"Cale, let's go to the dead elven world."
After seeing all his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts to the nine different worlds to conquer, Ajax was left with two devourer eagle kings, Alder and Cale.
So, he asked one of the devourer eagle kings to open the portal to that dead elven world.
Initially, Ajax wanted to go along with his summons on their conquering missions; however, a grey dwarf world and the dead elven world intrigued his attention. So, Ajax changed his plans.
"Yes, master."
Nodding his head, the devourer eagle king opened the portal to the dead elven world without any delay.
'Swoosh'
Soon, a huge portal opened in front of Ajax as he entered along with the two devourer eagle kings.
'After checking the elven world, I should help the grey dwarf world to save it from the demons.'
Even though Ajax didn't even enter the grey dwarf world, he could guess the current situation of the grey dwarves world as he saved one grey dwarf world earlier before.
'I wonder whether I can become the protector for two grey dwarf worlds or not?'
Ajax had another thought in his head.
...…
'Swoosh'
In a world where there were no trees or even a single speck of grass could not be found, a portal opened as Ajax and the two devourer eagle kings walked out.
'Th...this is….'
According to the imagination in his head about the Elven world, the current state of the Elven was completely opposite.
Even if it was a smaller elven world, it should still be filled with a lot of green trees but what he was seeing around him was nothing but barren land.
'I wonder why this world degraded into this.'
Ajax was wondering what made this world from lively to a dead one. Moreover, he didn't have a clue where he should start his investigation.
'Let's see whether I can enter the core realm of this world.'
It was a known fact that any world without a world core would be destroyed into nothingness, Ajax knew there would still be a world core inside the dead-looking elven world.
So, he tried to enter the core realm of the world where a world core is situated.
'Swoosh'
After Ajax closed his eyes and concentrated for a while, his spirit consciousness form had successfully entered the core realm.
'Th..this is….'
However, the moment he entered the core realm, Ajax was shocked by what he had seen.
....
In the main hall of the royal palace, Zrochester province.
"Huh? They are preponing the contest by a year?"
Stephen draton was looking at the scrolling in his hands and raised his brows.
"Yes, your majesty."
In front of King Stephen, there was a fine-looking young man in majestic attire that looked as good as the attire worn by King Stephen.
Even though that young man used the word 'Majesty' to call King Stephen, in his eyes, Stephen was just a king of a lowly province and nothing more.
'If not for his highness' liking this fool's daughter to become his daughter in law, I would have not bothered to come to this lowly province.'
The young man scoffed at Stephen. Moreover, he didn't bother to hide it, making Stephen rage inside his heart.
'I need to control this rage.'
'I need to control this rage.'
Nevertheless, King Stephen tried his best to suppress his anger as he stored the scroll in his hands before standing up from his throne.
"So, how many youngsters are allowed from my Province?"
Without wasting any time, King Stephen directly came to the point as he asked about the young man.
"This time there is no limit to the number of participants from the provinces. So, you can send as many youngsters as you want from your Zrochester province to represent this province."
"What?"
King Stephen was shocked when he heard the royal attendant from the Ylercester province.
"Yes. The Emperor of this purple stone world is going to open the barriers between the provinces for exactly a minute for the youngsters to enter the Ylercester province."
There was a slight smile on the royal attendant's face as he continued, "Moreover, he will be personally visiting the final round of the contest along with the Protectors of the Province."
"What?"
Within a matter of seconds, King Stephen had received the biggest shocks in his life.
First, the barriers separating the three provinces of the Purple stone world would be opening.
Even though it was only for a minute, it has never happened for the past few centuries.
And the second one was, that the emperor of the Purples stone world is still alive and he will be visiting the Ylercester province to see the final round of the contest held in the Ylercester province.
'Didn't he die a few months back?'
No matter how hard he tried to suppress his shock, King Stephen was unable to hide his shocked face in front of the royal attendant.
Nevertheless, the royal attendant just stayed silent and let King Stephen think what he was thinking.
'If he is still alive, how the hell will I become the emperor? Master...master. Where are you?'
Soon, his shock turned into anxiousness as he called for his master in his head.
'What are you shouting in such early hours? Do you want me to recover my strength or not?'
The master in his head cursed King Stephen for waking him up from his slumber.
'The royal attendant of the Flerton kingdom is saying that the 'Emperor' of this Purple stone world is still alive. So, you are lying to me all this time, right?'
Currently, King Stephen was very angry as he shouted back at his master for the first time from the time he became his student.
'What? It's impossible.'
Just like how King Stephen was shocked when he heard that the emperor was alive, the voice in King Stephen was also equally shocked.
