Both Mike and Cecilia were visibly shocked. Neither of them had expected that Ye Ling would personally come to cause this internal strife. They had thought that only the Silver Moon Elves stationed nearby had come, but it turned out that the Elf Queen had arrived.
Having been on the Primordial Star for some time, both Cecilia and Mike had come to know about the rulers of the Primordial Star. Ye Zhen, Ye Xi, and the others who brought them here lived on the Taiyin Star in the sky or accompanied the lord. They did not usually come into contact with them.
The rulers of the Xiniuhe Continent where they live are the Silver Osmanthus Moon Elves, and Ye Ling is their Elf Queen, the actual ruler of the entire Xiniuhe Continent, and the ruler of all their tribes.
Normally, matters are handled by the Silver Laurel Moon Elves below. Even for major matters, there are higher-ranking Silver Laurel Moon Elves involved. These beautiful moon elves possess terrifying strength, and some of the higher-ups are no weaker than Lynn. They are among the strongest archmages in their entire world, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are their strongest fighting force.
Their Elf Queen, Ye Ling, is said to possess the power to contend with a 6th-tier expert, which is already at the level of a Saint Magister. Since the world's cataclysmic event a thousand years ago, they have not seen an expert of this caliber.
Therefore, all the tribes that came to the Primordial Star had great respect and awe for the ruler of this Xiniu Hezhou. Anyone who wanted to do something bad had to take into account the existence of the Silver Moon Elf. This is why Cecilia went to inform the Silver Moon Elf and seek protection.
But neither he nor Mike expected that Ye Ling would come in person to handle this matter.
"Lord Ye Ling, I am not convinced! During the migration of the Aini people, my family and I contributed the most. Why is this so-called prince here to become the ruler? My family and I are equally capable of ruling the entire Aini tribe!" After a brief moment of panic, Mike gritted his teeth and asked Ye Ling, hoping to use his own merits to turn the tide.
"Who told you that the one who contributed the most was the ruler? When you first arrived, the Heavenly Emperor must have told you that he generally doesn't interfere in the development of your race and doesn't mind your fair competition, but he strictly forbids internal strife and even more so, he doesn't allow people to die at will. What are you doing now?" Ye Ling rebuked sharply.
They had heard about Mike's situation and were aware of his achievements. They hoped he could become a qualified manager in the future. If Cecilia really couldn't handle it, they wouldn't mind supporting Mike to take over.
But now it seems that Cecilia, with her good education, is indeed more suited to be a ruler than him, and Mike can be Cecilia’s right-hand man, helping him to manage the entire Ani.
Unfortunately, Mike was unwilling to accept the huge psychological gap, developed a desire for the highest position, and put it into action, ultimately ruining his future.
Ye Ling's words left everyone speechless. Both Mike and Cecilia knew that if there were large-scale casualties, the administrators of Honghuang Star would not sit idly by. Therefore, Mike was determined to take action before Ye Chen returned, but unfortunately, he was still a step behind.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Mike didn't think things through for a moment. Please spare their lives, considering the hardships the Aini have endured!" Cecilia pleaded. Although she believed Mike deserved to die, he had brought hundreds of Aini with him. If they were all killed, it would be a huge loss for the entire Aini people.
“Cecilia, I don’t need your fake kindness. The winner takes all, and I, Mike, accept it!” Mike shouted. He knew that although Ye Ling only brought three people, those three alone were enough to sweep away everyone present.
“Whether it’s genuine kindness or feigned kindness, Mike, don’t you understand yet? At least for Cecilia, what he wants is the entire Aini tribe, while all you want is power in your hands!” Ye Ling said slowly, then gestured slightly to Bella beside her.
“As a calm and wise magician, Mike, you are truly disappointing. Let me end this farce. You don’t need to worry, the Heavenly Emperor should have told you that on the Primordial Star, death is not the end!” Bella said, magic power beginning to gather in her hands.
She is the most skilled magic user among the Silver Laurel Moon Elves, a pioneer of magic on the entire Primordial Star, and a great elementalist among the Silver Laurel Moon Elves. Therefore, she possesses many powerful spells that even Lynn marvels at.
“I’ve heard that in the magical records of the Ennis, the strongest single-target spell is called Thunder Punishment. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of magical power to support it, so no one has ever been able to use it. Now that you are dying under this spell, it can be said that you have seen a glimpse of the future of magic before you die. Compared to great strength, power is not worth mentioning!” Bella said as she cast the spell. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and lightning was faintly flashing.
In the world of the Ani, the Punishment of Heaven is a sixth-order spell that requires powerful magic to cast and a strong body to withstand the surge of magic.
However, Bella's magic is different from all of theirs. She relies entirely on her enormous spiritual power to mobilize magic, and coupled with the affinity of the Primordial Star itself to her, she can barely use this magic in her territory, but it requires a lot of casting time.
However, Mike stood still, facing the stares of Ye Ling and the others, with no possibility of resistance.
"My lord! Please spare those ignorant people. They know they were wrong and will repent!" Cecilia pleaded, worried that Bella would kill everyone in a fit of rage. However, Ye Ling waved his hand.
"Don't worry, Bella knows what she's doing. Besides, on the Primordial Star, death is not the end. You will be reborn in the hands of death!" Ye Ling said.
With Fengdu City in existence, all the souls of the deceased will find their final resting place, either living in Fengdu City as ghosts or entering the cycle of reincarnation and forgetting their past, all of which will be judged by judges.
"Boom~~~" Thunder rumbled in the sky. Mike looked up at the dim sky and felt an unbearable pressure.
"Pfft~~~" Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and raging lightning elements were constantly gathering. He seemed to see the scene when he first became a mage, the scene when he first felt the magic elements...
"Magic, truth, exploration..." Mike murmured, and with a roar of lightning, he turned to ashes and disappeared before everyone's eyes.
