The phenomenon in the sky disappeared as if it was an illusion.

In the courtyard, Ye Tian stared at the sky for a long time until a servant ran over.

He looked at him and asked, “What happened?”

The servant replied: “Lord Mage, His Majesty requests an audience outside.”

Needless to say, Ye Tian knew that it was definitely because of the phenomenon in the sky.

He said directly: “No, let him go back.”

The servant agreed and hurriedly ran back to inform the Monarch of Ye Tian’s attitude.

Outside the door, the Monarch looked deeply at the manor. An inexplicable color flashed across his eyes as he turned around and left quickly.

Anyone who was familiar with the Monarch knew that the Monarch’s expression was extremely bad. It was an explosive that could be detonated with the slightest touch.

However, Ye Tian did not care about that at all. What he was thinking about was where to go next.

Previously, he had stayed in Maple Forest City mainly to accompany Annie. Now, she had already been brought to the Upper Realm.

Without any worries, Ye Tian did not even pack his luggage and left the capital silently.

Almost everyone in Maple Forest City saw the people from the Upper Realm this time and knew that they had entered Ye Tian’s residence and left after a day and night.

As the news spread, Ye Tian realized that the power gathered by Peyroux’s Heart had increased significantly.

Ye Tian stopped along the way and spent a year traveling through most of the world. In the end, he chose a quiet-looking mountain and entered seclusion there.

Time passed and the situation in the Lower Realm continued to change without stopping after Ye Tian’s disappearance.

The first was the Monarch of the Red Moon Empire. Ever since he left Ye Tian’s residence, he had secretly gathered a large group of craftsmen.

What this Monarch wanted to do was very simple. Since he could not master powerful magic, he would change his method.

Under the power of rewards and punishments, after a long period of torture, the craftsmen finally discovered a special ore that could ignore the power of magic.

The craftsmen made this ore into a weapon. Coupled with the huge crossbow that required five people to control, they created an extremely powerful weapon.

After experiencing a few battles, this weapon, named the God-Exterminating Crossbow, played an extraordinary role. No matter how powerful the opposing mage was, even if he could withstand an army of ten thousand, as long as he dared to expose himself, he would be killed by an arrow.

After experiencing actual combat, the Monarch of the Red Moon Empire finally felt the power in his hands. He became unscrupulous and his actions became more and more brutal.

In the 20th year of Ye Tian’s disappearance, the Lower Realm encountered an unprecedented natural disaster. First, it was a flood, then a drought.

As a result, a large amount of food was damaged, and countless people could not even fill their stomachs.

Under such conditions, the Empire’s officials continued to oppress the people. The Monarch even mobilized a large number of people and held an extremely vast parade, saying that it was to appease the people.

However, on the way, the Monarch ordered the soldiers to kill the refugees blocking the way several times.

Immediately, all sorts of rumors about the Monarch’s brutality quickly spread.

In the third year after the natural disaster, there were uprisings in many places in the Red Moon Empire. The citizens and mages joined spontaneously in order to resist the Monarch’s brutal rule.

The Monarch, who thought that he had great power, did not notice anything wrong when facing those people. Instead, he mobilized his army to suppress them.

Furthermore, the Monarch had set up an extremely strict punishment system, causing many people in the army to feel angry.

The resistance lasted for five years. The entire world’s army finally arrived at Maple Forest City and surrounded the entire city.

In the palace, a servant scrambled in and said to the drunk figure in front of him.

“Your Majesty, all the rebels have arrived at the city…”

The Monarch sat up. His eyes were swollen and lifeless. When he stood up, his body swayed left and right, as if he could not stand steadily.

He staggered to the attendant and raised his leg to kick him.

“Bullsh*t, how can mere traitors attack us? Someone, push out my God-Exterminating Crossbow. I’m not even afraid of Mage Ye Tian, so why would I be afraid of a few traitors… Hmm, what’s going on outside? It’s so noisy. Hurry up and get someone to take a look. Kill whoever is noisy!”

The servant who was kicked got up and knelt on the ground.

“Your Majesty, the rebels have already attacked. It’s not too late for you to run now. Let’s go.”

At this moment, the Monarch seemed to have been electrocuted. His eyes became clearer as he saw the figures rushing in with swords hundreds of meters away. He also saw the guards who were constantly being slashed.

How, how was this possible?

‘Why did you turn against me?’

‘I’ve already forged the God-Exterminating Crossbow and am not even afraid of Mage Ye Tian. I’m already the strongest person in this world. What right do they have to go against me?!’

The Monarch was in disbelief. In his heart, the most terrifying person would always be Ye Tian. Hence, he used all sorts of methods to create the God-Exterminating Crossbow that was said to be able to kill a Great Magister.

This way, even if Ye Tian returned in the future, he would not have anything to fear.

Furthermore, he had lost his reverence and was the Monarch of the empire. This identity made him act more ostentatiously and he no longer had to worry about any consequences.

“No, it’s not over yet. I-I’ll go beg Mage Ye Tian. He’s the Imperial Preceptor of the Red Moon Empire. He once saved the empire. He definitely won’t sit back and do nothing.”

At the critical moment, the Monarch did not even put on his shoes. He staggered towards the room where the previous Monarchs were placed.

In the middle of the house, there was no memorial tablet for the past rulers. Instead, there was a statue of Ye Tian. This statue was about the same height as Ye Tian and the details were handled very well. It looked lifelike.

From this, it could be seen how important Ye Tian was to the Red Moon Empire during Noxia’s era.

“Mage, mage, please save my Red Moon Empire. Those traitors are about to attack. Quickly show yourself.”

The Monarch with disheveled hair no longer had any image. He cried and kept kneeling on the ground.

However, he did not hear Ye Tian’s reply and only heard the approaching slaughter and chaotic footsteps.

The Monarch suddenly got up and swept all the offerings in front of Ye Tian’s statue onto the ground as though he was crazy. He climbed up and planned to topple Ye Tian’s statue.

At this moment, an arrow shot from his back and pierced through the Monarch’s body.

The Monarch collapsed in front of Ye Tian’s statue. His eyes gradually lost their color as he stared unwillingly and hatefully at the expressionless face on Ye Tian’s statue.

A burly man walked in in the lead. The surrounding people looked at him with respect.

The man glanced at it and instructed, “Move the other things out. Be careful not to touch Mage Ye Tian.”
