Chapter 500: The Truth of God's Throne

~13 min read 2,477 words

"Could it be that there's news about the God's Throne?" Li Yu muttered. This Queen was busy with Klein's ascension.

The troubles she needed to handle were only more than Klein's, not less. How did she suddenly have time to summon him privately?

The only thing Li Yu could think of was news regarding the God's Throne.

Speaking of which, he was quite curious about this God's Throne.

According to scattered news, it was speculated that whoever could sit on this God's Throne could become a Councilor and control unimaginably powerful forces.

Of course, there were definitely various unknown restrictions within this, but it also inevitably hid deep secrets of the Council.

Furthermore, not long ago, the Star Glory Empire even wanted Return Star to hand over this throne in order to ease the tense atmosphere between them and the Council.

No matter how you look at it, this matter revealed an eerie vibe. This God's Throne must definitely be the key item.

Leaving the temporary camp, Li Yu arrived at another temporarily constructed building. Passing through layers of reporting, he arrived at the top-floor Office.

That aura of a high-ranking person who had long held a superior position hit him in the face. Klein had only recently become Empress and hadn't yet cultivated this feeling.

But Vimala had been the Queen for many years, and every movement exuded nobility.

That face, which was 70% similar to Klein's, made Li Yu slightly stunned. Inexplicable images surfaced in his mind, and were subsequently suppressed by him.

He lowered his head and said: "Your Excellency the Queen..."

"Mm..." Vimala nodded and casually activated a few devices in the room, mainly to prevent eavesdropping.

"I want to see Your Excellency the God of the Force..." Vimala got straight to the point and said frankly.

"Uh..." Li Yu's eyes flickered, and he said: "May I ask what the matter is? Your Excellency the God of the Force is quite busy, and I can't just disturb him casually."

The God of the Force had disappeared long ago; now there was only Li Yu standing in front of Vimala.

Inviting the god to possess his body only invited Li Yu himself. Without Strength as evidence, he could only rely purely on Con with his mouth.

If done too many times, it was easy for problems to arise. Moreover, a lifeform of that level naturally needed to maintain mystery.

Even Vimala couldn't just see him whenever she wanted to.

Vimala frowned slightly, stood up and said: "Please pass on the message, this is a previously agreed-upon matter, Your Excellency the God of the Force should know."

It seemed it really should be about the God's Throne. Li Yu could basically confirm it.

However, Vimala clearly didn't want to talk more about this matter with him and only wanted to communicate with the God of the Force. Obviously, in this Queen's eyes, Li Yu was still not quite qualified enough.

Seeing this, Li Yu had no choice but to pretend to communicate with the God of the Force, then casually recite a few ancient poems, and finally invite the god to possess his body!

Li Yu slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to have somewhat changed.

"Your Excellency the God of the Force?" Vimala's eyes were somewhat suspicious.

She herself was not an Ordinary Lifeform. Although she hadn't undergone specialized training, she could be stacked up to an A-Tier Lifeform just relying on resources.

It was just that in her perception just now, no strange Energy or fluctuations descended.

Was Li Yu really controlled by the God of the Force now?

"The God's Throne... where is it?" Li Yu questioned Vimala in a deliberately profound tone.

Vimala's mind focused slightly. Since he mentioned the God's Throne, then the other party could possibly be the God of the Force.

Moreover, Li Yu probably wouldn't dare to impersonate a lifeform of that level. That was a great disrespect, and there was completely no need.

Thinking of this, Vimala gradually relaxed her mind and said in a low voice: "Please follow me..."

Li Yu remained silent and followed Vimala through a secret passage, arriving at an Underground Base located who knows where.

The entire Central Star had been hollowed out, and the Interior was entirely filled with Energy Conduit and various equipment.

The [Galaxy Veil] was hidden in the Planetary Core. When Li Yu first found out this thing was actually a Titan Artifact, he was also quite surprised.

Strictly speaking, the [Galaxy Veil] was the first Titan Artifact he came into close contact with, and its power indeed lived up to the name of an artifact.

If the Council hadn't been fully prepared, they might have been defeated by Digor without Li Yu even needing to make a move.

"This was discovered by Return Star thirty-two years ago in a certain massive Titan Ruins. It took us nearly ten years to confirm that it was the God's Throne..."

Vimala explained to Li Yu. A large number of Researcher hurried past on the Metal Corridor, all looking down at their Smart Terminal.

"There is almost no documented information recording the Thirteenth Throne of Gods, even the Council itself doesn't know..."

"According to our speculation, this Thirteenth Throne of Gods is very likely to cause a qualitative change in the Council."

Li Yu listened silently to Vimala's introduction. The more powerful this Thirteenth Throne of Gods was, the more wrong the Star Glory Empire's mediation attempt appeared.

The Star Glory Empire couldn't possibly let the Council obtain such a massive Amplification for nothing just for those few prisoners.

Moreover, more importantly, the Empire actually didn't have any designs on such a precious thing?

Vimala led Li Yu to stop in front of a heavy Blast Door. "Bolvar kept a very close watch. It took me a lot of effort to make him relent, but you probably won't be able to take it away for the time being."

Vimala was slightly apprehensive. After all, she had Pledging With Absolute Sincerity guaranteed back then that she would give the throne to the other party.

However, what surprised her was that this Excellency was not angry, his tone flat: "Let me see it first."

Li Yu now felt that this Thirteenth Throne of Gods was definitely fishy, there was no need to absolutely have it in his hands.

"Alright..." Vimala breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy Blast Door slowly opened. Through the gap, Li Yu could see a resplendent throne standing in the center of this space.

It was entirely milky white, made of unknown materials, emitting a peculiar force field that made people subconsciously focus all their gaze on it.

"Queen!?"

The person in charge here had a slight change in expression and hurriedly ran over to greet her, but was stopped by Vimala raising her hand. He could only walk aside resentfully, simultaneously looking curiously at the person following beside the Queen.

It's Duke Li Yu?

This person in charge was not unfamiliar with Li Yu either. After all, his reputation was At the zenith of one's power recently, and very few people Interior Return Star didn't know him.

Li Yu walked straight up. A few Researcher lacking tact who attempted to stop him were hurriedly waved back by the person in charge here.

He walked in front of the throne. Even observing it at close range, he couldn't see anything strange about it.

It felt like jade, yet also like metal. Although there was a special force field around it, that force field wouldn't cause any impact.

"Any lifeform sitting on it will feel a sense of controlling everything, it's just that there is no substantial power supporting this feeling." Vimala continued:

"We believe this throne must be within the Council's Territory to function."

"Oh?" Li Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he instantly flew up onto it. When he stood on the Seat, sure enough, a peculiar feeling flowed through his entire body.

It was as if he had once again transformed into the sea of The Force, once again becoming omnipotent.

But unlike transforming into the sea of The Force, there was no power for him to control; this was merely an illusion.

"Interesting..." Li Yu pondered, and then took out a pair of Sunglasses from his System Space and put them on -- [Virtual Goggles].

Seeing this, Vimala below was somewhat sluggish. Why did this Excellency suddenly put on Sunglasses? This was too out of place.

After digitizing himself, Li Yu immediately checked his own status bar and, as expected, found a new status.

[...

False Divine Realm: Above the divine throne, looking down on the Universe, the power of the God's Throne is enough to make you a Super Lifeform.

The Star Glory Empire copied this throne through special materials, giving it certain characteristics of the God's Throne.

......]

Li Yu looked at the description in the status bar, his eyes full of astonishment.

What?

This thing is a replica created by the Star Glory Empire, it's fake!?

This result made him exceptionally shocked. He had guessed this God's Throne was very fishy.

But he didn't expect this thing was actually made by the Star Glory Empire.

No wonder they didn't come to snatch it; turns out this thing was released by them in the first place.

Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and some doubts instantly had answers.

The Star Glory Empire definitely wouldn't manufacture this thing for no reason; they must have their own purpose.

Combined with the Empire ambassador's rhetoric, Li Yu guessed that the Star Glory Empire knowing about this thing was probably precisely to let the Council obtain it.

It was just that if the Empire simply released it themselves, it would definitely arouse the Council's suspicion.

So they had to make the Council painstakingly obtain this throne themselves to dispel this suspicion.

And Return Star became a suitable scapegoat.

It was just that the God of the Force appeared out of nowhere, disrupting the Star Glory Empire's plan.

Therefore, the ambassador sought out Li Yu, attempting to use this method to give the God's Throne to the Council.

Wait... Li Yu suddenly thought, if they followed the Star Glory Empire's idea and Return Star accepted the mediation.

Then the Star Glory Empire could perfectly complete their plan, and also use this to exchange back the prisoners, simply Kill Two Birds With One Stone.

What a nice thought... Li Yu sneered in his heart. This God's Throne definitely involved a certain Long and protracted, important plan of the Star Glory Empire.

Although the status description only summarized it in a simple sentence.

But Li Yu knew, to counterfeit a God's Throne, the Star Glory Empire probably expended an unknown, massive price.

Putting away the Sunglasses, Li Yu stepped down from the God's Throne. Vimala tentatively inquired: "Did you discover anything?"

"I did make some interesting discoveries." Li Yu didn't tell Vimala directly, but instead asked: "Has the Star Glory Empire conveyed a suggestion to act as a mediator to you?"

Vimala was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and still nodded saying: "They indeed brought it up to us, but we are relatively hesitant about this."

"Find a secret place to talk." Li Yu looked around and said.

"Alright..." Vimala seemed to sense something and had the person in charge vacate his own Office.

"The throne is fake, this entire matter is a conspiracy by the Star Glory Empire." Li Yu said straightforwardly.

"Ah...?"

Vimala was somewhat dumbfounded for a moment, her lips slightly parted, her eyes sluggish, unexpectedly having a sense of inexplicable adorkableness.

"Are you sure?" Vimala subconsciously pursued the question.

After all, Return Star had invested a lot of effort into this, and now he actually said it was fake.

"Are you questioning me?" Li Yu's gaze fell on Vimala, making her somewhat nervous, and she hurriedly denied: "No... I'm just, just a little... finding it hard to believe..."

Li Yu then said indifferently: "I have seen the real God's Throne. The Star Glory Empire won't be able to catch up to the manufacturing technology of the Titan Civilization even if they take another tens of thousands of years."

Seen the God's Throne?

That's the Council's highest secret!

Vimala was startled again, but felt it was a matter of course, without any doubt.

For a figure like the God of the Force to have seen the God's Throne, what was so strange about that?

"The Star Glory Empire should be wanting to use this to set up the Council. Since this throne is fake, there's no need for Return Star to continue taking risks. You can consider accepting the Star Glory Empire's proposal and hand the throne over to the Council."

"However, you must wait for my notification."

Since this thing was manufactured by the Star Glory Empire, there was no need for Li Yu to obtain it.

However, wanting him to hand it over so easily was also unlikely. He definitely had to tug back and forth with the Star Glory Empire to see if he could squeeze something out.

It was only at this moment that Vimala truly believed the God's Throne was fake.

Just now, she even guessed if this was the rhetoric used by the God of the Force to deceive Return Star in order to obtain the God's Throne.

But now the other party told Return Star to give the God's Throne to the Council instead of wanting it himself, which dispelled Vimala's doubts in this regard.

"I didn't expect this to all actually be a conspiracy by the Star Glory Empire..." Vimala sighed.

"I will convey the subsequent matters through Li Yu..." Li Yu prepared to give Vimala a preemptive shot in advance, saving this woman from looking for the God of the Force when she had nothing to do.

Acting is also very tiring.

"Return Star welcomes the descent of Your Excellency's true body. I am also very much looking forward to meeting you," Vimala lowered her head and said.

This woman wants to see the God of the Force so much, what exactly does she want to do?

Li Yu was suspicious in his heart and could only answer: "There will be an opportunity."

It was still the Simple and Unadorned opening and closing of his eyes, symbolizing that the God of the Force had already left.

"Queen?" Li Yu called out. Vimala slowly raised her head. The restraint and humility from just now had disappeared, and her whole person became calm and cold again.

"You should leave," Vimala said bluntly, completely different from her attitude just now.

You turn hostile way too fast, don't you??

Li Yu was somewhat Speechless. Looking at that face that was very similar to Klein's, he grumbled inwardly.
