Sword God in a World of Magic

King Sanctified Death.

Shang remembered that the God had once said that there was one Mage King that actually had a foundation that supported Godhood.

Shang was quite certain that the God had referred to King Sanctified Death.

Shang also knew what it meant when Lucin had said that the Emperors were debating about letting King Sanctified Death become an Emperor.

The number of Mage Kings already needed to be kept limited, and that was also true for Mage Emperors.

The world had ten Mage Emperors, and the world probably couldn't support an eleventh Mage Emperor.

So, when they were talking about letting King Sanctified Death become an Emperor…

They were considering killing off one of the current Emperors. After all, as far as Shang knew, Mage Emperors could live forever. They wouldn't just randomly die.

"Let's continue," Lucin said, motioning for Shang to follow him.

Lucin continued down the hallway with Shang.

They walked through a couple of different hallways, and they eventually reached a place where no one else was walking around.

The hallways didn't seem any different from all the other ones, but for some reason, Shang felt like they were different.

"This is where the Mage Kings live," Lucin explained. "There is no particular rule that forbids going to a Mage King's room and knocking on their door, but people don't need a rule for that. Common sense is already enough."

Shang knew what Lucin meant. In some huge companies with thousands of employees, there also weren't rules against knocking at the door to the CEO's office, but people still avoided doing that for obvious reasons.

The same thing was true here.

This hallway had far fewer doors than all the other ones, which meant that the rooms behind the doors were much larger than any room anywhere else.

As Shang walked through the hallway, he felt some strange feelings of grandeur.

Behind each of these doors was a Mage King, one of the 100 strongest beings in the world.

He could knock on any of the doors, and he would come face to face with one of the strongest beings in the world.

It was a surreal feeling.

After walking for a bit, the two of them stopped in front of a seemingly random door.

"This is Queen Primordium's door. Don't ever come here on your own, understood?" Lucin ordered with a serious voice.

Shang wordlessly nodded.

"Good," Lucin said.
