Volume 4 Chapter 259
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 259: Elizabeth’s Long-Cherished Wish
Before Elizabeth, Xia Yi admitted that through a dream, she had witnessed Elizabeth’s past.
“Through a certain Succubus, I entered your dream. In your dream, I saw your past. I learned that in the Mythic Era, the Silver Dragon Queen Cynthia of that time defeated you. Afterwards, you cooperated with her, intending to create a peaceful—”
“Shut up!!”
Elizabeth’s emotions sounded somewhat out of control.
This was the first time Xia Yi had seen the bad woman lose composure in front of her. In her impression, Elizabeth had never behaved this way before.
“I really don’t understand, Xia Yiyi. Why must you court death when you could just obediently be an obedient little blood bag?”
Elizabeth’s words clearly indicated she was angry.
However, facing that threatening gaze, Xia Yi would not retreat.
In truth, after learning of Elizabeth’s past, she also had some confusion in her heart.
Because in the Mythic Era, Elizabeth had clearly agreed to cooperate with Cynthia, wanting to create a peaceful era.
Yet, after being resurrected in the current era, Elizabeth started a war, leading the Vampire Clan to declare war on all races of this land?
It truly felt incomprehensible.
“Elizabeth, what you are doing now is completely contrary to Cynthia’s path,” Xia Yi said.
“Xia Yiyi, don’t tell me your final means is to use such boring words to persuade me?”
Elizabeth’s gaze gradually turned icy.
“Do you think you are some manga protagonist?”
“I am merely puzzled in my heart. Why are you doing all this? It’s truly unfathomable. Could your pursuit only be this superficial?!”
“…Forget it. I have never needed others to understand me. But since you’re so eager to know, I’ll tell you. In your eyes, perhaps all my actions are to satisfy my own desire for conquest. But in reality, this war is merely a means to achieve a goal. The war itself is not the meaning I pursue.”
After Cynthia’s death, this was the first time Elizabeth expressed her thoughts to another.
Perhaps because Xia Yi was also a silver dragon, she felt it didn’t matter to say it.
“Cynthia is dead. Without a doubt, she is a failure. She died with innocent ideals and infinite regrets.”
“…What?”
Xia Yi’s eyes widened in shock.
She couldn’t believe Elizabeth would evaluate Cynthia this way?
Because she had personally seen what weight Cynthia held in Elizabeth’s heart.
“You’re not just saying this in anger, are you?”
“Anger? I’m not like you, Xia Yiyi, who likes to persist in being stubborn. Do I need to sulk over this for so many eras? This was originally my initial thought,” Elizabeth replied.
Watching Cynthia fall on the snowfield dealt her a powerful blow.
On this land, Cynthia could almost be said to have stood at the pinnacle, there was no one stronger than her.
But even being so strong, invincible, exhausting her entire life and staking her life to realize her dream, she ultimately fell helpless before the flood of fate.
So-called peace, before existences like the Legendary Beasts, remained fragile and powerless.
When Elizabeth accepted Cynthia’s death, it also changed her perspective.
“Even if Cynthia truly realized her dream and brought peace to this land, the final outcome would not change. The Legendary Beasts, born for destruction, descending upon this world, would bring endless calamities. Cynthia sacrificed her own life merely to seal one of those Legendary Beasts. If it were any other King of the Upper Races, they wouldn’t even be able to resist, they would be crushed. So before the Legendary Beasts, what meaning does so-called peace hold?” Elizabeth questioned Xia Yi.
“This…”
Xia Yi really couldn’t refute this point.
Because she had personally experienced what kind of enemy a Legendary Beast was, how impossible it was to defeat…
They were the remnants of the old world, creations born from the world-creating deities of the old world, created for the destruction of all life.
“What if this world is experiencing war? What if this world achieves peace? All life in the world is as fragile as glass. A mere light tap from calamity will shatter it into pieces. Whether it’s the weak struggling at the bottom or the strong standing at the world’s peak, there is no difference between them,” Elizabeth said.
“Although Legendary Beasts exist on this land, they haven’t completely destroyed all life,” Xia Yi said. “Legendary Beasts cannot maintain a wakeful state for long!”
“Ridiculous, Xia Yiyi. Isn’t that line of thinking the way of the weak? Placing expectations on the Legendary Beasts, hoping they will grow tired of killing and fall back into slumber? How laughable.”
Elizabeth sneered.
“In such circumstances, what’s the point of discussing peace or not? It’s like the Sword of Damocles hanging high above all life. Once it falls, countless lives will perish.”
This was what Elizabeth realized before Cynthia’s corpse.
Since then, she has been pursuing immense power.
Stronger than Cynthia, even surpassing the Legendary Beasts, strong enough to…
Control her own destiny.
Not being helpless before the flood of fate, slaughtered like the weak.
After Cynthia’s death, Elizabeth had been pursuing this power.
But until her lifespan reached its end, she still hadn’t been able to reach the realm she envisioned. Ultimately, she did not break her limits.
Thus, the Vampire Ancestor made a decision, to pass down her bloodline, leaving behind her Progenitor’s Blood, hoping that one day in future generations, she would have the opportunity to awaken and pursue this goal anew.
The Divine Authority possessed by a King of the Upper Races can be strengthened by collecting faith power, even evolving to a certain extent.
If a certain King of the Upper Races were to obtain all the faith on this land, to what degree would such Divine Authority evolve?
No one has ever known.
Because in the Mythic Era, this was an impossible event. There was more than one King of the Upper Races possessing Divine Authority.
In the current era, it is also an impossible event. There are no Kings of the Upper Races here who can freely control Divine Authority power.
However, with Elizabeth’s resurrection, she saw possibility.
“This war is merely a means to achieve a goal. When all the faith in the world converges upon me alone, I shall become—a God.”
