Chapter 1029 575: The Ell Players Association Is Just a Gift?!
Windsor paused. She didn't mention what she had prepared for Richard.
Her eyes moved slightly. She looked at Dark Valkyrie behind him.
"What a unique power…
"You are only one step away from becoming a legend.
"There's no need to rush to break through. Carefully comprehend the power you have now. When you feel that it's enough, you can break through.
"Legend is another domain. The more solid the foundation, the greater the benefits one will receive after reinforcement."
She waved her hand as she spoke. A fist-sized red crystal appeared in her hand.
"If you're willing to accept the power of the great ancient ones, you can absorb the energy sealed inside after you break through to transcendent…"
Dark Valkyrie looked at the elegant figure before her with a solemn gaze.
She sensed a danger ten thousand times stronger than the Grand Duke of Frostwolf in Solan City's lady before her.
She would not have the slightest confidence in winning if the Grand Duke of Frostwolf attacked with all his might, but the lady before her was like a god walking in the mortal world.
Just a glance was enough to make her soul tremble uncontrollably.
That was not a mortal at all.
Compared to him, the legendary ascetic Grand Duke of Frostwolf was like a grain of rice compared to the bright moon.
Dark Valkyrie did not answer but turned to Richard.
Richard opened the attribute panel and glanced.
The Stone of the Ancient Ones
[Level: Special]
[Description: One has sealed the surging power of the ancient ones inside.]
Richard's thoughts spun. He slowly nodded.
"Thank you, Chairman Windsor, for your gift."
Dark Valkyrie nodded slowly. She cupped her hands on her chest and took the red stone.
She felt a surge of power as powerful as the sun when she held it.
An ancient aura accompanied it.
It could wipe dozens of streets around it.
Windsor's expression softened.
The gift was a signal that Richard had accepted it. That meant that he could get involved with the ancient ones.
She did not know that something must have drenched the god's ancient tree in blood on the day of the Crimson Moon. It had absorbed a lot of the power of the ancient ones and obtained benefits.
Moreover, this thing was a gift. It would be a waste not to take it.
Windsor's mood improved a little. She did not stay any longer. She led the few of them into the main building of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
She took the alchemy elevator to the office on the top floor. Windsor sat elegantly on the sofa by the window.
The sofa with a white wool cushion immediately caved in under the pressure of her perky buttocks.
Her tight-fitting red dress became even tighter when she straightened her back. Her shockingly voluptuous figure perfectly revealed her feminine charm.
Richard sat across from Windsor and stared at her.
A short white round table separated them.
Vale sat down on Richard's left side. He had been reckless while Dark Valkyrie stood behind him like a statue.
Windsor saw the admiration in Richard's eyes. She felt a little uncomfortable.
She leaned back on the sofa and covered part of her body before what she felt disappeared.
She stared at the handsome young man and said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Recently, Lord Richard's various operations are very admirable. He consolidated the Ell Plane, taking in the Grace Mainland Lords and establishing a [Trading Market]. Every single one of them was so eye-catching.
"Right now, the reputation of the God Slayer Qingqiu has probably spread throughout the entire Mortal Plane."
God Slayer! Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry when Windsor said this.
Outsiders did not know that he was the one who killed the Greed Lord. But how could Windsor not know?
She was the chairperson of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce in name. The Crimson Moon Lord in secret, and the main character of the new expansion pack who had taken action!
"I'm just borrowing the glory of Chairman Windsor.
"The Ell Players Association isn't borrowing my power…"
Windsor's eyes narrowed, and her tone became serious.
"Lord Richard, what are your plans for Ell?
"You should know that as the [Trading Market] of the Grace Mainland Lords, Ell will have a vast impact!"
Richard's deep gaze met the woman's eyes as she spoke.
"Chairman Windsor, I should be asking you."
That startled Windsor.
"Ask me?"
He spoke playfully.
"I do not rule the Ell Plane."
Richard spoke slowly.
"I've told you the planar power favors the Grace Mainland Lords.
"In the battle between the ancient and modern gods, the planar power will side with the Grace Mainland Lords."
As he spoke, his gaze did not move anymore. He stared at the perfect face in front of him.
"The Ell Players Association has gathered the top guilds among the Grace Mainland Lords."
"We can influence the Grace Mainland Lord with their power."
Windsor subconsciously sat up straight and stared blankly at the charm-filled young man. He attracted the attention of the entire Mortal Plane.
Thousands of waves calmed her heart.
Her heart thumped faster as she spoke in a hoarse voice.
"You mean…"
Richard nodded slowly.
"I didn't think much about integrating Grace Mainland Lords. I would have done it long ago if I wanted to. But then I met Chairman Windsor. I think it's time to make a change."
"This power… My gift to you, Chairman Windsor."
Vale felt a chill down his spine.
He turned to look at Richard's side profile and fell into an inexplicable state.
It stirred up the winds and clouds of the world and made countless people look askance at it. Just one. A present?
Then, he looked at the red figure with envy and amazement.
Lord Richard, this is shocking!
Windsor's mind buzzed at this moment. Her thoughts were somewhat sluggish.
The other party had done so much. Had Richard done it for Windsor?
She wouldn't even look at any empty ambition, but Richard had done it.
It had made the Ell Players Association and the [Trading Market] the focus of the entire world.
The other party stood up and told her such circumstances did not interest her.
He had done so much just to give her a gift.
Who could withstand this?
Strange emotions filled the air.
Windsor felt that one had shattered her usual calmness and indifference.
This handsome figure was in front of her alone, and her mind incessantly repeated what she had just said.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But she realized that all words seemed to be useless at this moment.
The other party's gift far exceeded her expectations. It was too precious.
Richard gave the woman some time to recover and continued.
"The Ell Players Association will fully cooperate with you, Chairman Windsor.
"These guilds will stand firmly in the old camp.
"Fight together with you and me.
"However, all the Grace Mainland Lords needed to experience the benefits of joining the old camp to reach this level, Chairman Windsor.
"This is something I can't do. I need you to solve it."
He paused for a moment before he continued.
"Chairman Windsor, after the Crimson Moon rose, the stones of the ancient ones have been silent for too long.
"We should arrange the next step of the operation after such a long time of preparation.
"How do you need me to cooperate?"
He needed to know what the Crimson Moon would do next so that he could adjust the direction of the development of Twilight City.
No one was willing to go the opposite way from the main character of the new expansion pack, a top-tier boss who could kill gods like a killer.
But cooperation was also a genuine cooperation.
He and Windsor were already on the same boat when he relied on the ancient god statue.
Moreover, he would not hesitate to bet on Windsor with their relationship, even if he had to choose a side again.
The gods knew who he was. Windsor was his uttermost trump card.
Fortunately, he had already established a close relationship with the other party before one revealed this trump card.
Windsor took a deep breath and suppressed rising and falling emotions in her heart. She forced herself to focus on serious matters.
She spoke seriously.
"The planes that hide the power of the stones of the ancient ones are all connected to the Mortal Plane.
"The rules of the Mortal Plane activate the power of the stones of the ancient ones that once made the world work.
"When all the powers of the stones of the ancient ones return to the Mortal Plane, it will be the time for us to take action.
"It won't be too late. We'll know in three months at most."
There was an unprecedented heat in her eyes as she spoke, and the rest of her words made Richard's scalp tingle and his entire body tremble.
"At that time, something will strip the power of the gods!
"They will all clear the rules they control, the authority the gods wield, and the divine titles they possess!"
"The world rules will return to the beginning of the "Shining Era."
"This day will be Twilight City of the gods. And the last time before the new era begins!"
"Those gods who disappeared will fall back to the Mortal Plane.
"Until someone regained his authority and became a god again… At that time, it would be a "Shining Era."
Richard stared blankly at Windsor. It was like he was on a pilgrimage.
The emotions in his heart surged like waves.
The Crimson Moon had been quiet for several months. But it would not stop just like that.
However, he did not expect Windsor to play so big this time!!
The laws of the Mortal Plane activated the power of the stones of the ancient ones. That would cause something to strip the gods of their authority and fall to the mortal world!
The Twilight City of the Gods. That was the last light of the "Shining Era."
Richard took a few deep breaths. He couldn't suppress the horror in his heart.
This news was so explosive that he found it hard to accept.
Then, the Mortal Plane might fall into the flames of war if everything were true.
The gods were not just the Gods of the Good and Lawful Faction, the evil gods of the bottomless abyss, the Death Lord of the Death Plane, and the Devil Lord of 90% of hell. They were all gods who wielded authority!
These terrifying existences would also return to the Mortal Plane.
