Chapter 1008: The One Who Sits Above



Following Marquis Salamrut's angry bellow, he immediately stomped his feet, catapulting himself toward Vaan without hesitation.

In his mind, Vaan's action was extremely foolish. His bastard daughter was better protected when the Knights surrounded her. On the other hand, Vaan was alone with a meager cultivation...

If Marquis Salamrut had faced the situation calmly, he would have realized many things that would have made him wary of Vaan.

But alas, how could a cornered beast have time to think calmly when pressured?

"Overestimating yourself," Vaan snorted.

Peng!

Vaan flicked his middle finger, and a detached piece of the Sea God Temple's barrier power struck Marquis Salamrut squarely on the forehead before nailing him back into the ground.

Although the blunt force didn't outright kill Marquis Salamrut, it did give severe concussion and incapacitated him.

"Seal his cultivation base."

"Yes, my Lord!"

The Knights immediately acted on Vaan's order, injecting concentrated divine energy into Marquis Salamrut's acupoints to obstruct his energy pathways. This prevented him from drawing divine power from his Divine World.

The more acupoints blocked by foreign divine energy, the stronger the seal.

For a strong cultivator at the seventh stage of Divine Star Realm like Marquis Salamrut, the Knights gave him special treatment-a 108-acupoint energy sealing.

With this many obstructions in his energy pathways, Marquis Salamrut would feel like his limbs were all nailed to the ground with stakes. His body felt heavy, and forcing it to move would provoke pain.

"Save the Marquis!"

The remaining noblemen in the Salamrut family saw the situation turn bad and hoped to reverse the situation by recovering Marquis Salamrut from the Knights' grasp.

Unfortunately, their struggle was meaningless when they lost their strongest cultivator. They quickly lost their fights to the Knights and soldiers of the Fanghorn Army and Moonwater Army.

Following Vaan's orders, the noblemen in the Salamrut family all had their cultivation bases sealed after getting captured by the Knights and soldiers.

screens.

The blonde Solaran woman looked slightly like Astoria. However, she appeared far more mature and ancient. Her golden eyes glittered with the stars of wisdom, and her fair skin softly glowed like moonlight in the night.

Her body itself seemed like a celestial body sculpted by gods; it was sublime with an otherworldly attraction. Her golden silk dress only further enhanced her perfect appeal.

Despite being an image on the screen, her transcendental beauty wasn't diminished in any way. Rather, it could only exist within the virtual realm.

Still, the golden woman's most distinctive features were undoubtedly her partial golden

scales and antler-like dragon horns.

"You are... Pangea?" Vaan asked.

"How unsurprised you are. As expected, you have suspected this," the golden woman on the screen smiled thoughtfully before shaking her head, "I am indeed Pangea, but at the same

time, I am also not her."

"I am Pangea's collective consciousness, which had been uploaded onto the Celestial Network. Some people say I am Pangea, and some people don't. Even I don't have the answer

they seek."

"However, of one thing, I am certain-I have inherited Pangea's will, and I think that is enough. Does this answer satisfy you, Child?" Pangea asked.

"So, you're the one who holds first-class permission in the Celestial Kingdom?" Vaan replied

with another question.

Pangea didn't seem to mind her question left unanswered.

"The one who holds first-class permission, you ask?" Pangea chuckled.

"There are indeed quite a few children who have it, but I am not one of them. I am the one

who sits above them all; I am the Celestial Kingdom's supreme intelligence-the one who

governs the Celestial Network."

"Why would I need permission?" Pangea asked rhetorically.
