With that understanding, Lin Li became more and more eager to transform the Sky Castle in his hands. Besides, he was almost certain that as long as the transformation of the Sky Castle was completed, it would definitely surpass the Sky Garden in all aspects.
However, before Lin Li could walk towards the Eternal Tower in the center of the Sky Garden, he saw a figure with a powerful Sanctuary-level aura darting towards him from the Eternal Tower.
"Felic, how dare you set foot here!?" The person who came was the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council, Rosen, who had clearly stepped into the Sanctuary-realm during the magic tides. Hence, he seemed to be full of confidence when he saw Lin Li again.
The failure of plotting against the Tower of Dusk's Tera Mine previously caused Rosen to suffer a huge setback, and his prestige in the Supreme Council had also plummeted. Originally, he could still be on par with Chairman Andoine, but after that failure, many councilors turned to Andoine's side, causing his right to speak in the council to be weakened bit by bit. Besides, his authority and prestige had been reduced, and more councilors had turned to Andoine's side, causing him to fall into a vicious cycle.
It was impossible for Rosen not to hate Lin Li. However, he was well aware that Lin Li was protected by the three arbitrators, and he could not lay a finger on Lin Li or the Tower of Dusk without a valid reason. Besides, after that incident, Lin Li even displayed Sanctuary-level power when he left the Sky Garden. Hence, Rosen dared not provoke Lin Li easily.
However, Rosen did not expect that he would actually step into the Sanctuary-realm during the magic tides this time, and suddenly become the fourth Sanctuary powerhouse of the Supreme Council. Stepping into the Sanctuary-realm meant that he would have a status that was superior to all beings, and he might even become the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council.
As Rosen stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, the situation in the Supreme Council suddenly changed again. Sanctuary powerhouses were qualified to become arbitrators, and the chairman of the Supreme Council was nothing to them. Although the three arbitrators did not make any changes to the personnel of the Supreme Council, Andoine still sat firmly in the position of chairman. However, during meetings, Rosen was more like a chairman, and the proposals that he made would often be supported by the majority.
Rosen had never touched the Tower of Dusk because he was still worried about the attitude of the three arbitrators. He had a vague feeling that the attitude of the three arbitrators towards Felic was not simply that of elders towards juniors. There seemed to be something else in it.
That concern was the reason why Rosen did not pass any bills that were obviously against the Tower of Dusk even though he had almost gained complete control of the council. He had to wait and observe the attitude of the three arbitrators. He had to wait until he had something to use against the Tower of Dusk.
Today, just as Rosen was experiencing the power that the Sanctuary-realm brought him, he suddenly felt a Sanctuary-realm aura descend on the Sky Garden without warning. Rosen was certain that the aura of the Sanctuary-realm did not belong to any of the three arbitrators, but there was something familiar about it.
However, no matter what, Rosen, the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council, had no reason to ignore the sudden arrival of a Sanctuary powerhouse in the Sky Castle. Hence, he immediately left his residence. Due to the fact that he did not know if the person who came was a friend or foe, he revealed his Sanctuary-realm aura as soon as he came out.
However, when Rosen saw the face of the person who came, he immediately felt a mixture of hatred and joy. He hated the fact that the person who came was Lin Li, who had crippled his disciple that he was proud of and made him suffer several times. He was delighted because he had already gotten hold of a weakness of the Tower of Dusk, and was just thinking about how to get Lin Li to come to the Sky Garden. He didn't expect Lin Li to come to him on his own accord.
Seeing Rosen flying over aggressively and landing in front of him, Lin Li was stunned by Rosen's words. He said in bewilderment, "Oh, it's you, Deputy Chairman Rosen. Isn't this the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council? As a councilor of the Supreme Council, why wouldn't I dare to come?"
"Very well, it's great that you came. Even if you didn't come, I was going to get someone to inform you to come over so that you can be questioned by the Supreme Council for the crimes you have committed," Rosen said as he looked at Lin Li. Rosen looked at Lin Li, and although he was already filled with hatred, he still acted like he was doing his job.
Hearing Rosen's words, Lin Li couldn't help but look at him in bewilderment. With Lin Li's abilities, he could naturally tell that Rosen's so-called Sanctuary-realm was actually the same as Elvis and the others. He could only be considered a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse. The difference was that Rosen had the support of the Supreme Council, after all. Hence, he had a better understanding and mastery of the power of the Sanctuary-realm than Elvis and the others.
Could it be that becoming a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse was his source of confidence? Of course, Lin Li knew that Rosen had always been at odds with him, but after the previous incident with the Tera Mine, Rosen had given up. Why did he think that he could have nothing to worry about anymore after becoming a pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouse after being well-behaved for three or four years?
Lin Li's guess was right. Stepping into the Sanctuary-realm had indeed given Rosen great confidence. In Rosen's opinion, the reason why the three arbitrators valued Lin Li was that there hadn't been a new Sanctuary powerhouse in the Supreme Council for a long time. Now that Rosen was also a Sanctuary powerhouse, the three arbitrators wouldn't continue to protect Lin Li despite the fact that he had committed an unforgivable crime.
"Deputy Chairman Rosen, don't spout nonsense. It's not up to you to decide whether I'm guilty or not. I'm here this time to see the three arbitrators for something. I don't have time to play guessing games with you. " If it was a normal conversation, it wouldn't matter if they chatted for a while, but after hearing Rosen's repeated crimes, Lin Li didn't have the patience to waste time with him.
Rosen seemed to be amused by Lin Li's words. With a sneer on his face, he said in a gloomy voice, "Councilor Felic, it's still unknown whether you can continue to serve as a councilor of the Supreme Council. So, if you want to see the three arbitrators, please be obedient and accept the questioning of the council. If you can't even keep your identity as a councilor, what right do you have to see the three arbitrators? "
To be honest, with Lin Li's current strength, no one could stop him from entering the Eternal Tower except for the three arbitrators. However, they were in the Supreme Council, after all. Even if Lin Li didn't take Rosen seriously, he still had to show some respect to the three arbitrators. After all, the Supreme Council was established by Geresco and the three arbitrators, not Rosen.
Since he was going to the Eternal Tower anyway, he decided to just take it as it was on the way! Lin Li smiled indifferently, and said, "Okay, please lead the way, Deputy Chairman Rosen. I hope you won't take up too much of my time."
Seeing that Lin Li had nodded, Rosen couldn't help but be secretly delighted. He had to admit that Lin Li had come at the right time. The three arbitrators were all busy with the spacetime rift. In the future, as long as Lin Li's crimes were proven, even the three arbitrators wouldn't be able to continue to protect him.
Lin Li followed Rosen to the Eternal Tower in the middle of the Sky Garden. Along the way, he didn't seem to be affected by Rosen's words at all as he constantly looked around to observe the layout of the Sky Garden. In particular, the Eternal Tower that was built with the trunk of the Tree of Eternity made Lin Li feel a little envious.
Although the trunk of the Tree of Eternity was already dead, the power contained in the trunk could still be considered endless. The Eternal Tower that was built with the trunk of the tree was not only a Magic Tower, but also the core of the Sky Garden. With the increase in power of the trunk of the Tree of Eternity, the power of the entire Sky Garden would definitely increase by several times or even more than 10 times.
More importantly, under the power of the Tree of Eternity, the Sky Garden was not only filled with rich mana, but the mana sources of the various facilities would also be greatly restored. For example, if a Legendary magical crystal was used in a Magical Crystal Cannon, the Legendary magical crystal would probably be completely destroyed due to insufficient mana recovery after being shot dozens or hundreds of times. However, under the power of the Tree of Eternity, the recovery speed of the Legendary magical crystal would be greatly increased. Even if the Magical Crystal Cannon itself was destroyed because of the shooting, the Legendary magical crystal would not be damaged.
Inspired by the Eternal Tower, Lin Li remembered that although he did not have the trunk of the Tree of Eternity, he had two growing saplings of the Tree of Eternity. If the two saplings of the Tree of Eternity were transplanted to the Sky Castle, the benefits that the Sky Castle would receive would probably be much greater than that of the Sky Garden.
Lin Li's mind was completely occupied with the transformation of the Sky Castle, and he only snapped out of it when he heard someone calling his name. In the distance, the two old men, Andoine and Aldwin, were walking towards the Eternal Tower with a few councilors.
"Teacher Andoine, Master Aldwin," Lin Li greeted the two old men smilingly.
However, Andoine did not immediately respond to Lin Li's greeting, and instead frowned at Rosen, who was at the side. He then said to Lin Li, "Felic, why are you here? The three arbitrators have been busy with the magic tides and the spatial rifts during this period of time. I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of you. If there's anything, you'd better come back in a few days."
Andoine's words sounded a little heartless. Since his student had come all the way from afar, how could he rush over without a care? However, Lin Li could tell that Andoine's meaning was obvious. He was saying that Rosen and the others were probably going to harm him this time, and the three arbitrators didn't have the time to deal with that matter.
However, Andoine clearly didn't know about the deal between the three arbitrators and Lin Li. The reason why Lin Li was fearless was not because of the protection of the three arbitrators. He was now abiding by the rules of the Supreme Council because he was giving the three arbitrators face. Actually, in the entire Supreme Council, apart from the three arbitrators, no one could stop Lin Li if he wanted to break into the Eternal Tower or leave the Sky Garden.
"Chairman Andoine, what are you talking about? Councilor Felic is here to be questioned by the council. How can he leave without permission before the truth is out? You're Councilor Felic's teacher, and logically speaking, you should be asked to recuse yourself from this matter. However, I think as the chairman of the Supreme Council, you should know what it means to be impartial. In that case, why don't you listen in at the side? "Rosen wasn't worried at all that Andoine's appearance would affect his plan. Firstly, the whole matter was not fabricated out of thin air, and there was actual evidence to prove it. Secondly, most of the councilors in the entire council had already sided with him, and Andoine could be considered to be alone. He couldn't cause any trouble at all.
"Rosen, don't forget the lesson you learned last time. The three arbitrators will naturally investigate Lin Li's matter personally. Aren't you afraid that the three arbitrators will pursue the matter after you act on your own!?" Andoine had no choice but to bring up the three arbitrators. He was now also very clear that if he really wanted to bring Lin Li's matter to the council for a vote, he would really be a little weak.
"Teacher Andoine, don't worry. Actually, I'm very curious about what they're talking about, and I'm just going to listen to what they have to say. Since the three arbitrators are not free for the time being, I can't just sit around idly. I'll just treat it as a way to kill time. " Andoine and Rosen had such a serious dispute, yet Lin Li did not realize it at all. Instead, he tried to persuade Andoine.
Hearing Lin Li's words, the councilors on Rosen's side were all infuriated. What do you mean by killing time? Is this something to be used to kill time!? He's simply too arrogant. Does he really think that the Supreme Council can't deal with him!?
Rosen was still relatively calm, and he pursed his lips with a fake smile. He looked at Andoine, and said, "Chairman Andoine, since Councilor Felic is willing to be questioned by the council, what else do you have to object to? If you still have something else to do, please go ahead and do it. I will inform you of the results of the inquiry afterward. "
Andoine looked at Lin Li rather helplessly. He really couldn't understand why his student would be so muddle-headed at this juncture. Could it be that he couldn't tell the obvious intentions of Rosen and the others!? However, he was also worried about leaving just like that. Hence, he had no choice but to secretly grit his teeth, and say, "Sure, I'd like to see what tricks you can come up with by bypassing me, the chairman of the council."
Andoine had also gone all out. Since he could even say such words, he was clearly on Lin Li's side. No matter what tricks Rosen and the others could come up with in the end, he had to uphold justice for his student.
