The Divine Emperor In A Merchant's Body

Far above the earth's skies, there is a galaxy of beautiful planets inhabited by a wide variety of beings with unique powers, some of which have reached the level of gods. A group of creatures that can move from one city to another over thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The planet is called Gloxinia, a planet that is very fertile, has clear flowing rivers, and there are plains floating above the white and orange clouds that stretch across the sky.

The inhabitants of Gloxinia call the inhabitants of the upper plains gods.

A term that is not just a nickname, but the level of strength possessed has reached the level of gods. Because at first they were strong creatures in gloxinia who continued to forge strength with the aim of becoming the strongest until their strength penetrated the realm of gods.

The upper plains, cannot be seen with the ordinary eye. There is a special realm portal that only gloxinia creatures who have reached the level of gods can pass through to enter there.

In other words, a gloxinia being who has reached the level of a god, then automatically the world portal to the upper plain is open to them.

It is in this floating plain that the gods have the power to organize everything under the sky of the planet gloxinia.

While the gods themselves have levels. The level of gods, god kings, and god emperors.

The level is not just a title, but from the level of power possessed by a person.

A god who has reached the level of a god king can build his own kingdom. However, building kingdom is not easy, which is why many gods who have reached the level of a god king choose to join to become the commander-in-chief of a kingdom. Be it a kingdom led by a divine king, or a divine emperor.

The god king, leads the gods under the rule of his kingdom. While the divine kings with their respective kingdoms of pride, submit and obey under the rule of the divine emperor.

There were only two names of divine emperors who ruled in the skies of Gloxinia.

Emperor Quelle, and Emperor Granel.

Two sky emperors who were extremely powerful and unrivaled.

For hundreds of thousands of years they continued to rule and fight in the sky, in order to determine who deserved to be the only sky emperor on the planet gloxinia.

Emperor Quelle had a wife named Ignia, a goddess daughter of the king of gods who was under the auspices of the Quelle Empire.

The beauty that Ignia possessed, was able to make the gods bend their knees before her.

Empress Ignia secretly had an affair with Prince Cusso, the son of Emperor Granel.

On several occasions, the two of them often met each other on the surface of the mainland planet Gloxinia. Disguised as a resident of gloxinia, hiding the power from the reach of the gods.

Emperor Quelle's Garden

On a vast expanse of clouds, Emperor Quelle and Empress Ignia sat down to relax and enjoy the various fruits growing in the sky.

"Your Majesty, I have one wish that has never been fulfilled until now." said Empress Ignia to Emperor Quelle.

"Tell me what your unfulfilled wish is. I will grant it." said Emperor Quelle to Empress Ignia.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I dare not express my wish."

"What are you afraid of? You are my wife after all, you have nothing to fear." Emperor Quelle persuaded Ignia to express her wish.

"I... I want to visit the lower plains, I want to feel the atmosphere of life in the lower plains." said Empress Ignia with a feeling of fear.

"What? What did you just say?" Emperor Quelle was surprised to hear the expression of Empress Ignia's wish.

"Forgive me Your Majesty, I feel guilty. Please punish me." Empress Ignia fell to her knees before Emperor Quelle.

"Stand up. You don't need to apologize to me. Although your wish is an absurd one. Even more so if you go to the plains of gloxinia and interfere in the affairs of the gloxinians. That would be a big mistake!"

"Forgive me Your Majesty, forgive me."

Emperor Quelle looked at Empress Ignia who was still on her knees before him with great sorrow.

He thought of a solution to erase the sadness on Empress Ignia's face.

"That's enough, that's enough! Come here, stand up." Emperor Quelle took Empress Ignia's hand, helped her up, and then sat down embracing Ignia in a hug.

Empress Ignia blushed red in falseness.

"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty still angry with me?" Empress Ignia asked Emperor Quelle, trying to read the emperor's mood.

"Of course not." Emperor Quelle replied.

"Then, why does Your Majesty's face seem to look so glum?" Empress Ignia asked curiously.

"You said earlier that visiting the gloxinia plains was your only unfulfilled wish, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. But if my wish is a great mistake that cannot be realized, I am willing to bury my wish Your Majesty."

"No! Don't do that! After all, it is your wish. Wishes are part of dreams." Emperor Quelle sighed. "Now I will think of a way to be able to grant your wish."

"Really?" Empress Ignia's mood became cheerful.

"Of course, and I think I've already found a way."

"So how is it Your Majesty, can my wish be fulfilled?"

"Yes, since I have found a way, of course I can fulfill your wish. However, as for the next decision, it depends on you. Are you willing to realize it based on this idea of mine or not?"

"Whatever Your Majesty's idea is, I am willing to do it."

"Very well, then listen carefully..."

Emperor Quelle granted Empress Ignia's wish with a few conditions that had to be met. One of them was to descend to the plains of Gloxinia in the form of a gloxinia resident, and not to interfere in their affairs.

Empress Ignia descended to the plains of Gloxinia with the escort of several troops disguised as ordinary creatures.

.....

Day after day had passed since Empress Ignia descended to the plains of Gloxinia. Emperor Quelle felt anxious because he had no news of her. Even Empress Ignia's energy radiance seemed to vanish without a trace.

Until one day, Emperor Quelle received news that the troops sent to escort Ignia died in terrible conditions. Their bodies were broken into pieces, leaving only the debris of the life energy core crystal that had dimmed.

Upon learning the news, Emperor Quelle summoned all palace officials and war commanders to the palace meeting room.

"No matter how powerful the gloxinia creatures are, they won't be able to kill one of my soldiers." Emperor Quelle said angrily. "I'm sure that old fart is the mastermind." he said.

Emperor Quelle stood up from the throne.

"Gill, Teris, Blice! You three take command of the troops on the defense line and tighten the guard at the palace!" Emperor Quelle ordered his three top commanders. "Blaire! Inform all the kings to strengthen the defense of their kingdoms!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I am ready to carry out the orders!" replied the officials and supreme commanders who received the orders.

"Scwartz, Scwertz, you two meet me in the weapons room after this meeting!" Emperor Quelle ordered the two generals.

"Yes, Your Majesty." replied the two generals with a respectful bow...
