As the starlight faded, dawn broke, and the world gradually brightened, revealing a clear sky, everyone slowly stood up.
"Today, we were fortunate enough to meet the great My Lord Kassadin."
"Those who went back for the New Year will surely regret it if they knew what they missed."
"But there's nothing that can be done. They planned to come the next day, and no one expected the great Void God Kassadin to appear."
Excitement that had not yet faded was visible on everyone's faces as they happily chatted.
Then, some people thanked Sonia, for her willingness to introduce them to Mr. Kassadin.
"No need to thank me. It was your piety that moved My Lord Kassadin, allowing My Lord Kassadin to descend upon this place."
Sonia smiled slightly and said softly when she heard this.
Instead, she had to thank these people. Mr. Kassadin decided to spend the New Year on Xandar after learning of their intentions.
She was also unaware of the side Mr. Kassadin had just revealed.
She only knew that Mr. Kassadin told her to make the announcement at the specified time.
This time, Mr. Kassadin let the members of the Void God Cult know that their prayers and offerings had all been seen.
This was undoubtedly the best gift for the many members of the Void God Cult.
"My Lord Kassadin has already felt your piety."
"Therefore, everyone, please divide the many foods you brought. This is My Lord Kassadin's instruction."
Immediately, Sonia looked at the crowd who had not yet left and spoke.
This was not Sonia's random fabrication, but rather an instruction given to her by Mr. Kassadin when he learned that these people intended to offer not only food but also money.
All she did was convey Mr. Kassadin's will.
"Thank My Lord Kassadin for his generosity!"
Although Miss Sonia only mentioned food and said nothing about the money offered, no one felt any dissatisfaction.
Afterward, Sonia also left. As for the money, it would not be too late to collect it slowly after the New Year.
In a few days, Mr. Kassadin planned to leave, and the departure time seemed to be quite long.
Therefore, Sonia also hoped to see Mr. Kassadin's true form as much as possible, rather than communicating through the Universe Communicator.
After knowing that all these foods could be eaten, many members also began to divide the food.
Then, they scattered into small groups.
Tony, Renoli, Kyle, Prophet, and Lacey gathered together and chatted.
Renoli asked Tony about his hometown, C53.
Tony naturally introduced Blue Planet, stating that the environment was similar to Xandar, but the technology was not as advanced as Xandar.
He introduced the characteristics of various countries on Blue Planet, but mainly mentioned a few major countries on Blue Planet, such as America and Heavenly Dynasty.
"Blue Planet is still divided into different countries?"
"Not a united community?"
Lacey was a little surprised to hear Tony's introduction.
"Blue Planet's technology is still far from achieving free Universe travel, so they have to care about their own small plots of land."
"However, when it comes to entertainment, Blue Planet has developed quite well."
"It's better than Xandar, so there's a lot of fun stuff."
Tony also knew what surprised Lacey. In various advanced civilized Planets in the Universe, they are basically united communities, but he also knew that it would not be easy to change in a short time, and he said with a smile.
"More entertainment? If I have time, I'll go and see it."
"Will the people of Blue Planet suddenly attack me then?"
Lacey also became interested when she heard this and said jokingly.
"No, Lacey, your appearance is not far from that of humans on Blue Planet."
"Even if you go and blend directly into the crowd, no one might suspect you."
Tony heard Lacey say she wanted to go to Blue Planet and could be said to fully support it.
At that time, Lacey would be unfamiliar with the place and would definitely come to him to stay.
Since she would be staying, it would be an easy matter to ask Lacey for help with any trouble.
"Similar to the people of Xandar?"
"Then it should be fine if I go too?"
Kyle was also a little moved when he heard this.
"You and Renoli can go. As long as you don't cause trouble, there's no problem."
Tony nodded when he heard this. Kyle, over two meters tall, looked like a big guy.
However, Blue Planet is not without people over two meters tall; it's just that they are not as strong as Kyle.
"So that means there's a problem if I go?"
Prophet spoke when he saw Tony did not mention his name.
"You're fine too. It's just that your attire is a little bit fashionable on Blue Planet."
"But even if you don't change, at most, you'll just be seen as cosplay."
Tony looked at Prophet, who was wrapped in bandages and whose appearance was unclear, and spoke more tactfully.
"I understand. You're going back for a while this time."
"If you encounter any trouble and need our help, you can contact us."
"We'll rush over to help then."
Prophet understood when he heard this and spoke.
"Even if there's no need for your help, I welcome you to visit Blue Planet."
"As the host, I will take you to enjoy Blue Planet's entertainment then."
Tony smiled and said when he heard Prophet's words.
"Okay, if we go then, we'll notify you in advance."
Kyle said loudly with a smile when he heard this.
The various small groups also gathered together, eating delicious food and chatting about the future.

In Harvey's Villa.
When Sonia left the temple and returned to the Villa, she found that Mr. Kassadin had already returned, and the dining table was already filled with food.
"You sit down and eat too."
Harvey spoke when he saw Sonia's surprised look.
"Thank you, Mr. Kassadin, for the invitation."
"However, it is a bit impolite for me to sit at the same dining table as you."
Sonia was a little moved when she heard this, but reason still prevailed, and she politely declined with a smile.
"In the past, I was often alone, and celebrating the New Year just meant adding some extra dishes for myself."
"Other than that, there wasn't much difference from usual."
"This time, I want to spend the New Year here because I know you are here."
"So, on this New Year's Day, don't worry about those things. Let's sit down and eat together."
Harvey saw Sonia refuse, but he didn't mind and spoke.
"...Mm."
Sonia's beautiful face flushed slightly when she heard Mr. Kassadin's words, and she nodded.
Then she went and sat down next to Mr. Kassadin, instead of choosing to sit directly across the dining table.
Sitting in this position indicates that one's status is lower than that of the Master of the dining table.
"Sonia, you have helped me a lot over the past year or so."
"In the future, I will have to trouble you to continue looking after Void Island."
Harvey's eyes flashed when he saw Sonia did not choose to sit directly opposite him.
The initial salary he offered Sonia was only 500,000 a year, but Sonia managed daily chores so well that she made him lazy.
She was busy back and forth managing various matters of the island, which had far exceeded the effect brought by the 500,000 salary he initially offered.
Therefore, Harvey could only reward Sonia with a lot of money from time to time.
"Even if you didn't instruct me, Mr. Kassadin, I would still do so."
Sonia picked up her wine glass and said with a smile when she heard these words.
Harvey and Sonia presented a harmonious scene, and the various small groups on Void Island were also harmonious.
Even the chefs who had to prepare a large amount of food today also gathered together to stir-fry some small dishes and drink a few cups after finishing the food and resting, planning to go back to visit their parents after these few days of busy work.
And all of this stemmed from a sense of belonging to Void Island.
