Chapter 668: The Empress Makes Her Debut! The Nobles Conquered by Wine!

"Maybe it's really the Sacred Realm— I wonder which faction they belong to; I never expected to see two Sacred Realm experts today!"

A count said.

In the Continent of Gods, Sacred Realm experts tower above all, rarely seen for long stretches of time.

Today, they had somehow seen two Sacred Realm experts at once!

Many nobles felt their trip was already worth it!

"My Master is a legend!"

Anne, daughter of Duke Laurent, thought silently.

"Anne, I remember when you were studying under the Crown Princess, she was still a Magister, right?"

Duke Laurent asked.

Anne gave a slight nod and said, "Yes, Father."

"It seems the Crown Princess has had an extraordinary encounter. That means the woman beside her is a Sacred Realm powerhouse."

Duke Laurent said.

Anne looked at Mengying.

Mengying sat quietly there, motionless, her face veiled, revealing no expression whatsoever.

Yet her very presence seemed to radiate a unique aura.

This aura gave those who saw her an indescribable pressure.

Mengying made no effort to conceal her aura, nor did she deliberately release it.

But a Sacred Realm's aura, when not deliberately hidden, naturally carries this oppressive weight.

"The Flame Empire is merely a newly risen empire, yet it hosts a Sacred Realm, a legend, as its pillar. Anne, when the banquet begins, you must go pay respects to your Master."

Duke Laurent said.

"I will, Father."

Anne said.

Only a few knew the true identities of the Crown Princess and Mengying.

Most nobles were speculating about Mengying and the Crown Princess's identities.

Very few nobles connected them to the Flame Empire.

Amid the nobles' hushed murmurs, it was finally nearly 10:30.

All the nobles took their seats.

Then, the loud chime of Zhong Sheng echoed throughout the imperial capital!

The thousand-year anniversary celebration had begun!

Countless colorful petals appeared in the sky, drifting down in a gentle shower, covering the entire imperial capital!

Immediately after, numerous beautiful flying beasts carried ladies-in-waiting across the sky, leaving behind trails of multicolored smoke as they flew.

These countless trails of smoke combined to form a radiant rainbow avenue!

As the rainbow avenue appeared, beautiful music rang out across the capital of the Eternal Night Empire.

On the rainbow avenue, petals continued to fall.

But astonishingly, those petals landed upon the rainbow avenue, which was clearly made of smoke.

In the capital, countless people looked up toward the sky.

In the palace, those attending the banquet also looked up toward the sky.

Then they saw a sovereign, clad in a red imperial robe and wearing an exquisite crown, slowly descending from the rainbow avenue!

She was none other than Empress Tina of the Eternal Night Empire!

Empress Tina did not wear a veil.

But no one could possibly make out her facial features.

As a Sacred Realm expert, she had countless ways to obscure her appearance.

Yet her attire, her hair ornaments—all revealed unmistakably that she was an Empress!

This was the first time Empress Tina had publicly appeared before all the people of the Eternal Night Empire.

In the Eternal Night Empire forged by Empress Tina, very few had seen her true face.

Fewer still knew she was a woman.

Thus, Empress Tina's public debut sent the capital's countless citizens into wild cheers!

Empress Tina walked step by step down the rainbow avenue in the clouds.

When she reached above the palace, she stopped.

At that moment, countless commoners and nobles across the capital scrambled onto rooftops and high places, eager to see more clearly.

Empress Tina's gaze looked downward.

In the palace, over ten thousand nobles, merchants, officials, and celebrities had gathered; she had lived for two thousand years, and had founded the Eternal Night Empire for over a thousand.

Over a thousand years, wave after wave of nobles, officials, merchants, and celebrities in the Eternal Night Empire had come and gone.

Yet she remained forever young.

Of those present now, only a handful still stirred even a faint memory in her.

She gave Mengying a slight nod, then withdrew her gaze, clasped her hands together, and began praying toward the sky.

Instantly, rain began to fall across the entire capital!

This rain looked like rain, but when it touched the skin, everyone felt warm and invigorated; healthy people's physical strength improved, minor illnesses vanished instantly, and even stubborn ailments dissolved!

"The Eternal Night Goddess has bestowed a divine miracle—my illness is gone, ha ha~~ Thank you, great Eternal Night Goddess!"

A long-sick commoner laughed joyfully, bowing his head repeatedly toward the sky.

Such scenes were happening everywhere in the capital of the Eternal Night Empire, Ducheng.

The divine miracle bestowed by the Eternal Night Goddess covered an unusually vast area.

Both commoners and nobles praised the Eternal Night Goddess for her generosity and greatness.
