Afterward,
Jano asked the group of Winged kingdom officials some more questions about the Winged race.
Including diplomatic relations, food crops, extraordinary professionals, alchemical technology, enchantment techniques, magical beast breeding, and so on.
The officials answered them one by one.
After waiting for everything to be discussed, it was already evening.
Jano dismissed the officials of The White Bastion, allowing them to return to their homes.
However, as they were leaving, he called out to the two sisters.
“By the way, Sophia, Eryta, wait a moment, accompany me to the Platinum Moon!”
The two Winged female Legends exchanged a glance, showing doubt in their eyes, but they did not ask the reason and nodded in agreement.
The two sisters were both the type of person who were calm but capable, naturally good subordinates. In addition, they were also extremely curious about the Platinum Moon, but unfortunately, they were only Legends and found it difficult to ascend.
After a while, Jano came to their side.
“Have you brought the Lava Sword and the Blue Jade Sword?”
The two sisters patted the scabbards at their waists.
“Your Majesty, they are here!”
“Then, follow me.”
Jano nodded and then reached out, taking one hand each, leading them to fly towards the high heavens.
They passed through the terrain impassable to even Legends and arrived at the land where the Platinum Throne was located in the high heavens!
Upon arriving here,
The two sisters curiously looked at the majestic Platinum Throne and then looked not far away at the silver moon that seemed to shine eternally.
“Do not look at that silver moon. There is a powerful being sleeping inside, one whom even I am no match for in my current state.”
Jano reminded them.
“Understood!”
The two sisters obediently nodded.
After they composed themselves, Jano then spoke.
“Sophia, Eryta, you are not young anymore.”
Sophia was already over a thousand years old, and Eryta was about the same.
The lifespan of a Legendary was one thousand years. According to the original timeline, the Sophia sisters should have reached the end of their lifespans several hundred years ago.
But several hundred years ago, after Jano integrated the Authority of Growth into the Winged bloodline, although he did not evolve the entire Winged race’s bloodline into that of an Immortal Race, he did extend the length of their original lifespans.
However, even so, the two were indeed nearing their limits.
The Sophia sisters had dedicated their lives to the Winged, remaining unmarried and childless, serving the Platinum Throne without daring to slack off in the slightest.
As descendants of his companions from fifteen hundred years ago, if it were not for the fact that his eldest sister Lymir's bloodline still continued, Jano would feel even more guilt.
Facing Jano’s inquiry, Sophia heard this and smiled calmly.
“Not hiding it from Your Majesty, in recent years, I have been searching for a successor. My age is already very advanced, but the Winged race still needs to develop.”

Eryta also gently chuckled beside her.
They did not care about life and death; they cared about the King and their people.
“Sophia, Eryta, the Winged race is at a critical period of rapid development. I have a way to allow you to live for a long time!”
Sophia and Eryta looked at each other and asked in surprise.
“Your Majesty, what is the method?”
“I will bind an Authority to you. But from then on, you will need to be completely bound to the Platinum Throne. The throne exists, so you exist; if the throne is shattered, you will die together with it.”
“We are willing!”
The two sisters said in unison.
Being able to witness the rise of the Winged race and being able to continue serving Jano, how could they be unwilling?
Jano saw the two women agree and said with relief.
“Good, take the Lava Sword and the Blue Jade Sword forward.”
Then, he walked to the Platinum Throne and sat down, facing the two Winged Legends who had walked forward and knelt on one knee, he solemnly declared.
“Today, in the name of the Platinum Throne, I bestow upon Sophia and Eryta the Authority of Lava Fire! The Authority of Heavy Water!”
“From now on, you shall be my Authority Messengers of the Throne, wielding the great power of the Authorities on my behalf!”
As soon as his voice fell,
The longswords in Sophia and Eryta's hands suddenly burst forth with brilliant light of law, and then the two swords, within the light, gradually transformed into nothingness, entering the two Legendary Winged’s bodies.
Laws merged, Authorities assimilated!
It was like a demigod breakthrough!
At the same time,
The Platinum Throne, along with the entire throne’s main body, vibrated and then shone with great brilliance!
Outside, at this moment, the Platinum Moon shone brightly in the sky, surpassing the light of both the silver moon and the sun!
After the light subsided,
Sophia and Eryta's faces became even younger but even more majestic!
Their silver hair became smooth and supple, flowing like gods.
And more importantly, in their eyes, Sophia's eyes became the red-yellow color of lava, while Eryta's eyes turned deep blue.
From now on, they were the Messengers of the Throne, comparable to demigods.
Afterward,
The three descended from the high heavens.
This time, Sophia and Eryta could descend on their own.
In the future, if Jano needed to sit on the high throne, the two could also ascend on their own.
Three days later,
Jano retrieved Asuna, the corpse of the Light Titan, which was buried by Mount Celestia, and brought it back to the high heavens.
Although more than a thousand years had passed, the demigod’s body did not decay and remained lifelike!
He took out the thigh bone of the Light Titan and refined it into a light longsword. Then, with his understanding of the Law of Light, he triggered the power of the Authority to descend, and then decisively suppressed it.
The world’s malice arrived as expected, but Jano did not care!
He inserted the light longsword, which suppressed the Authority of Light, into the Light Titan's head.
Some of the power of the Authority of Light was replenished and became even stronger.
And with this sword, the Light Titan’s flesh and blood melted, and the corpse was absorbed by the suspended land where the Platinum Throne was located, increasing its area a little more.
1468 of the Goblin Empire's calendar.
The sea race invaded the east coast again.
It seemed that the sea race’s Great Princess had quelled the rebellion and finally continued to lead her troops to attack.
Having fought for several hundred years without capturing the territory, anyone else would have given up or attacked a different place.
But Themis, whether due to stubbornness or some other reason, was determined to fight the Winged to the death.
Of course, Sophia did not humor her and once again led her troops to resist.
This time, Sophia and Eryta’s strength greatly increased, initially overwhelming Themis and Melor.
This forced Themis to retreat back to the sea ahead of schedule, seeking help from the sea race’s strongmen.
Unfortunately, apart from the Third Princess Melor, Themis was generally unpopular and did not have any close allies among her sisters.
This time, the war ended anticlimactically.
In this battle, Jano watched the entire battle from The White Bastion.
He finally understood why Themis, who was still a sea race princess at this time and could command a large army, would become a lonely sea witch in the future. Her brain was indeed not well-developed.
So, he put down his worries, said a word to Sophia and others, and then left Losendas to travel the continent.
He would first fulfill an ancient agreement and then travel to the Finordon continent to explore the mystery of the Elves' origins.
1469 of the Goblin Empire’s calendar.
Jano left the Nine Passes, followed the Morga River, and traveled west through the cities and villages built by the Winged over thousands of years.
For this trip, he brought Little Tortoise with him.
Since the Winged were not lacking in Legends at this time, he brought him along.
After passing through the Morga River region, he crossed the Whispering Forest and arrived at the former location of Eagle's Nest Peak.
This place had long been developed and occupied by the goblins. At the foot of their original Eagle’s Nest Peak, they built a small goblin town.
The wooden houses and villages that he had built with his people on Eagle’s Nest Peak had fallen into the earth and disappeared without a trace.
Jano walked around the old village site a few times and then stood on the cliff.
More than a thousand years ago,
He stood here facing the Hawkmen envoy. Time had passed, and he had fulfilled his promise, destroying the Hawkmen court.
But there were also things that affected his mood. The caves on Eagle's Nest Peak, where the Winged ancestors had once lived, were actually occupied by a group of Fallen Goblins!
“My place of rising, a place those little green dwarfs dare to inhabit?”
Jano, with a dark face, drew his sword and slew all the Fallen Goblins, having Little Tortoise dispose of the corpses in the Whispering Forest.
After staying at Eagle’s Nest Peak for a few days, he continued northwards, towards the Great Desert Steppe.
