Eternal Thief

Within the Sun Court, the projection of the inner sun domain library ended with the crowd quickly scattering in every direction. It was more like they were running for their life. Even those Union Elders weren't any different.

"How disgraceful!" A Demoness High Union Elder wearing a blue mantilla uttered coldly. She was the 11th High Union Elder.

"Can you blame them? Who is not afraid of getting punished by the Enforcer Division?" A dainty crimson hair huntress beside her snorted, but a hint of dissatisfaction was clear in her pretty crimson eyes. She was the 18th High Union Elder.

There were ten ladies sitting together in the west of Sun Court, and all of them were High Union Elders belonged to the Moon Domain. Although four of them were married in the Sun Domain, they still considered themselves from the Moon Domain.

There were three devils, two demonesses, one huntress, one elf, and one magic beast, and then there were two unique types of existence among them.

The first one was a four-meter-tall woman who had brown tree bark-like skin; her green hair was like grassroots, while her hands looked like dry tree branches and had roots for feet.

She was from the Tree Race, consisting of only women. Currently, ranked 9th among the top ten races in the Golden Sky World and occupies the 9th continent, the Greenland Continent.

The second was actually a 2-meter golden color Bee, which seemed quite strange among sitting within the nine humanoid women!

She was the Mother Bee of the Myriad Bee Race present in the Union, and her ranked 8th race also occupied the Honey Sting Continent of the Golden Sky World.

The ladies also seemed quite harmonized with each other, unlike on the east side, where sat all the men from the Sun Domain, and they didn't seem as friendly as the other side.

The only oddity among the males was a five-meter-tall Stone Giant, and his face was like a spotless oval boulder. There weren't any orifices at all. He was from the Stone Golem Race, which considers a unisex race, but they all like to call themselves man.

They ranked 10th and are the owner of the 10th continent, the Stony Continent of the Golden Sky World.

One could say all the ruling races were present in the Union, yet they were oblivious to the fact that their races occupied their own continents in the vast world. Their world revolved around the union and also ended there, which even they weren't aware of.

However, this also wasn't true because the first ten, High Union Elders, knew about the existence of the ten continents. Although vaguely not detailed, the fact remains that they knew.

Yet they decided to bury this terrifying secret deep within their hearts for some reason.

Today, they gathered here upon the summoning of the Sun Lord, which was as rare as them all gathering together like this, and they all knew this summing had something to do with the newly anointed Junior Union Leader.

It would be a lie to say they weren't shocked when they heard the announcement.

Because everyone knew the Sun and Moon Lords were the true successors of the Union Leader position, at least, they were all told so. However, now, this didn't seem to be the case at all.

The Union Leader seemed to hold power to appoint anyone as the Junior Union Leader as long as he wished it, and if they were Sun Lord or Moon Lord, they would never want it to happen, but now it did.

Furthermore, five High Union Elders among the males knew this Junior Union Leader, and it could be said they were scared silly out of their minds when they saw White's portrait and thought they were hallucinatory, but sadly they weren't.

These five were clearly the five High Union Elders who approached White a few months ago to be their student, but he rejected them all.

They thought that they would not see him for some time, or he might even be suppressed by others once his talent bloomed or faded if he didn't have any.

However, even in their wildest dreams, they never thought that guy would become the Junior Union Leader within three months after he joined the Union.

So, they all reached almost the same conclusion, White's talent was something they couldn't imagine, which seemed to draw the attention of the Union Leader himself, which even they didn't have to meet yet.

The Union Leader even seemed a false entity to some of them because none of them had even seen him, and only the Sun and Moon Lords claimed that they existed.

Now, they fully believed that he indeed existed since those two won't shoot themselves in the foot by making a human Junior Union Leader since they both didn't belong to the human race.

Speaking of which, the Human Race still wasn't aware of the fact about White's race since the people who knew about him were either ranked too low after Joseph left, and it would take some time to them found about him.

While those who knew clearly won't tell them since once they found out, they were bound to rise if White decided to take them under their wings, the human race would definitely be sore, and then even those big three had to fear them.

Although this outcome seemed inevitable who already got wind of it still wanted to change it by delaying this news from reaching the human sector's Elders.

Anyhow, another person knew about White's race among the High Union Elder besides those five and their friends. It was an old man with average height, long snowy hair, and a long beard, and his demeanor was extremely noble.

He was the Eighth High Union Elder, also the only human High Union Elder present among the 28, and one of the oldest and wisest among them.

He also knew about White's race since Joseph decided to inform him again when he found out almost instantly.

However, he still seemed aloof, as it didn't matter to him, just like when Joseph told him about White's appearance and urged him to take him under his wing. He seemed like an emotionless statue while sitting among the High Union Elders like nothing mattered to him.

At this moment, all the High Union Elders' eyes shimmered in surprise before they looked toward the high thrones in unison.

At this moment, the masked Sun Lord appeared standing right in front of his golden throne while looking at all the High Union Elders.

All the High Union Elders rose from their seats and bowed their head slightly in greeting, and said in unison,

"We greet the Sun Lord!"

Sun Lord nodded acknowledgment before he sat down on his golden throne and said before saying huskily, "At ease, everyone."

Everyone then took their seats, but the chatter like before had completely gone, and the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone's attention was on the Sun Lord.

The Sun Lord speaks again at this moment, "Lady Moon won't be joining us as she is currently on an errand for the Union Leader.

"The reason for today's meeting is to discuss two things. The first is naturally the sudden ascension of our new Junior Union Leader, and I don't think it's a topic not worth any further discussion.

"Let me clarify all of your questions all at once so we can move to the more important topic. First, the Junior Union Leader is the most talented person ever born in our union's entire history, so he's worthy of his current position.

"Second, he is a Human, and if any of you have a problem with that, let me warn you first, the Union is not a place for racism, and it never will be, and I don't need to tell any of that.

"Third, I fully accept the new Junior Union Leader to be my future Union Leader, and as a member of the Union, the same goes for every being living in the Union, under Sun and Moon!

"Lastly, it is an order, not a request which directly came from the Union Leader, and it's quite simple.

"You guys have to order your descendants not to pester Junior Union Leader unless he looks for them himself. No one shall approach him with any kind of motives or anything that hinders his studies or progress in cultivation.

"If what happened outside the inner sun domain's library happened again, your private sectors will be detained, your descendants will be put in the penitentiary for ten years, and as their ancestor, you shall join them as well.

"Now, if there's nothing you couldn't understand, you can ask, or should I move to the main topic?" asked Sun Lord impassively.

However, they did not speak as their expression was extremely grave as they were getting a hard time processing this sudden arrangement.

They never thought the Junior Union Leader was so protected that even the Sun Lord seemed to be afraid of showing his discomfort about his position getting snatched.

Since no question was raised, the Sun Lord continued,

"Very well, the next topic is actually quite special, and most of you might not know about this, so I'll start by briefing you about Ten Continents…!"
