However, although at the time Zhou Tian indeed achieved his goal, just thinking about his purpose of sending those Fallen Elves into the Imperial Palace made him feel a bit uneasy. After all, not only because of Zhou Tian’s strength and status at the time, just the environment he had always lived in made him feel somewhat at a loss when faced with that situation.

Of course, no matter how strange those Fallen Elves’ performances might seem to Zhou Tian now, since he had already sent them to their clan’s Imperial Palace, the opportunity to meet the top members of the Fallen Elves was something Zhou Tian gladly cooperated with at the time.

It might have been because they hadn’t seen any male from outside the Human Race for a long time that soon after Zhou Tian was sent into the palace by those Fallen Elves, the Queen of the Fallen Elves couldn’t wait to summon Zhou Tian.

Faced with that situation, although everything was in his favor, Zhou Tian still felt somewhat helpless. Although the Fallen Elves truly had only the Burrow Spiders as formidable enemies, this didn’t mean that the danger they faced only came from the Burrow Spiders. As such, given the situation at that time, without having understood Zhou Tian clearly, the Fallen Elf Queen hastily wanted to meet him. Zhou Tian couldn’t tell if she was either foolishly bold, lacking any crisis awareness, or if she was just recklessly brave.

Nevertheless, the fact that the Fallen Elf Queen was eager to meet him was something advantageous for Zhou Tian as it allowed them to meet in the shortest time frame. Despite not fully understanding the fallen elf queen’s intentions, Zhou Tian had no intention of intervening in her decision.

"Do you not kneel when meeting Her Majesty the Queen!"

Although Zhou Tian was extremely curious, no amount of curiosity could affect the mindset of those Fallen Elves. So, despite their squinted, curious glances at Zhou Tian, any inappropriate behavior from him quickly led to their angered rebuke.

"It’s alright, it’s alright, ignorance is not a crime!"

Where there were Fallen Elf warriors and nobles chastising, there naturally were others playing nice. Undoubtedly, for such matters, none other than the Fallen Elf Queen could take the lead.

Given the circumstances at the time, when Zhou Tian met the Fallen Elf Queen without showing any fear, but rather a curious expression, the nearby Fallen Elves quickly rebuked him. However, just as they thought Zhou Tian would be intimidated, before he could respond, the Fallen Elf Queen had eagerly sought goodwill.

It must be said that the acting of those Fallen Elves was truly poor. Anyone with a bit of intelligence could see they were putting on a show. However, for ordinary living beings, even knowing the Fallen Elves were acting, probably 80% would still choose to pretend they didn’t know.

Firstly, positioned in the Territory of the Fallen Elves, if one did not wish to be killed by them, showing some respect was necessary. Regardless of how bad the acting was, outsiders would have to play along. Secondly, from the perspective of the Fallen Elves, capturing a male was to their advantage, whereas from the perspective of males from other races, being with the Fallen Elves was advantageous to them.

Therefore, with such considerations, it was common for males of other races to go along with their intentions even if they discerned the Fallen Elves’ plan.

However, it’s obvious that if it were another male in Zhou Tian’s position, they likely would say nothing and let the Fallen Elves act, waiting for the beauties to come to them.

The Fallen Elf Queen did not only have an extraordinary status but her appearance was seen as top-notch beauty in the eyes of the Human Race. Such a figure with status, beauty, and power willing to ’keep’ them, even sharing with others would be hard to refuse, even without the threats from other Fallen Elves.

Sadly, the Zhou Tian facing the Fallen Elf Queen was no ordinary living being. While her tactics may have been effective on common males, they were destined to have little effect on Zhou Tian.

No matter what, Zhou Tian could not accept being ’kept’ by the Fallen Elf Queen, notwithstanding her status and appearance. Not to mention, someone of Zhou Tian’s status, even to consider being ’kept’ by a woman, even if it were just an energy avatar, would be very disgraceful for him.

Moreover, Zhou Tian’s purpose in this world was not to pursue romance. So, after seeing the performance of those Fallen Elves, although not feeling against them, he still had no intention to play along with their act.

"Alright, I didn’t come here to watch tricks. If possible, would Her Majesty the Queen be willing to form an alliance with me?"

"Who are you?"

Though previously the Fallen Elf Queen’s behavior was akin to a she-wolf in heat and seemed unimpressive from any aspect, upon hearing Zhou Tian’s words, she immediately changed demeanor, emanating magic power while preparing for combat, and curiously examined Zhou Tian.

"I mean no harm, I just wish to form an alliance with your noble kind." After speaking, seemingly to display his capability, a strong energy fluctuation emanated from Zhou Tian, scaring the Fallen Elves nearly to death.

Although Zhou Tian had no intention of acting against them, and the aura he released was fleeting, those Fallen Elves could still sense Zhou Tian’s strength. After all, the Fallen Elves around Zhou Tian were not only high-level members of the Fallen Elf Clan but also top powerhouses of that world at the time. Thus, even if a top-tier powerhouse from a medium world had a gap compared to Zhou Tian, it wasn’t to the extent that they couldn’t feel his power. It was due to sensing Zhou Tian’s formidable strength that those high-level Fallen Elves reacted as they did.

Why were the Burrow Spiders the strongest in that world?

It was one thing that the Burrow Spiders were inherently stronger than the Human Race and the Fallen Elves, but to attribute their supremacy to this reason alone would be unbelievable to anyone. For even though the Burrow Spiders were a bit stronger than other races, that alone couldn’t place them at the top. What truly made them the most powerful race at that time, apart from their inherent strengths, was the extraordinary power of their gods. (To be continued.
