Chapter 755
But cursing aside, their movements didn't stop; they kowtowed even louder and fawned even harder:
"Your Majesty! My Black Stone tribe is willing to pledge eternal loyalty!"
"My Moonlight Forest clan is willing to be the vanguard for Your Majesty!"
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty, and guide us lost descendants!"
The holy halo naturally emitted from Li Chen's body made them feel eye pain and soul tremors even when looking up directly, let alone daring to have any doubt.
At this moment, who would dare to question this person's existence? That would simply be tired of living!
Not only did they not dare to question, but they had already begun to automatically fill in Li Chen's identity in their minds: he must be some powerful pure-blooded Elf King from ancient times, or even an ancient great being who participated in the God-Demon War, sleeping due to injuries, and now finally returning!
Li Chen's gaze swept across the crowd seemingly casually, as if looking for something.
Finally, his line of sight "happened" to fall on Loserma, who was kneeling at the very front with the most humble posture, and those behind him wearing the attire of the Wind-Whisperer family.
"Eighty thousand years, it has been so long!"
Li Chen sighed lightly, his tone carrying a trace of just-right vicissitudes and blurred memory.
"Having slept for too long, many worldly matters have already faded from memory. You, come forward and tell this seat about the state of the world today."
Loserma, who was named, was stunned for a moment, and then a feeling of wild joy almost burst through his chest!
He suppressed his excitement and hurriedly kowtowed again: "I will strictly follow Your Majesty's decree! Being able to resolve doubts for Your Majesty is Loserma's greatest honor!"
The patriarchs of other families saw this, and their hearts suddenly felt cold and disappointed. The looks they gave Loserma were filled with envy and jealousy, yet they dared not show it in the slightest.
They knew that the Wind-Whisperer family had truly had incredible luck this time, actually being the first one chosen by this "Ancient Elf King"!
Loserma suppressed the triumph and pride in his heart, raised his head cautiously, and suggested in the most humble tone: "Your Majesty has just awakened, and the environment here is harsh, definitely not a place to stay for long. If Your Majesty does not mind, please move to my humble clan to rest for a while, and allow Loserma to report the recent situation to you in detail. My clan will definitely do our utmost to serve Your Majesty!"
He had already begun to imagine what kind of glory and status the Wind-Whisperer family would obtain after welcoming this "Elf King" back to the family; perhaps they could become the co-ruler of the entire half-elf population of the Eternal Day Empire in one fell swoop!
He did not know that all of this was a trap carefully laid by Li Chen for him and the entire Wind-Whisperer family from beginning to end.
His ecstasy at this moment, and the pride and calculations in his heart, were all already within Li Chen's expectations.
What Li Chen wanted was for them to willingly place him on the altar and then be used by him.
On the way Li Chen was welcomed back to his territory by the Wind-Whisperer family, surrounded by people as if welcoming a deity.
The news about the "awakening of the ancient great being with Elf King bloodline" had already spread like a prairie fire, spreading across the entire southern part of the Eternal Day Empire at an astonishing speed, and was still spreading toward the imperial capital.
Major factions moved upon hearing the news, and even some important branches established by the Eternal Day Holy See in the south obtained relatively accurate intelligence verified from multiple sources through special channels.
Logically speaking, the Holy See should send top powerhouses over at this time, and even the Pope would need to come in person, or the Pope would summon this powerhouse.
But the Holy See is in some trouble now; the Pope has been missing for a long time, and the other bishops of the Holy See are not strong enough, so they are all watching from the sidelines, and no one dares to make contact.
After all, they cannot afford to offend an ancient great being with Elf King bloodline.
Without superiors to direct them, they do not dare to act without authorization.
