The Golden Throne

Liu Feng started coughing. He looked around him. After a few deep breaths, he regained some energy. 

"I am back. Guess that some higher power in this world still wants me alive. But give me some mana fast! I need to retrieve something from the spatial stone, and I am useless without at least some amount of mana." Liu Feng said.

Liu Feng felt a stream of cool air flow into him, and he directed that into the spatial ring. Moments later, a mana crystal appeared in his hands. He poured mana into that as well, and the crystal rose up and flew to the sky.

A minute later, the whole sky was lit up with fireworks, and only one word was written on the sky, which was made even cleared by the fact that the sky was still dark.

Help!

For a mile around Liu Feng, the word Help could be seen. Liu Feng was absolutely sure that someone would be able to see this, and he had trust in the superhuman physical senses of the dragons.

Liu Feng continued to gobble in mana from his surroundings greedily.

"Liu Feng? How are you alive?" another voice crept up into Liu Feng's mind.

"Late for the party, eh Primitus?" Avian commented.

"This is a story for another time, respected spirits. Right now, I need as much as mana as I can get so that my body can actually move. Mana has healing powers that I am desperately in need of right now." Liu Feng said weakly.

As he said this, three other streams of mana flew into Liu Feng, and his pale complexion became rosy gold in a matter of seconds. It was as if he had woken up from a deep sleep, and it was just that his body refused to move, even though it was filled with power.

He got up slowly, and looked around once more. All he could see was a plain field. There were no more buildings near him, not even near the place that he had gone to when he fought with the demon captains. It seemed that the buildings he had seen when he had descended down to the earth was that of the outskirts of the city.

"I feel alive. It is so good to be alive!" Liu Feng shouted out as he took another deep breath of air. Forget the spirits, who were as shocked as one could be, even Liu Feng was finding it a little hard to believe. He never thought that Zeus would be able to bring him back to life and turn back time specifically to make sure that his body remained the same.

"I thought that my body would become a Frankenstein sort of thing after the corrupted mana was used." Liu Feng thought to himself. He slowly walked towards where he remembered the army was supposed to be.

"They will have to wait for us, won't they?" Liu Feng thought to himself.

"Wait a minute! If the news that I betrayed my father reaches the ears of the soldiers, then I am completely screwed. I need to rush over there." Liu Feng's face changed as he tried to run, but to no avail. His legs gave away immediately, and he tumbled onto the ground.

As Liu Feng winced in pain, he also looked up to see a few black dots approaching him at a terrifying speed.

"How is this possible? Not even I could survive the brunt force of that attack. You were lying right next to the crystal. Don't tell me! Did you betray us? Did you let that demon give you a power that should not belong to this world?" Bai Lu asked defensively. He looked around, as if someone was going to attack him at any time.

"Do not worry. Even I do not know what happened. All that I can possibly say from what has happened is that someone powerful wants me alive, and that is possibly the only reason that I am here standing, I mean, lying here in front of you." Liu Feng said.

"You are actually alive. Thank God." Arad appeared next to Liu Feng.

"What happened? How long has it been since I was gone?" Liu Feng asked.

"The blast happened a few minutes ago. Almost immediately after that wave of mana swept through us, that huge display in the air attracted us here. Who would have thought that we would witness such an impossibility to happen?" Arad said.

"Then that means that you did not tell anyone anything?" Liu Feng asked.

"Of course. We all had bigger issues to think of rather than telling all those soldiers why their king and their prince was dead. " Arad said.

"My father. Is he actually dead? He was hurled a long way. Is there any chance that he would have survived that? The least that I could do is ask him. Why would he do such a thing?" Liu Feng said with a down cast tone.

"He was one of those traitors who would rather live than fight with honor. Peter here made sure that he was dead. I am sorry, Liu Feng, but sometimes, you just have to accept the truth. Your father wasn't the man that you thought he was." Long Che said as he sighed.

"At the least, can everyone please stay quiet on what he did? The whole kingdom would fall into unrest if they knew that the war that they fought and the king that they fought for were on opposite sides. They would not allow a king who sided with the demons to be a king any longer. I am probably the only one who can become the next king seamlessly, and that is what I should do next." Liu Feng said.

"So then I am looking at the next king of Aegon? The new kingdom of Fire?" Long Che chuckled.

"It is not the kingdom of Fire. This will be the new kingdom of miracles. The train? The nuclear weapon? All of that was just twentieth century stuff. I have yet to pull the big guns." Liu Feng grinned with his mouth wide open.
