Chapter 1320: Chapter 1067: The World of the Experts
The surrounding warriors were all deeply moved, for those words seemed to threaten the Heavenly Kingdom of the Giants! Had Elsa gone mad? The Heavenly Kingdom descending from the Giants was the greatest of their legacies, and obtaining even the slightest treasure from within would bring boundless benefits.
Of course, Elsa’s words could not elicit any reaction from the descending Heavenly Kingdom.
However, Elsa was not satisfied. In fact, she felt that something was amiss. In any case, if this place truly was the descending Heavenly Kingdom, then it absolutely should not be rejecting her!
"Interesting," she muttered, with a faint smile, and then she left. Little Ai, looking utterly perplexed, hurried to follow with the broken sword in her arms.
The warriors from both sides, who had been prepared for battle, found themselves with no opportunity to fight, but no one would blame Elsa. To them, not having to fight meant not having to face death, and everyone would rather the descending Heavenly Kingdom never appear again.
The armies from both sides retreated to their respective cities, and a quiet life ensued. However, this change left the commanders of both sides quite puzzled. Could this be some kind of omen? Would the descending Heavenly Kingdom never appear again?
Or was it for some other reason?
That very day, as Elsa sat in her room pondering over the matter, she questioned Little Ai carefully. Indeed, ever since the Heavenly Kingdom was first discovered, it had always opened punctually, without any errors. If there was any difference this time, it was Elsa’s own presence.
Either the Heavenly Kingdom hadn’t opened because no battle had taken place, or it hadn’t opened because it didn’t want to let Elsa in. In any case, the matter was definitely related to Elsa.
That was Elsa’s own conclusion.
As Elsa was deep in thought, suddenly there came a knock at the door from Little Ai, "Your Highness, Princess, a few little girls are here to see you—they say they’re your friends."
Little girls? Friends?
Elsa was puzzled, but she soon realized who they were. Tilian had once mentioned that the core tribe was also here, disguised as the Steel Roses Mercenary Group active on the battlefield, and had also acquired some knowledge from the Heavenly Kingdom. Elsa had seen them herself in the midst of the recent battle, and clearly, they had also seen her, so they had made a special trip to find her.
"Let them in, and from now on, no one is allowed near my room," Elsa instructed.
The door opened, and five girls from the Dark Clan walked in, led by the Dark Saintess. Little Ai closed the door from the outside and then looked around, chuckling to himself, There’s no need for her to instruct that; no one would dare approach her room.
"It’s been a long time, Princess Elsa," said the Dark Saintess with a smile.
"Hmm, it really has been a long time," Elsa felt she hadn’t really seen the Dark Saintess much.
"Today’s events were quite unexpected," said the Dark Saintess.
"Actually, even if you didn’t come, I was planning to ask you about this descending Heavenly Kingdom," Elsa said.
"I knew you would need that, but with your appearance, it’s not easy to act, so we decided to visit you instead," the Dark Saintess said.
"So, let’s get straight to the point. What exactly is going on with this descending Heavenly Kingdom?" Elsa asked.
"We are not quite clear about why this happened either. Ever since we arrived here, the Heavenly Kingdom has always been very regular. I believe you must have heard from Lord Tilian that the essence of the Heavenly Kingdom should be the Giants’ External Storage Device, right? There isn’t knowledge that greatly surpasses our times here, but rather some knowledge that the Giants had already researched, stored in this place," the Dark Saintess said.
"Does the so-called opening of the Heavenly Kingdom always involve a Teleportation Gate?" Elsa asked.
"Yes, always. We enter into an illusion. Since our core tribe is not proficient in any psychic-type Magic, we can see through the illusion. It’s a small space, storing countless pieces of knowledge," the Dark Saintess explained.
"So, that place, is actually a real place, right?" Elsa said.
"I know what you’re thinking; we also tried to track the spatial positioning after each opening, but we ultimately failed," the Dark Saintess said.
"If there’s anyone in this world who is particularly good at space magic, our Celestial Clan people are definitely at the top of the list," Elsa stated.
"With that in mind, we suggest you start your investigation from this position because that time when we tracked the spatial position, this was the closest we got," the Dark Saintess spread her hand open, revealing the shape of a planet in her palm—that was this place. This planet was not small, but the area where people actually lived and moved was only so large. Once one left the range of the cities and battlefield, they would immediately lose the protection of air and gravity, which was very dangerous. Back then, the core tribe managed to track it there with the power of Golems, but after that, there was no further news.
"I understand. So, is there anything else you want to notify me about?" Elsa continued.
"In fact, there is." the Dark Clan Saintess said, "If at first it was just our own suspicion, then the sudden closure of the Heavenly Gates this time has thoroughly aroused our doubts. We’ve always been very curious why an External Storage Device left by the Giants, instead of simply hiding away and protecting the knowledge of the Giants, constantly lures people to battle through this knowledge. Such behavior is unlike the Giants, even the most cunning of them, such as Long Yi, would definitely not do this. So we suspect that the Heavenly Kingdom that has descended may be a fake."
These words from the Dark Clan Saintess made Elsa laugh. As for the descended Heavenly Kingdom, Elsa knew not much about it. But the majority of what she knew was that the Giants had turned from innocent ordinary lifeforms into a super race capable of crossing between planes precisely because of the help from the descended Heavenly Kingdom.
If the descended Heavenly Kingdom was truly that powerful, what exactly were these people fighting so desperately for now?
"It seems, I really did come at the right time." Elsa said with a smile.
After the Dark Clan Saintess left, not long after, Elsa also stepped out of the room, with Little Ai hurrying to follow her.
"You stay here, the place I’m going to, you can’t follow." Elsa told Little Ai.
"No matter how dangerous the place you’re going to, I’m not afraid! I vow to follow in your footsteps to the death!" Little Ai spoke very bravely.
"I’m leaving the protection circle to go outside." Elsa said.
Upon hearing this, Little Ai immediately lost his nerve.
Are you kidding, leave the protection circle? No air, no gravity, and most importantly, there are all kinds of energy turbulence outside! If you’re not careful, your shield won’t last you ten steps!
So Little Ai decisively chickened out, obediently staying put to watch the house, while Elsa walked alone towards the edge of the city.
There was only a low wall on the edge of this city, which wasn’t meant to stop people from entering or leaving, but to remind everyone that once you leave this place, no one can be responsible for your life or death.
Elsa came here alone, and a number of people followed her secretly. Their purpose was very clear—they wanted to find out why such a powerful Princess of the Celestial Clan had come here and most importantly, whether the closure of the Heavenly Gates had anything to do with her.
However, the moment Elsa stepped out of the protection circle, they knew that tracking her this time was meaningless.
"Hey, who among you can go out?"
One person asked another, because there were simply too many people secretly following Elsa, so they all ended up forming groups.
"I can stay outside for a long time, but if I encounter energy turbulence, I’m done for." one person said.
"I’m not afraid of energy turbulence, but I can’t stay in the vacuum." another person said.
"Why don’t you two team up and go out?" someone suggested.
"There’s not even cover outside, are we going out to seek death?" both of them replied simultaneously. Moreover, even if Elsa didn’t care about them, no matter how strong they thought they were, leaving the protection circle was simply a death wish.
Just at that moment, a wave of energy turbulence struck, heading straight for Elsa. At that point, everyone widened their eyes, eager to see how Elsa would handle it. They saw Elsa suddenly unfurl a Light Wing, sweeping it horizontally, and the wave of energy turbulence exploded in mid-air!
Immediately, everyone behind her was scared silly!
For all these years, everyone could only passively defend against energy turbulence, but she actually shattered it!
Then, Elsa’s entire body flickered with a battle shimmer, and suddenly she vanished into thin air.
The group behind her was stunned for a moment, then they laughed helplessly, "Let’s go, this level is totally out of our league. It’s better to honestly hide here. This is the world of the powerful, not our world!"
Some people were unconvinced, but the reality before their eyes left them no choice but to accept it. Some dared to rush out, but they all came back quickly. Just as the previous people had said, this is a world for the powerful.
At this moment, Elsa, in a semi-energy state, was advancing at high speed in the vacuum and microgravity environment. Long Yi once said that the gravity of a planet is determined by the mass of the planet itself. But that knowledge from Long Yi was also the knowledge of the Giants. Such a vast planet, yet with such slight gravity, was not making sense.
Unless someone had altered the gravity here, or perhaps, the mass of this planet wasn’t as great as its volume appeared to be!
Elsa arrived at the location given to her by the Dark Clan Saintess earlier, and indeed, there were faint energy fluctuations in the air here, the result of spatial magic. The Dark Clan Saintess had once told her that the Teleportation Gate leading to the Heavenly Kingdom was not a direct one, but involved several transfers before finally entering the Heavenly Kingdom. And this was the last position left by the Dark Clan women when they tracked through space. According to the description by the Dark Clan Saintess, once you entered this position, all spatial information instantly disappeared, making it impossible to continue tracking. (To be continued.
