Apotheosis

Konnor's words registered. Zen, taken aback, asked, "Doesn't the Divine Lair belong to the Sun Crow race? How could the girl have been brought back from the Divine Lair?"

"You might not know this, but Eastern Emperor Taiyi was once a good friend of Emperor Charm. They only became enemies later in life," explained Konnor, shaking his head.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Emperor Charm used to be on good terms. Because they had chosen different paths, their differences ended up destroying their friendship.

"The Seven Mountains Meeting is to be held today. Let's not talk about this," whispered Konnor. "Among the descendants of all the mountains of the Oneness Sky Palace, Elvinia is one of the two beautiful ones."

"Who is the other one?" Zen asked curiously.

"Her name is Dorothy from Origin Mountain. She is the opposite of Elvinia—lively and enthusiastic. She is very cute, as opposed to Elvinia's cold demeanor," Konnor said with a chuckle.

Zen raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't know Konnor thought so highly of Dorothy.

As Elvinia slowly made her way to her seat, the elites of the mountains stood up and saluted to her.

"Your Highness!"

"Greetings!"

Elvinia remained cold and expressionless, as though she hadn't heard them.

Ignoring everyone, she took the seat of honor on the front row.

After Elvinia took her seat, some other people arrived. It was three direct descendants of the Azure Mountain. The three young men curtly greeted their acquaintances and then took their seats.

Other people followed. These were the direct descendants of Ivory Mountain and Golden Mountain.

Once everyone had been seated, a voice suddenly chirped excitedly. "Dorothy! Long time no see!"

Another voice followed suit. "Dorothy, I haven't seen you in two years! Your cultivation base has improved greatly!"

Zen turned around just in time to see Dorothy enter. She was wearing a dainty pink dress, which complemented her perfectly.

She looked both vivacious and intelligent.

She was not as arrogant as Elvinia. She treated her friends the same and was popular in the Oneness Sky Palace, and even the elite warriors were fond of her.

If anyone dared to talk to Elvinia in this chummy way, they would be

or bowed to him. "Marco, what can I do for you?"

"It's none of your business. Get lost," said Marco coldly.

Heads swiveled as everyone turned to watch the drama unfold.

Recently, the Vastness Mountain had proposed an arranged marriage with the Origin Mountain. The latter had declined. This resulted in great tension between the two mountains. While they tried to keep this issue hush, everyone in the room knew about this matter.

Even Elvinia, who had been aloof this whole time, turned her head towards the commotion, her eyes narrowing in curiosity.

"Today is the Seven Mountains Meeting. I don't want to see you here. Get out of here!" Marco said to Zen in a boisterous and haughty tone.

Dorothy rushed to Zen's defense. "Marco, how dare y—"

"What if I don't want to get out of here?" Zen, remaining seated, calmly interrupted Dorothy.

"You are in no position to say no!" A grim smile flickered across Marco's face, making him even more arrogant.

When the others saw his expression, they all knew that the matter wouldn't end up well.

Konnor, Mekhi and others exchanged glances anxiously.

There were more than twenty of them from the Flow Sword Sect. Among them, Konnor, being in the thirteenth stage of the Other Shore Realm, was the strongest. Most of the others were in the eighth or ninth stage of the Other Shore Realm. Mekhi had reached the eleventh stage.

But even Konnor didn't have the guts to offend Marco, the son of the master of the Vastness Mountain.
