Chapter 1601: Chapter 297: I Hate the Sunbird
"But it doesnât matter."
The Sovereign of Radiant Light lowered his gaze and raised his hand, signaling the guards and other ministers approaching him to stay back, indicating that he was fine.
He turned his head, looking in the direction of the Northeast Imperial Capital, and said intriguingly, "The stronger you become, the less we need to deal with you ourselves."
Without any hesitation, the Sovereign of Radiant Light sneered and ordered, "Organize the information on the Silverpeak Seer."
"I want to see what the Guardian thinks of a First Knight Disciple who has hidden so much power!"
This is indeed a good questionâwhat exactly will the Guardianâs reaction be?
"Ianâs intelligence? Unknown origin, but speculated to be from the Fiery Flame Land?"
The Imperial Capital.
The Heart Light Body of Protector Axel, left within the palace, received the report from his subordinates. The Imperial Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "Interesting, it seems that the Fiery Flame Land sensed our Silverpeak Seerâs ace during their encounter in the South Ridge, unable to handle it themselves, now they intend to tell me, leading me to suspicion and suppression of my own people?"
"Father." Crown Prince Carlos, who had just been reporting on cooperation matters concerning Canaan Moore, spoke up. He had meant to say something, but Axel shook his head slightly, signaling no need for more words: "I know youâre recently collaborating with Ian, Iâm aware of your maneuvers... but I donât mind."
Turning his head, the Guardian looked at Carlos with his golden eyes, noting his slightly changing complexion. He said calmly, "In this world, to become the former, one must have their unique path. This path can be inherited from predecessors or can be pioneering oneself. You chose âDream and Faithâ, Michael chose âPersistence and Summitâ, and Alegria chose âExploration and War.â
"I know, and I allow it. Even if some of your goals are directed at me, so be it."
Reaching out, the Guardian patted Carlosâs shoulder, smiling rarely: "Very good. I can sense that your strength has advancedâafter the crisis at the Exotic Species Research Institute, you probably truly understand what the Fifth Energy Level signifies."
"So, Carlos. Donât forget, you are the Empireâs Crown Prince, and I am the Empireâs Emperor."
"How could I possibly suppress my own people because of the enemyâs words?"
Speaking calmly, Axel turned his head, looking towards the South Ridge: "Not to mention, it only takes me a second to reach South Ridge."
"Understood, Father..."
At this moment, Carlos also showed a wry smileâindeed, he had forgotten, his father was the Fifth Energy Level Sunbird... If so, why would he fear Ianâs sneaky maneuvers? How could he not be aware of everything happening on this land?
The changes in the Silverpeak Domain were probably already known to the Emperor standing atop the mountain. He simply endorsed it, indifferently.
It was at this moment that Axelâs spirit stirred, opening the report: "Let me see, what new things have those people in Nemasases discovered that I donât know."
"Hmm..."
In an instant, after reading all related reports, the Guardian raised his eyebrows, looking towards Silverpeak Domain with glimmering light: "Indeed, it is well-constructed. Social transformation in border areas is indeed faster than from the central regions, with lesser pressure and resistance... gradually surrounding central regions from remote areas, inversely promoting central region reforms, a good approach."
"But a war is still needed to eradicate those disobedient nobles. As an Emperor, itâs contrary that I canât kill whoever I want, even false accusations require excuses, in this sense, the Emperor isnât as convenient as a local Lord."
As for the information within the Domain of Void, the Guardian glanced and then shook his head: "Merely the Power of the Collective."
"To be blunt, isnât it just the âRealm of Extreme Faithâ that Teacher Hiliard developed back then? With unanimity in purpose, united strength, using the momentum of a countryâs rapid development, to break through the Fifth Energy Levelâs limit, and achieve the theoretical Sixth Echelon..."
"It seems our Silverpeak Seer used some Spirit Energy to enhance this momentum. This is an improved version of the Domain of Extremes, whether it was Teacherâs doing or the Seerâs modification is unknown."
"For him to use now, with the strength of Fourth Level, with a prepared mind against the unprepared, itâs normal for Carlo to suffer a small loss."
"Nothing unexpected. I thought there would be something new." Sighing, the Guardian turned away somewhat disappointedly.
The miraculous development of Silverpeak Domain, enough to wow everyone, seemed only so in this Emperorâs eyes, not even worth investing more attention.
He did not look at the silent and astonished Carlos, but instead, he gazed at the light screen beside him: "How is the advancement of the Floating City network? Has anyone noticed anything amiss?"
[No one has noticed] Chancellor Mozeâs voice arose: [No one refused the Floating City, though a few great nobles refused the Imperial Capitalâs assistance in its construction, preferring to dispatch their engineering teams, possibly slowing the progress]
"It doesnât matter." The Guardian shook his head slightly: "Indeed, it would be strange if they did discover. As for using their engineering teams, it doesnât matter, let them modify as they please, the result is the same."
With these words, Axel closed his eyes, his Heart Light Body vanished, and the light screen shifted to the Emperorâs body, situated atop the highest platform of the Upper City District.
