Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 865 Archmage Shane: "King Feather, you must consider the bigger picture!" (3K votes requested~)

That evening, because Lisa was filled with anticipation, she was unusually proactive and enthusiastic.

Coupled with the legendary powerhouse's abnormal stamina and energy, the two fought for an entire night, with the battleground covering the entire villa, without a moment to catch their breath.

The next morning, Lisa left the villa looking radiant and flew toward the Temple of Immortality.

After resting for a while, Gao Yang got up and walked to the center of the training ground to continue his daily practice.

Over such a long period of time, cultivation has become completely integrated into his life, as natural as breathing, something he does every day.

Gao Yang knew perfectly well that talent could only determine how fast or slow one progressed on the path of cultivation, but if one wanted to go far enough, talent was not the most important factor.

Persistent practice and unwavering will are essential factors for reaching the summit.

Time flew by, and the next morning, Gao Yang and Lisa sat on the broad back of the dragon in Audreyville, while Milofina lay in her mobile cat bed, the cat bed sticking out suction cups and firmly adhering to the back of the ice chair.

With a deep dragon roar, Audreyville flapped its wings and its massive body soared into the sky, hurtling towards the City of Towers.

Thanks to Audreyville's incredible speed, Gao Yang and his group arrived at the City of Towers, Shain, in just four days.

Milofina stood atop a soaring dragon horn in Audreyville, gazing at the towering buildings that blotted out the sky at the edge of her vision. After a moment, she let out an excited shout.

"Meow~ I have never seen such a magnificent city before. It's like it's built in the clouds."

Seeing Milofina's naive and unworldly demeanor, Gao Yang and Lisa exchanged a glance and both smiled.

Audreyville's arrival naturally attracted the attention of the guards, Shane.

However, compared to their initial vigilance upon arriving here, the guards of Shain now had heard of this terrifying two-headed ice dragon.

They knew that this two-headed ice dragon came from the Immortal Wasteland and was the mount of the Feather King.

Therefore, instead of stopping Audreyville, they quickly dispatched a team of guards to clear a path for him.

At the same time, a guard captain stepped onto a flight platform, arrived in front of the dragon's back, bowed slightly to Gao Yang and Lisa, who were seated on its back, and then said:
"Immortal Feather King, Immortal Bishop, Shain sincerely thanks you for coming. Your lodgings have been prepared. Please follow me."

Gao Yang gently tapped the armrest of the ice chair, and Audreyville immediately slowed down, flying towards Shain under the guidance of the guards.

When Gao Yang and his group arrived at the top of a building with at least a thousand floors, the guard captain jumped off the flying platform, approached Gao Yang, and respectfully said:
"Lord Feather King, the Archmage is eagerly anticipating another meeting with you. When would be a convenient time for you?"

Gao Yang lowered his gaze to the guard in front of him and said with a smile, "I also look forward to meeting Your Excellency the Archmage again. I will visit Your Excellency the Archmage this afternoon."

Having received the answer he wanted, the guard did not linger, maintaining a respectful demeanor before quickly taking his leave.

Lisa reached out and linked her arm with Gao Yang's, remaining silent.

Gao Yang patted her arm, looking relaxed: "It's alright."

The tallest building in Shain is called the Azure Pearl, and at this moment, the two are sitting facing each other at the top of this pearl.

"King Yu, it's been years since we last met. I never expected that when we meet again, you would have already advanced to the Legendary level and come a long way in the Legendary realm."

Archmage Shain poured Gao Yang a cup of fruit tea, her tone tinged with emotion and her eyes slightly complicated.

Although he had thought that Gao Yang would inevitably rise to prominence when Gao Yang was still a superhuman, the speed at which Gao Yang rose to prominence was truly terrifying.

In just a few years, it not only broke through the legend, but also demonstrated extremely strong dominance in the field of legend.

Whether it was the battle five years ago when the other side appeared or the storm that swept through Wagoli recently, both were momentous events that shook the nation.

Not to mention, outside of the Eberron world, the things they have done are renowned throughout the multiverse.

"Your Excellency is too kind; I am merely compelled by circumstances."

Gao Yang drank the fruit tea, his smile peaceful and neither humble nor arrogant.

Compared to the unfathomable depths that Gao Yang had witnessed when he first met this legendary mage, he could now sense the terrifying magical power emanating from him, as vast and boundless as an abyss.

It is very strong, but not insurmountable.

This is the charm of constantly climbing and becoming stronger.

"Speaking of which, compared to his performance on the continent of Kovale, I have higher hopes for the Feather King's performance at the Gladiator's Summit," said Archmage Shane, putting down her teacup with a smile.

"Oh? Your Excellency the Archmage also bought a ticket?"

Gao Yang became somewhat interested. As far as he knew, the mage Shain in front of him was not a player from the cross-network.

As for the exposure of his origins, Gao Yang no longer needs to hide them. He has enough confidence to face all kinds of challenges.

“I have a friend who happens to be a player on the online game platform, and through his connections, I got two free viewing tickets,” Magister Shain explained.

Gao Yang shook his head with some regret and said, "That's a bit of a pity. I was thinking that if Your Excellency the Archmage had also participated in the Gladiator's Summit, I might have been able to spar with you in the subsequent battles." "Sparring is unnecessary. Compared to fighting, I prefer to drink tea and chat like this."

Sahin's eyes twitched involuntarily a few times. With nothing else to do, he decided to spar with a legendary melee fighter.

These seasoned legends, specializing in physique and weaponry, only need to expend a little stamina and battle aura to charge at the enemy and smash their heads with their weapons.

But when a mage like him fights, it's different. All sorts of magical items, scrolls, and trigger spells are quickly activated. It can be said that every attack and every defense is a burning of magic crystals.

After sparring with Gao Yang, his net worth might shrink by several percentage points, and he doesn't know how many experiments he would have to stop to save those percentage points.

"Then, did Your Excellency the Archmage invite me here just for tea?" Gao Yang asked the Archmage opposite him with a half-smile.

Archmage Shain paused, pondered for a few moments, and then said, "The reason I invited King Yu here is actually because there is something I want to discuss with you."

Gao Yang suddenly became alert, and then heard Archmage Shane continue, "At this Eberron Supreme Conference, Kovale hopes that the Immortal Wasteland will voluntarily give up its fixed seat."

In exchange, the Immortal Wasteland will definitely have a spot at the next Eberron High Council, and it will be the sixth-ranked spot.

After speaking, Archmage Shain poured tea for Gao Yang while observing his attitude.

Gao Yang gently stroked the inside of the cup with his fingertips, his eyes lowered, his voice revealing no emotion: "Reason."

"The Kovale internal meeting established the rotation of qualifications and seats a century ago. If the Immortal Wasteland intervenes this time, it will break this agreement and cause dissatisfaction among other forces."

Magister Shain did not hide anything; instead, she chose to tell the truth.

"So, this is the last meeting in a century, and the next meeting will mark the beginning of a new cycle, right?"

“Your Majesty can understand it this way; for Kovale, this is the best choice,” Magister Shain said again.

His voice remained unchanged, but Gao Yang detected a sense of superiority in it, as if he and others of equal status were not consulting with him, but rather issuing a notification.

Gao Yang's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Is it the best choice for Kovale, or the best choice for you?"

Archmage Shane shook her head and said slowly, "There is no difference between the two, is there?"
The Immortal Wasteland is still young, and so are you, Feather King. Your future holds infinite possibilities. For you and the Immortal Wasteland, ten years is but a blink of an eye.

Making a concession now in exchange for peaceful development for the next hundred or thousand years is already the best choice.

Even if the Feather King is unwilling to back down, he must consider the overall situation in Kovale. Are we going to let the powers of the other three continents laugh at us?

"Hehehe~"

Gao Yang raised his head and stared straight at Archmage Shain, his tone chilling: "Considering the overall situation? I'm afraid the overall situation you're talking about doesn't include the Immortal Wasteland or me."

"Your Excellency Archmage, since you insist on considering the bigger picture, why don't you have Shane voluntarily relinquish a seat? That way, I'll be satisfied, everyone else will be satisfied, the continent of Kovale will remain stable, and we won't be a laughingstock. What do you say?"

Archmage Shane shook her head slightly and said, "The fixed seats cannot be changed; that's the rule."

"Whose rules?"

"The rules of the Kovale Continent."

Gao Yang scoffed at Magister Shan's reply: "Heh~"

"Your Excellency, do not act impulsively. You are still young, and this is indeed your best choice. Otherwise..."

Magister Shanin did not finish her sentence, but the chilling killing intent and threat in her words were already evident.

"Or what? Kill me? Destroy the Immortal Wasteland?"

Gao Yang leaned back in his wide chair, raised his head slightly, and looked at the Archmage Shane across from him with disdain: "You can try!"

Archmage Shane frowned slightly, a surge of anger rising within her. "Your Majesty, if you refuse, then the Immortal Wasteland will face the common enemy of everyone at this Kovale internal meeting."

Faced with the combined forces of these ten major powers, you not only have no chance of victory, but you might even perish as a result.

"Oh? Really? Then I'm really looking forward to this meeting."

Gao Yang finished his fruit tea, stood up, and looked down at the Archmage Shani opposite him, coldly saying:

"What is mine will be mine, and no one can take it away. What is not meant for someone else will not fall into someone else's hands, because I will not allow it."

I understand that you want to maintain the existing order and interests, but you shouldn't make me a victim of this decision.

Before the meeting begins, you all have the opportunity to change your choices, but once the meeting starts, I will show you the wrath of the Immortal Waste.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yang turned and left, leaving behind only the somber-faced Archmage Shani sitting in her chair.
