Chapter 43 Chaos Arises, the Year Approaches
"Number 1, how long has it been since I fell into a deep sleep?"
After confirming his evolution status, Perseus looked down at the smart bracelet on his wrist.
"Total duration of dormancy: 5 years and 7 months."
He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the number.
Ok!
Fortunately, he did not miss the subsequent succession ceremony. However, several years have passed. Is the Canggu Empire still as peaceful as before?
"Number 1, Tuo'er should be reporting intelligence to the Canggu Empire in real time. Organize the emails he sent and show them to me."
Soon the smart bracelet projected a phantom light screen.
The light screen listed all the events of recent years, including the specific schedules of several targets and the changes they encountered.
Perseus skimmed the information, reading ten lines at a glance.
"Bodo Canggu was accidentally poisoned? Princess Tianyu was assassinated by a domain lord-level expert on a planet under her own jurisdiction... Hmm, Xueying, that cunning guy who's as clever as a monkey, was also assassinated???"
"Master, the most Tuor can find out is what they deliberately revealed to us."
Number 1 materialized to the left of Perseus.
"Humans become more monstrous with age."
"A group of old things who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Even the youngest one, Bodo Canggu, has been a domain lord for more than 10,000 years. He was the only one who fell for their schemes three times. It seems that this guy is at a disadvantage, but who can guarantee that this is not something he orchestrated himself?"
"It doesn't matter if it's self-directed and self-acted," Perseus sneered.
"Their strength is evenly matched and it's impossible to determine a winner. If they want to gain the upper hand, they can only resort to some underhanded tricks. We have absolute strength and can just crush them all the way through."
"Number 1, contact our Crown Prince and tell him I'll be arriving soon!"
"I don't care whether he's currently preoccupied with trivial matters or panicked. If he wants me to put in the effort for the rest of the show, it's time for the biological materials I need to produce some results..."
……
The newly replaced black spaceship quickly took off.
Meanwhile, on the imperial star of the Canggu Empire, the planet Gilar.
Inside a magnificent, golden palace in the central imperial city.
"Your Highness, the president of the Starfire Association has sent a message."
A woman in a business suit bowed and greeted Xue Ying Cang Gu, who was browsing the Empire's official website on a sofa to the side. Beside him were two female slaves giving him massages.
"You two should leave here for now."
Waving away the female slave, Xue Ying Cang Gu looked at his steward.
A large portion of his estate as a prince was personally managed by this Mayan steward, and Perseus was clearly aware of the collaboration between them.
"How's it going? Has Perseus broken through yet?"
"He announced his seclusion five years ago. He's already comprehended the fundamental laws, so why hasn't he broken through yet...?"
"I heard it's for cultivating a special secret technique!"
Maya tried to explain why Perseus hadn't made a breakthrough in a more tactful way.
Then, before Xue Ying Cang Gu could get angry, he did so.
"According to that person, his strength has increased greatly. Now, unless you are a realm lord who has been recognized by the fundamental laws, it is impossible for anyone to defeat him."
"Um?!"
Xue Ying Cang Gu turned his head sharply, "Really?"
"Whether it's true or false, Your Highness can verify it for yourself."
"However, judging from what he said, he doesn't actually value star systems and commercial convenience that much; what he values is high-quality biological materials..."
Upon hearing this, Xueying Canggu probably understood what was going on.
"This secret technique is related to the methods of the apothecary!"
"Hahaha, very good. Since Lord Perseus has shown sufficient sincerity, our Ancient Empire, as an ally, will naturally provide our full support. Maya asked you to prepare these things before, so you can take them out now."
"Also, please send me another message—"
The palace was still brightly lit, but Xue Ying Cang Gu couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile on his face.
"To welcome my best friend, President Xinghuo, I will be holding a cooperation banquet in one year. At that time, I will represent the Canggu Royal Family, the Kunwu Clan, and the Xinghuo Group to forge a friendship. I will be paying for this banquet, and I sincerely invite the major realm lord forces within the Mingguang Empire to participate."
……
"banquet?"
On the other side of the planet Giral, a young man saw an email inviting him to a banquet on the light screen in front of him. He suddenly crushed the wine glass in his hand, his pale face filled with murderous intent.
"And Perseus!"
"It seems that this President Xinghuo is convinced that he is qualified to participate in the competition for the Realm Lord level. He has broken through? Even if he has broken through, what qualifications does a newly promoted Realm Lord have to participate in the internal affairs of our clan—"
After speaking, he turned to look at the male attendants on the side. From the perspective of the Kunwu people, these attendants were quite good-looking.
"You, you, and all of you, come here!!!"
The servants were trembling with fear.
Then, as the lights in the room dimmed, suppressed sounds mixed with pain continued to emanate, causing the guards outside the door to exchange bewildered glances.
Their prince is indeed talented, but he's also genuinely insane.
However, this has little to do with them.
As subordinates, no matter what secret hobbies your superiors may have, the only thing you have to do is keep quiet.
……
Of course, it wasn't just Hakata Soko who was alarmed.
On another inhabited planet, a woman of the same Kunwu tribe turned to look at the handsome man on the other side, a seductive smile on her face.
"My dear brother seems to have found a World Lord-level ally and plans to use this against me at the banquet, so... Lord Patience, you'll help me, won't you?"
"As you wish, my princess!"
The young man had long, blue hair like silk, and the scattered fish scales at the corners of his eyes made him look somewhat eerie. He looked at Princess Tianyu's face, which was unlike the unusual and strange face of the Kunwu people, with great affection, and a fleeting, unreadable emotion flashed in his eyes.
like?
Cheap emotions are meaningless in the starry sky. As a realm lord who has broken through less than ten thousand years, what he wants is more benefits.
It now seems that the president of the Spark Association is also having the same idea—
Using the royal family as a springboard to preemptively divide the spoils, even the Ancient Realm Lord refused to show himself in this situation, which can only mean that the other party is truly on his deathbed.
He doesn't show himself, so others naturally don't know his true nature.
But old age is old age. How long can the remaining power of this aging lion protect the Canggu Empire?
……
Regardless, the pebble thrown by Xueying Canggu still managed to create ripples on the water's surface.
Within the Mingguang Empire, the realm lords either watched coldly from the sidelines or actively entered the fray... In just one year, the once relatively peaceful planet Giral became turbulent.
Until the day before the banquet begins.
A spaceship bearing the "Spark Group" logo landed, instantly drawing countless gazes at an unimaginable speed. Especially as Perseus stepped out of the hatch, his entire being exuded a powerful aura, like a towering mountain or layered clouds.
Only then did everyone realize that the battle that would determine the fate of the empire had already begun!
