The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1069: The Confusion Across the World

Across the Revitas world, the sight of the heavenly lightning strikes caused confusion but also relief for countless people.

At this moment, they still did not know that the lightning strikes had spread across the world.

As long as devils existed somewhere, the lightning would descend upon them.

The ones who felt the most relief were, of course, those stationed on the front line. They were presented with the view of a lightning storm hunting every devil.

Although they felt confused, they could not help but feel satisfied. Watching the devils being obliterated by the lightning strikes after everything they had done truly brought satisfaction to their hearts.

The arrogant and vicious devils could only run in panic and despair as the lightning erased their existence.

After the world was cleansed of all devils, the lightning strikes stopped.

Above the Island of the Immortal’s Sword, Aldrian had already retracted his heavenly lightning. The spatial rifts around him had also closed.

He took a deep breath and released it.

Finally, there were no more devils in this world.

He then looked below at Ling Xiao, who gazed at him with admiration and amazement.

"I will teleport us to the floating vessel there. Remember to act as we already discussed," Aldrian said through voice transmission.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Ling Xiao replied.

Their bodies instantly disappeared from where they stood and reappeared inside the interstellar vessel, where everyone inside was still unconscious.

Ling Xiao was surprised by the sudden change in his surroundings because he truly had not sensed anything before they appeared here. He simply found himself here helplessly before he could react.

His gaze once again showed amazement at Aldrian’s ability.

They teleported right beside Prince Martis and Princess Xena.

First, Aldrian woke Prince Martis. He injected his golden energy for a moment until the prince suddenly woke up with a gasp and sat up quickly. He looked disoriented and confused, but the first thing he saw was Aldrian, which made him sigh in relief.

"What happened, Your Excellency? Why did I suddenly faint? What—" He stopped his question as he finally noticed that beside Aldrian stood a new face he had never seen before.

He first thought that the man was one of the vessel’s crew, but he was not. His attire was not in the style of their kingdom.

Aldrian showed an apologetic smile. "I triggered something on the island, and it caused you and everyone here to faint. My apologies." He then looked at Princess Xena and moved closer to her.

While Aldrian woke the princess, Prince Martis observed Ling Xiao. Although he could not sense his cultivation, he could not help but feel that Ling Xiao was an extremely powerful cultivator. Even though he simply stood there without releasing any aura and remained silent, he felt like he was standing before a great sword.

A large, sharp sword.

He gulped and wondered who this person was.

Princess Xena finally woke up as well. She sat up with a gasp, her expression disoriented. She looked at Aldrian beside her and asked,

"What happened, Your Excellency? We were watching you land on the island, and then suddenly a blinding light appeared. I felt a powerful pressure, and after that, I do not remember anything."

"I triggered something on the island, and it caused a blinding light that made all of you unconscious. My apologies," Aldrian replied with apologetic tone and smile.

Princess Xena looked at Aldrian suspiciously before turning her gaze to Ling Xiao, who stood not far from them. This was the first time she had seen him, and the fact that he wore robes not seen in their kingdom’s style meant that this man came from outside the kingdom.

She thought that Aldrian was the one who brought him here.

"Your Excellency, who is he?" she asked.

Aldrian looked at Princess Xena and Prince Martis with a slight smile.

"Your Highnesses, let me introduce him. He is one of my family’s guardians from the Ancient Blue Gate World, Ling Xiao. He is one of my trusted people." Ling Xiao slightly bowed in greeting toward them.

The two royal siblings looked at Ling Xiao again with surprise. Someone from Aldrian’s family and a trusted person?

Aldrian never told them that he came with someone.

Was he thrown into this world together with this man?

Although several questions appeared in their minds, they did not ask them.

"Anyway, I have already achieved what I intended to do here. We can return to the kingdom now," Aldrian said, which made the two royal siblings stunned.

Already?

They did not know what had happened while they were unconscious, and they wanted to ask Aldrian about it, but he had already stood up and looked elsewhere.

"Let’s talk about what just happened later. We need to wake the others first," he said.

Prince Martis and Princess Xena could only swallow their questions and curiosity and save them for later. They began waking everyone inside the vessel, and not long after, they started their journey back to the kingdom.

Aldrian knew that he could not escape the questioning minds of the two royal siblings. He also could not simply brush off what he had done on the island as if nothing had happened. He knew that he had already done something extraordinary in their eyes.

It would not be good if he did not give an explanation of what had happened, as that would create distance in their relationship.

He had already prepared the kind of explanation he would give them, and that was what he told them throughout their journey back to the kingdom.

He told them that the island was a place where an immortal had stayed in ancient times, which was not far from what many people of this world had long guessed. The stone tablet was also the immortal’s legacy.

The engravings on the stone tablet contained the immortal’s sword comprehension. They were words meant to be comprehended, and Aldrian simply told them that he did not yet understand what the immortal truly meant.

He told them what was engraved on the stone tablet and did not mind sharing it. They would not understand the true meaning of the engraving anyway.

As for the blinding light, he said it was triggered the moment he touched the stone tablet, and it caused his sword comprehension to rise. He did not explain the existence of the underground hall, as he thought that was unnecessary.

After hearing Aldrian’s explanation, the royal siblings more or less accepted it. They did not have much choice anyway since they did not know what had truly happened, and Aldrian’s explanation seemed reasonable.

Aldrian had not yet spoken about the purge he carried out against all the devils in this world, as he intended to let them discover it themselves.

They continued talking about the island and occasionally about the devils until they finally reached the kingdom in the afternoon. The moment they arrived, a festive welcome had already been prepared as news about what happened at the devils’ headquarters had spread.

King Darius was already waiting for them at the landing zone together with many denizens of the capital city. The atmosphere was truly joyous and boisterous, with many people shouting the names of Aldrian and the royal siblings.

Although most of the troops still stayed at the devils’ headquarters to take care of the aftermath, the parade to the palace was no less festive.

In fact, it became even more festive than any victory parade the royal family had ever held. That was because many people wanted to see Aldrian with their own eyes, as many had not yet had the chance to see him.

That night, the capital city held a festival to celebrate the success of the mission, and the people celebrated it to the fullest.

They had not experienced an occasion like this for a long time, and it was truly worthy of celebration.

The news of the destruction of the devils’ headquarters could be said to be a great boost to their morale, and it was a major step toward completely eradicating the devils from their world.

However, another piece of news also spread across the city and throughout the kingdom. In fact, this news spread across many parts of the world.

It was the news about the mysterious heavenly lightning strikes that killed countless devils across the world. Reports continued to arrive that mysterious heavenly lightning suddenly rained down, specifically targeting only devils wherever they were.

Many powers across the world tried to make sense of what had truly happened.

Why had mysterious heavenly lightning suddenly appeared and specifically targeted the devils?

Many believed that it was the heavens finally delivering punishment to the devils for their evil acts in this world.

But many others, especially cultivators, did not immediately believe that it was purely the will of the heavens.

They knew that this kind of heavenly punishment was not something that would suddenly appear without any sign.

What happened today was more like someone had triggered heavenly lightning strikes, yet somehow they could target only the devils.

Many debated how that was possible, considering that it was the power of the heavens they were talking about, and the phenomenon had occurred across the entire world. How could someone possibly trigger or control something like that?

As mixed reactions spread across the world, King Darius, his advisor, Prince Martis, and Princess Xena did not know what to think about this news.

They were the only ones who knew about Aldrian’s plan to end the war of this world as soon as possible by visiting the Island of the Immortal’s Sword.

At first, they still did not understand the connection between visiting that place and ending the war against the devils when they heard Aldrian’s plan.

However, after hearing the news, they felt that the timing was too perfect.

Today Aldrian had visited that island, and then these kinds of events happened.

They naturally began to connect the events themselves.

Was this what Aldrian meant by ending the war in this world as soon as possible?

Was all of this truly Aldrian’s doing?
