I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]-Chapter 1222: 18.60 First Grey Star - Anomalies in the Capital.

Somewhere on the land where the Ruins of Time are located.

It looks like a simple ruin site from ancient civilization, but everyone knows that it is close because, when the door is activated, a translucent white aura will cover the interior space of the door. It is like an activated space portal that everyone can cross. The entrance of the said ruin is a broken stone door. It is made of two towering pillars and an arc.

Others can even see through the hole, which is the scenery beyond the horizons.

The broken door is actually surrounded by some spell circles that both block the qi from entering and keep people from getting too close to the stone door arc. Then, the space door flickered, as if someone were forcing it open. This was noticed by one of the guards and reported it to the palace right away.

The event lasted only a few seconds, and before the palace people arrived, there were no more odd movements from the door of the ruins.

Capital City, Imperial Palace...

The King was sitting on his throne in the throne room, flanked by his ministers and a small number of men kneeling in front of him, guarding the ruins' entrance as a result of the anomaly that had occurred there.

"Your Majesty, we swear to the heavens above that what we saw is real. The door to the ruins of time flickered for a few seconds before once again returning to its dormant mode," the leader of the guards said.

"Impossible! The spell circles around that ruin are connected to all the Heavenly Guardians in existence. Only when one of them dies will things possibly change," a minister said.

But he heard that Heavenly Guardian Fei is only gravely injured and not dead; does this mean that being on the verge of death affects the restraints in the ruins as well? That spell circle is connected to the wellbeing of the Heavenly Guardians, after all. King Xingyun thought differently. After all, only a few people knew about what happened to Heavenly Guardian Fei, who guards the Anairam Trench.

The ministers saw that their king had become silent, and only the prime minister knew what the king was thinking about—in addition to surmising that the anomaly in the Ruins of Time might have something to do with the fate of the Heavenly Guardian Fei—but they were unable to apprehend the man who was responsible for it because it would have involved a confrontation between two powerful clans against the monarchy.

Sigh~

"Your Majesty? Is there something wrong?" A minister asked.

King Xingyun responded, "Um, it's not a big problem but might be the cause of the anomaly in the Ruins of Time. Fu Zin explained it to them."

"Yes, your majesty!"

Stepping forward, the prime minister repeated the events that had befallen Heavenly Guardian Fei, leaving the ministers and guards equally shocked—who would have thought that someone so young and someone they knew could have taken out the notorious Heavenly Guardian Fei, who had been imprisoned in the Anairam Trench?

Lord Mo Xuejing is the strongest descendant of the Mo Clan, and now that the prime minister is telling them that he was the one who beat up Heavenly Guardian Fei, almost everyone is shocked. He is the heir to the Mo Clan and Satan's legal partner. He is also one of the few joker-class hunters in existence, supposedly only second to the Heavenly Guardian in terms of strength.

How old is Mo Xuejing in relation to Heavenly Guardian Fei? He is Ye Jieye's partner, after all, and he possesses strength that surpasses his years. The theoretical background is also strong. Despite not being cut off from their respective clans, they are permitted to reside in Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang's domain.

Adding up all of their advantages, they had the support of three Heavenly Guardians, two powerful clans, and their own status as joker-class hunters—hunters who were superior to all other hunters in the world—so one word from them and the Hunter Hall would undoubtedly be their strength, which in and of itself could already be a threat to the palace.

In addition, the Somatic Town still owes Ye Jieye for saving their place, so Heavenly Guardian Xian Wu would undoubtedly be on his side if something went wrong. Even if Mo Xuejing might have caused the anomaly of the Ruins of Time, can they really blame him? What will the palace do if this group rebels?

The other ministers ask for more details from the Prime Minister.

"Did the heir of the Mo truly beat up Heavenly Guardian Fei half dead?"

"It's real. The satellite video showed it," the prime minister answered.

"Why did he beat him up?"

"That's because Heavenly Guardian Fen called the children of Satan and Mo Xuejing as toys. This greatly agreed with the heir of Mo," Prime Minister Fu Zin said. "Do you think we can invite them to the palace and have them punished?"

The fact that Mo Xuejing had already defeated a Heavenly Guardian startled the ministers and officials present, and when they considered the addition of an infamous demon such as Ye Jieye to the list, they could not help but imagine the worst-case scenario in which his enormous dragon set the palace on fire.

"No, no, no. It wasn't their fault after all. There is no need to invite them here."

"That's right. Their children are still too young; leaving them alone in the house doesn't seem like a good idea. Ha."

"The anomaly in the Ruins of Time had also disappeared. Let's just ask some experts to watch over it."

"That's right. Let's just focus on the ruins!"

The ministers' words betrayed their covert fear of Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing. While they were able to suppress them in the past by using their status as a senior or a member of the palace, this fear is now evident in Mo Xuejing's defeat of Fei, a Heavenly Guardian. The couple's status can now be equal to that of a Heavenly Guardian. It is a difficult existence to be enemies with.

The prime minister scoffed inwardly at the other ministers' reactions. Most ministers are like this, bending down to the strongest and badly adjusting to every circumstance.

'Parasites!' Fu Zin held back the curse in his heart.

They felt the ground tremble. It was an earthquake that struck even the capital city, and King Xingyun had long anticipated their response. He was expressionless from the start to the finish, and nobody knows what he was thinking in that quiet moment.

Rumbles~

"Ah~ What's happening!?"

"Earthquake! It's an earthquake!"

King Xingyun spread his qi to check what was happening in his kingdom and saw that the cause of the chaos happened to be the weird tower of god they had chosen to lock down. The whole tower is shaking, but he can find the cause. The prime minister immediately stood beside the king to protect him. The other ministers, on the other hand, were scrambling around the throne room in fear.

Like ants in a heated pan.

"Send someone to the Tower of God immediately. Tell them to activate the restraining spell on it!" King Xingyun said.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers kneeling on the ground all ran out of the throne hall. They listen to the orders and immediately set off to where the Tower of God is located

King Xingyun commanded, "Send people to appease the people in the capital. Just tell them that this is an ordinary earthquake to prevent chaos from happening within the kingdom."

Now that only King Xingyun and his prime minister, Fu Zin, remained in the room, the other ministers had all left. King Xingyun could not help but compress his throbbing temples, wondering why things kept happening one after the other.

Sigh~

"Fu, I want to abdicate. Let's give this useless seat to the crown prince," King Xingyun said.

Prime Minister Fu Zin said, "Please don't say that, your majesty. The crowned prince is only fifteen and not even an adult yet. If you give him the throne, the second prince would definitely usurp the throne from the young crown prince." freewebnσvel.cøm

"I know. Even though the Second Prince is the eldest, he is only born from an imperial concubine. The throne can only be given to the children of the empress. Moreover, he is cruel in nature and lascivious. He will only offend people if given a higher position. Even so, I cannot kill him.

He is still my nephew after all," King Xingyun said. He looks even more fatigued, thinking about his own family.

Fu Zin asked, "How about the eldest princess? She is the daughter of the Empress."

"That is also an option, but you know how arrogant that little girl is. If she wanted something, she would do everything to get it. She doesn't suit to lead the kingdom. Sigh~" King Xingyun said.

The Prime Minister can feel the fatigue in the king's voice and pat his shoulder as his friend.

"It should be okay. You're still young and can still lead until the crown prince reaches that age. I'll support you, okay?"

"Thank you, Fu." King Xingyun was grateful for this friend of his who stood by his side at all times. He is his greatest support and his confidant.

Though Xingyun is referred to as the king by the people, he is actually more of a regent. As for the reason he is the king, it is because his elder brother is weak and bedridden and there was no other option. As for the empress or lord consort, they are his brother's partners. As for his real relationship with Fu Zin, they are lovers who support each other.

King Xingyun said, "Can we summon all the Heavenly Guardians? I want to ask them about the Ruins of Time."

"I will arrange it for you," Fu Zin said.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Tower of God,. A throne made of black jade can be found. On it, a man wearing a black robe sat motionlessly.

This person suddenly whispered, "Soon I will be able to come out."

The tower stopped trembling, and the earthquake stopped. The tower's entrance was somewhat deserted after the earthquake struck the area. Amidst the chaos, a man dressed entirely in black, including a hood and cloak, slipped into the tower while the guards were out checking the affected area of the earthquake.

After entering the tower, the man removed the hood to reveal the face of the Second Prince, Xingju.

The second prince, Xingju, discovered the tower's secret in the forbidden library within the palace. He discovered that this tower has the power to grant anyone's wish, no matter how great the cost. He also discovered through innumerable bits of information he purchased with money that Heavenly Guardians Mu and Lu had previously visited this tower, though no one else knew why they had gone.

Xingju, the second prince, chooses to gamble.

"Since you aren't going to give me the crown? I can only gamble with this tower. Don't let me down, Tower of God." Second Prince Xingju mumbles as his eyes glint with the greed and malice all bad humans possess.
