In a serene and breathtaking aerial palace.
“The Undead Lord got slain!? Is this for real?”
“Based on the urgent report, this is highly probable. Lord Ji Chen in a cluster of islands near the southeastern part of the Mid-Ocean adjacent to the Southern Continent, has slain one of the five Demon Lords, the Undead Lord, Maldonis.
According to the report from Commander Yasen of the Fifth Fleet in the Mid-Ocean, there was a massive uprising within the Undead Legion under the Undead Lord. It’s preliminarily judged that many high and low rankings officers suddenly died, and it’s speculated that the Undead Lord himself had a life contract-like connection with these demons who suddenly perished.
So when the Undead Lord died, they perished along with him, leading to a massive revolt of demon soldiers.” Herli recounted breathlessly.
Laphia slowly exhaled, her eyes still showing remnants of shock from the explosive news.
She couldn’t understand.
Killing the Dreadlord before was one thing, indicating inadequate strength and perhaps luck, but the Undead Lord was much stronger than the former Demon Lord.
Were beings above the Epic Tier so easily dealt with?
Then wouldn’t she be just another easy prey for Ji Chen?
Herli exclaimed, “What kind of creature is this little guy? In such a short span of time, he single-handedly defeated two Demon Lords above the Epic Tier. Does he intend to eradicate all Demon Lords?”
“It’s not entirely impossible if that’s his intention,” Laphia said solemnly. “Although the Undead Lord ranks third, his strength is comparable to that of the Void Lord, who ranks first. It’s highly probable he possessed the power of authority. If I were to fight him, I would only have a slight advantage based on theoretical data.”
Herli chuckled, covering her mouth. “If you were to fight that little monster, who do you think would win?”
Laphia gave her a glare. “Do you really wish for us to be at odds with him?”
“I can’t bear that responsibility.” Herli quickly grabbed her arm. “I just have a feeling that perhaps someday, the Elf Empire will stand against him.”
“…Is this the prophecy of the High Priestess of the Elf Empire?”
“It’s not necessarily an inevitable future, but one of countless possibilities based on trends.” Herli shook her head, with a hint of unease on her face. “I hope that day never comes, it would bring us great trouble, even… catastrophe.”
Laphia furrowed her brows slightly, never before had she seen her closest friend like this.
Herli controlled a part of the “foresight” authority, becoming the High Priestess of the Empire with this power, predicting the unknown entities that would threaten the elves in the future.
Over the centuries, she had helped the Empire solve many problems, so her words carried a lot of weight in Laphia’s heart.
But Ji Chen seemed to have no reason to stand against them, or rather, there was no need for the Elf Empire to antagonize a young powerhouse with boundless potential.
Herli suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Don’t worry, even though that’s the case, humans have a saying, ‘Man proposes, God disposes.’ We won’t be so foolish as to pick a fight with that little monster. It’s not in our best interest.
Besides, no matter how strong that little monster is, Laphia, you’re not someone to be trifled with either. As the youngest Epic Tier in the history of the Elf Empire, possessing multiple authorities and the blessing of the Mother Goddess, you are also one of the top-ranking powerhouses.”
People only knew that every Elf Queen was of the Epic Tier, but not many knew the specific strength of Laphia, because there were not many things that required her to leave the Silver Moon Holy City, let alone to personally take action.
Staying unknown was always the best strategy.
Laphia just smiled, then spoke seriously, “Since Ji Chen has slain the Undead Lord, causing the Undead Legion to collapse into a riot, then we can completely seize the initiative, launching an attack on the Southern Continent without any hesitation.
Start organizing the various elven legions, and mobilize the fleet to send our warriors to that land covered in yellow sand. Since the situation in the Eastern and Western Continents is not optimistic, we’ll use the Southern Continent as a breakthrough point and fiercely stab the demons from behind!”
Laphia walked to the window, overlooking the Silvermoon City through the window, saying, “I also have a feeling that this war will end faster than I imagined, and this world will return to its original state more quickly.
Then this world will enter a new era faster, perhaps those top creatures who can touch the boundaries of the divine realm will appear one after another, climbing towards the supreme divine ladder together.
And at that time, new gods will be born, old gods will fall, perhaps it will be a peaceful era of hundreds of thousands of years, or it may be an unprecedented chaotic era.”
Herli pursed her lips, placed her hand on her chest, and bowed. “We will always follow you until our elves fulfill the long-standing wish of millions of years.” Laphia turned around, and nodded, “Go, go to the Crown of the Ocean to express our goodwill to him, and try to bring him into our camp.”
Herli blinked. “What is your intention?”
“He’s relatively new to this world, so it’s about time to share some of its most profound secrets with him and see if he can lend a hand in its salvation.”
Herli pondered. “I will convey this message, but I cannot guarantee that he will join..”
