The Ice Palace currently has seven living Elders.
To obtain the title of elder in the Ice Palace, one required Demigod cultivation, no matter if it was only the First Stage.
Of the seven elders, the First Elder was already at the Fourth Stage, which was the pinnacle of Demigods, only needing one more step to become a God.
Unfortunately, that one step was really very difficult, stopping so many geniuses.
And even if one somehow succeeded, it did not mean that one was instantly equivalent to the Ice Goddess because the God Realm itself was divided into three stages.
A First Stage God had one Divinity, but the Ice Goddess or the Elf Queen already had three.
In other words, they were the highest peak of cultivation known at the moment.
At this moment, the seven elders appeared in front of the palace entrance.
They were all women who mostly looked like middle-aged women.
Their styles varied, some wore armor, some carried ice swords, and some wore short white dresses. Their hair color also varied, from black, blue, purple, and others.
No matter which one, they are equally beautiful with an aura that seems to be able to change the landscape of the land.
Behind them, there were dozens of other beautiful middle-aged women. They were high-ranking officials with High Stage Hegemon cultivation, consisting of Seventh Stage to Ninth Stage Hegemons.
The Ice Goddess had summoned them to come to the palace, so they came straight away, thinking that the Ice Goddess wanted to discuss something big. Some thought there would be a war with factions equal to them.
Unfortunately, the scene inside the palace hall left their mouths open while their eyes shook uncontrollably.
How could they not, the Ice Goddess and the Elf Queen, the two supreme figures were standing with uncertain expressions.
On the other hand, a young man casually sat on the throne that should only be occupied by the Ice Goddess.
He didn't just sit, but hugged the beautiful young woman whom they instantly recognized as the Goddess' disciple.
Mu Yixue, despite burying her face into Ciel's chest and feeling the warm sensation from Ciel's body, she still trembled as she felt many gazes fixed on her back.
She wondered how she was going to explain all this? And would she still be okay? What if the entire Ice Palace was hostile towards her?
Ciel stroked her hair as she trembled while his eyes looked at the women outside.
Some were really very beautiful, having charming middle-aged figures.
Ciel could not help but admit that the Ice Palace was indeed a paradise for beautiful women.
"Come in!" The Ice Goddess suddenly said.
Her voice echoed and spread throughout the palace hall.
Plus, it was as if it emitted a force that prompted the women in front of the palace to enter into it.
They naturally obeyed, stepping into the palace with their eyes constantly staring back and forth between the Ice Goddess and Ciel.
Of course, some who were familiar with the Goddess immediately spoke up.
"Goddess, what's going on here?" asked the First Elder.
She was a beautiful middle-aged woman who wore armor, had silver hair like the Ice Goddess, but her hair was slightly curly.
Her figure could be said to be very sexy, whether it was her ass or her breasts, larger than normal size.
It is said that she is still related to the Ice Goddess. Although not siblings, they are from the same clan.
Because of that relationship, she can talk to the Ice Goddess more easily.
Unfortunately, this time the Goddess did not answer her questions.
At the same time, the Second Elder, a middle-aged woman who wore a short white dress, had a slim figure, and short bob-style black hair pointed her hand at the throne.
She was trembling, something that had been happening ever since she appeared in front of the palace.
At this point, she could not hold it in anymore.
"Yixue, what are you doing there? Hurry up and answer." She shouted.
When she heard her voice, Mu Yixue became even more frightened to the point of her fingers pressing against Ciel's body.
When looking at the woman's face, Ciel thought that she was indeed somewhat similar to Mu Yixue.
"Who is she?" asked Ciel as he patted her waist gently.
"My aunt," Mu Yixue replied in a barely audible voice.
"Oh..." Ciel showed a strange expression.
He then looked directly into the woman's eyes while the latter also looked into his eyes.
"Listen to me!"
At this moment, the Ice Goddess spoke again so everyone turned their gazes towards her.
When they looked at her, Divine Energy flowed from her fingers.
It had an ice-like color but emitted a boundless majestic aura. Even just a hint of that energy made people want to kneel down to the Goddess.
A moment later, the energy became a blue inscription.
(Decree!)
The word was written at the top of the inscription, something that made the elders hold their breath because the order added with the word Decree was something absolute.
"From today onwards, Ciel, will be the Ice Prince of the Ice Palace, having equal status and authority with me. His orders are the same as mine." The Goddess said, in a cold tone that was devoid of emotion so that no one could tell what she was thinking when she said that.
Upon hearing her words, all the elders and members of the Ice Palace almost fell over from staggering.
As for Ciel, he held his chin, feeling strange about the title the Ice Goddess had given him since he didn't even have an ice technique.
Although he now had control over the Ice Palace, it wasn't like he had any interest in learning the power of ice.
It's not a matter of wanting to or not, but talent.
He knew that he had no compatibility with ice power.
"Goddess, how did this happen?" The First Elder asked in a hurried tone.
However, the Goddess replied in a cold tone. "Just do as I say unless you want to die!"
Even to the First Elder, the Ice Goddess did not hesitate to show killing intent, leaving the armored woman seemingly at a loss for words.
Little did she know that the Ice Goddess was really in such a bad mood that she could have lost control and killed her.
"You can leave now," added the Goddess.
When seeing her increasingly cold eyes, everyone became afraid.
"Wait!"
However, before they could leave, Ciel suddenly called out to them, leaving them with no other choice but to turn their gazes towards him, including the Goddess who knitted her brows.
Ciel did not stand up, he laughed softly and said, "I just wanted to tell you all to spread the word, make sure the entire Life Realm knows about me, anyone who does not perform this task will be punished."
