Chapter 489: I Know, But I Disagree

Of course Titus wanted to become the ruler of Return Star, but the problem now was that this occasion was not suitable to discuss this issue.

Because there were still outsiders present here, especially that God of the Force, who almost single-handedly ended this war.

Carrying the weight of this Merit, if he put forward any suggestions, the numerous High Echelon present would find it almost impossible to ignore.

This would lead to unknown variables, so Titus didn't want to discuss this issue right now.

If Return Star didn't take the initiative to mention it, outsiders would have absolutely no way to open this sensitive topic.

So this was also the fundamental reason why Titus instructed his people not to mention this topic for the time being.

But now, someone had already taken the initiative to provoke this topic. Although they spoke words seemingly to help him, their purpose was absolutely not to help him.

Vimala's expression was indifferent. That Prince was naturally her person.

If Titus didn't want to discuss this matter, she had plenty of ways to help Titus bring it up.

If he dared to decline like that, the next moment Alexei would dare to stand up and say he was capable.

And according to the original plan, things shouldn't have been like this.

Unfortunately, Digor's plan was on the verge of failure. It was entirely this God of the Force who came to the rescue, causing the current situation to be hundreds of thousands of miles away from what was expected.

"I believe now is not the appropriate time to discuss this matter." He could only try to gloss over it.

"No... His Highness Titus, this is also Majesty Digor's wish. You should be the rightful heir!"

That Prince spoke with deep sincerity. Those who didn't know would really think he was Titus's loyal supporter.

"Prince Bolvar, did Majesty Digor leave any last words or instructions?"

Vimala didn't pay attention to the clamoring Prince, but instead looked at Bolvar.

Bolvar's face sank. What Digor said was indeed correct; this woman was extremely ambitious.

This sentence forced him to discuss this issue right now. If he said no, or said they would discuss it later, the efficacy of the so-called last words would be greatly reduced.

It even gave the other party a chance to question it—

Since there are, why didn't you bring them out in the beginning?

"Yes, Digor had long arranged everything." Bolvar said coldly, "Titus is his designated heir. Under Titus's control, Return Star will march towards glory."

"Hehe..." An ambiguous laugh suddenly sounded in the venue.

"What are you laughing at!?" Bolvar was holding a stomach full of fire with nowhere to vent. Hearing this laugh, he suddenly felt as if he had found a venting point and shouted angrily.

"Nothing, just thought of something funny." Alexei's demeanor was leisurely and relaxed: "Oh my, I seem to remember that since a few years ago, it was Queen Vimala who was controlling Return Star, and the development seemed to be not bad either."

Titus's expression was gloomy. He really couldn't figure out what this younger brother of his wanted to do. Was he a shit-stirrer?

"Furthermore, if you speak Empty words are no proof like this, we might be convinced, but others might not be."

Bolvar snorted coldly, accessed Return Star's highest intelligent system on the spot, inputted a string of confidential codes, and pulled up a Recording.

"...If you see this Recording, it means my plan has succeeded. Return Star will march on the path of glory, and my sacrifice is also worth it..."

Digor sat upright on the throne, his tone profound. It was just that everyone's expressions were somewhat strange, faintly casting their gazes towards "Elton".

What Bullshit plan, if things went according to your plan, we'd all be Dead by now.

If this Excellency hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Return Star would have long existed in name only.

A trace of disdain flashed deep within Vimala's eyes, but she covered it up very well on the surface, and it wasn't noticed by anyone.

Li Yu also felt it was somewhat funny. If Digor knew the final outcome would be like this, the opening words of the Recording probably wouldn't have been this sentence.

Bolvar was also somewhat embarrassed. The main reason was that things happened too urgently, and he didn't have time to edit it.

Otherwise, he definitely would have cut out this very first segment.

"...I know that among my descendants, there will be some who covet this position. But the person I have designated is only one, and that is Titus..."

Hearing this sentence, Titus's eyes were somewhat dazed, and Digor's voice and smiling face seemed to surface before his eyes.

Digor might not care much about his other offspring, but regarding Titus, there was absolutely nothing to say. Perhaps it was also because Titus was his first descendant.

"...I know there will be many who are unconvinced, but this is my decision. I formulated this plan and led Return Star to victory. And this person I have chosen will also lead Return Star to another peak..."

Digor's words caused a silence to fall over this place. It wasn't because they were awed by these words, but because they felt somewhat embarrassed.

Because strictly speaking, the final victory didn't have much to do with Digor.

Of course, they also understood Digor's meaning. He was using this majesty to pave the way for Titus. There was no problem with the original intention, it was just that some unexpected accidents occurred in the result.

Bolvar pursed his lips, feeling that Digor's majesty had a trend of collapsing, but at least this was evidence.

No one would use video forgery for this kind of matter; being found out would be digging their own grave.

"Father was truly too good to Big Brother. It really makes me jealous." Alexei's tone was inexplicable; no one knew what exactly he was thinking.

Even if he said he coveted the position of ruler, it was impossible to use this method.

Since he didn't covet it, why draw aggro here?

"Do the others have any objections?" Bolvar looked around.

Those here were all Return Star's most core High Echelon. After they reached a unified consensus, all that was needed was just to notify the others.

However, among this group of people, quite a few had their expressions change slightly and cast their gazes towards Vimala.

"Huh, interesting... Why is this different from what I heard?"

In the silent venue, a voice came. Everyone's expressions varied as they looked toward the source of the voice.

It was "Elton"!

Bolvar's expression shifted. He knew it; the other party definitely had ulterior motives.

Titus subconsciously clenched his fists; a variable was coming!

Vimala, who was just about to speak, looked at "Elton," a peculiar color flashing in her eyes.

Through this skin, what she saw was an imposing lifeform.

"During the final moments of Digor's life, I was the one accompanying him. He told me that in this war, he understood a truth: it is impossible for anything to develop according to an established plan."

All gazes gathered on him as Li Yu spoke with assurance:

"Therefore, he decided to give up on designating an heir and leave it to Return Star to choose for themselves."

Elton's appearance reminded many people of some things that had happened in the past.

Titus's firm plan to identify Li Yu ultimately ended in failure because of Elton's last-minute betrayal.

And now this God of the Force descended using Elton's Corporeal Form. Didn't this mean that Elton had been controlled by the Other-Dimensional Camp a long time ago?

It was just that although everyone remembered this old matter, no one dared to bring it up.

After Bolvar heard this sentence, the anger in his heart spewed out. Based on his understanding of Digor, even in the final moments of his life, it was impossible for him to say such words.

What exactly does this guy want to do!?

"Then what does Your Excellency mean?"

But Bolvar still suppressed his anger, forcing himself to calm down.

"I believe what Digor said is very reasonable." Li Yu's tone was calm.

"Does Your Excellency have proof?" Bolvar questioned.

"No." Li Yu spoke frankly. This made Bolvar feel a surge of humiliation; this Man wanted to forcefully intervene in Return Star's internal affairs.

Alexei spoke up again: "Your Excellency the Prince, do not be too constrained by the rules. It is also very normal for Father to have this kind of realization in his final moments. After all, who could have expected it to turn out this way?"

Bolvar was Furious. You kid didn't say this just now.

When I said Digor left last words, you were the first to ask me to show evidence.

"If you dare say one more word, don't blame me for helping Digor educate you." Bolvar's gloomy tone made Alexei startle in fear, and ultimately he could only shrug his shoulders, expressing silence.

"I wonder what your opinion is?" Vimala also opportunely opened her mouth to ask, her eyes carrying anticipation. The God of the Force taking the initiative to speak saved Vimala a lot of effort.

"I believe Princess Rein should be a qualified monarch." Li Yu wasn't polite and immediately designated someone.

The always-silent Klein suddenly raised her head, various emotions flashing across.

Let me be the monarch?

Did Li Yu ask this great lifeform to designate me?

It must be him!

"This is Return Star's internal affair... Digor has already designated the heir!" Bolvar was thoroughly enraged. Blazing flames spewed from his eyes, as if he was going to attack in the next moment.

"I know..." Li Yu's tone remained peaceful as he gazed at the Furious Bolvar: "But I disagree."

In Li Yu's past life, there was an allusion called Deliberate misrepresentation. He felt the current situation had a similar effect to Deliberate misrepresentation.

Vimala felt this sentence was like a sharp arrow shooting into her heart. She once thought Digor was domineering enough.

But these few simple words completely shattered the image Digor had once left in her heart.

Logically speaking, this was Return Star's internal affair, and others had no right to dictate.

However, as the meritorious official who saved the entirety of Return Star, when Li Yu said this sentence now, it surprisingly didn't make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Of course, this was also related to the other party's powerful Strength.

Bolvar panted like a bull, glaring angrily. The metal floor beneath his feet had already been melted into liquid by the blazing temperature.

He only felt an indescribable humiliation filling his heart, as if someone was stepping on him and rubbing him back and forth on the sole of their foot.

Bolvar belonged to the conservative Return Star Royalty. He was Titus's staunch supporter and only acknowledged Titus.

If Klein was to become the Empress, it would be better to let Alexei take the position of ruler.

"Are none of you brave enough to refute!?" He looked around. The numerous High Echelon sat in their places, their expressions complex.

"Truly a bunch of trash!"

"Venerable Elder, don't be so angry. On the surface, picking a monarch seems to be a major event for the entire Return Star." Alexei Suddenly Appear again.

"But in reality, after all the picking and choosing, isn't it still choosing among the few of us?"

"Like General Aethel, no matter which one of us becomes Return Star's ruler, it seems to make no difference to him. Anyway, it won't be his turn, so why risk stopping it?"

Aisel's mouth twitched slightly, and he could only pretend not to have heard.

"Furthermore, since you are so powerful, why don't you refute it yourself?"

Alexei's words spoke to the hearts of many people. Although they were a community of shared interests, since this Leader position wouldn't fall to them no matter what, why take the risk?

"I said, if you open your mouth again, I will educate you on Digor's behalf!"

A strong wind howled, and blazing temperature rushed over the face. Before Alexei even had time to react, Bolvar disappeared from his original spot.

His Strength was enough to look down upon the Interstellar world. However, when he made a move, another Man also moved.

Boom!

A blazing cluster of Energy exploded. Venerable Elder Rudolf was quick-witted and agile, annihilating most of the Flowing Light.

Although the rest of the people couldn't defeat Bolvar, they had no problem resisting these shockwaves.

"Your Excellency Bolvar, why get angry with a junior..." The one who intervened was the Lord of the Ark. He stood in front of Alexei, his demeanor composed.

Only then did Alexei react. He subconsciously took two steps back, reigned in the smile on his face, his eyes somewhat gloomy.

Li Yu met this with cold eyes, showing no reaction. He basically couldn't see Bolvar's movements clearly anymore, but this didn't stop him from continuing to pretend.

Bolvar definitely wouldn't kill Alexei, at most slapping him or something, but he was still stopped by the Lord of the Ark.

The heir issue was interfered with by an outsider, and even teaching a junior a lesson was stopped. The anger in Bolvar's heart could no longer be contained.

"If after this war, what is left is a puppet-like Return Star Imperial Family, then there is no need for it to continue existing!"

Bolvar's hair danced in the wind, his eyes cold. He looked around, seemingly ready to make a move at any time, using his life to maintain the final dignity of the Imperial Family.

"Fine, make your move." Li Yu gazed at Bolvar, his indifferent eyes not showing the slightest ripple.

"The Citizens of Return Star probably wouldn't mind publicly electing a president."

What's with this guy acting as if Return Star couldn't survive without their Imperial Family.

This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured down, making the anger that had almost burned into Bolvar's brain suddenly extinguish.

Only then did he suddenly wake up. If the Imperial Family didn't want to be the ruler, there were plenty of people who wanted to ascend to this position.

Even many people present felt their hearts stir slightly upon hearing Li Yu's words.

The long-term rule had made Bolvar subconsciously believe that Return Star was the Imperial Family, and the Imperial Family was Return Star.

But in reality, that wasn't the case!
