Thirty years later, in the Elfalhn Realm, a festive atmosphere perated the surroundings.
Guests from various parts of the Dinsional Alliance—first-rate forces, top families, and sects—filled the area.
Each chattered endlessly, wondering when the wedding would start.
In a grand garden quarter, young guests from top families were discussing the sudden marriage of Alice, the Saintess of the Elfalhn race.
"I didn't expect Alice to be getting married already..."
"Tsk, She was only at the Tier 10 Realm and was already indulging in such affairs? The Elfalhn family is hopeless."
"Heh, I think you're just jealous!"
"Hahaha! That's right, Robert. If you're jealous, just admit it!"
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous? I just didn't expect Alice to pick so unknown man. What a disgrace to the top families!" Robert retorted.
Robert was from the Vernillot Family, one of the top families in the Dinsional Alliance.
With the sa status and potential, Robert initially wanted to marry Alice.
Unfortunately, a wildling appeared before he could propose a marriage.
"Unknown man? Don't underestimate the one Alice is marrying."
"Hmph! Isn't that guy, Lux, just a shabby businessman who earned so money?"
"That seems so, what a pity…"
Of course, they had investigated the groom, Lux.
Knowing he was the owner of a rising investnt firm in the Central Virtual Dinsion, they had a bit of respect for him.
However, despite his net worth of hundreds of billions of origin coins, the gap between him and the first-rate forces was insurmountable, much less the top families.
While they chatted about Lux, Otto and a few of his friends were also curious.
"I didn't expect her to marry so soon..."
"What's the big deal? Even though she's a Saintess from a top family, she's no match for us Primordial Candidates," Hjalmar from the rcenary Alliance muttered.
Their circle consisted of the top prodigies nurtured by the Dinsional Alliance.
Possessing origin-grade physiques, they looked down on everyone else.
If not for the insistence of their master, they wouldn't have bothered attending such an event.
"Don't be so deaning; we are at a wedding. We should congratulate them~" Sunniva from the Eternal Sect advised.
"Heh, so what? I can say whatever I want! Why do we even need to attend this event? It's a waste of ti!"
As a Primordial Candidate, the hope and guardian of the Aeon Plane, all they cared about was training and growing stronger as quickly as possible.
They had no ti for these kinds of charades.
"Ignorant. We are here to et 'him,'" Geir from the Ashura Sect muttered with fighting intent.
His master had told him that the new Primordial Candidate who completed the Virtual Trial would be at this event.
Though busy, they made ti to attend because of this potential encounter.
Hearing what he said, the others fell silent, pondering who this mysterious person might be.
"I wonder if he's stronger than those three..." Geir thought, glancing at the three people in the corner
Linus, the prodigious talent of the Virtual Realm; Ylva from the Space-Ti Bureau; and finally, Paragon, the strongest among them, hailing from the Interdinsional Alliance.
…
anwhile, at the core of the Ancestral World Tree, the Three Supre Witches were waiting impatiently for the groom.
"When will this Lux arrive?" Elderra, the second witch, muttered impatiently.
Disappointed with Alice's poor life choices, she wanted to quickly end this farce and select the next Saintess.
Being a Saintess of the Elfalhn family was an honor and a responsibility.
One needed complete focus, unaffected by external circumstances, an iron will, and selflessness to break the curse of their race.
Though the Elfalhn Race were one of the oldest families in the Aeon Plane, they were only diocre among the top forces.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be ranked between the top families but the top sects.
They needed an infusion of new blood, the ergence of a Supre Witch from the next generation.
Unfortunately, no complete World Tree remained available for them to achieve this.
They could only rely on hard work and miracles to break the barrier ahead and advance.
"Don't be so impatient. This marriage might be an opportunity for us," Sylvara, the First Supre Witch, hinted.
"Opportunity? What opportunity? That poor boy?" the third witch, Veridra, mocked.
"Do you think I would agree to this marriage if it were that simple? Furthermore, have you seen the guest list? Do you know how much weight we carry to have invited such esteed guests?" Sylvara reprimanded, glaring at her sisters' ignorance.
It seed ti had even dulled their intelligence.
They only looked at the surface of the situation, not bothering to investigate the essence of things.
"What do you an?" they frowned, sensing the seriousness in Sylvara's tone.
Sylvara didn't answer but urged them to observe the guests waiting in their dinsion.
"Huh? This?! How is this possible?"
Seeing the top powers of the Dinsional Alliance gathered in the Elfalhn Realm, the two witches couldn't help but grow nervous.
Although no Supre Master of the Ocean of Law attended, the presence of various geniuses left them gulping.
Especially the 12 Primordial Candidates of the Dinsional Alliance.
These prodigies had such a high status in the alliance that even them the supre master had a hard ti eting them.
Although weaker in strength, their importance surpasses them, the master of the ocean of laws.
Attending what they thought was a trivial wedding had given them quite a shock.
"Sister, what is happening here? Is there sothing wrong with the man Alice is marrying?"
"Hmph! First, let tell you the background of this man."
"Lux Shadowcrest, less than ten thousand years old, possesses an ultimate heroic physique, attempted the Tier 9 Virtual Trial, and passed beyond the 161,000th floor—"
"What?! Passed beyond the 161,000th floor? How is that possible?"
|empyr.
The 161,000th floor was the dividing line between diocrity and a prodigy.
To beco a saint of a top family, passing the 161,000th floor of the Tier 9 Virtual Tower was a requirent.
Forget Lux's physique barely reaching the ultimate rank—just passing the 161,000th floor already made him comparable to Alice.
"What's impossible? This is just the beginning. The Shadowcrest family, from the first generation to the third, all passed the 161,000th floor."
"This—you must be joking! Sister, there's a limit to what you can say!" Elderra and Veridra shouted, looking at Sylvara as if she had gone insane.
A whole family passing the 161,000th floor of the Tier 9 Virtual Trial? Did this an they all had the talent of saints?
"Hmph! This is verified information I obtained from the top sects! The Ashura Sect, Immortal Palace Sect, Eternal Sect, and chanical Alliance all have preparatory saint-level disciples from the Shadowcrest family you belittle!"
"Is this true?" Elderra and Veridra asked in a daze.
"Hehe, of course it's true! Furthermore, the head of the Shadowcrest family, Maximus Shadowcrest, is a Primordial Candidate who completed all 161,803 floors!" Sylvara snorted, satisfied with their shocked expressions.
When she first learned this news, she had been just as shocked.
A few years ago, Alice had given her a letter.
Initially, she dismissed such an insignificant thing.
However, as a saintess, she still paid so attention to Alice.
Soon, upon reading the letter and looking into the information, her jaw nearly dropped.
It was shocking enough that the Shadowcrest family had spread across the top sects, but knowing Maximus was the newly erging prodigy who completed the 161,803rd floor of the Tier 9 Virtual Trial was beyond belief.
If not for the confirmation of the top sects and the Dinsional Alliance, she wouldn't have believed it at all.
Sending the letter, Maximus was ready to reveal his cards.
With sufficient strength and the ultimate backing of Iris, he no longer had any concerns.
Furthermore, as he grew stronger, he increasingly sensed the impending oppression descending upon the Aeon Plane.
To quickly grow stronger, he could no longer remain low-key.
There was also his grudge with the Interdinsional Council.
Although he had been in disguise at the ti, he knew it was only a matter of ti before they discovered his identity.
To combat all his challenges and prepare for what was to co, Maximus needed to fully reveal his Primordial Candidate status.
With Lux's wedding, Maximus saw the perfect chance to unveil his cards.
After calming down and confirming that everything Sylvara said was true, various thoughts crossed Elderra and Veridra's minds.
"This Shadowcrest family... just what kind of blessings do they possess?"
"Maybe they have a unique bloodline?"
"It's possible. Then this marriage..."
As thoughts flashed through their minds, they couldn't help but exchange glances.
This marriage might indeed be their opportunity.
With the combined bloodline of the Shadowcrest family and the Elfalhn race, breaking the curse that shrouded them might actually be possible.
A family with saint-level potential coupled with their top bloodline potential, they couldn't imagine what monster would be born with their union.
Thinking of the various possibilities, they couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming marriage.
