After returning to the Ancestral Origin Star, Bai Fu stayed indoors for several days.

During the day, she commanded Little Bai Fu and Little Hei Fu at the factory in the Ghost Night Pure Land to produce colorful Prayer Cards and feed the Sacrificial God Scepter.

Whenever she had free time, she'd stroll down the street, and when she saw players being exploited yet smiling happily, she'd smile along with them.

Everyone has a bright future!

At night, she originally wanted to spar with the Oath Lord to bond, but these past few nights, An Ya had been delivering gifts to her room daily, each time with different packaging, and occasionally switching the packaging during the process.

Alright then, since she had nothing particularly urgent to do, sparring with An Ya was sparring, and bonding with An Ya was bonding.

Let's just go for it!

Bai Fu meticulously held an adult ceremony for An Ya.

An Ya, who used to follow her around calling her boss all the time, was still average, but she was truly an adult now.

"?"

Cipris circled around An Ya several times.

"Why does your face look unusual, it's a bit too rosy, could it be you're sick or something?"

An Ya waved her hand: "You don't know anything, what do you mean sick, it's clearly from eating too well, over-nourished."

Cipris asked curiously: "Eating too well? What did you eat, let me try some too."

An Ya looked disgusted: "No way, if you want something to eat, buy it yourself."

Cipris flapped her transparent thin wings vigorously: "Wow, how can you be so stingy, not even a bit of food for me, don't forget, I've contributed a lot to how amazing you are today!"

No matter what Cipris said, An Ya just kept refusing, making Cipris quite upset.

Until Bai Fu passed by.

"What are you arguing about?"

Cipris flew over and explained what had happened earlier.

An Ya: "..."

Bai Fu: "..."

Is that really from eating?

Bai Fu casually handed Cipris a few candies: "An Ya was teasing you, it wasn't from eating, it was from excitement, the Empire and the Supernova Battle Group are about to collaborate, in a few days the Supernova Battle Group will send over supplies, some of which you and An Ya can use."

Cipris: "?"

Really, why do I feel like you're the one fooling me, if An Ya really didn't eat something great, would she be so proud?

Cipris wanted to ask more, but Bai Fu was in a hurry to attend a meeting, so she had to leave it at that.

After bidding farewell to the unreliable duo of An Ya and Cipris, Bai Fu made her way to the base of the Rust Army.

Just now, a new message came from the Empire, saying they had identified the person who leaked her information to Titan Industry.

"So who is it?"

The Sword Emperor and Demetri shook their heads helplessly, then sighed: "Srike, a member of the Elder Council, and also the last generation heir of the Walkizi Family."

Bai Fu was startled.

Upon hearing this, she immediately understood why the Sword Emperor and Demetri looked so listless.

In the Imperial Elder Council, there are five special honorary titles.

These titles are reserved for five families who have made extraordinary contributions during the Empire's thirty-thousand-year campaign.

These are collectively referred to as the Radiant Family.

The famous Emperor Ignatius in Imperial history once swore by the Cosmic Void that as long as the Rebirth Empire exists, as long as the Cosmic Void exists, the Empire will ensure the everlasting glory of the five Radiant Families.

This vow is still inscribed on the Eternal Star Monument on Ignatius's burial star, attracting countless visitors each year.

It's been over seven thousand years since Emperor Ignatius's death, and although the five Radiant Families have long exited the Empire's top aristocracy, no Emperor or Elder Council has ever mistreated them.

Honor, they are granted abundantly.

Favor, they are adorned with it.

Earning opportunities are occasionally tilted in their favor.

One could say that the treatment enjoyed by these five Radiant Families in the Empire surpasses that of most Dominators.

And the reason they declined was not due to pressure from the Empire or any force within it, but mainly because they couldn't cultivate another Super Supreme, and lacking a Super Supreme, how could they avoid decline over thousands or even tens of thousands of years?

The Walkizi Family, which the Sword Emperor and Demetri mentioned, is one of these five Radiant Families, and also the oldest one. Even before the Rebirth Empire was renamed, during the Imperial Calendar, the ancestors of the Walkizi Family had fought the Starry Sky alongside the Imperial Royal Family's ancestors.

Srike, the last generation heir of the Walkizi Family, both his and his family's interests are completely tied to the Empire. As a Dominator, he soon would have access to Bai Fu's guidance, with a significant chance of promoting to Super Supreme, so why would he betray the Empire?

The Empire's people couldn't understand.

After figuring out Srike's identity, Bai Fu couldn't understand either.

This makes no sense.

Could Titan Industry offer a higher price than the Empire?

It's unlikely.

Neither the Sword Emperor, Demetri, nor Bai Fu believe that Titan Industry could offer a higher price than "helping Srike ascend to Super Supreme."

Could it be that Srike was threatened by Titan Industry?

Faced with Bai Fu's question, the Sword Emperor and Demetri shook their heads.

"I can't think what Titan Industry could use to threaten him. Has he committed a crime? He has certain immunity rights. Were his relatives threatened? The Empire investigated and found no such thing, besides, if truly threatened, he could report it directly to the Empire and have the Empire come up with a plan to save them."
