Chapter 1536: Chapter 1184: Serious and Responsible_2
"Mhm, I do believe that. But it’s not a big deal, I know where she is," Long Yi chuckled still.
Realizing that Long Yi was not angry, Nim breathed a sigh of relief and then curiously asked, "Brother Long, have you just arrived at the Upper Plane?"
"No," Long Yi shook his head, "I’ve been in the Upper Plane for a while now. This time I came to find Selena; I need her help with something urgent."
"What help?"
"Very urgent help." Long Yi didn’t elaborate, but the words "very urgent" essentially highlighted the importance of the matter. After all, the term "very urgent" rarely appeared in Long Yi’s vocabulary.
"I understand. I’ll clear the way ahead, and Princess Selena is right behind, she should arrive soon... uh, she’s already here!"
From afar, an Imperial shuttleship descended slowly, entering the airspace around the Imperial Palace which forbade all unauthorized non-emergency flights. Members of the Imperial family had to set an example, so even Imperial shuttleships would land on the outskirts, then everyone would walk to the Imperial Palace.
From a distance, Selena spotted Nim standing here, talking to a tall man. As she approached, she realized that the man was Long Yi.
"Long Yi? You’ve come to the Upper Plane?" Selena exclaimed in surprise. She had a lot she wanted to ask this man, who resembled a Giant and was her longtime friend Elsa’s boyfriend.
"Yes, I have already met Elsa. I’m aware of what’s been happening here, but I’m short on time right now and can’t chat for long; I need your help," Long Yi said in the simplest and most straightforward manner.
Selena paused for a moment and then laughed, "Now I know whose influence Elsa’s character is under."
"Yes, that’s the only thing I feel very sorry about," Long Yi said.
The guard soldier was completely dumbfounded because he had witnessed this ordinary man not paying any respects to Princess Selena. Not only did he not greet her formally, he even called Princess Selena and Princess Elsa by their names directly! Moreover, it seemed like they had an extremely close relationship!
It turned out they really knew each other so well!
How could things turn out like this!
At that moment, the guard soldier was feeling apprehensive, confident that he had not done anything wrong, but if Long Yi said something unpleasant in front of Princess Selena, he might not be punished, yet his future prospects would inevitably be worrisome.
"Ah, right..." As he walked over to the soldier, Long Yi suddenly stopped and looked at him. Selena also paused, waiting for what Long Yi would say next, while the soldier felt like he dared not even breathe too loudly.
"This soldier performs his duties very conscientiously and responsibly. I think he is a very promising young man," Long Yi commended and then continued on his way.
"Is that so? Good, I got it!" Selena smiled and nodded to the solider, then followed Long Yi.
Nim, bringing up the rear, patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "You’re lucky, kid. Our boss is in a good mood."
The soldier nodded blankly, gazing after the departing figures in the distance. He suddenly noticed that Long Yi was walking ahead while Selena followed behind him.
Who on earth was this man called Long Yi?
Not until the group had left did the other guards suddenly come forward.
"Brother, should I say you’re lucky?" a warrior said.
"I always feel like I’ve used up all the luck of my life." The warrior finally let out a sigh of relief and said.
On the way, Long Yi briefly recounted the events that had taken place among The Forgotten Ones and then he told Selena, "I need to go to the Lower Plane, right away."
"Follow me." Selena, of course, knew the extent of the threat posed by the Worm, so without any hesitation, she took Long Yi directly through the Array into the Imperial Palace, and then to the Teleportation Array beneath it. This was a Plane Teleportation Array that could only be activated by members of the royal family. It used to be under Selena’s management, but during the period of turmoil, the Emperor took control. However, once everything settled down, the Emperor handed back control to Selena.
Selena led Long Yi downstairs where a permanent team was stationed on guard duty. Among them was the captain who had once been knocked out by Elsa. He often reminded his soldiers to recognize the situation at all times. Some could be offended, while others absolutely could not. For instance, he had assisted Elsa at a critical moment, not only earning a precious casino token but also gaining Selena’s trust. Although it did not make a significant difference to his career prospects in the short term, it would ensure that the two Princesses remembered that they owed this warrior a favor. And once the opportunity arose in the future, this favor might just become a clear path for his career.
"Your Highness, Princess!" The captain saw Selena appear and instantly saluted with his troops in tow.
"Hello, Captain. Please help us prepare; we need to make a teleportation to the Lower Plane immediately," Selena said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The captain didn’t ask why, nor was it his place to question. Since the issues between the Emperor and Elsa had been resolved, all of Heaven Realm already knew that the future Empress would be chosen between Elsa and Selena. And since Elsa had explicitly shown no interest, the future Emperor could only be Selena. What the future Empress wanted to do with this Teleportation Gate was her prerogative.
The Teleportation Gate to the Lower Plane required some time to charge up, and while waiting, Selena briefed Long Yi on some precautions.
"First, after you go through the Plane Teleportation from here to the Lower Plane, a Plane Mark will be left on you. When you plan to return, you can activate the Plane Mark to help us locate you, so you can be pulled back to the Upper Plane from wherever you are."
"Secondly, unlike when you move from the Lower Plane to the Upper Plane, going from the Upper Plane to the Lower Plane, if your strength is very weak, it’s not too bad, but if you are powerful, your strength will continuously diminish over time. Until it aligns with the energy level of the Lower Plane, so be very careful."
"Lastly, please do not use any magic while undergoing Plane Teleportation, as this could significantly disrupt the success rate of the teleportation. Although the failure rate is very low, at only three percent, none of us want to encounter this small probability, right?"
Before long, the Plane Teleportation Gate was fully charged. Long Yi set the destination within The Divine Auffa Empire, where an existing Teleportation Gate would serve as a precise receiving point.
Having set the coordinates, Long Yi immediately stepped into the Teleportation Gate.
"From now on, take turns on duty, and the moment any teleportation request comes through, bring him right back," Selena ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
This was a direct order from the Princess, and even though the captain didn’t know who this person was, the person’s importance was unquestionable.
"You all heard the Princess’s order, now I command you to split into four groups, changing shift every six hours!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Since Long Yi had left the Lower Plane, years had passed and the Teleportation Gate beneath the Imperial City of The Divine Auffa Empire had already become a place of legend. The Giant Pioneer Long Yi and his companions had once spent a long time here researching the magic needed for Plane Teleportation, and the places where Long Yi had stayed had become popular tourist destinations. The Stellar Realm Arena had even established a permanent championship title in Long Yi’s honor and would hold an annual Long Yi Cup King of the Stellar Realm contest, not only with gladiators from the Stellar Realm Arena but also those from all over the Plane vying for this honor.
The effects of Long Yi’s appearance were profound throughout the entire Lower Plane; he had ended the control of ancient Powerhouses over the entire Lower Plane and also allowed the Ancient Mage Tower to truly disappear from people’s sight.
"So they say, a Giant is indeed a Giant," the young man in front of Long Yi remarked with a sense of awe. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
