Chapter 1499 - 1170: Eight Rings

"I’m very sorry!" The guard warrior immediately apologized nervously since, in terms of official positions, they were much higher than himself.

"Forget it, it’s nothing!" The Minister’s voice was unpleasant, but since it was the Emperor’s command, it was not good for him to lose his temper.

"Hahaha! Excellent! Truly excellent! Much stronger than I had anticipated!" the Emperor exclaimed with great excitement.

That Minister had almost zero strength, yet to be able to withstand such fierce attacks by the guards of the Imperial Palace was sufficient proof of the superiority of this automatic magic!

"There are still many flaws that need to be addressed; however, as of now, its performance is sufficient to handle ordinary battles," Elsa said.

The Emperor was extremely satisfied. He could almost imagine his soldiers, equipped with new type Energy Alloys and controlled by automatic magic, sweeping across the three major planes.

"So, I really want to know when your new type of Energy Alloys and automatic magic could be promoted on a large scale?"

The Emperor asked this question, expecting to hear them say ’right now!’

However, to the Emperor’s disappointment, they could not.

"I’m very sorry, Your Majesty. Since this has always been my solo research, I’ve used a rather primitive method, and it has taken many years to accumulate just a little bit. If a large-scale promotion is needed, I need some scientists’ help," Long Yi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the same goes for me. Since this is all my personal research, if it’s promoted, it can only last for ten minutes, so I need some people’s help to improve the durability of the magic," Elsa added.

It was reasonable, and the Emperor could find no reason to object. At the same time, he also realized that perhaps he was being a bit impatient. No matter, after all, the Prophets were already entangled in the outside world, and they had no time to care about matters here.

"Very well! I declare that I will establish the Future Soldier group to provide you with all the support you need. I look forward to seeing your research perfected soon!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Future Soldiers.

That term almost made Long Yi burst out laughing. Why not just call it the Terminator group? It wasn’t until he left the Imperial Palace and reached a secluded place that Long Yi finally laughed heartily.

"Now we’ve taken the first step. What do you think about this Emperor?" Elsa asked Long Yi.

"I have no opinion whatsoever; the whole Imperial Palace is full of vigilant arrays. The arrays alert against all forms of energy, but luckily, you arranged a battle that temporarily shut down the warning arrays. I used passive magic to try to analyze the Emperor’s energy fluctuations and confirmed that he is indeed a Divine Worm. However, that flashy golden armor did carry some strange energy fluctuations, which I didn’t dare to explore further for fear of attracting his attention. But, I have found more than one worm here," Long Yi said.

"Amongst the Ministers?" Elsa was taken aback.

"Yes, there are at least three more worms among the Ministers."

"That’s interesting. How come this race has so many worms?"

"Because they are powerful. These worms specifically parasitize powerful life consciousnesses and will immediately abandon their current host to choose a stronger one if they find a stronger life."

"So, what do we do next?"

"We’ll just continue with the original plan, making them figure out our tampered new alloys and automatic magic and mass-produce them!"

The Dark Saintess had been in the Ninth Ring for a long time, and during this period, no god in the entire Ninth Ring dared to provoke them anymore. The three hundred Dark Congregation became a powerful force throughout the Ninth Ring, and many gods trembled at the mention of the Dark Congregation’s name. However, the Dark Congregation didn’t provoke any unnecessary gods because they were merely waiting patiently for an opportunity to enter the Eighth Ring.

Advancing was not merely a matter of passing through a gate. There were intricate temporal and dimensional differences between the Ninth and Eighth Rings, and entering the Eighth Ring not only required a tremendous amount of energy but also needed to occur at the right time and place.

Luckily, Hmph Hmph had experience.

This pink little pig had once been raised by Long Yi and had various enhancement magics tested on him. Influenced by a series of spells, Hmph Hmph entered the Divine Realm and became a god, and once even moved from the Ninth to the Eighth Ring but had immediately fled back to the Ninth Ring due to threats in the Eighth.

However, his experience greatly helped the Dark Saintess.

Advancing was not only about entering the Eighth Ring. More importantly, they had to face the foes there.

They had to be vigilant at all times; such was the nature of the Divine Realm.

At this moment, the three hundred Dark Congregation members were already prepared, and the moment to enter the Eighth Ring was drawing near. In a certain location in the Ninth Ring, time and space suddenly became viscous, everything around seemed to come to a standstill. Farther away, a flash of light appeared and vanished in the next moment, and a huge crack tore through the vast space in front of them. Divine power surged out from the crack, making the golems feel an unprecedented surge of divine power, as if they were invincible!

"Don’t be immersed in it! These are all illusions! The gods in the Eighth Ring are very powerful! This divine power is deliberately released by them to make us lower our guard!" Hmph Hmph shouted.
