Free Web NovelChapter 468: Chapter 81: Bloodline Transformation, the Giant Serpent God Prepares to Hibernate
"From the Deities down to any child of sufficient intelligence—everyone can be mobilized at a moment’s notice to serve as a cog in the Empire’s war machine, if necessary." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
’Intelligent Mechanisms have replaced nearly every manual industry?’
’An entire nation of soldiers?’
To Trish, such a thing was simply inconceivable.
But thinking of those Iron Giant Ships in the sky, Trish tried to stretch her imagination as far as it would go, even if she couldn’t fully grasp it.
Limited by the knowledge of her era, Trish still struggled to picture it.
But no matter how she looked at it,
the Star Empire was clearly far more powerful than she could possibly imagine.
However, Trish also noticed an important point.
And so, like a Blood God thirsty for knowledge, she immediately spoke to Yue Xin again:
"Such a thing is truly hard to imagine." freёwebnovel.com
"However, Your Excellency Bertrand, you just said that even Deities must fight according to the Empire’s orders, correct?"
"So, forgive my impertinence."
"Does that mean the Star Empire isn’t ruled by the Deities?"
I have to admit, Trish always managed to get to the heart of the matter.
Yue Xin was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.
"That’s quite a question you’ve asked, Her Royal Highness Princess."
"But if I think carefully about the relationship between the Empire and the Deities... well, how should I put it?"
"At least, in our Star Empire, the relationship between the mortal government and the Deities is not a strict hierarchy."
"I can’t go into too much detail."
"However, Her Royal Highness Princess, you might understand if you try to imagine the relationship between a court council and the Royal Family."
"In our Star Empire, the Empire governs mortals, while the Deities are governed by the Pantheon."
"So, strictly speaking, the relationship between the Star Empire and the Pantheon is similar to that between a council and the Royal Family in this world."
"There are differences, of course, but not that many."
"In fact, strictly speaking, the Star Empire that governs mortals is actually in the role of the Royal Family, while the Pantheon could only be considered the council."
"But there are times when the hierarchy between these two entities in the Star Empire can be reversed at any moment."
At this, Yue Xin revealed the true core of the Star Empire.
"Because both the Pantheon and the Star Empire must, in name, obey the commands of the Cloud Court Dragon Clan!"
"Although the Cloud Court Dragon Clan rarely participates in the operations of these two organizations, if the Dragon God issues an Oracle, both the Pantheon and the Star Empire must obey the Dragon God’s arrangements."
As Trish stared back with a bewildered expression, Yue Xin smiled.
"Because the Pantheon and the Star Empire both exist only because of the presence of His Majesty, the great Dragon God."
"So, you can just think of them, and all of us, as beings under the Dragon God’s protection."
’Dragon God?’
This was the first time Trish had ever heard a Divine Favored mention this entity.
After hearing all this, Trish was finally beginning to understand a few things.
Her eyes suddenly lit up as she spoke:
"So, Your Excellency Bertrand, this Dragon God you mention is the most powerful Deity of your civilization, correct?"
"And furthermore, are you Divine Favored all beings directly blessed by this Dragon God?"
Trish asked two questions at once.
But undoubtedly, Bertrand’s response was a tacit agreement.
Although, strictly speaking, the Players of the True Game were not beings protected by the Dragon God.
However, given how the True Game operated, they were, in essence, ruled by the Dragon God’s Chief.
Therefore, it wasn’t a stretch to call them Divine Favored who were directly under the Dragon God’s protection.
"Alright, Her Royal Highness Princess."
"You don’t really need to know too much about these things at the moment."
"Knowing too much would only seem abstract and distant to you right now. The same is true even for me."
"In short, as I see it, Power is the root of everything, no matter what world you’re in."
"Without Power, no one will care about a single word you say."
"So, I came today simply to ask one question: does Her Royal Highness Princess wish to continue living peacefully in this world as Princess Andrews of a Star Empire vassal state, or do you want to follow me to a grander stage, to a life on the Star Empire’s Emperor Star?"
Yue Xin had stated his purpose.
And Princess Trish knew it well.
They had already been in contact many times before the war with the Black Prison Race.
In fact, it was thanks to Yue Xin’s guidance that Princess Trish was able to advance so quickly on the Path to the Extraordinary and reach her current level of Tier Two Power.
Trish did not possess any Extraordinary Talent.
Strictly speaking, if she hadn’t been the Princess of this nation, she never would have received the powerful backing—the kind an ordinary person couldn’t even dream of—that allowed her to force her way onto the Path to the Extraordinary.
But even though this Princess had forced her way onto the Path to the Extraordinary, her Power would peak at Tier Three.
She had absolutely no chance of succeeding in the Middle Tier Bloodline infusion ritual.
Therefore, if Trish wanted to walk further down the Path to the Extraordinary, then Yue Xin was her only chance!
After all, Yue Xin now possessed a diluted Blood God Bloodline.
As a Reserve Ancient Deity with Power comparable to the Demigod Peak, Yue Xin naturally possessed the ability to transform a member of the Human Race into one of the Blood Race.
At his current level, this transformation was limited to turning a normal human into a member of the Blood Race with Potential comparable to a High Tier Bloodline.
But for this Princess, that was more than enough!
As for the Princess, Yue Xin had no ulterior motives.
