Chapter 1021 - 775 The History of the Giant

"Hell creatures?"

Sajia exclaimed in surprise.

The fluctuations of Hell’s power caused the surrounding audience to let out bursts of exclamations; since the great war among the three realms had ended, it was extremely rare to see Hell creatures in the Heaven Realm. Generally, the people of Heaven Realm would regard the creatures of Hell as filled with destructive madness, yet standing there was a courteous young man.

"Greetings, everyone." Tilian said with a smile, bowing.

"You... you actually colluded with Hell creatures!" Sajia roared loudly.

"Nonsense! This is my friend!" Elsa retorted with scorn.

"That is still a creature of Hell!" Sajia continued to shout.

"Precisely because it is a creature of Hell, I asked him to help me do something," Elsa said with a smile.

"What thing?" Sajia had an ominous feeling about where this was going.

"I have found the souls of those three people," Tilian stated.

With a gesture of his hand, three transparent souls appeared, their faces filled with horror and unease.

"Your Highness, the First Prince! Please save us! We just did as you told us!" the three souls cried out, struggling in the air.

"Damn it! I don’t know you! When have I ever given you orders!" Sajia yelled, visibly nervous.

"But I received the orders from your confidant!" one soul shouted.

"I’ll say it again, I don’t know you, whoever told you to do it, go find them!" Sajia’s face contorted with rage.

"Oh? Is that really okay?" Elsa suddenly asked.

"It’s fine, it’s fine! Just go already!" Sajia said. He was merely speaking off the cuff, for in his view, how could three mere souls cause any real trouble?

"Alright then, since it’s the First Prince’s command, why shouldn’t we comply?" Elsa nodded at Tilian.

Immediately, Tilian imbued the three souls with the power of Hell, and in the blink of an eye, the souls transformed into incredibly powerful evil spirits!

"You have five minutes to find that person," Elsa said.

The three souls instantly freed, they charged out with a roar. Sajia knew Elsa was truly playing with fire this time. Perhaps this time, he might be facing a debacle!

Less than three minutes later, the three evil spirits returned with a person in tow, the power of Hell vanished, and the evil spirits reverted to souls.

"It’s him!"

This man was certainly Sajia’s confidant, nearly everyone recognized him.

Seeing the state Sajia was in, the man’s eyes flickered with an odd light. Then, as if making up his mind, he suddenly burst into tears, "Your Highness Sajia, I have wronged you! All of this was done without your knowledge, bringing undeserved suffering upon you! I can only seek forgiveness in death! I ask you to consider the years I have served you and take care of my family!"

With those words, the confidant suddenly soared into the sky, self-destructed!

"That’s hardly surprising," Tilian said, looking up at the light in the sky, the Power of Light making him uncomfortable.

"Indeed, it’s just as we expected," said Elsa, and turned to leave.

At that moment, Sajia’s guards swarmed in, taking hold of his arms and escorting him away from the scene.

With this development, the original rumor incident was, for the most part, brought to a close. However, without an official explanation from start to finish, the general public continued to debate fiercely. The majority still believed it was Sajia’s command, while a minority firmly thought the incident was unrelated to Sajia.

But as the parties involved, neither Elsa nor Sajia delved deeper into it.

At the moment, Elsa was in front of Selena, with Tilian also present.

"You’re going to the Heavenly Kingdom of the Descending Heavens?" Selena asked with some surprise.

"Yes, I believe that to uncover the truth about the Giants, the Heavenly Kingdom of the Descending Heavens is the only way," Tilian said.

"But it’s very dangerous there, and although you seem strong, the level of danger far exceeds what you might imagine," Selena said.

"Yes, I know it’s even referred to as the Eternal Battlefield. People of various races fight there, aiming to acquire the Giants’ knowledge. In fact, I think this is what war should be like -- fought for knowledge, not for treasure or dominance," Tilian said.

"Why are you so determined to seek the truth about the Giants? Even if you learn it, what can you change?" Selena continued, her incredulity showing. To her, the Giants had become history, and she saw no need for one to wallow in the past.

"Perhaps you expect me to state some grand purpose, but I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I do this solely because I wish to, for the peace of my own heart, nothing more," Tilian said.

On hearing Tilian’s response, Selena laughed, "Truly worthy of the man who overturned the Black Dragon Empire – such reasons are impossible to argue against."

Tilian also laughed, "It was Long Yi who overturned the Black Dragon Empire, not me. I was merely someone who added fuel to the fire."

Selena did not pursue the subject further, as Sajia’s current predicament brightened her mood. Humming a tune, she opened the Plane’s gate for Tilian.

After watching Tilian leave, Selena turned to Elsa, "My sister, next time you have some scheme in mind, could you please inform me first, so I can coordinate with you? This time, although Sajia is severely weakened, he will soon recover. After all, the common people do not care about how filthy the struggles within our royal family are."
