Chapter 1017: Chapter 772 Rumor_2
Solis was berated mercilessly by his own reflection in the mirror. Although his face showed defiance, his mouth dared not utter a word.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll go and win over Long Yi to see exactly how he did it," Solis said.
"How you do it is your business, but you’d better be quick. I don’t have much time. The exposure in the demon realm has left those two life-hounding queens searching for me everywhere. If they discover I’m here, it won’t just be your little mage tower at stake—this entire plane will perish with it!"
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Realm.
The pervading Power of Light made Tilian feel quite uncomfortable. Although his robe shielded him from most of the Power of Light, he still felt unbearably hot and restless here.
Tilian was in this place to seek Elsa’s help in an attempt to travel to the Giant’s star and ultimately enter the descended Heavenly Kingdom. Although he had anticipated that the Power of Light here would affect him, the severity of its impact was indeed a surprise.
After struggling to walk a few more steps, he gasped for breath and found a shadow within a building to rest. Unfortunately, even in the shadows, the Power of Light was omnipresent. Clearly, it wasn’t just because of the sunlight overhead; the entire Heaven Realm was filled with this power.
Tilian couldn’t help but laugh at himself in self-derision. He really had done too many bad things; this was surely punishment. He had thought he would find Elsa upon arriving here, but with the Heavenly Kingdom being so vast, where should he start looking?
After resting for a while and feeling a bit better, he turned to leave only to overhear a conversation among a few people passing by. One of them said, "I heard someone say that Princess Elsa is studying those Ghost Spirits in the old Imperial City, really to vie for the throne?"
Another person hurriedly added, "I heard that too, but what I heard was that she plans to launch a war with the Ghost Spirits right after First Prince Sajia becomes Emperor."
Yet, a third person disbelieved, shaking their head, "If Princess Elsa wanted to be Emperor, she would have probably extinguished Prince Sajia with military force by now. Does she really need to deploy Ghost Spirits?"
"This matter seems fishy. Otherwise, why would she refuse to annihilate the Ghost Spirits and instead want to study them? I heard that Princess Elsa has now absorbed a lot of energy from the Ghost Spirits, and her whole way of thinking has become like that of the Ghost Spirits!"
"That’s absolutely nonsense! Who did you hear that from?"
"A buddy said it while we were drinking yesterday."
"And you believe the words of a bunch of drunks!"
"Isn’t it better to err on the side of belief in such matters?"
"Hey, while Elsa fights hard, you bunch of drunks just spout nonsense behind her back!"
"Oh? Annoyed, are we? Could it be that you fancy Princess Elsa?"
"Nonsense, who doesn’t like her!"
"Hahaha, you like her, but do you dare to say it?"
A group of people left laughing and chatting, but Tilian heard it all. They were only spreading hearsay, so they didn’t bother to lower their voices. Tilian knew about the affairs of the Heaven Realm, but such baseless rumors were definitely the most hurtful. At least Tilian felt very annoyed hearing them.
Tilian still remembered the day he pretended to be exiled to the Black Dragon Empire, when Elsa unleashed terrifying power, slaying nine Black Dragons by herself before returning directly through the gate to the Heavenly Kingdom. So the battles that followed had, in fact, nothing to do with Elsa. At least he and Long Yi were on the same side, if opposites in stance, and he, who should have died, was also saved by the light of Long Yi and brought back to Hell by the Eternal Emperor Rongka. Since Elsa was Long Yi’s woman, he naturally could not sit idly by.
Throughout his journey, Tilian paid close attention to the conversations of those around him, especially as he often passed through more representative marketplaces.
And on his way, he really heard a lot of talk about Elsa.
Rumors are quelled by the wise, but the problem is that most people are not wise. The more people pass it on, the more will believe it. How could he tell Elsa about this?
Wait a second—if this was already causing such a stir, wouldn’t Elsa already know?
Just as he turned a corner, Tilian bumped into someone. Already dizzy from the Power of Light, Tilian lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The other person quickly apologized and helped Tilian get up.
"Oh dear, I’m so sorry, I didn’t notice you. Look at you, so silent that I..." When he got to this point, the person froze and then exclaimed Tilian’s name: "Prince Tilian?"
Only then did Tilian come to his senses and took a closer look. The man was a Celestial Clan warrior, but dressed in simple attire, and Tilian recognized him.
"Nim?" Tilian recognized the Celestial Clan warrior who accompanied Long Yi.
"Haha! Indeed, it’s you, Prince Tilian. What brings you here? Never mind, let’s go! Princess Elsa will be delighted to see you. I’ve told her all about what happened in the Human Realm, and Princess Elsa also thinks Prince Tilian is a very remarkable person!"
Nim hurried Tilian away from there.
