Despite the fierce battle outside, Clarke Manor was still 80% intact due to the grand elder and Roger. Except for the borders and uninhabited areas that were affected by the battle, other parts of Arcadia Island were intact. Thus, life still went on at Arcadia Island without changes. Moreover, due to the kingship energy field exuded by the kings during the battle, ordinary people never caught sight of that epic fight. The most they saw was the special effects screen of 3D projection. It was very shocking and very realistic. At this moment, Philip stood at the door of his residence and looked at Wynn, who sat on the sofa in the living room with red eyes. Charles and Martha had accompanied Wynn the entire time. Obviously, Wynn had learned the truth about her birth from Charles and Martha. “Wynnie.” Philip walked inside and called out softly. By now, due to the Black Dragon Heart and the five sources of kingship, Philip had undergone a major transformation. He became q
After a while, Wynn wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her slender fingers and said, “Okay, I promise you. However, you must also promise me something.” “What is it?” “No matter what the outcome of the investigation is, you’re my husband and the father of Mila and Nelson. No matter what I choose in the end, you should not be confused or accommodate others because of my choice.” Wynn spoke very seriously with a firm look in her eyes. Philip thought for a while before he nodded and replied, “Okay.” Wynn added, “Also, I want to leave this place. I want to go back to Riverdale.” Philip frowned slightly and said, “Okay.” The living room suddenly fell silent. Philip knew that from today, an invisible barrier existed between him and Wynn. This barrier would take a long time to eliminate. … As night fell, the entire Arcadia Island was immersed in laughter and a festive atmosphere. The whole island celebrated the appointment of the new head of the Clarke f
Wynn looked sideways at the man in front of her with love in her eyes. “Thank you, Philip, for giving me many things that I couldn’t even imagine. Thank you for staying by my side all these years.” Wynn said softly as her little hand held Philip’s big hand tightly. Philip looked sideways at Wynn and said, “I’ll bring you out so you can be in the limelight that belongs to you.’ After saying that, Philip took Wynn out of the residence. They boarded the golden carriage that headed to the white castle at the highest point of Clarke Manor. On both sides of the road, hordes of people held flowers while singing and dancing. It seemed as if Clarke Manor was having a festival. The roadside was full of crowds waiting for their new lord and lady to pass by. The scene was extremely lively. Naturally, this scene of Philip and Wynn riding in the golden carriage to the white castle was also broadcasted live worldwide. However, for security purposes, the image was a little blurry and d
Instantly, the entire Arcadia Island burst into cheers. The entire world was also excited. From now on, the Clarke family’s head had changed. However, due to special security reasons, all the shots of Philip and Wynn had blurred images. Thus, no one in the world saw Philip and Wynn’s faces clearly. However, this did not affect the global banquet at all. At the same time, far away in the hinterland of a deep forest, a huge palace was brightly lit. It was strictly surrounded by guards. In the hall of this palace, a dozen people sat at a long table. They were all wearing masks that hid their true appearances. At this moment, they were looking at the screen in the middle that was broadcasting the global banquet. The image was paused at the scene of Philip and Wynn waving at the crowd. The burly figure in the main seat was dressed in a black suit. He propped his chin on his hands and made a mechanical sound as he spoke to the dozen people below, “The plan has begun. Wh
In the hall, the atmosphere was unusually somber. Everyone watched the flickering eternal lamp with bated breath. Roger’s eyes also flickered brilliantly as he stood with his hands behind his back. The eternal lamp would impact everyone’s hearts and the safety of the world for the next ten years. Alliance Master Yarn and Court Master Larson, as well as the four pavilion masters, stood in the crowd behind or beside Roger. They all watched the eternal lamp closely. This was related to the fate of the world. Alliance Master Yarn narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the eternal lamp for a while before looking at Roger and Philip. He asked in a low voice, “Court Master Larson, did you predict the outcome of the Clarke family’s grand elder?” Court Master Larson's face was cold and aloof at the moment as he stood with his hands behind his back. There was a trace of sadness in his eyes as he said, “The outcome had long been decided. There was no need to make another predictio
In the large hall, only Roger and Philip were left. Roger motioned to the servant on the side to hand a document to Philip. He looked at the extinguished eternal lamp and said, “This is what the grand elder left you before he left. It’s regarding the research results of Wynn’s bloodline. These are the research materials of the Lovelace family, including the origin and development history of the Lovelace family's golden blood. It may be of some help to you if you want to find a cure for Wynn’s golden blood syndrome.” Philip looked down at the information in his hand with slightly reddened eyes. The hearty laughter of the grand elder echoed in his ears with the affectionate voice calling him ‘Little Monkey.’ Images of his past with the grand elder also began to emerge. “Is the grand elder really gone?” Philip looked up and asked. Roger nodded and said, “The stargate in Cochly Mountain can’t be sealed without a person from the realm of the other shore. Back then, I joined forc
Roger sighed with his hands behind his decrepit back. He looked at the starry sky and said forlornly, “Phil, never underestimate your mother's talent and ingenuity. In front of your mother, I was always the inferior one. I’m not the only guardian and executor of the God Creation Project. Your mother was involved too. Moreover, she was one of the modifiers. You have overturned the philosophy of the God Creation Project that our predecessors have followed for thousands of years.” God Creation Project? Modifier? Philip was full of doubts and puzzlement as he asked, “Dad, what exactly is the God Creation Project? Why are you still working on it after thousands of years? Are our forefathers also part of the God Creation Project?” Roger nodded and said, “The God Creation Project is divided into three stages. The first stage involved the First and Seventh Emperors, who were some of the most outstanding candidates of the God Creation Project. They also brought the first stage to a perf
Philip and Roger stood in the sea of stars. They were surrounded by shining stars as well as star belts and star clusters, even black holes. With a flick of Roger’s hand, the stars began to rotate. Several bright stars surfaced in front of Philip's eyes. “These are the stars most closely connected to the stargate recently. According to the research reports from the Nonagon and the Star Ocean Research Institute, the creatures in the seventh zone behind the door have taken the initiative to contact these stars. If the data is correct, these are the mother stars of these creatures. The stargate in our country was also left by them. “Moreover, according to historical records, the rock paintings in Helene Mountain from 7,000 years ago, the foreign emissaries met by the First Emperor during his quest for longevity, and the painting that depicted red flames soaring into the sky are all related to extraterrestrial civilizations. Although many of them are unofficial records, they also
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
