After some thought, the girl in the golden robe brought up an example.

 

“Miss Violet, have you heard of demon summoning? It’s somewhat similar to this. Demons, as creatures from another dimension, cannot traverse spatial barriers to come to our side. Even if someone actively summons them through offerings or opens gates, it can only assist in bringing weaker demons into the mortal realm.”

 

“While I don’t know the true strength, identity, or location of the ‘Councilors,’ their situation should be similar. They are too powerful, so they can’t come over, and the world won’t easily allow their descent.”

 

“Oh…”

 

If that’s the case, it makes sense.

 

After all, even ‘Representatives’ like Rebecca are superhuman entities. The true ‘Councilors’ are likely to be at least above the level of pseudo-gods, perhaps even higher.

 

In terms of levels, that would be level 70 or above.

 

In this world, apart from some mythical creatures, under normal circumstances, it seems impossible for beings to break through the pinnacle of transcendence and reach the level of pseudo-gods. Creatures like the vampire princess Lucine Constantius, restricted by the limitations of their species, are firmly confined within this range.

 

At this moment, Violet suddenly realized a blind spot.

 

“Wait a minute, where did Ben get this token? He should only be at the level of Mithril, how could he be chosen as a ‘Representative’?”

 

It seemed that Edith had already considered this question and immediately answered with a speculative tone.

 

“I think it was that girl named Rebecca who gave her token to Ben. As mentioned earlier, the Twilight Council is actually a relatively loose organization, and the identity of ‘Representative’ is more like a form of recognition or reward. Perhaps it was a letter of recommendation to gain that guy’s trust.”

 

“Hmm…”

 

Violet nodded, seemingly understanding.

 

If that’s the case, it does make sense. However, even though Edith casually downplayed it, the serious expression she had when she first saw the token made the priestess somewhat concerned.

 

The Twilight Council is definitely not a harmless organization.

 

Additionally…

 

“There’s one more thing. Do you know what it means to have the green snake pattern on oneself?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

The girl in the golden robe, putting down the wooden cup she had just taken a sip from, surprisedly looked up.

 

“Miss Violet, have you encountered such people?”

 

“Not exactly encountered, but I have heard through some channels. Are they also ‘Representatives’?”

 

“No.”

 

The Miss Guardian denied without hesitation.

 

“If someone has the totem of the ‘Serpent of Devouring Realms’ on their body, they can only be worshippers of it in our world. They are a separate group from the Twilight Council, but they are parallel, with little overlap. Moreover, they are even more loosely organized and usually act spontaneously as individuals.”

 

“These people are generally members of cults, undead mages interested in the bizarre, alchemists, magic addicts, blasphemers, and similar groups. Their characters are more or less problematic.”

 

“Or in other words, individuals who worship and have a connection with the ‘Serpent of Devouring Realms,’ are mostly holding malicious intentions towards this world, expecting the arrival of destruction or so-called reshaping. If Miss Violet encounters them, you can deal with them without hesitation.”

 

“Well… I’ll try my best.”

 

She said this out loud, but in reality, Violet didn’t categorize them directly as enemies.

 

Although Edith was very friendly to her and provided a lot of information and help, ultimately, the previous statement was a subjective one from the perspective of the Kingdom’s Guardian. It can be considered, but the specifics depend on the priestess’s personal judgment after interacting with those people herself.

 

When Violet emerged from the dungeon, the night had completely fallen.

 

The darkness couldn’t hinder the people celebrating the coronation of the new queen; in the distance, lights still illuminated the area. Only the prison, a heavily guarded stronghold near the military, appeared somewhat quiet.

 

Putting on the Chameleon Cloak, Violet traversed through the dim alleyways. Suddenly, she stopped and directed her gaze towards a corner.

 

“Alright, come out.”

 

She said impatiently.

 

“Hehe, Master…”

 

A golden-haired, well-proportioned tall girl slowly emerged from the corner. Although she was usually cold and arrogant in front of others, now she looked like a child who had done something wrong, scratching her head awkwardly and avoiding eye contact with the black-haired girl.

 

“Quite bold, huh? You even dared not to listen to your Master’s words? A little dragoness kept you lost for half a day. If you encounter a handsome dragon, are you going to elope directly?”

 

“Huh? No, no, no! How could that happen, Master!? I have no thoughts about males at all, rather I like, uh, cough, cough…”

 

Xiao Guang hurriedly tried to explain, but it seemed like she suddenly realized something was off and quickly shut her mouth. Because of her abrupt movement, she even coughed for a while, choked by her own saliva.

 

“?”

 

Miss Priestess frowned.

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“Nothing! It was just a slip of the tongue! Master, take a look, is this what you were looking for?!”

 

As if trying to divert attention from a certain topic, the little dragon girl hastily pulled out a small iron box from her personal belongings and quickly ran over, presenting it to Violet in a pleasing manner.

 

“What’s this again?”

 

Touching the iron box, Violet could vaguely sense some kind of high-energy reaction inside. It felt like something related to magic crystals. Where did her pet get hold of this?

 

Thinking too much about it was pointless, and since Xiao Guang couldn’t harm her anyway, Violet opened the box without suspicion.

 

Boom!

 

“Wow!”

 

A scorching wave surged out from the narrow opening, directly hitting the face of the Priestess. Blocked by the defense shield of the 【Feather Robe Graria】 she wore, it didn’t cause any harm, but it startled Violet, almost making her drop the box.

 

“Uh! Master, are you okay?”

 

Only now did Xiao Guang seem to react from her panic. To shift the topic earlier, she directly handed the thing to Violet but forgot to inform her master about the true nature of the contents.

 

“I’m fine. What is this…”

 

Waving her hand, Violet stared at the small gap where a hot stream continued to seep out, causing the surrounding air temperature to slowly rise. The black-haired girl’s silver-blue eyes squinted slightly.

 

Inside was a fiery red, palm-sized rhombus-shaped crystal.

 

It was a powerful fire attribute treasure, and most importantly, Violet could sense a special aura belonging to the pure-blooded dragon race, very similar to the one Xiao Guang had.

 

If there was anything in Violet’s observations and knowledge in this world that could match up to this, there was only one thing.

 

“Could this be… the 【Heart of the Red Dragon】 that Miss Anastasia entrusted me to find? Where did you get it from?”

 

Facing her mistress’s inquiry, the dragon lady naturally spoke the truth.

 

“The little blue dragon gave it to me. She said it was to thank Master for her kindness. And this thing was originally obtained by the ‘Eternal Throne’ specifically to neutralize the unstable resentment and chilliness in her body. Now it’s no longer needed.”

 

The 【Heart of the Red Dragon】 was originally on Rebecca?

 

It made sense. No matter how you looked at it, she was the second throne in the organization, just below the ‘Eternal Mage.’ Although her qualifications and time in the higher ranks were short, it was normal for the ‘Eternal Throne’ to obtain such a treasure to win over Rebecca.

 

“Master, Alexia asked me to tell you that after she turned into a vengeful spirit, she must periodically consume new soul power indirectly. Otherwise, she won’t be able to maintain stability and will turn into a berserk vengeful spirit.”

 

“With her transcendent strength, if such a thing happens, it will cause a terrifying catastrophe wherever she is.”

 

“As a semi-vengeful spirit, it’s extremely, extremely difficult for her to die completely. If she commits suicide directly, it will only result in similar consequences.”

 

The little dragon girl continued to convey the message from another dragon lady.

 

“Moreover, if she suffers injuries or depletes her power, these impulses and needs become even more intense. So Alexia has always been trying to avoid battles with strong opponents to reduce the intake of souls. However, accidents always happen.”

 

“The ‘Heart of the Red Dragon’ is also something she obtained to suppress this situation, but the effect is not very ideal.”

 

Alexia said that she is telling you all this not to excuse her past actions. The nightmare, the curse, and the killings that she had to carry out have constantly condemned her as a human conscience. She is very grateful for the redemption you brought.

 

“That’s probably all…”

 

Honestly sharing the necessary information, the dragon lady closed her mouth obediently, not disturbing the priestess’s thoughts.

 

Although Xiao Guang didn’t value the lives of ordinary humans and lacked empathy for Rebecca’s self-blame and guilt, she knew that her master did care.

 

“Is that so…”

 

It truly was a curse of being unable to survive and unable to die.

 

The so-called “power and evolution” had twisted into a distorted form of immortality.

 

After triggering the Redemption of Life, the “Balance of Life and Death” would release Rebecca from the shackles of so-called “eternal life,” returning her to a pure living being. Like a normal creature, she would return to the cycle of life. The resentment had already been burned to ashes in her final strike when sacrificing her life.

 

Although losing the boost of resentment would certainly weaken her to some extent, Rebecca also gained the possibility of growth. With time, she might reach new heights.

 

So, there might no longer be a need for the “Heart of the Red Dragon.”

 

Given the current situation, there’s not much more to be said.

 

If placed in the same position as Rebecca, Violet admitted to herself that she wouldn’t be able to handle it any better.

 

No wonder Rebecca chose the battlefield ten thousand meters above the ground. No wonder she waited for someone capable of completely killing the Twin Dragon Princess to appear. Because once a transcendent being loses control and goes berserk, it’s entirely possible to cause the deaths of millions if left unchecked.

 

Rebecca could be seen as sealing a giant bomb within her own body, ready to explode at any moment.

 

Although she had killed many people, what else could Rebecca do? Ending her own life might be an easier way out, but facing the guilt and continuing to live required even more courage.

 

It’s surprising that the “Balance of Life and Death” could even determine such things. It seemed like a rule similar to causality.

 

After sealing the “Heart of the Red Dragon” in a clearly custom-made box and placing it in the inventory, Violet understood that now was not the best time to carefully study the item.

 

“Let’s go, back to the inn for now.”

 

“Oh, okay, Master.”
