That day, Luna's pig-like screams echoed throughout the Duke's mansion.

At first, the guards reacted quickly and rushed into the Duke's mansion with murderous intent, but were driven out by a loud shout from Elena.

After that, every time Luna shouted, their faces twitched as if it hurt more than if the blows were hitting themselves.

The anxious female soldier rushed to find outside help and finally sent Saintess Jane to the Duke's mansion, ending this farce.

"You, Luna, are thinking about the future of the Northern Territory. Is it really necessary to get so angry?"

Emerald green magic flowed from Jenny's fingertips, quickly healing Luna's injury on her buttocks. This minor injury was nothing to Luna, but it didn't stop her from snuggling into Jenny's arms and crying.

"She's gotten too big for her britches and is starting to act like she's doing me a favor."

Alene re-fastened her belt and snorted coldly. It wasn't that she couldn't make sacrifices; the Northern Territory's current foundation was built by her and the Duke through hard work.

During that period, she and the Duke took turns governing and leading the army, one inside and one outside, keeping them extremely busy, but she never complained of hardship or fatigue.

She had also pondered the ability Luna mentioned for a long time, but had never had the opportunity to awaken it.

It wasn't Eleanor Versailles; it was someone who, since the beginning of her previous life's conquests, had never been seriously injured, no matter how perilous the environment.

"I am the Duke's appointed head of civil service and his personal maid. I shouldn't be too involved in military affairs. But I am also the Duchess of the Northern Territory, and for the future of the Northern Army, I will not reject any plan that can reduce the number of soldiers killed."

Alene straightened her clothes, glared at Luna, and Luna shrank back into Jenny's arms in fright.

"But with the Duke absent, if I cannot control the situation, I fear the enemy will take advantage of the situation again."

Despite being pregnant and raising her child, Elena has all the affairs of the Northern Territory under her control. Many reports from the governing departments, tax department, and secretariat are submitted directly to Elena.

"Since you've said that, then I'll say something too." Jenny patted Luna's head and said firmly, "We can't put all the blame on His Excellency the Duke, who hasn't returned yet."

"Elena, I know you miss him, and so do I. I can't sleep at night thinking about him... I don't know why you're so sure he'll be back soon, but my heart is burdened with a heavy unease as the days go by."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent, with only breathing remaining.

Elena suddenly realized what was going on; she finally understood the purpose behind what Jenny and Luna had done.

They had prepared for the worst; even if the Duke could not return, they would still strive to achieve their great ideal, even at the cost of everything.

The two sides were not on the same level at all, because Elena could know the Duke's specific movements in real time, and occasionally chat with the Duke about recent events.

Jenny and Luna, however, knew nothing about this...

Alini closed her eyes and said softly, "Let's call Chuguang back. There are many things we need to talk about."

……

At the Temple of the Vast Valley, the First Light, who had been thinking about how to make Oswald's physical body stronger, bigger, and more Waaagh, and was trying to dismantle the hunger power that Oswald had devoured, was suddenly summoned to the Ice City by Elene.

She thought it was about Annie being taken away or the reappearance of the power of death, but it turned out to be about the system.

"Didn't you tell them before?"

After hearing the whole story, Chu Guang crunched a gem into pieces, rested his hands on the conference table, and asked in silence.

Alene coughed lightly. "I thought I couldn't say, after all, there are many things..."

"There's nothing I can't say, but there are rules. You're basically a half-host, so you can't neglect the necessary confidentiality."

"But that was the old rule. Now, not only the system, but the entire universe is in chaos. If you don't explain it to them clearly, aren't you just making them worry for nothing?"

The long-absent Little Rot, the projection of the God of Corruption, rocked back and forth in his chair and laughed, "The god you are facing has already investigated the situation of the transmigrators thoroughly. She doesn't care about the little bit of information you have."

"Speaking of which, it seems the transmigrator's home planet wasn't saved, right? Where is he fighting now?"

Alene sighed, "We've already returned to the solar system, and even though we've eliminated the culprits, the civil war among the transmigrators is only intensifying."

Xiao Fu smiled and said, "It's normal. The greatness of living beings is closely related to their morbidity. Sometimes we have to admit that most living beings will only blindly follow others, and only great men and madmen decide the future of the world."

"Don't change the subject." Chu Guang kicked Xiao Fu under the conference table, then looked at Elinie again. "Tell them everything you know. In the face of this crisis, we can't afford to have disagreements over these issues."

Elena nodded and told Jenny and Luna everything she knew, including about the system and time travel, leaving the two of them stunned.

Luna was stunned. She said that her brother had been gone for so long, and Eileen hadn't shed a single tear. It seemed that the two of them could whisper secrets to each other every day!

"So this is how the universe works... No wonder ancient texts from different races record the Land of the End; it turns out they really exist."

Having had her worldview refreshed, Jenny quickly gained new insights. However, what she regretted most was that while Eleanor knew about the Duke's past life, she knew nothing about the Duke's past.

"Your lack of knowledge about the past can actually bring him a different kind of happiness," Elena said earnestly, holding Jenny's hand.

He wasn't born a towering figure; he simply carried a heart riddled with wounds, striving to make his own and others' lives better.

He also needs someone like Jenny, who shares his ideals and even idolizes him, to be by his side.

Jenny shook her head with a wry smile, refusing the consolation. "We're both wives, but I always feel I can't compare to you."

"Really? My husband wouldn't touch my legs all night. I only realized after having children that touching soft human skin can relieve stress..."

Staring at Jenny's increasingly flushed face, Elena revealed a melancholy expression. Both had slender figures, some with legs that were endearing, while others could only kick out a whistling sound.

"Hey, I'm really busy. Can't we get down to business? There are kids here."

Luna, who was listening with great interest, frowned when she saw Chuguang pointing at her hand. What do you mean, "little kid"? I'm a woman in my twenties, already a mother of two.

Come on, let's talk about more adult topics so I can learn something.

"Well, actually we're thinking of awakening Elene's power as soon as possible, but the method might be a bit radical."

Even though she was exposing the Duke's little quirk, Jenny's face was burning red. She quickly changed the subject and asked Chuguang for his opinion.

"The power that Elene controls should represent matter itself. Severe injury and death are an opportunity for awakening, but they do not apply to each of you."

As a replica of a god, Chu Guang's understanding of the power system is far more thorough than that of living beings.

"Annie's death is the extinguishing of a flame, and Jenny's serious injury is a blessing in disguise, expanding the boundaries of her power flow. The source of her power lies in the flow. As for Luna, I can't see clearly yet. Perhaps your opportunity is buried in the past."

"And you, Eleanor, you as matter are difficult to destroy, just as difficult to transform, like the earth that sustains life. It may sound abstract, but you, like Oswald, have bound your physical body. Try to liberate your soul; it should lead you to new answers."
