Isekai Life as Ōtsutsuki

Qianye Ying'er immobilized everyone with a simple release of her aura, which was so overwhelming and powerful that everyone was frozen in one place faster than they could blink.

"So, as you may have noticed, you have been immobilized by my pressure alone, which means that I can kill you all with a wave of my hand. I will give you one second to process it all..."

Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded through the room, as all of them saw a golden-haired, golden-eyed woman appearing in the room; she had some sort of ethereal beauty around her, which made all men look at her with gaping mouths.

Qianye Ying'er ignored all of their stares as she was used to it for the entirety of her life. It wasn't anything new for her, even though she was admittedly disgusted by it, but there she rather looked at the two people sitting on the thrones.

Especially the woman who was sitting on the most decorated throne.

Her figure was exquisitely slender, and she wore a long palace robe that was sparkling with a blue glow. The highest collar of her robe directly reached her hair, which was in the shape of a top knot.

Her voice was like that of a middle-aged woman's, very gentle, but each word was like a heaven-shaking bell, majestic and full of power.

She had the appearance of a middle-aged woman but without the slightest trace of femininity. Instead, each contour contained an extremely solemn dignity and sharpness.

Her eyes were extremely clear, and her pupils were as profound as the ocean. Within her eyes, there was a trace of emotion trickling around. Even right now, she was calmly observing Qiany Ying'er without saying a word.

"So now that everyone has processed how things would be, I have a simple thing to say... from today, the Supreme Ocean Palace will be under me; if you have any problems with that, you can say that or be silent; I will be taking silence as your acceptance."

The Brahma War Goddess stated and seeing that everyone was silent, not like they had any choice in that aspect, she took that for granted, their silence being acceptance of their words.

"But to not say that I am not generous enough, I will give you something for your services; for each mission you complete that I will assign, you will get rewarded. And for each failure, you would get punished."

She said with a somber tone, looking at everyone around them, as every single person in the Supreme Ocean Palace shuddered when they heard that, but at the same time, they were also greatly tempted by greed.

Greed for better cultivation resources and greed for the possibility of reaching greater heights that were something beyond the measly Nine Mortal Realms. They, too, wanted to reach the fabled Divine Realms of the Profound Way.

"We are honored to be naturally honored to serve your magnificent self."

The head of the Supreme Ocean Palace, Qu Fengyi, said very carefully as she looked at the Brahma Goddess. The Sovereign of the Seas, for the first time in her life, feared for her life because she knew that the woman who immobilized them all could kill them as fast as lightning strikes.

Not to mention, Qu Fengyi had a hunch that the woman was someone from the fabled Realm of Gods and was undoubtedly at the Divine Realm, a very powerful person in the Divine Realm; that was what her instincts were telling her.

"Splendid... now, tell me everything that you know about the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign and Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign Nest you know."

Qianye Ying'er clapped her hands happily as she sat down on one of the random chairs that were in the meeting room, as everyone looked very nervous, but soon enough, Qu Fengyi started telling her what she wanted to hear.

"In fact, we don't know much, Your Excellency... the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign Nest has been one of the forbidden grounds of the Supreme Ocean Palace for countless generations, and aside from the creature inhabiting it, we don't know much about it, aside about the terrifying Yin Energies that are in the cave."

And as Qianye Ying'er expected, nobody from the Supreme Ocean Palace knew anything significant about the presence of the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, how it appeared on the Blue Pole Star, or anything just at all...

They just knew that it was forbidden ground on the Blue Pole Star and that it was dangerous... which was pretty pitiful, but she didn't expect much in the first place from the mortal faction with little to no foundation in her eyes.

Even though they titled themselves Sacred Grounds, in the end, they were just mortal factions and nothing important in the great scheme of all things.

"Disappointing... but I didn't expect anything else, though good for you that you didn't lie."

As Qianye Ying'er said, everyone's hearts tightened because her disappointment was clearly visible in her voice, and they knew that if she was angry with them, then their lives would be forfeit.

"Bring me to the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign Nest right now."

Seeing that there was no worth bantering with the mortals, Qianye Ying'er decided to take a look at the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign Nest personally and take whatever was inside.

Knowing that the Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign was weakened to the Nine Mortal Realms of Profound Strength directly dropped him from his originally Tier 4 power to Tier 1, which was indeed beyond pitiful.

"Of course, of course, Your Excellency."

The Sovereign of Seas Qu Fengyi said hurriedly as she led Qianye Ying'er out of the meeting of the Supreme Ocean Palace. The pressure on the room dispersed almost instantaneously the moment Qianye Ying'er left the room.

Leaving there the Seven Venerables of the Supreme Ocean Palace alone with Zi Ji, who was the husband of Qu Fengyi.

Though he was only on the 8th Level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, he had a rather special position within the Supreme Ocean Palace not only due to his status as the husband of the Sovereign of Seas but also because he was the sole owner of the Black Moon Merchant Guild.

"So... what now?"

Asked one of the Venerables of the Supreme Ocean Palace with a nervous voice because this could be either their moonshot or doom.

"Nothing... we can do nothing against absolute power, so the sole thing we can do is to adjust to the situation and profit from it in whatever way we can."

Zi Ji said with the calmness and demeanor of a true businessman and merchant.
