Successors of all mankind

They waited early in front of the throne room.

The gates to the throne stand here, guarded by royal knights day and night.

Behind the door lies one of the world's supreme rulers.

The person of the highest status that Yu Le met after arriving in this world.

It's unbelievable that in just a few days, he's met people that most people would never see in their entire lives.

That was too fast; it didn't give Yule a proper chance to prepare.

Looking at the towering golden gate, people were about to enter and pay homage to the Glory King.

But Maris stopped him, keeping his hands tucked into his sleeves, and then bowed to the crowd, especially the Golden Princess, and said:

"Your Highness, and esteemed officials, His Majesty wishes to meet with Lord Constantine privately!"

The Golden Princess frowned and said:

"Is this Father's will, or yours, Maris?"

Maris replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Your Highness, this is His Majesty's will! And he wishes to see Lord Constantine first!"

After giving Maris a deep look.

The Golden Princess stepped back to make way.

Although this eunuch is despicable, he probably wouldn't dare to play any tricks on this.

As a result, people's attention once again fell on Yu Le.

This is about an unknown nobody who has shaken the interests of countless powerful figures.

Yu Le took a deep breath and prepared to step forward.

It has been subjected to all sorts of strange looks, scrutiny, and suspicion.

Accompanied by the man in purple robes, Yu Le entered the throne room.

It's very big and very long here.

It was so large that he couldn't see the dome, and so long that he couldn't see the throne.

It was at this moment that the man in purple robes suddenly said to Yu Le:

"My lord, you are not alone. Though Rome is plunged into a long night, Rome endures forever!"

Yu Le suddenly looked at Maris.

The other person did not avoid his gaze. Instead, he turned slightly to the side and pulled his sleeve up an inch.

Deep purple, the color of Rome.

Rome is plunged into a long night, but Rome may still see the dawn.

Let's consider Chapter 12 as a deal.

Oh, I never knew that was the case!

Justinian's preparations were not that simple!

But what instructions did he leave behind, and what is my identity in Maris's eyes?

Survivor of Byzantium, or successor to Justinian?

Yu Le is still not quite clear about the secrets involved.

But at least, he understood why Maris was acting so strangely and coincidentally.

But that makes it quite interesting.

Even after the empire was destroyed, remnants of its power still existed within the dynasties of the golden bloodline.

Politics is truly a complex thing...

Yu Le felt like rubbing her temples; she was truly exhausted.

He just couldn't show this 'weakness'.

He turned his gaze away expressionlessly.

There was no reply, no response.

They simply followed the man in purple robes forward in silence.

Finally, the throne appeared before Yu Le's eyes, with huge pipes hanging from the mural behind it.

The connection is made to the figure standing before that throne.

Dry, charred, and dying.

Before he could even see the whole picture, the entirety of the Glory King was revealed to Yu Le.

"Sir, you do not need to bow."

After leaving these words, Maris quickly walked to the throne and said to King Glory:

"Your Majesty, Lord Constantine has arrived!"

At this moment, Yu Le walked down to the throne and looked up to meet the gaze of the withered figure on the throne.

Is this the ruler of this country?

Contrary to what Yu Le imagined, his image was hardly worthy of the title of king.

Even in this situation, Yu Le couldn't help but think.

Is this the King of Glory, the King of Ivory, or perhaps the King of Cinder? An Emperor?

The wise king, his bloodline stagnant and burning, sat atop his throne...

In short, you've added way too many overlapping elements!

When people are under immense pressure and tension, they often think about trivial things to relieve their emotions.

Closing her eyes and suppressing all her chaotic emotions, Yule took the initiative to speak to King Rongguang:

"Your Majesty, do you wish to see me?"

King Rongguang also lowered his head and gazed at the music before him.

He gazed at it for a very long time, so long that one wondered if he had already burned out on the throne.

Finally, the King of Glory stopped scrutinizing him and finally spoke:

"Welcome, sir."

"You flatter me, Your Majesty."

Yu Le gave a brief response, and Maris also said at the opportune moment:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to take my leave."

"No, no need, Maris, it's not necessary."

King Rongguang stopped the other party, and then looked at Yule and said:

“I already know about what happened between you and my daughter. The last time she was so insistent on something was when she asked me to allow her to leave the palace at any time to go to the theater.”

“I agreed because I thought it might bring her closer to her subjects and teach them tolerance and restraint. But I failed.”

King Glory calmly recounted the princess's childhood and his attempts to address it.

“My lord, as the years go by, I find it increasingly difficult to leave this prison, and I am unable to give this child the right education. She is, in fact, trapped by her own bloodline, just like me.”

“Because of my incompetence, every attempt I made to correct her failed.”

“My reign could end at any time, but I have never been able to leave my subjects a competent ruler.”

“They are already in hell, I can’t let hell become even deeper.”

What's the meaning?

Yu Le raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at the figure on the throne.

The other party made a move that exceeded Yu Le's expectations.

He braced himself against the armrest of the throne and slowly rose to his feet.

That was definitely not a normal getting up.

Every inch of his movement was accompanied by a slight tremor in the pipeline, and the previously stable indicator lights began to flicker erratically.

Yu Le could even feel the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly, and the palace itself was experiencing the terrifying aftershocks of this force.

This exhausted his strength and almost drained his spirit.

But he still got up, bowed to Yu Le, and said:

"Now that you've appeared, you might change all of this."

"My lord, I am now begging you, as a father, to grant my daughter's request."

"At the same time, as a king, I hope you can give this kingdom a chance."

"In return, I will guarantee your safety and allow you to travel to any part of the capital in your free time. Besides that, tell me what you want, and you will get it as long as it's possible!"

Having no reason to refuse gave me a great deal of convenience.

But it's too easy!

And why do you trust me so much?

Do you know something? Or are you really out of options and are risking everything for a single possibility?

While Yu Le was still pondering, King Rongguang, unable to hold on any longer, slumped back onto his throne.

He was using his last remaining life force to express his longing through sutra and music.

It's hard to imagine that such a king, who could fall at any moment, could be the 'god' described by Pandora.

However, this is because of the small amount of energy leaking out of the pipes connected to his actions.

This point is repeatedly emphasized to Yule as a truth.

The royal palace trembled, and the mountains shook.

Even the pipes themselves were still intact, with only a brief leak...

"Of course, sir, I respect your personal wishes. You are free to leave at any time. You don't need to worry about my daughter; I will stop her myself."

"If you still refuse my request, then let's consider this a deal. A deal where you can back out at any time!"

After a brief silence, Yu Le asked:

"If I agree, Your Majesty, what do you need me to do?"

"No, nothing at all. She just wants you to be by her side, that's all."

Yule is becoming increasingly silent, and the returns are completely disproportionate to the efforts.

This was too generous, so much so that Yu Le dared not accept it.

But can you really refuse?

After much deliberation, Yule still decided to open the app.

“Your Majesty, your promises are too generous, yet you ask me to give too little. This makes me uneasy.”

As Yu Le said this, he was simultaneously waiting for Pandora's reaction.

He didn't know what he wanted to hear: "Agree to him" or "Run!"

But Pandora said nothing. It remained silent once more.

Yule is unsure whether this silence means "I agree" or "I am thinking".

But at least it didn't sound an alarm...

"It's normal to have doubts, sir, but this is nothing to be ashamed of. There's no time left, and there's no other way."

Rongguang Dynasty's Yule raised his hand, and his gorgeous robes slipped off his withered arm, revealing skin that was almost completely carbonized underneath.

In some places, the outline of the bones can already be seen.
