Chapter 1993 - Conference (4) (1/2)
The Ancient Games were an enigmatic collection of three of the most olden forms of competition to ever be created. For as long as anyone could remember, no matter their strength or weakness, no matter their prestige or commonness, the rules of the Ancient Games had always been infallible.
To gather them here for such a meeting, only to begin it in this way… It was almost too much. The gazes of those below were more than a little skeptical. The Heavens were infallible and the Ancient Games were, for the most part, its creations. At the very least, the Ancient Battlefield was. How could it be circ.u.mvented by mere Mortal Plane cultivators like them?
”There's no need for you all to remain skeptical.” King Star's eyes glittered with a knowing light.
At that moment, another figure appeared. Those within the highest tier of the parliament couldn't help but be shocked belief.
For those below, maybe they felt it was only natural that someone invited by the Star Clan was able to evade their senses so easily. However, for those who earned the right to sit amongst the nine most powerful, this matter was something that made them raise their guards to the highest degree.
Even when they thought they couldn't be shocked any further, the appearance of the one who appeared shook them to their cores even more.
It was a little boy. No… Maybe it would be more accurate to describe him as a toddler.
The toddler stood barely a meter tall and could only be labeled as adorable. He had large sparkling white eyes and a short head of white hair, even his robes that seemed a little too big for him were a pristine, unblemished white. Pure and cute might as well be subscripts under this child's name.
”Hello! My name is Apollos. I am –.”
A childish voice rang out. Those below who didn't understand the significance of the sudden appearance of this child tried their best to control their tempers. If they travelled for 10 years for the sake of a prank, even if this was the Star Clan, they'd fight them to the end.
”– A Heaven's Child.”
It was as though a pale of cold water drenched their fury. Those who had been trying to withhold their anger sank into their chairs in shock.
In truth, the concept of a Heaven's Child wasn't exactly wide spread, but who here wasn't privy to their Clan or Sect's most secret files? They were practically known as the puppeteers of history, holding this title even above the Celestial Hamsters.
