CHAPTER 770: AS HIS REPRESENTATIVE

Aldrian then cancelled his avatar technique, the avatar instantly dissipating into particles of energy which were absorbed by Aldrian. After that, he told Sylphia about the great war that might happen next week and the plan he had for the Barevisk family.

As Aldrian told her the information, Sylphia was truly shocked, and she couldn’t help but notice that Aldrian seemed not to pay much attention to the matter he had just shared. It was as if what he had said was not a big deal.

Even though she had never seen a great war between stars, she had already experienced the great war that involved millions of people with the devils. That alone she considered to be a horrifying battle, which caused so much destruction and so many victims.

She couldn’t imagine how terrible a great battle between stars would be, involving not only far more powerful cultivators but also far greater numbers. But then something clicked inside her mind, and she narrowed her eyes while looking at her man.

"My emperor, are you planning to face all those devils without the support of other powers? If my guess is correct, the other powers don’t know about the devils’ incoming attack, because if that were the case, then at this moment all of them would be busy preparing their troops or anything else for the war," she suddenly said.

Aldrian nodded.

"Correct. The other powers do not know, and we don’t have to tell them, because it will undoubtedly reach the populace, which in the end will cause panic. Why do I choose to take care of this alone? Well, it will be much faster that way. Also, I can test my strength. Since the appearance of the god of the devils, I have grown stronger, and I need something like the devils to test that strength."

Sylphia sighed when she heard that.

"Truly, you are the only one who could say something like that. Then what about the avatar?"

"I will send the avatar with Ilona to the Barevisk family in the Akares star to take care of her parents’ problem and also the Barevisk family. Maybe, if possible, the Valroy family could be taken care of on that trip as well," Aldrian replied.

"As for me, I think after taking care of the invasion, I will visit the Fallen Star Cluster. Well, I have to say that my cleansing operation will begin then."

Sylphia slightly widened her eyes.

"You... you will attack the devil base in the Fallen Star Cluster?"

Aldrian nodded.

"Yes. I will bring the other powers that wish to follow me, and I will use this chance as a show of force to them, to give them confidence, since I need their strength to help me cleanse all of the devils spread across the first heaven."

Sylphia’s heart trembled. She knew that her man had a great personal mission in his life, and it looked like he was about to take the first step of his expedition to cleanse the universe of the devils. She sighed and couldn’t help but feel worried about his safety, which made Aldrian smile and hug her warmly.

"I will just go to the Fallen Star Cluster, and after taking care of all the devils there, I will come back. So I will not be gone as long as you think. You don’t have to worry. I still have to take care of some problems near home after all, and once I finish everything and make sure no problems will arise in the future, only then will I go to much farther places," he said reassuringly.

Sylphia couldn’t help but smile and nodded as she hugged him back. After holding each other for a moment, Sylphia released herself from his arms and looked into his eyes.

"Do you remember the princess of the Verdyn Empire asking for your help? About the problem her imperial family faces from the opposition force?" she asked.

Aldrian did not know why Sylphia suddenly brought it up, but he still nodded.

"Of course I remember. What about it?"

"I will visit their empire as your representation. I think that would be enough to show that the Silvarin imperial family has your support. You don’t have to visit the Verdyn Empire yourself, and you could focus on other matters while I take care of their business," Sylphia said, which left Aldrian stunned. But then he smiled warmly. He suddenly hugged her again, this time much more tightly.

"You are so cute that I cannot resist hugging you."

"Hey, I’m serious—"

"Alright, you can go to the Verdyn Empire."

Sylphia was stunned for a split second before she finally smiled.

"I thought you would keep me here with a thousand reasons. I even prepared many arguments so you would approve me."

Still smiling, Aldrian stroked her long hair as he answered.

"How could I stop you from helping me? In fact, I’m really grateful that you want to help me with this. What you’re doing will ease my responsibility after I gave my promise to Princess Vaeril."

Another reason he agreed was that he wanted his woman to be known beyond their continent and to begin exploring the outside world herself. Sylphia liked adventure, and he wanted to indulge that by letting her travel outside the continent.

This would also serve as her introduction to the continent of elves, showing that Sylphia was his woman, his family, and his representative. They would come to know another important figure from the Barisan continent besides him.

Since Sylphia was of the same race as the elves, she would likely be welcomed more easily. This would also help the populace of the Verdyn Empire view the relationship between the Silvarin imperial family and his empire in a more positive light.

Sylphia smiled happily and tightened her hug.

"Thank you for trusting me," she said.

"You may go to the elven continent after I take care of the devils’ problem next week. It will have a much bigger impact that way. However, besides some members of the Dark Saber Group, I will send you with one of my avatars. This is non-negotiable, because there might be unknown variables outside that I do not know, and it is for your safety," Aldrian said.

Sylphia nodded several times.

"Of course, dear. With you by my side, even if it is only your avatar, I will be much more confident and at ease."

They kept hugging each other for a moment before Aldrian suddenly lifted her body in a princess carry. The sudden movement made her yelp. She blinked a few times, wondering what he was doing, but when she saw the lewd expression on his face, she knew exactly what was on his mind.

She couldn’t help but blush and turn her head away.

"No, it’s still daytime, and I think you have more important things to do. There might also be guests coming."

But his expression did not change. Instead, he leaned his head closer to her ear.

"They can wait. For now, I will do something far more important," he whispered softly, sending a shudder through her body.

Sylphia, unable to resist Aldrian’s words and passion, finally let herself be carried away.

A few minutes later, they were already inside their bedroom. Moans of ecstasy escaped from Sylphia, mingling with the sharp rhythm of flesh meeting flesh. They fully enjoyed their time together for the next few hours.

--------------------------

Time continued to pass, and five days went by without anything remarkable. The populace of the Ancient Blue Gate World carried on with their activities, while many powers from various places still congregated on the Barisan continent.

There were many forces that still wanted to build relationships with the Aster Empire and learn more about the continent. There were also many who wished to meet Aldrian. So, even though the continent had been opened to the world more than two weeks ago, many important figures were still coming to visit, even to this day.

Some of the important figures who had arrived earlier had not yet returned to their own territories.

For example, the group from the Martal Empire, led by Emperor Rozwald. There were many mysteries and interesting places for him to study, and most importantly, there were still matters he wanted to discuss with Aldrian personally while also deepening their relationship.

At this moment, Emperor Rozwald was near one of the forbidden zones on the Barisan continent, Dragon Back Mountain. He had heard that it was a place where violent winds barred entry and could even kill those who forced their way in.

Aldrian, who had decided not to disable the formation on the mountain, allowed it to maintain its forbidden zone status.

The emperor was amazed when, as he ventured deeper into the mountain, the wind’s strength suddenly spiked. It was so intense that his group hesitated to continue, forcing him to stop and remain at the outer region.

While he was observing the mountain, Prince Ronwell approached him from behind. Without turning his head, Emperor Rozwald asked,

"How is it?"

Prince Ronwell shook his head in response.

"Nothing. We still can’t reach our observer team at the Fallen Star Cluster. It’s truly strange, and with them out of contact for more than three weeks, I think we can confidently say this is not a communication problem caused by a space storm or anything like that. I even dare to say that something might have happened to them."

Emperor Rozwald nodded, as he thought the same.

A bad feeling suddenly rose within him.

Unbeknownst to them, somewhere in space, a large armada of interstellar vessels had just emerged from a wormhole.
