 Chapter 2264: Three Gifts, Different Meanings

The box was not large, and inside it were three neatly arranged items.

The value of a gift does not lie in its quantity but in its worth.

If it has no value, no matter how much you give, it is useless.

Yu Qingrou introduced the gifts in the box to Hao Holy Venerable. She extended her delicate hand and took out the first item from the box.

It was a scroll, somewhat ancient, exuding a desolate aura.

Lin Moyu sensed a trace of a Heavenly Venerable's aura from it. The scroll must have been touched by a Heavenly Venerable, and for quite some time. Yu Qingrou introduced, "This scroll once belonged to a Heavenly Venerable from ancient times. It contains a spell."

"Activating the scroll can unleash this spell, which has the power equivalent to a Supreme's strike."

"Although the scroll is a one-time use item, its value remains significant."

After speaking, Yu Qingrou respectfully handed the scroll to Hao Holy Venerable with both hands.

Listening to these words, Lin Moyu felt a bit strange. He could hear another layer of meaning in Yu Qingrou's words.

Lin Mohan transmitted her voice, "The Star Sky Fish Race is not just giving gifts; they are also showing their strength!"

Lin Moyu nodded slightly, indeed.

The Star Sky Fish Race was telling the Human Race that they had more than one such scroll.

Since they could give one to the Human Race, it meant they had plenty more.

At the same time, the Star Sky Fish Race was making their stance clear. They could bow their heads, but they were not the vassals of the Human Race.

Although the Human Race had regained control of the starry sky, the Star Sky Fish Race was not to be trifled with. If the Human Race wanted to attack them, they would fight to the death, resulting in mutual destruction.

The Star Sky Fish Race, using their spatial laws, could directly enter the Human Race's territory and use the scrolls to cause unimaginable damage.

Lin Mohan and Lin Moyu could understand this, and naturally, so could Hao Holy Venerable.

Hao Holy Venerable's smile did not change, but there was a hint of danger in his eyes, "What a nice gift."

Yu Qingrou sighed inwardly, knowing that Hao Holy Venerable understood.

But this was a decision made by the clan leader and the elders, and she had no power to oppose it.

She could risk her life to warn Lin Moyu, and she could also die for the Star Sky Fish Race.

As a princess of the Star Sky Fish Race, this was her duty.

Yu Qingrou's expression did not change as she took out the second gift.

This time, it was a gemstone, about the size of a fist, with what seemed like flowing water inside. From different angles, it displayed different colors.

As the colors shimmered, space rippled in layers, and everyone could feel the dense spatial power from the gemstone.

Yu Qingrou held the gemstone in her hand, "This is a spatial crystal, refined by our clan leader over a thousand years, gathering spatial power from the law star river."

"It can be embedded in a magical treasure, giving it spatial power."

"It can also be used directly. As long as one is at the Holy Venerable realm, they can activate it to open a spatial gate."

Hao Holy Venerable raised an eyebrow; this was indeed a good item.

Opening a spatial gate was of great significance to the Human Race, greatly enhancing their flexibility.

The spatial crystal, refined by the clan leader Yu Chimei over a thousand years, was at the pinnacle of Holy Venerable realm treasures, extremely precious.

It was even comparable to some Supreme realm treasures.

Lin Mohan transmitted her voice again, "This time, they are showing weakness."

Lin Moyu naturally understood. This was to tell the Human Race that they did not want to go to war and hoped to coexist peacefully.

Two gifts: one showing they could fight to the death with the Human Race, and the other expressing a desire for peaceful coexistence, if not as friends, then at least not as enemies.

Hao Holy Venerable smiled as he accepted the spatial crystal, understanding the Star Sky Fish Race's intentions.

He said slowly, "It is indeed a good item. It will make it much easier for us to fight."

"The spatial crystal was refined by Clan Leader Chimei, and it seems to still carry his aura."

Yu Qingrou smiled, "The elder is joking. After all, it was personally refined by the clan leader over a thousand years, so it is normal for it to carry some aura."

"With the elder's ability, removing this aura would only take an instant."

Hao Holy Venerable nodded, "That is true."

As he spoke, he casually tossed the spatial crystal to Lin Moyu, "Moyu, take a look."

Among the Human Race, only Lin Moyu was proficient in spatial laws. If Yu Chimei had done anything to the crystal, it would not escape Lin Moyu's eyes.

Lin Moyu understood Hao Holy Venerable's meaning. Spatial laws surged, enveloping the spatial crystal.

Yu Chimei's aura quickly dissipated, and the spatial crystal became purer.

The eight young people who came with Yu Qingrou all turned to look at Lin Moyu.

Their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

"Spatial laws!"

"How can the Human Race have spatial laws!"

"His mastery of spatial laws is purer and more advanced than ours."

Yu Qingrou turned and scolded, "Shut up, don't embarrass yourselves."

The young people immediately closed their mouths. Yu Qingrou's status was high, not something they could compare to.

In the future, Yu Qingrou was very likely to become the clan leader. When the future clan leader spoke, they dared not disobey.

Lin Moyu returned the spatial crystal to Hao Holy Venerable, indicating that there was no problem.

He had known from the start that there would be no problem. Yu Chimei would not play tricks on such matters. As a clan leader, Yu Chimei would not be so foolish.

At this moment, Yu Qingrou took out the third gift, "This gift was personally selected by me for your esteemed race."

In Yu Qingrou's hand was a box.

The box was very ancient and exquisite, with runes flowing on it, looking extraordinary.

Seeing the box, Hao Holy Venerable was slightly moved.

He couldn't help but glance at Lin Moyu before speaking, "What is inside this box?"

Yu Qingrou replied, "I do not know what is inside. The box has never been opened."

"This box has existed since ancient times, and the contents have likely been passed down from that era."

"Our clan does not have a rune master, so no one can open the box."

"But I believe that someone in your esteemed race can open it."

"I wonder if this gift satisfies the elder."

Hao Holy Venerable took the box and laughed heartily, "No matter what is inside, Princess Qingrou's thoughtfulness is impeccable."

From his eyes, it was clear that he was very satisfied.

How could he not be satisfied? Even in ancient times, such a box was very precious.

It would not be used for anything unimportant, nor would it be sealed with complex runes.

In Lin Moyu's view, the third gift was the most thoughtful and likely the most valuable. This gift, personally selected by Yu Qingrou, truly represented her intentions.

This future clan leader was formally expressing goodwill towards the Human Race on behalf of the Star Sky Fish Race.

The welcoming ceremony ended in a very friendly atmosphere. The teleportation array on the port star was activated, taking everyone to the next destination.

This time, unlike the previous one, they did not need to take them around for sightseeing.

Before the Fish Race came, they had already informed the Human Race of their itinerary.

They wanted to bring their young geniuses to see the world and also to see the young geniuses of the Human Race.

There would be several competitions between the two sides to make friends through martial arts.

This time, the Star Sky Fish Race was arranged outside the Divine City.

The Human Race set up formations outside the Divine City and arranged a place for them to stay.

From there, they could see the majestic Divine City and feel its power.
