I alone am the Honoured One!

*swoosh* Zhao Tian dashed towards space and glanced at the large ark that was slowly drifting towards Earth.

Recognizing Zhao Tian, the ark's pace slowed a bit and Zhao Tian floated towards the front deck of the ark.

*swish* The deck's door slid open and as Zhao Tian entered in, a guard standing there gestured his hand "This way, Mr.Zhao Tian..."

Zhao Tian glanced around the interior and saw that this ark was quite different from the previous ones that have seen.

The guard quickly escorted Zhao Tian to the front deck and as he entered, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.

The room buzzed with activity as nearly twenty people were working at the panels and consoles, their hands moving rapidly over glowing screens as they maintained the ark's systems.

There he saw Zarek Talon speaking with two men, one of them was an old man wearing a research coat while the other was a middle-aged man wearing a sleek black cloak.

Noticing Zhao Tian, Zarek Talon smiled faintly "Mr.Tian, welcome aboard.."

Zhao Tian showed a polite smile and walked to him "Mr.Zalek..."

Zarek Talon gestured to the other two men "Allow me to introduce them. This is Kristian Jarred, one of the powerful Retainers in my command."

"And this is Herman Claus one of the lead researchers in our star."

"It's a pleasure to meet you.."

"No, the pleasure is mine."

Zhao Tian reached out and shook their hands in a formal manner.

Glancing at Zhao Tian, Zarek Talon spoke "Mr.Tian, as we agreed we will teach your people about the technology and give protection."

Zhao Tian gave a faint nod and smiled at them "Come and take a seat... we can talk further."

...

The ark glided smoothly through the Earth's atmosphere, descending over the dense forests surrounding Zhenzhu.

The view from the control room's wide windows was breathtaking, a sweeping sea of green, broken only by the construction work underway below.

Looking through the ark's window, Zarek Talon glanced at all the construction work happening around Zhenzhu.

As per Ning Xue's idea, the forests surrounding Zhenzhu will be cleared and rebuilt to occupy the 'awakeners' of this Earth.

This is not only for them but also for the new people from Ebon Luohe who will be settling here.

Zarek Talon let out a soft sigh and glanced over at Zhao Tian "By the way, Mr. Tian, you mentioned that you were dissolving the Zhenzhu royal family... has it been done?"

Zhao Tian nodded calmly. "Yes. It has already been disbanded. The sects have taken over now, and the authority has been passed into their hands. Zhenzhu is no longer ruled by a single lineage."

"As we agreed, we can form an organization with people from both forces as top rank."

Zarek Talon raised an eyebrow and muttered "Hm... and so, I thought of a new name for this organization. Let it be Zhenluo organization."

Eh? Zhao Tian stared at him blankly 'Did he take Zhen from Zhenzhu and Luo from Ebon Luohe for this name?'

Letting out a soft chuckle, Zhao Tian asked "Is Lyra the one who came up with the name?"

Wha- Zarek Talon was dumbfounded to hear this "How did you..."

Zhao Tian laughed softly, shaking his head. "I just had a feeling. It sounds like something she would suggest."

Hearing his laugh, Zarek Talon was quite embarrassed and tried to cough it off to hide it "Uhm.. yeah it was her who came with this name. A bit simplistic, don't you think?"

"Childish, even," Zhao Tian teased, grinning

Zarek Talon slightly glanced around at the people in the control room and saw that everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

His image as a powerful Emperor is going down the mud because Zhao Tian is teasing him so openly.

With a dry smile, Zarek Talon trying to save face, leaned in and whispered "Um, Mr.Tian... can you stop teasing me... you see, I am a powerful Emperor of an Apex High Star."

Zhao Tian nodded his head "Of course, of course. I wouldn't dream of damaging your reputation as the mighty Emperor of Ebon Luohe."

Hearing this, Zarek Talon sighed with a smile "Good..."

Zhao Tian was amazed as he thought Zarek Talon was kind of a strict guy, but rather he is quite funny to talk to.

As the massive ark hovered above the clearing, preparing to land, Zhao Tian asked in a faint voice "And how is Lyra, Mr.Talon?"

Zarek Talon rolled his eyes at him "Are you eyeing my daughter... Mr.Tian?"

Shrugging his hands casually, Zhao Tian replied "Maybe..."

Zarek Talon's lips twitched but an amused smile came upon his lips seeing Zhao Tian's confidence "You are a cheeky brat.."

"Oh, some people say that... thank you."

"It is not a compliment, you brat..."

Kristian Jarred and Herman Claus were surprised to see their Emperor talk to the young man so carefreely.

They have known Zarek Talon for many years now and he only talks to his daughter like this but it seems like this young man is good friends with him.

"No wonder... I am honestly surprised when His Highness said he would come with us to the star."

"Seems like the kid is his friend."

"Then we also have to show our respects."

...

*tap* Zhao Tian, Kristian Jarred, and Herman Claus were walking through the large building in Zhenzhu and they quickly entered a big conference room-like setting.

As they entered, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Tian and stood up to greet him.

The room itself was vast, shaped like a massive amphitheater, with an enormous circular table in the center where the most important people sat.

Surrounding them were tiered seating areas for advisors, officers, and assistants.

The Sect masters of top sects in Zhenzhu, the world leaders and faction leaders all across the globe, and leading researchers in the world were all seated there.

Before the meeting commenced, Herman Claus, leaned over to Zhao Tian. "Mr. Tian, shall I begin bringing the researchers back to the ark?"

That enormous ark will be staying on Earth from now on for protection purposes and to teach about technological advancement.

Zhao Tian nodded thoughtfully, gesturing with a casual wave of his hand "Go on, Mr.Claus."

After a bit of talking, Hermes Claus brought the bunch of scientists and researchers back to the ark.

Kristian Jarred is one of the strongest Retainers and under him, he has 10 squads totally consisting of thousand people.

They will be also staying in Earth from now on for protection purposes and while some will be dispatched along with the cultivators on this Earth to teach new awakeners and help the Earth to grow.

Days are really going to be hectic for a while, it seems...
