Sword God in a World of Magic

Queen Primordium looked with surprise at the Custodian.

Then, she focused on Shang.

Right now, Shang felt nervous.

After all, this wasn't just anybody he was going to be talking with.

This was the Lightning Emperor, one of the ten strongest beings in the entire world, someone that had lived for an incomprehensibly long time.

"Don't worry," Queen Primordium told Shang. "The Ancestor is very friendly and wise."

Naturally, Queen Primordium had seen the Lightning Emperor a couple of times.

While the Custodian was essentially the Lightning Emperor's mouth and hand, the Lightning Emperor also left his study from time to time.

Sometimes, he just walked around his castle, and he also appeared when he had to make a public appearance because of something important that happened.

For example, every millennium, the Lightning Emperor came out to congratulate the winner of the grand tournament.

But these were basically the only times anyone could get a hold of the Lightning Emperor in any way since the Custodian dealt with everything else.

However, this still meant that the Lightning Emperor only exited his study every 500 years or so, which was an insanely long time for everyone below the Mage Lord Realm, and if one missed it, they would need to wait another 500 years.

And it was even rarer that someone was allowed to enter the Lightning Emperor's study since this was his private space.

Only the Custodian was allowed to enter the Lightning Emperor's study.

And now, Shang would also enter the Lightning Emperor's study.

Shang took a step forward and walked through the door.

Even though he was a bit nervous, it still wasn't nearly enough to shake his resolve in any way.

The Custodian smiled politely towards Queen Primordium and closed the door.

Then, the Custodian traveled down the hallway, followed by Shang.

After a couple of seconds, they stopped in front of an ordinary wooden door.

The Custodian politely knocked on the door and opened it just a second later without waiting for the Lightning Emperor's command to enter.

With the door now open, Shang's Spirit Sense entered the Lightning Emperor's study, and he could finally sense it.

It was simple but also earth-shattering in a sense.
