Chapter 1398

"Good, good bold idea..." Xiuta'erkè rubbed his chin, "However, she and Bu luo ni ya are both 'Empress', but their governing concepts feel completely different?"

"Of course they're different, after all, the biggest enemy facing Bu luo ni ya isn't humanity, but the 'environment'. Compared to that, her power is quite stable." Zan Yin smiled, slowly unscrewing the wine flask in his hand, "Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela's political stage isn't a city hall, but a group of old nobles with hidden agendas; her power was seized through 'conquest'."

"Never mind how Wengfalusi will go to outer space; if that day ever comes, I'm quite curious how Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela will make her move after facing that colossal company. If we take the whole starry sky as a chessboard, the forces she has at the opening are truly not advantageous."

——

""Protect the fire seed, and also the 'Law'... only then can Wengfalusi escape 'destruction'." Xing answered truthfully."

""... Oh? What you need right now... is the power of the 'Law'?"

""Exactly. As the divine proclamation shows, Xing is the savior from outer space. Moreover, she has reliable allies. If we can let them intervene in Wengfalusi's 'Law', there is a chance to change the future's fate and overturn this world's destined ending." Xilian added.

However, after hearing their accounts, Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela merely fell silent for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.

""Ha... hahaha!"

""Very well, savior, you have guts! Knowing full well that the inheritor of the 'Law' stands before you, you dare to be so presumptuous——"

""What do you mean……"

""If it were before, anyone who dared to covet Kaisa's divine authority would most likely end up torn to pieces. But now, our gaze can already stretch over this struggling land……" Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela lifted her head, her eyes seemingly passing over KefaLe above, piercing that false sky.

""Our campaign… should also not be constrained by this stubborn canopy."

Having said that, Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela lightly sighed: "Helpless, that fickle ocean Titan blocks the spiritual water leading to the Genesis Vortex core, adding obstacles to my path of advancement. If the 'Law' fire seed cannot be returned, the savior's path you pointed out also cannot be realized…… By now, we should also restart the stalled campaign… let the blocking tides recede."

Xilian's face lit up with joy: "So… you agree to cooperate with us?"

""Cooperation? Forgive my frankness, I never 'cooperate' with anyone…… but I allow you to join my march as royal subjects—follow me to forge the most perfect 'Law'."

Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela took out a badge inlaid with a gold edge and handed it to the two.

""This is……"

""Flame-Chasing insignia, the identity symbol of the Flame-Chasing Army. Every noble of Aohema possesses this item. Seeing this badge is equivalent to seeing Kaisa himself; you may move freely in the city. Before setting out to conquer the ocean Titan, you two may rest temporarily in Aohema."

Xing solemnly put away the badge, but before leaving, she still carefully left a warning: "Beware of a person named Laigushi, Kaisa."

""……Oh?"

Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela's expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

""Your advice, I have accepted."

Seeing Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela alone approach the two for a talk, Alphonse couldn't help but recall the scene when he and his brother dealt with those high-ranking military officials. Feeling that he must always be prepared with eight hundred minds, any misspoken word could lead to unknown consequences.

""Brother, I feel she was just testing Xing and Xilian." Alphonse's voice echoed inside the empty armor.

""Hmm, and I also didn't feel that she was very satisfied with Xing's answer——but that's understandable, Wengfalusi's situation is very complex, going to true outer space is truly illusory." Edward looked somewhat worried, "Even Laigushi couldn't possibly accomplish this, right? Wanting to go out there would require becoming true life——"

His words trailed off.

Edward's gaze instantly cleared; a moment later, bean-sized sweat droplets slid from his forehead, and his spine shivered.

True life……

No way?

""What's wrong, brother?" Alphonse noticed his brother's expression was somewhat abnormal.

""No… nothing, just that Xing and Xilian's situation now seems grim. Although Kaisa acknowledges Xing as the savior, her proposed solution might not convince Kaisa."

If we regard "going to true outer space" as the endpoint of "saving Wengfalusi", then the path beneath Xing's feet is fundamentally a foggy maze; even she herself doesn't know how to let the data dwelling in the scepter gain true life, to go to outer space.

By now, Edward really wants to know what Oluonisi's absurd divine proclamation is all about; could it really have been interfered with by Laigushi?

——

""From now on, prove yourself with action. As long as you don't commit overreach, I will fully respect all your choices as subjects."

""May your journey tread across the myriad stars, Lord Kaisa." Xilian bowed slightly.

Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela nodded satisfactorily, finally a faint smile appearing on her face: "Heh, you this attendant really know how to win people over. Go on, first take a bath, you lot… cough, reek of tide."

……

Moments later, Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela alone arrived at the summit of the Dawncloud Cliff.

【43】

【44】

This is the place closest to Kefar.

【44】 「「……」」

「「……」」? Let's look:

Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela slowly opened her eyes: "Come forth, 'Divine Ritual Officer'."

""As you command——"

Laigushi gradually emerged from behind her, bowing and saying: "Great Kaisa."

""Now, perhaps you would be willing to hear my advice?"

""Heh……" Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela chuckled, "As Oluonisi said, those two have arrived. Just as you said, they have shown their yearning for the 'Law'…… At least, this proves my judgment was correct: sparing your life was the right choice."

""Hehe, you have once again proven that Kaisa's wisdom is no empty talk. Now another choice lies before you: with whom should you collaborate, letting the scales of the 'Law' tip toward which side—me, or that 'savior'?"
