Chapter 637: Visitors From The Thorn Empire
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At some point, a tombstone appeared on the summit of Mount Creation. The tombstone was very simple. The epitaph read, “A couple who once loved each other very much.”
Not far from the tombstone, a pansy was on the ground. Looking at the dew on the flowers, it seemed like they had just been plucked.
At that moment, a pair of boots passed by the flowers. “Your Majesty, we’re going back now. Are we going to stay on Mount Creation a while longer? ”
The person who spoke was Pagani, the Elven Kingdom’s third Elder. He was dressed in luxurious human clothing. He adjusted the monocle on his eye and looked behind him with some reluctance.
Almost a week had passed since Watson defeated King Landhar III and conferred the title of King of the Kingdom of King.
During that week, the officials led by Prime Minister Macrotov had re-established the civil officials’ group in Mount Creation. They began to deal with various matters in the Kingdom of Kings. Everything seemed to be on the right track.
“We can’t do anything if we continue to stay here. It’s better to go back. ” The Elven King covered his mouth and coughed as he spoke.
Previously, Frigga had used the elven race chess piece to turn him into a monster. Even though he had recovered, his body still suffered from some side effects. The Elven King was also conferred the title of God of the Elves by Watson, and he had powers that were similar to a god.
As one of the races that Watson had conquered, the elves were the weakest compared to the sea folks and the dragon race. The sea folks and the dragon race had left Mount Creation a few days ago and returned to the Divine Dragon Star and the floating city. Only the elves stayed on Mount Creation to enjoy themselves.
There were many things on Mount Creation that they had never seen before. For example, some wheat that could increase one’s lifespan and strength after eating it. There were also some platinum-tier magical beasts that were in the fields, but those were nothing. The most important thing was that the weapons and armor on Mount Creation were generally powerful. Pagani had changed a pair of spectacles on the mountain. The lenses of his spectacles were diamond-tier.
Elder Daphne had also changed her magic staff to a starlight-tier one on the mountain. Since Watson’s strength had risen to the level of a demigod, Mount Creation could create gods. Those who attended the meeting and the Blackmoon Knights were upgraded to god-tier.
Each of the 100,000 Blackmoon Knights now had the strength of a god. They had different magical sources, and it was not an exaggeration to call them gods.
When had the elves seen such a scene? There were 100,000 gods—even a true God had never witnessed such a spectacle.
As the elves chatted, the Blackmoon Knights, shrouded in the halo of the sun or the moon, flew quickly across the sky above them. Each of those Blackmoon Knights flew like meteors. The weaker ones could not even see the trajectory of the meteors, let alone the figures inside them.
Those 100,000 gods could be considered a powerful force in the divine kingdom, but Watson was not satisfied with that. He had to continue upgrading more people on the mountain to gods.
That process was expected to last for a few years. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Kings had eternal time. No matter how long it took, the world would not change. That was a true eternal kingdom.
If that development continued, as long as Watson was given enough time, it was not impossible to transform the Kingdom of Kings into a place similar to the divine realm.
The Elven King, or rather, the God of the Elves, Jersey, took one last look at the scenery on Mount Creation, then turned around and walked down the mountain.
In the past, he had ambitions to conquer the Holy Dragon Kingdom. He thought that the Holy Dragon Kingdom was his world, but he decided to let go of that idea after Frigga’s death. The world had never belonged to him; everything he had done was just a dream. If time could be reset, he would not attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom again. Instead, he would choose another way to live.
As he lamented, the Elven King glanced at the tombstone not far away from him and the three flowers of different colors in front of it. He sighed. What was the point of conquering other kingdoms? At the very least, he would not be sorry when they parted.
“Let’s go.”
Throwing those chaotic thoughts to the back of his mind, the Elven King led the elves away from Mount Creation.
They wanted to return to the Elven Kingdom. Of course, the Elven Kingdom could no longer be called by that name. Watson said that he wanted to improve the Forest of Eternity and build a paradise that could allow both humans and elves to be happy in it. The name of that paradise had already been decided. It would be called the Forest Kingdom Amusement Park.
The majestic Elven Kingdom was not even a vassal state of the Kingdom of Kings. It could only become a playground for the children in the Kingdom of Kings in the future. The Elven King was not dissatisfied with that result. The elves’ existence was already the result of Watson’s mercy. They did not dare to be dissatisfied.
Empress Gustav, who had returned to the Winter Nation a few days earlier, had also transformed the former Winter Nation into an amusement park. Many residents of the Kingdom of Kings had gone there to experience it.
It was worth mentioning that the environment of the Kingdom of Kings had improved after Watson had implemented the abolition of noble titles. The noblemen could no longer enslave ordinary people and kill them if they were not happy. Even the royal family, who were related to Watson, would be punished if they made a mistake.
Watson used himself as an example. A few days ago, Watson’s brother, Vincent, held a military parade after establishing the new kingdom. In the end, he confiscated many things and made the citizens pay an additional one-third of the total grain harvest. After Watson learned of that, he punished Vincent heavily and demoted him to Deputy God of War.
The new God of War was taken over by Christina, the daughter of the original Sword Saint family. Even Watson’s elder brother was punished after he did something wrong. How could the other ministers and noblemen not accept it? Some of the people still resistant to Watson’s dismissal of the noblemen now had nothing to say. They obediently handed over their land and titles of nobility.
The old noble system collapsed and was replaced by a brand new assessment system. Watson had set up examinations everywhere in the Kingdom of Kings. For example, there would be a general examination on knowledge related to land and planting in farming. If they answered correctly, they would receive a certificate of qualification from Watson and a position as an agronomist. Those who had the position and certification would be able to find higher-paid jobs.
In addition to farming, Watson also provided tests for blacksmiths and craftsmen. The elites from all walks of life in the Kingdom of Kings transitioned from being controlled by great noblemen to being chosen by ordinary people. The blood of the upper echelons had almost completely changed. The Kingdom of Kings was no longer as lifeless as before. Instead, it was full of vitality.
That was the first time those young people held important positions in the kingdom, and they were filled with passion. Many other people coveted their jobs, causing them to have no choice but to continue working hard.
The people in the Kingdom of Kings worked hard to compete with each other.
At that moment, the Blackmoon Castle, which was initially floating on the mountain peak, had been renovated at Mount Creation’s summit. It became more resplendent, like an immortal palace.
Watson was sitting in the office on the highest floor, reading some reports in front of him. Those reports had been submitted to him by Prime Minister Macrotov.
The documents in front of him were still as high as a small mountain even after he had read many of them. Watson held the quill pen, corrected them for a while, and rubbed his forehead. He had a headache. “I did not expect to have to deal with so many things to become the king of a kingdom.”
Previously, when he saw so many people fighting to become the king, he thought it was an attractive thing to do. However, it seemed like he did not enjoy holding great power when he became the king. Instead, he experienced the hardships of working hard for the people.
In the documents in front of him, there were civil disputes caused by the local lords when they bought local territories. There were also reports where ministers attacked each other because of political differences. That was not all. There were also a few novels mixed in with the documents.

[Watson’s Biography 122: The Future King’s Sister.]
As he looked at those two exquisitely decorated books—obviously written by his sister, Margaret—Watson felt the onset of a headache. After the unification of the Kingdom of Kings, he had made Margaret, a clerk. Initially, that position was used to record significant events in the kingdom. In the end, Margaret had been recording him.
Originally, the novels written by Margaret were only popular within Mount Creation, and there were fewer than ten of them. In a short span of a week, the books had increased tenfold. Her ability to write so swiftly had something to do with Watson’s ability to help his family rise to the starlight tier.
After reaching the starlight tier, life, in general, had reached a higher level. That caused Margaret, who initially did not have any talent for writing, to have a surge of ideas. In addition, with the help of a talkative pen, Margaret’s speed of writing books got even faster.
“Watson, take a look. Just now, I spent half an hour writing two more of your heroic biographies. They are about the King’s younger sister and how cute she is.”
Things had started again.
The shining crown above Watson’s head almost fell to the ground. In those few days, Margaret would go to him for comments as soon as she finished writing her novel. However, he did not dare say that his sister’s writing was terrible. The latest book did not even have anything to do with him. The focus was on his younger sister, Jeanne.
Watson felt that it would be better to name the book The Legend of Jeanne’s Heroes.
“Oh, right! I have another matter to ask you. Just now, there were two foreign envoys from Mount Creation. They claimed to be from the Thorn Empire and wanted to visit the king. Do you want to meet them?”
“Of course.”
Watson quickly got up and waved his starlight robe gently. The crown on his head shone as well. It was better to meet the people from the Thorn Empire than to stay there. Furthermore, he had already occupied three kingdoms, and the remaining two kingdoms would be annexed by him sooner or later.
He thought that news about the Winter Nation and the Elven Kingdom’s surrender would only reach the Thorn Empire and the Dwarven Kingdom in a month or two. He did not expect the kingdoms to send envoys so soon. That made Watson, who was well-informed about the Bramble Empire, interested in the two envoys.
…
“The Kingdom of Kings’ royal palace sure is magnificent.” The envoy from the Thorn Empire, Jayla, lowered her head and looked at the cooked Phoenix eggs, some platinum-tier magical beast meat, the precious sun and moon fruits, and a bottle of water from the Spring of Life on the table. She swallowed her saliva; she looked like she wanted to open her mouth to eat but did not know how to do so.
She was one of Thorn Empire’s nine divine generals. Previously, her king had ordered her to ask Nidhogg to deal with the countless corpses that had appeared in the empire. She had discussed it with one of her companions, Balroy, who was also one of the nine divine generals. She decided to go to that distant kingdom to see what had happened in the Holy Dragon Kingdom and why a new magical source had emerged.
Why did the Dragon Kings like Nidhogg keep going there?
The Thorn Empire was not close to the Holy Dragon Kingdom. They were powerful enough to fly for a week, but they were told that the Holy Dragon Kingdom had changed dynasty as soon as they arrived. The new Holy Dragon Kingdom was a kingdom that had merged three kingdoms into one, and its name had changed to the Kingdom of Kings.
When they first arrived, they were shocked by what they saw. The first thing that appeared in front of them were nine huge starlight barriers, and nine similarly massive flying stars were rapidly rotating inside the starlight barriers. They waited outside for several hours, and when the soldiers opened the starlight barriers and went out to patrol, they had managed to sneak in. After they entered, a vast and glorious kingdom stood before them. It was as if the gods had left behind a divine kingdom.
They could see the tall divine mountain inside the divine kingdom from the outside. There was a huge World Tree on the mountain. There was also a waterfall-like Spring of Life that plunged from the World Tree. Many powerful people with at least diamond-tier strength flew in the air. There were also dragons in the sky, and below them were emerald-green waterways. The sea folks were playing in the waterways.
Humans, dragons, and the sea folks were three different races, but at that moment, they were getting along harmoniously. That scene almost shocked Jayla and Balroy. So, the two of them asked the people they met on the way. After learning about the changes in the Kingdom of Kings, they were prepared for a visit.
At that moment, Balroy, who was sitting not far away from Jayla, picked up a sun fruit on the table in front of him, put it in his mouth, and took a bite. His resolute face was full of silence.
After a long while, he said, “Indeed, the Kingdom of Kings, merged between three kingdoms, is more powerful than I imagined. The sun fruit, which can only ripen after a thousand years, is just an ordinary fruit here! You can even drink water from the Spring of Life as you please. That thing used to be the most precious treasure in the Elven Kingdom. I remember it very clearly. ”
Balroy picked up the cup that contained water from the Spring of Life and looked at it as he spoke. The cup was made of magic, and it emitted a pure aura of life. It had water from the Spring of Life, so the air could not damage it.
Even though he praised the water from the Spring of Life, Balroy did not open it because he knew its effect. If he drank it, although he would gain eternal life, his strength would forever be frozen at that moment. He was still young, and he could become stronger in the future.
“Friends from the Thorn Empire. You have come from afar, but I did not come out in time to welcome you. I apologize for my rudeness.”
As he was thinking, a tender voice suddenly sounded. Balroy turned around and saw a 12 or 13-year-old youth standing before him. The youth wore a crown and a starlight robe. He did not look old, but his gaze was intense. It contained everything, and just one look at him gave one the feeling of being in control of the world.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Before entering Mount Creation, he had heard that the king of the Kingdom of Kings was a youth, but he had doubts in his heart. However, since he had seen Watson, he did not need anyone to introduce him. He was confident that the youth in front of him was the king of the Kingdom of Kings.
Balroy and Jayla stood up and bowed. While they were sizing up Watson, Watson was also sizing up the two people in front of him. The man had brown hair, while the woman had red hair. There was a vine whip wrapped around their waists that was full of thorns. Both of them were wearing linen clothes that were unique to the east. Their auras were at diamond-tier, and they looked very polite.
“Welcome. May I know what brings you here from the Thorn Empire?”
Watson gestured for the two of them to sit down, and he sat down on the sofa across from them. A waiter came over and brought him a cup, pouring him the same water from the Spring of Life. Without saying anything, he picked up the cup and took a sip.
“Your Majesty, we came here from the Thorn Empire because we sensed that someone in the Holy Dragon Kingdom had created a new source of magical power. So, we decided to come and take a look. Now, it seems like the elite who created the new magical source must be you, Your Majesty,” Jayla said with some flattery.
In her opinion, no one in the Kingdom of Kings could create a magical source other than Watson.
However, she did not expect Watson to look at her with a strange expression and asked, “You feel the aura of the magical source? Which one did you feel?”
“Which one?
“Your Majesty, why do you ask that? Was there more than one new magical source created in the Kingdom of Kings?”
Jayla and Balroy looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.. In their perception, the only magical source created in the Kingdom of Kings was the one that emitted the death element. Other than the death-elemental magical source, what other source was there in the Kingdom of Kings?
