Chapter 271 - XII Eternal Time Clan

Void Star.

It had been a few weeks since Elijah vanished and Yawen had just arrived with a huge star fleet few hundred thousand massive warsh.i.p.s landing on the royal district's docking station. A silver star cruiser landed in the front before Yawen appeared out of thin air inside the station followed, by Chloe, Cassie, Elliot, Aina and the others.

Spotting a blue-skinned man in the distance, a young lady standing next to Ava and Chloe leaped into the man's arm.

"Keith!"

Thud! Nearly tripping from Luna's impact, Keith was a little intimidated by the huge warsh.i.p.s that covered most of the city's surroundings.

"Have you all succeeded in bringing in the other clans as well?"

Luna puffed her chest arrogantly. "What do you think? Sister-in-law is great, she was able to persuade all the six clans into following us even with most inhabitants of the mortal universe has lost their cultivation."

"I didn't do that much." Yawen shook her head. "It seems that a bit of Elijah's connection to the time clan has spread to the other clans. And there is also the fact all the clans are nervous to why the cosmic realm was locked so suddenly, but no matter what, that thing that took my brother's body and nearly killed my father must be up to no good."

While speaking, her eyes searched for something and when she didn't find what she searched for, her struggle to ask. "Keith, where is Elijah?"

Scratching his head, Keith replied. "He has not returned from the time clan yet. However, he told me to prepare to start the attack in one month and that he will be there on time."

'I see... I just hope he's doing fine.'

....

As Elijah detected the location, he found himself standing on a huge crystal bridge and far away he saw an immense purple hanging in the void with a small citadel down bellow. Black holes surrounding the citadel as purple light reflected in his eyes.

Patting the little rabbit's head, Elijah waved his hand, revealing a fresh carrot he gave to his beast. "Good work."

Then he sent him back. Staring at the citadel far away, Elijah wasn't surprised by the magnitude of the building as he proceeded forward.

As Elijah approached the citadel, he saw figures in white gathering at the bridge pointing at him and exclaiming with excitement like the long-awaited celebrity they have been waiting has finally arrived.

What he noticed at this moment was that other than the white-clad people, there were men and women in purple robes walking down the streets each having a small book with pocket watch on its cover tied to their wrists with chains.

Stopping before Elijah, they knelt down and said in unison and the thousands of white-clad people followed right after while he could hear a few whispers from the crowd.

"He's here! The young King has finally arrived."

"So he is the young king..."

"I expected the young king to be more burly. He looks a bit too thin for me, he needs a bit more meat." A young girl thought to herself while another girl next to her pinched her arm.

"You shouldn't be thinking of that, putting your weird fetishes on his Highness. He looks perfect to me." 

After paying their respects, all of them still kept their knees on the ground as one of the women in purple said. "Your Highness, We have been waiting for you. The Twelve Thousand Time Knights are at your disposition."

Following her, another eleven purple dressed people stood up. "We're the Twelve Enforcers of Time Chosen by Your Majesty. We are ready to attack the World King at any time."

Staring at these men and women, Elijah felt a deep connection between them as if he was staring at his own kin, no, their auras were nonexistent, but from the laws. It was the deep connection between cultivators and the laws.

The only reason the cosmic heart was that big of a problem was that the laws of the cultivators derived from it, and by defeating it, those who are connected to him would either become mortals or maybe something even worse.

Yet, there was something about them that was strange. They didn't look like any race or species he was familiar with, or at least they weren't like those he met in the cosmic realm.

There were similar to the other royal families, yet different at the same time. But with a few minutes, Elijah realized who those people were.

"You- You are the Origin Race."

"Yes child, but not all of us are. Some have been rescued even before the age of Genesis." Said the leader of the people in purple. A female with long dark hair, pale face and pupils being a mixture of two different colors, gray and purple.

"And you..." Elijah stuttered, the similarities between this woman and Yawen are almost scary. "Her great-grandmother.

"Yes, but it's been long since I forsake my name. I'm his majesty's Fifth Enforcer, Void Time." As soon as she introduced herself, Void Time turned to the others beside her.

"First Enforcer, Golden Time! It's good to see your highness this young."

"Third Enforcer, Broken Time!"

"Burning Time!"

"Lunar Time!

"Mirage Time...."

Just like him, those people didn't have a specific level of cultivation. Instead, they had a set of different artifacts that would show their stats, abilities and class as a member of the Eternal Time Clan.

And like origins, they had a limited number of abilities and some that they could only acquire as they increase in rank. Soon, they asked him to have dinner at the palace.

Inside the palace, Elijah was surprised to see several dozen knights walking towards the hall and summoning a huge banquet with foods taken from various points in time. it was the first time Elijah felt such pleasure in eating, and he thought how much he would have to train this ability of his before being used at this level.
