Chapter 45 No Feast is Good
The two continued to play coy, one trying to use the situation to intimidate the other, while the other wanted to buy at the bottom.
Of course, at this stage, they will not completely break off relations.
On the other hand, Princess Tianyu's manor was different.
Having initially thought she had the upper hand, the princess of the empire was now outmaneuvered by her previously perceived weak older brother, and her expression was understandably displeased.
However, she can no longer do without the help of the merman world lord in front of her.
"Lord Patience, is it really impossible... to kill that Chairman Xinghuo?"
"World Lords rarely fight to the death!"
Patience reached for his glass, took a small sip, and looked at him as if he were a naive child.
"Nobody knows what gives that guy his confidence. Even if we succeed now, let alone win, can Her Highness protect me?"
"you!"
Princess Tianyu's chest heaved with anger. She was about to speak when she was interrupted by the former.
Even now, deep within those eyes that should have been tender and gentle, there were emotions she couldn't understand.
The feeling was like being stared at by a venomous snake, like a thorn in your back or a fishbone stuck in your throat.
"Your Highness should be more sensible—admiration is the most useless and insignificant thing in the world. The only thing that can bind the strong is self-interest."
"Your Highness should be grateful that you still have the skin of royalty!"
"Otherwise, setting aside the Ancient Realm Lord and the dozens of star systems that could tempt a Realm Lord, what are you, a princess, even if you are a Domain Lord?"
Countless water vapors quickly gathered in the room with a constant temperature.
A terrifying chill condensed in the air, eventually transforming between slender fingers into a 'rose' made of ice crystals—brilliant, dazzling, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Patience approached Princess Tianyu like an elegant gentleman, tucked a flower into her hair, and gently kissed her.
Even from a distance, you can feel the tenderness in it.
But these intimate gestures, once used for flirting, no longer evoked shyness of being moved, but rather a deep chill from the bottom of my heart.
This madman who habitually wears a mask!
I curse you to lose your battle against President Xinghuo and die a gruesome death...
Unfortunately, no matter what Princess Tianyu does, she has already been placed on a high platform and is in a difficult position.
Therefore, all of this stemmed from an inner struggle of resentment, which ultimately turned into a helpless sigh, carrying a deep hatred that has lasted for millennia, and quickly drifted away into the wind.
……
Meanwhile, on another desolate planet in the same star system as Giral.
The richly dressed young man hurriedly piloted the small spaceship inside. He couldn't wait to land and quickly left the hatch, landing in front of a mountain range formed of diamonds. His expression was urgent, and his face showed a hint of tension.
"Ancestor, those two madmen have each attracted a foreign realm lord. I'm worried..."
"You're too impatient, Hakata!"
"I'm not dead yet, and those truly powerful figures haven't met their end either. They're just two young upstarts who haven't been through the trials for long. They probably have no idea what those old fogies are fighting over..."
The hoarse voice carried a lingering air of age, yet remained arrogant, looking down on the buoys stirred by the wind.
Of course, in his view, Patience and Perseus were equally shallow.
Could dozens or even hundreds of star systems really excite a world lord?
A Domain Lord can establish a Primary Universe Kingdom, and a Primary Universe Kingdom can rule eight or nine star systems. The remaining Domain Lords of the Canggu Empire are far more than a handful!
This includes the accumulation of the Canggu Empire over many years.
A realm lord's true wealth will inevitably be hidden within his own inner world.
Only ordinary items can remain in the Imperial Treasury; these treasures, which can be accumulated over time, are not something that veteran Realm Lords would even look at.
Therefore, what Patience and Perseus were fighting over was at best some trivial matters that others didn't care about.
As for how muddy the waters can get, that depends on the two of them's skills.
"In short, the real battle has not even begun until I step onto the field—"
……
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
Soon, it was time for Xue Ying Canggu to host a banquet for his guests and sign a cooperation agreement with the "Spark Group".
To give face to the Realm Lord, one after another, high-ranking officials of the Empire arrived. Conservatively estimated, the number of Domain Lords exceeded twenty. Seeing these powerful Kunwu Clan members with impressive auras, even though he didn't know much about the situation in the universe, Perseus realized that something was wrong.
Too much!
There are way too many domain lord-level powerhouses!!!
According to Babata, one galaxy can give birth to a universe-level being, and 1000 galaxies can give birth to a world lord.
Even though he didn't specify how many star systems could produce a Domain Lord, taking the average of 50 star systems to produce one Domain Lord, the number of Domain Lords in the Canggu Empire was still abnormal.
It's 10 out of 10, but 12 out of 10 is abnormal.
With so many domain lords of different attributes, the possibility of a realm lord guiding them can be basically ruled out. After all, when a realm lord guides a domain lord, the domain lords are usually of the same attribute.
"Looks like I've been set up."
The seemingly random sentence caused Xue Ying Cang Gu's pupils to shrink involuntarily.
"What?"
"I'm referring to that ancestor of your Canggu Empire. He seems to be hiding many secrets from you, the first in line to the throne!"
As he spoke, Perseus gestured with his eyes, glancing at the figures in the distance that exuded a powerful aura.
"Don't you think something's wrong?"
"It's the number of domain lords!!!"
If no one had reminded him before, it would have been fine, but now that Perseus had pointed it out, Xueying Canggu immediately realized that something was wrong.
No wonder, no wonder so many powerful figures have their eyes on the Canggu Empire!
It turns out that my great-grandfather had been keeping this secret all along.
The ability to mass-produce domain lords is definitely not a secret.
He thought he had a good reputation with his ancestors, but who would have thought that his ancestors would treat him like a foreigner?
"That old bastard..."
"I was wondering why he didn't show up when I went to see Hakata yesterday. Now it seems he's probably already gone to his elders to cry and seek comfort."
"What are you planning to do?"
Immediately, Xue Ying Cang Gu turned to look at Perseus, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Hakata will definitely be present at this banquet."
"Instead of waiting idly for this kid to break through to the Realm Lord level, it's better to strike first..."
He had barely uttered his first words when a curtain of fire rose around him.
Perseus then turned his head with a helpless expression and complained irritably.
"You bastard, you're plotting this in public—"
"We are indeed standing upstairs looking down at the guests, but don't forget, at this distance, what's the difference between this and being face-to-face with someone right next to you???"
Xue Ying Cang Gu remained unmoved, his killing intent surging uncontrollably.
"So, are you confident you can kill him?"
"have!"
Perseus rolled his eyes. "A domain lord, doesn't seem like a top genius. I can use him to do my dirty work with a little guidance. But that would offend your great-grandfather. Let me tell you, if the treatment isn't good enough..."
"I'll pay more!!!!"
