Chapter 680: The Royal Family’s Movement
“Finally, they’re all gone.”
In the deep dream world, Avis let out a sigh of relief as he watched the last ninth-level cultivator being caught off guard and swept away by the collapse of the dream world bubble, disappearing in the endless turbulence of the dream world.
At this point, he had left all the pursuers behind. Although he himself seemed to have lost himself in this endless deep dream world, with the Land of Inheritance as a special anchor point, he could still use the Land of Inheritance as a springboard to return to the Yar Continent.
And with the power of the floating city as protection, he can ensure that he will not be assimilated by the ubiquitous strange dream power and become a part of the deep dream world that he can never leave.
Avis was quite satisfied with the results of this operation.
Although Marquis Anrita finally escaped, the real bodies of Marquis Cuijing and Marquis Beshim were destroyed without any resistance under the attack of the floating city.
As for the vigilance shown by Duke Carrot at the time, Anvis felt it was very normal.
Putting himself in Carrot's shoes, if he were in Carrot's position, he would also wonder if he would be destroyed by the 'Circle of Truth' that controlled the floating city.
However, what surprised Anvis was that before his death, Marquis Beshim sought help from some ancient existence and received a definite response.
However, the other party may have underestimated the power of the Lightless Moon, or may not have intended to rescue Marquis Beshim at all.
The strange power that surged from the other end of the spiritual channel did not successfully block the annihilation attack of the Lightless Moon. Instead, it dissipated into wisps of invisible strange smoke, leaving an indelible spiritual mark on the floating city.
This is different from a magical mark with substance, but rather a conceptual existence.
If the ordinary marking spell means "this floating city is marked by some unknown magical mark", then this spiritual mark means "this floating city is marked".
Its true carrier does not exist in this world, but in another unknown angle. This is a problem that Avis urgently needs to solve, otherwise when he returns to the main material world, it is very likely that some existence will descend directly along the mark.
Fortunately, with the valuable knowledge records of the Land of Heritage and the database of the Sky City, there is currently a solution to the problem in the database of Bomia, but it will take some time.
During this period of time, the Sky City can only temporarily hide in the dream world.
Fortunately, in the next period of time, the [Circle of Truth] account will need to remain silent for a while to allow the mainland to digest the current information.
Anyone who doesn't have a ninth-order existence is a fool. When Avis exposed the existence of the floating city, he did not expect the relationship between the floating city and the Ring of Truth behind it to be hidden for long.
The truth ring with the floating city is completely different from the truth ring without the floating city. Next, the three empires of the continent will probably try frantically to find and eliminate the existence of the truth ring at all costs. . ….….With the withdrawal of the floating city, the civil war in the empire temporarily stopped.
In this operation of Anvis, the Empire lost two marquises.
This was a huge impact. Two ninth-rank marquises died in the attack on the floating city by an unknown force, and behind this was an extremely complex relationship of interests.
It not only involves the territories and forces controlled by the two marquises, but also involves the rules of the game of the Gloria Empire.
If it was just a civil war among the nobles, it would be barely understandable, but according to subsequent investigations/prophecies, the floating city actually seemed to be related to the Circle of Truth! A resistance organization openly attacked and killed the imperial marquis, which has threatened the ruling foundation of the Gloria Empire.
The royal family had no choice but to bite the bullet and send a ninth-rank official to the place where Gloria III was in seclusion, trying to wake him up urgently. They would then decide whether to use the imperial power to find and destroy the Ring of Truth at all costs and seize the floating city.
But what surprised everyone was that the ninth-rank master did not meet Gloria III in the end, and the palace where he was "recuperating" was also empty, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
The news of Gloria III's mysterious disappearance quickly spread among the ninth-rank royal family. They secretly held a meeting and decided to activate the rare artifact [Eye of Destiny] left over from the ancient magic empire to urgently search for the emperor's whereabouts.
But this time, even the Eye of Destiny, which is as famous as the Tower of Destiny and is said to be as effective as a ninth-rank prophet, was unable to find any trace of Gloria III.
Many ninth-level cultivators already had a vague guess about this result.
The first thing that can be confirmed is that Gloria III is not dead.
This kind of feedback from the Eye of Destiny made many ninth-level people secretly have a sense of déjà vu.
There is only one possibility that could lead to this situation in the Eye of Destiny... Gloria III secretly tried to use secret methods to advance to Legendary rank, but she neither failed nor succeeded.
It may sound confusing, but the concept of legendary rank is so mysterious.
Someone in the magic world once put forward such a view: The reason why legends do not exist in this world is because they are located in other angles and cannot descend to the world where they can be observed by ordinary people.
Although this is pure speculation without any evidence, it also reflects some of the unobservable properties of the Legends.
Back then, the first owner of the Olivendi family used a magical wish-granting item to try to break through the legend and disappeared. The royal family once used the Eye of Destiny to investigate his whereabouts, but the result was exactly the same this time.
After it was confirmed that Gloria III was indeed completely missing, the situation in the upper echelons of the empire immediately became strange.
No matter what Gloria III was thinking, whether he had prepared for a breakthrough in seclusion or was attacked, the result was that the emperor of the empire was completely confirmed missing! A country cannot be without a king for a day. After confirming that the emperor was missing, the eldest prince Ferdinand Augustine immediately contacted several ninth-level priests in the royal family who were close to him, preparing to take that position.
After all, he has been the crown prince for hundreds of years. Even if he has not eaten pork, he has seen pigs running away.
At the same time, Ferdinand secretly went to the tombs of the great emperors of all dynasties to meet the three royal guardians who guarded the tombs and the royal bloodline crystal, [Star Guardian], [Heart of Darkness], and [Ash], hoping to find out the attitudes of the three guardians towards him.
Although he has achieved the ninth level, he can better understand the horror of the three guardians.
It was as deep and powerful as an abyss and an ocean. If the way forward in this world had not been blocked by a legendary barrier, these three would probably have taken that final step long ago.
Among them, the [Heart of Darkness] in white robe smiled and encouraged him a few words, while the [Guardian of the Stars] in the robe of stars had a cold attitude and just nodded to him.
[Gray], who was wearing a hooded gray robe, glanced at him, then closed his eyes again without expressing any opinion.
Seeing this situation, Ferdinand felt relieved and left respectfully.
There are also camp divisions among the three guardians. The Heart of Darkness is conservative and hopes that everything in the empire can remain stable forever, while the Star Guardians are reformists and advocate actively embracing all changes in the world.
The longest-lived and strongest of the three, [Gray], is somewhere in between the two. He doesn't care about the opinions of either faction and only hopes that the empire can continue forever.
For the eldest prince, as long as he can gain the support of the Heart of Darkness on this trip, then as the only prince who has broken through the ninth level, it will be a foregone conclusion that he will change his name to Gloria IV in the future.
But at this moment, a shocking piece of bad news suddenly reached the ears of the eldest prince.
The fourth princess, Osvia, successfully breaks through to the ninth level! (End of this chapter)
