Chapter 119: Three Years

After Fulade's return, three years passed peacefully.

But during those three years, beneath the surface there were raging waves and hidden currents.

In the second month after Fulade solidified his realm and ended his seclusion.

In the southern region of the Dark World, two successive powerful auras rose, a sign that a creature had broken through to Level Three.

The time between them differed by only a few days.

In the same year, after the previous Breakthrough Level Three, four months later, the northern and western regions also saw two powerful auras that flashed and vanished.

Thereafter, roughly every six months, a powerful Level Three aura rose.

It is easy to imagine that the aftereffects of Fulade and Ma'erjin's last breakthrough are gradually manifesting.

Facing these suddenly appearing strong ones.

The Dark Faction naturally did not dare to be lax; after investigation, four auras were found, surprisingly appearing in the southeast sea of the Dark World, the Western Sea, and the two great oceans.

Two more appeared in the northern ice plains and the northwestern Moor Forest.

The final aura originated from the eastern underground.

It was only at this point that the various oceanic races and the underground world appeared for the first time in Fulade's, or rather most people's, view.

And because of the emergence of the major races, while the Holy Court was fully retracting its defenses and retreating from Istanbul, the Dark Faction voluntarily halted its offensive momentum.

To prevent the Holy Court from desperate measures, summoning holy spirits and causing irreparable loss that others could profit from.

Of course there was another hidden secret, a clandestine meeting with the Pope, the leader of the Holy Court.

It was only then that Fulade realized what Luo Si meant by the "backhand"! The Holy Court's top leader had already been under his own control! Recalling this, Fulade felt why dealing with the Holy Court had been so smooth, far less difficult than he had imagined.

And that so-called Pope turned out to be the old man who had given him blood.

The old man was named Lawrence, a remnant of the previous era, but he was not native to this world; as for his origin, he did not say, and Fulade did not ask.

Even with Fulade's current strength, the exact cultivation could not be discerned; at most it seemed to be a Level Three pinnacle, commonly called half‑god level! Because the Micro World can only sustain half‑god beings at most.

His purpose in appearing now was to prevent Fulade, in a moment of impulse, from completely eradicating the Holy Court's existence.

Under Fulade's puzzled gaze, the old vampire said, "The Holy Court is like a lighthouse; no matter how battered it is, as long as it still shines, it will not attract the attention of the Light. If it goes out…"

Needless to say, Fulade immediately understood the implication.

This meeting was not made public by Fulade, so when he decided to abandon the golden opportunity to completely eradicate the Holy Court, he was met with strong opposition for the first time.

However, through Fulade's forced insistence and the justification of avoiding the use of spirit‑summoning during a Holy Court crisis, the proposal passed.

Aside from Fulade, only Queen Malina and Weiluona knew about this matter.

……

Three years flashed by.

Aside from these major events, Fulade basically spent each day wandering among various women.

Enjoying the blessings of the Qi people.

Another morning arrived.

He looked at the dazzling blond, big‑eyed little red‑hooded Wailali, and the mother‑daughter pair of Weiliya, both with golden hair.

He gently pinched the two perky hips, large and small, and in no time began another aerobic session.

It wasn't until noon that Fulade, feeling refreshed, stood up, tossed aside the exhausted mother and daughter, and walked outward.

"Angel, this fertility‑boosting potion of yours isn't doing much; it's been three years and no belly has shown any sign."

"It can't be a fake drug, can it?"

Entering the living room, Fulade complained to the approaching Angelique. Angelique, with shoulder‑length blond hair, dressed in a black, fashion‑patterned magical gown, gave Fulade a displeased glance.

Since getting into Angelique's bed, Fulade increasingly felt his standing in her heart was diminishing.

Sure enough, she rolled her eyes—a change from before.

"Prince, I've told you, if the life levels differ greatly, the chance of conception is heavily affected; what can I do?"

"Moreover, this medicine only works on beings below Level Two; its effect on Level Three beings is negligible."

"At your level, successfully bearing offspring is already very difficult, unless"

"You mean, finding a woman of equal level would increase the odds!" Before Angelique could finish, Fulade rubbed his chin and pondered.

"Isn't that wrong? Ma'erjin is also Level Three."

Angelique's charming eyes rolled, giving Fulade a glance, clearly unwilling to discuss further: "The Floating Ship is ready, Prince~!"

Seeing Angelique's displeased expression and the slight upturn of her rosy lips, Fulade knew the woman obsessed with magical experiments was getting angry.

But soothing her was simple—a single injection would do.

And Fulade did exactly that.

Floating Ship.

A delicate white hand firmly pressed against a pane of glass, gazing at the rolling clouds in the sky.

His gaze was distant, suppressing his voice as much as possible.

Behind him, a pair of strong hands kept patting the high‑arched peach, producing crisp "pop‑pop" sounds.

The destination this time was Moor Forest.

In three years, Fulade had visited Moor Forest many times.

He was already familiar with Malinfisen and those plant‑type beings; this trip was to recruit them into the Dark Parliament.

Precisely, both sides had long harbored intentions.

This time was merely a procedural step.

The reason Fulade proactively went to Moor Forest for a meeting was because of the Fanatic Believer Cinderella.

In the movie Cinderella, Cinderella, aided by her fairy godmother, successfully attended the palace banquet and became the prince's partner.

But in this world, Fulade's appearance shattered Cinderella's original trajectory.

Because Cinderella's belief in Fulade.

She cannot help but regard the fairy godmother's arrival as a response of the deities to her devout faith, and thus her spiritual belief in Fulade increases day by day, becoming even more devout.

But the prince's appearance did not make the two a couple; instead they became half‑brother and sister with the same mother.

When Fulade heard the news, they could not help but be stunned.

Cinderella's movie shouldn't have this plot point!

What's even stranger is that the king actually made Cinderella a princess.

He also publicly claimed that she was the child he had lost for many years.

The king and queen simultaneously recognized her as a daughter.

Such a bizarre scene sparked Fulade's curiosity while also making them sniff a hint of conspiracy.

As for the exact circumstances, one can only find out by going to see.
