The cost of reviving thirty-five people is as high as two billion Star Spirit Stones and two billion Star Spirit Pearls!
Lu Yu managed to secure 35 people, which even he himself couldn’t believe.
At that moment, he didn’t even know what he was doing!
Because he couldn’t remember his own movements at all, all he could recall was that his hand speed was so fast that even his own eyes couldn’t keep up!
All his thoughts and energy were focused on snatching people away!
Now, everything has come to an end.
Lu Yu’s palms were sweaty, and the sound of his heartbeat was so clear in the room that all thirty-five people could hear it distinctly!
Lu Yu never expected that he would resurrect thirty-five people—thirty-two men and three women!
Most importantly, the top fifteen people were all in his hands.
No matter who the guardian is, or who’s competing with him, they’re probably already at their wit’s end by now.
Thirty-five people felt very confused.
They noticed Lu Yu, and the first thing they noticed was the aura emanating from him!
“Your Highness!” Several people’s expressions shifted slightly, showing a bit of surprise.
Everyone appeared very calm, as if they were not surprised at all to see the Supreme Sovereign.
“I don’t know you. You suddenly appeared before me—have you come here to kill me?” One person said very calmly, showing no surprise at all, “From the moment I became aware of my talent, I already knew this day would come.”
Someone suddenly exclaimed in shock: “Huh, wait a minute! In my memory, I’m already dead!”
One person said angrily, “Didn’t I just get assassinated? Damn it, my family leaked the news right after I cultivated my Star Soul to the ninth level.”
“I should have died too. My last memory was my head flying into the sky.”
After the first person uttered the word “death,” everyone seemed to suddenly recall everything at once.
Everyone’s final memory is death!
Lu Yu took a deep breath and said, “Everyone, you don’t need to guess anymore. You are indeed dead—and you died a long time ago!”
“Then who are you?” One person coldly stared at Lu Yu and said, “Even if we die—” Suddenly, he paused, “Wait, something’s not right—”
The man suddenly turned to the person beside him and said, “You said your Star Soul cultivation has reached the ninth level—is that cultivation purely focused on the Star Soul alone?”
“That’s right.”
“How is that possible? My star soul is also purely cultivated. I don’t recall anyone else possessing the same talent as me. May I ask for your honorable name, sir?”
Fang Hua!
“Yang Lie!”
…
Several people introduced themselves by name, and then someone suddenly froze, startled. For a moment, no one could place the name in their contemporary circle!
However, within the crowd, someone suddenly exclaimed in astonishment: “Fang Hua, I’ve heard of this name before. Isn’t he supposed to have died thousands of years ago? Back then, I heard that in an attempt to assassinate you, people deployed the strength of a hundred sovereigns—thirty-seven supreme experts—just to break through your Fang family’s defenses and kill you. How can you and I stand together now? Could it be someone with the same name but different person?”
Another person stared at a small, dark, and thin man, inhaled deeply, and said, “Luo Haotian, this name matches the one I know. Are you the genius who cultivated his star soul to the ninth level in just nine days?”
“You’ve heard of me?” Luo Haotian said in astonishment. “My name shouldn’t have been spread around.”
“It’s really you!” More than fifteen people stared at Luo Haotian, their eyes wide with astonishment.
“Brother Luo, cultivating your Star Soul to the ninth level in just nine days—you’re my idol!”
“I’ve always looked up to you. It took me thirteen days, but I’m still four days behind you!”
“Brother Luo, you were born ten thousand years before me. I really wish I could have lived in the same era as you,” an excited girl said, spinning around in front of Luo Haotian. “You aren’t really tall at all—you’re almost the same height as me! I’m fourteen years old this year. How old are you, Brother Luo?”
The girl was tall and graceful, with a charm that was second to none, exuding a lively and breezy aura.
“Oh my goodness, could it be the Phoenix Dance?!” Several men slightly gasped, saying, “It’s rare for a girl to have such a talent. I heard you advanced to level nine in just eleven days—you’ve made it into history’s top three!”
“There haven’t been many people throughout history who awakened their Star Soul at the age of fourteen!”
Fenghuang raised her proud little chin and said, “You’ve heard of me? It seems I’m quite famous after all.”
A group of geniuses were gathered together, and the conversation was so intense that even Lu Yu felt a bit overwhelmed!
Cultivating the Star Soul to the ninth level within nine days, just how incredibly talented does one have to be to achieve this!
…
Everyone was in chaos.
The more they came to know each other, the more they found themselves stunned, one after another.
They completely ignored Lu Yu’s presence! It was so unusual for people from different eras to appear together with those companions around them.
Perhaps it was all because of their deaths by assassination that evoked sympathy and a sense of kinship among people.
As for Lu Yu, he stood aside at this moment, touched his nose, and did not interrupt.
As the thirty-five individuals grew to know each other better, it also brought along more questions.
The thirty-five people standing here are all true geniuses.
In cultivation, no one could surpass them.
Everyone’s thoughts were also very meticulous, and gradually they began to understand some things.
Moreover, with Lu Yu’s statement about reviving them, the group seemed to grasp something.
At this moment, Luo Haotian stepped forward and said, “Supreme Being, you resurrected us, yet we become more and more confused—exactly what is going on here?”
Luo Haotian was not tall, and could even be described as unremarkable in appearance. Standing at under 1.6 meters, his dark and thin figure really did not stand out at all.
However, when Luo Haotian spoke up to ask, not a single person objected!
Luo Haotian, the top-ranked genius among the first-tier, has cultivated his Nine Heavens Star Soul to the ninth level!
Among these people, he is the fastest in speed and the most astonishing in talent.
From the conversation among these people, Lu Yu vaguely gathered that someone like Luo Haotian, a prodigy, would need only about half a month to reach the First至尊 level if he began training seriously.
This is the fastest among all.
Therefore, after conversations and mutual understanding, the group had already set Luo Haotian as the one to surpass.
After all, those standing here are all geniuses; no one would willingly admit to being weak.
However, the group also vaguely regarded Luo Haotian as the strongest among them.
The question lingering in everyone’s mind was finally voiced by Luo Haotian.
Lu Yu said, “I think everyone here already knows that they’re dead, right?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Feng Huangwu gently pinched the hem of her dress, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, “I was poisoned by my own family.”
They came back to life, but instead of feeling joy, they felt even more confused and somewhat resentful.
Thirty-five individuals, all could be said to have died in the prime of their youth, and none were willing to accept it!
Lu Yu said solemnly, “Bringing you all back was purely for personal reasons. The world has changed, and I need my own power base—”
Lu Yu briefly explained the situation of the modern world and held nothing back when talking about the war mode.
A miraculous technological era, an unimaginable apocalypse arrives.
None of the thirty-five people spoke immediately; each was deep in thought.
Their talents lie not only in cultivation, but even more so in their intellect.
Resurrection, war mode, the Guardian—it all seemed unbelievable.
But the fact that they can come back to life is in itself miraculous!
A person said solemnly, “I believe you! But how can you just assume that, since you’ve brought us back to life, we will definitely serve you!”
“I can’t be sure,” Lu Yu said seriously. “I don’t know whether you are good or bad, nor do I know what intentions you harbor. However, I don’t necessarily require your loyalty; I only need each of you to become powerful. When I mentioned the Guardian Mode earlier, I spoke about certain limitations regarding resurrection. A Guardian possesses control over the resurrected life and can end the revived being’s life at any moment. If I ever truly lose control over any of you, I will completely erase you!”
Luo Haotian didn’t expect Lu Yu to answer so decisively. Slightly taken aback, he said, “I have nothing to say. I just want to know one thing: you brought us back to life, but do you know why we died?”
“I know a bit about these matters. Each of you possesses extraordinary talent. Although you start as ordinary Star Souls, once you grow and mature, you will be hailed as kings without crowns. In an era without a true king, each of you, upon reaching your full potential, will become a dominant force in your own right. Moreover, even in the age of kings, you would be the only ones capable of challenging a king in battle!”
Yang Lie nodded and said, “Your Highness is absolutely right. Our talents are unique, and precisely because of this, many people envy us. As you mentioned earlier, you resurrected us during a struggle, which proves that other guardians already know about our existence. I believe, no one would want to see so many uncrowned kings return to life and become stronger, right?”
One person said, “I think the assassination attempt against us will begin soon!”
Everyone nodded at Yang Lie’s words.
This is the truth.
Their deaths serve as the best proof.
In every era, it’s fortunate to have an uncrowned king. However, it’s rare for someone to still be alive and become the supreme one.
After dying once and gradually recalling that experience, they also became more profound and steady.
A pair of eyes shining with astonishing brilliance and filled with wisdom.
Fang Hua said, “Everyone present has already died once. I won’t speak for others, but I still want to ask one question. Supreme Lord, you have revived us—do you have the power to protect our lives?”
“Correct!” another person said. “Our previous cultivation has always been secretive and cautious. Once our identities are exposed, we face nothing less than a death sentence! We possess talent and cultivate at an extraordinary speed, yet even reaching the rank of Sovereign has become an unattainable dream. This was true in the past, and remains true today. I can fight for you, but can you guarantee that I will survive and grow stronger?”
The man clenched his fists, his expression and tone filled with intense frustration.
They could have become kings without a crown, yet such a title remains hollow, for no one can truly challenge the throne!
Yang Lie said earnestly, “My wish is to challenge the true King. If you can help me fulfill this wish, I may fight for you as well!”
“I just want to live,” said one person. “The Supreme Lord promised to give me time to grow and protect me through this most dangerous period. I can also fight for you in return!”
When a few people spoke, it already represented the thoughts of everyone present.
Their wish, their ultimate goal, is simply to stay alive, to survive through this most difficult period.
If they could survive, they would become the uncrowned kings who would shake the heavens and the earth!
They want to live, not to die again.
They needed a guardian.
Whoever can keep him alive and fulfill their wishes.
Then, why not fight for him!
