Chapter 826

Harley bowed respectfully, a hint of joy on his face.

More than half a year ago—

He could never have imagined.

That one day he would become a Saint Realm (Legendary) powerhouse!

A Saint Realm powerhouse.

These were the strongest beings at the very top of the Bordeaux Empire!

Such beings.

In the past, they were the ones he most admired.

A bookshelf in his bedroom.

All of them were biographies of Saint Realm powerhouses he had collected from ancient and modern times.

In the past—

His favorite pastime—

Was reading these biographies of Saint Realm powerhouses.

From these biographies.

He sought to understand why these Saint Realm powerhouses had been able to enter the Saint Realm.

His childhood dream—

Was to become a Saint Realm powerhouse!

But he also knew the hope was slim.

After all—

It was too difficult.

The Bordeaux Empire had eighteen provinces and ten billion people—

Yet there were fewer than a hundred Saint Realm powerhouses!

Too difficult, too difficult.

Almost no hope.

But now—

In just over half a year.

He had entered this level he once thought impossible!

He looked at his teacher before him.

His eyes held a glimmer of admiration and deep gratitude.

"Go say farewell to your father."

"Come with me and see the peak powerhouses of this world."

Li Yue said.

His voice remained calm.

In this projection avatar within the Tianlan plane—

He made no effort to maintain divine majesty.

Instead—

He acted like an ordinary mortal.

Eating, sleeping, walking normally.

As a deity—

He had accelerated time by a hundred years twice more.

He had been detached from mortal life for far too long.

But he always felt—

That a deity—

And mortals, beyond the level of power, had little real difference in other aspects.

Mortal life—

Could give him another kind of experience.

Which was beneficial to his understanding of his divine office.

The divine office was the Dao.

And the Dao was the natural force of heaven and earth.

Comprehending heaven and earth's natural forces strengthened his understanding of the divine office.

"Peak powerhouses?"

Harley's eyes lit up.

Though he appeared composed,

He was still, in truth, a thirteen-year-old boy.

Hearing those words—

He immediately grew excited and thrilled.

He knew well—

That his teacher was a deity!

And the peak powerhouses mentioned by his teacher—

Surely could not be Saint Realm (Legendary) powerhouses.

Since it's not the Holy Domain—

then it must be a deity like the teacher!

A deity revered and worshipped by all beings, with devout faith!

Is the teacher going to take him to meet a deity?

Could it be—

that these deities—

are all the teacher's good friends?

Is the teacher going to take him to visit each one in person?

Thinking of meeting those deities from myths and legends,

his heart brimmed with excitement.

He quickly bowed deeply, his eyes gleaming bright:

"Yes!"

……

Heavy snowflakes swirled, the heavens and earth white as silk.

The snow of the north drifted down like goose feathers from the sky.

It dyed all things—mountains, ancient trees, grasslands, rivers—

utterly pure white.

As far as the eye could see—

a thousand li frozen, ten thousand li snowflakes flying.

Li Yue, clad in a white robe, seemed fused with the icy, snowy landscape.

He walked forward with his hands behind his back, casually.

Behind him, Hare, dressed in a black magic robe, walked steadily.

The two gradually moved farther away.

A trail of footprints stretched into the unknown, slowly buried by falling snow.

Ahead—

a vast city slowly emerged.

It was a city of pure white.

Its walls rose at least three hundred meters high, standing majestic like a mountain range upon the earth.

Ice Plains warriors, clad in thick armor, stood motionless on the walls like snowmen.

"Teacher, where are we?"
