatedly.
Of course, most were merely spectating, but some were curious or even fearful, such as…
"Hey, hey! Can you see this, folks? Your streamer is currently in Aurum Alley on the Xianzhou Luofu, the most famous food street here!"
"Here, you can truly experience the cultural heritage of the Xianzhou, spanning thousands upon thousands of years…"
"Come on, dear viewers, give your generous hands a shake and follow Little Gui!"
With passion and flair, Little Gui introduced Aurum Alley, covering everything from its historical and cultural significance to its legends, cuisines, attractions, and traditional architecture, leaving nothing out.
Midway through her commentary, feeling a bit parched, Little Gui unscrewed her water bottle, took a sip, and wiped the sweat from her forehead before preparing to continue.
Her gaze casually glanced over the 'viewer count', and she was about to resume her work when something caught her attention. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly grabbed the jade token used for streaming.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions… 1.1 million?!"
Seeing the live viewer count, Little Gui's eyes nearly popped out of her head. 1.1 million concurrent viewers!
Even in a universe teeming with countless people, those who actually had the time to watch streams were relatively few.
Moreover, with a vast population came an equally vast number of streamers.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that even for major streamers with tens of millions of followers, having a few hundred thousand concurrent viewers was already an impressive feat.
And for someone like Little Gui, with only a few tens of thousands of followers, who usually scraped by performing for a living, this was unheard of!
I'm gonna blow up! Little Gui thought gleefully, her heart bursting with excitement as she threw herself even more energetically into introducing the history of Aurum Alley for her viewers.
However, a few minutes into her continued commentary, several green rockets shot up across the screen. Seeing this, Little Gui hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you, Big Bro Cai Kun, for sending the Luofu No. 1! Little Gui will work even harder to bring you all the best content about the Luofu, and I absolutely won't let you down…"
As Little Gui was giving her thanks, a shimmering golden subtitle suddenly flashed across the screen.
"Shut up already and move the camera to the sky behind you. We're not here to watch you!"
Reading the big shot's words, Little Gui froze for a moment. After staring at the screen a bit longer, she noticed the barrage of comments uniformly demanding that she point the camera at the sky behind her.
Puzzled, Little Gui wondered what was so interesting about the sky… until she turned around. Holy—!
At some point, a massive red vortex had appeared in the once-calm sky.
While it wasn't exactly world-encompassing or sky-obscuring, it was undeniably a spectacle. In all her years living on the Luofu, she had never seen anything like it.
"W-what the heck is that?" Shocked by the bizarre phenomenon, Little Gui stammered, her voice trembling. Still, she didn't forget to follow her viewers' requests, pointing the jade token's camera at the sky's spectacle.
Meanwhile, in the live stream chat…
"Whoa, what is that thing? A fiery cloud? I've never seen one like that before!"
"Upstairs, have you lost your mind? Based on the Luofu's time, it's not even evening yet. Where would a fiery cloud come from in the middle of the day?"
"This phenomenon is really bizarre. This old man has never seen anything like it. Is this really on the Xianzhou Luofu?"
"Heh, I haven't seen it either. That's it—my next geographical survey destination is set for the Luofu!"
"Upstairs, technically speaking, the Luofu is a giant spaceship. Doing a geographical survey on a spaceship? You're a damn genius!"
"…"
The live stream chat buzzed with a lively atmosphere, as viewers from countless planets across the universe eagerly discussed the strange phenomenon on the Luofu.
The audience chatted tirelessly, with an impressively high retention rate.
Perhaps noticing this, the Interastral Peace Corporation, the streaming platform's operator, precisely boosted Little Gui's stream with a wave of traffic. Within just a few minutes, her concurrent viewers broke through the 3 million mark, surging toward 5 million.
I'm gonna blow up! Seeing the viewer count on her screen, Little Gui's heart surged with boundless excitement. Though she didn't know what that vortex was, if it could bring her profit, she absolutely couldn't let this opportunity slip!
"Ahem, folks, actually…" Clearing her throat slightly, Little Gui prepared to interact with her audience, hoping to stabilize her stream's popularity while subtly fishing for some gifts.
After all, performing for a living meant most people loved to mooch, and her household was already on the verge of running dry.
But just as Little Gui was about to speak, a purple-gold barrage message slowly drifted across the screen, making her pupils shrink.
