845 Stirring Up the Legendary Plains!
At this moment, Whiteness's cute face was almost eclipsed with gloominess. His white eyes were swirling with raging fury, which he suppressed with a great degree of control because he knew that if he let his anger surface, the consequences for both the middle galaxies and himself would be unimaginable.
Eliza, standing a few meters away from him, kept her head low as she trembled under his chilly glare.
The reason for Whiteness's current mood was simple: unexpectedly, the Path of Legend had been closed, and it happened before they could achieve Whiteness's task yet again.
Not only that, but Eliza was the first one to know because she had been spying on the participants on the path of legend when they abruptly teleported out of the path.
Furthermore, what shocked Eliza was that the participants didn't return like they always had. In the past, whenever the path of legend opened, the Legendary Kings used ancient altars crafted by a secret blueprint that actually originated from the Higher Plains.
This altar was special because it could only be operated by the Legendary Kings. It was specifically used to send a limited number of participants in the Path of Legend, and apparently, that was its only use. But the conditions to use it were that the Path of Legend had to be opened first with a legendary key by any lesser galaxy.
Anyway, this altar also ensured that when the participants teleported out of the Path of Legend, they would always teleport in the vicinity of this altar. Not only that, but the participants could also take the people of lesser plains with them as long as they were holding them or in contact with them.
However, this time, nothing like this happened, and instead of returning to their respective teleportation altars, the participants were randomly teleported all over the legendary plains.
This usually happened to only the people of the lesser galaxies who weren't in contact with the people of the middle galaxies. Many of them ended up dead like this, and very few survived, especially if they were teleported to some forbidden region of the legendary plains.
Eliza had no idea why the Path of Legend was so different this time, and all these mysterious and uncanny events pointed to the person who was gathering the legendary keys and evading her Inner Espy Vision.
She had already pinpointed one of the Cardinal Spirit Temple's participants with her soul totem sigil and vision and sent her envoy to fetch him. Although she could spy on someone, she could only see, not hear.
She wanted to know what had transpired there, especially when everything was going according to Whiteness's plan. They were so close to completing the ritual that they could entrap the person who was going against them.
Afterward, she came here directly to report despite knowing Whiteness wouldn't like it. She had no other choice but to do so since if she delayed it, he'd only be more annoyed with her and might really move against her in his rage. After all, it wasn't her fault, and they could only blame the person moving against them.
Whiteness finally opened his mouth, "Since everyone is out, then this also means that whoever blasted fellow was interfering with my plans is now in the middle galaxies, right?"
Eliza was startled before her spiral eyes spun with a brilliant glint, "Yes, Exalted One! That schismatic is definitely in the legendary plains now! But I still can't detect or divide anything about him. I'll contact all the Legendary Kings now, and with all the Legendary Kings searching together, there won't be any place he can hide! Unless he's ended up in the star ocean or at the boundary of the Great Void! But I'm sure that the Path of Legend won't send anyone to these places since it means certain death for the new arrivals. After all, the Path of Legend is built to nurture talents!" Whiteness nodded as he didn't find any fault with Eliza's words, and his eyes turned deadly cold as faint killing intent flashed past his eyes; he really wanted to get his hands on that daring fellow who was thwarting his plans.
At this moment, Eliza seemed to hesitate for a moment before she spoke, "Exalted One, I think the Legendary Kings in the Dead Faction side seemed to be u-unhappy with what happened in the Path of Legend, and I can tell that they are not doing their best. If I told them this news, they might not listen to me…"
Whiteness snorted in disdain, "No need to worry about those dead idiots. They have no choice but to yield here. I'll take care of them if they don't listen. Just start the search and report to me about any clue you find on that person. I'll personally move. As long as he has all the vestiges, things are still salvageable.
"Moreover, to motivate those legendary kings, tell them that this person should also have some ascension permits since he can gather all the keys. This could only mean he's greedy and won't miss the chance to acquire ascension permits. They can have one ascension permit as long as they locate or capture him."
Whiteness looked meaningfully at Eliza, whose eyes seemed to shimmer in realization. His lips curled up slightly, "Even you can have the ascension permit, and you won't need to wait for me to come back from the lesser galaxies to take you to the higher galaxies with me. As long as you find that meddlesome fellow, I can even help you locate the Mythical Ascension Bridge."
Eliza trembled with excitement as it finally dawned on her how important this person who had gathered all the legendary keys was. In her depression and fear of whiteness, she had almost forgotten about the ascension permits.
Now, she wanted to find this person, not just for Whiteness but also for herself. She was now also confident that as long as she told every legendary king about this news, she wouldn't even have to persuade them at all; they would be working tirelessly on their own.
Even those arrogant and scheming fellows from the dead factions and all those hidden old monsters will do anything to get their hands on those ascension permits.
Excited, she quickly bowed in reverence, "I'll arrange everything!"
"Go, don't let me down this time." Whiteness sternly stated.
Eliza quickly left before promising Whiteness to do her utmost best, but this time, Whiteness wasn't confident at all since he had lost all his trust in her and her vision and even suspected that she didn't have the true Inner Espy Vision.
But Whiteness naturally won't reveal his thoughts since Eliza is his proxy and a perfect pawn; with her abilities, she is ideal for controlling the legendary plains.
But Whiteness or Eliza hadn't expected that the person they were going to search for had drawn far more attention to him than they could've imagined, and all because of the Legendary Master Key... they'll find out soon, though!
