Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily)
Chapter 1442 My Master Is Emperor EastmountWhen Lilly realized that she was in the Heavenly Court, she was astonished. "Have I... reached the heavens? Not only have | reached the heavens, but I've also taken everything that belonged to Hera and the Jade Emperor!" she exclaimed. Confused, she asked, "If this is the Heavenly Court, then where are Hera and the Jade Emperor? Don't tell me you belong to them?" The palace spirit was at a loss for words. "Where on earth are the Jade Emperor and Hera? Is she imagining things?" it wondered. Its hairy legs trembled in the breeze, and after a series of gestures, the palace spirit finally explained everything in detail.
It turned out that a long time ago, a Great Emperor from the Underworld had placed it there. "But he abandoned me," Speedy, the palace spirit, sadly gestured. "He cut off contact with me, saying that a new master would come to take me away." Before leaving, the Emperor also placed all the valuable treasures he could find in the palace. Since he claimed he would never return, he left these items for the next owner.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Emperor had been gone for thousands of years, and Speedy had been waiting there for a long time. It had waited so long that it had forgotten what the Emperor even looked like. Finally, Lilly arrived.
Lilly exclaimed, "Am I the first one to be here?" The palace spirit on top of its speedy legs nodded, confirming that Lilly was indeed the first one to arrive.
Lilly found it strange, though. "But the last time | came, the palace doors were tightly shut. This time, they're open, and all the things inside the palace have disappeared. | thought someone had taken them..." A few hairs on Speedy's legs shook in the wind as the spirit shook its head, indicating that this was not the case. "The palace outside is just the physical form of the palace. This is the interior space of the palace. Valuable items are not placed outside; they are hidden here," it explained. "My master said that only those who have mastered the order of time and space can enter. Only those who can enter are qualified to take these things, and only those who can enter will be my new master..." Suddenly, it had a realization. "No, wait a minute. My new master is the one who can enter. Doesn't that mean the girl before me is my new master?" This realization struck the palace spirit like a thunderbolt.
Lilly also stared at the palace spirit in astonishment, and they looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
The palace spirit exclaimed excitedly, "Where is my master?” Lilly asked, "Which Great Emperor is your master?" She remembered what her father had said—that the five Emperors had left something for her. At the moment, the things she had already obtained were the items stored by her father in his palace and the items hidden by Emperor Greenbow in Mount Cape. "This is the third Emperor... | really want to know who it is. If | get the chance in the future, | have to thank them for such generosity." Then, she saw Speedy shaking its head and gesturing, "It's Emperor Eastmount.” Lilly widened her eyes. "So, it was Emperor Eastmount!" As the most powerful of the Five Emperors of the Underworld, the things left behind by Emperor Eastmount were indeed impressive. There was not only the immortality stone but also the "paint" that could help in cultivating spirit consciousness. And besides, it was here that she learned the order of time and space! "He said he would never come back?" Lilly's feelings were mixed. Her elders were all very kind to her, giving her many things and helping her a lot. She learned golden runes from Blake, which allowed her to construct teleportation formations and escape danger several times using teleportation formations and Concealing Formations. She also learned spirit consciousness from the Earth Goddess, which enabled her and Ivan to win against the black-robed man in battle. She obtained the immortality stone from Emperor Greenbow and learned about the difficult times everyone had gone through in the past to break free from constraints. She also managed to cultivate the sea of stars spirit consciousness with the help of the immortality stone.
It seemed that everything was interconnected. The previous gains and skills she had learned propelled her to the bottom of the pond, where she finally learned the order of time and space.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Thank you, Uncle Eastmount,” Lilly said with a sigh. Then, she asked, "Are you leaving with me now?" To her surprise, Speedy refused.
Lilly nodded, finding it both unexpected and reasonable. As a magical artifact that once belonged to Emperor Eastmount, Speedy had seen such a powerful Great Emperor before. So, it was difficult for it to acknowledge a master weaker than Emperor Eastmount.
A magical artifact with a spirit usually had a sense of pride, just like how Dragon Fang was initially unwilling to follow her.
"Although you won't come with me, I'm taking these things with me! | need them," Lilly said sincerely. "If | become successful in the future, | will repay you tenfold." Speedy was speechless. "Can this little girl afford it? Those things were left by my master, Emperor Eastmount, who is the most powerful person in the entire Underworld. But my master said that these things are given to those who can come here. So, in other words, these things also belong to her." Speedy had no reason to stop Lilly from taking those things, and it wouldn't stop her either. It was extremely obedient to its master. Although its master had abandoned it, it still wanted to wait there for his return.
The sad atmosphere gradually spread, and a few hairs on Speedy's legs began to sway in the wind. It felt miserable, wondering why its master had abandoned it and why he had said that he would never return. "Is my master already dead? Am | placed here for my own safety? I've heard my master say that today's Manifestation of God's will has become a shackle. No one is able to break free from it, and everyone will ultimately be reduced to a plaything. Could it be that... my master was killed?" In the midst of its sorrow, it suddenly heard the girl say, "By the way, you don't need these clouds, right? Can | take them with me?" Speedy, on the verge of tears, was stunned.
