Chapter 435 Lu Yu: Why Resurrect Ancestors? I Hold the Primordial Sun in My Hands
at the same time,
Border Alliance Center, President's Office.
The interior space is folded and extremely spacious. The decoration style is completely opposite to the military style of the exterior. Even the furniture is made of carefully selected top-quality materials. Velvet chairs, leather sofas, and coffee tables inlaid with pure silver all exude luxury and elegance.
A three-legged gilded incense burner sits in the center, its wisps of smoke coalescing into the figures of beautiful cheongsam-clad maids, who smile as they serve tea and snacks to the two players playing chess.
Even Luo Zisong, who was standing on the side like a lackey, got a cup and was secretly shocked by what he saw.
The Auspicious Incense Burner Beast is a legendary top-tier luck-enhancing artifact-type pet that can gather auspiciousness, stabilize spirituality, and increase one's external fortune.
Its racial skill, [Auspicious Incense], reportedly requires a large amount of Luck-related materials as fuel each time it's lit. Judging from how the blanket is infused with the fragrance, it's probably lit every day—such extravagance…
It's just too...
Luo Zisong felt indignant. He took a sip of tea, and his spirituality, which had reached its limit, actually increased slightly.
How wonderful it is to live a life of extravagance and debauchery!
Although I don't know why these two big shots asked me to accompany them, this feeling of clinging to their coattails... feels so good.
I wonder when Lu Yu will reach that level, so I can benefit from his success.
"You haven't changed at all over the years, you still know how to enjoy life." Principal Shi Weijun, the "light bulb" of the school, shook his head and sighed. Guanghui rolled up the black pieces and placed them down, locking away the life of the white pieces.
After gaining the upper hand, they pressed forward relentlessly.
The rules of chess are nothing more than life and death.
A draw is merely a compromise.
"We climbed out of the mire, worked hard to cultivate and become stronger, expanded the territory for the human race, and escaped death countless times. Isn't this what we did for?"
Even kings are not without desires. Who knows if they secretly indulge in more pleasures while staying in their own kingdoms? It's said that some special mutants still retain their allure...
"Ahem, just kidding, but this feeling is just like when I was back in the village, fantasizing about the lord eating ten meat dishes in one meal, hahaha..."
The person who answered him was a handsome middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes, with a well-groomed beard and long black hair that reached his waist. He was the kind of middle-aged man that would be very attractive to young girls.
He stretched and leaned back on the chair made of the maid's lotus-like arms, enjoying being fed. He then placed a chess piece and successfully broke free from the encirclement of the black pieces.
It was none other than Wan Yinwu, the president of the alliance headquarters!
Shi Weijun remained silent, continuing to place his pieces and press the attack, because what his opponent said made a lot of sense.
Before the alliance was established, a single Shining Moon could carve out a territory, establish its own laws, and have the power of life and death over its people. It even used people as food to make its pets stronger, creating a chaotic and disorderly environment.
Shi Weijun was born into a wealthy family, considered a noble family, and his life was not too eventful. But Wan Yinwu was different. He was born in a small village in an autonomous territory, and every year he was overwhelmed by various taxes, and even having enough to eat was a luxury.
Some might say, if supernatural powers exist, why aren't they being produced?
But what does that have to do with ordinary people?
Wan Yinwu climbed out of such a quagmire, and because of his childhood experiences, after becoming a beast tamer, his obsession with a life of extravagance and debauchery intensified.
However, he was generous to his subordinates and allies, and thus had a very strong personal charisma; otherwise, he would not have become the leader of the alliance.
From another perspective, a dignified pseudo-king could be bound by material enjoyment, never going mad or acting recklessly, and wholeheartedly protecting the human race.
All they ask for is to enjoy themselves, and it's all consensual, so it's really not unreasonable!
The fact that the other party has managed the alliance so well over the years speaks volumes.
Shi Weijun was also curious that the other party had never grown tired of these material pleasures over the long years, but now preferred young beauties.
After all, the higher the rank, the more one views mortals as one would view microorganisms.
Is a man a boy until he dies?
The game was fiercely contested, and soon the white pieces were captured by the black pieces, resulting in a decisive victory.
Wan Yinwu raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "Your chess skills are getting better and better. No wonder you were able to choose such a powerful piece. Now the myriad races are in a state of utter chaos and can't eat or sleep. I haven't seen them like this in a long time."
Luo Zisong stood tall and proud, looking quite pleased with himself.
After all, he was the first principal!
"That's his ability, it has nothing to do with me," Shi Weijun replied calmly.
This is not modesty, but the truth. Lu Yu has only been enrolled for a year. Although he spends a lot of time in class, he spends most of his time causing trouble outside.
To claim that the university in Beijing has carefully nurtured them is simply shameless.
"Haha, it seems you've chosen him?" Wan Yinwu said sarcastically, eating the grapes brought by the maid.
"Is there a better candidate than him?" Shih Wei-Chun asked rhetorically.
"His talent is indeed unparalleled, but do you really think he has humanity at heart?"
"Focus on actions, not intentions."
"That's true. Being able to pretend for a lifetime is a real skill. If I'd known such a monster would appear, I wouldn't have let his parents participate in such a dangerous mission. It would have strengthened his bond with the Alliance." Wan Yinwu shook his head, not out of genuine regret, but simply out of habit to increase his stakes. He sighed, "At first, I thought it was just a simple containment mission; I never imagined it would be related to an ancient dragon!"
The highest dragon species, surpassing even legendary dragons, is born with the dual blessings of the world and the Mother River. Each one is born with a special mission.
Wherever it goes, it brings natural disasters. Even a true king would have a headache if he encountered a fully-formed ancient dragon.
Although this ancient dragon was quite special, it still caused heavy losses to the alliance. To this day, many powerful members of the Dayuan City Alliance and the Border Alliance are still tied up and unable to return.
Fortunately, disciples appeared; otherwise, if Da Yuan City had fallen, the entire border region would have descended into chaos.
Shi Weijun asked, "How is the situation now?"
"The situation is not optimistic. It's still moving, and if this continues, it will get mixed up with the remnants of the Dream Eater Cult. After all, behind that is a great being—the Lord of Eternal Dreamland. And there's something even more important..."
Wan Yinwu's expression turned solemn, and he hesitated to speak, causing the atmosphere to suddenly become tense.
Even a false king has to be this cautious...
Gudong!
Luo Zisong couldn't help but swallow hard, pricking up his ears as if he were about to hear the truth of the world. Then he heard the other person say:
"You said how much legacy the Dream Eater Cult left behind? The information I've received now... says there are hundreds of times the time of dreams, countless high-level treasure vaults and secret realms, various ancient inheritances, and even the authority of the God of Dreams hidden within them."
"This Dream Eater Cult is really patient. They didn't utter a sound even when they were surrounded and attacked, and they didn't even use their weapons. They're really tough..."
After all, Lu Yu's first pot of gold came from the ritual beast eggs, namely the little spiders, that were killed by the Dream Eater Cult.
While his increased strength is understandable, his pet's extraordinary skill proficiency has sparked much discussion.
Every so often, the amount of the Dream Eater Order's legacy increases dramatically, and now it's almost on par with the complete legacy of the True King.
"..." Luo Zisong was speechless.
Shi Weijun's head gleamed with light; after a moment of silence, he said, "Lu Yu is here!"
"Your topic transition was too abrupt, but the Radiant Vision is really useful. It covers the entire field of vision wherever there's light. It's a pity you're too serious, wasting this precious ability, cough cough..." Wan Yinwu smacked his lips, tilted his head back, looked at the void, and said in surprise, "But these guys really know how to cause trouble. However, this kid has an even bigger temper. He can't bear to suffer even the slightest grievance. I'm a little curious how he'll handle this?"
"With a weapon in one's heart, the desire to kill will naturally arise," Shi Weijun said calmly.
The spiritual path is also the path of self-verification. If one cannot even understand one's own thoughts, one will sooner or later drown in the Mother River.
Luo Zisong was anxiously scratching his head. Although he knew they were talking about Lu Yu, he didn't know what had happened and was too embarrassed to leave.
Fortunately, pure white light gathered in the void, forming a screen that reflected the scene outside...
Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the powerful figures stationed at the border alliance.
Powerful auras gathered in the void, including giants and ecosystem owners. They initially thought it was an alien race coming to cause trouble, but their eyes froze when they saw Lu Yu.
What...it's that kid again?
The crowd's thoughts raced, and they chose to remain silent and observe for the time being.
After all, whoever steps in now will be utterly humiliated by this moral standard.
It doesn't do much damage, but it's disgusting.
"You're spouting nonsense!"
Sheng Gang roared at the top of his lungs, saying that he was willing to be a pawn for personal gain, and he would rather be labeled a spy than risk being accused of it.
Even if it's a rumor, so what? It's enough for Lu Yu to have a reason to kill him.
From a deliberate attack... to excessive force by law enforcement!
Even if he really died, it might still be a miscarriage of justice!
"Lu Yu, could there be a mistake?" At this moment, the other patrol team leaders also came over, wanting to help mediate.
"How could there be a mistake? This guy tried to get close after verifying my identity, attempting to attack my superior. He was clearly acting on orders from all the races," Lu Yu said righteously.
Everyone looked completely bewildered.
When did you become a boss?
As battle group leaders, those above them are only high-ranking military commanders, generals, marshals, and the presidents and vice presidents of the alliance headquarters and various regional branches.
But Lu Yu doesn't fit any of those criteria. Even if he were the most outstanding graduate of the Imperial University, his starting position in the military would be a legion commander, which would only be the same rank as them.
Is this another case of someone using someone else's authority to intimidate others? Or is it just a word game?
Seeing the doubtful looks on everyone's faces, Lu Yu said calmly:
"Of course it's not because I'm a descendant of the royal blood of the Tianzhou Civilization, and my ancestors saved the world twice, that I'm treated differently. I hate people who always talk about the glory of their ancestors. Hey you, you from the Star Family, why are you moving back? Instead of being sarcastic, why are you running around? You don't act like a Star Family noble at all."
I will not collect taxes from the sun just because the King of Daylight saved the sun and allowed our ancestors to survive.
"And just because my ancestor defeated the Mother of Twilight again and saved the border, I won't feel that everyone should thank me, nor will I feel that everyone owes the Tianzhou civilization a life. After all, the Tianzhou clan has always taught me to shine upon all living beings like the sun."
"..."
Everyone fell silent, many silently counting how many times this guy had mentioned the Tianzhou Civilization.
Most importantly, they really had no right to refute it, since the Tianzhou Civilization was indeed the benefactor of all living beings in the main world.
If it truly becomes history, it's fine. At most, it will just add a festival for remembrance. Even if someone wants to repay a debt of gratitude, without sufficient power, no force will pay attention to them.
but……
Although the Sky Clan has entered the long river of history, they still possess True King-level combat power by relying on the Ash Sky Ark. If they successfully rescue the nine ancient beings in the Supreme Sun, then they will be ten suns in the sky.
One King of Order has already stirred up undercurrents in the main world; ten True Kings could rewrite the course of the war.
Whether it's humans or any other race, they can only reluctantly acknowledge this achievement.
Especially Lu Yu, strictly speaking, he is also a nobleman, even rarer and unique than the Star Nobles...
A descendant of the imperial family, a son of the sun king!
Everyone who meets him will inevitably be burdened with a debt of gratitude they can never repay! However, Lu Yu can only use this excuse once or twice at most; if he uses it too often, it will provoke a backlash from other forces.
Could it be that he intends to use his precious achievements to establish his authority?
If that's the case, then there's really nothing we can do.
"Madman...you madman..." Sheng Gang's eyes were filled with despair, and he felt the fear of being dominated by Lu Yu.
"You don't seem to believe me?"
Lu Yu spoke calmly, glancing at the leaders of the various battle groups, making them feel uneasy and instinctively take a step back, not daring to refute him.
No one dared to meet their gaze; their eyes were fixed on the Cloud Lion Legion, and they did not move.
"What happened?"
Cloud Lion Legion Commander Song Yun was on high alert, after all, he was only a high-level Radiant Moon, far behind Sheng Gang, and even more so compared to the Silent Sky Eagle fighter group.
Facing Lu Yu, who could instantly kill his opponent, he was no match at all. He even began to wonder if he had offended Lu Yu in the past, but then he realized that didn't make sense. He had been in Wanxing City for so many years and had only recently been transferred to the border. He had never even met Lu Yu before.
Could it be that one's own offspring has made a mistake?
Is it too late to cut ties now?
Just as he was brainstorming, Lu Yu spoke up, "Uncle Chai, would it be convenient for you to come over for a moment?"
All eyes turned to him, and they saw a middle-aged man riding on a cloud lion, looking astonished.
He's only at the peak of the Morning Star realm?
"Me?" Chai Jia, from the Cloud Lion Legion, looked somewhat bewildered. Facing the gazes of many important figures, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to approach.
After all, he had previously helped Lu Yu intercept the trouble caused by the Lin family of Xingwan in Wanxing City and even treated this kid to a meal, so he wouldn't deliberately set himself up.
Lu Yu looked at everyone and said slowly, "I know you don't believe me, but what I'm about to do involves classified information and cannot be announced for the time being, so Uncle Chai will help verify it."
After speaking, Lu Yu handed his Beastmaster Certification Card to Chai Jia, who quickly took out his device to connect to the Border Alliance's AI "Spark" and verified it using his own permissions.
The answer I got was...
You're not qualified!
The crowd was in an uproar. It should be noted that the commanders of the border alliance, especially those of the legion commanders near the border battlefield, often had wartime authority for convenience.
It is actually half a level higher than other cities of the same level in inland China.
The inability to query indicates that it is at least one level higher, or even more!
It's at least the privileges of the core circle, though not quite on par with the top few, but not far off.
This is not a position that can be obtained simply by having the ability. Even ancient giants need to be reviewed by headquarters and have made enough contributions.
What Lu Yu said was actually true; this guy really was one of theirs...
boss!
At this moment, their gazes toward Sheng Gang held a hint of suspicion.
After all, the Silent Sky Eagle, the Sea-Suppressing Whale, and several top-tier battle groups hold extraordinary positions and have access to far more information than they do, so they might actually know the news in advance.
It's really suspicious...
Even the many pilots of the Silent Skyhawk Squad looked at Morioka with shock, resentment, and disbelief.
Their own leader betrayed the human race and even betrayed them!
"I don't believe it!!"
When Morioka saw the wind change direction, his eyes widened in terror. He roared as if trying to explain himself, but before he could utter a word, the wind of indolence blew him away, and his eyelids closed rapidly as if filled with lead. He fell into a deep sleep.
This time, no one stopped them.
Lu Yu sneered inwardly; this time, he was indeed not lying.
He accepted the invitation from the Alliance headquarters, and they agreed as well. Even though he doesn't have a position yet, Lu Yu is nominally a "high-ranking member of the Alliance" awaiting appointment. He possesses legal authority and is on the same level as the Eternal Giants, which is higher than these mid-to-high-ranking Legion Commanders of Radiant Moon.
The no-fly zone access for crossing the border gate is one example of this.
Who do you think you are to be on equal footing with me?
When at work, please address people by their job title!
However, this is not enough. Simply relying on force will only alienate you from your support base and hinder subsequent work. Therefore...
"Ugh!"
Lu Yu suddenly sighed, looked at everyone, and slowly said, "I was born on the border and received the teachings of the Tianzhou civilization. Although my ancestors have passed away, there is no need to resurrect them. I, Lu Yu, can still hold up the primordial sun's radiance to illuminate the darkness on your path and do my part."
"With a great war imminent, any traitor would cause enormous losses and jeopardize the grand plan of our human race."
A beast tamer can die on the battlefield, rather than from a knife in the back.
Every traitor we uncover now saves countless lives. We must help our ancestors cross this abyss and see if the myriad races on the other side can still maintain their arrogance under our blades.
His voice echoed throughout the border alliance, resonating with many powerful figures and even stirring their blood.
Traitors are far more hateful than enemies!
The border alliance's troops, in particular, have lost family, friends, and lovers in the long years of fighting, making them irreconcilable enemies.
Although Lu Yu acts domineeringly, looking at his rise to power, he has been wholeheartedly devoted to the human race. Not to mention the Dark Star Domain and the Mechanical King Domain, even recently, he has been supporting the path with his own flesh and blood in the Sun Ruins.
In addition, his famous tactical style is known for its minimal sacrifices and abundant benefits, making him a highly desirable boss that many people dream of following.
"Lu Yu! Lu Yu! Lu Yu!"
The name Lu Yu was immediately celebrated, and the crowd was in an uproar.
Meanwhile, many suspicious eyes stared from the void, and some even knew the inside story and that this guy was just putting on a show, but they didn't step in to expose him.
after all……
This guy's momentum is unstoppable!
Even if you speak up, you'll only be counter-attacked and lose face for nothing.
"Coward!"
Lu Yu sneered. He could naturally feel the gazes of these powerful figures, but after all this time, the guy behind him still refused to show himself, so there was no need to waste any more time.
So he opened the Void Treasure Chest, took out something, and handed it to the bewildered Chai Jia.
"Uncle Chai, today we need to interrogate the traitors first and wipe out these human parasites. Please accept this little gift; I'll find time to drink with you again when I have some free time!"
As Lu Yu spoke, he reached out and lifted the rusty sphere, which was filled with the Silent Sky Eagles and was as large as a mountain. Then, in front of countless witnesses...
With its wings outstretched, Egg Dragon entered the giant city built by the Border Alliance with an absolutely domineering presence.
Like a meteorite falling to earth, it is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
After entering the city, Lu Yu did not rush to the border alliance, but first found an open space.
"Eek!"
The little spider, perched on the shoulder and wearing a blindfold, stretched out its hand and made a grasping motion in the air.
Hiss!
The Void Weaving Heavenly Law was activated, and an ancient, dark spider shadow appeared, spitting out countless spider silks that quickly wove together a huge white tower, housing the figures of itself and its master.
But in everyone's eyes, it was like a prison that confined living beings.
The gazes of many important figures dispersed, bringing this farce to a close.
"..."
Chai Jia stared blankly at the pure white tower in the distance, feeling as if he were in a dream.
It's hard to connect this domineering figure with the little guy who needed his protection to escape from the Lin family head.
At this moment, Chai Jia sighed deeply, realizing that he had truly wasted his life all these years.
Soon, this sentiment was interrupted by the continuous whimpers from his cloud lion companion beneath him, who seemed to be terrified of the object in his hands.
He subconsciously looked down and discovered that it was actually a Cloud Sea Tiger's Heart, a special monarch-type pet beast that lives in the Cloud Sea ecosystem. It is born with the ability to manipulate clouds and mist, and can release clouds and mist to hunt creatures that come near.
His favorite prey is the clouded lion!
No wonder it was so terrified!
Lu Yu actually gave me such a great gift!
Chai Jia was somewhat shocked and also somewhat apprehensive. After all, he had only helped with a small matter before, and there was no need to give such a big gift. He wanted to return it but was reluctant to do so.
Although the Cloud Lion is prey for the Cloud Sea Tiger, in return, if it can kill the opponent and swallow its heart, it can grow tiger-like characteristics and has a chance to evolve into a special [Cloud Sea Lion Tiger Beast], greatly increasing its potential.
On one hand, there's the future; on the other, there's saving face.
It's a tough decision.
"What's wrong?"
His dilemma naturally caught the attention of the other legion commanders, who, after inquiring, learned that he had helped Lu Yu in the past and had received a hundredfold reward in return.
Lu Yu instantly gained a label of being loyal and righteous.
In the past, they would have just sighed and paid no attention, but now that the other party is their boss and has demonstrated exceptional ability, it has become an undeniable highlight!
Who doesn't like their own people to protect their own?
Chen Yun, seeing Chai Jia's dilemma, offered a reminder:
"Lu Yu is different now. The materials of the Radiant Moon Rank are precious to you, but the weakest geniuses who have been buried on his Seat of Fools are all of the Radiant Moon Rank, not to mention the direct descendant of the True King."
If you truly want to repay him, you should improve your own abilities and then serve him, helping him with trivial matters.
Isn't this just another case of spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones?
"That makes sense!"
Chai Jia snapped out of his daze, nodded, and, not one to fuss over things, quickly left to buy the remaining upgrade materials for the Cloud Sea Lion-Tiger Beast.
The others were filled with envy and jealousy, thinking how lucky this guy was to have invested in a dark horse stock in advance, and then they all left one after another.
Like a group of ants that sensed the increasing humidity in the air, after all...
The situation on the border is about to change!
