Chapter 677 - Grand Welcome · Oct 14, 2026

”This small lake has been restored to its former state. As long as given time, the small lake will be once again filled with fishes.” Riya said to the villagers. For the villagers, this small lake was their main source of water. The villagers used the lakesʼs water for many purposes. The small lake was somewhere around 9 acres. It had taken almost 6 days of intense rain for this lake to be once again filled with water. Using her powers, Riya made it rain right over the lake for 6 days and nights. And now the Lake was filled with water. It wouldnʼt be long before life starts returning back to the lake just like how it used to be. ”We cannot thank you enough, Lady Riya.” All the villagers bowed their heads to Riya. The villagers have seen everything. Lady Riya has been using her powers to restore the vegetation that had been destroyed. They were immensely grateful to Lady Riya for everything that she had done. ”There is no need to thank me.” Riya quickly said. Seeing that the villagers were not raising their heads, Riya gave up. ”Alright, I accept your gratitude. Now raise your heads.” All the villagers obeyed her words. ”Even if I hadnʼt used my powers, this lake would have been filled with water once again with given time.” This was true since this part of the Dying Isle Continent received a lot of rain throughout the whole year. ”Even if I hadnʼt used my powers, this lake would have been filled with water once again with given time.” This was true since this part of the Dying Isle Continent received a lot of rain throughout the whole year. ”If you give enough time, then the fish start living in this lake or your village could just introduce fish from other sources. I suggest that you all introduce fishes from other sources as doing this would be the quickest and also the most effective way of making sure that the lake is filled with fish once again.” Otherwise, the process will be too long. The eggs of some fishes will be unknowingly carried by some bird species. But since not even 1/10th of the entire vegetation hasnʼt been restored yet, there were no birds living in this area. Some eggs also may be transported along with aquatic plants. But all water sources have been dried up. And there were no aquatic plants as there were no water sources. ”Understood.....!!” The village leader firmly nodded his head. The fishes were a very important part of their family. The entire ecosystem has been destroyed. If they do not take some matters into their own hands, then it will take a very long time for the ecosystem to restore itself naturally. 19:53

”Lady Riya, our village cannot thank you enough.” The village leader fell to his knees and lowered his head to express his gratitude on behalf of everyone. But seeing the village leader, everyone else also went to their knees and lowered their heads. ”Itʼs okay. Please stand up.....!!” Within the last week, Riya has restored a part of the forest surrounding this village. She has restored their cultivation fields. In a few more days, their crops should be ready for harvest. This way, the villagers will have a source of food or they could use the harvest to earn cash to buy other commodities. While all of this was happening, from a distance 9 carriages were approaching. The carriages were following this road which would lead them to the Azure City. Each of the carriages was very luxurious. In the middle, there was an extra large red carriage. There were four carriages in front of the red carriage and four behind it. All of these carriages around the Red carriage were filled with troops. From within the Red carriage, two figures were looking outside. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and a slight bit of disdain. ”I have heard that this whole place used to be covered in vegetation. But the Emperorʼs battle with the 9-headed Hydra had destroyed everything.” The Prime Minister, Eldric Wystan explained. ”But I can still see vegetation in the distance.” The Crown Prince, Garrick Flameheart responded. ”Oh....!! This might have been done by the Goddess of Nature. After all, she is officially engaged to the Emperor.” Eldric explained in a neutral tone. ”Are you talking about the Silver-haired woman that is standing around 500 meters away from here?” Asked Garrick while staring at Riya. Garrick could see that Riya was talking to the villagers. The Prime Minister looked in the direction that the Crown Prince was talking about and confirmed that it was indeed the Goddess of Nature. ”Yes, it seems she is here,” Eldric said in a neutral tone. ”Should we stop to greet her? After all, she is the Next Empress of the Celestial Terrain and also the Queen of the Istarin Emperor.” The Prime Minister Eldric asked the crown Prince. The Crown Prince stared at Riya for a few seconds before shaking his head. ”No need. We are not here for the Goddess. Greeting her wonʼt give us any sort of benefit as in the end she would listen to the Emperor. If she wasnʼt engaged then maybe it would have been worth it to approach her.” The Prime Minister nodded his head hearing this. Around two and half years back, The Dune Sovereignty showed interest in the Goddess of Nature. The Dune Sovereignty personally wrote a letter to the Empress of the Celestial Terrain asking for Riyaʼs hand in marriage. Having the Goddess of Nature in their Empire was going to bring a ton of benefits. But from the beginning, the Celestial Terrain wasnʼt interested. The Empress was very overprotective of her daughter. The Empress made it clear that Riya would only marry someone from her race. But two years later, Riya ended up being engaged to the Emperor of the Istarin Empire. This whole thing felt like a slap to the face of the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Because of this reason, the Emperor and the Crown Prince kind of held a grudge against the Celestial Terrain, the Empress, and the Goddess. The Dune Sovereignty would have attacked the Celestial Terrain if the Empire did not have any connections to the Main Continent. The Celestial Terrain had a lot of connections even in the Main Continent. The consequences would have been troublesome. So the Emperor decided to slowly increase their military powers before pressuring the Celestial Terrain. But unexpectedly the Goddess was engaged to the Istarin Emperor. As the 9 carriages passed by Riya and the villagers, everyone became curious about the people sitting inside the carriages. ”I wonder who are they?”
