Chapter 556 Chapter 556 – Thirty Years
After leaving the core of the Round Table, Chen Heng did not make such a big fuss as the others had expected. In the eyes of ordinary people, since he had defeated the Twilight Knight in a fair and square manner, he would naturally flaunt his dignity.
No matter how much he flaunted his might, it would not be too much. After all, in the past, the Twilight Knight was the number one person in the galaxy. His strength was well-deserved.
Chen Heng had killed the Twilight Knight and defeated the strongest person in the past. This was definitely something worth bragging about. At this time, it was even more extraordinary.
However, Chen Heng was not interested in this. He brought Lu Yao and left the territory of the Round Table. Just like that, he walked forward and left this place silently. He headed towards the Star Alliance. Along the way, no one dared to stop him.
Of course, even if they wanted to stop him, they did not have the strength to do so. The strongest foundation and strength of the Round Table had already been exhausted when Chen Heng entered this place.
After the defeat of the Twilight Knight, the entire Round Table was extremely lost. They did not have the strength to fight against an expert like Chen Heng. He continued to move forward until he reached the edge of the Round Table’s influence. Only then did he let his aura be discovered.
In a few desolate galaxies, people discovered Chen Heng’s aura. The aura on his body was still so powerful. His face was calm, and Lu Yao followed beside him. He continued to move forward silently.
From some clues, it could be seen that he had experienced a great battle before. There were also some traces of a great battle on his body. However, even so, the aura on his body was still powerful. That kind of power spread out, as if it could shake the stars and change the world in all directions. With such a powerful aura, those who had not reached a certain level of strength would not even have the courage to stand in front of him. Of course, the more crucial thing was that Chen Heng had appeared here.
One had to know that before this, Chen Heng had headed towards the core of the Round Table to battle with the Twilight Knight. Now that Chen Heng had returned, the result of the fight between him and the Twilight Knights seemed to be obvious. “The King of Stars has appeared once again. In a remote starfield, his aura is very powerful!”
“His body seems to have been through the traces of a great battle. His aura is different from usual.”
“Could it be that even the Twilight Knight is no match for the King of Stars and was defeated by him?!”
All sorts of speculations emerged in the galaxy. Chen Heng’s appearance was an extremely obvious signal to all the forces in the starry sky. One knew that Chen Heng had rushed to fight the Twilight Knight.
And now, Chen Heng was still alive and well. It seemed that nothing much had happened to him. Since Chen Heng was fine, what about the Twilight Knight? Had he fallen and been placed under the King of Stars?
This might have attracted everyone’s attention. Regarding this, countless people had sent their subordinates into the territory of the Round Table, wanting to find out the situation of that battle.
Very quickly, the situation of that battle was revealed. The news of the fall of the Twilight Knight spread. Immediately, the entire galaxy was in an uproar. Although they had long guessed this, when the news was finally confirmed, the people could not help but feel terrified.
The Twilight Knight was once the leader of the Five Knights. He had led the other four knights to battle in the galaxy. Along the way, he had conquered many powerful forces. He had even fought with the king and personally forced the Golden King into a desperate situation.
Under the leaders.h.i.+p of this knight, the Round Table was able to become the overlord that ruled over the entire galaxy. And now, this great knight who had once suppressed an entire era had finally fallen just like that?
su
As long as they thought of this, the surrounding people couldn’t help but feel complicated emotions. After that, an even larger scale counterattack began. After realizing that the Round Table’s final trump card had been used up, the world’s people became even crazier.
At this moment, who knew how many powers had risen and attacked the Round Table, beating them up. The members of the Round Table did not react to this at all.
Strictly speaking, the moment the Twilight Knight fell, the Round Table a.s.sociation had already fallen apart. Not only was there huge pressure from the outside, but there were also many conflicts erupting from within. Many disgruntled powerhouses rebelled and became independent. Some of these powerhouses defected to the newly formed Star Alliance, while others relied on the past resources to develop and become independent.
Although the Round Table seemed to exist now, it had disappeared. However, with the fall of the giant of the Round Table, the structure of the galaxy would change. Many resources would be freed up for the world to fight over.
For a time, the entire galaxy was filled with disputes. It looked exceptionally lively. Chen Heng did not care about this. After the collapse of the Round Table, the structure of the starry sky might change temporarily, but eventually, it would gradually stabilize.
Especially at this moment in the Star Alliance. After the fall of the Twilight Knight, the Star Alliance was the new overlord. It was destined to replace the past position of the Round Table and become the overlord of the next era.
The surrounding powerhouses also understood this point. The reason why they were fighting was actually to fight for a little bargaining chip for themselves. After joining the Star Alliance, they could fight for better treatment.
As for dominating a region and fighting against the Star Alliance, no one had ever thought of this. Otherwise, they would be courting death. Bringing Lu Yao, Chen Heng returned to Hechi Star and entered seclusion there. As for Lu Yao, she cultivated with Gunali and also became calm. The interior of Hechi Star had the best environment and conditions, which could provide the best guidance for the two of them.
Not only were there powerhouses from all over the world who could be their mentors here, but even Chen Heng would also often appear to give them pointers. Under such conditions, their future was destined to be very bright, an existence that countless people envied.
“It’s like this…”
In the Star Alliance’s headquarters, a tall Golden Dragon Tree stood. Its entire body emitted a tremendous aura of life, infecting the surrounding land. Upon closer inspection, one could see that this Golden Dragon Tree was very tall.
There were some special marks on it, and it seemed to be very similar to the Golden Dragon Tree that the Twilight Knight had. Of course, in reality, this was the Golden Dragon Tree from the core of Round Table.
Before leaving the Round Table, Chen Heng did not do anything. Apart from the initial stone tablet left behind by the Twilight Knight, he also brought the rest of the things. Of course, there were not many things that could catch his eye at his level. It could even be said that there were very few things.
However, the Golden Dragon Tree in front of him was one of them. Therefore, it was directly brought back by Chen Heng. Together with the mystic realm fragment from before, it was placed here, becoming one of the foundations of the Star Alliance.
At this moment, Lu Yao was standing here, with Ye Zi, Gunali, and the others standing in front of her. She was here to tell them about her previous experience, telling them what had happened.
“The Twilight Knight fell just like that…”
After listening to Lu Yao’s story, Gunali was still okay. She did not have a detailed understanding of the Twilight Knight’s power. Therefore, although she felt powerful, she did not feel it too much.
er.
Ye Zi was different. Standing in front of Lu Yao, she looked a little absent-minded as she recalled the existence of the Twilight Knight. At this moment, she still had a magical feeling. The Twilight Knight was a powerhouse that stood above all mortals. It was an existence that was comparable to a king. He had already possessed combat strength comparable to a king in the past. He had once clashed head-on with the Golden King at his peak. That kind of strength was terrifying. In the thousands of years after the Golden King had fallen due to an accident, the Twilight Knight had always been a nightmare in the hearts of the followers of the Golden King.
To them, the name Twilight Knight meant that they could not be defeated. It was a terrifying existence. In the eyes of Ye Zi and the followers of the Golden King, their king was, of course, the strongest person in the world.
as
And the Twilight Knight who could fight head-on with the Golden King at his peak was naturally a terrifying existence. And now, the mountain that used to be great had been moved away just like that and died in someone else’s hands.
That person was none other than Lu Yao’s elder brother, a young man who had not even existed for fifty years. A young man who had not even reached fifty years of age had not only accomplished a great feat that countless people could not touch. He had even reached the level of a king and defeated the Twilight Knight, a terrifying powerhouse who had been at the peak of existence thousands of years ago.
This thing was really like magic, and it was somewhat unacceptable. After a long while, Ye Zi finally woke up from her dream and accepted this reality.
“Your brother’s strength…”
She looked at Lu Yao in front of her. After a long while, she sighed and said, “It might be about the same as when my king was at his peak…”
Comparable to the Golden King. This evaluation could be extremely high for the followers of the Golden King. After all, in their eyes, the Golden King was the only G.o.d in this world, an existence that was different from the defilement.
“Maybe.”
Lu Yao did not have much of a reaction to Ye Zi’s words. She only smiled. Compared to Ye Zi, Lu Yao did not have such a majestic impression of the Golden King.
He might be an extremely powerful powerhouse, but so what? He was just a dead man now, no different from the Twilight Knight. In Lu Yao’s heart, the Golden King was no longer grand. Although he was worthy of respect, it was impossible for her to wors.h.i.+p him like a G.o.d.
As if sensing Lu Yao’s att.i.tude, Ye Zi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she only let out a sigh and did not say anything
“Yaoyao, what do you plan to do next?”
Standing on the spot, she looked at Lu Yao in front of her. With a change of tone, she asked again.
“Cultivate and become stronger.”
Facing Ye Zi’s gaze, Lu Yao smiled. She looked very calm and relaxed. When the Round Table was hunting her, Lu Yao’s current state was very relaxed.
Now, she had the most solid backing. Her elder brother was one of the strongest people in the galaxy, and the faction she belonged to was the overlord of the galaxy. Her parents were still around.
Compared to her past state of being hunted down by the Round Table, which was constantly suppressed, it was much more relaxed. However, Lu Yao did not give up on her cultivation because of this, nor did she lose her motivation. There was still one more thing that she had to resolve in her new heart.
“I have to work hard and not waste the conditions that my elder brother prepared for me. I have to become strong enough to be able to help my elder brother.” Standing where she was, facing Ye Zi’s gaze, Lu Yao spoke softly and voiced her thoughts. “After that, I have one more thing that I have to do.
“There are some things that I have to get to the bottom of. There are also some accounts that I have to find someone to get to the bottom of…”
She spoke softly, and as she spoke, she silently raised her head and looked toward a certain place in the galaxy. At this moment, the golden light in her eyes flashed. It was dazzling and dazzling, but it quickly disappeared, disappearing. Beside her, Ye Zi listened to Lu Yao’s words and nodded her head.
On the other hand, Gunali was standing under the Golden Dragon Tree and listening to the conversation between Lu Yao and Ye Zi. At this moment, she was about to doze off.
Compared to Lu Yao, Gunali’s talent was not bad at all. She usually worked hard in her cultivation. At this moment, she was already close to the Fourth Rank. Such strength was definitely considered formidable for her age.
Moreover, from its looks, she was not far from officially advancing to the Fourth Rank. In front of her, the tall Golden Dragon Tree stood alone, its branches and leaves swaying on it. From time to time, strands of golden light would fall, illuminating the land in all directions and illuminating the surroundings with vitality.
Time slowly pa.s.sed in peace. In the following period, the Star Alliance slowly developed and expanded to the outside world step by step. Very quickly, thirty years pa.s.sed.
During the thirty years, Chen Heng rarely made a move on the outside world. However, the few times were all soul-stirring occasions. In the thirty years under the influence of Chen Heng, the Star Alliance did not make big strides forward. Instead, it slowly expanded, gradually bringing the areas under its jurisdiction into its control.
This was the result of deliberately slowing down the pace. Otherwise, with the Star Alliance’s current appeal, as long as they were willing, there would be a large number of star regions willing to join the Star Alliance and become a part of the Star Alliance.
However, even though this was fast, it would also lead to various internal problems. It was easy for the Star Alliance’s composition to become chaotic and degenerate into a Round Table-like organization.
Chen Heng did not want to see this happen. Therefore, he deliberately slowed down his pace and focused his energy on internal affairs. In the past thirty years, the Star Alliance has greatly improved itself, built an academy, and nurtured experts. They had achieved good results.
When the new generation of experts stepped onto the stage, they also accelerated the construction of the Star Alliance, making the process even easier.
Overall, every step of the Star Alliance was very steady, not too radical, and there weren’t too many problems. As for the powerhouses, there was now another peak powerhouse in the Star Alliance.
SO
That was Lu Yao. Thirty years wasn’t much to some powerhouses. Maybe it was just a time of cultivation. However, to someone like Lu Yao, who had the potential to become a king, this was not the case.
In thirty years, she had broken through many obstacles. With the help of the initial stone tablet, she had reached the Sixth Rank. As the chosen one in this era, Lu Yao’s talent and opportunities could not be underestimated. Her cultivation speed was also faster than ordinary people could imagine. In addition to the initial stone tablet, which represented the origin of this world, and Chen Heng’s teachings, Lu Yao’s cultivation speed was extremely fast.
In a short span of thirty years, she had reached the level of Five Knights. Although she could not be compared to a figure like the Twilight Knight, she was still comparable to a third-rate knight like the Blue Knight. Her strength was not inferior at all.
At this level, she had also stepped onto the star stage. In a short span of several decades, she had established her ill.u.s.trious reputation and become the benchmark for the new generation of powerhouses in the Star Alliance.
In this regard, the surrounding powerhouses could not help but sigh. There were simply too many experts in the Star Alliance. In the past, there were only three supreme kings, the King of Stars, the Red Lotus King, and the Black
King.
But now, there were also Lu Yao and the Crimson Knight. Yes, the Crimson Knight had also joined the Star Alliance. After the news of the Twilight Knight’s death spread, the Crimson Knight had sat under the Golden Dragon Tree in silence for a long time. It was not until several months later that she resumed her activities and woke up again.
After that, she followed the agreement with Chen Heng and joined the Star Alliance, strengthening the Star Alliance’s reputation. And now, with the addition of Lu Yao, a powerhouse of the new generation. Regardless of the quality or number of powerhouses, the current Star Alliance would not be inferior to the Round Table of the past. It might even surpa.s.s it. Even if the Five Knights of the past returned and fought against the Star Alliance, the Star Alliance would not be afraid. Under such an atmosphere, it seemed more and more natural for the Star Alliance to ascend to the top and become the overlord of the universe.
And on a certain day, the Star Alliance began to take action. Under Lu Yao’s lead, many experts headed towards a remote starfield. Her actions immediately attracted the attention of all the powerhouses around her.
The news about starfield was spread out at the fastest speed, and it was known by everyone. Soon, everyone knew about the situation of that starfield. It was a very remote and desolate starfield. It was not flouris.h.i.+ng, and there were not many civilizations.
There were only a few life stars, and the level of civilization on them was not very high. They were not of much value. Such a starfield should not be of much value to the Star Alliance. Normally, even if they gave it away for free, they might not want it.
But now, Lu Yao was leading a group of people and heading towards that starfield with great fanfare.
Was there a reason for this?
Almost subconsciously, this thought flashed through everyone’s minds. At this moment, they subconsciously wanted to follow Lu Yao and explore the secrets that existed in that starfield.
Under this unprecedented attention, Lu Yao’s figure descended into this s.p.a.ce zone and arrived at a certain place in this starfield.
“Is this the place?”
Leading the group behind her, Lu Yao landed outside a star. If one looked carefully, one would discover quite a few familiar faces. Behind Lu Yao, Ye Zi and the other followers were all here. At this moment, they had arrived together with Lu Yao.
And in front of them was a somewhat desolate star. The star before them did not seem to be flouris.h.i.+ng. Although it already had traces of life and was a life star, it did not give birth to a sufficient civilization.
