SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 169: Trident Summit&Divine Sage realm

7th Realm, Heavenly Abode...

Heavenly Abode is the massive rock palace that stretched hundreds of miles. The entire palace is carved out of a single rock.

The monarch of the 7th realm, the Quinn family, lives in this heavenly abode. Today is the decade long gathering day of the Quinn family, where all their branch family heads meet up in the heavenly abode.

In the central hall, 33 branch family heads of the Quinn family were waiting for the patriarch, Ryon, who is appearing after a long period of seclusion. In the center of this gathering, a large pile of rare resources were piled out as an offering to the Quinn family.

Among the 33 branch families of the Quinn family, three families were very close. The Frost family, Lin family, and Stick family were the close ones, as they originated from the royal lineage of persons who failed to get the patriarchal position of the Quinn family.

In that luxuriously decorated room, all 33 branch patriarchs were waiting eagerly for Ryon Lionheart [Father of Kent]. Today, the date for the 'Trident Summit' will be announced, where 33 branch families will fight for the resource allocation of the 7th realm, for the next decade.

Suddenly, two servants decorated with several golden inscription coins on their chests stepped at the center of the gathering and began stomping their spears loudly against the rocky floor.

"Attention… Attention… Attention… The emperor of the 7th realm, the Killer of Heaven rank beast, the Victor of the 9 realms summit, the 69th Sovereign Magus of the 9 realms, The Lionheart of the Quinn family, The 99th patriarch of the Quinn family, the Bearer of the Supreme Crown... "RYON LIONHEART" is here. Everyone, bow before the almighty."

The two servants announced it in a loud tone and marched to the side of the gathering. Soon, loud zither music played from all around the hall.

Wearing a golden crown, Ryon Lionheart made his entrance into the large hall. More than 100 beautiful women were dropping rare rainbow flowers along Ryon's path.

Reaching the center, where a large pile of resource offerings lay, Ryon smirked and continued to walk forward at a steady pace. All the 33-branch patriarchs bent their waists and bowed in a respectful stance.

Ignoring everyone, Ryon ascended the steps and sat on the large throne, which is a rare treasure carved with several powerful inscriptions.

"Sit down…" Ryon uttered authoritatively while sitting comfortably on the throne. He placed his arms all along the throne rests, displaying his proudness through a smug face.

The gathering continued for a long time, where each branch patriarch stood up and recited his oath. Ryon patiently heard the reports from each patriarch about their kingdom.

"Patriarch, under the Quinn family, the 7th realm is prospering. When compared to our realms, the 7th realm is the best one to live in for any person among the 9 realms. So, let's not waste your time on small problems. The main reason for this gathering is to decide about the Trident Summit. Please make an announcement about the Trident Summit." The Lin family patriarch spoke in a respectful tone.

But the patriarch Ryon's is not paying attention to the Lin family patriarch. His gaze fixed on his brother, who failed to succeed the throne and became a patriarch of the Frost family, the 33rd branch family of the Quinn family.

Even though Ryon and his brother Ragnar competed for the throne, Ryon always had a brotherly affection for his little brother Ragnar. That is why Ryon supported the Frost family with abundant resources during its foundation.

"Brother Ragnar, what's bothering you? Is something wrong?" Ryon asked in a serious tone while addressing his brother, who sat first in the left-side row.

Ragnar, who is staring at the floor in a daze, hurriedly stood up and bowed sincerely. "Please forgive me, Patriarch. I didn't mean to offend you." Ragnar spoke in a shaking tone while bowing his head.

"It's okey… Tell me what's bothering you." Ryon asked again while picking a spirit fruit from the large plate held by a beautiful servant lady who dressed elegantly.

"Patriarch, a few months ago, the seal placed on my sister's missing daughter surfaced. We found that she is living on the blue planet. I'm worried about her safety. The official wizard association of Blue Planet was not allowing us to enter their planet." Ragnar explained in a sad tone while staring at the floor.

Ryon felt surprised by this revelation. Ryon's mother took away Thea Frost, who is the daughter of his own sister. Several thoughts ran through Ryon's brain as he wondered about his mother, who took Thea with her.

"Brother Ragnar, Taylor is also my sister. I will immediately send a supreme magus to bring back Taylor's daughter from the blue planet. Forget about this matter, it is my responsibility now." Ryon spoke in a promising tone, as he is determined to find out about Thea and his mother, who left the Quinn family residence after his first wife's outcast.

"Thank You... Thank you so much, brother. We won't forget your kindness. Sister Taylor will be very happy." Ragnar spoke with gratitude.

The entire gathering became silent for a long time, until Ryon came out of his daze. After thinking about whom to send to the blue planet, he stood up from the throne.

"The Trident summit will take place after nine lunar circles [months]. I know that it is very late. But the winning family of Trident Summit can have three spots for the 'Divine Sage realm'."

Ryon announced it in a serious tone and left, walking on the flowery path.

"The patriarch is generous. All hail the Lionheart..." Every branch patriarch began shouting excitedly with triumphant laughter. After 10 decades, this is the second time for branch families to have a chance in the Divine Sage realm, where time flow is different and demigods directly rule.

Soon, the news about three spots in the Divine Sage realm spread like wildfire on the seventh realm. As there are 9 months left, every family has an equal chance of preparing for the Trident Summit.

But no one can anticipate the arrival of a new face in the power struggle between these 33 families who is going to change the fate of the Quinn family.
