At the sound of those words , the room became silent while the tension grew thicker.
It's one thing for the queen of elves to visit a genius born to the elves especially since she and the elders of the other clans grew up together with the matriarch like brothers and sisters.
Now a man who not too long ago beat up their queen ,made her kneel before him and married the queens sister in apolitical marriage came to see a genius who supposedly surpasses his new born son praised to be the greatest genius of the epoch in the heavenly realms.
So you can imagine the nervousness of the people in the room as they slowly encircled the mother and baby instinctively.
And just then the empror burst through the door, with a face of a middle aged man,broad shoulders and piercing blue eyes that his a tiny bit of pride.
Looking at the man,there were traces of anger,humiliation, respect, fear ,awe and even a bit of list from the women.
" it's been a while everyone, hopefully you've been well" the empror said in a carefree manner.
Even though they had conflicting feelings about this man they still had to show respect.
"My lord, what brings you to our humble world in such a day". Of course every one knew why he'd come ,but they still had to put up this front for the sake of face.
" of course it's to see the future genius of the heavenly realms, now if I may". Cutting down all the bullshit,he simply asked to see the kid and as they were still thinking about it, the calm voice of Lea sounded out " sorry your majesty but the baby is tired and needs some sleep perhaps another time if you may " hearing this, the lips of every one couldn't help but twitch as they looked at the highly energetic baby playing with her thumb. Looking at the girl who had just blatantly lied to him, the heavenly empror was slightly amused as even battle hardened warriors didn't dare look him in the eye,yet this little girl not only liked him in the eye but blatantly lied to his face while doing it.
Now to put it in perspective it would be the same as an ant trying to fight a fully grown man. After all when one looks at the stages ,Lea was in the heavenly immortal stage while the rest were in the dao seeking stage and dao seizing stage while the heavenly emperor is in the immortal emperor realm,a stage he created himself.
To put it in better understanding, after the void shattering, there is the earth immortal, human immortal, heavenly immortal, halfstep dao ascension, dao ascension, dao seeking, dao seizing and finally immortal emperor.
To put it bluntly Lea had just truly attained heavenly immortal stage which is the sign of a demonic level genius but just that.
