Chapter 273 Fear
If the woman was from the Seven Realms, people could at least still think that they would be fine, they would at most only feel extremely threatened, but they should be safe as long as they did not provoke her.
However, if she was the Ancient Night King, the matter was really serious as the enmity between the two had practically reached the point where they wanted to annihilate each other.
The atmosphere instantly became tense because in the next second they might not all be alive anymore.
"Who can stop her?" People wondered.
"Does the Heaven Race have an ace up its sleeve against her?"
"Hmph, I don't think there's a chance even for them. Heaven Ancestor is powerful, but he can only deal with Old Geezer at most."
The discussion among the experts in the Seven Realms became extremely heated. This was not because they were too excited, but because they were too panicked. Some were not afraid of death, but they could not accept the fact that their world would be destroyed.
While they were still discussing, the Ancient Night King finally stared at the Seven Realms.
It was just an ordinary gaze with no ill intentions, but due to prejudice, people began to stagger.
"There's no need to be afraid, I won't hurt you," she said, finally saying something to the Seven Realms. "Here, I would like to apologize for all this time my race has been fighting you, and even eating your bodies. It was something unavoidable because we were tainted by the power of evil. Now that's gone, so we won't do those evil things anymore. As an apology, I will give you all the compensation you deserve. I hope that after this, the Ancient Night Race and the Seven Realms can live peacefully side by side."
She said it all in a calm and gentle voice that was enough to make chaotic hearts calm down.
Instantly, everyone in the Seven Realms opened their mouths with frozen expressions, as if unable to believe what they had heard.
Ciel who saw the woman only smiled, not as surprised as everyone and Mu Yixue who was standing beside him.
He felt like sighing because the scenario in his life was completely unexpected.
Ever since he heard about the Ancient Night Race and their leader, the Ancient Night King, he kept thinking that they would be his great enemy while the Ancient Night King was the final boss he needed to defeat.
Such a scenario was not rare, almost all the stories he read had such a scenario when there was an evil race that became an enemy to a world.
However, as it turned out, the person he thought was the final boss turned out to be his mother who was fighting for something, saving the fate of her race.
She was far from evil, and could even be said to be a very kind woman as she would compensate the Seven Realms for her race's crimes.
A figure like her was very hard to find, but what was even more amazing was that she could become the strongest in her world and then reach unimaginable realms.
Ciel actually wanted to know what that woman's life story was like. It was certainly much more interesting than his own story.
While everyone was still astonished, the Ancient Night King continued her words, "there is actually something I want to reveal. The Ice Prince, Ciel, who I'm sure most of you know is my son. He grew up in the Seven Realms, I hope you don't alienate him after knowing this."
When she spoke of this, there really wasn't an impression as if she was displaying an authority like when a powerful cultivator talks to weak people. She was more like a weak mother pleading for people to treat her son well.
Given her strength, her words could practically not be refuted by anyone, but because of the way she spoke, people felt no pressure at all.
Astonishment turned into amazement. The Ancient Night King was often portrayed as a terrifying evil woman. However, in reality, she was really too kind. If she were to become a Queen, she would practically be well-loved.
This made people finally understand why the Ancient Night Race had respected their King so much all this time. And it was a genuine respect, not out of awe or fear of her strength.
After the Ancient Night King finished speaking, she suddenly waved her hand at the Seven Realms.
Pure and boundless energy radiated from her hand, filling the Seven Realms.
This shocked people as suddenly the density of spiritual energy in the Seven Realms increased drastically, becoming even more pure. Even the most energy-poor place became similar to the Holy Continent in the Heaven Realm.
Among the Hegemons, quite a few broke through suddenly, even the First and Second Stage Demigods experienced breakthroughs. Those who did not break through found that their cultivation foundations became much better.
It's just that, after doing so, the Ancient Night King's complexion suddenly became paler, like she consumed too much spiritual energy.
If she spent all her energy, she might be able to destroy a hundred worlds similar to the Seven Realms. However, what she had just done was bless the Seven Realms.
At first glance, she did only seem to release a little power, but it was not power to destroy or protect, but power to increase the power of the world.
"This is my first compensation," said the Ancient Night King. Her figure disappeared after she said that, including the members of the Ancient Night Race.
Perhaps she didn't really disappear. However, because she stopped emitting her aura, so her existence could no longer be seen because the distance was too great.
At this moment, Mu Yixue looked at Ciel with a strange look.
"You don't seem surprised at all, did you already know about this?" she asked him.
"I also found out yesterday, she had met me while I was on my way back," Ciel replied calmly.
Afterwards, he gave Mu Yixue a faint smile.
"How do you feel about having a husband who is the son of the Ancient Night King? Are you uncomfortable or happy?" he asked the woman.
"I guess I'm just surprised," Mu Yixue replied.
"There's no change in your feelings, is there?"
"What could change? Hmph, so are you now the Ice Prince or the Ancient Night Prince?"
"That's not something important, I can be the Ice Prince or the Ancient Night Prince. Either way, I'm Ciel."
"Well, and I only love a man named Ciel, an asshole who came into my life and then gave me a threat. I think your mother would be ashamed if she knew your behavior all this time."
