After evolving from an eagle-man into an angel, I annihilated the gods.

Anastasia felt nauseous.

With the pride of a princess, how could she possibly fall for the son of an earl?

She took a deep breath; she simply couldn't take it anymore.

“Fatan Liro, you can leave. I’m not doing this deal.”

“You need to think this through, Anastasia.”

Fatan Lillo's eyes turned cold.

In the original history.

It was this Fatan Liro who forced Anatania to abandon most of her property and flee the Duchy of Yarrow in a near-disgraceful state.

of course.

Later, after Anatania rose to power.

The Liro family also owed Anastasia's bank a huge sum of money, which they hadn't been able to pay off for generations. They went from being counts and nobles to commoners, and eventually had to sell themselves into slavery.

But now.

History has changed slightly.

Just as the two sides were on the verge of drawing their swords.

A dignified yet gentle voice rang out.

"Anna, I've come as promised."

The sound was so powerful that everyone's eyes turned towards the direction from which it came.

A handsome young man with silver hair and purple eyes strode in, bathed in the soft morning light, like a king.

He was dressed simply, in just a plain white robe with gold trim, yet it could not conceal his innate noble bearing.

He wore no adornments whatsoever, yet he shone as brightly as the sun in the sky.

Everyone present felt a surge of power, as if bathed in golden sunlight—a sacred aura that swept over them.

In the small courtyard.

Anastasia, who had initially looked disgusted, immediately brightened up, shining even more brightly in the light of dawn.

She stood up excitedly, her eyes filled with joy.

"You came!"

behind her.

Those who were meeting Jiang You for the first time all stared wide-eyed.

"This... is this Anna's sweetheart?"

"There's no mistake, I've never seen Anna so excited before."

"A face as bright as the sky, a demeanor as noble as a deity—does Sister Anna deserve such a person?"

"Theo, if you can't speak, then don't speak."

Outside the courtyard.

The handsome young man with silver hair and purple eyes walked straight into the courtyard.

Wherever he went, people and horses alike instinctively gave way, and even the flowers and grass on the ground dared not obstruct the king's majesty.

He quickly walked up to Anastasia, looked at the girl who had grown into a full-grown adult with a sigh, and smiled gently.

“I’m here, Anna.”

"I said that I would spend every birthday with you before you turn 18."

Anastasia could hardly contain her excitement.

"Great!"

Just as the two were enjoying their tender moment...

A deep, cold voice appeared.

"Who are you, and from which family do you come? And why are you here today to see Miss Anastasia?"

Fatan Liro, having regained his senses, frowned and asked, looking at Jiang You and Anastasia's intimate behavior.

His words startled Anastasia and her friends behind her, but Jiang You ignored him.

He genuinely didn't care about this guy; he was like a roadside weed—who would pay attention to him?

The fact that someone in a high position didn't trample on the person they passed by shows their benevolence.

But Fatan Liro bowed respectfully to Jiang You and continued to probe.

"You don't have any noble crests on you, perhaps to conceal your identity. But I believe that someone like you should know the etiquette of noble interactions. In the presence of the ancient jade nobles, you should maintain the most basic courtesy."

He had a deep sense of pride and identification with his aristocratic status.

Similarly, he was unwilling to give up Anastasia, a treasure lost to time.

More importantly, this is the Duchy of Yaro, and there are no silver-haired, purple-eyed nobles in the duchy.

From this perspective, Fatan Lillo, despite having a geographical advantage, was still willing to exercise restraint, making him a decent successor.

However, his approach worked for ordinary nobles, but not for Jiang You.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe emerged from the shadows and approached Fatan Liro and his group, shouting rudely.

"Your Majesty!"

The overwhelming aura of the powerful Sequence 4-like creature forced Fatan Lilloliro and his group to their knees.

The appearance of the powerful superhuman made Fatan Lillo's heart sink, but he still gritted his teeth and said.

"How dare you treat a nobleman with such humiliation?"

"Hmph, what kind of nobles are they? In front of my master, they are no different from dust trampled on the ground."

The middle-aged man in black robes continued.

“Do you know that even your ancestor Liro was just a servant who plowed the fields for the Sun King back then? He only became a ‘farmer’ because of a bit of luck, and only by making meritorious contributions was he able to rise to power.”

"Compared to my master, neither your ancestors nor Grand Duke Yaro are worthy of shining his shoes. What are you anyway?"

"You are insulting the Jade Nobles!"

Fatan Lillo gritted his teeth, about to argue.

But then the silver-haired, purple-eyed young man turned his head and glanced at the crowd. The supreme indifference in his eyes truly made him look like a god looking down on all living beings.

"Durens, you and they, get out of here."

"Yes, Master!"

The middle-aged man in the black robe felt a chill run down his spine and quickly replied.

He was one of the ten dragons that left the island, and he was currently following Jiang You.

Fatan Lillo, however, was intimidated by Jiang You's imposing presence and finally remembered to whom the symbol of silver hair and purple eyes belonged.

"Silver hair and purple eyes, only the Sun King from ten thousand years ago had such qualities."

"He must be... a descendant of the Sun King!"

After realizing the truth, from that moment on, he could never straighten his bent back again.

"The Sun King actually has descendants still alive!"

Compared to the great Sun King, the Emerald Nobles were nothing more than a bunch of newly rich peasants.

After everyone left.

Jiang You then spent another day playing with Anastasia.

This time, they braved the wind and snow on the northern ice plains, collected seashells on the eastern coast, watched the sunset from the deck of a steamship on the high seas, and looked down upon all living beings from the clouds in the sky.

The day is over.

They returned to the courtyard.

Anastasia finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Now that I'm an adult, will you stop coming?"

Jiang You smiled.

"Correct."

"Then we must part ways."

The girl could not hide her disappointment.

But Jiang You continued to laugh.

"We must part ways, but not now."

“I also need to go to the Southern Empire; we can travel together for a while.”

After years of investigation.

He finally discovered some clues about the Supreme Mountain Green.

Decades ago.

The emperor who ascended to the throne in the Southern Empire was not the eldest prince with overwhelming advantages, but an empress who was previously unknown.

After the empress ascended to the throne.

Strange artificial monsters appeared in the army of the Southern Empire.

Interestingly, most of these monsters have wings.

This is how Jiang You discovered the wonder of it.

A few days later.

Anastasia and her companions packed their bags and set off for the Southern Empire together with Jiang You.

on the way.

She was unusually happy, like a young girl.

.........

A few months later.

Arafaga.

The great and glorious capital of the Southern Empire.
