Is that a Wisp?

At present, the Zamuria Empire's Emperor was seated on the throne, frowning as he stared at the figures of Krune and Zamura that were seated opposite to him.

Standing behind them was Boldak, sporting a subservient posture. Even though it was just an equipment spirit, it was a freaking Primal God's weapon. The fact that it was behaving in such a manner to a pair of Semi-God Realm and God Trial Realm ants unnerved him.

It made him feel insulted for some reason, as a fellow Primal God.

However, he swallowed the insult he felt, controlling himself as he stared at Zamura, asking, "Why the hell have you come here?"

"To obtain the rewards from the Sub-Realm you've been fighting two centuries for," Zamura replied.

"Preposterous! Do you think you'll receive it if you just waltz into our territory and demand it?" a minister shouted in anger when the Emperor raised his hand, motioning for him to remain silent.

Controlling his anger, the Emperor glared at Zamura, asking, "And your reason being?"

"We'll help you win it, of course," Zamura said nonchalantly. "We don't need the ultimate treasure of that Sub-Realm. We're only interested in the rewards until the Elementary God Realm. Of course, we aren't asking it for free."

He smirked as he continued, "We'll participate on behalf of the Zamuria Continent. Whatever we gain through the war, we'll take it home. Only that much. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Only those hailing from the three continents of Zamuria, Rumria, and Guria have the qualifications to participate. The rest cannot. Some foreign cultivators have already tried it and failed." The Emperor snorted as he continued, "So, the Second behind you…"

"It'll work." Zamura smiled mysteriously. "Or should I say, those belonging to my Mountain Sect are all part of these three continents."

"Impossible! Our three Empires have existed for almost a million years now and have dominated our respective continents throughout it. There has never been another force here!" Another minister was unable to endure any longer, retorting as he exerted his presence in an effort to pressure the two.

However, Boldak casually shielded against it, glaring at the minister, pressuring him in response. The Emperor hurriedly shielded the minister, chiding him lightly before gazing at the two individuals.

He was deep in thought, asking in the end, "What's your real goal?"

"Using this chance, why don't we unite all three continents into one?" Krune laughed. "Of course, we won't be ruling over that. You'll only have a business relationship with us. So, if they're clubbed into one, I guess the Zamuria Empire would be the ruler."

Upon his words, the eyes of countless ministers lit up, clearly interested at such an offer. Of course, they had such a thought before as well. After all, with the resources of two more continents, they too would have the qualifications to reach the Primal God Realm.

Currently, they were limited by resources, stuck at the same realm for thousands of years with a slow, if not, no improvement.

That was why they were prolonging the conquest of the Sub-Realm, reaping as many rewards from it as possible. Moreover, they understood that the end result of the Sub-Realm's appearance was the unification of the three continents.

"How strong is the Mountain Sect?" the Emperor asked.

"As strong as the number of enemies we face." Zamura smiled mysteriously.

Only Krune understood that reference. After all, Boldak was the best example of that. However, the Emperor and the others looked like they were beginning to understand it.

At this time, Krune hammered the deal. "Also, Zamuria has become an elder of our sect. So, your empire has a legitimate back to rely upon when seeking for our sect's help in the future."

"Zamuria has joined the Mountain Sect… and an elder at that?" The Emperor frowned, thinking, 'What rewards has she obtained within that smaller Sub-Realm?'

The Emperor was deep in thought for a couple of hours before saying, "Alright, I accept the trade relationship. However, if the Mountain Sect proves to be incapable, then we'll go back on our words."

"You don't have to worry about that." Krune smiled and got up from his seat, intending to walk away when he noticed the God Trial Realm cultivator from before arriving at the throne room, looking sullen.

"Oh, you've revived pretty quickly," Krune could not help but say.

"Damm it!" The God Trail Realm cultivator grunted in shame, having lost so shamefully to someone a realm lower... and in one hit at that.

"Well, you shouldn't feel all that bad." Krune patted his shoulder and walked away. "A lot of God Trail Realm cultivators die under one hit from me. So, you're not alone in this."

'I don't want to be grouped in such a shitty category!' The God Trial Realm cultivator shouted mentally, wishing to bury a hole and hide within.

Soon, Krune left the throne room, followed by Boldak. As for Zamura, just when he was about to exit, he paused, turning around as he gazed at the Emperor. "I was curious about it all along."

"Why did you ask my mother to kill me?"

"Because you're the spawn of a mistake, something that shouldn't have existed," the Emperor replied expressionlessly, sporting mild traces of anger in the end upon seeing Zamura's nonchalance.

"Well, it's not something in your hands anyway." Zamura turned around, waving his hands. "If you were to meet my mother in the future, don't bring up something like this ever again."

"The moment you do is when your Empire ceases to exist."

Seeing Zamura's figure exit the throne room, the Emperor glared at him, using his Divine Sense to probe the secrets of Zamura, wishing to find out why he was so arrogant.

But, the moment he did so, he was shocked, finding himself in the void as a greenish entity floated before him, staring at him before slowly morphing into a gigantic version of himself, possessing qualities that perfectly countered him.

He had only stared for an instant when blood began to bleed out of the Emperor's nose, shocking all the ministers.

His throne shattered as he fell on the ground, but the Emperor didn't mind that, staring at Zamura's back as he muttered, "What kind of monster did you give birth to, Zamuria?"
