An ergency eting was imdiately convened in the Imperial Palace, including nia, all elders of the royal family with dragon blood.
"I think we can hold the investiture ceremony for the new Guardian in two days."
"A great suggestion. In that case, suddenly summoning most of the Imperial Guardians back to the Imperial City won’t seem so abrupt." Elder Ivan nodded and said.
"But how do we handle the gap in combat power of various provinces once the local Imperial Guardians leave? Those cults will surely take the opportunity to act, and the common people will likely..." Another royal elder frowned and said.
"We can’t care about that now, choosing the lesser of two evils is our best option." Elder Ivan sighed and said.
"I suggest we also call back Crown Walker this ti." At this mont, nia, who was in the main seat, spoke up.
"Crown Walker? But if he leaves, what if Queen Trebiz of the Wind Roc makes a move?" Another royal elder asked.
"I agree, we must learn from last ti’s lesson. If we had called back a Dawn Peak powerhouse like Crown Walker last ti, the results might have been completely different." Elder Ivan supported.
"...."
Half an hour later, the eting ended.
Colorful magical ssages were sent from the Imperial Palace in all directions.
At the sa ti, as if for extra security, large numbers of Blood Falcons and swifts carrying secret ssages flew out of the palace again a few minutes later.
The content of the secret ssage contained only one sentence: "On the last Sunday of this month, the Empire’s new Guardian investiture ceremony will be held..."
This was also the best reason agreed upon by the royal elders for gathering most of the Imperial Guardians in Imperial City Tamriel in two days.
Of course, this kind of subterfuge might not be very effective on the Divine, but if so matters can be kept hidden a bit longer, it ans higher chances of success on our side.
...
At the site of the Bixiu chanization School.
Rein, after a slight attempt, was happily surprised to find that his progress in outlining the Advanced ditation thod’s "Steel Heart" Fifth Layer model had increased by three runes of will, reaching 395 will runes.
This was as he had expected, the increase in the total amount of spiritual power was indeed beneficial for advancing the ditation thod’s progress.
A few hours later.
Rein pushed the progress to 412, but the speed of progress started to slow down again. He knew that the current level of improvent was nearing its limit.
In other words, the drug effect benefits from taking the Extraordinary Wisdom Potion were gradually becoming exhausted at this point.
"The effect of absorbing Divine Power Crystals is still the best." Rein couldn’t help but sigh.
At this mont, suddenly, the communication mark on Rein’s chest began to flicker.
With a slight sense, Rein frowned slightly, then imdiately left the secret chamber and went to the palace.
Since magical ssaging is not absolutely safe, nia was at this mont in a secluded secret chamber of the palace, waiting for Rein.
Soon, under the guidance of a female attendant, Rein arrived at the secret chamber.
After the female attendant left, Rein couldn’t help but ask:
"nia, what is so urgent?"
"Rein, there is sothing you need to pay special attention to. Two days later..." nia recounted the situation in detail.
After listening to what nia said, Rein’s expression also turned grave.
Only then did Rein know that last ti when the emperor attempted to ascend to Demigod, he was interrupted by several Divine Avatars at a critical mont and was not successful, and he also suffered serious injuries.
It must be noted that the information he had received earlier was not like this.
It seems that for the sake of the Empire’s morale and the royal family’s prestige, the circulated ssage was modified and processed. The ssage declared that although the Empire Emperor was seriously injured, his failed ascension was portrayed as a successful one.
"So, is it likely that those Divine will descend again this ti?" After a mont of contemplation, Rein asked.
Although nia’s consciousness had briefly rged into his body earlier, due to the short ti, Rein only knew part of the secrets and knowledge nia possessed.
"Yes, this possibility is very high." nia nodded and said.
"nia, won’t two days be too rushed? Why doesn’t the Emperor choose a ti when he’s more prepared to ascend?" Rein asked again.
"Because the intensification of the energy tide has a much greater effect on the revival of the Divine than our strength increase speed."
"The strengthening of the energy tide’s fluctuation will indeed create more powerhouses for the Empire, but that takes ti."
"And ti is precisely what we don’t have."
"I understand." Rein nodded.
"One more question. I heard that the Empire’s founding Emperor Atlas was a Demigod Level powerhouse, and then it seems there were two more Emperors who also reached the Demigod Level. Where are they?"
This question had lingered in Rein’s mind for a long ti.
Of course, if not for the special relationship between him and nia, Rein might not even find an appropriate person to ask for the answer to this question.
"Indeed, all three ancestors successfully reached the Demigod Level, but that was two thousand years ago. At that ti, it happened to be shortly after the Empire was established, and they noticed that the energy tide gradually descended to a low point."
"Humans are not a long-lived race; their lifespans are limited. Perhaps the Divine and those Ancient Giant Beasts can escape by slumbering, but humans cannot."
"So, even though the ancestors were powerful, they could only seek other thods. According to the royal family’s secret records, the ancestors and the few Full Moon Wizards at that ti all went to other worlds."
