Chapter 708 - Ends

The Ends of the World. This was a famous name of the so called paradise that could be the seen by the ending side of this world. It was a resting place for those people who wanted peace and serenity before passing away.

Of all the places, the Ends was the least contaminated and polluted as it was protected by a certain law who loved this nature. Thus, no one would dare to pollute this place. Not even his fellow laws would dare to.

Jin Rou and Athena were already here. The first thing they saw was the large green forest with shining land. Birds were chirping in peace as they flew over the clouds and sky. The fruits were shining like gold like treasures but it wasn't available to plucked off so the two didn't think about it. It was already fortunate of them enough to reach this place as usually it was restricted by the governing law.

Jin Rou enjoyed the changing sceneries of this place. From forest, it turned into mountains, then rivers, and now a falls in a reverse direction.

It was truly a paradise that not everyone was deserved of stepping. The world outside this place was too dark and merciless, perhaps those dying ancestors would choose to die here rather than outside of this.

"A paradise of all ages..." Athena gasped. She saw many paradises in the past but this place turned the bar upward high that it's pretty impossible to reach.

After roaming around for a while, Jin Rou and Athena saw a handsome young man in summer outfit in a round table eating apples. There were perfectly sliced apples on the table already and the person was munching one.

"The place is beautiful, isn't it?" The person said as he took another slice of apple, "I have taken care of this place for so long now and so far, it's been doing well. Not affected by the issues of the world."

Jin Rou smiled and looked at the familiar face. He then sat down to a chair opposite of the person and said, "So this is your real body, there is a great difference between your intent in that world and this world."

Jin Rou was very familiar with this man. After all, he met this man's intent in their universe back then and gave him the elementus. That's right, this was Law Anxiu who he met during his trip to a certain realm.

"It's nice to see you in flesh, too." Law Anxiu chuckled, "From the last time I have seen you, you became stronger. Very very strong that I don't think I can still be a match against you."

Of the first 7 Universal Laws, Anxiu was the one with the least historical records. As a matter of fact, there were only speculated rumors about his deeds but it was never officially recorded in the annals of history. He was the most low profile of all the seven, and because of that, no one knew how strong he was.

The masses could only agree to their basis that Anxiu was perhaps the weakest or the strongest of the seven, but the latter was seemed too good to be true so it must be the former. Nevertheless, the respect Anxiu gaines was tantamount as he was still part of the 7 Universal Laws of this world.

"That is because my master is Feng Lin." Jin Rou spoke with a proud tone. He would never get tired of being proud for being Feng Lin's disciple. If ever in the future that he'd get a disciple, too, he would still say this tale and be proud of it.

"Big Brother is the best of the best, indeed. We are no match against his eyes." Anxiu smiled. It was a smile of acceptance of defeat, "And I'm grateful that he nurtured you, because if not, this world is doomed to fall under our father's mercy."

"The world is going to prosper now." Jin Rou said, "And my master's empire will soar to the highest heights available in this world."

"That's for sure, with two laws governing the Phoenix Empire, who would dare to antagonize them? Unless they have death wishes." Anxiu smiled, "The glory of the Phoenix Empire is now back and there's no stopping it."

With the current world's situation, the empire would surely become the overlord of the world and every empire and kingdom had to follow their bidding or else they'd face the dire consequence.

With their power level, how could they retaliate? The Phoenix Empire could just destroy any empire and kingdom on their whim. As a matter of fact, many supremes and grand ones would be willing to destroy the delinquents on behalf of the empire. By this, both parties would benefit.

Furthermore, the kingdoms under the Phoenix Empire who refused to lend a hand would suffer the punishment of monthly distribution of 80% of their total income and 70% of their total annual income for a lifetime. This punishement had already spelled total decline and downfall of the kingdoms who turned their backs on their master.

The other kingdoms who helped the three empires attack the Phoenix Empire would also have to pay tributes worth of 85% of their total revenues both monthly and yearly and they couldn't escape it as the respective empires governing them also accepted this severe punishement.

Not just that, the three empires which attacked the Phoenix Empire would also have to pay tributes of 90% of their total revenues both monthly and yearly. For a colossal powerhouse like the empires, 90% was too much. It was akin to killing them slowly by crippling their limbs one by one. It was truly the worst punishment aside from death. Sooner or later, the empires and kingdoms would fall into despair and be destroyed.

And this would lead to retaliation. Of course, if the parties were confident enough in defeating Phoenix Empire, that was.

"It's as it should." Jin Rou picked a slice of the apple and tasted it, "Hmm, good apple."

"That is given. It is from an apple tree of this place, so it will be extraordinary.." Anxiu said as he boasted.
