Lord Shadow

Chapter 2128: The Feelings of the People

Why do they sigh when looking at that stair?

It is because all of them know, that right now, no one is flying toward that stair. No one tries to covet this fortune and luck.

Because this fortune and luck are not theirs and it is not something that they could plunder.

It is not that fortune and luck could not be plundered.

When you reach certain realm of power, where conceptual ideas are not merely conceptual but something that could be made tangible with magic, even fortune and luck could be plundered when certain prerequisite is fulfilled

Sometimes, a certain magic is used.

In some method, it would be more direct.

There are stories of how people could rob someone of their superior divine bone and transplanted it into their bodies.

Some transplanted eyes that possess magical powers.

This is the direct way. And then there are some methods that is even more mystical and unbelievable

The harder it is to plunder and steal it, the more it means that the fortune and luck is high

But that stair?

Those same people who could plunder luck and fortune, who could steal all kinds of fortune and luck, could also see the cause and effect of that stairway.

That stairway might seem like it is suspended in the heavens

But to those who could see the cause and effect, they would only see glimpse of it and dare not see further.

Even before they could see further, they could feel the backlash is coming.

The cause and effect of that stairway is not something any mortal could bear.

If they are not the one summoning it, it is better not to be entangled with such complicated, tangled cause and effect

These people that could see these cause and effect might not know the Supremacy Stairway true origin but they were right in thinking that it is not the kind of cause and effect that they could bear.

One glance is enough for them to know this.

So, they only watch the stair in the sky. And they could only smile. Laugh. Cry and sigh.

As for Azief, he is the same as these people right now.

Right now, all of the sounds in the world inn his ears right now seem to be muted. His eyes also did not register the size of the thunderbolts in the distance aiming for him

He did not register the dark clouds in the distance. If he wanted to care, one scan of the entire region would have revealed all of this to him

But he didn’t care

All his senses that he could use now, are all pointed toward that stair

"What should I do?" he seems to be asking himself this question.

Azief don’t know what he should do now.

Should he walk the stairway again?

Is that how this thing supposed to happen?

He doesn’t know.

He never expected that this stairway once again would make an appearance.

Because he could not refer to anyone else. He had never seen how other who reached the Sovereign did it. He could only refer to himself.

"Do what my heart feels like it" he thought to himself. And he believe that he should once again walk on that steps

And the moment he thinks of this, he no longer hesitates. He takes a step and then he appears on the step

And the moment he appears on that stair, everywhere in the world, everyone could see him

All over the world.

And one could imagine the shock in the hearts of everyone

Sasha was already on the sky when the stair appears.

From beginning she had felt that aura. And then the sudden dark clouds, the thunderbolts, the lightning, the storms, the tsunamis, the reports of cosmic clouds, and many other shocking thing that had happened in the past half an hour.

All over the world, there is an unexplained phenomenon.

No one could have foreseen that this is because the breakthrough of a person.

Because the world had become so big that rarely.....no, not once since the world expanded that a person breakthrough affects the entire world

Earth has become so vast that such breakthrough that affects the entire world is a thing of the past

So, when Sasha first got the report, the first thing she was worried about was that there is an alien civilization that is attacking the Earth

She even order a deployment of all the Battlestar near the large meteor fields to scan the entire galaxy

But there was no alien craft.

There is other threats that she had thought about. But when that stairs appears, all of her doubts disappears

She knew then....who is causing all of this.

She remember this stair.

Most people would still remember.

There is even a recording of this. It fetched highly inn the black market mostly bought by people who wanted to see if they could gain something by watching how Death Monarch breakthrough from Disk Formation to Divine Comprehension

And now.....now, there is even that figure in the sky. And right now, the only feeling in her heart is....frustration

"If you were there, if you were watching.....then why didn’t you...." And she shakes her head. She did not understand Death Monarch.

The higher he goes, the more she does not understand him

It is different serving a king. Or an emperor. King or emperor, they are still mortal and their desire, their sights are mortal desire and mortal sight

But how do you serve a god? How could you fathom their actions and the reason for them doing certain things?

You could not.

The more you think about it, the more you stuck in a rut.

Now, only this kind of complicated feeling is left in her heart.

So....she could only sigh.

And she wonders, when Death Monarch returns to assume his throne, would he blame her and punishes her?

Or would he forgive her? Or maybe he would side with Wang Jian and push her as a scapegoat?

Or maybe.....the most terrifying thing of all.....that he simply didn’t care. Now, that is the conclusion she did not want to see.

She could accept being punished; she could even accept if Death Monarch wanted to punish them both.

Punishing them.....means he still cares.

Means he still cares for this world.

But if he did not have any desire and any affection, then the world.....would lose its protector.

And what they have to contend next would be a godlike being that do not have any restraint.

Sasha did not always start like this. She was never a people person. She could care about people. But that is after she cares for herself first.

But she has seen so many people. And she develops a sense of justice. A sense of kindness that is also quite ruthless.

Only after reaching a certain point she understood that there are things more important than just being alive. That there are more important thing than just to survive

That there are more important thing than life itself

She sighs and she prays. Her eyes did not leave that stair

Sasha is not the only one that is looking at that stair with complicated expression.

If Sasha could see him then Wang Jian could also see him.

And he too had that same kind of feeling.

His eyes narrows and he looks at the sky.

But his worries are different and the feeling he felt is different

Sasha is like the secretary for Death Monarch

So, her feelings to Death Monarch is quite different than the feeling of a subordinate like Wang Jian

Wang Jian...is not family

Death Monarch give him the military power, and use him extensively.

And he had done all his job conscientiously.

There is praise, there is rewards, title bestowed. But the distance between them, the distance of heart is far.

Wang Jian did not know how to serve such an apathetic ruler.

It almost seems like the ruler did not care about anything. But he does care about things. He just wouldn’t say it.

And the ruler has plans. But he also never say it

Wang Jian only wonder one thing

Why is it that the ruler has never trusted him enough to share certain things?

He did not have the heart to rebel. The reputation he have is a shackle. But it is only a shackle if he was a cunning man

To him that reputation is not a shackle because he is truly a loyal man

Wang Jian is truly someone who did not have ulterior motive. He is simple.

And in a world full of cunning people, such person is rare, almost like a sheep in a world of wolves.

But he had survived all the machinations of wolves. Relying simply on his talent in military matters

Magical military matters

It’s a new world, and a new kind of military world has opened up.

Wang Jian is the pioneer in this creating the so called military formation that could even contend with powerful beings that exceeded the realm of individual soldiers.

As years passed by, the method of military formation become more and more refined and become even more powerful

Wang Jian is loyal.

He is loyal to Death Monarch.

To Pandemonium, a land he now consider his own home

Yet, not matter how much he is loyal, he never could understand the thought of his ruler.

Does his ruler truly believe in him?

Or does his ruler doubts him?

If he trust him, why not just say something. It is this feeling that made him feel complicated as he is looking at the stair in the sky

And he could not help but sighed. He sighed and then he shakes his head.

So, he stares at the stair, looking at his lord and thinking about all of these question and wonder what would happen after this

One thing that he could say for certain, today, is another pivotal moment in Earth history.

The world will change after this and this is something he acutely feel.
