Chapter 1124 - 876 Not Angry At All
"Good! That will conclude today’s morning meeting!"
The Emperor rose from his throne and turned to leave through the private passage exclusive to the Emperor. Selena and Sajia hesitated for a moment before following him.
"You actually have the nerve to admit it!" Selena whispered harshly, frowning at Sajia.
"What choice did I have? Could I contradict our father?" At that moment, Sajia’s mind was in turmoil. He knew very well that the choice he made could likely cost him the people’s hearts. But more than losing the people’s support, he was more afraid of the Emperor.
"If Elsa finds out about this, do you think you’ll still be alive?" Selena said.
"..."
Sajia fell silent. He guessed that Elsa might indeed do something drastic. But the words were already spoken, and there was no way to retract them. Now, all he could hope for was that his father would provide a reasonable explanation.
Ahead, the Emperor had stopped. When he saw Selena and Sajia approaching together, he raised his hand and said, "Selena, you may leave us. I have something to discuss with Sajia."
Selena was truly stunned; the Emperor had never acted this way before! It was indeed a move against Elsa! And she had grown too close to Elsa!
How did things end up like this? Weren’t everything fine just before?
Selena carefully reflected on the past series of events. Elsa had suddenly returned, and the Emperor disappeared immediately after presiding over the celebration. Then, Elsa began the battle with the Ghost Spirits, and, until now, at the end of the war with the Ghost Spirits and Elsa’s departure, the Emperor immediately appeared and forcefully attributed all the accolades to Sajia.
My heavens, what could possibly be the internal connection between these events? What on earth is going on?
Selena felt her head was about to explode! And what concerned her most was, if Elsa knew about this, what would she do? Would she go mad? Would she cause some huge disorder?
"No, I won’t do anything."
Elsa said to Nim.
Just now, Nim had reported everything that just happened to Elsa. He even expressed extreme indignation, for the Emperor’s actions seemed not only unreasonable but also somewhat shameless! This was not behavior befitting an Emperor, and certainly not something the First Prince Sajia should have done.
"Now the whole Imperial City is buzzing with rumors, many believe that the Emperor has returned this time to declare war on you," Nim said.
"I agree with their viewpoint, my father is indeed a very patient person. He only appeared after I had gone far away. But this move he made seems rather foolish," Elsa said.
"So, you truly plan to just let things be?" Nim asked, puzzled.
"What else can I do? Should I go and kill them?" Elsa retorted.
"You should at least make a statement, to express your dissatisfaction!" Nim said earnestly.
"The problem is, I am not dissatisfied," Elsa said with a smile.
"Eh?" This time Nim was completely dumbfounded. Was there such a thing? What was this about? Being bullied and still not angry? Were you always this easy-going? If you were easy-going, then likely there would be no one irritable in this plane at all, right?
"But..."
Before Nim could finish, Elsa had already reached out and pinched Nim’s face. Despite her small hands, her strength was astonishing, and Nim even felt some of his teeth loosen.
"Listen, Nim, when I say I’m not angry, I really mean it, so can you stop asking, okay?" Elsa still maintained a smile, but judging by her strength, to say she wasn’t angry? Nim truly didn’t believe it.
"I understand!" Nim howled in response.
The Heaven Realm, located in the upper plane, where the Celestial Clan is the ruling species. However, that doesn’t mean there are only members of the Celestial Clan here, nor does it imply that all talented individuals belong to them, and it certainly doesn’t indicate that the Celestial Clan holds absolute power here.
Therefore, when Elsa offered a high enough price, she was able to recruit a sufficient number of outstanding teachers.
With the core material left by the Ghost Spirits, Elsa completely merged with the power of the Ghost Spirits, a dominative power. Such power made those Ghost Spirits obey from fear of strength, turning into genuine allegiance. Combining the knowledge of Giants from Long Yi and the magic of the Ghost Spirits, Elsa successfully extracted those ferocious Ghost Spirits from the bodies of the Celestial Clan people and used Cosmic Stones to reshape their bodies. As for why Elsa chose to remake them in the likeness of little girls, she thought this image might convey a sense of harmlessness. It was more convenient in daily life, and in combat, it could lower the guard of others.
However, this didn’t mean they truly became little girls. At that moment, they were still a blank slate, and that was precisely why Elsa selected a series of excellent teachers to educate them in culture, manners, and civilization, aiming to shape this reborn Ghost Spirit race into a perfect species.
Ambitious, indeed, but with the powerful learning abilities of the newborn Ghost Spirits, Elsa believed her plan was certainly not a daydream.
Once the Ghost Spirits no longer needed to parasitize others to gain energy and propagate, the reborn Ghost Spirits were essentially now a new powerful race. Even though Elsa chose a location far from the crowd to establish Ghoul City, this didn’t prevent some curious onlookers from occasionally coming near to investigate. Elsa didn’t stop them, and even some bold individuals came into contact with those adorable little girls.
And because Ghoul City wasn’t enclosed, news about it soon spread. Most of the content was similar: a group of cute little girls learning knowledge.
But an incident one night gave everyone a new definition of this place.
A band of roaming criminals that had emerged from who knows where suddenly entered Ghoul City. When they saw the city full of adorable little girls, these utterly vicious villains immediately planned to snatch a few. But in the next moment, those little girls, who had previously looked shy, transformed dramatically and blasted those criminals into dust with astonishing methods.
A group of self-organized visitors witnessed this scene, and when describing the battle to their friends, some even flushed red and bled from their noses.
"So what exactly did they transform into?" their friends asked eagerly.
"It’s hard to describe," the man with the nosebleed looked up at the sky, his yearning evident in his voice. "In any case, she’s an extremely sexy and beautiful older sister."
At this time, Landers had once again returned to the Sanctuary Empire. To prevent him from causing any more trouble, Long Yi took the radical step of recreating a body for him and then had Little Zi transfer his soul and memories into the new body, while his original body was sealed by Long Yi. All of this was done while Landers was asleep; he knew nothing about it. The only thing that puzzled him was the refreshed and invigorated feeling he had upon waking up.
Returning to his laboratory, Landers couldn’t help but sigh. He hadn’t even imagined he would be able to return one day. Long Yi was quite magnanimous; after all, the past events couldn’t really be blamed on him. As long as he focused on researching new magic here, it would be enough. Although Landers had lost his memory of magic, he had not lost his memory of Long Yi. Countless rumors and facts were enough to prove to him what kind of person Long Yi was, and the significant compromise Long Yi had made for him made Landers immediately understand the value of his magic. He swore to Long Yi that he would successfully redevelop this magic. He also conveyed, indirectly, his familiarity with the middle plane, and when it was time for them to leave, would Landers also be able to follow?
As for that, Long Yi was indifferent, which made Landers extremely excited. The first time he himself had entered the middle plane, he had a tough experience, knowing what it meant to be a big fish in a small pond. But if he could enter the middle plane with someone like Long Yi this time, things might change!
After this incident, the Ancient Mage Tower once again fell silent, disappearing completely within the universe, virtually untraceable in any corner. But Long Yi still remembered where he had first seen the Ancient Mage Tower.
It was a space rift, and on the other side of the rift was a planet abandoned by the Crystal Demons. The planet was filled with crystals, and the Ancient Mage Tower had always been mining crystals there. However, at the time, it was Solis who was under the control of the God Chasers, conducting research on the Crazy Demons. And now that Solis was on Long Yi’s side, was the research continuing? Most importantly, it seemed that Elma had completely transformed into a Crazy Demon, so would they still return here?
With this question in mind, Long Yi arrived at the planet where the rift had been. Now the gigantic rift had disappeared, leaving only a tiny crack, so small that not even an insect could pass through.
Just as Long Yi was about to summon Belle, a disturbance rippled through space in the distant cosmos, and the huge Ancient Mage Tower suddenly appeared here, crossing through space!
A ship’s entire jump through space? Damn it! No wonder he couldn’t find it!
Long Yi concealed himself and quietly watched as the Ancient Mage Tower approached the rift. Suddenly, a powerful beam was fired from the front of the Ancient Mage Tower, striking the slender crack. The crack instantly expanded to a massive size, large enough for the Ancient Mage Tower to pass through!
The Ancient Mage Tower slowly passed through the crack and then stood upon the plains in the distance. Long Yi secretly followed, watching from afar as several Crazy Demons leaped down from the tower and continued to mine the crystals here.
Indeed, this time he had hit the jackpot! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
