“Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce will take care of these people. We can proceed with the second phase of our plan when it comes to the Holy Kingdom.” Xu Yuan took a deep breath.

The impending battle between the sects and the Crimson Moon was about to happen.

Preparations must be made in advance. The Holy Kingdom remained firmly in control for now.

“Stirring up a conflict between the First and Second Princes isn’t difficult, but how can we ensure the smooth ascension of the Third Prince to the throne?

Moreover, there are five more princes behind the Third Prince.”

Timo was a bit worried.

“In my eyes, Jia Wen has no competitors.” Su Wan smiled as though she was amused.

If the royal family didn’t perish due to the power struggle, it would all be meaningless. The four Grand Dukes had shown their cards. Would they simply let Jia Wen manipulate everything?

These individuals were the main Lords!

The competition for the throne wasn’t just a battle among the princes. It was also a war among the groups backing them.

With Su Wan standing behind Jia Wen, the competitors were inconsequential because Su Wan had Nami backing her.

My Lord, should we participate in the battle between the Crimson Moon and the sect?” Timo asked.

Considering the current strength of the Crimson Moon, the chances of the sects winning the battle seemed almost certain.

The sects had accumulated Lords and heroes over many years, unlike the Crimson Moon.

As the steward of the territory, Timo was privy to more secrets than most, and Xu Yuan had never hidden anything from him.

“The Crimson Moon might lose. But who told you that the sects would win? This war will mark the beginning of the Twilight of the Gods,” said Xu Yuan in intrigue.

“Based on the information we currently have, it’s highly unlikely for the Crimson Moon to win.” Timo was puzzled.

Xu Yuan fell silent for a moment and recalled the message Nami had sent half a month ago: “The territory must not participate in this war.”

This was the beginning of the hunt for the gods, and those who stepped into the Crimson Moon would be doomed.

The moment the sects’ army set foot in the Crimson Moon, the war would already be over.

What the Crimson Moon wanted was not a victory over the enemy. Rather, it was only to make the enemies venture into the Crimson Moon territory.

Timo felt a shiver run down his spine.

What will happen when the enemy steps into the Crimson Moon? If such a scenario unfolds, one can’t imagine the extent of the changes that will follow in the planes.

The shift in the situation wouldn’t be determined by anyone’s will. Nonetheless, as time passed, the conflict between the Crimson Moon and the sects intensified and pushed it to the edge.

In this battle of factions, numerous Lords suffered losses daily. They lost their territories or ended up dying in battle.

Especially after the introduction of the faction score system, the intensity of their clashes escalated further.

Killing members of the opposing faction granted points, and these points could be exchanged for various high-level treasures within their respective factions.

Lords who stood out amidst fierce competition grew stronger and received generous rewards.

The war and bloodthirst soared in the main Plane.

Everyone speculated when the final war would commence.

In the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce and Lavender Business Guild in Canglan City, an item called the “Magic Music Box” appeared for sale.

It was initially overlooked, but the product quickly garnered attention when the shopkeepers opened the music boxes and played the magical sound tapes. It became the focus of all customers and passersby.

Felix was an ordinary commoner. He was young and strong. However, because of his low talent, he hadn’t been able to become a hero.

He worked as a porter for a mid-sized guild and possessed great physical strength as a warrior. Countless individuals like him could be found in Canglan City.

As the lowest tier of laborers, his life wasn’t easy. He could endure physical labor, but the inner emptiness after a day of intense work was unbearable.

For this reason, the prostitutes in the dark part of the city knew him by name because of his frequent visits.

Today, Felix completed his cargo transport task ahead of schedule. He was allowed to leave work early.

Rumors of an impending battle were circulating everywhere, and it speeded up the circulation of goods and increased the number of porters hired. Otherwise, these tasks would extend until nightfall.

He declined his coworkers’ invitation to dinner. He hummed a light tune and headed to a nameless alley.

‘I wonder if Molly will be wearing those lace panties tonight…’

No matter what, he was determined to have a joyous evening!

Images floated into his mind, and he felt an anticipation building within him.

Every time he finished a task, his emotions would surge. Even though his days were mundane. He relished the little burst of motivation and joy he felt occasionally.

“Master Felix, it’s been a while since you’ve come for tea. Would you like to taste the new batch of tea we’ve acquired tonight?”

“Oh my, you haven’t visited our place in two weeks. You should come for a visit.”

The prostitutes on the street called out to him as Felix walked past with his head held high. This was his favorite part.

As long as he had enough money, they greeted him with the most amiable smiles. This was the treatment that guild porters couldn’t normally receive.

He enjoyed this place, as well as the smiles from each beautiful woman who greeted him.

Amidst playful interactions with these scantily dressed women, he headed deeper into the alley.

He reached a small courtyard with no signboards.

Usually, people were always walking in and out of this place. To his surprise, the courtyard was empty today.

Felix entered the house. He walked to the main hall.

The scene before him astonished him. More than twenty women were all sitting together. They were looking curiously at the round box placed on the table.

“Molly, can this box really produce sound?”

“I’ve heard that elven music boxes cost several thousand rare resources. This one cost only 1000 rare resources. Could it be a fake?”

“Let’s listen and see how it is…”

“What’s going on? Aren’t we doing business today?” asked Felix.

Everyone in the room turned to look at him. When they saw Felix, they laughed.

“It’s Master Felix. It’s only 5 o’clock now. You’re really working hard to find the time to come here so early. Regulars usually don’t visit in the afternoon. The evening is supposed to be for business.”

Felix liked the people here. They were all professional and good at what they did.

He took a step closer to look at the exquisite box with carvings on the table. It looked quite valuable.

“What is this thing?” he asked.

“This is the Magic Music Box that Molly just bought. It’s said to be similar to the legendary elven music box and can play beautiful music.”

“But unfortunately, it seems that Molly was fooled. We’ve tried for a while, but no sound came out.”

As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Felix had broad experience and knowledge, even if his status at work wasn’t high..
