Chapter 1219: The Vanquez Family’s Hidden Past

It was like receiving a golden ticket to immunity from death.

If he didn’t agree, he’d be a fool.

Rafael was very clear that only by stepping into a broader world would he have more chances to improve himself.

If he stayed in the Erythar Star System, even if he could eventually break through, he likely wouldn’t get far.

He had made his decision as soon as Amalia suggested it—he would sign up without hesitation.

The next day, the royal family opened registration channels for the cultivators.

It wasn’t mandatory, and it was up to people to choose whether to sign up or not.

Duan Yao had been hesitating, but upon hearing that Amalia was going, he no longer had doubts.

If even Amalia was going, it might be a chance to see more, expand his horizons, and possibly improve his stagnant cultivation.

As for Rafael’s behavior of groveling before the two immortals, Duan Yao had considered it too, but unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to impress them.

After that day, Duan Yao had inquired and learned that Amalia had once been from Planet Veloxia, and she’s from the Vanquez family that had been destroyed by massacre.

Amalia had returned this time to find the murderer.

Duan Yao couldn’t help but feel regret—if he had only formed a faction to support him, perhaps Rafael wouldn’t have grabbed this opportunity.

In the Ember Throne Hall, Amalia laid out the information Rafael had given her on the table, her expression heavy.

The fact that video footage from over twenty years ago could still be found—what did that indicate?

It showed that the ones who killed the Vanquez family had come for the Vanquez family specifically.

They had no other agenda, which was why they could be traced back to a cargo ship from over twenty years ago.

Amalia had initially thought it might have been a coincidence, but now it was clear that the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth had a clear target on the Vanquez family.

The data didn’t say why the members of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth had killed the Vanquez family—those who knew the truth had died years ago.

Amalia watched the video sent by Rafael again and again.

The video was under ten seconds long, and the three figures only appeared three times.

Each time, their presence in the footage lasted less than three seconds.

They were highly cautious, spending most of their time where the surveillance couldn’t see them.

Their activities in the underground black market were much more frequent.

The data showed that the three of them had asked around about the Vanquez family and inquired about their situation.

At the time, the Vanquez family had no cultivators, and once these people learned what they needed, they took action the next day.

That day was also the day the Vanquez family was completely wiped out.

If they had been after the Soltice Ring, how did they know the truth about it when even the Vanquez family themselves didn’t?

Amalia suddenly realized she might have missed something—maybe she should look into the Vanquez family’s history.

There might be something to uncover.

With that thought, Amalia stood up and walked out.

Duan Yao had been pacing outside the Ember Throne Hall, trying to find an excuse to get closer to Amalia.

He was hesitant, unsure of how to approach her.

After a long while, just as he was about to gather his courage and knock on the door, a tall figure walked quickly out.

The other person was moving swiftly and didn’t even glance at him.

As they were about to walk past, Duan Yao, in his anxiety, called out to them.

"Ms. Amalia,"

Amalia slowed her pace, furrowing her brow as she looked at Duan Yao.

Her voice was cold. "What is it?"

"Ms. Amalia, you seem in a hurry. Is something wrong?" Duan Yao saw the expression on her face and secretly cursed himself for picking the wrong moment.

He had come at the wrong time, and now he had no way to back out.

"Hmm," Amalia replied briefly.

Duan Yao gritted his teeth. "Ms. Amalia, if you tell me, perhaps I can help?"

Amalia stared at him for a moment. "I appreciate the offer, but it’s not necessary."

With that, she left.

She wasn’t angry, and Duan Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he hadn’t managed to get close to Amalia this time, seeing her urgency meant that something was happening.

If he could lend a hand, he might have a valid reason to approach her again.

Duan Yao immediately decided to go back and investigate the Vanquez family’s situation thoroughly.

The cultivators he had once looked down upon now seemed like a blessing—at least there were people he could rely on.

Rafael had just returned to his residence.

He had barely settled into his chair when one of his subordinates came in to report that Amalia had come looking for him.

He jumped out of his chair in alarm.

She had only just left the Ember Throne Hall, so how could she have arrived so quickly?

Did something go wrong with the information he had provided?

Rafael hurried out.

"Help me investigate something else," Amalia said directly. "I want to know what happened before the Vanquez family was destroyed."

Rafael thought for a moment.

"Ms. Amalia, do you have a specific direction or key point in mind? Otherwise, an aimless investigation might cause us to miss something important."

"It should be related to a treasure that has to do with cultivation. The Vanquez family were not cultivator so hey treated the treasure as a family heirloom. Two years before the massacre, the treasure disappeared."

The current Amalia was different from her previous life.

In her past life, because she had discovered the secret of the Soltice Ring, she hadn’t dared to look for her enemies openly, which caused her to miss many opportunities.

Moreover, she knew very well that only by becoming strong could she have the right to ask for rewards.
