Chapter 1443: The Archbishop’s Ambition
"It was Ye Dage who helped us purify our Physiques and also boosted our Mental Energy…"
There was no need to hide anything now, so Helena recounted the entire incident from beginning to end.
As a woman, her actions were not without a hidden agenda; after all, she was the princess of the Divine Court and the daughter of the Divine Emperor.
Under these circumstances, only by increasing Ye Bufan's influence and ensuring the Divine Court gave him sufficient importance could they possibly be together. Otherwise, Adams would never agree to her being with a mere doctor.
After she finished speaking, everyone present was shocked. No one had ever imagined that a Cardinal could be born in such a way.
"My goodness, you mean two Medicinal Pills can conjure two Cardinals out of thin air? Is this a gift from the Lord God?"
Adams was overjoyed. As a capable ruler, he had always dreamed of completely eradicating the Western Dark World.
However, due to their strength, while the Divine Court held an advantage, they couldn't advance further.
If he could acquire such pills that could mass-produce Cardinals, then the Divine Court would not be far from unifying the world.
Thinking of this, he eagerly asked, "How many of these pills does Mr. Ye still have?"
"None," Helena said. "I asked Ye Dage at the time, and he said that the medicinal ingredients for these pills are extremely precious, and he only had that much. He gave them all to Sophie and me."
"Oh!"
Adams nodded, but as the Divine Emperor who had ruled the Divine Court for so many years, he naturally wasn't as naive as Helena, nor did he believe there were only two such Medicinal Pills.
He paused and said, "No matter what, our Divine Court must properly thank Mr. Ye!
Especially for those miraculous Medicinal Pills, no matter how precious or rare the ingredients, our Divine Court must gather them for him. This is an absolutely immense opportunity for us."
Ferguson appeared to be around fifty or sixty years old, tall with deep-set eyes. As the First Cardinal, he possessed power and status second only to the Divine Emperor.
He stepped forward and said, "Father, I also believe this is a blessing from the Lord. As long as we invite Mr. Ye to our Divine Court, we don't need too many. If we can just create 50 Cardinals, our Divine Court will sweep across the entire Earth, making everyone a child of the Lord, bathing in the Divine Power."
"You're right. In that case, I will personally go to the Federal Capital of M Country and ensure Mr. Ye is invited."
At this moment, Adams had made up his mind. No matter what, he would bring Ye Bufan to the Divine Court, even if he had to tie him up. This opportunity must not be missed.
Helena did not object; on the contrary, she secretly rejoiced in her heart. Since her beloved could command such importance from her Father, he would surely not oppose their union.
Ferguson said, "Father, the dark forces in the West are stirring. The Divine Court still needs you to hold the fort.
Moreover, Ye Bufan is just a small doctor. It would be somewhat inappropriate for you to go to such great lengths to invite him."
Adams suppressed the excitement in his heart and felt that what he said made sense. If the Western Dark World knew he had left the Divine Court for M Country, there would likely be trouble here.
He said, "Then who do you think is suitable to send? This person's status cannot be too low, otherwise, it won't show the sincerity of our Divine Court."
Ferguson said, "Since Father attaches such importance to this, I will go personally."
Adams nodded: "That's good! However, it's a bit thin for you to go alone. And once this news spreads, those Dark World forces might interfere. We should take precautions and send more people."
He turned to Casillas and Guardiola beside him: "How about this, you two accompany the Cardinal on this trip."
Casillas and Guardiola immediately bowed: "Your subordinates respectfully obey Father's divine decree."
"Father, I want to go too."
Helena immediately shouted excitedly. Since there was an opportunity to see her beloved again, she naturally wouldn't miss it.
"Alright, you all go together."
Adams waved his hand, sending Casillas and his group, who had just returned, all out again, with only the addition of the First Cardinal Ferguson.
Everyone agreed to go back and prepare for half an hour, then set off together.
As soon as Ferguson returned to his room, Douglas followed closely, closing the door behind him.
"Is something wrong?"
Ferguson immediately noticed his son's unusual behavior.
"It's like this, Father, we absolutely cannot invite that Ye fellow to the Divine Court, and even less can we let him get together with Helena…"
Douglas concisely recounted the events of their trip to the Federal Capital, then said, "Father, we must find a way, either to prevent him from coming to the Divine Court or to eliminate him. Under no circumstances can Ye Bufan be allowed to approach Helena again."
"Useless, worthless thing, you only have one woman in your eyes! Can't you see this is a heaven-sent opportunity?"
At this moment, Ferguson no longer had the benevolent and compassionate demeanor he showed in front of outsiders; instead, his expression revealed a hint of ferocity and madness.
"Father, what do you mean?"
Douglas was a bit confused, not understanding what his Father meant for a moment.
"What do I mean? Haven't you considered that if that kid's pills can turn a Cardinal into a Cardinal, they can't elevate a Cardinal to a Divine Emperor?"
"Uh…"
Douglas was stunned at first, then suddenly enlightened.
If his Father could get Ye Bufan's pills, he could immediately advance further, reaching the Emperor Realm in one fell swoop, and perhaps replace Adams as the new Divine Emperor.
"Father, do you mean…?"
"Exactly, that's what I mean. Otherwise, why do you think I'm so eager to rush to the Federal Capital?
I've been stuck in this Realm for too long, just a step away from the Emperor Realm, yet unable to Breakthrough.
If I can get that kid's pills, I will definitely be able to Breakthrough my current Bottleneck.
As long as I sit on the Divine Emperor's throne, won't all the women in the world be yours to choose from? Why fixate on just one Helena?"
As Ferguson spoke, the expression on his face grew even more frenzied. He was originally an extremely ambitious man, not content with being the First Cardinal, and had always dreamed of taking over and sitting on the Divine Emperor's throne.
However, he was a man of profound cunning and had always hidden it extremely well, without anyone noticing. Only he and his son knew this secret.
"I understand, Father."
After the clarification, Douglas also became excited. The reason he had always pursued Helena was partly for her beauty, and partly because he knew her hidden identity and wanted to become the Divine Emperor's son-in-law.
But now that his Father had the chance to become the Divine Emperor in one fell swoop, why would he care about the status of a son-in-law?
After the excitement, he said, "Father, but with Casillas and those people watching, it seems we don't have much opportunity to make a move."
"Such matters cannot be rushed. We'll take it one step at a time and act according to the situation. First, we need to see that Chinese man and confirm whether he can still produce his pills."
After Ferguson finished speaking, he quickly packed his belongings, then turned and walked out of the room, with Douglas following closely behind.
Outside, his expression once again became incredibly sacred, and he led everyone towards the Federal Capital.
