Although High Priest Poer was very anxious, he couldn't be too obvious about it. Hence, he sat at the side and chatted with Herza while waiting for the show to start.
However, that made Herza and the other people of the Supreme Council feel a little strange. High Priest Poer's status in the Gilded Kingdom was almost the same as King Bradlor's. Although Herza represented the Supreme Council, High Priest Poer seemed to be too enthusiastic, and he was simply trying to find something to talk about.
He said that he was going to bring them to the welcoming ceremony and arrange a place to rest, but those matters were already handled by the foreign affairs minister. Hence, there was no need for High Priest Poer to do it himself. If someone who didn't know what was going on saw it, they would think that High Priest Poer was sucking up to Herza.
In fact, High Priest Poer was also very uncomfortable. He wasn't very familiar with Herza in the first place, and one of his hobbies was studying inscription, while the other was studying pharmaceutics. Hence, there wasn't much to talk about. However, if he didn't try to find something to talk about, High Priest Poer couldn't just sit there and wait foolishly. That would be even more strange.
They waited in the hall downstairs for about 15 minutes before Lin Li finally came down with a smile on his face. He said apologetically, "Master Herza, I'm really sorry. I was stopped by Master Sendros to discuss pharmaceutics just now. I've kept you waiting."
Herza also stood up, and smilingly said, "It's rare to have such an opportunity. I've prepared a lot of questions for you. Sendros must be scolding me deep down."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Li let Herza take a seat and sat down beside him as if he didn't see High Priest Poer. He then asked, "Master Herza, you came to me without resting as soon as you arrived in the Gilded Kingdom. You must have something to tell me, right?"
"Of course," Herza said with a nod.
We're about to get to the point! As soon as he heard this, High Priest Poer immediately perked up, and ignored Lin Li's disregard just now. He sat there and straightened his back, waiting for the show to start, and also preparing to accept Lin Li's apology later.
Herza was too busy talking to Lin Li to notice the change in High Priest Poer. After nodding, he continued, "As the special envoy of the Supreme Council to the Gilded Kingdom, since I know that the fourth arbitrator has arrived, there's no reason for me not to report to you first."
"Oh." Upon hearing this, Lin Li knew that the three old fellows who were eager to get away must have already announced the news. Otherwise, even if Herza knew about it, he would not have said it in public.
To be honest, Lin Li really had a headache at this point, even though he had already promised the three arbitrators that he would help them take care of the Supreme Council as the fourth arbitrator in the future. However, he now had a lot of things to do. He had to modify the Sky Castle, search for the secret of the Immortal King, and increase his strength to complete Geresco's entrustment. How could he have the time to care about the messy matters of the Supreme Council?
In fact, the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council had probably also considered that. If the news of Lin Li being the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council had been announced a little later, Lin Li would probably have been able to create something similar to the Supreme Council. By then, could they still count on Lin Li to focus on the Supreme Council? After all, changing an old system would be far more difficult than establishing a new one.
At this moment, High Priest Poer, who was sitting at the side and waiting for Lin Li to lower his head and apologize to him under the pressure of the Supreme Council, suddenly had an extremely sullen expression. That damned guy actually became the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council! That was simply the most unbelievable news he had ever heard in his life.
Since Lin Li had become the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council, could he still expect Lin Li to lower his head and apologize to him under the pressure of the Supreme Council? Although High Priest Poer was not a member of the Supreme Council, he knew that the arbitrators were the supreme leaders of the Supreme Council. Hence, he definitely did not have to think about it anymore.
"Haha, congratulations! Felic, I've long said that with your talent and strength, it's definitely a waste of your talent to be the President of a Guild of Magic under the Supreme Council. If you were willing to join the Darkness Shrine, I wouldn't have a problem letting you be the high priest. Unfortunately, you don't like it. " Sendros happened to come down from upstairs, and when he heard that Lin Li had become the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council, he could only sigh regretfully.
In fact, Sendros had wanted to poach Lin Li to join the Darkness Shrine a long time ago, especially after confirming Lin Li's identity as the Darkness Incarnation. Unfortunately, the Supreme Council was one step ahead of him. They first made Lin Li a councilor of the Supreme Council, and then promoted him to the deputy chairman. Now, he even became the fourth arbitrator that was on par with the three arbitrators.
After hearing Sendros' words, Lin Li could only smile bitterly. The title of the fourth arbitrator sounded nice, but in fact, the three arbitrators had already made it clear that he was just a pot repairman, and his job was to fix the rotten pot of the Supreme Council. It was not an easy job.
Lin Li did not respond to Herza, nor did he know how to respond. He happened to see High Priest Poer who was sitting behind the crowd, and thus said, "High Priest Poer, I'm really sorry, I didn't notice you just now. May I know why you're here?"
At this moment, High Priest Poer already felt like a clown, and was hoping that no one would notice him. However, he didn't expect Lin Li to change the topic to him. He immediately looked a little awkward, and forced a smile. "President Felic, what a coincidence. We meet again. I'm here to accompany Councilor Herza. After he's done with his business, I'll arrange a welcoming ceremony and a place to rest for the Supreme Council's envoys. "
"Oh, I see." Lin Li nodded, turned around, and said to Herza, "Master Herza, let's talk about other things later. Don't let the owner of this place wait too long. You'd better go with High Priest Poer to attend the welcoming ceremony and arrange a place to rest first. We'll talk after that. "
"Erm, okay." Herza still didn't know what exactly happened between Lin Li and High Priest Poer. Hence, he didn't think much about it, and instead turned around apologetically. "High Priest Poer, sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go through the formalities now."
"Okay, please come with me." High Priest Poer was still thinking of leaving as soon as possible, and as soon as he heard Herza's words, he hurriedly nodded and agreed.
The news that Lin Li had become the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council was definitely sensational. Once it was announced, the founding celebration of the Gilded Kingdom would probably be overshadowed. However, under Lin Li's request, the few people who knew about it at that time didn't spread the news. Sendros, on the other hand, told Englos about it, which naturally caused Englos to stomp his feet and pound his chest, feeling that he had acted too late. Lin Li was regarded as the incarnation of darkness by the Darkness Shrine, but he was also the Son of The Holy Light in the Brilliance Shrine. The Brilliance Shrine had also tried to rope Lin Li in.
As for High Priest Poer, although his intentions at that time weren't seen through by others, he still felt that he had made a fool of himself at that time. Hence, he naturally wouldn't spread the news. Besides, in his opinion, Lin Li becoming the fourth arbitrator of the Supreme Council was definitely a great thing for Lin Li. Hence, there was no need for him to help his enemy publicize it.
Hence, after that incident, Lin Li was not disturbed. Otherwise, he would be overwhelmed by the visits of the various forces. However, after touring the capital of the Gilded Kingdom, Lin Li had nothing special to do. Hence, he thought of the world in the inverted tower of the Sky Castle. After such a long time, he wondered if The Star in that world had lost track of the Immortal King.
Anyway, there was nothing left to do here, and he believed that no one in the Gilded Kingdom would dare to touch The Star after suffering such a huge loss. Hence, Lin Li informed Sendros and Englos, who often came to discuss pharmaceutics, and directly tore open the space to return to the Sky Castle in the Breezy Plains.
After returning to the Sky Castle, Lin Li first took a look at the progress of the transformation of the Sky Castle, and then entered the inverted tower. Through the gate of the Meditation Land, he once again arrived in the world of the Dark Age created by Geresco.
When Lin Li appeared, he was still in the pilothouse of The Star. Through the crystal ball in the pilothouse, he could see all the sailing records of The Star during the period of time that he had been away. Seeing the blurry figure of the Immortal King in the scene from a few days ago, Lin Li finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he did not lose track of the Immortal King, the final mystery would eventually be revealed. If he had lost track of the Immortal King, Lin Li would really have no idea how he could continue to search for clues in the vast sea.
After sailing on The Star for another two days, just when Lin Li thought that he was going to continue to be bored, he suddenly felt a terrifying mana wave coming from ahead. The mana wave was filled with a strange death aura, as if there was a trace of vitality in death. It was the unique mana wave of the Immortal King.
After sensing the abnormal situation, Lin Li immediately let The Star advance at full speed, and magnified the field of vision of the crystal ball that was used to monitor the surroundings to the limit. Finally, an island was quickly enlarged in the image presented by the crystal ball. At the same time, the figure floating above the island was none other than the Immortal King.
It was a seemingly barren island. Although the area of the island was not small, it was covered with very low vegetation. To be honest, there were millions of such islands in the Endless Ocean, and there was nothing special about them at all. However, the Immortal King stopped above the island, and was emitting such a terrifying mana wave. That made Lin Li curious.
Just as Lin Li was making all sorts of guesses, the Immortal King floating above the island finally made a move. The Immortal King stretched out a hand, and pointed at the island out of thin air, after which the massive mana immediately surged towards the center of the island. Next, a tower that was about 10 meters tall quickly condensed in the open space in the middle of the island.
Seeing this scene, Lin Li, who was standing in front of the crystal ball, was really shocked. Although he knew that the Immortal King's strength was very likely to be very close to that of a real deity, the method of creating something out of thin air still shocked Lin Li. Although Sanctuary powerhouses could create their own Domain Worlds and even life in their own Domain Worlds, that was a completely different concept from creating things in Anril. However, that was a completely different concept from creating things in Anril.
It was just like how a person could imagine everything out of thin air, but when they returned to reality, they would still have to be restrained by the rules of reality. Creating everything in one's own Domain World was like imagining everything in one's mind, but creating things in the real world was really a method of creating something out of nothing.
After the shock, Lin Li also discovered that the tower that the Immortal King created out of thin air was actually very similar to the tower on the lone island that he had discovered when he was sailing in the outside world. The only difference was that the tower outside was also engraved with a Divine-Smith-level Void Spirit Mageweath.
However, seeing that the Immortal King did not leave after creating the tower, Lin Li had a hunch that the Immortal King was probably going to do something else.
Indeed, just a moment later, the Immortal King took action again, and quickly made a few magic seals. Streams of magic power condensed under his control as if they had substance, entangling the tower that had just been created out of thin air. Every time the mana fell on the tower, it would immediately leave a complex pattern or a mysterious rune on the tower.
After a while, the appearance of the tower had completely changed, and it looked extremely mysterious under the countless patterns and runes. After looking at everything, Lin Li finally saw that the patterns and runes on the outside of the tower formed the Divine-Smith-level Void Spirit Mageweath that he could not figure out no matter how hard he tried.
In the beginning, Lin Li was very puzzled as to who would build such a tower inscribed with Divine-Smith-level mageweath on the lone island in the Endless Ocean. Now, he finally understood that it was all the work of the Immortal King. In the history of Anril, the Immortal King was probably the only one who had such an ability.
However, that made Lin Li wonder what the Immortal King wanted to do by leaving such a tower and Divine-Smith-level Void Spirit Mageweath in the Endless Ocean.
Before Lin Li could think too much about that issue, the Immortal King, who had already completed the Void Spirit Mageweath, darted towards another direction like a bolt of lightning after activating the mageweath.
