Chapter 378: Added: Lord of Long Chao

Li Yu himself found it hard to describe his current state.

To put it colloquially, it was: he had cheated.

It could even be said that the "Demon Star Command" had actively cheated for him.

As the only candidate for the Lord of the Demon Star at present, at this special moment when all functions were about to be fully opened, it was very reasonable to have some small benefits.

Li Yu, who had insight into the backend, immediately planned to take action.

But before that, he first had to eliminate a hidden danger he had brought upon himself.

The Lord of Judgment!

Now, outside every human planet in the Long Chao galaxy, a rust-red sun was hanging.

It was precisely these "suns" that completely suppressed the combat power of the Long Chao Empire's vast ruling class.

Now that the dust had settled, even without the suppression of the Lord of Judgment, those Archbishops, Generals, and Viceroys were all controlled by the Demon Star Command, making some choices that violated their nature, or even simply turning over a new leaf; this was a sign of the Demon Star Command invading from the world's origin, which was irreversible.

Since that was the case, it was time for Li Yu to invite this clone of the dominant-level god back.

Although he hadn't been exposed so far.

But the risk of something going wrong increased with every day he delayed.

It's easy to invite a god but hard to send one away!

The sooner he sent it away, the better.

And when Li Yu transformed again, in the appearance of "Lady Miaochang," and requested the Lord of Judgment to withdraw its clone here,

an accident, as expected, occurred.

The clone sent by the Lord of Judgment indeed had no wisdom and was arranged by Li Yu after he played the role, but when withdrawing the clone, the Lord of Judgment could take the opportunity to sense the Long Chao galaxy.

This was a special dominant-level god!

If He didn't care, then naturally everything would be fine.

But He was obsessed with this.

A spiritual response mixed with doubt and anger surged from those rust-red suns:

"The Qi of many evil gods remains, why leave?"

"Judgment... annihilation... is your mission."

When this spiritual response came.

Li Yu also heard the toad croaking coming from the void.

The Toad God was watching the fun, laughing at his signs of playing himself into a corner.

Fortunately, Li Yu had anticipated this scene, and sighed in his heart: "There is no free lunch in the world; sure enough, I still can't avoid paying a great favor."

As the thought fell, he didn't hesitate and used two methods at once.

First, he replied with a spiritual response:

"Great My Lord!"

"The evil gods here have already been judged and will soon pass away."

"It's just that your devout followers have sensed that someone here is summoning the Lord of the Furnace who burns all things..."

While this spiritual response was being transmitted, Li Yu's clone had already begun to communicate with the Furnace.

Similarly, according to his previous promise, he said it again.

"Great Furnace!"

"You might be able to cast a projection over... after scaring away the clone of the Lord of Judgment... I will, at some point in the future, let you crush the Lord of Myriad Changes again."

"Sworn in the name of 【Spirit Venerable】."

When Li Yu gave this spiritual response and promise.

In the void, the croaking sound came again; the Toad God was laughing again.

Only in the laughter that only he could hear, there was clearly a teasing and admiring meaning.

Li Yu understood the Toad God's subtext in seconds.

He was laughing at Li Yu for tricking both sides, and even using the Lord of Myriad Changes as a front to issue empty checks.

Finally, swearing in the name of the Spirit Venerable was even more ridiculous, because the Toad God, who had observed Li Yu many times, already knew that this guy was a non-believer, not to mention that the Spirit Venerable was a god who had fallen for many years.

Li Yu's behavior!

Shameless, but effective.

Although the Furnace also wanted to beat up the Lord of Judgment, compared to that, He still preferred to go and mess with the Lord of Myriad Changes.

So He gave a projection very readily.

And when that terrifying "True Sun" appeared at the edge of the Long Chao galaxy,

the Lord of Judgment also decisively gave up holding its own divine choice and devotee accountable, and without a word, recalled its clone.

When those rust-red suns disappeared!

The ruling class, which was almost going mad and weakened to the extreme, finally gained a chance to breathe.

The trend of the Demon Star Command receiving the galaxy did not change in the slightest!

But the progress did indeed become slow.

For the sake of rewards!

For the sake of benefits!

Li Yu, who had already paid the favor, didn't delay at all and immediately began to take action.

One by one, hidden special side quests!

Were triggered by him without any effort.

They were all things like 【Exploration】, 【Origin】, 【Collection】, 【Subjugation】, etc.

The purpose of these side quests was probably to let the Demon Star Command understand this Long Chao galaxy more deeply, so as to control it in a targeted manner.

The facts were indeed so!

Every time Li Yu completed a side quest, the receiving progress skyrocketed by a large margin, and in the blink of an eye, it had already exceeded 50%.

In return, the merit point number Li Yu possessed was also expanding greatly.

He had already begun to fantasize about how many benefits he could exchange for after returning to the Demon Star space.

Others might still be unknown!

But the secret medicine formula and promotion ritual for Sequence Three of the Spirit Venerable path were definitely within reach.

If he was lucky, maybe the main spiritual materials could be exchanged directly.

"Those beings who follow 【True God Favor】, whether they are strong or not, depend entirely on the will of the gods; if they meet a generous one who is extremely favored, they can be promoted to demigod level in a short time, such as that Mad King Ilya."

"But transcendent beings who follow the path of ascending to godhood have too much trouble; normally, it will take an extremely long time, and most will die halfway."

"But it's different with the Demon Star Command and Reincarnation Command."

"Acceleration, cheating... everything is available."

"For example, me!"

"If I hadn't become a Calamity Star Commandant and stayed in 【Wanfu City】 all the time, it would be almost impossible to be promoted to a Food-Eating True Person; if I was lucky, I might have become a Dao Doctor."

"Eh?"

"So that's why these two artifacts have never given Commandant qualifications to transcendent beings outside the present world?"

"Is this also a calculation?"

"To give some first-mover advantage to transcendent beings who practice the path of ascending to godhood?"

Li Yu was thinking while quickly raising the receiving degree to 80%.

But the last part wouldn't move no matter what.

Li Yu immediately understood the reason and returned to Long Huang Star.

Sure enough!

The three demigods, Mad King, War Commander, and Pope, were still fighting each other.

It was unknown how much resentment had accumulated over the past years; they had been entangled for several days, and the injuries of all three were worsening, with no sign of ending at all.

Originally, it would have ended faster, but Li Yu let the Lord of Judgment clone leave, which allowed the three to recover quite a bit of strength.

Then, with incomparable tacit understanding, they simultaneously dealt black hands to the other two!

Alas, they were old opponents who had been fighting for many years, and they knew each other too well to break the moves.

And so, they continued to be trapped.

But from here, one could also see the arrogance of these three.

"Clearly, all three could sense the rebellion that was going on outside and sweeping the entire galaxy, but none of them cared."

"Clearly, they were so arrogant that they thought everything didn't matter; as long as the three of them were alive and could solve the other party or solve the dispute, then no matter how serious the rebellion was, it would not shake the Empire's rule."

"From the 【Historical Materials】 I peeked at now, it is indeed true."

"The strict design of this empire on the three lines of politics, religion, and military almost ruled out the possibility of any rebellion succeeding."

"Even if the population expands several times, it is the same."

"Especially when these three lines were connected to the three terrifying gods 【Lord of Myriad Changes】, 【Blood God】, and 【Evil God】, it was even more indestructible."

"The three believed that even if the empire had truly fallen, they had the ability to reverse time and turn the tide."

"But this was limited to internal or bottom-level rebellions."

"If it was an external invasion by groups like Chaos Zerg, green-skinned orcs, mechanical necromancers, etc., then these three would immediately shake hands and make peace to face the outside world together."

"Unfortunately, this time is very different."

"Although I am not as powerful as those heaven-defying races, I also belong to an external enemy."

Li Yu muttered in his heart while walking toward the Papal Headquarters.

But on his body, there was not a trace of fighting intent.

The reason was simple!

He didn't intend to attack the three, suppress them, or assassinate them.

Inside were three demigods after all.

Even if they were weakened versions of demigods, they were still not something Li Yu could solve now.

In fact, let alone three, even if one was taken out alone, and Li Yu was allowed to fight head-on or sneak attack in the dark, he couldn't kill the other party at all.

Of course, it was not difficult for Li Yu to save his life; he could just run.

It was the Demon Star Command, which had already mastered a large part of the galaxy, that had plenty of ways to make these three demigods fall or leave by influencing the "world origin" and "fate" in the future.

It was just that it was too slow.

Li Yu wanted to do it quickly and obtain this part of the benefits.

Because on the three of them, there was still a special side quest whose difficulty level was almost on par with the main quest, or even higher: 【Lord of Long Chao】.

The requirements and part of the rewards for this mission had been spoiled to Li Yu by the Demon Star Command in advance.

"No need to behead any demigod ruler, just let them leave; no matter what method is used, as long as they are separated from the Long Chao galaxy, it counts as completing the mission."

"Afterward, the Commandant will obtain rewards including a large number of merit points, a new title 'Lord of Long Chao', etc."

Li Yu grasped the key point without any effort.

No need to kill!

Just let them leave.

And a reward content that made Li Yu immensely tempted.

Lord of Long Chao!

After wearing this title, the Commandant would become the master of the Long Chao galaxy and could exert influence on the galaxy through the Demon Star Command.

When he saw this note, Li Yu couldn't suppress his desire for possession at all.

Therefore, he immediately made up his mind.

The next moment, he took action.

He saw that behind Li Yu, the void suddenly rippled, and an extremely special artifact drilled out.

This was an artifact related to games and gambling that almost all powerful transcendent beings in the Boundless Spirit Realm knew, and there were many in existence.

That's right, it was the Chaos Box that Li Yu had won from "Myriad Changes divine choice Joseph" before.

When this box appeared.

The toad croaking from the Toad God, which was full of joy, also came again.

He was worthy of being an extremely qualified god of fun.

He loved watching excitement, and he also loved watching card games.
