Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 620: Eldest Princess of the Empire

Li Wei smiled soundlessly, his gaze calm beneath the heavy helmet. He didn't care about this matter; on one hand, he was now a so-called Ice Apostle, meaning everyone was a "grasshopper on the same string." On the other hand, he truly had demonstrated his United Front Value.

Did people really think the Red Dragon Captain Okvarin was a good guy like Liu Bei, that easy to talk to?

A large part of the reason was that Li Wei could firmly withstand a Sequence Nine Psychic Storm without falling unconscious.

This point was just too important.

At this time, Old Qiao gave Xue Donglai a meaningful look, then closed his eyes and fell silent. The others, such as the Tier-5 Berserker Malthus and the Tier-5 Sky Ranger Han Guodong, had kept their eyes closed and been resting in silence from the very beginning.

Instead, it was the other Fifth-Order Knight, Joey, who muttered a complaint: "Is that Red Dragon Emperor just going to leave us here and ignore us? There's not even a single Dragon-Kin servant. We'll be paralyzed like this for the next 150 days. Does Thomas have to take care of us?"

"Hehe, then you guys will have to wait."

Li Wei simply ignored him and walked straight to the side, sitting cross-legged on the grass.

Although there were no building facilities here, the Mana in this valley was extremely abundant, the temperature was suitable, and the scenery was beautiful. It was truly a first-class place to rest.

Furthermore, if his guess was correct, the weakened state of Old Qiao and the other three should be able to recover much faster here.That Red Dragon Captain seemed rough and unconstrained, but he was actually quite meticulous.

Thinking this way, Li Wei also began to review the gains from this battle.

First was the one hundred pieces of Standard Origin Ore gifted to him by the Red Dragon Captain Okvarin. This truly solved his urgent need. In the previous battle, he had continuously consumed them, and later, to repair his Origin Protection Purple Card and increase his Sanity, he was ultimately left with only fifty-two pieces of Origin Ore.

Secondly, there were the Purple Card and Gold Card dropped by that Assassin. These needed to wait for a safe and appropriate opportunity to be opened.

The final gain was his Combat Breakthrough. This was simply the biggest gain, because this bottleneck wasn't as simple as 60 Free Attribute Points.

In this process, Free Attribute Points were like the sluice gate that opens to release water; they were the key to opening up a new world.

This was a new level of Life, a new level of balance between his body, his Profession Card, and Origin Force.

It was comparable to grand events like Foundation Establishment and Core Formation in a Cultivation World next door.

Therefore, it couldn't be compared to the previous All-Attribute Fourth-level Awakening.

Just to explain and describe it, that Origin Protection Purple Card sent him an instruction manual of nearly ten thousand words.

However, after summarizing and omitting the fluff, it boiled down to four points.

Firstly, his Profession Cards could now officially be renamed Origin Profession Cards. At the same time, Origin Particles could be used to perform a Rare Enhancement on the Profession Cards up to four times, and the Origin Profession Cards could accommodate more Origin Particles. However, if he wanted to continue upgrading to Seven-Star, he would need more Origin Force and conduct a more detailed tracing of origins, such as the professional origin of a Farmer, the professional origin of a Hunter, and so on. And these usually corresponded to individual Origin Profession Card quests, which could only be undertaken solo.

(Author's note: In the previous chapter, it was mistakenly written that Li Wei's Profession Card had not yet received the four-time Rare Enhancement. In reality, he had already completed the four-time Rare Enhancement.)

Secondly, his Lifespan increased by 500 years. His base Life surged directly by 500 points, Stamina +500. His three main attributes—Strength, Agility, and Defense—which had already reached 100 points, were automatically raised on average to 120 points. This was a change brought about by the leap in his Life level.

But because of this, these three main attributes could no longer be raised using conventional methods. It would require two Free Attribute Points to increase one point, and he had to gather 50 points all at once.

In other words, Li Wei had to prepare 300 Free Attribute Points before he could break through the bottleneck in one go.

As for his Normal Health, Normal Stamina, Normal Perception, and Normal Mental Power, they remained normal.

Among them, Li Wei's Spiritual Power and Perception didn't even change in the slightest.

The reason was also very simple: he was already too overpowered in these aspects.

Equally overpowered was his Origin Profession Card. Others could only complete the four-time Rare Enhancement after advancing, but he had completed it beforehand.

Thirdly, his Radiant Ranger Card officially upgraded to a Fifth-tier Epic Sacred Ranger Card, a tier higher than the 'Radiant' prefix of the Radiant Ranger Card. The specific reason was also very simple: Origin + Radiant could upgrade to Sacred.

He wasn't the only one; all Class Holders with a 'Radiant' prefix who advanced from Tier 4 Legend would have such a prefix. This meant that his resonance and integration with Origin Force had reached a very high level.

But if it was an 'Aurora' prefix, it would actively become 'Radiant', and so on.

As for the last point, it was that all Skills and Innate Talents could be upgraded to Epic-level Skills and Epic-level Innate Talents, but it would consume a massive amount of Origin Particles.

In short, all of the above pointed towards the Origin and got closer to the Origin.

Without Origin Force, all growth and progress would come to a standstill.

So, this made Li Wei think about the siege of the Dragon Spire this time. He was afraid that many Faction Organizations had been long-coveted the Dragon Spire for a long while.

He also wondered what role the Alliance of Heavenly Lords played in this.

It was now the twenty-sixth year, with four years left until the thirtieth year. The deployment of the Alliance of Heavenly Lords should not be fully in place yet. What exactly was the Nine-Star Council planning?

'Actually, I'd like to try another possibility. Okvarin said earlier that the Nine-Star Council once tried to recruit dragon lords to join the Alliance of Heavenly Lords but was rejected. So what about now? Is it possible to persuade the Ancient Dragonkin, or at least the Red Dragon Clan, to join the Alliance of Heavenly Lords?'

Such a thought popped into Li Wei's mind. This matter was worth a try, but how specifically to execute it might require some groundwork.

'Hmm, groundwork? Actually, there's no need. For this kind of thing, it's best to just lay out the pros and cons directly!'

Under the special buff of Heaven-Human Resonance, Li Wei made a decision in an instant. He immediately stopped lingering, stood up, and walked out of this valley. However, at the end of the valley, an invisible, transparent warding magic blocked him.

"Thomas, where do you intend to go?"

Olyndel's voice drifted over leisurely, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"Respected Eldest Princess, I have a matter I wish to discuss with His Majesty the Emperor of the Red Dragon Empire." Li Wei spoke very formally, giving her plenty of face.

There was a long silence from the other side before she spoke calmly, "Are you perhaps going to tell my brother that you are actually a Multiverse Lord, and the reason you want to find him now is to persuade the Ancient Dragonkin to join the All-Heavens Alliance... or at least, the Red Dragon Empire can join, right?"

Li Wei was slightly surprised. "The Eldest Princess is truly brilliant to be able to guess even this."

"Thomas, when you were achieving a Combat Breakthrough earlier, you could hide it from others, but you couldn't hide it from me. You used a Combat Breakthrough paradigm summarized by the Nine-Star Council, using 50 Life Particles to trigger a Near-Death State, didn't you?"

As she spoke, a Human Silhouette slowly approached from outside the ward. It was none other than that Draconic Sorceress. Currently, she was wearing a crimson sorcerer's robe and a bizarre dragon-horn mask, revealing only a pair of rational and calm eyes.

"So, Thomas, who are you really? I've already deduced using your name, and the result I got was just a big stone. However, this also seems to explain why you aren't affected by the Sequence Nine Psychic Storm."

Hearing this, Li Wei also calmed down. Being discovered was a high probability event; after all, he had been too conspicuous in the previous battle.

"The Eldest Princess has read extensively and is profoundly knowledgeable. I am truly full of admiration."

"Save the flattery. The reason I know is that I am also a Special Councilor of the Nine-Star Council in the Alliance of Heavenly Lords. When I was young, I mingled in the Alliance of Heavenly Lords for a thousand years and even tried establishing a Territory and upgrading it to a Kingdom. But later I felt it was boring, so I casually let that Kingdom perish. In order to retain me, the Nine-Star Council gifted me the status of a Special Councilor, without me needing to reach Tier-6 Immortal."

"Over the years, we actually have a lot of cooperation with the Alliance of Heavenly Lords. We are only a hair's breadth away from forming an alliance. So, Thomas, I'd like to know, what did the Nine-Star Council send you here to do? Does your Alliance of Heavenly Lords have some conspiracy brewing?"

Huh?

He actually ran into one of their own.

Li Wei blinked, expressing great surprise, and then shook his head. "I don't know either. I was just sent to obtain some Source Ore and then go to the Chaotic Realm to build an Outpost Safehouse. As a result, before I could even complete my mission, this mess happened. I am falsely accused; I didn't do anything."

"Stay calm, Thomas. No one here is going to do anything to you. Do you know why I suggested retreating on the Dragon Spire earlier? It's because if you continued to stay there, the probability of being discovered would be very high. Did you think the supreme and great Primordial Dragon God wouldn't see through your little tricks? Now, go. I have an Arbitrary Door here leading to the Nine-Star Council. Hurry back and don't get involved in these things anymore, let alone think about persuading the Red Dragon Empire to join the Alliance of Heavenly Lords. The entanglement of interests here isn't something a little Ranger who just advanced to the Fifth-Tier can handle."

"Do you know? My brother would rather marry me off to you to rope you in than join the Alliance of Heavenly Lords."

"However, we equally do not wish to fall out with the Alliance of Heavenly Lords. Maintaining the status quo is our demand, and I hope you can understand this."

Li Wei nodded. Yes, he understood, but he still asked one question.

"Then, do you need reinforcements?"

"What reinforcements? Are you perhaps an Emperor? Forget it. Before the supreme and great Primordial Dragon God gives the nod, we wouldn't even dare to harbor you, let alone talk about reinforcements. In short, you either become a Dragonborn and stay—in which case I'll be willing to marry you—or you immediately use the Arbitrary Door to leave. There is no third possibility. Oh, the third possibility is that the supreme and great Primordial Dragon God discovers your true identity and gives you the status of a Dragonblood Apostle for free. How about it?"

"Alright, I understand. I can leave, but can you not send me back to the Nine-Star Council? My mission is not yet complete. I need to go to the Chaotic Realm to build an Outpost Safehouse."

"Is that so? You still want to build an Outpost Safehouse. Being so resolute, it seems your Alliance of Heavenly Lords has finally understood the stakes—having it yourself is better than relying on others, right? I heard that over thirty years ago, a group of Multiverse Lords traveled to the Chaotic Realm using the Dragon Spire as a transit station. As a result, the news leaked, and they were ambushed by a team of Samsara Travelers and Contractors, resulting in a total wipeout."

"Alright then, I wish you good luck!"

"To express my admiration for your reckless yet brave behavior, I will personally gift you another 100 pieces of Standard Origin Ore. Consider it a small investment in favors for you, little Ranger. In the future, when you strike it rich, remember to pay me back ten times over."
