With a Divine Spirit husband as her backing supporting her ambitions, she naturally dared to give it her all.
On the trial battleground of the plane, Lin Rui has already been chosen and is destined to join the battle.
So he was extrely focused and asked, "How did the Hero King ascend to Divine Spirit? Does your tribe have Divine Core Fragnts? What effects do they have?"
Rose laughed proudly, "Those are three questions, requiring three secrets in exchange. But I can tell you, the Hero King did not ascend using Divine Core Fragnts; there are opportunities to directly ascend on the trial battleground. Now it’s your turn!"
Lin Rui was shocked inside, could the trial battleground directly make one beco a god?
What is the purpose of this trial anyway? If gods can be encountered on the battleground, then what’s the point of becoming a god?
Could there be many ways to beco a god?
Lin Rui was now full of curiosity about the realm of Divine Spirits.
What exactly are these Divine Spirits busy with after becoming gods? Yulidan apparently didn’t even care about his young wife, who was newly wed a month ago.
These secrets, Lin Rui feared he would never access among the Explorers without contact with elite factions like the Elves.
Lin Rui then turned to Rose and asked, "Alright then. As an exchange, what do you want to know? Why does the Empress not care about the exposure of the Elental Keystones’ location?"
Rose nodded imdiately, saying, "With the absence of the [Eye of Light], won’t the other five Elental Keystones be exposed to everyone? This will inevitably lead to an unstable foundation. It’s equivalent to exposing the risk to all strong enemies and external threats."
Lin Rui laughed, "Strong enemies and external threats? That’s because you haven’t truly encountered them yet. If there truly were a strong enemy invasion, with the current situation, losing Elental Keystones is inevitable. That is to say, sooner or later, you’ll face such a predicant. For example, a powerful swarm fleet attacked the Graveyard Influence and snatched the [Eye of Light] from Setra."
"So, whether or not Elental Keystones are exposed does not affect their safety."
"How can it not affect!" Rose raised her voice, angrily saying, "Now all the Elental Keystones are exposed to everyone; surely, the ambitious ones will be eager to seize them with various ans. From now on, Elental Keystones will never be settled and won’t be secure."
Lin Rui glared at her and asked, "Your head, huh? Let ask you, where is your Empress’s Seal located?"
"That’s no secret. Even if I tell you, you can’t get it. It’s in the Hall of Governnt Affairs within the Imperial Court, managed by Xingluo the Great Sage. If soone at your level dared to steal the Seal, the Great Sage would erase you with a finger."
Lin Rui clapped his hands and said, "So you still don’t understand?"
"Understand what?"
Lin Rui was amused and asked, "When I was talking with the Empress, were you really not daydreaming, but listening seriously?"
Rose was furious and embarrassed, "What do you an! Are you saying I’m dumb?"
"The Empress asked my thoughts on the visibility of the Elental Keystones’ locations. How did I respond?"
"You said your thoughts aligned with Her Majesty’s."
Lin Rui laughed and said, "There you have it! In all the lands, no soil does not belong to the king. At the ends of the land, no one is not a servant of the king! As the Empress, she wants to be the hegemon of the next era, so naturally, she aims to weaken all other tribes’ powers. To reclaim all other Elental Keystones to the Royal Court, bringing them under control."
Rose’s eyes widened, trembling with excitent; she felt as if her delicate body was falling into hard ice, and a chill rushed from her spine to her scalp, making her shiver all over!
"You! You! You an, the Empress wants to deal not only with the Graveyard but also gather all Elental Keystones from the other five forces to the Royal Court?"
Is this still the gentle Empress she knew?!
To do the most domineering thing with the gentlest qualities!
No wonder the Empress is celebrated as the most wise and brilliant ruler in the Elf World in millennia!
Lin Rui laughed and said, "That’s right. Just as you imagined. As long as all Elental Keystones are stored in the World Tree Imperial Court, alongside the Elf Seal, even if the whole world knows where the Elental Keystones are, it doesn’t matter at all! Because once the Elves beco the hegemon of this era, no one can reach the World Tree and seize the Elental Keystones."
"Then what if the World Tree is destroyed in a fierce battle?"
"You’re silly! If the World Tree no longer exists, then whether this world exists or not, what does it matter to you Elves?"
"..." Rose’s tone paused. "Seems to make so sense."
"But why did the Empress give you the [Eye of Light]?"
Lin Rui raised an eyebrow, "That’s another question. First, tell , how many Divine Core Fragnts does your Royal Court have?"
"I don’t know."
"Don’t know?" Seeing Rose’s seemingly justified expression, Lin Rui couldn’t help raising his voice.
"Why shout! There are too many of these. There must be dozens of Demigod-level fragnts. There are three or four Divine-level fragnts too, almost enough to form a Divine Core. This isn’t much of a secret, and most people in the Imperial Court are aware."
Lin Rui was utterly shocked, "How can there be so many Demigod-level fragnts? What effects do the Divine Core Fragnts have?"
"Hey, hey! Are you following the rules? One person one secret, now it’s your turn to answer." Rose laughed proudly, deliberately echoing Lin Rui’s original words.
Lin Rui had to explain, "Why would the Empress give the [Eye of Light] unless I helped her?"
"Help with what? Luring Emperor Setra away? Is this reward worth the [Eye of Light]?"
"You really don’t bend your mind a bit. The Empress’s requirent isn’t just the [Eye of Light], but other Elental Keystones too! Don’t I have to snatch them back as I did with the [Eye of Light]?"
Rose looked Lin Rui up and down with disdain, "Which Elental Keystones couldn’t the Elves seize? Do you need help?"
Lin Rui laughed and said, "That would be perfect. Go seize them. Why don’t you go?"
Rose glared at Lin Rui in anger, "Aren’t I afraid that snatching them back would provoke hatred between the Elves and them? Although the forest is very strong, if attacked by several factions, the losses would be heavy."
"Then doesn’t this make perfect sense? I snatch the Elental Keystones, the Elves conveniently use the World Tree Root to teleport near , and you! The brave first warrior of the Elves, Commander of the Imperial Court Guard, Empress’s Maid, Tier Nine Legendary Hero, Commander of the Forest Expeditionary Army, Elental Guardian, Lord Rose, led forces to seize the Elental Keystones from and guard them properly. Wouldn’t that avoid enmity between the forest and all forces?"
As long as the Empress doesn’t turn the forest into King Xuan of Qi, avoiding a united siege by other forces, the Elves’ power should defend against enemy attacks, safeguarding the World Tree shouldn’t be too big of a problem.
And once declared war by other races collectively, the Elves have a strategy of mutual destruction.
That is handing over all Elental Keystones to Lin Rui, letting Lin Rui offer them at the altar to accompany the World Tree in its burial of the entire world.
If that really were the mont, Lin Rui could only say that he didn’t want such benefits; it’s all their forcing, the Empress’s enthusiasm left him no choice.
For world peace, he must bear such a heavy responsibility.
And if he really obtained the six Elental Keystones, offering them all, the Divine Core Fragnts would be complete.
Even relying on the effects of the Divine Core Fragnts, Lin Rui could achieve the Divine Position.
So Lin Rui imdiately asked with concern, "What exactly is the effect of the Divine Core Fragnts? Why is the effect of the Fragnt I have so strange?"
But at this mont, Rose couldn’t hold back from laughing triumphantly, "Hahaha! Hahaha! You wretched guy, finally got your couppance! Sorry, I don’t have any secrets I’m curious about anymore. I refuse to answer your question!"
After saying that, Rose’s face was full of pride, an absolute sense of revenge fulfilled.
What good is your brilliance, Lin Rui? I’m not interested anymore!
The saying goes, all desires bring struggle, absence of desire ans strength!
Haha! Miss Rose doesn’t have any secret curiosities, the exchange terms are invalid!
Rose’s steps got brisker, "Let’s go! To the Celestial Prison! To et the woman the Empress gave you."
