The sudden interruption by the young man startled both Lu Yu and Bai Yang!
Lu Yu and Bai Yang were speaking in hushed tones, and from this distance, their conversation shouldn’t have been audible at all.
But the child actually heard it, which was unexpected for both of them.
Bai Yang’s face suddenly changed expression.
Much of what the two people discussed pertained to the Liu family, so they weren’t worried about the child overhearing.
However, the last few words exchanged between the two adults were not meant for the child’s ears.
Lu Yu is about to ignite a great battle among the guardians.
This is not only big news, but it might also be top-secret information of this era.
Just imagine how much sensation this war would cause if it were to break out!
If it were to get out now, things would be different.
Think about that terrible war launched on the island of the King of Hell, a war so devastating that it could engulf an entire nation.
This is equivalent to a confrontation between two nations. If such intelligence were to be leaked, it would be absolutely unacceptable!
What startled Yang was that these were the people he had brought along.
If such intelligence were leaked because of these two people, the Celestial Organization would never be able to compensate for it.
Lu Yu thought to himself: I was too careless; I actually forgot that this world might possess various abilities.
The young man saw Lu Yu’s expression gradually turn cold, his body trembling violently as he stammered with an open mouth, “I, I just have particularly sensitive ears and can hear a little bit. If you’re willing to help me, I can have a king help you too! Mr. Lu, please rest assured, I won’t say a word—I really won’t say anything at all.”
“Does the King support you?” Lu Yu looked at the youth coldly and said, “If the King is already supporting you, why do you still need my help?”
Lu Yu greatly admired the young man’s courage. However, admiration aside, if he were to get in his way, no one would be spared.
The youth nervously nodded and said, “Yes, this is support I obtained by exchanging something. He will also assist me three times twenty days later. Besides, I’m not entirely sure who my older brother might have supporting him, so I must ensure everything is absolutely secure.”
“It’s quite a price you’ve paid to have the King take action,” Lu Yu stared at the young man and said, “Even if you give me one chance, it’s useless. You must stay in this city until I finish my business.”
The youth listened, startled, then joyfully said, “Does that mean you agree?”
“Promise?” Lu Yu sneered. “I have no intention of getting involved in your affairs. However, you’ve overheard information you shouldn’t have, so now you have no choice but to stay here!”
Bai Yang was listening from the side and hastily interrupted, saying, “Mr. Lu, if you decide to act, this time you certainly won’t suffer any loss. The South China Army has a total of 370,000 soldiers, among whom there are more than seventy-six elite warriors of the Ten-Thousand Venerable rank. Rumor has it that seventeen of them have already attained the Indurated Demon Body, and one has even begun to grasp the path toward becoming a King Venerable. These elite warriors were personally cultivated by General Liu during his lifetime and their loyalty to the Liu family is beyond doubt. More than two-thirds of the senior officers in the South China Army have maintained good relations with the Liu family. If you form an alliance with them, there’s a great chance you’ll gain a powerful ally for the future. Especially regarding those secret matters—I seem to have heard that one of them is related to the Doomsday Tide, something even those several people in the 49th City are unaware of.”
“Apocalyptic Tide!” At this moment, Lu Yu’s eyes lit up with a spark of vitality. This was exactly the information he had been seeking.
Bai Yang winked at the young man, who immediately said, “Mr. Lu, if we form an alliance, we would be willing to prioritize purchasing the Supreme Star Soldiers sold at Fangang. Moreover, we would also prioritize gathering any materials you require.”
“You taught her?” Lu Yu looked at Bai Yang.
It’s impossible for an ordinary teenager to say such things.
“Mr. Lu, you really won’t be at a disadvantage this way. Although currently the most powerful force in China is still the 49th City, the various military regions have gradually become less controlled by the 49th City. The South China Army’s strength ranks among the top in all the military forces, so gaining such an ally is indeed quite beneficial.”
Bai Yang smiled, trying hard to persuade Lu Yu.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: “Keep them here. Until my matter is resolved, these two must be watched closely. As for the alliance, I’ll have Liu Xing investigate this kid. If he doesn’t meet my requirements, there’s no need to discuss cooperation further. The goods I sell will always find buyers.”
The boy’s face lit up with a smile.
Baiyang laughed as well and said, “Alright then. The matter is settled. Liu Sheng and his uncle will temporarily stay in Fanggang, under the watch of your people. Is that acceptable? We can now confirm the scale of the teleportation array. As soon as you deliver the Supreme Star Soldier, we will begin construction immediately.”
“I will deliver the weapon to you in three days. You must guarantee that the teleportation array will be completed within half a month.”
“No problem.”
Yang laughed heartily, and his mood improved.
This trip to Fanggang has successfully accomplished two major tasks at once, which is definitely worth celebrating.
After seeing Bai Yang off, Lu Yu learned that the young man was named Liu Jin. His name was only slightly similar to Liu Quan’s. He kept Liu Jin and the middle-aged man behind, placing them under Liu Xing’s custody and forbidding anyone from approaching them.
Liu wrote only one letter and asked Lu Yu to deliver it.
Lu Yu knew that this was a letter written by Liu Jin specifically for that King, and it was part of the deal between him and Liu Jin.
Lu Yu finished arranging everything.
After resting for several days, Lu Yu adjusted his condition to the optimal state.
After two months of rest, the blood and energy, as well as the overall condition, barely reached the level required to revive life once again.
This time, Lu Yu is going to resurrect Brahma’s father, Brahmalo.
The Demon-Slaying Elder had mentioned Fan Tianluo before, so this time when Lu Yu searched, he only needed to look within the King Venerates, quickly finding the name Fan Tianluo.
Five hundred billion star spirits, along with five hundred billion star spirit pearls, were consumed, and a mass of light and shadow appeared before Lu Yu.
The faint aura of King Zun began to emerge.
The appearance of Fan Tian Luo is becoming increasingly clear.
Lu Yu stared blankly at the shadow of Fan Tianluo, thinking of Huowu and also of his own father.
“I’m already starting to forget what he looked like,” Lu Yu murmured, standing motionlessly in place. Thinking about his mother living alone all these years, he realized he had been so busy improving his abilities that he had barely spent any time with her.
“It’s a pity that even after coming back to life, I’m not the same person anymore — just someone with the original memories. I’m no longer the person I once was.” Lu Yu longed deeply to see his father again, to catch another glimpse of that figure who always smiled and played with him, yet the image was gradually fading from his mind.
“I know that you all merely possess the original thoughts but not the original bodies. You are just cloned lives, not the original beings,” Lu Yu murmured to himself.
Yuki realized who she was, and Lu Yu also knew who she was.
However, each person has their own unique goals and different reasons that support their will to live.
The Brahma Luo standing before him appeared to be in his fifties, with bronze-colored skin, upon which faint blood runes were faintly visible.
When a demon becomes the king, their distinctive dark skin will gradually fade.
As long as one is willing, the demon race bloodline can be removed at any time, allowing them to return to being human once again.
Moreover, once a demon warrior becomes a King Zun, they have already broken free from the king’s mental control!
However, Fantian Luo was not like that and still retained faint demonic characteristics. This was because the demon race’s unique physique was significantly stronger than that of humans. In battles of equal strength, demons held a considerable advantage.
Fan Tien Luo has been resurrected, still maintaining a fighting stance.
On Fan Tiano was worn a simple set of coarse cloth made from beast hide, each muscle brimming with wild, untamed power.
Between her eyebrows, Huo Wu had a faint resemblance to Fan Tianluo, perhaps one or two points of similarity.
“This is where?” Brahma Luo noticed something was off around him and turned his body to look back.
He saw the starry sky around him, as well as Lu Yu.
“Human? Also a first-class warrior?” Brahma Rao exclaimed in surprise. “I remember I should have died in battle. How is it possible that I’m here now? Is it because of the Dark Descent? So this place must be a world for the dead—it’s probably a prison.”
Fan Tianluo muttered to himself, saying that he had encountered someone, and looked around in all directions.
His voice belonged to the rough and hoarse type, yet full of powerful breath support. Even when heard alone, it exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance.
“This place isn’t in your time period; it’s another era…” Lu Yu roughly explained the differences of this era.
“How is she… is she alright?” As梵天罗heard his daughter’s name, his composed expression wavered slightly, and his eyes filled with tender concern.
At the same time, when Brahma Rao looked at Lu Yu, he also showed a surprised expression.
According to legends, the Guardian is a human capable of challenging the King. His forces might not be overwhelmingly powerful, but his strength is something even the King fears in this post-apocalyptic era marked by the Tide of Doom!
The human in front of him was only level one, which was definitely not right!
Could it be because reviving himself has left him weakened?
“Don’t worry, Huowu is doing well now. Although he was seriously injured, he is with a King and a King Ancestor, so nothing bad will happen to him.”
“Haha, that’s good, that’s good.” Fan Tianluo stepped forward without hesitation and slapped Lu Yu on the shoulder, saying, “You brought me back to life because of my daughter, right?”
Lu Yu nodded and said, “That’s because Huowu wants to see you.”
“He went to the Hellfire Lands with a king? Then there’s nothing to worry about?”
“I check every day in war mode, and her name never appears, which proves she is doing well.”
“That’s good,” Brahma Rao felt somewhat reassured and asked, “You brought me back to life; besides because of Huowu, what other reasons are there?”
Fan Tianluo was very direct, as if he could see through Lu Yu’s mind.
Lu Yu grew solemn, his expression turning serious as he said, “The person I wish to resurrect must be the strongest. Including your daughter, there are many things I must protect, so I need your power.”
“Relying on my power to defend your city, do you really think you can hold it?” Fan Tian Luo said solemnly, “You should know how terrifying the Dark Descent is. You understand what will happen once darkness falls—Even a Supreme Sovereign with the strength of ten thousand lords can survive only for a few seconds in the darkness. Even as a King Sovereign, I can merely withstand several waves of darkness. How powerful are you, truly, to believe you could survive the Dark Descent?”
“You’re mistaken. I don’t just want to survive the descent into darkness—I want to break through the apocalypse tide!” Lu Yu took a deep breath and resolutely replied to Fan Tian Luo.
“What? This era is actually the age of the Great Purification?” Fan Tianluo’s body stiffened in shock as he stared at Lu Yu, his voice trembling with disbelief: “Are you saying this era is truly the time when the End-Tide descends?”
