Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 46 Provocateur, So What if He's a Realm Lord!

Whether it was provoked or not, Xueying Canggu began a series of somewhat incomprehensible actions of "selling off one's father's land".

"I'll give you 30 star systems, and half of the royal treasury's collection... I just want him dead!"

The terms promised by the lay Buddhist who offered extra money were clearly very attractive.

Killing one person, although it might cause some trouble for the Ancient Realm Lord, is not something that cannot be resolved.

Therefore, he hesitated only slightly.

"make a deal."

After finalizing the deal, Perseus immediately removed the fire curtain. The two then went downstairs together and engaged in friendly exchanges with many high-ranking officials of the Canggu Empire.

"Lord Perseus, may I ask in which areas our cooperation will take place this time?"

The finance minister, with his squinty eyes and protruding belly, looked at Perseus with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Your group's business is quite complex!"

"My grandson, who is less than ten thousand years old, used the Life Crystal Core produced by 'Life Enlightener' and has become a loyal user of 'Spark Group'."

That's what I really meant.

At the same time, Perseus could also sense a hint of solemnity and respect from the other party's emotional feedback.

Clearly, they're here to discuss business.

Although the Canggu Empire has faded into history, these domain lords who occupy high positions in the empire are still quite wealthy, and even if the Canggu Realm Lord were to perish, they would have enough options to escape to.

So, the business that needs to be done still needs to be done...

"Our group may lack some things, but it will never lack treasures."

Perseus smiled when he heard this—since the other party had taken the initiative to flatter him, he was happy to chime in.

"For example, the life crystal core you mentioned, the Force weapons, the telekinetic weapons, the Force armor, the spaceships, or the high-tech equipment."

"We have everything Xinghuo has to offer, and we're quite interested in this piece of the Canggu pie."

Several domain lords who were interested immediately gathered around.

Xue Ying Cang Gu, who was standing to the side, turned his head and glanced at these old guys who usually kept to themselves, including a few domain lords who had joined Princess Tianyu's side. He was well aware of their thoughts.

Seeing the potential for profit and believing they had a powerful lord on their side, they decided to take the opportunity to place a bet.

However, political deals are tacitly understood by both sides, and in the early stages of establishing a new regime, he, as the next monarch, still needs to be somewhat tolerant.

"Hahaha, everyone, don't worry, the deal with 'Spark Group' is easy to discuss!"

With that, Xueying Canggu began to introduce their identities.

This is the Minister of Finance, that is the Minister of Justice who drafts the laws, including the general in charge of the army, and even the warden made an appearance.

However, they are all shrewd people and rarely show favoritism.

Upon discovering that Perseus was accompanied by a cosmic-level youth who appeared to be from the Kunwu race, they mentioned it, intentionally or unintentionally.

Attendants?

Having attendants is good—the eldest prince, as a middleman, may not have much influence, so it's more reliable to have a retainer by your side.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire banquet became extremely harmonious.

No matter how much they try to gloss over the truth, it doesn't change the fact that this was a trap.

Therefore, not long afterward...

Before Xueying Canggu could even lead Perseus around the entire banquet, a shrill female voice shattered the tranquility of the event.

"You have everything! What a boastful claim!"

"Even if 'Spark Group' has everything, can it compare to Virtual Universe Company?"

The surrounding crowd quickly dispersed.

A woman in an elegant long dress stormed into the hall, her sharp eyes locking onto Perseus, before she uttered her first words.

"Tianyu, if we're really going to compare, our Canggu Empire is nothing but an ant compared to the Virtual Universe Company!"

"So, His Highness is trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing his own?"

Another male voice added insult to injury.

Immediately, everyone's gaze swept over the other entrance to the banquet hall.

The pale-faced youth was unlike Xue Ying Cang Gu, who had Perseus, the 'World Lord,' standing beside him, nor was he like Princess Tianyu, who had a merman who looked like a pet following behind her.

But he stood up all by himself.

It's hard to tell whether Perseus should praise this guy for his boldness or say that the Ancient Realm Lord hid himself very well.

"I've never liked wasting time on words."

"not good!"

"Damn it, this is the territory of my Ancient Empire, not the 'Spark Group'! What are you doing, Perseus?"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The moment the words fell, a long ribbon burning with flames pierced through the void and flew straight toward Princess Tianyu. The scorching heat left a charred mark in mid-air. As the ribbon passed, space silently cracked open, and the violent turbulence instantly tore the entire banquet hall apart.

"Bang!!!"

Amidst the endless smoke and dust, figures soared into the sky.

They turned to look and discovered that, without them noticing, a blue water curtain had appeared in front of Princess Tianyu.

The mermaid, with his beautiful, pet-like face, exuded a terrifying aura, forming a perfect contrast with the pale-faced woman beside him. As he unleashed a punch, the vast water surged into giant waves, and the once unstoppable Hun Tian Ling immediately slowed down, as if sinking into a quagmire.

"With me here, you won't get away with it..."

"We're celebrating too soon—BOOM!!!!!"

Flames erupted, and a destructive aura quickly swept through.

In just a moment, all the water evaporated and turned into white mist. A red light rapidly approached from within the surging white mist. Faced with the relentless Hun Tian Ling, Pei Xing Si had no choice but to temporarily avoid the attack and, with Princess Tian Yu, soared straight into the sky.

Unfortunately, he didn't get away before he could.

"Are you waiting for me at such a slow pace?"

Perseus flashed to the left of Patience, his sash spinning and two red lights creating ripples that made Patience stumble and tumble again.

"Perseus, don't push me!"

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed Princess Tianyu far away.

The moment Patience turned around, a vast world of water vapor crashed down upon him.

Unfortunately, it was no use.

Perseus was like a raging fire. As soon as the world projection got close to him, it was quickly ignited by some special force and even devoured, turning into Perseus's own energy.

When Patience looked again, the former was already in front of him, holding the Flame-Slaying Spear, and thrusting it into the sky.

The interplay of water and fire instantly spread in all directions.

Amidst the layers of white mist, Patience, wielding two swords, parried Perseus's spear thrust from mid-air, but a ferocious expression involuntarily appeared on his face.

"You damn bastard..."

"Get out!"

A towering sea of ​​fire quickly engulfed half the sky.

Patience crashed into the earth, shattering countless buildings, and all those affected perished in the terrible turmoil.

He looked at Perseus again.

"Bang!!!"

The realm lord who had broken through to comprehend the Law of Water only saw a burning female corpse, which turned into ashes and scattered in all directions in endless despair.
