The Wolf’s Bride

Chapter 1491

As the head of an ancient martial family, Norvin could easily obtain those things.

However, they could not be considered eternal and unchanging.

In the end, he cautiously responded, “Time?”

“Correct.” Arthur nodded in approval.

His gaze drifted far away into the endless sky outside the cave.

“Ten years observes the passage of seasons. A hundred years attest to birth, old age, sickness, and death. A thousand years lament the rise and fall of dynasties. Ten thousand years witness the shifting of stars.

“People who live to a hundred years are considered to have longevity that is rare, but what is a hundred years in the face of the millions of years of the world? It’s nothing more than the lifespan of a mayfly.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

At that point, Arthur suddenly turned around, his scorching gaze falling on Norvin’s face. “Only with great strength can one break through the limitations of lifespan and surpass everything.

“I have long since stepped onto the Divine Steps. To further ascend, I need to expand my plans to the world.”

The Divine Steps again!

Norvin quickly asked, “What are the Divine Steps?”

“The Divine Steps...” Arthur explained, “It’s the realm after the Martial Saint realm. The Divine Steps are divided into nine stages. After stepping on the first stage following the Martial Saint realm, one

must overcome a heavenly tribulation at each stage. With each stage, one more heavenly thunder will be added during the tribulation.

“At the ninth Divine Step, if one passes through the ninth heavenly tribulation, they will truly step into a completely new world, reaching the realm of cultivating immortality and traversing through the world.

“At that time, one’s lifespan will also be greatly increased. They’ll be able to enjoy the spring flowers and autumn moon at leisure, and discuss the rise and fall of dynasties.”

So, that was what it was.

Norvin could not help but sigh. “Progenitor Emperor, you’ve contributed greatly to Florence throughout your life. You laid the foundation for Florence’s territory and changed the situation of your time.

“It can be said that there’s no other like you, who can shake the very world. Unexpectedly, you now want to scheme against the world and use the world as your chessboard, with the people of Florence as the pieces.”

If those words were mentioned in front of other monarchs, it would undoubtedly be considered lese majeste.

However, Norvin had already seen through Arthur’s motives and ambitions from his words. A scheming figure like him would not care about such reputations.

“Heh...” Arthur laughed softly. “I am using them as pawns, not sacrifices. As long as I’m powerful enough, it’s also a fundamental guarantee for the peace and prosperity of the millions of Florencians.”

Norvin remained silent.

Today’s events had a great impact on him. The founding emperor saved him, a traitor and villain. It was strange no matter how he looked at it.

“Moreover...” Arthur glanced at him and continued, “That old man from the Klein family treated the whole of Florence as his chessboard. He made Vintus Hagstorm and Rigel Ophis chess pieces and calculated everything step by step.

“Their goal was to guide Andrius onto the path of immortal cultivation. If he could do it, why can’t I?”

Those words seemed to be a question to Norvin, but in fact, it was more like asking the vast sky.

As he spoke, a vast and incomprehensible aura spread out. It surged like waves, swallowing Norvin in an instant as if he were a small boat, completely helpless.

At that moment, a mighty wave stirred up in Norvin’s heart.

The Progenitor Emperor was indeed powerful.

Norvin was surprised. He thought that he destroyed the Kleins and seized their treasures. He had even been complacent about it.

However, it was not hard to grasp the implications of Arthur’s words.

All of this was part of the plan of those old men of the Kleins.

How difficult was the path to immortal cultivation?

Nevertheless, the Kleins opened up the path and even escorted Andrius further and further along it.

“Norvin Swallow...” Arthur’s aura was chilling like a king looking down at him from high above. “Are you willing to command the elite troops in my hands?”
