The origins of the thirty-five people present were all extraordinary, and their families were not ordinary ones either.
After all, concealing information about the uncrowned king is not something an ordinary person can accomplish.
Although they failed in the end, it doesn’t mean their family’s power isn’t strong.
Among these people, some families even own dozens of Spirit Star mines, with reserves of Spirit Star stones worth over ten billion!
However, these numbers immediately seemed minuscule when faced with five million trillion Star Spirit Stones!
Five hundred billion. This number made all thirty-five people present feel as if their blood had frozen.
This is the consumption of five million trillion Star Spirit Stones, not the reserve!
This is not something that an ordinary person can afford!
You have a fortune of fifty billion, but dare you spend it all like Lu Yu did?
In any era, such financial resources could only be accumulated by owning more than a hundred mines.
Owning hundreds of mines would have been something unimaginable in their time.
“As I just told everyone, this era is different,” Lu Yu nodded. “Rest assured and stay here. As long as you don’t leave this territory, there’s absolutely no way for anyone to come in!”
One person nodded and said, “That’s right. We don’t need to inquire about your matters, sir. All we need is for you to guarantee our safety now.”
After Lu Yu left the villa with the requirements written by the thirty-five people, the military representative had already arrived.
Although Lu Yu no longer needs the Star Spirit Stone.
However, Lu Yu still completed the transaction as agreed.
Then, Lu Yu told Liu Xing to stop selling.
The twenty-four hours of frenzy left many people still unable to get their hands on the items Lu Yu was selling.
For many organizations, this time around, they made a huge profit.
Some people haven’t gone crazy enough yet, and thus appear somewhat helpless.
Such an opportunity will never arise again.
The price of the ninth-level star weapons sold by Lu Yu has dropped by more than ten percent.
This price reduction has enabled many organizations to begin expanding into certain areas of the Demon Hunter Plains.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Deity Organization and the military emerged as the biggest winners.
Spending three billion Star Spirit Stones and Star Spirit Pearls to acquire a Triple-Attribute Supreme Star Weapon was something he had never even dreamed of before.
Areas they dared not venture into before, they now dare to plan attacks on!
Lu Yu gave all the remaining Star Spirits and Star Spirit Stones in his possession to Liu Xing, and also returned a portion to allies like Chi Yan and Qian She who had supported him.
In addition, Lu Yu had Liu Xing deliver twenty billion Star Spirit Stones and Star Spirit Pearls to Huo Wu.
As for the materials required by the thirty-five individuals, they were jointly acquired by Liu Xing and the Celestial Being Organization.
Lu Yu personally approached the Celestial Deity Organization, hoping to find a modern building that could accommodate around 500 people.
This must be a fully functional system, including the plumbing, and it has to be comfortable.
He wanted to prepare the best possible things for his own people.
The efficiency of the Celestial Deities Organization was not slow either; within less than an hour, they found a luxurious hotel in Nanjing.
This hotel has remained intact even after the apocalypse, with all kinds of facilities fully equipped. From the beginning of its construction, the hotel was designed with modern concepts. Inside, there are a solar water heating circulation system, a solar power supply system, and a complete sewage system.
Even with the current manpower, if necessary, the entire hotel could be moved, and the damaged section of the sewer system could be quickly rebuilt and put back into operation.
This building has a total of nineteen floors, with twenty rooms on each floor. Surprisingly, it had been newly renovated even after the apocalypse.
Reinforce this building with various post-apocalyptic materials to make it sturdier and more luxurious.
Lu Yu immediately set his sights on this hotel and then negotiated with the owner.
The boss was also a seasoned veteran, and seeing that Lu Yu, a VIP of such high status, had taken interest, naturally demanded a steep price.
Lu Yu wasn’t foolish either. After some negotiations, the final price was set at five hundred million star spirits and a ninth-grade star weapon to complete the transaction.
The boss became a rich man, overjoyed.
Lu Yu circled the building several times, and after understanding the extent of all the building’s systems beneath the ground, he directly transformed into the Dragon King’s form.
A body stretching a million zhang in length, like a mountain range sprawling across the sky, blotted out the heavens and obscured the sun.
Even one of the Dragon King’s claws was as large as an entire city.
Lu Yu used his dragon claws to directly excavate the entire building, even uprooting the main sewage system lines underground, and then brought everything back to Fanggang.
He dug another deep pit of similar depth within the domain and placed the building into it.
All systems remained intact, and even the building structure was undamaged.
Such movement was unimaginable in past eras. Yet in this era, he accomplished it in less than an hour, without even affecting the building structure.
The remaining areas outside the designated zones were taken over by the Celestial Deities Organization, which located craftsmen to reconstruct the sewer system and connect it to the existing drainage system of Fanggang.
Within its own field, it forms a complete system that is absolutely secure.
It connects with the outside world, yet completely separates from it.
“This is the quiet world I truly desire!” Lu Yu looked at the hotel and smiled slightly, “Although there’s still a gap between this and the world I long for, this is the first step!”
Lu Yu’s mother, along with thirty-five others, entered the building. Since Liu Xing is now considered one of Lu Yu’s trusted confidants.
Therefore, Liu Xing and his parents also moved in. Even more than 360 soldiers could be accommodated, and there was still plenty of space.
Faced with such luxurious modern technology, all thirty-five of them inevitably turned into curious babies.
Even with all their growth in maturity, they are still young people in their late teens, possessing all the traits that come with youth.
The settlement of the thirty-five people also put Lu Yu’s another concern to rest.
Finally, Lu Yu gathered the group of thirty-five people along with Liu Xing and introduced Liu Xing to everyone.
The thirty-five people then realized that Lu Yu had already established his own power base.
Lu Yu smiled and said, “The rest is up to all of you. If you need anything, please see Liu Xing. As long as you don’t leave the domain, you’ll be absolutely safe.”
Luo Haotian nodded and said, “Rest assured, Mr. Lu. We understand our situation and definitely won’t go out for the time being.”
Fenghuang Wu said excitedly, “I’d be happy to live in a place like this for my entire life. I don’t even want to leave anymore.”
“Then, everyone can stay here with peace of mind,” Lu Yu said, leaving a step ahead.
He still has a lot to do.
Owing two Supreme Star Weapons, and the transaction due in twenty-eight days.
Liu Xing helped Lu Yu collect a total of ten materials for the Supreme Star Weapons.
Lu Yu entered the treasure area twice and spent six days to complete these ten Supreme Star Weapons.
Two were given to the Celestial Deity Organization and the military, while the remaining eight were placed in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. Those in need could temporarily take them.
Due to insufficient quantity, it is temporarily not possible for each person to have one.
In just six days, all thirty-five of them achieved breakthroughs, with several already becoming Half Sovereigns.
Such a rapid rate of improvement made Lu Yu’s scalp tingle.
“You should be grateful that after becoming Emperors, your cultivation speed will drop to that of ordinary people. Otherwise, if things continue like this, even I might not dare to employ you,” Lu Yu said with a bitter smile. “It’s just too terrifying.”
One person said proudly, “The title of ‘uncrowned king’ isn’t something just anyone can claim.”
As he spoke, the man’s expression darkened, and he sighed, saying, “Perhaps heaven is fair after all. People like us overdraw the ability to become a ‘King,’ obtaining the strongest talent in the world. Yet, for us to become a ‘King,’ there isn’t even a one in ten thousand chance.”
When the crowd faced the eight Supreme Star Weapons displayed in the grand hall, all thirty-five of them couldn’t help but glance sideways.
Compared to the two weapons Lu Yu provided to the Celestial Deity Organization and the military, the five weapons in question have already seen their Life and Attack attributes approach 40 trillion, a level that even some Sovereigns would find impressive.
Even such a weapon was beyond the reach of ordinary Sovereigns in their era.
Generally, a Sovereign who can wield such a Supreme Star Artifact would need to have the strength of at least twenty Heavens and possess the corresponding qualifications.
Zi Yu picked up a star soldier and examined it carefully, saying, “This is newly made; this—”
Zi Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle’s eye as he scrutinized the star soldier carefully, then turned to Lu Yu and said, “My lord, this star soldier is newly forged!”
“What?”
“Oh my God, no way! Someone actually understands the art of forging weapons in this era!”
“Is this era going to drive one insane? First the Poisonous Dragon appears, then the Hundred Refinements Devilish Body, and now even the Art of Weapon Forging has emerged.”
Thirty-five people gasped in unison, their eyes all turning toward Lu Yu.
In their time, it was already very rare to see the art of forging soldiers.
There are many star weapons passed down through generations, but very few new star weapons are forged in each era.
The Star Soldiers are rarely found in the world, primarily because in almost every era, there has been only one person capable of forging them.
Moreover, the mighty Star Soldiers are stronger than the至尊.
With the sword in hand once more, one can sweep across a region.
The sword that Zi Yu is now holding in his hand is exactly like that.
Purple Feather continued, “I have met a weapon forger before.”
His expression was filled with memories, and he spoke with equal parts shock: “Back then, my family sought out a master weaponsmith, the only one in our era. My family hoped that this master could forge a stellar weapon worthy of me. There, I saw the newly crafted stellar weapon, which was very similar to this one. I also saw a Sovereign with a hundredfold power who dared not put on airs in front of that weaponsmith.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Just use it. Why dwell on its origins?”
Many people were slightly taken aback, as in this sentence, Lu Yu acknowledged the origin of the Star Soldiers.
In this era, is the only armsmith also working for this lord?
If that were truly the case, then this person in front of us would be justified in accumulating even more wealth!
Zi Yu put down the star soldier and smiled.
Lu Yu’s meaning was already very clear.
Some things are better left unknown to fewer people.
Lu Yu has now resurrected the Thirty-Five Uncrowned Kings.
If the alchemists are involved, some people might not just stand by and watch anymore.
Lu Yu finished handling the trivial matters in his hand, leaving twenty-one days until the message transaction in the royal city.
Moreover, once the transaction of information is completed, various organizations might immediately set out and head straight to the Demon Hunting Plains.
Therefore, Lu Yu needs to prepare for these twenty-one days!
While Lu Yu was making preparations, numerous organizations from various countries, including the Celestial Deity Organization and the military, were also getting ready.
Even the war between South Korea and Japan came to a halt, as both countries began to accumulate and prepare personnel to join this competition.
Lu Yu also remained within the domain and never left.
He cultivates during the day and absorbs the essence of the stars at night.
Now that I have more Supreme Treasures under my command, the consumption of Starlight Essence has also begun to increase.
During the process of absorbing the essence of the stars, Lu Yu was also using the transformative power of the stars to refine the weapon of slaughter within his body.
Three level-nine rated killing intents had once again accumulated within his body.
Lu Yu毫不客气地将这些杀戮之意震碎，融炼在新生的杀戮之兵之中，使杀戮之兵的数量提升至两千五百万柄！
Lu Yu unhesitatingly shattered these murderous intents, refining and merging them into newly forged weapons of slaughter, increasing the total number of these deadly weapons to twenty-five million!
Fifteen million are level-four Lethal Star Weapons, and the remaining one million are level-one.
Lu Yu locked himself into the Supreme Zone without using the Phantom Spirit.
That was also a group of a hundred clones with strength comparable to his.
A battle where he fights against a hundred clones by himself is extremely difficult for Lu Yu.
Because Lu Yu knew himself all too well.
Even without further enhancement, its inherent attacking power is already terrifying.
…
Day 21—
Lu Yu left Fanggang before the information trading time arrived.
He possesses twenty-five million level-five killing star weapons within his body.
If one were to say that he is the sword tomb itself, it would not be an exaggeration at all.
Every star weapon within his body was exceptionally sharp, capable of easily slicing through the defenses of even a Sovereign.
Lu Yu followed the landmarks given by Liu Xing and took a step into the void.
He had never been further than Japan, and knew nothing about where America was.
Lu Yu chose multiple transmissions with precise positioning!
At the fifth transmission, Lu Yu arrived on a small island.
The island isn’t large, yet it stands tall with a Xingling Mine reaching nearly three hundred meters in height.
The island is surrounded by mountains, with the mine located right in the center of the mountains.
“Roar!”
As soon as Lu Yu landed, he heard fierce roars coming from the island.
Dozens of level-nine monsters surged out from the woods surrounding the Xingling Mine.
“Is that all you’ve got?” Lu Yu merely glanced at the monster before him.
Dozens of monsters immediately sensed a terrifying aura emanating from Lu Yu. The monsters trembled violently and prostrated themselves on the ground, shaking uncontrollably.
From the shadow of a mountain, more than a dozen soldiers suddenly charged out.
Although these warriors were holding star weapons, their legs had already gone weak as they stood before Lu Yu.
Lu Yu noticed that most of these people were white, and there were also several black individuals among them.
The strongest one is a Half-Zhizun.
When more than ten people saw Lu Yu, they immediately felt as if they were facing a sea of swords, with every inch of their skin on the verge of being sliced apart.
“Is there someone here?” Lu Yu felt a bit disappointed when he saw these people.
Although Lu Yu does not oppose taking by force, he only targets enemies and never harms ordinary people.
These people did not openly display any hostility, so he really felt reluctant to take action against them.
“Does anyone here understand Chinese?” Lu Yu asked.
A dozen or so people were slightly taken aback, when a black man in his early twenties hesitantly stepped forward, trembling, and said, “Your Majesty, what, what do you need?”
Lu Yu stood there motionless, yet his aura grew increasingly intense. It was as if the sea of swords had transformed into a roaring tsunami, crashing against their souls.
It takes a tremendous amount of courage for a black person to speak up.
Lu Yu nodded and said, “Since you understand Chinese, take me to Washington, D.C. I won’t let you down.”
The black man was shocked and said, “Sir, was it for news of the royal city that you went there?”
At this moment, the black man’s expression became more serious and particularly respectful.
