Chapter 179.1: First Meeting with the God Consort, Gift of the Cosmos Possessed by a Commoner (1)

Edaline held Rayne's hand and walked into the dimensional rift happily with her brother.

Edaline, who was always carrying out missions all year round in the mortal world, was naturally not unfamiliar with the place they were going to next.

The High Elves who lived in the skies used the floating continents made from the power of the stars as their home.

They lived and worked in peace on these floating continents, establishing their countries called...

The Heavenly Kingdoms.

The supreme Heavenly Kingdom Dawn was one of the most famous cities.

Although there was a huge difference in the customs of the various Heavenly Kingdoms, at the very least, they were united in faith.

In this race that shared a pious belief in the cosmos…

Right now, Dawn, who possessed the Star Elf, naturally became the leader of the alliance of the Heavenly Kingdoms.

"Every thousand years, a beautiful Star Elf will descend to the mortal world from the outer world. She will choose the strongest warriors in the mortal world and offer them a great weapon from the cosmos to help the mortal world fight against the ancient malice that came with the comet…"

Edaline recited what she had learned in her previous school books. "At that time, the entire High Elves race will be resolutely united under the God King and fight together. However, it's truly awkward. It's been almost ten years since the arrival of the Star Elves, but these High Elves are still in a mess."

Previously, when she accompanied Rayne to the Desolate Tundra, Edaline took the time to make a trip to Heavenly Kingdom Caldera to stop the invasion of the Nether Realm.

At that time, the Heavenly Kingdom was already controlled by heretics. The entire country was about to become bait to summon the projection of the evil god and was on the brink of death…

Even so, the surrounding High Elf countries watched coldly from the sidelines. In fact, they were even waiting to loot the inheritance.

Was that bonding together?

Was that unity?

If they had to pinpoint the person at fault for the split of the hearts of the High Elves, the muddle-headed God King would definitely be the first to be dragged out to be criticized.

He lacked intelligence and advocated martial strength, but he was not particularly good at fighting.

His talents were barely enough to govern his own territory. If he wanted to use his authority as the alliance leader to manage the entire alliance of the Heavenly Kingdoms, all the elves in the Heavenly Kingdoms would have to curse at him.

Apart from maxing out on building skill points and constructing Dawn as the most beautiful city in all the Heavenly Kingdoms… he did not seem to have any other specialties.

Even so, in the entire Heavenly Kingdom alliance, no one would choose to challenge his status.

It was true that he was an extremely terrible alliance leader.

However, he was also a leader that everyone acknowledged.

It was all because of his wife.

That elf from the cosmos was also a recognized true god in the hearts of the High Elves.

This was an unwavering authority possessed by the God King in the society of the High Elves.

He was a warrior chosen by the Star Elf and was destined to be the king of the Heavenly Kingdoms.

"Rayne, I don't understand."

Traveling through the dimensional rift, Edaline asked Rayne casually.

Edaline asked, "The Star Elves can smell the scent of heroes, isn't it? Why would the Star Elf of this generation choose such a piece of trash? Has her sense of smell gone haywire?"

"Actually, there's no need to be too harsh on that God King."

Rayne said indifferently, "Although the God King is very incompetent, he's already the most outstanding ruler in the current generation of the Heavenly Kingdoms. Things will only get worse if it was any other ruler marrying the Star Elves."

Edaline found it unbelievable. "For real? Aren't those High Elves way too useless?"

"For real..."

Rayne said meaningfully, "The enemies the High Elves face… are smarter than they imagine."

At that moment, a beam of light appeared in front of the dark narrow tunnel.

It was their stop.

…

After stepping out of the dimensional rift, Rayne arrived at the resplendent city of brilliant gold.

Unlike the previous time when he smuggled in in a low profile manner, Rayne represented the Empress of Haines this time round and brought the strongest demigod in the mortal world to visit Heavenly Kingdom Dawn openly.

Naturally, Dawn had long received the news of the prince's visit.

Therefore, when Rayne and Edaline tore through space and teleported to the agreed location…

Immediately, grand ceremonial music sounded around them and golden spell flames danced in the sky.

A shining golden elven honor guard raised the flags of Haines and Dawn to welcome the prince's arrival.

Rayne lamented when he saw that.

See, this was the difference.

When Rayne visited Dawn, he was greeted by ceremonial music, an honor guard and enthusiastic elven citizens.

However, when Rayne visited Leta, what awaited him was the arrest of the law enforcement squad and thugs who wanted to tear him into pieces at any moment.

Haines was still the strongest Empire in the mortal world after all.

Not every country in the mortal world was as ready to fight as Leta and possessed a deep hatred towards Haines.

Most of the countries in the mortal world had a good attitude towards Haines, be it out of fear or because they had truly received favors.

In this case, Dawn was part of the latter; a country that preferred bootlicking.

It was naturally a great honor for Dawn to have the Prince of Haines visit them personally.

In fact, for the people of Dawn, this was an even greater honor than when the Moonlight Queen came to Dawn two days ago!

An imposing honor guard welcomed Rayne along the way. At the end of the line, the representative sent by Dawn to welcome Rayne was a great military commander of the country.

When he saw the representative walk over warmly, Rayne turned his head and said softly to Edaline,

"Little Eda, do you know what my biggest headache is every time I come to Dawn?"

Edaline: "Mhmm?"

Rayne: "It's an overly enthusiastic tour guide."

The representative of Dawn first bowed respectfully to Rayne before smiling. "Welcome, Prince Rayne. His Majesty has already received the news and will personally…"

However, before the representative could finish speaking, Rayne's expression suddenly changed and he fell to the ground in pain.

Rayne's face was pale. "… The soldiers of Dawn are majestic and mighty. The city is resplendent and I'm truly stunned… However, Your Excellency, I'm… not feeling well right now."

The representative was shocked and hurriedly helped the noble Prince of Haines up.

"Quick, someone come quickly!"

…

…

Palace of Dawn.

Right now was the time of the God King's council. The majestic king of the Heavenly Kingdom sat lazily on his throne and listened to the officials of two factions arguing endlessly over trivial matters. The God King yawned and felt sleepy, unable to open his eyes.

He said helplessly, "The Nether Realm invasion of Caldera has spread to the surrounding Heavenly Kingdoms? Why is there a need to quarrel over such a small matter? Wouldn't it be fine if I led the expedition personally to suppress those fiends?"

An official said helplessly, "However, Your Majesty, the nobles of the affected Heavenly Kingdoms are unwilling to accept the support of Dawn. It's probably because of the fact that you penetrated Heavenly Kingdom Evelyn previously that they have some unnecessary fear towards your strength…"

"How can I be blamed for what happened to Evelyn? They did not use the power of the cosmos properly and were corrupted by Far Silence. I had no choice but to endure the pain and eliminate them along with the corruption."

The officials sounded exasperated. "Your Majesty, we naturally knew that you had no choice in that matter. However... the other kings won't listen to this logic."

The God King became even more impatient. "Fufu... they really don't know what's good for them. I'm the God King of the Heavenly Kingdom. I definitely won't let the Nether Realm corruption spread in my territory. It was my mistake to trust Caldera excessively. I won't make the same mistake again. I'll personally lead the expedition later. If they dare to stop me, I'll suppress them together with the fiends!"

When the officials heard that, they turned pale with fright. "Absolutely not, Your Majesty! Since ancient times, there has been a rule in the Star Attendant Court that the power of Starburst exists to fight the Evil Star, Far Silence, and protect the mortal world… It can't be used to fight among the elves!"
