The first night she arrived at this world line, Empress Thea had a dream.
She dreamed that she had returned to the despairing and tragic apocalyptic battlefield.
However, this time round, she did not have the Haines Empire behind her. She was going to face the strongest enemy she had ever faced alone.
This enemy was her old enemy who had already fought her for a thousand reincarnation cycles.
Its understanding of Thea was ten thousand times deeper than her own. It spent 10,000 years fighting her in different timelines and saw through all her tricks. It knew all her weaknesses like the back of its hand and had an extreme grasp of her psychology.

It possessed god-like martial arts that was enough to crush all strong enemies. As its designated punching bag for 10,000 years, Thea had to endure an additional ten or even a hundred times of special attacks.
Against Thea...
This longevity monster was an all-rounded god.
Killing Thea had already become its instinct for 10,000 years. It enjoyed it even more and was fanatically obsessed.
The faith of the Empire, the tyrant of the mortal world and the Empress of Haines who ruled over the world. In the face of this mortal being that should have been extremely weak, the Empress's wails were as tragic as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
She was just... its prey.
The Empress could not understand. She clearly possessed the strongest corporeal body in the mortal world. Even though her strength had decreased drastically after the jump through the world line, she should be strong enough. However, how did it do it? Was it power or magic? Why was it that every single casual attack of that monster could crush her into pieces, causing her to have a mental breakdown and let out heart-wrenching screams continuously?
Yesterday was her most embarrassing, humiliating and crazy day.
Against this powerful enemy who crushed her with ease with its skills, she was helpless and even had no self-esteem.
Death, awakening, death, awakening…
Be it launching a counterattack with the dignity of the Empress of Haines or abandoning her dignity and crying for mercy in a cowardly manner… All of them were useless and merely served to liven things up.
When Empress Thea opened her eyes again…
The sky was already bright outside the window.
Lying alone on the messy bed, the Empress felt the emptiness and disappointment after waking up from her dream.
Somehow, she wanted more...
…
It was a new day and Rayne began to get busy.
After the God King abdicated, Rayne became the actual ruler of Dawn.
Rayne was no stranger to leading a country… but he was a little tired.
There were endless multiple-choice questions and overtime. Not only did he have to fight with his enemies, he also had to fight internally with his own people. At the same time, he had to maintain an elegant smile the entire time…
Perhaps it was because Rayne had done this too many times that he was starting to get lazy, he still felt that it was the most satisfying to control demigods and use their cheat-like mobility and combat strength to destroy everything in a simple and crude manner.
Rayne's office was still at his residence. Early this morning, the various documents that the Moonlight Queen moved out of the palace had already been transported to his residence.
Rayne's smile was filled with despair as he looked at the various documents in the study.
He heard that...
These were all unprocessed work that the God King had been hoarding.
Now, all the work was transferred to Rayne.
What else could he do?
Time to get to work.
However, before dealing with these paper documents, he had to deal with the living beings first.
Today, the chancellor and a group of officials came to look for Rayne again.
After a night of spread, the entire officialdom of Dawn knew about the God King's decision.
Most of the officials had no objections to this decision.
However, there was also a small group of opposers who had exceptionally strong opinions.
They insisted that this was a scheme of the Haines people to invade the Heavenly Kingdoms. In fact, they had even reached the point of sending letters to the other Heavenly Kingdoms for help, hoping that the kings would come to Dawn to deal with the traitors and protect the God Consort.
Their attitudes were firm and their actions were fast. It was useless even if the God Consort endorsed Rayne.
It was hard to say if this was caused by their excessive loyalty to the God King or… their loyalty to the other kings of the Heavenly Kingdoms.
Furthermore, as the invasion of Far Silence had already begun, the war between the Evil Star and the Heavenly Kingdoms had officially begun. In order for the Heavenly Kingdoms to enter a state of war, there was also a series of complicated processes.
In any case, Rayne and the officials had many problems ahead.
It seemed like he was going to have a busy day...
Right then, footsteps sounded on the stairs and a tall and beautiful figure walked down from the bedroom on the second floor of the residence and appeared before everyone.
Empress Thea had woken up.
Today, Empress Thea was still dressed in the official attire of the Empress in her military uniform and crystal crown. However… the collar of her military uniform was clearly much lower today. Thea had also used magic to change the pants beneath her military uniform into a short skirt. Under the short skirt was a pair of flesh-reaching black silk pantyhose and high heels made of silver-white crystals.
From her gaze to her attire, the Empress today was clearly much more coquettish and charming.
Of course…
Although Her Majesty Thea seemed to have activated some special switch today, the majesty and dominance that belonged to the iron-blooded Empress was still shocking and did not change at all.
The officials sat upright immediately, not daring to meet the unfathomable gaze of this Haines demigod...
Yesterday, this mysterious demigod left an unforgettable impression on the officials who visited Rayne.
Apart from her overly powerful aura, this demigod's beauty was also peerlessly stunning. She was almost like a living goddess as she sat here, waiting for mortals to kowtow and pay their respects.
In terms of the shock factor when they first met this white-haired Empress, even the God Consort and Moonlight Queen were inferior to her.
However…
Was that… the crystal crown of Haines on her head?
She was the Empress of Haines, Cassius?!
Ignoring the ants of the Heavenly Kingdoms completely, Empress Thea walked straight to Rayne's side and bent down. She pressed her hand on Rayne's shoulder and whispered into his ear with a smile.
"Good morning, darling… it's been hard on you yesterday."
"Thank you for letting me understand that even though Thea Haines ruled the Empire, defeated the original gods and became the Empress admired and revered by all living beings in the mortal world, she's only a woman after all."
"I love you, darling."
With that said, Empress Thea kissed Rayne on the cheek gently.
Yesterday, Empress Thea was sincere when she said that she had no secular desires.
As a god and an original goddess, Thea was fundamentally incomparable to mortals.
Original gods did not have the ability to reproduce, let alone desire love like mortals.
Her feelings towards Rayne came in an even purer form... they were similar to love but were unlike the deep emotions between men and women.
That was how Empress Thea had always dissected herself.
But now…
She realized that she was wrong.
She loved Rayne, his past and his soul.
… And his body as well.
The cold and arrogant Empress had never been so docile before. She used her hoarse and deep voice to wheedle softly. "Darling, forgive my greed. Can you accompany me more today?"
Rayne smiled and consoled, "Thea, you're my wife. We'll be together every day in the future. Can you wait for me to finish my work first?"
When Empress Thea heard that, she seemed a little reluctant. "How long do you need then?"
Rayne estimated. "I'll probably be available tonight..."
"Do I have to wait until night?!"
"Do you have to look so pitiful, Your Majesty Thea?"
"But…"
Empress Thea looked aggrieved. However, thereafter, she smiled. "Darling, shall I settle your work for you?"
With that said, time stopped instantly.
Thereafter, everything returned to normal.
A shocking scene happened. Rayne and the officials were already filled with processed documents that were sorted and arranged neatly.
Not only that, at that moment, every official had a detailed work list beside them. This was their work schedule for the coming week. With this itinerary, they had no reason to disturb Rayne for the whole week.
Apart from that, in the middle of the table was a name list with multiple lines crossed with a red pen.
An official picked up the name list that was filled with red lines and realized that it was none other than the opposers who had ulterior motives.
Empress Thea said indifferently, "I've already written down all your missions and handed them to you guys. You can just go and do your work now."
An official's voice trembled. He could not imagine what had happened in that split instant. "Madam, you…"
Empress Thea's voice gradually turned cold. "I don't have time to listen to your questions. Now, it's time for you guys to leave."
The officials were silent like cicadas in winter and nodded fervently.
"Understood! Completely understood!"
It was intimidating and terrifying.
Before they could even ask Rayne for instructions, the group of officials stood up almost instinctively and retreated rapidly according to the Empress's instructions.
And now, the room finally fell silent again.
Edaline was the only one left sitting at the side, eating her snacks in a daze.
"Darling…"
The expression on Empress Thea's face turned gentle once more.
"I've already done your work for you. Do you have anything else?"
Rayne thought for a moment. "For the time being… that should be all."
"That's great. Does my husband finally have time to accompany his beloved wife? Since we have nothing to do now, so...
Empress Thea smiled.
"Shall we go inside?"
Rayne smiled. "Darling… don't be like that. We have to work and rest reasonably. No one should require any rest during the day, right?"
"Shall we go inside?"
"Let's go in!"
"Hey, wait a minute, you…"
Just like that.
Edaline watched helplessly as her brother was dragged into the bedroom.
She watched everything in silence.
Thereafter, she shut down her video recording spell.
What happened in the past two days was way too ridiculous.
To be honest, she could not hold it in any longer! She truly could not hold it in any longer!
She opened the communication channel between the sisters of the Imperial Guards and uploaded the spell recording.
[Edaline: Video document]
[Edaline: Sisters, big news, watch it quickly before I'm beaten to death! ]
Therefore…
All the Imperial Guards saw how Rayne was forced upstairs by a domineering demigod Empress with a dignified aura like a weak girl under duress.
This shocking scene immediately caused a huge commotion in the channel.
[Hela: ??? ]
[Beth: ??? ]
[Lilia: Extortion? That's not right. Count me in if we're going to colonize Starfall Land! ]
At that moment, some people were jealous, some were shocked, some were focused on their careers, and some were scheming. Only Miss Histia asked a very frank question.
[Histia: Thea, is that your mother? ]
[Thea: No. ]
