Chapter 675: Ransacked! A Special Competition!

Empress Tina was extremely cautious.

The Goddess of Eternal Night's decision to break through the fourth level was recent.

But to truly break through, too many preparations are needed.

So more time is still required.

This time could be several months, or even over a year.

Although Empress Tina believed the Goddess of Eternal Night faced nine deaths and one chance of survival, what if the Goddess of Eternal Night succeeded?

If she succeeded, it would be wonderful!

That was exactly what Empress Tina most hoped to see.

But what if she failed?

Failure would mean the Goddess of Eternal Night's demise!

That was not the outcome Empress Tina wanted.

Once the Goddess of Eternal Night perished, even if Empress Tina could preserve the Eternal Night Empire, it would lose all meaning.

Though she was powerful, she was only powerful on the Continent of Gods; once she entered the Heavenly Realm, though she could construct a powerful divine core, it would take immense time to become a third-level deity.

And once Empress Tina entered the Heavenly Realm, the Eternal Night Empire would collapse.

That was certain.

Even if she became a god, she could not protect the Eternal Night Empire.

Unless she became a fourth-level god.

Such a powerful empire as the Eternal Night Empire originally belonged to a fourth-level deity's domain!

Now, the reason the sisters could possess this realm was twofold: first, the Goddess of Eternal Night had concealed her identity well; second, Empress Tina was overwhelmingly powerful on the Continent of Gods.

But once Empress Tina entered the Heavenly Realm, who could protect the Eternal Night Empire?

The head of the Holy Magic Academy, though also a Sacred Domain, was Empress Tina's uncle—and he was only a first-stage Sacred Domain, incapable of safeguarding a top-ten empire!

Thus, if the Goddess of Eternal Night perished, the existence of the Eternal Night Empire would be utterly meaningless.

Unless Empress Tina refused to enter the Heavenly Realm and went to avenge her.

Of course, Empress Tina had the confidence she could break through to the fourth level within ten thousand years, but by the time she grew strong, the Eternal Night Empire would already be gone.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Empress Tina decided: if the Goddess of Eternal Night was defeated in the Heavenly Realm and her life was in peril, she would sacrifice her own faith to beg a fourth-level deity to intervene and protect the Goddess of Eternal Night!

But this fourth-level deity must be chosen carefully.

First, he must be powerful.

Those targeting the Goddess of Eternal Night are mostly peak third-level deities; a fourth-level deity seems sufficient, but what if the attacker has a fourth-level ally?

So he must be sufficiently powerful.

Second, he must be reliable!

A deity's reliability can be glimpsed from his deeds, but one cannot fully trust them, for many deities fabricate deeds to gain faith.

Yet Empress Tina could learn a deity's temperament, beliefs, and more from his realm.

Thus, Empress Tina decided that after a while, she would pay a visit to the Flame Empire!

Although she would wait until the Goddess of Eternal Night could no longer hold out before taking that step.

But Empress Tina must prepare in advance, must determine in advance which fourth-level deity to seek aid from.

And once she offered sincere faith, after she herself became a god, she could only become a member of that deity's divine lineage.

But if the Flame Lord was worthy of her faith, that was not a major issue.

Saving her sister was the most critical thing!

The next day, Meng Ying came to bid Empress Tina farewell.

"Lady Meng Ying, in a while, I plan to visit the Flame Empire—will the Flame Empire welcome me?"

Empress Tina asked.

Meng Ying, surprised, nodded and said, "Of course we welcome you, Empress Tina."

The two women exchanged a few more words, then parted.
