Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 701 - 81: The World of the Divine Spirit

After Rose went to retrieve the [Crimson Kite's Wings], only the languid Elf Empress Yunning and the restless Lin Rui were left in the palace.

The Empress's face and figure were full of the charm of a mature woman, voluptuous and curvy, with a unique allure.

Lin Rui had to admit that this style of woman was something he had never tried before; the dazzling beauties he had intimate relationships with were all virgins.

Lin Rui had never experienced, or even encountered, a married woman like the Empress.

Looking at the Empress's alluring figure, Lin Rui felt parched, no wonder Wei Wu's legacy endures forever.

However, the Elf Empress Yunning was very annoyed now. This little guy had ideas but dared not express them boldly, having the intent of a thief but not the courage, which only irritated her.

So Yunning coldly snorted and said, "Do you think I'm only being presumptuous with Rose? If you keep staring blankly, I'll gouge your eyes out."

Did the Empress take gunpowder?

Lin Rui looked in surprise at the angry Empress. Why did it feel like he was seeing the demeanor of a resentful woman from a deep chamber?

If he were more daring, would the Empress accept him directly?

But then what would he become? A human toy for the Empress?

To fill her emptiness, to massage her?

Thinking this, Lin Rui's longing subsided somewhat.

People, the greatest source of confidence is having more choices.

He, Lin Rui, didn't have to have the Empress; when he returned to the army, he, Lin Rui, had many options to choose from.

There was Audrey, with her suddenly increased charm, enthralling like a former lover. There was also Su Xi, who had just ascended to Tier Seven; he had never experienced the resilience and softness of a Tier Seven physique.

Why be a toy here, to hang oneself on one tree?

So Lin Rui straightforwardly replied, "May Your Majesty wield power and reign for eternity."

Seeing the desire extinguish in Lin Rui's eyes, Yunning felt a bit frustrated again. Was her charm really that low? Why did all the men quickly lose interest in her?

But after all, Yunning was an Empress, and her mind was more on imperial pursuits. Such matters of love between men and women were just fleeting thoughts in her mind, dissipating in an instant.

She asked indifferently, "What do you think of my imperial ambitions?"

Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has devastated three clans with one battle, a truly remarkable achievement, worthy of being called an unparalleled emperor through the ages. The Elves sweeping through the six clans is just around the corner."

"Is that all?" Yunning raised an eyebrow and asked, "Just sweeping through the six clans?"

Unifying a planet is the beginning for many dominant forces! Waging a plane war, expeditions to other realms are very normal events.

Like the Insect Race and Green Skins, once they unify a planet, they would attack other forces.

Some Human Empires even have vast territories with multiple Colonization Stars or Other Planes.

Yunning, frowning, asked, "Do you not think well of me after unifying the Colonization Star?"

Lin Rui shrugged and said, "In the course of history, separation long endured must reunite, and unity long endured must separate. Even if the Forest unifies the Colonization Star, the whole world, as if at its inception, filled with sky-covering towering forests, does not mean the Forest Influence can remain peaceful."

"When the external threats from the Saint Hall, Graveyard, and academies disappear, internal contradictions in the forest will intensify due to the distribution of benefits. Foremost among these are the other races in the forest. Can they allow the Elves to rule the Imperial Court indefinitely? I fear it will divide into several major race wars, and after a millennium, Elves will look at other Mantises, Tree Demons, and such the same way as they do the Saint Hall and Graveyard now. All are not of my kind, their hearts are sure to be different."

"Perhaps the only difference is that the battlefield environment isn't as complex as now; plains, deserts, graveyards have all disappeared, transforming entirely into forest."

Yunning snorted coldly, "Those races are fit to contest with our Elves? They are just insects enjoying the shade under the strong wings of our Elves."

Lin Rui said nonchalantly, "So are the Elves united entirely? Humans are the dominant race of this era, are they not also each harboring ulterior motives? One empire, seven kingdoms, each pulling their weight, is it not a betrayal of the Human Emperor?"

The rationale is clear, humans as a race can split into one empire and seven kingdoms.

Can't Elves divide into a dozen kingdoms?

On the contrary, Elf Empresses are rarely seen. But Elf Queens are quite common!

If it weren't for the World Tree Roots, in theory, every forest in this world would have an Elf Queen.

By then, a dozen Elf Queens vying for power would also be uniquely charming.

If Elves were to split and start a civil war, can you still ensure the Elves' advantage over other races?

Once Elves encounter internal strife like the Eight Princes' Rebellion, it would be the best opportunity for other races to rise and oppress the Elves.

Beautiful female elves might even become breeding tools for other races.

Yunning sighed lightly and said, "You're saying that once I ascend to become a Divine Spirit, internal chaos in the forest is inevitable."

"Not necessarily. If Your Majesty can find a highly competent successor, wise and brilliant, the imperial rule can still be maintained. Or if Your Majesty spares no cost, launching a faith war to slaughter all the Elven deities, leaving only one faith," Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "then the possibility of avoiding internal strife is slight. It might be around six or seven percent."

Yunning glanced at him, her gaze solemnly fixed on the dazzling sky and the World Tree canopy afar, sighing, "So every plane spares no cost to launch plane wars, all Divine Spirits pour their efforts into contending. This is the destiny of war, the foundation of faith's eternal existence, and the core of everlasting enterprise."
