The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 977: Leaving the Divine Wrath Sea

Ao Tianhai nodded and stood up. His height, much taller than Aldrian’s, made Aldrian have to look upward if he wanted to see his face.

Remembering something, Aldrian spoke to Ao Tianhai.

"Ah, right. I came here with my wives. If my wives ask about your identity, just don’t say anything about you being from the higher heavens or any of your connection with me. Don’t tell my past to them. Is that clear?"

Ao Tianhai nodded without hesitation. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Although he replied calmly, inwardly he was surprised as Aldrian had said that he already had wives.

In the many stories told about the legend of the Absolute Ruler, he was described as a solitary emperor, with no woman by his side as a companion.

His existence itself was too high and too sacred for any woman of that era to harbor romantic feelings for him. That was why, despite the countless beauties who revered him, no one dared to entertain such thoughts, as doing so would have been considered blasphemous.

If there truly had been a woman who became his wife at that time, then her status and position would have been revered by all beings in the universe. Even the heavens themselves might have placed that woman at the same level as the Absolute Ruler.

Once again, all of that would have happened IF the Absolute Ruler had chosen someone as his wife.

Now, here he was, hearing the Absolute Ruler himself say that he already had multiple women.

He could not help but feel glad that the Great Emperor was able to enjoy his life despite the heavy responsibility entrusted to his shoulders by countless beings.

Personally, he felt that this was how the Great Emperor was supposed to be, accompanied by his harem, displaying his might not only in strength, but also as a man.

Aldrian and Ao Tianhai then walked outside the secret chamber, where they saw Gerald still unconscious. Ao Tianhai did not know the circumstances of this man, so he remained silent.

Aldrian that looked at the unconscious Gerald thought that it would be best if he remained unconscious until they returned to the cruiser.

"Your Majesty, what will you do with this place? This place has no use anymore, and there are no treasures here, as I left most of my treasures in the clan for them to use," Ao Tianhai asked.

"Let’s keep it as it is. Although this place no longer has any use, it is inside a separate realm that could still be useful for many things. Who knows, it might be useful in the future," Aldrian replied with a smile.

After making the entire Blue Pearl World his domain, he could finally sense the entire formation that covered the whole Divine Wrath Sea.

Besides the formation that created dangerous phenomena and illusions in the surrounding core area, the core area itself was actually a separate realm from the outside world.

If someone could pass through the illusion region, they would undoubtedly step into this place, which already existed within a separate realm.

That was why, when he stepped into the core area, he found himself facing a truly contrasting scene compared to the chaotic region surrounding it.

The sun above was a real object created from fire laws, and it actually acted as the eye of the formation together with the moon, which was made from earth laws.

Aldrian was truly amazed by the idea of using a moving object like an artificial sun and moon as the eye of a formation. Such a thing would have been impossible with the knowledge of the First Heaven.

Ao Tianhai nodded, and Aldrian teleported all of them above the island.

Ao Tianhai was stunned when he found himself already outside the island, and he could not help but feel amazed by Aldrian’s ability. This was the first time he felt that there was nothing he could do but be dragged along through teleportation by someone else.

He just stood there, and suddenly his surroundings had already changed.

It was truly amazing.

’As expected of His Majesty,’ he thought.

"I will teleport us to my cruiser, where my group is already waiting," Aldrian said after he observed the entire core area. Ao Tianhai nodded, and a split second later, their surroundings changed once more. At this moment, they were already on the cruiser.

The moment they appeared, Sylphia, Baek Jimin, Angelica, and Klein were stunned, but then the three women’s expressions turned to relief.

"Dear, you’re finally back, but—" Sylphia said, as her and the others’ gazes shifted toward the two unfamiliar men.

However, before they could ask anything, Klein’s shout resounded beside them.

"Father!" He ran toward his unconscious father.

Despite the thick beard that had grown while Gerald was trapped inside the core region, Klein could still recognize his father by his attire. As he touched his father and examined his condition, he was glad to find that he was still alive.

"Don’t worry, Klein. There is no problem with your father. He is only unconscious and will wake up later," Aldrian said.

Klein felt truly relieved upon hearing that, but he continued to watch over his father. His father looked thinner compared to the last time he had seen him, but he was still breathing. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Klein felt as the weight in his heart finally disappeared at this moment. His eyes watered, but he quickly wiped them with the back of his hand before looking toward Aldrian.

He finally turned his attention to the newcomer beside Aldrian. Who was that person? He could not help but feel a kind of pressure even though that man was only standing there. From his features, it was obvious that he was a dragon in human form.

Sylphia and the others also felt that this dragon was not ordinary. The way he simply stood there gave off a strange sense of pressure that even affected their souls.

It was as if they were compelled to worship his very existence.

The sensation was quite vivid, which left them surprised, as they had never felt such a feeling even when they were near Dragon King.

Before they could ask Aldrian anything, Ao Tianhai suddenly bowed toward them.

"I greet your majesties. I am truly blessed to be able to stand before your presence." His voice was filled with reverence, and his movements carried no hesitation at all.

The three women were astonished, while Aldrian facepalmed.

’This guy...’

It seemed Ao Tianhai had simply doing what he thought was right the moment he saw Sylphia, Baek Jimin, and Angelica. However, with such an act, his women would inevitably have many questions in their minds, questions that they would obviously ask later.

They knew that he had just returned from the deeper region of the Divine Wrath Sea, so for him to suddenly bring back a new person, and for that person to pay his respects to their status as empresses, was strange.

With their curiosity, they would undoubtedly seek answers from him, and from Ao Tianhai directly as well.

’It seems I will have to explain a few things to Tianhai later,’ Aldrian thought.

There was also someone here who did not know their identities. And as expected, when Aldrian looked at Klein, he saw that Klein was surprised by Ao Tianhai’s actions. The way Ao Tianhai addressed Sylphia and the others left him confused, and he did not know what to think about them.

Klein then looked at Aldrian with an expression that showed he had many questions.

However, for now, they needed to get out of this place first. They could talk later under much better place.

"I know that all of you have many questions, but we need to leave this place first," Aldrian said. The others agreed, and Aldrian finally moved the cruiser in the direction they had come from.

The cruiser flew forward at high speed, passing through dangerous natural phenomena. While doing so, Sylphia and the others gathered around Aldrian, occasionally glancing at Ao Tianhai.

He kept some distance from them and looked around as he observed the surrounding chaotic scenery.

"Dear, who is that person? How did you come back with him?" Sylphia asked in a hushed voice.

"I don’t know his identity. When I found him, he was trapped inside the core area of the Divine Wrath Sea. I don’t know the circumstances of how he ended up trapped there, but he felt grateful to me for freeing him. To repay me, he wishes to follow me for now and has offered his strength to me," Aldrian replied.

The others raised their eyebrows and looked at Ao Tianhai again.

They then continued to "interrogate" Aldrian about his journey. Whenever they asked something about Ao Tianhai, he answered with explanations he instantly created in his mind.

He also tried to redirect the conversation to focus more on his journey or on Klein’s father instead, and thankfully, that worked.

They were drawn into his story as he told them about what he experienced in the deeper areas of the Divine Wrath Sea.

As he continued telling his story, hours passed, and they nearly reached the edge of the stormy region.

They were finally about to leave the vast formation that protected the Divine Wrath Sea.
