Chapter 895: Conflict

The commotion is absolutely a major event that stirs up all parties involved.

For a long time, many people have been eagerly anticipating the day when Lu Yu would become king.

However, there was a rumor that the King Without a Crown would never become a king. Now Lu Yu has broken this rule and actually become a king.

Many people know that this city is connected to Lu Yu. If Lu Yu becomes king, it would mean that the defense of Fanggang would be enhanced to a truly formidable level.

Many young people, including boys and girls, were about to burst into cheers.

They blinked their eyes, looking at Lu Yu with admiration and reverence.

He has become the king!

It came completely out of the blue, leaving everyone in utter shock.

Among these, there were also several who were on the verge of becoming kings.

Actually, this is already close to the level of King’s ability, not much different.

However, when they felt the regal aura emanating from Lu Yu, they were greatly astonished.

They could feel it.

If they were to fight against Lu Yu, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

Before Lu Yu became a king, he was already capable of defeating kings. Now that Lu Yu has ascended to kingship, with his king-making skills and powerful starseed artifacts, the situation for the divine servant is truly perilous.

However, Da Han did not take Lu Yu seriously.

But a name he heard startled him a bit!

“Your name is Lu Yu?”

The big man suddenly spoke, his voice cold and somewhat surprised.

“That’s right, I am Lu Yu. If you want to know who killed you before you die, then I’ll be happy to oblige.” Lu Yu wasted no time, his fighting spirit surging to its peak.

Now, as soon as the Han dynasty dares to make a move, he will dare to mobilize the entire city’s forces to kill this Han emperor!

One may be weak, but one must never show weakness!

Once showing weakness.

If there is a first time, there will be a second time.

Lu Yu was not at all polite.

The Great Han was enraged, his body radiating intense golden light as his fury soared into the heavens.

“Very well, very well. As the deity said, you indeed have a bold heart.” The big man didn’t make a move; instead, he gritted his teeth and retracted the golden light radiating from his body. Coldly, he said, “Remember this: your life is claimed by the deity, so I won’t kill you. In three months, someone will come to claim your life.”

All the soldiers around had their ears perked up listening.

Could their ears have heard correctly?

The name Lu Yu is so destined that even the gods have claimed it.

How could a powerful person possibly tolerate being talked back to by Lu Yu like that just now?

But now the divine servant has held back, and even declared that he would take Lu Yu’s life in three months.

What does this mean?

“In three months?” Lu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. “I think you must have made a mistake. I’ve heard that even an expert close to becoming a king exploded just from approaching this testing stone. Based on my abilities, there’s absolutely no way I could pass. Even if you gave me three months, I still wouldn’t be able to pass. If you want my life, just send someone to Fanggang. But by then—”

Lu Yu’s smile faded, his eyes fixed on the giant man. “I don’t care who the gods send,” he said coldly. “If anyone dares approach this city, unless they’re truly immortal, I will kill them without hesitation!”

The big man was furious, clenching his fists with both hands, and eager to kill Lu Yu with a single punch.

But he still held himself back and coldly said, “Lu Yu, since you’re here, I’ll tell you directly. Fang Gang City must provide ten experts. According to the rules, if even one person is missing, this city must be destroyed. However, by the will of the gods, you are exempt from the test and must go directly. Therefore, aside from you, Fang Gang needs to provide nine more people. In other words, in three months, you won’t need to take the test—you will be transported directly. So, there’s no way for you to escape.”

“What, what?” Countless people around thought they had misheard.

Many people put their fingers in their ears, desperately trying to calm themselves down.

A teenager exclaimed in surprise, “Huh? Did I hear that right? Really, is it true? Lu Yu can pass without even taking the test?”

Is this considered a privilege?

The divine servant had already descended to the earth’s surface two days ago, and had never offered such favorable terms to anyone before.

They walked upon the earth, and even when facing the lord of a city, they remained superior. No one had ever dared to defy a single word of theirs.

Now Lu Yu can get away with talking back like this, and even pass without taking the test!

One person felt dizzy and murmured, “How exactly did Lu Yu offend the gods? They’ve specifically demanded his delivery without even a test.”

Another person whispered, “I once heard that originally, the deity found Lu Yu and specifically wanted Lu Yu to be the spokesperson. However, since Lu Yu declined the offer, the current spokesperson was chosen instead.”

“Just think about it, they’re talking about gods. If you dare to refuse a god’s words, wouldn’t you incur their hatred? My guess is that because of this, Lu Yu was marked by the deities to be sent away and prepared to be killed on that star.”

“Is this real?” Many people were astonished, a group of teenage boys and girls stared with sparkling eyes, looking at Lu Yu in admiration.

After all, that’s a god.

Daring to refuse even the demands of a deity, he is indeed no ordinary person.

Although people were filled with fear of the gods.

Whether being remembered with resentment or becoming a divine servant, both are matters worthy of being remembered by people.

Especially someone like Lu Yu, a person capable of provoking the resentment of deities, surely deserves a place in the annals of history.

The giant Han didn’t want to stay here even for a second. Before stepping inside with a slash of his hand through the void, he coldly sneered, “Lu Yu, you have only three months left to live. Cherish your remaining time. Ha! Three months from now will be the day you die.”

The sound of the Han people’s laughter still echoed between heaven and earth, and the pressure that everyone felt had vanished.

Liu Xing, his eyes wide open, stood up from the ground and stared in astonishment at Lu Yu. He swallowed hard and asked, “Mr. Lu, is this considered special treatment?”

Lu Yu looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, “Haha. I feel quite honored. Just rejected him once, and he’s held such a grudge ever since.”

Lu Yu didn’t really feel anything.

Since the gods have already been offended, there’s truly nothing left to fear.

Liu Xing was stunned. He didn’t expect Lu Yu to still be able to laugh at a time like this. With difficulty, he managed a faint smile and said, “Mr. Lu, you can still laugh? These people are divine servants. You’ve offended a god, and you’re probably already on their blacklist.”

“Why can’t I laugh?” Lu Yu asked with a smile, “Don’t forget, just a moment ago none of the ten spots had been secured. Now that I’ve made it, isn’t this a good thing? Besides—haha…”

Lu Yu laughed even more heartily.

If we were to assess his abilities alone, he definitely wouldn’t be up to the task.

However, considering combat strength, he was absolutely capable of defeating lives like Luo Chen who were close to the peak of the King class!

But it seems that even the divine servants are not clear about these matters.

Therefore, if a real fight were to break out, he should be able to silently take down one opponent by surprise.

“Uh!”

Liu Xing watched Lu Yu smiling as he returned to Fanggang, and he was really a bit confused.

Some young people admire Lu Yu even more now.

They were already in their rebellious phase, idolizing every rebellious figure.

Lu Yu fears not even the gods—that’s the true idol they admire.

“Lu Yu has become a king,” someone whispered. “If this news spreads, it might be enough to shake all the major powers.”

…

The departure of the divine servant, Lu Yu’s ascension to kingship, and the god’s designation of Lu Yu as the one who passed the test!

All the news spread rapidly, like a hurricane sweeping across the land.

“He has become a king, he has actually become a king!”

“He actually broke the rule that an uncrowned king cannot become a king.”

“Lu Yu could have killed the king before. Now that he has become the king again, how far will he go?”

There was a sensation among all parties; some sent gifts, while others lurked around the port, watching closely.

There was jealousy, there was admiration.

The defense of Fanggang City is linked to Lu Yu’s strength.

Now that Lu Yu’s strength has increased, it means that the defensive capabilities of Fanggang have been enhanced once again.

The news from Fanggang is still spreading.

On the other side, a blond man stepped forward.

He claimed to be the spokesperson of the gods and now stepped forward, declaring that anyone willing to accept divine power could become a servant of the gods.

Three months later, once the passage is opened, all divine servants will be able to travel to the God Star.

People can rest assured without worrying about the apocalypse tide.

The apocalypse tide is directed only at humanity, not at the servants of the gods.

At this moment, the blonde man stepped forward, along with two other mysterious figures who had never appeared before.

Three divine envoys, each commanding over a million celestial servants.

Moreover, many divine servants who descended upon this planet also sided with the three divine representatives.

When the golden-haired man and ten divine servants appeared in a city of Huaxia, people were already certain that there must be a connection between the divine messenger and the divine servants.

It was like a silent affirmation, validating the words spoken by the divine servant and the voice of the deity.

As long as one becomes a divine servant, they no longer need to fear the damage caused by the End Times Tide.

Three divine attendants, serving as the heralds of the gods, carried countless golden potions to various regions in search of those willing to accept divine power.

Some people even witnessed conflicts among the three factions in certain cities as they vied for control of the divine servants.

The defensive shield in the second sector of Fanggang has been temporarily deactivated, allowing outsiders to enter.

But Lu Yu made it clear: if any divine servant dared to enter, he would kill them without mercy!

Some divine servants still ignored the warnings and secretly infiltrated the harbor, searching for those willing to become divine servants.

Lu Yu showed no mercy at all, directly ordering these divine servants to be executed.

A divine messenger rushed into the harbor, demanding that Lu Yu must hand over the murderer.

On that day, the harbor was sealed off as the Deathless Sky Canopy, defense towers, flame giants, and domain guardians were all activated.

More than a hundred king-level puppets were also fully mobilized.

Everyone knows Lu Yu’s temper. The arrival of the divine messenger at Fanggang will only ignite a major conflict.

Many experts from various factions appeared in Fanggang.

That night, Fanggang became an ocean of surging power.

The divine spokesperson is trapped within Fanggang City, while a million divine servants desperately attack the Fanggang domain.

People were astonished, for among these divine servants, there were thousands of kings. Moreover, at least ten of them had already approached the state of complete fusion between their star souls and spirits.

Such a force has left all parties alarmed.

This was truly a battle comparable to the arrival of darkness itself.

More terrifying was the fact that no one could have imagined the divine messenger had been concealing such a massive force without ever revealing it.

Now, with just a slight movement, it surges like a flood.

Lu Yu unleashed the fury of the Demon King, together with several Star Artifacts, and launched an attack in conjunction with the Dragon of Death and the Blade of Slaughter. Even the Voice of God was unable to breach Lu Yu’s defenses.

This battle sent shockwaves in all directions.

This was the first time they witnessed Lu Yu’s combat prowess after he unleashed the power of the Star Artifact in the King’s posture.

This can be described as terrifying.

Millions of divine servants could not breach the protective barrier; the defensive domain was too terrifying.

Liu Xing presided over the core domain; as long as the domain remained unbroken, no one could enter.

This battle lasted for a whole day and night. In the end, the Avatar of the Gods withdrew from the harbor, his face pale and astonished.

Some descended divine servants had been watching the battle from the periphery without joining the fight.

Some divine servants exclaimed in astonishment: “Fang Gang, such terrifying defensive power. Lu Yu, such horrifying combat strength. No wonder the god once specifically mentioned wanting him to become the god’s spokesperson.”
