Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Information About the Bronze Hall

It even included a highly rare blessing from the Elf Mother Tree. That’s right. It was the exact same language mastery ability that Vierlia possessed. The so-called blessing of the Elf Mother Tree was actually a special seed plucked from the mother tree itself. It contained a natural law pertaining to language; once digested, it granted the ability to rapidly learn and comprehend languages.

In truth, Little Nine had already relayed this good news to Shen Yun telepathically. Shen Yun was instantly elated. Only someone who had studied a foreign language before could truly understand how agonizing the process was. However, he maintained a composed exterior. He glanced at the Elf Maiden Saint Realm standing behind them. She was quite beautiful, radiating an elegant and virtuous aura. But as he had always believed, when it came to female beauty, having Little Nine was more than enough to satisfy him. He felt like he would never grow tired of her for the rest of his life. If he accepted every pretty woman who came his way, he’d be effectively ruined.

"Leave the items," Shen Yun said, giving them a fleeting glance. "Take the person away."

"Yes, sir," Rick replied, his heart clenching. The words of submission that had just reached the tip of his tongue were suddenly swallowed back, and he didn’t know how to voice them anymore. If the other party had rejected their apology, why keep the other gifts? He couldn’t figure it out at all. He wondered, "Does this mean we are supposed to prove ourselves through our actions? Or does it mean..."

"Esteemed Prince Violet," Alden stepped forward under immense pressure, keeping his head bowed. "The Winged Race has prepared a special gift to express our sincere apologies." With that, he offered the box in his hands.

Once again, Little Nine accepted it. Alden was incredibly nervous. Before coming here, he had been preoccupied with maintaining the dignity of the Winged Race. But now, truly standing before Shen Yun and feeling that unfathomable, abyss-like mystery, he finally realized something. He could very well be swatted to death with a single slap! Just making it back alive and ensuring the safety of his clansmen would be a victory in itself.

"PFFT." Little Nine opened the box and suddenly laughed out loud. "Just what kind of status do you think my master has? Did you really think he wouldn’t already know this kind of information?"

Alden’s breath hitched. He knew exactly what was inside that box. It contained information regarding the passage to the Otherworld—a mysterious set of Ancient Ruins. He thought, "Could it be that Prince Violet’s true identity is... It has to be! No wonder I’ve never heard of such a powerhouse among humans before. He’s actually an entity from the Otherworld!"

"That’s enough, Little Nine," Shen Yun interrupted calmly. "Although this is useless, I appreciate the thought. You may return now. Focus on living peacefully and avoid causing trouble. I won’t make things difficult for you."

"Understood!" Alden, Rick, and the others responded in unison. Their legs felt like jelly. With a wave of Shen Yun’s hand, they bowed in apology one last time, left their gifts behind, and hastily withdrew.

Once the outsiders were gone, Shen Yun could no longer contain his excitement. He hurriedly took the box from Little Nine’s hands. Inside lay a piece of Jade.

"I really didn’t expect this..." Shen Yun murmured. He took out the Jade, gripped it in his hand, and carefully sensed the information within. Just like the piece of Jade Vierlia had that recorded the method to move the hall, this one was also related to the Bronze Hall. Moreover, it contained three distinct pieces of information.

The first detailed the Bronze Hall’s functions. Forged by an unknown entity, it possessed three primary abilities: teleportation, mobility, and... opening portals! That’s right—a portal that could permanently bridge the passage between two worlds. Even though he had marveled at it more than once, Shen Yun still clenched his fists in excitement.

Unfortunately, the second piece of information clarified that not every Bronze Hall could open a portal. They operated on a tier system. The lowest-tier Bronze Hall could merely connect two worlds and teleport people three times a day. A higher-tier Bronze Hall not only increased the daily teleportation limit but, upon reaching a certain level, could open permanent portals. Furthermore, the connected worlds wouldn’t just be restricted to a one-to-one ratio. It could be one-to-many, or even many-to-many.

The third piece was the most crucial information of all. It recorded the method to upgrade the Bronze Hall. Astonishingly, it was through fusion! Using a specific method akin to a digital key, two adjacent Bronze Halls could be merged and upgraded. This wasn’t just limited to the halls within their own world; Bronze Halls from the Otherworld could be fused as well.

Shen Yun’s breathing grew heavy. He had previously suspected that the Bronze Hall might become a strategic asset of extreme importance. But from this day onward, it would inevitably evolve into a highly contested battleground for all factions. Whoever controlled a higher-tier Bronze Hall would hold the ultimate initiative. Not to mention the vastly enhanced logistical capabilities—if permanent portals were truly opened, they could exploit the resources of the Otherworld with maximum efficiency. He wondered, "Just who created such an existence?"

"This is truly... breathtaking," Vierlia said. She had also inspected the information inside and was entirely unable to conceal her shock.

"It’s also dangerous," Shen Yun replied, pondering carefully for a moment, his brow furrowing. "In some worlds, there might be factions that have long since begun searching for and upgrading Bronze Halls."

If the Winged Race possessed this information, it was highly likely that other worlds did as well.

"If even you’re making a face like that," Vierlia said, reaching out to gently massage Shen He’s brows and offering him a smile, "then wouldn’t the rest of us be even more helpless? No matter what happens in the future, I will always believe in you and stay by your side forever."

Standing nearby, Annie’s mouth was already pouting high. She really wanted to cry, wondering, "Why does it feel like my queen’s entire body and soul belong to someone else after being away for a little over a month?"

"I need to head back to Earth soon," Shen Yun said, a hint of apology in his tone. "Do you need me to leave Little Jie behind to help you?"

"No need," Vierlia shook her head. "You’ve already done so much. Just leave the rest to me. It’s just that... you have to come back and see me every month. At least four times—no, twice is enough." She held up two fingers, her eyes filled with anticipation.

For the foreseeable future, she would dedicate all her efforts to integrating the nation. Through cooperation with Huaxia, they would quickly assimilate the eastern region. Once the citizens’ sense of belonging was established, the loyalty of the various Saint Realms secured, and the signal towers for rapid communication constructed, she could become a hands-off queen and happily go to Earth to keep Shen Yun company. If she could have a child, she would truly step down from her position as queen in a little over a decade and live a blissful life. Just thinking about it made her a little giddy. But for now, Vierlia could only use these fantasies to soothe the reluctance of their impending separation.

"Let’s work hard together," Shen Yun said, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He actually quite enjoyed the feeling of striving alongside a companion. At the same time, he silently hoped, "Before I grant Enlightenment to my next companion, before Little Nine breaks through to the Void God realm, and before I break through to the Golden Core stage—these three critical milestones—I hope no more emergencies crop up."
