Chapter 680 The Grand Welcome
After a few minutes of flying in space, they finally reached the upper layers of the planet''s atmosphere. The ship absorbed the impact seamlessly, its occupants not feeling a thing as they descended. The transition from the cold vacuum of space to the warmth of the planet below was smooth, silent, and peaceful.
“The planet is truly massive and beautiful in its own way,” Rina remarked, gazing out of the ship’s window. Despite having seen it in VR, experiencing it in reality evoked a different sensation. The abundance of mana was a major factor in this feeling; both she and Aron were exhilarated, their bodies responding to the mana in a way that Earth’s mana was yet to match.
“This amount of mana feels like a dream,” Aron added, extending his hand forward and then closing it into a fist. The mana’s influence was particularly profound on him, as his golden blood contained a high percentage of mana.
As a result, at the moment, he was feeling constantly invigorated and in peak condition, a sensation he could previously only experience within mana-dense artificial environments back on Earth, like in his now decommissioned first ever quantum server.
As they discussed their experience with the mana, the ship continued its steady course, and soon, the palace became visible in the distance, unveiling its grandeur.
“Looks like they really went all out for the meeting,” Aron remarked, taking in the sight.
“It’s incredible,” Rina said, observing the palace''s design. “The level of control they have over their roots is astonishing. Despite everything looking like a traditional palace with various colors and contrasts, it’s all created from a single root.”
“Is it alright if I ask them about how they’re doing it?” Rina turned to Ayaka, seeking guidance on whether it was appropriate to inquire about their techniques. She wanted to be respectful of their unique characteristics and differences, knowing that the tree folk couldn’t be judged by human standards. Ayaka, being one of the few knowledgeable about the tree folk, was the perfect person to ask.
“You can ask them anything without worrying about offending them,” Ayaka promptly answered. “The only issue is whether they consider the question worth answering. From our previous meetings, we’ve learned that they might choose to answer or not, without explaining why.”
“Looks like I’ll need to gauge their mood before deciding what to ask, Thanks,” Rina said, appreciating the advice.
@Eldwood_Kaumehei: [@ahmed_94, What do you mean by that? I saw nothing about what you are talking about at all. Are you also one of those conspiracy theorists?]
@ahmed_94: [@Eldwood_Kaumehei, I saw it because I had my stream zoomed and focused on his face, and it happened for a few milliseconds. It is one of the you blink, and you miss it type of action, but it happened.]
@Nerdrage001: [@ahmed_94, Are you one of those perverts who simps for the emperor?]
@ahmed_94: [Stop slandering me. I can and will sue you for that. If you don’t believe me, go and take a look for yourself]
@Fkuffy_Dog_Hugger: [@ahmed_94, Based on your reaction, it looks like it is true.]
@ahmed_94: [Meet me in VR, and let our bodies do the talk like men. I sent you an invite and location. It is a fight to the death, and If you don’t come, you are a Pu**y ]
@Ertenal_Crusader: [@ahmed_94, Make the link public. I want to watch people kill each other for honor]
@Thawk7678: [@Fkuffy_Dog_Hugger, You better accept it, or you won’t live past it.]
@Demonic_entity: [This is why I like the VR. Thank you, emperor, for the tech.]
@Lenrad: [Hey @Nerdrage001, I found the man you were looking for here]
Such discussions were rampant throughout the livestream. Even though the emperor and the empress had already entered the palace and were no longer visible on the stream, people continued watching it, eagerly awaiting for the results of the meeting.
A few viewers briefly left the stream to catch a fight of honor, but they, too, were quick to return after a few minutes, eager to see what would unfold next.
