Summon to capital.
In Virro, the throne room of the Ballad Mansion.
A man with striking facial features and a commanding presence is seated on a throne, while two other men, also incredibly powerful, kneel before him.
"Rise!" Sun solemnly ordered.
Immediately after hearing Sun's command, the pair promptly stood up.
Once more, Sun started talking.
"Rufus, well done on finishing your training."
Rufus quickly rejected it and replied, "Oh great one, please don't make me feel ashamed.
Receiving your attention is both a blessing and a pleasant surprise.
You are the source of my admiration for my faith, and now I can serve you after 30 years.
Just thinking about it, fills me with immense happiness."
Rufus said it with a blow.
Upon hearing it, the sun smiled softly at him, as he recalled his conversation with IIpsir's few days prior.
°°
2 days prior to the attack on Berus duchy.
Sun was chilling in his room when he suddenly got a telepathic message from Ilpsir.
"Lord, I come with news."
Sun, engaged in a conversation with Alen, promptly straightened up and instructed IIpsir to speak.
"Lord, Rufus's training is finished, and we have successfully transformed him into a devoted follower of your identity of Helios, just as you desired.
This marks the initial stage of your scheme to establish a religious organization in the North, led by Rufus."
Upon hearing that, the Sun nodded and posed a question.
"What about the request I made?"
Upon hearing it, IIpsir quickly grasped the message that sun want to convey.
"Yes, my master, we have also carried out that command effectively.
Several of our members had been sent as Helios temple* clergy to aid the war-torn region, specifically the towns and cities near the border of the Great Northern tribesmen and mainland allaince in tending to the wounded and sick in order to strengthen the faith in Helios Temple among the locals." IIpsir stops, knowing only to speak what he has been asked for.
[I am changing Helios church to Helios temple as there is already a "church" named Theos church.]
"What is the status of the progress?"
" Lord, our efforts to spread the Helios faith have been largely successful in the southern region of the Great Northern tribesmen territory, mainly due to your influence in Ale Town.
Upon your departure from the town, a few individuals from our species, disguised as Helios Temple clergy members, arrived in the town obediently following your instructions.
After our members mentioned your name, the rest of the town welcomed us warmly; shortly after, many locals also began to support the religion and help the sick in different war zones in the Dain tribe's territory by joining the temple" Pause briefly for the Sun to inquire about any questions or other matters.
Sensing that IIpsir had ceased to speaking, the sun remarked.
"Keep going."
"Indeed, my lord.
So, as a result, our reputation among the Dain tribe has improved, allowing us to expand our activities to three additional territories of the Great Northern tribesmen.
The tribal chief in those regions also backed our actions, as our actions have helped to calm the upset people while also reinforcing the tribal chief's authority.
But lord, unfortunately, the progress of our development is moving at a sluggish pace in the cities and villages of the mainland alliance nations, mainly due to conflicts with the theos church and the local lord, who are closely connected to the church."
Upon hearing IIpsir, Sun fell into silence and pondered about various scenarios and strategies in the event of a religious coup in the main land alliance. Despite his confidence in handling any issues that may arise, he decides to stay cautious as he is uncertain about what formidable beings are lurking in the shadows.
Then IIpsir spoke quickly because he think that my be sun had been not satisfied with the process.
"Lord, if you are unhappy with the pace, we can consider being more assertive, especially in the nations of main land alliance."
"There is no requirement for that, not until Rufus achieves rank x. Let's proceed with the determined plan," the sun responded upon hearing IIpsir's word.
IIpsir responded right away, "Certainly, my lord."
After a brief moment of silence, Sun spoke.
"Let me know what you're thinking about." sensing that IIpsir has some more things to say to him.
Hearing that, IIpsir spoke hurriedly, as if anticipating this moment.
"Your grace, I might be crossing a line, and I am willing to face the consequences for it." Following a short period of silence, he spoke once more.
"Please, my lord, come back to Draaervil (Dragevill continent) and rule over our people.
The population eagerly desires your presence, and the pressure is escalating each day, potentially may lead to widespread riots.
And our hands are tied in this situation, as we can only exert a small amount of force on them; using more force could potentially lead to a loss of faith."
Sun Hearing this, he began to consider all the potential situations that could occur.
When the different individuals arrived on the Draaervil continent, they were considered the most destitute in their original land, where survival was challenging.
Everyday they wished for a peaceful death, but when IIpsir and Paryx appeared as messengers of the Sun, they felt a glimmer of hope, so at present, the belief in the Sun has become the strong foundation of the Dragevil species. Currently, all Dragevils are devoted to their god, who is seen as the central figure and protector of the species.
For the population of dragevil species, even though it's only 2 months in reality, it can feel like over a year or longer due to being placed in the creator realm's accelerated timeline for various reasons, such as population growth or training.
After thinking hard for a few minutes, Sun responds.
"I will be back soon. Issue the statement; I will personally meet the peoples and transform them into dragevils."

Returning to the current moment.
While Sun was lost in contemplation, Ynder got a crucial message from his butler, yet he paused for Sun to collect his thoughts before sharing the message.
After some time, when Ynder noticed that Sun was looking towards them, he then stared to speak.
"Ruler, The summons has been sent by Prince Louie."
Prince Louie Leai is the second prince and the rightful heir of the Leai Kingdom, appointed by the former king, but what truly stands out is his status as one of the three SS-rank cultivators of the Leai Kingdom.
Currently, the government of the kingdom is at a standstill, with Prince Louie acting as a symbolic leader as three factions vie for control of the kingdom. However, with the demise of Duke Beus, who backed the 1st Prince, the 1st Prince faction has been weakened and will no longer be a factor in the game.
Every group will now attempt to sway Ynder to their side, as it guarantees a win for them, particularly the 1st Prince's faction. However, Ynder was summoned by the 2nd prince, not the 1st prince, as he had anticipated.
Sun simply nodded toward Ynder, prompting him to read the summons without showing much emotion.
Similarly, Ynder promptly asked Robert to deliver the summon telepathically, which he could transmit to any of his created Dragevil Kin* using his Aristocrat Authority*.
In an instant, Robert suddenly materializes in front of them, holding a dark brown box engraved with the emblem of the royal family of the Leai Kingdom.
Upon spotting the sun, Robert quickly went down on both of his knees, bending his spine even further until his head touched the ground, speaking aloud with a tone that was both loud and respectful.
"Praise the supreme leader. This servant has been favored by the grandeur of your presence."
"At ease, Robert." In his grand voice, the sun spoke.
Upon hearing it, Robert was over the moon; he couldn't fathom how such an impressive figure could have recalled the name of a humble servant.
Robert stood up holding the wooden box, wearing a visibly happy smile that was noticed by everyone in the room, and then approached Ynder, who was a few steps away.
As Robert reached before Ynder, he performed a small bow before handing the box to Ynder.
Ynder took the box, carefully opensup the box and removes the summon that was wrapped in a red cloth.
When Ynder sought the sun's approval, the sun nodded lightly in response.
After that, he begins to recite the summons with a loud and clear voice.
{Congratulations, Count Ynder, for your recent victory against Duke Berus and for the breakthrough in your cultivation.
Previously, you were a very valuable asset to our kingdom, but now your position is unshakeable.
Count ynder, I invite you to my castle, not as a prince of this kingdom but as a citizen of this land, to discuss the future of this kingdom.
It is no hidden fact that our kingdom is in shambles due to infighting and other kingdoms's influence.
You who have touched the limit of what humans could theoretically achieve and are trying to challenge God's realm, I want your support to restore order in our kingdom.
It purely depends on you if you want to meet me for further discussion. If your answer is favorable, the royals will escort you to the capital; if not, they will return immediately, not causing you any further trouble.
Glory to the Kingdom and its people! }
Ynder, after finishing, passes the summons to Robert and asks sun.
"Ruler, what's your will?"
Hearing it, Sun did not reply; instead, he started to think.
In the summons, the prince's tone is polite yet firm, which doesn't show that he is weak and desperate to attain a powerful ally. And the reason for his humble tone is because it's a proper equities to talk in a humble tone to your superior, which ynder is, in the aspect of cultivation. As Ynder will be given respect anywhere in the world as one of the top-most powerhouses of his species, as their number can be counted on fingers.
After a few moments of thought, Sun replies.
"Let the royal delegation know that you will be coming to the capital. Moreover, make sure to bring Rufus along with you."
"Immediately, leader."
