Chapter 819 - : Elder Ruyan’s Ideas, You Flatter Me Too Much
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside the void, the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial, who never expected Chu Kuangren to fight in close combat, found himself caught off guard and eventually overwhelmed by his opponent. All he could see in front of him were the silhouette of rapid punches and palm attacks, making him feel dizzy.
“Destroy it all!”
The Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial yelled as he unleashed his Divine Ferocious Avatar!
The Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial’s strength increased when his avatar emerged. Surges of ferocious qi filled the surrounding area, slamming against the void.
Upon seeing this, Chu Kuangren also revealed his Almighty Avatar, which at first glance, appeared several times more powerful than the Divine Ferocious Avatar.
The Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial gulped as he noticed that the battle was not progressing in his favor. His Divine Ferocious Avatar was like a mere child compared to his opponent’s Almighty Avatar.
How could he be a match for something like that?
To his surprise, he also sensed an aura similar to his Divine Ferocious Avatar from the Almighty Avatar. No, not only that, but the aura of the Chaos Physique, Transcendental Coalescence Physique, and other Daoist Physiques as well.
‘When did the King’s combat style change so much?’
The Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial was extremely puzzled.
However, Chu Kuangren’s Almighty Avatar had already pinned down his Divine Ferocious Avatar to the ground by then, eventually shattering it with a few punches.
All of a sudden, the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial felt a surge of incredibly terrifying energy locking on to him. Before he knew it, the Almighty Avatar had already grabbed him in mid-air. No matter how he struggled to escape with his Emperor qi, his efforts were futile.
“Do you still want to continue?”
Chu Kuangren smiled playfully.
The Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial hurriedly shook his head. “No, no more. I’ve had enough.”
Although he absolutely adored combat, that did not mean he liked being abused and beaten up. He finally understood that the difference in power between himself and Chu Kuangren was just too drastic. Their strengths were worlds apart.
He only possessed a mid-stage Minor Daoist Celestial’s combat strength.
However, from his perspective, he reckoned Chu Kuangren was at least a peak-stage Minor Daoist Celestial who might even be strong enough to go against a Great Daoist Celestial.
At that moment, Chu Kuangren retracted his Almighty Avatar.
The Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial quickly came up to Chu Kuangren and knelt. “Apologies, my King. I’m deeply sorry for my transgressions earlier. Please lay down any punishment upon me as you wish.”
He was convinced now.
The King before him was much stronger than before.
“Sheesh, get up. That’s just your character, right? Punishments are not necessary.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
To protect the Firmament Star, the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial was willing to become part of the formation’s core by entering a deep slumber for twelve eras. How could Chu Kuangren possibly make a fuss about him over something small like that?
“My King, you’re much stronger now.”
The Innate Daoist Celestial said sincerely.
“Of course. Not only is our King stronger now, but he has also become much more attractive too.” A female Daoist Celestial said as she walked over and looked at Chu Kuangren with a crazed obsession in her eyes.
She was known as Daoist Celestial An Yue.
She had always treated Chu Kuangren with god-like reverence and had a deep liking towards him. However, she would always be rejected every time she professed her love to Chu Kuangren every so often.
Nevertheless, she would always serve by his side as his loyal subordinate.
“Watch yourself. You’re going to drool all over the place.”
Luo Shui, who was standing beside her, reminded her.
“Tsk, feelings of love should be expressed. What’s the point of hiding it?”
Daoist Celestial An Yue snorted and walked towards Chu Kuangren, ignoring what Luo Shui said. “My King, I’ve been asleep for such a long time. Now that we can finally meet again, I can’t wait to warm your bed for you later…”
She looked extremely excited.
“No need. My bedsheets are warm enough.”
Chu Kuangren replied frustratingly. He had lost count of the times such conversations had taken place in his memory.
“Oh.” Daoist Celestial An Yue was a little disappointed. However, she quickly returned to normal. Having been rejected so many times, she had long been accustomed to it, and her Daoist core had become incredibly rocksteady.
After meeting with the Daoist Celestials, the next thing to do was handle the Firmament Star’s internal affairs and reorganize the inhabitants of the eighty-one strongholds in the Extraterritorial Region.
Those were extremely daunting tasks.
Even with the help of Elder Ruyan and a group of Daoist Celestials, Chu Kuangren took quite a while to sort those matters out.
After several months, Chu Kuangren and the group of Daoist Celestials finally developed a roadmap for the Firmament Star’s development. What followed after would be the implementation of that plan.
Regarding this matter, Chu Kuangren had assigned Elder Ruyan as the person in charge.
After all, Elder Ruyan had always been Chu Kuangren’s best assistant in dealing with these trivial matters. She would always handle it better than he could.
“Elder Ruyan, no matter how you see it, I’m the Human King now. Why don’t I appoint you as the human race’s chief governor?”
Chu Kuangren said as he rested his chin on his hand, looking at Elder Ruyan, who was busy sorting through a few documents and scripts at that time.
Elder Ruyan rolled her eyes. “I already have my hands full dealing with just Black Heaven Sect alone. The entire human race? By the Heavens, I beg you, my King. Please spare me from this torture.”
“It is a supreme position of power, you know? Are you really going to let this chance slip by, Elder Ruyan?” Chu Kuangren said playfully.
“Hehe. If you want me to die from exhaustion, you might as well be frank about it.”
“Ha! There’s no way. I still have to count on you a lot in the future. By the way, Elder Ruyan, do you have any ideas on how the human race should progress?” Chu Kuangren changed the topic.
Elder Ruyan continued flipping through the documents in her hand as she said, “In that case, I’ll give it to you straight. Currently, only the higher-ups of the human race know that you’re the Human King. The common folk and lower level cultivators still don’t know this yet.”
“Furthermore, the human race is separated all over the place, with hundreds of kingdoms and cities scattered around the world. I’m not even talking about the cultivator orthodoxies yet, just so you know. There are tons of sage orthodoxies and Emperor orthodoxies out there too.”
“If they’re to take charge of themselves like how they have always been doing, that would not be a problem. However, Sect Leader, I understand that you plan to develop our human race further into an interstellar civilization. I must say. I may not have any idea how powerful the other interstellar civilizations are, but no matter how you look at it, one of those civilizations must be hundreds and thousands of times more powerful than any Emperor orthodoxy, right?”
“Before we look into the interstellar, we must first make sure that our own backyard is well managed. If the forces of the Firmament Star remain scattered, it would be extremely challenging to carry out our plans, let alone fend off any attacks from the interstellar civilizations…”
Chu Kuangren listened quietly, his fingers tapping on the handle of his chair unconsciously. He then asked, “How do you plan to solve this, Elder Ruyan?”
“Hm. If we’re going to consolidate our power, the best way would be to…”
“Build our own empire!” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Elder Ruyan, who was interrupted, nodded gently. “That’s right. Putting aside the other races like demons and yashas for now, we, the human race, must first unite. And the best way to do so is just that, by establishing an empire to centralize our power.”
“Ah, building an empire, huh? I still remember like it was yesterday,” Chu Kuangren said with nostalgia. He, too, had created an empire a long time ago.
He was the one who led the human race from a tribal era into a modernized one, eventually creating the first empire the human race had ever seen.
However, they soon went to war against the gods. After his death, that empire fell apart, and the human race gradually evolved into what they are today.
“Summon Luo Shui, Chaos, and the others here.”
Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
With that, Daoist Celestial Luo Shui, Chaos, and the others soon gathered, and Chu Kuangren told them about Elder Ruyan’s ideas.
Everyone’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement upon hearing that, and they all looked at Elder Ruyan enthusiastically.
Elder Ruyan was very shocked by this. After all, those people were the human race’s forefathers in Firmament Star. Any one of them could kill her a hundred times over if they wished. As such, she started feeling embarrassed and anxious for being stared at by everyone.
“Sister Ruyan, right?”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial chuckled.
“You flatter me too much.” Elder Ruyan got a bit frightened. ‘Oh, wow… They’re referring to me as their peers, for heaven’s sake…’
The fact that she, someone who was not even an Emperor, was being addressed as a peer by a Daoist Celestial was simply incredible..
