So I'm a sheep.

The emperor looked somewhat hesitant: "I can teach you other magic, fire magic, earth magic, wind magic... I guarantee they'll all be very interesting."

"No, I want to learn the magic of the stars!"

Why are you so obsessed with it?

“Because it is the strongest!” the prince said matter-of-factly.

"..."

"I'm sorry, my child, you can't learn that magic."

"Why!?"

The emperor did not answer the question; he quickly made an excuse to leave.

Much later, the prince learned why his father hadn't spoken then: the requirements for aptitude in Starry Sky Magic were incredibly high, and no one except the emperor could even begin to learn it.

Although he was greatly disappointed, the Third Prince did not press the matter too hard.

As time passed, the great emperor prepared to leave this world.

Before leaving, he had some words to say to the child who caused him the most trouble.

"Third brother, you must do your best to assist your eldest brother in the future."

"Father, why didn't you choose me?"

The Third Prince was absolutely dissatisfied with his mediocre elder brother.

"Your personality is the least suitable."

"..."

It's not a lack of ability, but rather a mismatch in personality.

That reason is barely acceptable.

'Fine, for Father's sake, I won't argue with him.'

Just as he was preparing to accept reality, the emperor spoke mysteriously once again: "Third brother, just focus on assisting your eldest brother for a few years, and you'll be rewarded."

"What reward?"

"The key to unlocking the star's treasure."

"what?"

The prince was both amazed by this treasure he had never heard of before and felt somewhat helpless.

'The Treasure of the Stars,' that sounds like something for little kids.

'Although in Father's eyes we are all children who never grow up, this is too much...'

"Father, what exactly is the treasure of the stars?"

"Haha, I won't tell you now, but get ready for a surprise in the future."

What could be the surprise...?

The third prince was preoccupied with the surprises the emperor had left him every day. Finally, one day after the emperor had truly left this world, he couldn't help but seek out his eldest brother, who was about to succeed to the throne.

"Big brother, you must know! Tell me quickly, what's hidden in the treasure that Father left me?"

"..."

Thinking of the emperor's parting words, the eldest prince hesitated.

"Father specifically instructed that the real treasure should only be given to the third prince if he doesn't cause any trouble; otherwise, he should be given a fake treasure vault."

He's asking me what the treasure is now, what should I say?

"Big brother, you really knew!"

"Please, I'm really curious, just tell me in advance."

'As far as I can remember, this was the first time the third brother had spoken to me in such a pleading tone.'

The eldest prince, who always cherished his younger siblings, finally told the truth after being repeatedly pleaded with the third prince.

"The treasure is the magic of the stars, the legacy of my father."

"What, the magic of stars?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Third Prince realized that it was inappropriate.

"Ahem, brother, well, isn't star magic supposed to have very high aptitude requirements? How come..."

"Father has really worried himself sick over you."

"In order to teach you star magic, even though you don't have the aptitude, he even gave up part of his own cultivation."

"I'm collecting rare artifacts from all over the world that can carry the power of the stars, and I'm deliberately keeping this a secret from you so you won't overthink it."

The eldest prince kept rambling on and on, unaware that his younger brother's face had turned extremely gloomy.

In his eyes, the emperor's actions were all expressions of great love for his children, but in the eyes of the proud and arrogant third prince...

This is charity, and it is also contempt.

Volume 1: Chapter 298 Inheritance

Insufficient qualifications?

Haha, yeah, I'm just not qualified enough, which caused that person so much trouble...

I don't even have the right to learn star magic properly; I can only rely on treasures and the great emperor's self-destructive cultivation.

'Father, you keep saying I have the highest talent of all.'

'But...but deep down you've always looked down on me, haven't you?'

'What personality type is most incompatible... that's all a lie, a complete lie!'

The treasure you painstakingly prepared for me?

I will keep the key safe, but I will never touch it!

Do you want me to wholeheartedly assist my elder brother?

No way! I'm going to rebel and become emperor!

Just you wait, you arrogant emperor, you just wait.

One day, I will use my own strength to surpass the world.

And then...

Then I'll come to you, proudly saying—look, I can do it too!

'See? I'm your best son, you don't need to worry about me at all.'

Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. Resting his head on Olina's lap, Clark fell completely silent.

"..."

He stuck out his long tongue and licked away the Emperor of Arcane's tears; they were salty and a little bitter.

but,

But!

This taste is far superior to the sweetness that comes from the soul digesting in the stomach.

"In the very end, they still couldn't bring themselves to harm me."

"Darling, it seems you've truly been completely captivated by me."

Hehehehe, hahahahahaha.

The demon laughed loudly, muttering something under her breath, her face showing a dazed expression.

This was a perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but the little girl just stood there with a bitter face.

Seeing that the angel did not move, Garfield dared not move either.

"Lord Sally"

The old man lowered his voice and asked, "What do we do now?"

what to do......

The little girl also wanted to know what to do now.

Just now, when Orina was devouring Clark's soul, the unintentional aura she exuded terrified Sasa.

She was now absolutely certain—Olina was a high-ranking demon.

"..."

This is really messing with the angels!

Aren't you ashamed to come to the Silver World and cause trouble as a high-ranking demon?

The soul of the Arcane Emperor and the Star Treasures are indeed very tempting for mid-level demons.

But you're a high-ranking demon!

How could you possibly look down on these things?

...............................................

"A poignant love story has come to an end."

Orina wiped her eyes, casually tossed the man's corpse aside, and then turned her smiling gaze to the archangel.

"How about a forbidden love between an angel and a devil?"

"Pooh!"

"Demon, even at the very end you're still manipulating people's hearts."

When it really came down to it, the little girl remained calm and fearless.

"To love someone is to destroy them, what kind of love is that?"

"You don't like Clark at all. He's just a tool for your self-gratification, a pathetic wretch you constantly abuse!"
