Chapter 120: Holy Emperor's Authority
"Do you know about the Netherworld of Reincarnation, Holy Maiden?" Timothy asked curiously, noticing a slight shock on Aeliana's face.
"The Ninefold Underworld, thousands of souls...
I do know a bit about the Netherworld.
But these matters are too complex to explain clearly, I'll tell you more about it later."
Holy Maiden Aeliana's expression carried a hint of seriousness.
"What about the Undead Sanctuary, what should we do next...?" Timothy glanced around the forbidden area and asked.
"From here on, you can handle it as you see fit. After all, with both Goddess Sylvia and me backing you, what's there to fear?"
Holy Maiden Aeliana gave a slight smile, seemingly putting the troubling thoughts of the Netherworld of Reincarnation behind her.
Timothy chuckled, "Well, I do have Goddess Sylvia to lean on, but I don't recall ever leaning on you."
"Why don't you try it then? I may not have Sylvia's icy grace and flawless beauty.
But who knows, I might have my own charm~"
Holy Maiden Aeliana's voice was soft and enticing, her every smile and frown seemed to carry a seductive allure.
Timothy glanced around at the other practitioners and spread his hands in resignation, "Maybe not, I'll wait until I get back and face the consequences."
"Oh, then I'll be waiting for you."
Hearing this, Holy Maiden Aeliana's eyes twinkled, and a subtle smile spread across her lips.
Timothy didn't respond but slowly floated above the golden river, his gaze cold and commanding as it swept across the land.
"Whew~"
Flames suddenly surged, emanating from the Phoenix Blade as if they could devour half the sky, fierce and intense.
It was as if a phoenix was crying out in the heavens, sacred and supremely majestic.
Thousands of practitioners in the Undead Sanctuary looked up at the sky, but dared not meet Timothy's icy gaze.
This was the man who forced the Bone Sovereign to his death!
But...
"The Bone Sovereign is dead, from today onwards, the Undead Sanctuary will submit to Goddess Sylvia.
The sacred ground is always open for Sky Sanctuary, and all practitioners within it bow to Goddess Sylvia.
Is there anyone who objects?"
Timothy's voice echoed throughout the Undead Sanctuary.
Accompanied by the sacred phoenix cries and the sky-brightening blaze, Timothy's figure was cast as if a deity had descended.
His voice carried an overwhelming authority that made it impossible for anyone to think of defying him.
At this moment, looking at Timothy suspended above the golden river, everyone in the sacred ground felt they were not facing a mere Mystic Core practitioner.
But rather... a true Holy Emperor-level powerhouse!
Rumors had predicted that Timothy, with his Enlightenment Body, would add another Holy Emperor to the Sky Sanctuary within a century.
The current spectacle not only made them believe this seemingly absurd prophecy but also made them question whether the lofty position of Holy Emperor was just a peak that Timothy could easily reach!
The commanding presence in his voice left no room for defiance.
And with Holy Maiden Aeliana standing by his side, the entire Undead Sanctuary fell into a hushed silence.
Even though the Bone Sovereign was forced to self-destruct his soul, no one dared to stand up.
[Ding, you have intimidated the entire Undead Sanctuary and subdued the strong practitioners of various Sects
Reward received, Holy Emperor's Authority +1]
The system's voice promptly rang out.
"Holy Emperor's Authority?"
Timothy didn't hesitate to use it.
Instantly, an immense aura burst forth from Timothy.
"Undead Sanctuary, will you submit to the Goddess and Sky Sanctuary?"
Like a dark cloud covering miles of clear sky, Timothy's words carried a terrifyingly powerful aura, instantly permeating the entire sacred ground.
In an instant, it felt as if a massive mountain was pressing down, everyone's heart sinking heavily.
Especially the people of the Undead Sanctuary, facing this immense and terrifying authority, their bodies shook and trembled, as if they wanted to kneel and worship!
The oppressive feeling was so intense that they had no thoughts of resistance, only wanting to escape from this boundless fear.
"Undead Sanctuary... is willing... to submit."
It was unclear who knelt first, but many disciples, gritting their teeth, tried to resist.
Yet suddenly, they realized that even the High Priest couldn't bear the suffocating pressure and bent his back, eventually kneeling on one knee.
"Undead Sanctuary is willing to submit."
"We are willing to submit to the Goddess and Sky Sanctuary."
One by one, figures knelt on one knee, trembling as they knelt toward the figure in the sky.
Some tried to resist, but the overwhelming pressure, along with witnessing the elders and their peers submitting, completely shattered their pride.
One by one, figures nodded and knelt, every stubborn heart thoroughly subdued.
Facing Timothy, floating in the air, everyone in the Undead Sanctuary knelt on one knee.
From everyone's mouth, there was only submission.
"Good, since that's the case, from now on, the Undead Sanctuary will be governed by Goddess Sylvia.
Are there any among the major Sects here who object?"
Holy Maiden Aeliana's authoritative voice rang out, and no one dared to defy her.
The Undead Sanctuary, with its thousands of years of history, was completely subdued at this moment.
And what was even more astonishing and unbelievable to everyone was the oppressive feeling they had just experienced, comparable to the authority of a Holy Emperor.
Was that really the pressure emitted by Timothy?
How could Timothy suddenly unleash such a terrifying oppressive force!
The feeling was incredibly real, yet no one could make sense of it.
The Undead Sanctuary was entirely submissive, and the major Sects were also respectfully silent.
Timothy, holding the Phoenix Blade in the sky, presented a sight that was undeniably awe-inspiring.
But just then, the figure of Zephyra floated over from the distance.
"Envoy Zephyra? Where have you been just now?"
Timothy then remembered that Zephyra seemed to have disappeared for a while.
Zephyra replied, "Goddess Sylvia called me back to Sky Sanctuary for a bit."
"Sky Sanctuary? What did Goddess Sylvia want you to do back at Sky Sanctuary?"
"Goddess Sylvia called me back just to tell me to come and ask you and Holy Maiden Aeliana to return to Sky Sanctuary together."
When mentioning Holy Maiden Aeliana, Zephyra's voice intentionally emphasized a bit more.
"Holy Maiden Aeliana? Wait, could it be!"
Suddenly, Timothy felt a boom in his head.
Zephyra scratched his head, looking slightly puzzled, "I'm not too clear on the specifics, but it seems Goddess Sylvia wanted to inquire about what happened between you and the Holy Maiden in the forbidden area."
"It seems Sylvia is indeed jealous."
Hearing this, Holy Maiden Aeliana gave a coquettish smile.
"You still dare to joke about it, aren't you afraid the Goddess will punish you too?"
Timothy gave her an exasperated look.
Although he hadn't strayed, how could his wife's information network be so efficient!
"This... I..."
Instantly, the usually charming and gentle Holy Maiden Aeliana became timid.
