Chapter 3: The Rich Legacy of the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah!

**Chapter Three: The Rich Legacy of the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah!**

Ye Xi had no doubts about Aether's sincerity.

Because he could feel that Aether was truly angry—angry at Celestia actions five hundred years ago!

In fact, even he, a traveler, felt deeply confused.

Why should innocent citizens who died have to bear the curse?

The decision to use the power of the Abyss was made by the upper royal family and had nothing to do with the innocent people.

The sinners were King Irmin, Rhinedottir, and those scholars who insisted on using the power of the Abyss!

If Celestia wanted to stop Khaenri'ah, they could have started with a verbal warning, and only then should the Seven Gods have been sent directly to destroy Khaenri'ah, much like setting fire to an oil barrel.

And Rhinedottir is a complete sinner, one who truly unleashed the full chains of the Abyssal power, dragging the entire nation down with her.

Both Celestia and Rhinedottir are extremists!

The most detestable thing is that the laws of heaven made no distinction between right and wrong, casting a curse to completely subdue Khaenri'ah!

Even those who fought against the Abyss alongside other nations weren't spared!

So Ye Xi felt confused.

Couldn't they have just sat down calmly and talked things out?

In any case, what's done is done, and there's no need to dwell on the past.

…

After Ye Xi and Aether determined their next course of action, the Abyss Apostles and Black Serpent Knights were thrilled.

News of the birth of a new king in Khaenri'ah spread rapidly throughout the Abyss Order.

For a time, the entire order was buzzing with excitement.

"We finally have a new king! It's Lord Ye Xi!"

"What!? It's him!"

At this moment, a Black Serpent Knight suddenly spoke up: "I know this lord, he was a scholar in our kingdom's research institute, and the strongest swordsman among the nobles! He was hailed as the new king back then!"

Before the Black Serpent Knight was corroded by the power of the Abyss, he was an elite member of Khaenri'ah's Royal Guard!

Under the curse of the Heavenly Laws, the Royal Guard transformed into Black Serpent Knights, immortal warriors!

After years of wear and tear, the Black Serpent Knights would lose consciousness and memory, becoming hollow shells, like zombies!

At this moment, the Black Serpent Knight still had his memories and could recall things from five hundred years ago!

Hearing the exclamation from the Black Serpent Knight, all the Abyss mages let out flattering praises.

"This is great! Master Ye Xi is king, he truly deserves the title!"

"Khaenri'ah is coming back! Finally coming back!"

"I heard our king has broken free from that damned curse!"

"What did you say!?"

"As expected of our new king!"

"So we'll have a chance to return to our original forms!"

"..."

When the voices reached this point, there was a hush.

Because everyone present longed for that day!

Hundreds of years!

Although they had long been disheartened and despairing, who would willingly accept their current state!

Ugly! Fallen! Their voices hoarse! Their habits drastically changed!

Once, they were also humans with healthy limbs!

Originally, they had given up the desire to return to being human, but now the example of Ye Xi breaking the curse had appeared, rekindling hope in their silent hearts!

"Protect Khaenri'ah and all its people, that was the last order every soldier received! So, I must do my part to rebuild Khaenri'ah!"

"I don't care anymore, what matters is Khaenri'ah's future!"

"Our king is very wise. He and His Royal Highness have split into two groups. His Royal Highness will strengthen our nation's power! Our king is spreading new blood for our country! What a brilliant king!"

"We have no choice but to support the new king and become the king's sword!"

"..."

Intense discussions turned into immortal beliefs and spread among the Abyss Order.

Countless figures swore loyalty to the new king!

Though these voices did not reach Ye Xi's ears.

At this moment, Ye Xi had arrived at the kingdom's treasure vault.

He wanted to determine the treasure's size, which would shape his future plans for taking concubines.

Recalling the memory from back then, Ye Xi found a massive wall.

In the center of the wall, there was a beam mechanism.

Ye Xi took the key to the mechanism from his arm, and the next moment, the key was sucked into the mechanism.

A burst of light erupted throughout the mechanism, followed by a sound.

Boom...

The wall began to vibrate, and an incalculable amount of dust fell like a waterfall.

"Ahem..."

Ye Xi stepped back a few paces, and finally, the dusty door slowly opened.

There must be a lot of inheritance in all of Khaenri'ah, right?

Although Ye Xi had mentally prepared himself, when the door opened, the dazzling golden light that erupted from within still made him gasp in awe!

*Whistle—*

For a moment, he was blinded by the light inside!

Mora!

All golden Mora!

The entire vault was as large as several basketball courts, and Mora stacked like hills rose from the ground like mountains!

Among the Mora, there were countless gemstones of different colors!

Casually piled on the ground, it was so inhumane!

It was a bit more extravagant than Liyue's golden house!

Ye Xi, who had never seen such wealth before, couldn't help but feel his heart beat a little faster, admitting that Khaenri'ah had indeed been powerful back then—and extremely wealthy!

There must be hundreds of billions of Mora!?!

At the edge of the Mora heap, there were many bookshelves.

The collection quickly caught Ye Xi's attention.

He recognized the books!

These were all research materials from the [Cultivators] of Khaenri'ah back then!

[The land is not plowed with agricultural tools, but fought for with iron and blood.]

The so-called cultivation machines were not used for farming but were the machines modern people called [Ruin Guards].

With these materials, he could create new [Cultivators]!

Ye Xi believed that these machines could be even more valuable than Mora!

After a brief glance at the treasure vault's inheritance, Ye Xi couldn't help but feel moved.

For someone who had no money, the feeling of suddenly acquiring billions made him want to open a bottle of wine to celebrate.

At this moment, Ye Xi had a thought and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea...
