Austin’s perception of his body while in the room continued into the night.

After making sure that there were no abnormalities within his body, he opened his eyes again.

After a day, he had accepted the fact that he had come to this magical world.

Although Austin also wanted to return to Earth right now, it was obviously not feasible before he recovered his Celestial Emperor powers.

The first thing he had to do now was to survive here and slowly consolidate his nine divine powers so that he could finally break through the void and return to Earth.

While thinking about this in his heart, Austin allowed his mind to move out again.

As the Celestial Emperor, he had long developed an extremely cautious character during his thousands of battles in the Tian Xuan Land.

After arriving in an unfamiliar place, he naturally had to figure out the situation around him first.

A wisp of his spiritual sense immediately spread out from the room, sensing everything within his surroundings.

Wherever the spiritual sense passed by, Austin could clearly see everything in his mind, down to even a single leaf falling in the courtyard.

Through the sounds he managed to capture, he had definitely been able to get a clearer understanding of the situation around him.

Right now, he was in the Nolan family’s territory, the leader of the three great families in the Seth Kingdom.

Furthermore, the place where he was staying now was the guest room where the daughter of the Nolan family’s head used to entertain her friends.

Naturally, the daughter of the head of the Nolan family referred to Christina. 

It was also at this moment when he heard a sudden series of clanking sounds that attracted his attention.

It turned out that there was a group of people carrying mops and buckets walking around the courtyard.

Judging from the way these people were dressed, they were probably servants who had just finished their work and were going back to their rooms to sleep.

After knowing that these people were servants, Austin did not pay any attention to them.

However, just as Austin was about to retract his divine sense, a discussion suddenly caught his attention.

“I heard that our young miss was called to the main hall again today, right?”

“Yeah, sigh. With the personalities of the other young misses within our family, our own young miss will definitely be ridiculed again.”

“Johann, be careful with your words! If your words are heard by the other young misses or their servants, they will break your jaw!”

“Yes, yes!”

The straightforward servant immediately shut his mouth.

However, the atmosphere had already been tainted.

Soon, one of the servants sighed and said helplessly, “It’s our young lady’s fault for being the eldest daughter and not having any talent for cultivation like the rest of us.”

“With the Madam’s death, the young lady no longer has anyone to support her. She can only be looked down coldly by those young ladies on the side and just be ridiculed.”

“Sigh, perhaps I would have broken down a long time ago if I were the young miss.”

Hearing this group of servants talking about Christina who had brought him home yesterday, Austin immediately focused his attention on the conversation.

The servants had been busy for a whole day. This night-time conversation was also a rare time for them to kill time.

As these people talked more and more, Austin gradually understood the overall situation.

The story started with the Nolan family that Christina hailed from. 

As the Nolan family’s eldest daughter, her father, Lance, was a count with the Seth Kingdom. He had the strength of a third-tier mage.

Although his strength did not seem high, he was already one of the strongest people in this small kingdom.

It was due to this that the Nolan family was able to become the leader of the three great families in the Seth Kingdom.

Other than that, the other two great families of the Seth Kingdom were the Ingrid family and the Murphy family.

These two families also had extraordinary strength. The heads of each family had the strength of a second-tier mage. They were almost on the verge of becoming third-tier mages.

Recently, their positions had changed a little.

The Landry continent was considered a world where strength was respected.

As long as they could become the most powerful family in the Human Imperial City, they could monopolize most of the businesses within it.

Hence, the other two families had always regarded the Nolan family as a thorn in their side.

No matter what, they were always thinking about how they could replace the Nolan family to take the top position in Seth’s Human Imperial City.

For this reason, the Ingrid and Murphy families had secretly used many different underhanded methods against the Nolan family but they all proved ineffective.

This situation continued until four years ago.

When the younger generation of each family had reached the age of fourteen, they had to undergo a test to figure out their magical talents and enter the Magic Academy to cultivate it further.

This caused a big problem for the Nolan family.

This was because the Nolan family’s eldest daughter…had an innate magical power score of zero!

What did this mean?

On the Landry continent, an ordinary person usually had about three points of innate magic power and very few people had more than 10 points. However, as long as they could awaken their innate magic power, they would qualify to enter the Magic Academy for cultivation even if they only had one point. 

Since Christina’s innate magical power was zero, it meant that she would never be able to become a mage no matter how hard she tried. 

As mentioned before, strength was the most important thing in the Landry continent.

Around this time, it was time for the older generation to retire and the new generation to take over.

Therefore, Christina became the main target of the two families.

Whether it was mocking her in the open or in the dark, it didn’t matter.

In short, Chris suffered a lot in their hands.

However, the ridicule from the outside world was nothing.

What was important was that Christina’s own status within the Nolan family had also plummeted.

Even her father Lance, who had high hopes for Christina in the beginning, became cold toward her after he learned about this.

After Christina’s mother died, this situation was magnified to the extreme.

It was not only her father, but the rest of the family also became cold toward Christina.

Those who had been chasing after Christina and envied the other young masters who had been courting her had also started to sneer and mock Christina.

However…

Chris had never complained to anyone despite the situation. She only lived alone with her attendants.

She knew very well what it felt like to be looked down upon and treated coldly.

Hence, from time to time, she would take out her savings that had already been reduced by quite a bit and let the servants prepare free porridge for the poor people in Seth’s royal city.

All the people at the bottom of Seth Kingdom’s food chain knew how kind this girl was

However, there was nothing they could do. With their status, they couldn’t help Christina.

They could only feel sorry for her.

After gathering all this information, this was the first time Austin learned that the girl who had been chatting with him during the day had actually gone through such a tough experience.

After experiencing all this, she did not think about how to take revenge on the people around her. Instead, she thought about people like himself, giving food to the poor for free.

Moreover, he could see how pure Christina was as she had brought him to her home when he was unconscious. 

“Poor woman. If she had awakened her innate magical powers back then, not only would her current situation be different, she would have a much better future and definitely have some achievements in her future. It’s a pity…”

Austin slowly opened his mouth and shook his head slightly.

That was how the world worked. No matter where one went, strength was the most important. If one did not have strength, then it did not matter how kind or pure they were.

In the end, she could only be mocked by the people around her.
