Lirian felt a raging fire building up in his stomach, it was a type of fury he never really experienced before, hearing someone speaking about his woman in such a manner made him want to rip the zealot inside out.

'Huh, so this is how all those men Penn (Number 14) felt like when he told them he was going to turn them into cuckholds,' Lirian thought with surprise, his past self, Penn, had made it a habit of attacking men by playing with their wives and lovers, then he'd brag about it in their husbands faces.

That thought allowed Lirian to regain his calm, and a grating laugh sounded from the bottom of his throat.

"Jejejeje," Lirian laughed coldly facing Number 2, "You want to know my secret," Lirian said with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Very well since you want to know so much I'll tell you," Lirian said with a sly smile.

"In truth you should know that unless someone is a true god it's impossible for me to be effected by their life hierarchy suppression," when Lirian finished speaking a smile creeped onto his face, he knew that they wouldn't believe him, but that was the truth.

Lirian didn't expect them to believe him because such a technique would be completely heaven defying, and to Lirian's knowledge no such technique existed, the only reason he was able to completely resist and negate life hierarchy suppression, was due to his godly constitution.

Life hierarchy suppression is a form of dominance used against those whose bodies have limits, cultivation is how a person breaks the limits of their bodies however so long as they face someone with a substantially higher cultivation the suppression will affect them.

In Lirian's case it was completely different as he was born a god his body had no limitations; it was evident from how his stats in the system were able to exceed the mortal limitation of twenty without him cultivating.

In the world of cultivation there were several types of special bodies people could be born with, in order they were, royal bodies, emperor bodies, heavenly bodies, divine bodies and lastly godly bodies.

The special body constitutions were extremely rare, to Lirian the godly constitution had always been a myth, something he theorised but was unable to confirm, because his theory showed that a godly constitution was only possible for someone who was born as a god, which he believed to be impossible until his current life.

As for the other special body constitutions they were extremely rare, divine constitutions only existed in the immortal realm and they were exceptionally rare, Lirian doubted that there would be more than a hundred within each of the five existing and operating universes of the plain.

As for heavenly bodies in the seven great civilizations only two existed, one was her majesty Esmeralda Titania the current queen of the Titania Empire and the other was Emperor Albus Clovis, the current emperor of the Clovis Empire and Lirian's adoptive father.

Lirian faced Number 2 with a mocking smile on his face and broke out into a fit of laughs, "While life hierarchy suppression has no effect on me I'm afraid that thrash like you is incapable of learning my methods," Lirian mocked him venting his anger.

It would be a lie if Lirian said he didn't want to rip apart Number 2 for what he said about Edith but for the current him it was impossible to do such a thing, so instead he went with ridiculing the zealot.

In Number 2's eyes no matter how talented Lirian was, he was still an ant, for him to be ridiculed by someone he viewed to be an ant was beyond infuriating.

Edith couldn't see Number 2's face but the she could clearly hear his teeth grinding together, sensing the fury of Number 2, Edith no longer felt afraid she came to terms with the fact that she would most likely die here, so she finally got rid of her fear and felt a deep sense of admiration for Lirian's ability to rile up their enemies.

"Grab the girl!" Number 2 roared at the zealot's, he wasn't the only one overcome by anger, Lirian played all of them into appearing only to ridicule them, it was only natural that the others were angry too.

"Since you can't appreciate the grace I've shown, we'll do this the hard way," Number 2 shouted at Lirian in anger.

As the other zealots moved a sudden bone chilling ice appeared, it did nothing to Edith and Lirian but the zealots slowed down significantly, under the influence of the cold, they came to a halt and looked for the source of the coldness.

"I shall see who dares to touch my daughter," an ice cold voice sounded and several million thorns of ice came raining down, in just a second the entire region had become a world of snow and ice, covering everything in Edith's field of view, the falling ice thorns forced the group of zealots to retreat back.

Edith was hardly paying attention to the zealots her focus was solely on the voice she had heard as it was one she remembered extremely well and longed to hear all the time.

Edith felt like she was spinning in circles as she scanned the vicinity, when suddenly a group of twenty people appeared just a step away from her, it was as if they had been there the entire time, but her eyes remained fixed on only one person.

Edith felt her eyes well up with tears, because it was the first time in her life that she was able to see her mother in the flesh, in the families children aren't allowed to meet their parents unless they have made numerous achievements, and for someone like Edith whose mother was the chief advisor and her father who was the Lord of the Eden family meeting them was a very distant dream of hers.

As a candidate she was supposed to be able to meet her mother before embarking on her 200 year trial, but after her attempts to help Lirian against Telamon, her mother declared that she would not see her off, it was a source of pain in her heart and she still blamed Lirian for it but now she got to see her mother.

Edith stared fixedly at her mother taking in everything about her, and her mother was a true beauty with a beautiful bronze skin tone, breasts that were almost twice the size of her own, and saliva inducing curves, Edith inherited her eyes, however the only thing about her mother was that she held an extremely cold and aloof disposition making it appear impossible to approach her.

"M-Mother," Edith stammered nervously.

Milan looked at Edith but the coldness didn't disappear from her eyes as she looked at Edith, "Hush now, you are still being punished for what you did," Milan answered her.

"However if your gamble was correct and his majesty the Emperor finds his excellency Telamon guilty, I will meet with you before you go on your trial," Milan added quickly, from her tone it was clear that that was all she would say to Edith for now.

Edith didn't dare to say anything else, she knew her mother's temperament well enough, but a smile bloomed on her lips as she learn that there was a chance her mother would see her off.

Now that her mother appeared Edith had no doubt that she would be able survive the ordeal, it was like all her worries had been silently washed away.

"What the hell are you people doing here!" Lirian shouted weakly he was still weak from the battles earlier, but the elites could feel his anger and a trace of killing intent that locked onto all of them.

Lirian's anger was no false front and he truly wanted to kill the elites that appeared in front of him, his reaction took everyone by surprise including Edith, his tone held not even the slightest bit of respect for them by comparison it could be said that he was cordial with the zealots when compared to his treatment of the elites from the great families.

"Saving your life!" Milan answered coldly one could feel the displeasure in her voice from the way Lirian spoke to her.

"Like I needed your help to survive!" Lirian spat coldly, "I already had a way to escape from them with Edith," his words shocked everyone, after everything they had witnessed Lirian do they knew that he wasn't one to make such things up, but all the elites still looked at him coldly.

They did appear to save him, yet he was speaking to them like they were criminals.

"I hope for the sake of your entire families, that you are here under the emperor's orders, because if I have to pay the price for your appearance here you will sincerely regret this day," Lirian threatened.

It was then that the elite's eyes widened in realisation and they understood why Lirian was completely enraged by their appearance.
