CHAPTER 83: CHAPTER83-IGNITING THE HOPE AND FUTURE OF HUMANITY

Leo stared at him.

"For revenge?"

At the mention of these two words, Yelchin’s entire body trembled, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Yes!"

"I seek revenge!!"

As his words fell,

a long-dormant power began to surge within him.

Unnoticed by Yelchin, the ashes of his heart were reignited.

Seeing this, Leo nodded slightly.

"I can give you a chance for revenge, but your resolve must be proven by action."

Yelchin felt a great sense of relief.

As long as there was a chance, he would do anything.

"The Sky Council can’t possibly have only you left, right?"

Leo asked.

Yelchin’s heart jolted.

"Do you mean...?"

"Go find them, all the survivors, whether from the Sky Council, the Church of the Divine Edict, or the Human Mage Tower,"

Leo commanded.

"Bring them to Dalton. I will help you restore their strength, and even take it further."

His eyes deepened as he gazed into the void.

"When the Clawclash Empire tears the stars apart once more, that will be the time for your revenge."

Yelchin nodded without hesitation.

"Understood, President!"

"I will go at once!"

He struggled to stand,

but due to his severe injuries and emotional agitation, he almost fell again.

Leo shook his head helplessly.

He flicked a strand of life energy, which instantly merged into Yelchin’s body.

The surge of vitality accelerated the healing of Yelchin’s wounds at a visible rate.

His aura was even stronger than it had been in his prime!

He looked at Leo with gratitude and shame.

"Thank you for your grace, sir!"

"Go ahead."

Leo waved his hand.

Yelchin bowed deeply before resolutely leaving Dalton.

He knew that the surviving members of his race were scattered across the universe.

Some might have already lost all hope, or perhaps even perished.

Bringing them back together would not be easy.

But for the future of humanity, even if it meant force, he would bring those former comrades before the unfathomable President!

He firmly believed that when they saw Leo and felt the unimaginable power, as well as the shared human identity, they would, like him, reignite the hope that had long since been extinguished!

In the time that followed,

the entire Sakend plane seemed to fall into a sudden silence.

But Leo could clearly foresee that this was merely the calm before the storm.

However, this period of peace was exactly what Dalton needed to solidify its foundations.

Leo’s gaze turned toward a distant corner of the plane, deep and calm.

At that moment, Fiona returned.

In the World Tree courtyard,

the gray-robed youth placed a slightly disheveled Fiona on the ground.

"Ouch, sir, could you be a little gentler?"

Fiona stood up,

but when she saw Leo watering plants nearby, a deep sense of shame suddenly washed over her.

"President, I... I’ve disappointed you."

Recalling how confident she had been before setting off, her cheeks burned with embarrassment.

Her pride as a dragon race member had completely crumbled.

However, Leo did not immediately respond to Fiona, instead turning his attention to the youth beside her.

"Koro, thank you for your hard work."

Leo’s eyes showed a hint of approval.

Koro was the boy Leo had saved from the demon race years ago.

Upon arriving in Dalton, Koro had witnessed the strength and magnificence of the universe, which made him realize his own insignificance.

Determined to grow stronger, he had asked Leo to send him to the Infernal Corridor for trials.

Even Leo had not fully anticipated that this young man would not only survive the grueling trial, but also obtain the ancient Death Mark.

His willpower was terrifyingly strong.

Even Leo had to secretly praise his foresight!

Hearing Leo’s words, Koro knelt on one knee, his right hand over his chest.

"It is my honor to serve you."

At Leo’s gesture, Koro silently withdrew from the courtyard.

Fiona lowered her head in shame, as if wanting to bury herself in the stone cracks.

"Fiona."

Leo finally spoke.

"President, I am ready to accept any punishment!"

Fiona hurriedly responded.

Leo, however, gently shook his head.

"I told you, the glory of Dalton Town is no less than that of the dragon race’s royal court."

"In fact, I had foreseen your failure."

"If you had chosen to remain with the dragon race, I would not have interfered."

"But now that you’ve chosen Dalton, you must understand what that means."

At these words, Fiona’s eyes reddened.

"President..."

She seemed to think of something and hesitated.

"What about the dragon race..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Leo raised his hand to interrupt her.

"The internal affairs of the dragon race have nothing to do with me."

"This is entirely your decision."

The future of the dragon race lay in Fiona’s hands.

In that instant, Fiona understood Leo’s deeper meaning.

"President, I understand."

"Go ahead. When you weren’t here, Lilith often mentioned you."

"Yes, President."

Fiona quickly got up and left.

With a few light steps, she rushed into Lilith’s room.

In the garden, Leo’s gaze turned toward the infinite depths of the plane.

And Dalton entered a relatively peaceful period of development.

For someone of his existence, time had lost its meaning.

Millennia passed.

Without a doubt, during this time, Dalton had risen to become the strongest force in the Sakend plane, without question!

Humanity’s status was once again at the pinnacle among the many intelligent races.

Inside Dalton Town,

a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the top of a mage tower, shooting into the sky.

This marked the birth of a Divine Monarch rank powerhouse.

The town’s residents merely glanced at the direction of the energy fluctuation before returning to their work, clearly accustomed to such occurrences.

The beings of the entire Sakend plane had also become numb to such aura fluctuations.

Over the years, the promotion waves from Dalton had been continuous, as if constantly declaring its invincible strength.

Not only Divine Monarch rank, even the overwhelming presence of a Supreme God rank had once shaken the entire plane.

On that occasion, nearly all the prominent leaders of the plane had come to Dalton Town to congratulate.

Supreme God rank—

That was a supreme existence that one could rarely find throughout the entire Sakend plane!

Some ancient races might possess such depth, but most kept it hidden, as that was their trump card.

But Dalton Town clearly had no need to hide.

It was well-known that the ruler of this miraculous city, Leo, could easily crush any Sanctuary rank supreme existence!

Under this premise, did Dalton need to conceal its strength?

Inside the President’s residence hall,

Elarielle, who had just completed her breakthrough, entered the hall.

At this moment, Aragis, Elizabeth, and the others had already gathered.

"Elarielle, you’re a bit slow today."

Elizabeth smiled playfully.

Elarielle returned a gentle smile.

Among her companions, her talent was also top-tier, but her path to advancement was more focused on solidifying her foundation.

And it wasn’t that her promotion was slow, but rather, the companions around her were simply too extraordinary!
