"Tell me about everything you know in this world. I can perhaps help you if you do." Jin Rou spoke. He needed to gather information of this world so he could familiarize himself.
Mrs. Lei looked at him with confusion. Was he a foreigner? Even if that was the case, it's still incomprehensible that he didn't know anything about the world. Or maybe, he just came from seclusion? Nevertheless, she didn't ask and eventually explained.
The Fate World was a very vast single continent with various kingdoms and empires in a foothold. There were hundred thousands of kingdoms but there were only seven empires in existence. Each empire was governing thousands of kingdoms and each empire was under the rule of the Supreme Existence called Universal Law.
Universal Laws were the undeniable strongest and apex predators of the world. There were even legend records that stating that they were also secretly governing other worlds and universes aside from this. However, no laws had proved this so it remained a legend.
To date, the seven empires were coexisting without major skirmishes but those in the know knew that they were against each other's throats. They were all scheming to get the better end.
Jin Rou looked indifferent while listening to what Mrs. Lei was saying. However, the hatred he hid deep within was resurfacing. There was one more reason why he wanted to go here. And that was to make those who killed his old master pay for their crimes. Perhaps, his old master didn't want him to brave this danger but since he was already here, he would clash with them one way or another.
"What is the empire governing Newgate Kingdom?" Jin Rou asked.
"From what I know, it's the Phoenix Empire which currently governs the kingdom. As a matter of fact, the Lei Clan is also residing in their empire, being one of the major nobles of it." Mrs. Lei answered. She didn't filter anything and told Jin Rou everything.
Jin Rou laughed in this coincidence, or was it truly just a mere coincidence? He remembered that this was his old master's empire and turf. With this in mind, things have gotten easier than he expected. After all, it was one less trouble of finding his old master's empire.
"Why do you ask?" Seeing that Jin Rou was smiling, she couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing. Since you have no one to run to, just come with me to the empire." Jin Rou said with a smile. He was also curious what kind of empire his old master made in his life. Living for trillions of years, he must have done so many things for the empire now.
"You want to go to the Phoenix Empire?" Mrs. Lei was shocked, "The empire is no more now that our Universal Law died. It is a messy place and I don't want to join the fray."
The Phoenix Empire was used to be the strongest empire of all. After all, the other six empires had to bow down to them. Unfortunately, Universal Law Feng Lin had died for some unknown reason and the empire was like a headless chicken. The other empires, were in fact, planning to devour a big pie called Phoenix Empire. With trillions of years of legacy, it was more than enough to tempt the other empires and kingdoms.
"Mrs. Lei, you have no choice here. It's either you come with me or go your own way. I won't force you, but please think about your son." Jin Rou said coldly. If not for Xiao Lei, would Jin Rou even bother to help these two? He already had done enough by saving them.
Mrs. Lei wanted to speak but no voice came out. Jin Rou was right. She had to think about her son. He's still very young and innocent. Could she bear it to see her son suffer again? She already lost one, she couldn't lose the other one too.
"Alright, we will come with you." Mrs. Lei bit her lip and spoke with a low tone, "We will be in your care, Young Master."
She didn't know why she put her trust on the young man but she felt relief for some reason. Perhaps he looked a bit similar to her late son.
"Give me the coordinates of the empire. We have to be there immediately." Jin Rou said seriously. She would best know this or else he might just take the son and go their way.
Mrs. Lei didn't think twice and gave the exact coordinates of the empire, "This is it. However, it is just within the inner territory of the empire, near itself."
"This will do." Jin Rou nodded and applied the coordinates to his portal, he then urged Mrs. Lei to enter, "Go in. I will be following through."
Mrs. Lei didn't say anything and entered carrying her child on her arms. Xiao Lei was still sleeping soundly and it would be good for more hours.
---
Inner bounds of Phoenix Empire. Jin Rou and Mrs. Lei arrived safely. He decided to keep Xiao Lei in his space since the child would be safer there which she immediately agreed. After all, they couldn't predict what would happen and it's better to be safe than sorry.
Jin Rou looked up and could see a towering flaming walls. This was the first time he had seen this type of wall. Judging by the walls, the empire was so vast that it probably was a world inside.
The old master's max affinity was with all types of flames, so it was natural that his empire would be like this. Jin Rou had inherited this power. But, he never used it as he was still feeling bitter about how his old master died. However, right now he finally felt that he could deal with this emotion and would no longer be a hindrance for him.
The duo walked closer and closer to the empire gates. There, hundreds of soldiers were stationed to guard the imperial gates. All of them had full of energy, never had one slacking as they were very alert in their surroundings. Thus, the duo was immediately discovered.
"Strangers, speak.. Who are you?" A soldier spoke with an aggressive tone.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
