"That's wonderful! That's wonderful!" Hailong could no longer contain his joy, his voice filled with excitement as his previously tense nerves completely relaxed. " Aurelia has given up the competition, and Chen Lang has left as well. Now Your Highness has no more worries!"
Norman nodded repeatedly, a relieved smile on his face, "Yes, no one expected things to go so smoothly. We were worried that Chief Chen Lang would give Aurelia's full support, but now it seems we were overthinking it. With this, Her Highness's position as Goddess is secure!"
Tata stood to the side, her face also beaming, and said to Ye Xin Xia in a lighthearted tone, "Your Highness, you see, everything is moving in a positive direction. Now you don't have to worry anymore!"
Ye Xin Xia sat to the side, a faint smile on her face, her expression still gentle and calm, without excessive joy, but unable to hide the relief in her eyes.
She nodded slightly and said softly, "Yes, thanks to Aurelia's intervention, a conflict with little chance of victory has been averted."
She knew in her heart that Aurelia's decision to give up had nothing to do with winning or losing, or strength or weakness, but simply because Chen Lang's arrival had led her to find something more important than the position of Goddess.
For her, avoiding unnecessary conflict and ensuring Parthenon's safety was more important than anything else.
"Your Highness, we will contact the Five Continents Magic Association now to inform them that Miss Aurelia's withdrawal from the competition, and strive for their full support to ensure the selection of the Goddess is foolproof!" Norman said in a deep voice.
Hailong immediately chimed in, "That's right! We also need to win over Aurelia's followers and make all the necessary preparations for the Goddess selection. We can't afford any mistakes; we must ensure that Her Highness successfully ascends to the position of Goddess!"
The room was still filled with laughter and joy, and everyone's face was beaming with happiness.
With the biggest hidden danger weighing on her mind gone, Ye Xin Xia's path to becoming Goddess was now smooth, and Parthenon's future seemed bright as well...
At this moment, Chen Lang had already quietly left Athens City with Aurelia.
Having resolved the issue of Zu Hengyao's appointment in Africa and dealt with Apas's two older sisters, Parthenon Aurelia are no longer competing for anything...
His plan was to stay out of any power struggles and schemes for the foreseeable future, and to simply spend time quietly with Aurelia and Mu Ningxue, traveling and enjoying the sights of the Shenzhou Continent.
His Antarctic trip, which he had arranged with Shaja, was still more than two months away.
This gap is perfect for completely emptying your mind.
Looking back on his journey, from the moment he left the Chen Clan, he had never truly stopped.
They're either training like crazy or rushing to the battlefield...
Especially when uncovering family secrets and confronting the Holy City, that invisible yet heavy mountain looming over them.
He had almost no chance to catch his breath, let alone the right to retreat.
He carried the weight of his people's grievances on his shoulders, and also the weight of the progress of human mages. In fact, Chen Lang himself did not pay much attention to the matter of Fusion Magic.
He was actually just using this as a starting point...
Fortunately, everything went smoothly!
They fought their way through thorns and brambles, ruthlessly and decisively, making even a moment of peace a luxury.
Now, the Holy City has been swept aside, and the Sea Monster have been repelled. Apart from the continued drop in global temperatures and the faint restlessness of the Emperor of the South Pole, everything in the world has temporarily returned to calm.
My nerves, which have been tense for so long, can finally relax.
For him, nothing is more important at this moment than being with those around him and enjoying a moment of peace.
Temporarily setting aside his status as the strongest human, he will simply be an ordinary companion.
Sunlight bathed the two of them; the wind was gentle and the clouds were light, and the road ahead seemed vast.
This time, he will no longer fight for revenge, nor will he rush about for responsibility. He will only care about those around him, and only about himself, to truly enjoy life...
With the Black Dragon Emperor's incredible speed, he traversed the Mediterranean Sea and Eurasia, returning to Great Xia Fei Niao City in less than half a day.
High in the sky, no realm can contain the wings of Emperor-level Demon Beast.
The clouds churned, the wind howled, and the massive body of the black dragon ripped through the sky. Wherever it passed, all the demons lay in wait. Even the winged Demon Clan high in the sky could sense the earth-shattering Emperor pressure from afar. They trembled with fear and dared not approach it even a fraction of an inch, let alone block its path.
In this world, the so-called restricted airspace and forbidden areas for Demon Beast are, in the end, nothing more than self-imposed constraints by those who lack strength.
When you stand at the pinnacle of power, when you possess the confidence to sweep away all obstacles, who in this world, and what, dares to point fingers at you or forcibly obstruct you?
Upon arriving at the outskirts of Feiniao Base City, Chen Lang had a thought and immediately recalled the Black Dragon Emperor into his Summoning Vessel.
In Athens, in a foreign land, whether others were panicked or not was none of his concern.
But this is Fei Niao City, this is Great Xia, his true homeland and home.
He naturally had to tone down his brilliance and be more considerate.
In this world, ordinary people still make up the vast majority.
Even though the Great Xia Dynasty is now stronger than ever before, and the birth rate of mages has increased several times over compared to the past, the number of mages in the entire human race is still negligible.
He did not want the oppressive power of Emperor and Demon Beast to disturb the peace of this city, nor did he want his return to disrupt the tranquil life here.
This is his tenderness towards his hometown.
Chen Lang, holding Aurelia's hand, slowly landed on the border of Fei Niao City. Gazing at this familiar and warm city, his long-tense emotions finally relaxed completely...
"Aren't you going to take me to the Chen family first?" Aurelia, a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice, knowing they were currently in the Feiniao Base City.
She's not someone who can't be brought to light.
"I was thinking that I'd have to bring Ning Xue along later, so I brought you to see her first," Chen Lang explained.
He just didn't want to waste his trip on something like that.
However, he overlooked one point.
Aurelia's identity is different from Mu Ningxue's.
If Chen Lang were merely a direct descendant of the Chen Clan, then he would be considered to be climbing the social ladder.
Now, instead of bringing her along to find Mu Ningxue and go to the Chen family in the capital, she has this feeling that bringing her along means she can't meet her elders?
"It was my oversight..."
Aurelia didn't let Chen Lang explain, and smiled charmingly, "It's enough that you explained it to me. This Saintess isn't someone who cares about these things."
Chen Lang: A woman's face changes faster than a dog's!
After mentally complaining, Chen Lang led her to the castle.
Everyone under Mu Ningxue's command was busy with their own tasks.
After the Sea Monster retreated, there was actually a lot to do. Putting aside everything else, some resource areas in the sea alone needed to be redistributed.
Although Feiniao Base City belongs to a branch of the Chen family.
But times have changed. Mu Ningxue is now a forbidden spell expert. It can be said that it is only because she did not intend to start anew that the clan exists as a completely different entity!
For this reason, resource allocation can no longer be done in the same way as before.
Judging from the current situation, the debate has clearly not reached a conclusion yet...
