Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1628 - 83: Sealed Holy White Stone Carving (Part 2)

Upon hearing such discussions, Jieao felt a tinge of irritation rising in his mind, causing a twitching pain in his nerves. Driven by instinct to avoid trouble, he moved away from the people engaged in conversation and headed to the other side of the corridor.

This led to the outer edge of the Starship, where one could overlook the distant view of the Milky Way through transparent metal glass in the aerial corridor, as well as the nearby structures of the Star Harbor.

Arriving here, his mind felt significantly more comfortable, so he simply stopped in the corridor, gazing at the scenery outside, the beautiful and vast Milky Way, and the blue planet below. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Where is this?" The enchanting voice echoed in his mind again.

This is... the Tear Moon Flower Crown Residence Star, located in the Emerald Moon Star Domain, he instinctively thought of this information.

"Emerald Moon Star Domain..." the voice hummed, repeating the term.

...

The subsequent Holy Artifact transfer ceremony proceeded smoothly, the "Eternal Covenant of Loranshia" was temporarily placed on the Tear Moon Flower Crown Residence Star. Currently, the Fifth Fleet is stationed in the Emerald Moon Star Domain, and there are several institutions of the "Fire Lotus - Radiant Star" factions on the Tear Moon Flower Crown as well, ensuring safety.

Logically, this "Holy Artifact" should be transported directly to the Federation Capital Star of the Floral Crown Star Domain, where the Third Fleet is located, known for its intense political atmosphere and strict governance. Once there, security would be assured, but its management might not be completely under the control of the "Fire Lotus - Radiant Star" factions.

After the handover, the fleet encountered an attack by Newborn Races on their return journey, an uncommon event for the Federation officials, marking the first time in centuries they faced powers beyond civilization. Soon, the Central Council commenced discussions on the matter.

"Even though the other party didn't succeed, it indicates they haven't entirely disappeared from this galaxy. They might be hiding in some dark corner," a voice expressed concern.

"We should increase the budget to set up patrol points and alert stations on several key routes within the Milky Way."

"No, no, no, the cost is way too high. You probably don't understand how vast the Milky Way is," some debated over the safety hazards.

Despite heated discussions on this issue, some council members remained grave and silent, not worried about those Newborn Races that have long become mere rodents, but about what it means for Prin to relocate the "Holy Artifact" to the Central Star Domain.

According to convention, the Holy Artifact Covenant should be directly sent to the Floral Crown Star Domain for joint custody by the Third Fleet and the Golden Flame Grand Cathedral. Yet, Prin didn't do so and stayed in the Emerald Moon Star Domain.

If during the ancient Earth era, the Imperial Jade Seal symbolized the mandate of heaven and legitimacy to the Eastern Dynasty, then in the current Sixth Era, the "Eternal Covenant of Loranshia" holds similar symbolic meaning. It was initially ordained by that heir and the will of Aijeika, later acquired by Isenisha to inaugurate the Sixth Era and passed down to three countries as a token for preservation. It carries extremely significant meaning and practically powerful influence; whoever holds it gains immense charisma.

Prin doesn't want to be confined to the status of a Scorching Sun Level Songstress but aims to advance further, gaining power even beyond Emuralin's reach.

Many can accept her becoming the most powerful Songstress of the Federation, ruling the nation for decades, but when she seeks to fully control everything and transform the Federation's framework, some began to lose patience.

"We can't keep this up; if she truly gathers all three covenants, we can't predict what drastic changes might happen."

"If she seeks immortality through the 'Loranshia Covenant,' it's not impossible, after all, it holds the power to converse with Him and alter the Extraordinary Laws."

"It's too dangerous; even as a Sunshine-level Songstress, she, too, will face the day of aging and retirement, just like Isenisha, who passed power to her successors peacefully. But with that 'covenant,' can we expect her to be as selfless and great as Isenisha, peacefully handing over power to the next generation?"

"I don't believe it; judging by her character, it's simply impossible."

"A burning chariot won't just stop and extinguish itself. The last thing she looks down on is a coward, whether in adhering to her principles or following her character's inertia, she wouldn't relinquish power."

"If the one obtaining the Holy Artifact now was Hexia Tilan, I might have some confidence because she has a dampened desire for power, whereas for Prin, it's utterly impossible."

"It's a very dangerous act; no one knows what might occur once the three covenants are gathered. She's not the Pure Wind heir, and the characters of Loranshia and the Pure Wind heir are reportedly vastly different. As mere mortals, it's best not to hold too high expectations."

"But what can be done now? Are there any voices left within the Federation that can oppose Prin?"

Short-term absolute power can be accepted, but eternal authority keeps people awake with worry. The migration of the Holy Artifact stirred undercurrents within the Federation. Many factions and forces have devised numerous speculations and concerns.

A week later, Prin arrived at the Tear Moon Flower Crown Residence Star, where the Holy Artifact was housed, accompanied by several experts and scholars deeply versed in Federal history and ancient secrets.

"The Holy Artifact is stored in a temporary Sanctuary underground, guarded by sworn Guardians alongside our personnel," the Commander greeting Prin explained the current status.

"Take me to see the Covenant," Prin instructed them to lead the way.

"Yes, Your Highness," the 'Fire Lotus - Radiant Star' faction Commander loyally complied.

In the following hours, this group passed layer upon layer of defenses and over twenty inspections before finally reaching the hall where the Holy Artifact was placed.

Looking at the over-five-meter tall white boulder in the distance, many appeared puzzled and surprised.

"Is this the Holy Artifact? Why does it look like a mere stone?"

"This stone resembles a standing egg marble, perfectly round and symmetrical. I wonder who created it."

"According to records, it was consecrated by the Cult worshiping the Four Originals, applying a special Secret Technique to segment and seal the 'Eternal Covenant of Loranshia,' employing the authority utilized supposedly borrowed from the relic left by the Witch - Hua Slin."

"Sealed by the Witch's relic, huh..." someone murmured the ancient and mysterious term, recalling those remarkable figures in history.

"If opened, the seal may never be restored through the original method, after all, the witches have submerged into the Aijieka Sea, and no relics of their authority can be found now."

"Ridiculous. Is today's vast Federation, with its civilization of hundreds of billions of humans, truly inferior to the ancient Earth era of the Third Era?"

"There's certainly a way; it's just that no one's examined it yet. We simply don't know."

"This..." Though some doubted, it wasn't the moment to voice strong skepticism, for it was clear the Volcano Songstress intended for the seal to be broken.

Amidst expectant and questioning looks, Prin Keke raised a hand, momentarily halting the discussion, and circled the massive white stone alone. She then stepped forward, bypassing the three Guardians' defense lines, placing a hand gently on the white stone, and closed her eyes to perceive.

The sealed Holy Engraved White Stone resembled the silent Sighing Mountain Range, isolating Prin's consciousness, allowing her only to vaguely sense a strange and unclear rhythm.

The rhythm seemed like singing from a remote distance, ethereal and elusive, yet elusive like an illusion. It seemed to narrate something, but once concentration was applied to listen carefully, nothing was heard.

Confronted with such a Holy Artifact, Prin furrowed her brow slightly. This ambiguous and indiscernible state was somewhat vexing to her, like those who continuously speak in riddles, never giving an answer.

"Start preparing to break this Holy Artifact's seal," she directly ordered.

"But..."

"No 'but's." She turned around, her flaming red eyes imposing immense mental pressure on the dissenters, causing a burning pain like being scorched by flames.

As a Scorching Sun Level Songstress, this was Prin's slightly tempered disposition. If she truly lost her temper, dissenters might be incinerated on the spot.

The decree of a ruler cannot be questioned. Following Prin's order, many departments and organizations within the Federal Center began working in full force, like a massive machine, starting to explore ways to break the seal.
