Chapter 985: Chapter 505 Temporarily Stop Reading, I Need to Make Some Edits

After discovering that there had been disturbances within the Imperial Parliament, Emperor Aoyue III had no choice but to reluctantly lead his troops back to the Empire; after all, maintaining the order within the Empire was the Emperor’s first and foremost duty compared to Ivita.

Looking at the gradually retreating troops, the Fire Emperor Knight on the city wall suddenly felt the burden in his heart disappear. He collapsed and sat on the ground, gasping for air as if he still found the withdrawal of the Emperor’s army unbelievable.

As the enemy disappeared, the great furnace of the Fire Emperor Fort gradually retracted the flames scattered across the wilderness, calming the great turmoil brought by the war.

And the pollution, assimilation, and distortion caused in this region by the Universal Law: Divine Invasion was also gradually subsiding; However, some permanent erosion was inevitably left behind, which would take time to soothe the outer wilderness twisted by the Universal Law: Divine.

In these twisted regions, the sky displayed very peculiar weather phenomena, such as the persistently strange auroras, clouds formed of sacred number 4s, and a glow radiating a divine radiance—the sunlight penetrating the earth...

In these regions, supernatural powers were suppressed.

"Universal Law: Divine seems to have a special suppressive effect on supernatural powers," Ivita slowly descended from the sky, "but that’s not quite right."

The Hearthstone Witch asked curiously, "Why is that incorrect, my magical power has been affected."

Ivita shook her head, her power changing several times, shielding her magical power with a kind of faith-based power. "I see, power is a component of civilization, and the Emperor as the protector of the civilized world, how could he harm civilization? It is just that the Emperor is the Guardian of faith in civilization, therefore any reactionary force that disrespects the Lord of All Things will be suppressed."

"The outcome might be the same, but the process is different; the method of solving it is poles apart."

"Moreover, Universal Law: Divine probably judges by deeds, not the mind. It looks at everything you have gone through in the past, the results you’ve accumulated, not whether your heart is devout at the moment."

The Hearthstone Witch bowed her head, contemplative, like a humble seeker of truth. "No wonder there are such hypocrites in this world. They pretend to be devout, controlling their words and actions, believing all of this is an ordeal. Then, once they are sent somewhere, they can take advantage and rule over others until they are discovered, or perhaps never to be found."

Ivita nodded.

On the city wall, the Fire Emperor Knight quickly stood and saluted Ivita, his gaze toward Ivita filled with some admiration and reverence. "Your Majesty, thank you for coming."

"Without you, this castle would have been breached."

"Respected Your Majesty, I am forever willing to serve you."

"We are fortunate to have won the war. Would you like to reward the soldiers?"

Ivita shook her head at him. "Regarding rewards, follow the usual precedent. But we must remain vigilant now, as Aoyue III may not have actually left this place."

The Fire Emperor Knight’s body, which had been relaxed, instantly tensed up again.

He exclaimed, "What?"

Then he realized he had lost his composure. "I apologize, Your Majesty, but hasn’t the wicked Emperor left our lands? The Emperor’s territory is already vast, does he still intend to invade our land, could he possibly return? How despicable."

He gripped his weapon tightly.

Ivita did not answer, but simply flicked her fingers, and suddenly a huge Golden Raven appeared in the sky. She flicked her fingers seven times in succession, and seven Golden Ravens appeared in the sky above the fortress.

These three-legged Golden Ravens were projections of Ivita’s Genuine Sun Universe in the Magic Black Forest. They interlaced, transforming into seven suns that corresponded with the Fire Emperor Fort’s great furnace, creating a more powerful domain of flames, turning the wilderness that was gradually calming back into a splendid land of golden flames.

Even the twisted worlds created by Universal Law: Divine began to recede gradually.

One hour later, the Emperor’s army reappeared on the far-off wasteland, but this army, upon seeing the golden flames burning on the wasteland and the defensive army on the city walls, turned around and continued to leave.

Ivita waved to Emperor Aoyue III across the battlefield, "Your Majesty, we meet again. Have you left something here and thus had to return?"

Upon the Emperor’s palanquin, Aoyue III also had a smile on his face for Ivita, though more forced.

Sitting on his palanquin, he clenched his fists. Originally, he had wanted to strike back in a counterattack, to see if Ivita’s side had relaxed. If the Fire Emperor Fort gave him an opportunity, he would have ordered a full-force assault.

But now, it seemed, the cunning Ivita had anticipated his prediction.

Aoyue III said to Ivita with a forced smile, "Respected Lord Ivita, perhaps I just wanted a second meeting with you, but you shouldn’t be too pleased just yet."

"The lands contaminated by my Universal Law along the way are countless, and it will be difficult for you to reclaim the castles that I have conquered."

"It will take several months."

Ivita frowned, as the Universal Law’s suppression of kingdom-level Laws was indeed severe, and the Fire Dragon Law had been significantly disrupted.

Universal Law radiated across All Heavens and Universes and even beyond the Great Void to other grand universes, affecting the operation of the Multi-Universe, leading the forces of order, no small matter.
