Armipotent

Lu An had a hidden meaning; it was to provoke Arnor to attack them. If Arnor reacted by attacking them after sensing the killing intent, he could kick not just Arnor but the whole Giteron Dynasty. That was his real intention, getting rid of the annoying guy.

Arnor would not take that action kindly. He was about to burst out in anger, but the stone door opened. Three people came out one elf, a knight in white armor, and a human. The killing intent reached inside, so the three came out to check what had happened.

The human was someone Tang Shaoyang knew, Reinar Thamsen. The guy who helped Tang Shaoyang, but also the reason why he spoke in public that this was Earth's first dimensional tower.

Reinar glanced at Arnor and then looked at the dressed-up Tang Shaoyang. He observed the group, and it did not take him a long time to realize that Tang Shaoyang was more than a mere scout.

Meanwhile, the bearded knight approached the knights of the Divine Church, and the elf approached Ivert. They clearly wanted to know what happened.

"I don't need to ask to know what happened." Reinar let out a sigh and approached Tang Shaoyang. "I apologize on his behalf. I put too much trust in him not to cause trouble."

Tang Shaoyang waited for a while before responding with a nod. "Apology accepted."

"I assume you are not coming as a scout but a representative of Earth?" Reinar asked with a smile. He was glad that Tang Shaoyang was not unreasonable to continue the dispute.

"I am not representing Earth, but the Tang Empire." Tang Shaoyang corrected Reinar. He purposely corrected it to mislead Reinar and the others. If he said that, his words implied that the Tang Empire had united the Earth while they did not. He was not lying either because he was indeed representing his empire, not the earth technically.

"I see." Reinar nodded. "Since the problem is solved, let's come in. We will start the meeting soon."

Arnor was, of course, not planning to back down so easily, but Reinar threw a gaze at Arnor. The former grinding his teeth, enduring the humiliation. He looked away from Reinar and entered the building.

Reinar told Tang Shaoyang, who came to join the meeting as they entered the building together. None of the leaders from the other three factions came to the meeting. The Giteron Dynasty was represented by the Thamsen Household, and Tang Shaoyang got to know that the Thamsen Household was a Marquis of the Giteron Dynasty. The head of the ThamsenFamily led the Giteron Dynasty for this dimensional tower.

Meanwhile, the highest order of the Federation of Allurion also did not attend the meeting. The federation was led by a council, and none of the council members were in this dimensional tower. It was the same for the Divine Church; the Pope gave his authority to the Saintess to lead the church in this dimensional tower. No leader from the three factions attended the meeting.

That was big information for Tang Shaoyang. It told him that his guess was not wrong. The other factions took the Sky Level Tower as a way to nurture their weaker forces. Trial of battle was the best way to hone and train their soldiers, after all. Tang Shaoyang also believed this was the most effective method.

Reinar led them to the area with four tables. Four rectangular stone tables, forming a square with three chairs for each table. "This is Ea- the Tang Empire's table."

"Thank you." Tang Shaoyang nodded and took a seat. Zhang Mengyao took the chair to his left, and Virion took the chair to his right. Aleesa, Lu An, Moonsong, and Marshal Alton stood behind them.

Tang Shaoyang observed the other tables. He did not think that the others would bring more guards than him. Ten individuals stood behind the three representatives, exuding a strong aura. Reinar took a seat next to the old man with the thick white bird of the Giteron Dynasty's table.

Not long after he took the seat, the representative from the Federation Allurion broke the silence and led the meeting. "Thank you for sparing your time to come to the meeting. There's a lot to talk about, but before we get to the main topic, shouldn't we start it with an introduction?"

The federation's representative was a beastmen. He did not have fur on the skin, but the whisker and the furry ears were so obvious not to recognize him. He had yellow eyes, yet sharp like a wolf. His voice was gentle and pleasant to her, yet full of confidence.

"My name is Redvers Scovel, Federation of Allurion's Prime Minister VI. I am managing the sixth world of the federation; hence it's Prime Minister VI." The beastmen smiled, revealing his sharp teeth. His gentle voice was a contrast to his intimidating outlook.

Redvers was so proud when he told everyone that the federation controlled six worlds. It was as if he was announcing that the federation was the strongest faction among the four.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised by that. Six worlds, it was a tell how strong the federation was by conquering six worlds. The Giteron Dynasty only had two worlds, and he did not know anything yet about the Divine Church.

After Redvers sat down, the old man with a thick white beard stood up. "I am the Giteron Dynasty's representative for this tower. My name is Augusto Thamsen, a Marquis of the Giteron Dynasty." Simple and clear, and then the old man sat back.

It was Tang Shaoyang's turn. He stood up. "My name is Tang Shaoyang, Emperor of the Tang Empire. This will be our first dimensional tower." He followed Augusto's method, which was simple and clear. The stares became even more intense after he announced that he was the Emperor.

Next was Divine Church's turn, and the white-robed figure stood up. She pulled off the hood that covered her features. Behind the hood was silver-white-haired beauty with golden eyes. Her appearance was surely eye-catching, and she had the look of a Saintess; at least, her look gave off that kind of vibe.

"I am the representative of the Divine Church. My name is Marisha, Saintess of the Divine Church for the third world." She smiled, which captivated most of the men around.

However, the womanizer Tang Shaoyang had a slight frown as he looked at the Saintess. Not because the beauty did something wrong to him but because of his absurd high sense, sensing hostility from the Saintess. Not just the Saintess, but he also sensed slight hostility from the other knights too. It baffled Tang Shaoyang because he felt like he never offended the Divine Church. In fact, this was his second interaction with them. There was no hostility in their first meeting, which caught him off guard when he sensed the hostility this time.
