Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers decided to stay.
After all, the time flow in this space-time differs from the modern world; they have time to personally witness the calamity of Heavenly Origin that Damian Carlson spoke of.
Perhaps it was because of this day’s honesty, Scarlett sensed that both Damian and Althea felt a few indescribable feelings of belonging towards her and Samuel.
Even in some mysterious way, the bond between them deepened.
And within these hurried preparations over the three days, the coronation ceremony for Scarlett finally arrived as promised.
As requested by Samuel, everything was kept simple, yet despite this, the coronation was still grand and unprecedented.
On this day, the winter snow began to melt, and the sky, which had been overcast for days, finally revealed daylight.
Scarlett, dressed in the magnificent attire of the Empress of Heavenly Origin, ascended the steps with the support of palace attendants on both sides, witnessed by all the officials of Heavenly Origin, and approached the emperor, who was equally regally dressed.
This was the coronation ceremony.
It was also another grand marriage between Samuel Chalmers and Scarlett Jennings in this space-time.
Although this marriage borrowed someone else’s body.
But in their eyes, they were always each other’s former selves.
As Scarlett ascended the steps, the clouds in the sky gradually revealed more sunlight.
Golden sunlight sprinkled down, bringing warmth to the winter earth.
And under the sunlight that pierced through the clouds atop the royal palace, Samuel watched the splendid figure slowly approaching him.
With the golden light shining, they seemed to see each other in their original forms again.
Her almond eyes slightly curved, and her clear gaze remained as clear as when they first met.
This empress attire in his eyes was as dazzling and splendid as what he saw in the Mirage Realm of Artefact Village.
As they gazed at each other, Scarlett looked up to see Damian standing hidden, solitary above the majestic hall behind Samuel.
At his feet, Amber and Susan similarly looked eagerly in this direction. When Scarlett’s gaze fell on them, Amber immediately waved his chubby hand, trying to interact with her.
Although he was primarily fond of Althea, he also liked Scarlett, who dressed him in many beautiful clothes.
Even more important, Susan liked her too.
Scarlett blinked, and in the presence of numerous courtiers, she didn’t respond much.
Amber and Susan were a bit disappointed.
Damian lowered his head, glanced at them, and simply said,
"Wait a little longer. Since this is a grand wedding, we shall also offer a gift."
Below, Samuel and Scarlett had already followed the official’s steps to complete another set of processes, and Scarlett officially accepted the Empress’s insignia of Heavenly Origin.
Afterward, with Samuel’s support, she stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
A gathering of courtiers stepped forward, kneeled before the two, and chanted, wishing longevity to the Empress.
Samuel instinctively tightened his grip on Scarlett’s hand beside him.
On their clasped hands, the Golden Light Bracelet representing the Heavenly Dao appeared increasingly brilliant at this moment.
Damian’s gaze shifted, caught the golden light, and seemed thoughtful.
He lowered his head, looked at the two little ones, and extended his hand, his fingertip suddenly touching Amber’s tender brows.
Golden light seeped from the fingertip.
Amber’s Divine Soul seemed to flutter.
The tiny child appeared wrapped in scattering golden light, then it rapidly expanded.
Everyone saw the golden light enveloping the hall’s golden roof, and the next second, a familiar Phoenix’s Call pierced the sky.
Shortly after, a magnificent phoenix figure emerged from the golden light.
Five colors were splendid, its tail feathers pure and bright, displaying an even more real and vivid phoenix form compared to the former Fire Phoenix’s Divine Soul.
That was the true form of Amber.
It was also the first time Amber unveiled his true form since his birth.
Scarlett and Samuel glanced past the soaring phoenix and the shadow-following Fire Phoenix, up towards Damian at the palace dome.
Damian stood with arms folded, gazing from afar at the two. After a long while, his lips moved.
Though far away, they still heard his voice,
He said,
"It has begun."
This grand wedding gift wasn’t merely to let the phoenix reappear in front of everyone.
None of them had forgotten; today’s coronation was for the disaster victims of Northland.
It’s only then that Scarlett and Samuel noticed that throughout this ceremony, they only saw Damian and not Althea.
Where had Althea gone?
...
At this moment, Althea stood upon the snowy plains of Northland.
The vast white snow almost merged her snowy hair with the earth into one color.
Though the capital city saw heavy snow, Northland’s snow disaster resembled a snowy hell.
No bodies can be seen here because bodies soon become covered by falling snowflakes.
Thick snow layers buried houses and trees, while the living clung in broken homes, desperately huddling by the fire to maintain their temperature.
But they knew, if the snow kept falling, by tomorrow, at least half of those around would silently lose their lives.
They didn’t know what they were waiting for, nor did they know if they had a future.
Althea closed her eyes, absorbing every disaster victim in Northland. After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and all ten fox tails unfurled behind her.
With the spiritual power belonging to the Ten-tailed Sky Fox radiating, Althea’s body floated upward as her fingers lightly traced the void before her.
In the next second, a gigantic space scene seemingly drawn from the firmament appeared above Northland.
