Start with Island Lord

‘Hu~~’

Rosen, Tila Lilin, Adela, and Patnaros disappeared deep into the cave.

After a period of absolute darkness, the four appeared in a beautiful garden.

This is a huge garden built indoors.

Above their heads is a very tall and gorgeous dome of light, with light flowing down slowly like a waterfall. Surrounding them are transparent walls that refract light like diamonds, and under their feet are various unknown but extremely exquisite flowers.

There is also warm and fresh music flowing in the air, and what is even more amazing is that the flowers are actually moving with the music, like dancing elves.

Tila Lilin whispered: "We are now in Anya Garden in the palace, which was built to commemorate Anya, the first queen of the Dawn Empire."

"Look, the human-shaped light and shadow over there is what Queen Anya looked like when she was alive."

Rosen looked over as Tila Lilin pointed, and sure enough, he saw a hazy light and shadow in the flowers.

She dressed like a gardener, weeding, removing insects, and cutting flowers, looking almost exactly like a living person.

Adela commented softly: "It seems that the first emperor of the Dawn Empire loved his queen very much."

Tira Lilin smiled faintly: "No, not love, the queen was actually tortured to death by the emperor."

"After the queen died, the emperor was forced to build such a garden for repentance under pressure from the harem."

After a pause, the sage in front of the emperor said in a tone of seeing through the world: "Miss Adela, if you place your personal emotions on the emperor, you are destined not to get the same return, because every emperor has an entire empire in his heart."

Adela shrugged slightly: "Thank you for reminding me, but I know everything. . "

Rosen listened to the conversation but did not express his own opinion: "I say, what we should discuss most now is what to do next, right?"

Tila Lilin smiled lightly: "Indeed."

She immediately became serious: "Everyone, feel the magic ring carefully, you will find that the palace's binding force on the magic ring is many times stronger than the demiplane."

"Here, casting any spell, including time spells, is all a luxury."

Adela concentrated and sensed it, and then looked frustrated: "Indeed."

She couldn't use any spells.

Paternalos cursed directly: "This is really hell."

Rosen tried to cast ordinary spells, and found that the spells that originally had a maximum power of 8 rings were now only equivalent to 1 ring, and the casting time was also increased several times.

It can be said that the power of ordinary spells has directly dropped by an order of magnitude.

The power of time and space spells was also greatly reduced, but the reduction was smaller, about 3 times.

In this way, he still has a lot of combat power, but he can't deal with the so-called purification angels like he dealt with the miscellaneous soldiers in the demiplane before.

This is also natural.

After all, this is the Dawn Palace, the place with the strongest defense in the entire Dawn Empire.

Tira Lilin continued: "What we have to do next is to gain partial control of this Dawn Palace. There are two ways, one is legal and the other is illegal."

"I'll try the legal one first."

After that, Tira Lilin looked up at the air and said: "Summon Alice."

'Buzz~'

A woman's light and shadow suddenly appeared in the air.

The light and shadow saluted Tira Lilin: "Greetings, Ms. Tira Lilin."

Tira Lilin showed a hint of surprise on her face: "Why, didn't His Majesty Safinos cancel my identity?"

Alice answered in a soft but emotionless voice.

"Ms. Tilalilin, you have been promoted to the status of Dawn Sage. No one, including His Majesty the Emperor, can cancel it."

Tilalilin showed a hint of surprise on her face: "Dawn Sage. Who promoted you?"

"His Majesty the Emperor himself was promoted in the 10,938th year of the main plane clock, which was the second year after you left the Dawn Palace."

Tilalilin was more and more surprised, and had more doubts in her heart: "Okay, where is His Majesty now?"

"His Majesty is currently at the top of the Tower of Truth."

"Can I go to see him? Not alone, but with my friends."

"Yes."

As she spoke, a dark space-time passage appeared next to Alice.

"Please, everyone, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

This made everyone present feel a little confused.

Patnaros was a little wary: "Is this another trap?"

Rosen shook his head: "At this time, there is no need to set any traps. Let's go and take a look."

He walked towards the time and space channel first, but was beaten by Tiralilin after a few steps: "I first, Your Majesty."

After that, she took the lead in entering the time channel, followed by Rosen, followed by Adela and Patnaros.

In a flash of light and shadow, Rosen walked out of the time channel.

He found himself standing on a circular platform with a diameter of about 50 meters and no guardrails around it.

The wind was strong on the platform, and an endless sea of ​​clouds could be seen in the distance, indicating that they were now standing at a very high place.

In the middle of the platform was a high-backed stone chair made of purple and gold material, and a man was sitting on the chair.

The man had a thin face and a shriveled body. He had a head of equally dry dark purple long hair and a pair of dull dark purple eyes.

He was wearing a gorgeous and exquisite purple-gold robe, holding a gorgeous scepter that seemed to be condensed with pure light in his left hand, and a square seal in his right hand.

He sat on the stone chair in a nearly limp posture, with a tired smile on his skinny cheeks.

"Cousin, you are finally back. I thought I couldn't wait for you."

Tira Lilin's face was full of surprise: "Your Majesty, I thought you were dead a long time ago."

Then he couldn't help but add: "But now you look like a dried corpse."

Obviously, the person sitting on the chair was Oretos Safinos, the last emperor of the Dawn Empire.

The weak emperor on the chair coughed lightly:

"The assassination from the abyss did cause my soul to suffer a serious injury that is difficult to recover, and this pain has been tormenting me, constantly wearing away my will and vitality."

"I know you must be very confused about the current situation, and you must be angry, thinking that I betrayed the original oath."

At this point, the weak emperor's face showed a strong bitterness.

Tira Lilin frowned: "It seems that a lot of things have happened since I left."

"Yes, a lot of things have happened."

Emperor Orletus showed a complex expression of pain and relief on his face.

"After you left, the empire did not calm down, but became more chaotic."

"The kings continued to rebel, the abyss continued to invade, and the intensity of the invasion increased day by day."

"Seeing that the plan we agreed on was about to fail, I can only create this half plane as a buffer zone for the main plane world."

Tira Lilin didn't expect this to happen at all, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was reasonable, and at the same time she felt a lot of guilt in her heart.

After all, she was just dormant, and she easily traveled through ten thousand years with her eyes closed and opened, while the emperor in front of her, with a seriously injured body, endured the waste of tens of thousands of years.

But she still felt a little puzzled.

"Then why did you attack us in the demiplane? Why didn't you summon us directly?"

The emperor smiled weakly, and his dim eyes showed an indifference that regarded life as straw dogs.

"This is the last test I set. If you can't even pass this, you are not worthy of inheriting the glory of Dawn, let alone fighting against the Abyss."

At this point, he turned his head to look at Rosen, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face: "Of course, there are also some personal grudges mixed in."

"I respect my cousin, and I love my cousin. Although I hide this love deep in my heart, it doesn't mean that I can watch you blaspheme her."

Rosen spread his hands and apologized: "Your Majesty, I didn't know about this, I apologize to you."

It can be felt that the emperor did not really kill him.

Otherwise, with his strong control over the demiplane, he would have lost a hundred lives.

Considering that the other party was already weak and waiting to die, Rosen, who knew the truth, had no idea of ​​revenge at all.

Oletus waved his hand slightly: "Let's not talk about it, let it all go. Even if I have the heart, I can't afford to argue with you."

"No matter what, you have successfully come to me."

"As the first emperor of the new high-energy empire, you also have all the qualities that the first emperor should have."

"Ruthlessness, courage, perseverance, and extremely outstanding talents."

"Everything is in line with my cousin's prophecy. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be the destined successor of the glory of the dawn."

At this point, Oletus seemed to be a little short of breath, and coughed hard again, and only stopped coughing up blood.

"Sister, I regret to tell you that most of the Imperial Creation Bureau of the Empire has been destroyed."

"It has been destroyed for at least 10,000 years. Of course, it was not destroyed automatically, but destroyed by the war with the abyss."

"I tried my best, leaving only a small part, and this small part of the power is almost all used to maintain this demiplane."

"Of course, the empire still has some heritage."

While speaking, Oletus used all his strength to throw the scepter of light in his hand to Rosen.

"This seal is nothing special, but this scepter is a real artifact, from the Sun Ring. Its greatest function is to protect the soul of the holder and ensure his will is clear."

"It is because of its existence that my residual soul can be preserved until now, and I can always resist the soul control of the true god."

"Now, it belongs to you."

After saying this, Orletes coughed hard a few times.

"In addition, it can greatly speed up your practice speed, until you reach the extreme of the 23rd ring."

"But please note that in our world, the soul of life seems to be only up to the 23rd ring, which should be determined by the laws of the world."

"And relying solely on the power of the 23rd ring is absolutely impossible to fight against the true god of the other world, so you need a truly great high-energy empire, and you also need to find a way to control the power of the true god with the soul of a mortal."

Before he finished speaking, the ground of the Tower of Truth suddenly shook violently, and at the same time there was a loud bang rushing up to the clouds.

The tower body was shaking violently, and everyone on the top of the tower was unstable.

Oletes showed a look of complete relief on his face.

"The betrayers and invaders from ten thousand years ago have come back again."

"I have held on for more than ten thousand years. I am so tired. The next troubles will all be handed over to you, Your Majesty Rosen~~"

After struggling to finish this sentence, the extremely weak emperor gently exhaled his last breath and slowly closed his eyes.

A circle of tiny halo slowly spread out from his body, which was the glow produced by the decay of the shattered soul.

The last emperor of the Dawn Empire, Oletus Safinos, completely left the world.

‘Dang~Dang~Dang~’

The magnificent and desolate bell sound emerged from the air and spread throughout the Dawn Palace, announcing the death of the emperor.

Tira Lilin walked to the throne and knelt down on both knees to salute.

“Your Majesty, you are worthy of the sacred duty of the Dawn Emperor and the glory of the Safinos family.”

“I pay you the highest respect.”

She bowed deeply, and when she looked up again, her face was full of tears.

Rosen also stepped forward, bowed deeply to Oletus, and said silently in his heart.

“Thank you, brother.”
