Gold Snake and Purple Sparrow Flower exchanged a glance before taking the lead, galloping down to the city.
The two had originally thought that this was merely a tactic used by Ireya to bolster her own prestige, at most involving some mark on the necklace, followed by a claim that she had received the ancestors' recognition.
This move was quite clever. Once Ireya had suddenly appeared, the scales of victory had begun to tilt in her favor. Now, with the addition of this token, even if it was merely symbolic, a small one, it would accelerate the process.
The stage was now set; it only lacked performers.
Before departing, both had made up their minds that no matter what they saw, they'd insist it was the Ancient Spirit, firmly supporting Ireya, as their pledge of allegiance.
However, when Gold Snake and Purple Sparrow Flower approached the Electronic Pet Egg, they couldn't hide the shock on their faces.
Could it be... The awakening of the Ancient Spirit was actually real?!
