Leaving Yalidov City, entering Sky Garden Building 1001, Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he didn’t relax too much; in the end, he decisively took Dietrich out of Sky Garden Building 1001 and closed the door after entering.

Seeing a Level 20+ entity appear beside Gu Xi, the angel patrols in the sky quickly descended, aiming their weapons at Dietrich.

The leader immediately asked: "Mr. Gu, who is this person?"

"No worries, he counts as one of my subordinates. I want to find a secure place where there’s no eavesdropping. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Yes, I do." The leading angel patrol quickly responded: "Three hundred meters ahead from here, there’s a cloud clearing with no obstructions around, and the patrolling angels usually fly five hundred meters away.

It’s a good place for casual chat.

If it needs to be more confidential, you can apply for a Cloud Sea Secret Chamber, guaranteed by the Sky Garden, where no one eavesdrops."

Upon hearing the angel’s introduction, Gu Xi thought for a moment, "Let’s go to the Cloud Sea Secret Chamber, how long will it take to apply?"

"The Cloud Sea Secret Chamber is usually unused, Mr. Gu, this way please."

Led by the angel, Gu Xi and Dietrich bypassed some flowers and grass planted on the clouds and entered a space surrounded by white fog.

Upon entering this space, Dietrich carefully observed the surroundings before finally nodding to Gu Xi.

Once assured of the safety, Gu Xi asked the question that concerned him.

"Can you tell me about the situation on the side of the Great Monarch?"

"Master, this is truly inconvenient to say. Although I’ve already died once and have been transformed into a new entity, considered an independent individual, there are some circumstances regarding the Great Monarch that I still can’t disclose.

General information can be easily inquired by anyone, so saying them doesn’t hold much meaning.

Core matters, as soon as I speak, will establish a connection with the Great Monarch, and I’ll be targeted again.

Although we’ve left the Mirror Image Underground Palace now, the master’s Yalidov City remains inside it, and the master returns there at any time.

And I can’t constantly fight outside; if targeted again, we’ll face entities far more formidable than me."

With Dietrich’s explanation, Gu Xi understood the parameters of his inquiries. He could ask about matters related to the Great Monarch, but should refrain from probing core issues.

Understanding this, Gu Xi pondered and asked his first question.

"What is the deal with the Apple Tree? I know you’ve always been responsible for finding apples, but how are you able to discover them instantly, and when you joined previously, your words seemed hidden — is there something different about sprouted apples?"

This question was one Dietrich could indeed answer; he didn’t dodge or evade this time.

Instead, he earnestly began explaining the situation concerning apples to Gu Xi.

"Master, you might not know, the original reason the King of Britain lured the Great Monarch into the Mirror Image Underground Palace was indeed through apples.

Even apples becoming Britain’s National Fortune Tree is due to the Great Monarch.

At that time, when the Great Monarch was sealed in the Mirror Image Underground Palace, its level cap was Level 25, and the King of Britain enlisted several Level 20 experts to complete the seal.

If the Great Monarch had not discovered the condition of the Apple Tree, he might have remained Level 25, and we as his subordinates would have been fortunate to reach Level 10.

During that era, the Great Monarch couldn’t even perform Mirror Transmission; every entrance and exit of the Mirror Image Underground Palace was oppressed and sealed by the British.

Later, somehow an apple accidentally arrived in the Mirror Image Underground Palace.

Among roughly 10,000 apples, one accidentally sprouted, growing into a tree.

As the Apple Tree grew, the Great Monarch discovered the level cap of the Mirror Image Underground Palace had risen to Level 30, he realized then, the Apple Tree was the key to breaking through.

Thus, he spent some time elevating his level to Level 30, using this chance to launch a sneak attack on two experts suppressing the Mirror Image Underground Palace and spread the Great Monarch’s faith.

At that time, the King of Britain was unaware of the situation but could only send experts to suppress and troops to seize the followers.

Unexpectedly, the suppression led the followers to disseminate certain information.

You might have heard of the tale of suppressing the Mirror Image Underground Palace, much of it involves the Great Monarch utilizing this opportunity for propagation.

Furthermore, the Great Monarch subtly instructed believers to bring in apple seeds, among many Apple Trees, ultimately sprouting a tree elevating the Great Monarch’s cap to Level 35.

Then the British Royal Family acknowledged the significance of the Apple Tree to the Great Monarch, beginning to collect mythological apples and planting a special Apple Tree in their core building, Westminster Cathedral.

This was to absorb the Great Monarch’s Power and convert it into Britain’s National Fortune.

This method indeed elevated Britain’s strength greatly, suppressing the Great Monarch for a spell.

But no matter the suppression, the impact was limited, the Great Monarch managed to project some of his abilities into Victoria City.

This was how the Great Monarch’s followers originated.

Meanwhile, a follower exploited the opportunity to find legendary apples for the British Royal Family, sending the story’s apples into the Mirror Image Underground Palace.

The apples sprouted and rooted inside, boosting the Great Monarch’s level cap by 10, reaching a formidable Level 45.

Thus, the offense and defense within the Underground Palace reversed.

Britain could no longer suppress the effects within the Mirror Image Underground Palace, prompting rapid believer growth.

This eventually led to the Westminster Cathedral incident.

Originally, the Great Monarch’s plan aimed at fully unraveling the seals of the Mirror Image Underground Palace.

If unsuccessful, the strategy was to transplant the Apple Tree from Westminster Cathedral into the Mirror Image Underground Palace.

Unexpectedly, neither plan succeeded.

The sealing effort was blocked by the Flower of the North and others, who spared their bloodlines to prevent the opening of the Mirror Image Underground Palace.

The Apple Tree was indeed transferred inside.

But a Knight suppressing the Apple Tree also entered along.

Although the Knight’s level was only 20, he wielded different Power, more closely connected with the Apple Tree in Westminster Cathedral, obstructing the Great Monarch from leveraging the Apple Tree.

Conversely, the Master accidentally obtained an apple, fortuitously sprouting it, which naturally drew the Great Monarch’s attention..."
