Chapter 1799: Chapter 1792: Overstepping Authority

On the other side, since Luo’er decided to pass on magical knowledge to Emperor Wu, he was almost summoned to the palace every day.

Emperor Wu even wanted to set up a palace within the royal grounds for Luo’er to reside permanently, making it easier for him to have long conversations with Luo’er, but such a suggestion was immediately dismissed by the Cabinet.

Seeing Luo’er having to enter the palace daily to meet Emperor Wu, Tangmo always felt uneasy at heart.

After all, with Luo’er’s appearance, even men could hardly help but feel admiration, so she worried that Luo’er might suffer a disadvantage in the palace. Every time Luo’er returned, she would lower her stature to actively inquire with Fulajie’er, ensuring Luo’er wasn’t bullied.

Ichuan Fei was initially worried about Luo’er speaking recklessly, but after observing for a while, he found that Emperor Wu made little progress. Thus, he decided to take the initiative to engage with Luo’er.

After understanding the principles of learning magic and Emperor Wu’s current situation, he may still be uneasy but laid aside his main concern, no longer keeping a 24-hour watch on the two but letting them do as they pleased.

Without Ichuan Fei’s surveillance, both Emperor Wu and Luo’er felt much more relaxed, so when sitting face-to-face, they would not only talk about magic but also discuss some personal matters.

Luo’er would tell Emperor Wu about their advance team’s adventures, especially their experiences related to the Western Continent, exciting Emperor Wu and making him yearn for the Western Continent.

He made an agreement with Luo’er that once the East Continent and Western Continent officially established connections, he would personally visit the Western Continent to see the mysterious and novel Western Continent and the Otherworld, Earth, where Luo’er resides.

On this day, the palace’s guard remained quite lax. Ichuan Fei was busy with his own tasks and, out of trust in the two, did not assign anyone to monitor them, giving the two temporary private space.

Seizing this opportunity, Luo’er took a deep breath, deciding to ask about the question lingering in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I have always had a question in my heart that only your Majesty can answer. Could your Majesty tell me?"

"Hey, what words are these, National Teacher? Please speak, no word will be kept from you," Emperor Wu said, waving his hand nonchalantly.

"This matter should not be known by too many people," Luo’er said lightly.

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing his words, Emperor Wu was silent for a moment, then leaned forward and took a deep breath before speaking softly, "Then, let’s speak quietly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Luo’er nodded with gratitude, also leaning forward and lowering his voice.

"What are you doing?"

At that moment, he heard the voice of Fulajie’er in his mind, so he answered instinctively, "Preventing eavesdropping."

"Luo’er..." Fulajie’er sighed helplessly, "Have you stayed on the East Continent too long that your brain has turned East? In Western Continent magic, there is a kind of magic called Silence Domain."

"But after this magic is deployed, no sound can be heard inside the domain."

"That is magic for mortals, but I am a god."

"Very well..." Luo’er nodded, then straightened his body again.

"With whom is the National Teacher speaking?"

Since Luo’er spoke in Western Continent’s Tasta language, Emperor Wu couldn’t understand a word and could only ask with wide eyes.

"Communicating with the heavens," Luo’er explained lightly.

"Ah, so this is the heavenly language," Emperor Wu realized.

"Your Majesty need not be so constrained. I have a way to ensure that our words won’t be known by outsiders."

As Luo’er spoke, he snapped his fingers lightly and called out, "Domain, activate!"

At his command, Fulajie’er unfolded a layer of Silence Domain.

Unlike traditional Silence Domains, the Silence Domain unfolded by the demigod Fulajie’er was as thin as a cicada’s wing, like a bubble.

People within the domain could speak loudly, but the sound could not penetrate the barrier and reach the outside world, for this domain would still all vibrations.

"What’s wrong?"

Emperor Wu clearly felt something amiss but couldn’t discern what was happening.

"Your Majesty need not be nervous," Luo’er explained leisurely, "I have already deployed a domain; speaking within this domain won’t be heard by outsiders."

"The National Teacher truly possesses divine abilities. How can I become as powerful as the National Teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

"Your Majesty jests." Luo’er smiled without reacting.

Luo’er knew that even if Emperor Wu studied magic for another fifty to a hundred years, he could never achieve such results.

Because this result simply cannot be achieved by humans; only beings like Fulajie’er, composed entirely of pure magical power having abandoned the physical form, can control magic so precisely.

The final destiny of Western Continent magic is the Forbidden Curse Level Magic Conductor, while the final destiny of East Continent cultivation is the demigod.

The essence of both is the application of magic, so their destinies are surprisingly consistent.

Magic Conductors cannot withstand the concentration of Forbidden Curse level magic power. Each use deepens the erosion of magic power.

So a Magic Conductor, having achieved true success, can only cast magic a few times in a lifetime.

And moreover, there’s a high probability that casting Forbidden Curse magic will result in being devoured by one’s own magic, akin to the saying "range three hundred meters, power three kilometers."

Cultivators on the East Continent, when their cultivation reaches the extreme, abandon the body, purify the soul, becoming the so-called Human God, also known as Nascent Soul.

So viewing the East and West Continents, there is almost no exception in believing that the physical body is a major restriction on magical power usage. If one wishes to use magical power freely, one must either damage the body or abandon it entirely.

Perhaps due to the cruel lessons from the Twilight of the Gods, the Ancestors firmly believe in the notion that the human heart is unfathomable and human nature undeniable, leading to the design of an Artificial Intelligence to regulate the magic power management of the Magic World.

The Ancestors’ scientists almost obsessively believed that only rules can constrain desires, and Artificial Intelligence serves as the steadfast executor of rules.

Although Tana, out of pity for the Elf Race, later modified the mission assigned to her by the Ancestors, fundamentally, as an Artificial Intelligence, Tana did not recklessly use magic power, preventing the arrival of the second Twilight of the Gods, which was enough.

Returning to the two, after making all preparations, Luo’er took a deep breath once again, his expression turning solemn.

He looked directly at Emperor Wu, asking seriously, "Your Majesty, may I ask if Your Majesty has siblings wandering outside?"

As expected, upon hearing this question, Emperor Wu’s body trembled violently, revealing a look of surprised unease.

"How, how does the National Teacher know..."

Halfway through his words, Emperor Wu instinctively shut his mouth. But it was already too late, for his reaction essentially confirmed Luo’er’s suspicion.

"Please answer me, Your Majesty. I want to know what truly happened back then."

"I, I, I..."

Emperor Wu’s gaze was evasive. He lowered his head, panting heavily, unable to get a word out for a long time.

"Some say, Your Majesty usurped the throne!"

Faced with Emperor Wu’s behavior, Luo’er decided to strike hard.

"I did not, I did not!!"

Emperor Wu shouted immediately, almost as if his tail had been stepped on.

"Then why does Your Majesty stutter without answering?"

Luo’er maintained a calm demeanor.

"Who did the National Teacher hear this from?" Taking a deep breath, Emperor Wu finally managed to regain composure temporarily, staring nervously at Luo’er to ask.

"I have a friend who claims to be of royal lineage."

"Which friend, is he at the National Teacher’s Mansion?"

"Is Your Majesty planning to silence him?"

"National Teacher," Emperor Wu showed rare ferocity, staring at Luo’er while gritting his teeth, "I respect the National Teacher because of your great ability. But please, do not interfere in these matters, lest you lose your life."

"Is Your Majesty threatening me?"

Upon hearing Emperor Wu’s vicious threat, Luo’er was not tense but instead showed a smile.

"I am not joking, even for the National Teacher, I would..."

Before Emperor Wu could finish, he noticed that Luo’er’s expression had also changed, staring at him blankly.

For the first time, Emperor Wu saw Luo’er’s fierce gaze; Luo’er now exuded an intensely suppressive murderous aura.

Luo’er had always presented himself as benevolent, leading those who first interacted with him to instinctively think of him as a naive and kind-hearted person.

But those who knew Luo’er understand that behind benevolence lies Luo’er’s coldness.

As the Captain of the advance team, if he were so weak and incompetent, how could he possibly lead the advance team to avert danger time and again?
