Chapter 1213: The Ember Throne Dispute

To the Draconis Empire, Oblivionite was simply a material for high-level mecha production.

However, to her, it was an excellent resource for refining artifacts.

Of course, that was in her past life.

In this life, she had access to materials even more superior than Oblivionite.

Still, using such a rare material just to carve a statue was undeniably extravagant.

And the real extravagance was yet to come.

On the other side, Miralles quickly explained the purpose of their visit.

The Pleiades Star System was inviting powerful people from all star systems to travel to their domain—not only to discuss strategies for expelling the aliens from the Andromeda Universe but also to hold an exchange event under the pretense of diplomatic relations, specifically inviting cultivators from various star systems.

Andromeda Universe was a universe where technological civilizations were still developing.

They had once believed themselves to be strong enough, but the alien invasion had shattered that illusion, revealing that the multiverse was vast and that beings far more powerful than them existed beyond their world.

For their own survival and to repel the alien forces, the Pleiades Star System initiated this grand invitation.

Their special envoys traveled across multiple star systems to escort representatives to their domain.

On the surface, it appeared to be an invitation, but the Pleiades Star System’s stance was undeniably forceful—it was an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Those who declined would have to bear the consequences.

One such consequence was, of course, the ongoing alien invasion.

If they refused to join, they wouldn’t be included in the fight.

And if the aliens eventually devoured their territories, no help would come from Pleiades Star System.

The alien forces were overwhelming, making their ambitions for Andromeda Universe unmistakably clear.

Though they had managed to resolve the immediate crisis in the Erythar Star System, as long as the aliens could continue breaching the barriers between universes, it was only a matter of time before they returned.

And when that time came, no one could guarantee that the aliens wouldn’t send even stronger forces.

Despite the Pleiades Star System’s show of strength, the Emperor did not immediately give them a definitive answer.

Instead, he stated that he would discuss the matter with his ministers before making a decision.

He then had attendants escort the envoys to their quarters.

As he had previously mentioned, Planet Veloxua was still in the process of recovery.

The Emperor would not contradict his own words, so he did not assign them the most luxurious accommodations available.

The captain of the guards was ordered to escort them to their accommodations.

As they passed by an extravagant and grand palace—the largest one—the captain of the guards did not slow his pace.

Jaime, already in a foul mood, grew even more sullen.

"We are envoys from the mighty Pleiades Star System, esteemed guests of the highest honor. What? Does the Draconis King look down on us?"

"You must be joking, honored envoy. His Majesty holds no such disdain for you," the captain of the guards replied coolly, his expression devoid of flattery.

This greatly displeased Jaime, who had been expecting them to grovel.

Did these people from the Erythar Star System really think they could stand on equal footing with the Pleiades Star System?

"If that’s the case, then where exactly are you taking us?" Jaime sneered.

The captain of the guards paused, seemingly confused about why Jaime was upset. "To your accommodations, of course. Just a little farther—only a few hundred meters ahead. We’ll be there shortly."

Jaime let out a cold chuckle. "I want to stay in this palace. There’s no need to go any farther."

The captain of the guards followed his gaze to the palace in question and revealed a strange expression. "I sincerely apologize, honored envoy, but this palace is already occupied by a distinguished guest."

"Oh? Someone’s already staying here? Then all the more reason for me to move in. Have them vacate the premises and make room for us," Jaime commanded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, leaving no room for negotiation.

He had expected the captain of the guards to hesitate at most, but to his surprise, the man firmly refused. "Honored envoy, the palace His Majesty has arranged for you is quite grand as well. It is only slightly below this The Ember Throne Hall in ranking, but it is still among the highest-tier accommodations within the royal court."

"So you’re saying I only deserve second-tier treatment?" Jaime scoffed, enraged.

"I never said that. I am merely stating that The Ember Throne Hall is already occupied," the captain replied evenly, his gaze unwavering.

This envoy, Jaime, must be out of his mind.

He actually dared to fight over The Ember Throne Hall with its current occupant.

Had he spent so much time in the Pleiades Star System that he had forgotten how to restrain himself when stepping onto another’s territory?

Did he not realize that there were always greater forces in the universe?

Miralles was growing increasingly suspicious.

From the Emperor of the Draconis Empire to this low-ranking captain of the guards, not a single one of them had shown any emotional fluctuation when dealing with them.

It was as if they were treating them as mere ordinary guests.

That was highly unusual.

The captain of the guards also had the aura of a cultivator, but his cultivation was so weak it was almost negligible.

For someone to have practiced for so long and achieved so little, his talent had to be abysmal.

And yet, despite standing before three individuals far stronger than himself, he remained completely unfazed.

What they didn’t know was that the captain of the guards had only recently begun his cultivation journey.

This entire Draconis Empire was growing more and more peculiar in Miralles’s eyes.

"Jaime, let it go. We can stay elsewhere," Miralles decided.

He needed to investigate further before acting.

"No. I will stay in The Ember Throne Hall tonight, no matter what. If you people can’t make the decision, I’ll go speak with this ’distinguished guest’ myself," Jaime declare
