After signing, the words on the contract flickered a few times and then disappeared like flowing light.

An invisible yet extremely powerful force quietly spread, tightly restraining Martin like shackles, which meant that the contract officially took effect. Martin was slightly startled, then turned his gaze to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder said nothing more. As agreed, he took out another small space ring from his space ring. Inside the ring lay seven plane cores emitting soft light, and handed it to Martin.

Martin took it, felt its warmth to the touch, and could feel the tremendous power contained within it.

After the handover was completed, the Great Elder turned around without stopping and left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.

Looking at the back of the Great Elder who was leaving in a hurry, Martin felt a little confused, but what was more important at the moment was to use these plane cores to enhance his own strength.

He thought that as long as he could upgrade Eric and Roga to planetary level, and then wait for the dragon knight from the crystal plane to be brought back to the plane core, he could upgrade another planetary dragon knight.

At this moment, the Great Elder hurried back to the Sky City. Just as he was about to go to the Elder Hall, he was surrounded by people from the Punishment Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall.

The leading elder locked eyes with the Great Elder, asking anxiously and with confusion, "Brother, why on earth are you doing this? Don't you know that this is simply giving those people a handle?"

The Great Elder had a calm expression and offered no further explanation. He simply said, "I admit to the theft. Take me to the Law Enforcement Hall."

The leading elder was about to speak again when several more men hurried over. The leader announced, "By order of His Majesty Perron, we are here to take Great Elder Pero to the Thunder Breaking Pool for punishment."

When the leading elder heard this, he immediately stood in front of them.

"What do you mean by this? Don't you know that this matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Punishment Hall? Are you trying to overstep your authority?"

The leading elder took a step forward and said firmly, "Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, this is a strict order from His Majesty Perron. If you have any objections or questions, you can go to His Majesty Perron to argue. Now, I must take Great Elder Perron away."

After saying this, he stretched out his hand and pushed away the elder who was blocking his way, then he summoned his magic weapon and instantly imprisoned the great elder.

The Great Elder did not resist and was taken away by them.

This news spread quickly to the ears of the president and His Majesty Hill as if it had wings.

Upon hearing this, the president, who was concentrating on checking and approving matters, became furious and slammed the pen in his hand onto the table. With a crisp "snap" sound, the pen broke.

He stood up suddenly, his face as gloomy as water, and looked towards the direction of the Thunder Breaking Pool with an expressionless face.

His Majesty Hill rushed towards Perron's palace without saying a word.

When he arrived in front of the palace, His Majesty Hill seemed to have known what had happened inside and stopped involuntarily.

She waited quietly. A few minutes later, Queen Catherine walked out of the hall. Her face was flushed and there was a hint of panic in her expression.

Seeing Hill, Queen Catherine hurriedly bowed and then left in a hurry.

His Majesty Hill took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then stepped into the palace.

A few minutes later, Hill walked out of the palace with a gloomy face.

It was obvious that Perron did not give her any face at all.

In that case, Hill didn't hesitate at all and headed straight towards the Thunder Breaking Pool.

After arriving at the Thunder Breaking Pool, she brought out the Great Elder Pello, ignoring everyone's surprised looks, and then carefully placed him in her own palace.

When Perron learned about this, he was overjoyed, as if he had seen a great opportunity to take control of the situation.

He quickly informed the other three princes, intending to use this opportunity to put direct pressure on Hill and force her to compromise.

Soon, under the leadership of Perron, the other three planetary-level powerhouses arrived in front of Hill's palace in a menacing manner.

Just as everyone was about to break in, Hill appeared in front of the palace like a ghost and stopped them.

"Perron, what do you mean by this? Do you want to fight to the death?" Hill stared at Perron coldly with a sharp gaze.

Perron forced a seemingly harmless smile on his face and said, "I wouldn't dare, Hill. I'm just trying to reason with you. Pero stole seven plane cores without permission. This is not a small crime, is it?"

"This is completely contrary to the 'persistence' he should have as a Great Elder. How about this? You let Pero come out. As long as he tells us who the seven plane cores were given to, we will let bygones be bygones and we will recover them. What do you say?"

After hearing this, Hill fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and called Pello.

Pero walked out slowly and saw Perron and others. He neither saluted nor showed any fear. He just stared at them expressionlessly.

Perron looked at Pero and said, "With your power as a Higher God, you must have heard everything I just said clearly. As long as you tell us who you gave the seven plane cores to, we can let bygones be bygones for Hill's sake."

Pero didn't respond to his question. Instead, he slowly said, "Originally, Sky City was transformed from Sky Island. Back then, Sky Island launched a surprise attack on the Knight King, causing the three empires to fall into a chaotic situation of fighting each other."

"Ultimately, the Elven Empire triumphed. Driven by Paradise Island, they launched an attack on the Northern Continent, which in turn attracted the covetousness of the Hell Plane and the Wizard Plane."

"Later, the elves of Paradise Island sacrificed their lives to atone for their sins, successfully preserving the Light Pillar Plane. As a result, the elves fell into decline."

"However, those elves never knew until their death that they had not actually injured the Knight King. The Knight King was instead driven into the other side of the dimensional passage by someone else."
