The Earth High Priest was an old man. Hearing the Wind High Priest call on him, he opened his half-closed eyes and said,
"Yes, His Majesty found us. We have already placed him under our protection."
The Fire High Priest said with a sigh,
"As expected of an Otherworlder. What an astonishing way to return through rebirth."
The Water High Priest, however, looked at the Earth High Priest and said,
"So you're in favor of moving against the current dynasty?"
The Earth High Priest said softly,
"Our Church has always helped generations of monarchs govern the realm. Now we're simply taking back the power that belongs to us."
The Water High Priest merely gave a mocking smile and said nothing. That line might work on outsiders, but among themselves, no one should take it seriously.
Neither the Wind High Priest nor the Fire High Priest said anything more. They seemed to agree with the Earth High Priest.
Inside a manor, Shining Girl looked at Cheng Yu expectantly.
"My king, what should we do next?"
Cheng Yu had specially modified the Pure White Emissary to match this world's style of clothing, turning it into a noble's formal attire. Of course, if one ignored his current physique, the outfit looked quite handsome.

"What do you mean, what should we do?"
Shining Girl paused, then said,
"Recruit soldiers and rebuild the Second-er, the Herman Dynasty, of course, my king."
Cheng Yu said calmly,
"And then?"
Shining Girl continued,
"Then, of course, you'll rule the realm and claim every good thing in the world for yourself."
Cheng Yu asked again,
"And then?"
Shining Girl thought for a moment and said,
"Then you enjoy it. Enjoy everything in the world that you've won."
