Myriad Devils-Chapter 308: Seeking the Palace of Light

Although Maarsha had the wrong idea, the truth was that he also sought to return with her to the Palace of Light.

Obviously, this had nothing to do with joining the Celestial Heart Atavistic Empire.

Though the two cosmic treasures Desire Devouring had wielded were retrieved by the Heart Consuming Great Lord, Elshen was not particularly aggrieved.

After all, his main purpose for appearing in this world was to acquire the cosmic treasure located within a Realm Heaven that was yet to show signs of appearing.

This Realm Heaven was supposed to appear many years ago; however, the future contained countless possibilities, and anyone could play out.

Only the one with great wisdom could accurately discern which ones had the highest likelihood of playing out.

The Boundless Light Empress had divined this Realm Heaven, even though the nightscape forbidden land obscured the secrets of Heaven & Earth.

However!

It was also because the secrets of Heaven & Earth were obscured that she did not know that the fortuity she divined was related to a Realm Heaven.

Once Elshen played this right, there was a great possibility that he could mislead the Primary-Level creature, Boundless Light Empress.

After all, the Palace of Light provided a good opportunity for him.

It was dangerous, yes, because this was the Boundless Light Empress’s domain, but it was due to that exact fact as well that it was beneficial to him.

The Palace of Light was the complex dimension forged by the Boundless Light Empress.

This was forged through the merger of her base dimension and her secondary dimension.

Her base dimension was certainly based on the principles of light.

Very likely, her secondary dimension contained the secrets to the principle of Destiny, alongside another principle.

The secrets contained within this Palace of Light were immeasurably beneficial.

And he needed this.

Though the requirements for him to enter the Dimension Lord realm were unique to himself, the process of forging dimensions thereafter remained the same.

The Heaven Purifying Lotus was a Supreme Top-Tier cosmic treasure, and he would naturally seek to forge a dimension with its assistance.

But he was not favored by the principle of Light.

The Palace of Light was an immeasurable opportunity for him to attempt complex comprehension and enlighten the principles of Light.

And this was not all.

He also had a pair of ’Wings of Light’ that contained infinite mysteries.

He was unable to master the first rank of the Divine Battle Art, Wings of Cosmic Tearing, because he did not have a basic understanding of his own wings.

Otherworldly creatures would find this laughable.

Each of them had an intricate understanding of every molecule that assisted in the maintenance of their bodies.

They had rebuilt their bodies, uniting spirit and flesh.

Elshen theorized that, by enlightening the principles of Light, he would begin to understand the mysteries contained within the Wings of Light.

The Palace of Light was vital to achieving this, but this was not all...

Imagine the secrets of Destiny contained in the Palace of Light as well?

This was what the Boundless Light Empress was famous for.

Even if there were other principles, Anon was yet to attempt complex comprehension.

The principle of Light was more than enough to satisfy his greed. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

But the principles of Destiny...

That was something that favored him.

’I must enter the Palace of Light!’ Elshen inwardly assessed.

Wherever it was located in the nightscape forbidden land, Astaria had already deduced that the Realm Heaven was yet to show signs of appearing.

And even if it did, Heaven & Earth’s secrets were obscured by the nightscape forbidden land’s inherent nature, so no one else would know, nor would they come to know.

This made it possible for him to enter the Palace of Light and experience a period of accelerated growth in the enlightenment of these two principles, Light & Destiny.

However!

To appear as Maarsha’s destined fortuity was a complex and delicate matter.

The Fourth princess was already a confused admirer, so this was not difficult, but the Boundless Light Empress was not so easily fooled.

More than that...

Protector Relief raised his hand and said helplessly, "Lady Maarsha, this...."

Realm Father Elshen’s image was notorious due to his actions, and from the very beginning, Protector Relief had an unfavorable impression of him.

Their first interaction only confirmed this conjecture.

Elshen was not a creature that eased Protector Relief’s heart when he saw him near the Fourth princess.

This was a scheming fellow who intentionally delayed his own actions when joining the battle against Desire Devouring.

One must understand that from beginning to end, during the entire confrontation, Elshen did not appear pressured or strained.

The situation was always in his control, and yet he willingly watched a struggling Protector Relief bear even more pressure.

And that final attack...

Protector Relief felt that Realm Father Elshen had intentionally attacked his River Mountain Stamp as well.

With his heart still affected by the remnant power of Desire Devouring, and after falling into Realm Father Elshen’s schemes...

Protector Relief could only display sixty or seventy percent of his strength.

Currently, the strongest person here is Realm Father Elshen.

And this gap was further widened due to his schemes.

This was a wicked creature.

No way could Protector Relief allow the Fourth princess to walk such a person into the Palace of Light.

And even if Realm Father Elshen was more powerful, Protector Relief did not feel threatened by his presence.

"Lady Maarsha, I mean no disrespect when I say this, but not just anyone and everyone can be invited to the Palace of Light." Protector Relief shook his head.

The face of the Fourth princess heated up from embarrassment.

But he did not give her any chance to retort, and instead looked toward Elshen and revealed a pleasant smile, saying, "We of the Celestial Heart Atavistic Empire have heard of your fame."

"Seeing your prowess firsthand was an eye-opening sight, oh, Realm Father Elshen."

Upon saying this, Protector Relief went silent, looking toward Maarsha as if it were her cue for them to depart.

Elshen tilted his head.

Was that all?

Did he not save their lives?

Or was he acting as a Saint for free?

Earning the Heart-Consuming Great Lord’s rage for free?

But Protector Relief did not seem bothered about all of this. Instead, from a distance, the ancient pavilion made its way towards them.

"The Lady still has a task to complete, so I do hope you may excuse us." He cupped his fists and added.

Thank you for saving our lives, but we are members of the Celestial Heart Atavistic Empire, so this was what you should’ve done anyway.

We have things to do, so we’ll be leaving now.

You should as well.

This was what his honey-coated words actually meant, and through that pleasant smile on his face, there was an utterly cold and arrogant heart.

Because he was a member of the Celestial Heart Atavistic Empire.

Protector of the Fourth princess...

Maarsha was fuming.

She glared at the one assigned to protect her.

This person had such a role for all the princesses in their journey to grasping that destined fortuity, but this was her first time actually leaving the Palace of Light.

This meant that there were no particular feelings between them.

Elshen had remained silent for a while, deep in thought.

After a while, he said expressionlessly, "Protector Relief, I will warn you once."

"I, Realm Father Elshen, am not a patient person."
