Alianmel, Divine Empress of the Ember Court
Upon hearing this statement...
The Ember Court was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop.
At this very moment.
Alanmonlos's calm voice far surpassed any grand or domineering declaration.
The True King finally remembered.
The new emperor of the Endless Planes before us rose from weakness and, through various means, forcefully defeated Duomeng, the son of the Crystal Emperor who had essentially taken control of the Endless Planes.
He's not an easy person to talk to, but he's only trying to present a perfect image because he's just been crowned the new emperor of the Endless Planes.
But an image is something that can be broken at any time.
The True King, for their own benefit, were unwilling to go to the Land of True Nothingness to wage war, and Alanmonlos naturally would not allow it.
All living beings in the Endless Planes are his subjects.
The reason he's giving you kind advice and reasoning isn't because he can only give you reasoning, but because he himself possesses the knowledge of reason.
It's good to listen to them.
If you don't obey, then you will face the wrath of Thunder.
At this moment.
If any True King were to look into the eyes of the majestic Monarch on the throne, he would find that the monarch's expression had turned cold, and his entire being exuded an obscure and unfathomable aura.
Hey.
Lord of Ash, King of Endless Armaments, Emperor of Embers —these are not exactly flattering titles.
The concept of Embers cultivated by the Ember Emperor —this sky full of gray snow—is not a symbol of loneliness.
And so, after a long period of silence...
Finally, a voice rang out from among the True King.
"I agree, Your Majesty. I am willing to join Your Majesty on this expedition!"
"The Multiverse is our mortal enemy. They dare to venture beyond the Multiverse and travel to my Endless Planes to attack us. They truly do not take us seriously. Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the expedition!"
"Your Majesty is a man of great stature and wisdom; every decision you make is surely the result of careful consideration. Following your lead, the decision is bound to be correct."
We firmly support all of His Majesty's decisions!
"Your Majesty, that Multiverse is so aggressive, daring to venture beyond its boundaries to conquer us. We, the Endless Planes, are not Endless Planes. We wish to take the initiative and let the Supreme of the Multiverse witness the majesty of True King like ourselves."
"Victory is assured, Your Majesty! We have witnessed the abilities of that Lord of the Sacred Yuliel, and his power is certainly far inferior to Your Majesty's! Victory is certain!"
These are the True King who were once spared by Jiang Yuu.
They spoke words they didn't mean, but in their hearts they were already willing to be captured again if Alanmonlos were defeated.
On the throne.
Alanmonlos smiled with satisfaction as he saw the many True King and ministers below, all brimming with fighting spirit.
Upon seeing this, a direct descendant of True King immediately shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, look at the resounding cries of 'Let's fight!' echoing throughout the hall, this proactive conquest of the Multiverse is truly an inevitable trend. I am willing to be the vanguard, to pave the way for my Endless Planes!"
That's really what he thought.
Since Alanmonlos rose to power, there have been people who have been truly loyal to him over the years.
"Kalai'es, aren't you afraid?"
"Hey, I'm going on this expedition with you. I have no idea what fear is."
Kalai'es chuckled.
"Very well, Kalai'es, my finest kin, since you're willing to be the vanguard, then so be it!"
Alanmonlos nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Kalai'es was overjoyed and immediately knelt down.
Alanmonlos waved his hand.
"Get up."
Then, he looked at the hall full of True King and smiled.
"Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled!"
"Mengtuola, you are in charge of preparing for the expedition. All war equipment, fortresses, warships, etc., must be ready. Furthermore, you are responsible for recruiting the legions and powerful warriors of my Emberfolk and Illusionfolk."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A young True King with a solemn expression stepped out of the ranks.
Alanmonlos continued speaking.
"Alandu, you are responsible for conveying the order for the expedition to all the True King who did not attend this grand assembly throughout the Endless Planes."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A middle-aged, round-faced True King stepped forward.
"But what if those True King are unwilling to answer the call?"
"Hmph, tell them that if you can't get them to come, then I'll be the one to ask them to go to war."
"When the time comes, I won't give them any face as True King. Besides, my army of criminals needs some strong men and talented individuals!"
Alanmonlos said coldly.
"I understand, Your Majesty."
The round-faced True King, Alandu, nodded and withdrew.
Alanmonlos then named dozens more True King, instructing them on what they needed to accomplish, and everything proceeded smoothly.
Clearly, he had been considering these matters for some time.
Setting out to conquer the Multiverse had long been on his mind, but this time it was just a sudden impulse. He sensed that Jiang Yuu was leading a large army on an expedition, so he made arrangements in advance.
After recounting the arrangements for the expedition, Alanmonlos's expression softened.
He looked at his wife and the Elder Illusion, and smiled.
"My wife, Alianmel, Elder Illusion, you two stay and guard the Ember Court."
"After I leave, the development of the Endless Planes will continue as before; do not change it lightly."
"Also, if any unforeseen circumstances arise, the two of you should discuss and resolve them. If you cannot resolve them through discussion, then Alianmel's opinion shall prevail."
"I will leave behind a loyal legion and a portion of the True King to assist you in ruling the Endless Planes."
Queen Alianmel of the Ember Court and the old True King of the Illusionfolk nodded.
"I will obey your orders, Your Alanmonlos."
Meanwhile, Queen Alianmel of the Ember Court gazed tenderly at her husband.
"Alan, if anything goes wrong on this expedition, please return early. The Endless Planes will always be loyal to you."
Alanmonlos stroked his wife's face beside him and smiled.
"That won't happen. I will win. I will defeat everything, including that Yuliel."
His eyes were deep, and a strong sense of confidence emanated from them.
"Just like every battle before, I have never been defeated, and this time will be no different."
That's all.
He then looked at the thousands of True King in the main hall and spoke.
"Five thousand years! I want you to spend five thousand years bringing your armies, your fortresses, to march with me!"
Is it possible?
"Able!"
A deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, instantly resounded throughout the Ember Court.
"Then, let's call it a day!"
Once all the ministers had dispersed, the True King had also fled.
Alanmonlos then stroked the throne beneath him and spoke slowly.
"Crystal Emperor, Crystal Emperor, in every battle back then, you always took the initiative. Were you, like me, worried that the true master hidden in the Endless Planes would be awakened?"
"I am the Ember Emperor, and I shall protect all living beings."
"Sleeping Creator, never awaken."
"Endless Planes need no new master."
His eyes were deep and thoughtful.
Five thousand years later.
The Endless Planes army set out, following a specific route, heading straight for the Multiverse army.
I don't know if it's a coincidence.
Their route is exactly the same as that of the Multiverse army!
At the summit of Paradise Mountain.
The majestic Monarch, who sat with his eyes closed on the Platinum Heavenly Throne, suddenly opened his eyes the instant the army of the Ember Court stepped out of the Endless Planes.
