Jin Rou sized up the soldiers. Currently, there were at least one hundred soldiers stationed by the entrance gate. The empire was taking everything seriously. He paused for a moment and said, "I think it's best for you to handle this."

He was talking about Mrs. Lei. The latter nodded and stepped up, "I am once a member of the Lei Clan, can you please grant us entry?"

Mrs. Lei didn't hide the fact that she was already disowned which earned a smile from Jin Rou.

"Are you Xiya Lei?" One of the guards asked.

"Indeed, I am that person." Mrs. Lei nodded, confirming the question.

"This..." The guard was found himself to be stuck between a hard rock and hard place. Although there were no orders that the outcasted member of the clan couldn't enter the empire again, he was uncomfortable of letting them enter. After all, he had the support of the Lei Clan, that's why he was in his current position right now.

"Let them in." Just he was about to decline their entry, the commander appear out of nowhere, "I know what you're thinking, but there are no such orders and you have no right to decide for them of what should be done."

The guard instantly bowed his head and became apologetic. He was just thinking about the face of the Lei Clan yet he was already reprimanded like this.

"Please come in. If you have any concerns, you should just use my name anytime you want. Just say that Commander Kang has given you rights." Commander Kang smiled and said.

Jin Rou didn't comment about this although it was fishy that the commander was helping them out of the blue.

However, Mrs. Lei had already filled in the gaps for him, "He is one of my suitors in the past but I have rejected him. I don't know why he's still helping me now."

"Ohh, I see." Jin Rou smirked. So that's what's going on, "Well, it seems to me that he still has the same affection for you." historical

"Furthermore, he looks strong." Jin Rou added.

"Please, Young Master. I have no such interest in him so even he helped us right now, I don't think I can return his feelings even he became a Saint." Mrs. Lei shook her head. Currently, they were now entering the gates.

In Fate World, there were also cultivation realms to speak of. Respectively, here are as follows: Mortal, Saint, High God, and Dao Supreme.

95% of cultivators had reached only the Mortal realm while 3% reached the Saint realm, and 2% reached the High God realm. As for Dao Supremes? No one knew if some were still alive. Those who stepped up into this realm could only be counted in fingers.

Commander Kang was said to be a peak Mortal, only a step away from Saint. Once he reached the realm, he would be promoted to even higher position.

Because of this, many noble families were trying to wed their beautiful daughters to him. As a matter of fact, even being a concubine would be fine as long as they get Commander Kang's protection and affection.

Yet Mrs. Lei wasn't interested despite being the one chosen by the commander. Her heart was set only to that single person. However, he was no longer alive.

Just when Mrs. Lei and Jin Rou were about to disappear from his sight, Commander Kang took a deep breath and said, "I have heard of the news. May your son rest in peace. My deepest condolences."

"Thank you." Mrs. Lei nodded and continued walking. She didn't even look back to see Commander Kang again which broke the latter's heart even more.

"He seems to be a decent guy. With that kind of man, even the Lei Clan will perhaps have to consider him seriously." Jin Rou suggested.

"I know, but I truly can't return his feelings. I have only one man in my heart. And although he is now gone, he will live forever here." Mrs. Lei said emotionally. The handsome man suddenly resurfaced in her memories.

Jin Rou didn't say anything. He had no right to meddle in their affairs after all, "Take me to the Imperial Capital."

"What are we gonna do there?" Mrs. Lei was surprised. Imperial Capital was the most guarded place of all the cities here. Phoenix Empires has thousands of cities as the empire itself was so big that it felt like an independent world.

"I just wanna take a look how my master's subordinates are taking care of his precious empire." Jin Rou smirked.

Mrs. Lei was confused what he was talking about but she refrained from asking more.

Deep Ocean Empire. It was one of the seven empires governing the entire Fate World. Under them were 35,000 kingdoms, perfectly subordinated with no chance of retaliation. Out of the seven empires, Deep Ocean Empire was said to be the most ruthless and greedy one of all.

An old man in blue robe was sitting on the throne with his eyes closed suddenly opened them, revealing billions of stars. However, they lost their shine he revealed his golden teeth, laughing sinisterly.

"Ancestor, what's wrong?" The empress suddenly woke up because of the abnormal trait the old man was showing. She was feeling uneasy because of it.

"Tilda, the Heavens are helping us." The old man laughed once again, "Feng Lin's successor has entered this world. Now, I have the chance to have the strongest legacy of all the Universal Laws."

The old man was also a universal law. However, his power was constantly declining because he couldn't trick time no matter what he did. He already lived for trillions of years and seemed to be ending his life. However, now that Jin Rou appeared in this world, his hopeless eyes suddenly lit up. The legacy of Universal Law Feng Lin was so great that it could deem the latest hidden legacy useless!

Matilda gaped as she heard this. If the ancestor consumed the legacy, their empire would soar into the next level immediately, being the top empire that could dominate the whole world.. If that's the case, all of the people would see them in respect and awe.
