Chapter 396: Chapter 246: The Rebellious Great-Grandnephew

"We are gathering troops, preparing to assassinate the Immortal King, to finally end this Undying King!"

Selena did not keep Noah in suspense, directly informing him of what she was preparing to do.

"Are those undead performing a blood sacrifice ritual? Is the Immortal King about to awaken?"

Upon hearing about the matter in which his foster mother was involved, Noah instinctively asked. Otherwise, he really couldn’t understand what kind of situation would warrant taking such a risk; it seemed entirely unnecessary.

The Immortal King was severely injured and slumbering, but not dead, and the place where he slumbered was not some desolate mountainous region or remote corner, but rather he had returned to his Great Graveyard.

As for the essence of the Great Graveyard, Noah had already figured it out long ago. That thing was essentially a floating city belonging to the Undead Race, or rather, it was even more exaggerated than a floating city, similar to the Savior Ark controlled by his angelic wife.

Fragments falling from the Great Graveyard could crash down into a wild area and create an Undead City out of nowhere, even forming an Undead Legion.

Such a phenomenon was enough to demonstrate how special the Great Graveyard was; it was alive in a sense and completely obeyed the Immortal King.

Therefore, the act of sneaking into the Great Graveyard and flipping the Immortal King’s coffin lid was akin to entering a floating city and attacking a Legendary Great Arcanist.

Even if Noah were asked to do this now, he would refuse without hesitation, not even considering it.

One must know that back when his angelic father-in-law, that Blazing Sky Old Deng, gravely injured the Immortal King, he had also carefully chosen a time when the latter was not in the Great Graveyard, rather than ignoring everything.

"That’s not the case, but those undead have started rounding up mortals. The elves see this as a very dangerous signal, indicating that the undead can awaken the Immortal King at any time and then turn the tides."

"What do you think?"

"What do I think? I think while lying down."

Selena snorted.

"Aren’t you preparing to participate in it? Is that considered lying down?"

"Don’t look at me, I’m not the main force in the assassination. The elves merely invited me. I agreed just to watch the spectacle. If things don’t look right, I will definitely run away immediately."

Selena unhesitatingly informed Golden Dragon that she was currently involved in a great spectacle. It was all about eating melon seeds and watching the show; she didn’t intend to participate, let alone give it her all.

For this reason, when she heard that Noah’s dragon cub was about to arrive, this Legendary Mage appeared so annoyed.

This was indeed a difficult choice for her: a child with the Blazing Sky bloodline and Ancestor Dragon heritage was such a rare research subject, no, such a precious grandson.

As a grandmother, she should rush back to take care of them right away—wiping their behind and feeding them—while also studying their scales, hair, and blood, to formulate a more reasonable growth plan for them.

"An elf-assembled team? So who are the main forces in their team?"

Noah already had a hunch that the elves were not merely trying to solve the Undead Calamity once and for all, but it probably also involved internal power struggles.

"You can pretty much guess, can’t you?"

"Parvati?"

"Otherwise, who else in the elves do you think could pose a threat to the Immortal King? Do you expect their Queen or their Great Priest to intervene? Those old folks haven’t left Sain Ferren for at least a few hundred years."

"Why would she be willing?"

Noah couldn’t understand. In the elven camp, Parvati, who received the blessing of the Seven Gods, was indeed the most likely existence to bring down the Immortal King, as long as the Seven Gods were willing to descend.

Parvati, blessed from birth by the Seven Gods, was the most perfect vessel for Divine Descent.

But as a vessel, Parvati also had her own will. Whether she was willing to cooperate was the key to whether the Divine Descent could proceed smoothly.

Noah couldn’t figure out Parvati’s motive to actively attempt the assassination of the Immortal King.

It was entirely unnecessary; without discussing the consequences of failure, even if it succeeded, what could Parvati gain? Boundless glory or possibly being sidelined, if not dismissed?

Without external pressure, internal conflicts would inevitably erupt. As an outsider, Parvati would likely struggle even with numerous followers at the middle and lower levels, when facing the more powerful elven upper-class aristocrats.

"Who knows, if you’re curious, you can go ask her."

Selena didn’t care anymore; as a Legendary Mage, she treated her great-granddaughter as nonexistent.

Although she indeed carried the bloodline of the Augustus family, Parvati, who drew attention from the Seven Gods, had little need for the family, and the family couldn’t rely on her either, unless it was willing to accept the erosion of Divine faith, which was obviously impossible.

"I’ll give it a shot."

Noah realized that even while he had been slumbering for just five years, the era continued to progress steadily, and the changes in the situation were somewhat unexpected; he seemed to be falling behind.

Before he slept, Pavarotti was already overshadowing others in the Elf Court, poised to replace the Elf Queen.

Yet five years later, she was about to become cannon fodder, taking on the duty of assassinating the Immortal King. What on earth had happened in these five years?
