MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1311 - 288: Entering the Imperial City Again
"What are your thoughts?" Lu Hong asked.
Qin Hong pondered for a moment and then said, "I wonder just how powerful my master truly is?"
Lu Hong chuckled lightly at these words, "Apart from the mysterious Titan God King, there’s no one on the Dark Continent who can match me."
It was no joke, after the laws manifested, Lu Hong’s recovery was like high-speed racing; at this moment, he had already regained the strength of an Earth Realm Celestial God, and his power was growing rapidly with each passing minute. Holding the supreme laws of war and chaos, why would he fear anyone?
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s resolute and confident response, Qin Hong clenched his fist and whispered, "In that case, Master, why don’t we overthrow this Rongtian Dynasty?!"
Lu Hong replied with a smile, "It’s not easy to topple a dynasty that’s been stable for millions of years."
Qin Hong was confused and said, "Why is it difficult? If Master just steps up and slays the Rongtian Martial God, wouldn’t we be successful?"
"Killing is not hard, but establishing a new order is. Mere slaughter can’t solve the problem. I can’t always assist you in guarding Rongtian Domain. Martial force can only make people temporarily submit, but it can’t make them truly convinced. Besides, a person’s energy is limited. If people underneath only submit temporarily and don’t work wholeheartedly for you, your decrees might not even reach the Imperial Palace. How can you achieve control over the world?"
Hearing Lu Hong’s answer, Qin Hong nodded, "Master’s teachings are right. So what should we do?"
"We still have to kill, but not in the name of Photon City. At least Photon City needs a spotless identity to deal with the upcoming chaos in Rongtian Domain," Lu Hong said. "I’ve been waiting for you to come out of seclusion. Now that your bloodline has awakened, although your spirit cultivation hasn’t broken through the Third Transformation, the strength enhancement brought by your Titan Bloodline has given you enough power to rival the Martial Emperor Realm. As time passes, you will surely break through again and become a Martial God Master. As long as Rongtian Domain doesn’t have anyone at the Martial God level, you can become the pillar of Photon City. Meanwhile, I will take the name of regicide and flee elsewhere. Once the situation stabilizes, I will return and congratulate you."
Lu Hong stood up and continued, "I’m not a member of the Titan Clan, and even though my identity as a foreigner hasn’t been exposed yet, as your Titan Clan’s bloodline awakens and your bodies change, I, this unchanging anomaly, am bound to be discovered. So while the Dark Continent is in constant turmoil, I am not suited to be the main character in this battle for supremacy. This world belongs to your Titan Clan; no one can take it away. Therefore, I can only pave some roads for you within my ability; truly walking this path of the emperor is something only you can do."
At this moment, Qin Hong finally understood what Lu Hong intended to do. He was going to personally kill the Rongtian Martial God and then flee.
"Master, I will do my utmost to restore the glory of our Da Qin of old!" Faced with the grand Da Qin that Lu Hong had just described, controlling the ancient heavens and establishing an unparalleled dynasty, Qin Hong’s heart surged with excitement.
And this sentiment seemed to resonate with his bloodline, causing Qin Hong’s body to grow a few centimeters taller in an instant.
The next day, Lu Hong issued an edict to the whole of Photon City, announcing that he was abdicating in favor of his disciple Qin Hong. From today onward, his disciple Qin Hong would officially take over the position of Photon City Lord. As for Lu Hong himself, he would immediately head to Rongtian Imperial City to meet the Rongtian Martial God and clarify his innocence.
Upon hearing this announcement, everyone in Photon City breathed a sigh of relief. Opposing the Rongtian Dynasty was the last thing these families and citizens of Photon City wanted to see. They took great pride in being part of Rongtian Domain, and now seeing the City Lord make a decision that didn’t contradict the Rongtian Martial God’s will, they cheered instantly.
However, within the City Lord Mansion, Qin Hong, while listening to the cheers, couldn’t help but feel a bit displeased.
Afterward, Lu Hong set out alone on the road to Rongtian Imperial City.
A month later, Lu Hong leisurely arrived at Rongtian Imperial City. Just like last time, at the gate stood Golden Armored General Han. At this moment, General Han was over three meters tall, resembling an iron tower, and looked at Lu Hong with a rather resentful expression.
The lack of hatred made sense because General Han realized that even after his promotion to Martial Emperor, he still seemed no match for the opponent.
This grudge from being wounded by the opponent during this life seemed insurmountable.
Upon seeing General Han at the city gate, Lu Hong smiled and said, "Long time no see."
"Hmph!" General Han snorted coldly, "You’re sensible enough; His Majesty is waiting for you."
After speaking, General Han turned around, leading the way without waiting for Lu Hong.
Following General Han, Lu Hong entered the city and arrived at the grand assembly hall.
At this moment, the assembly hall had many new faces compared to before.
The Second Family Master of the Sky Family and the Ao Family Master were among them.
Both of them cast worried glances at Lu Hong.
After all, these two families were the closest to Photon City, and they hadn’t been spared from the Rongtian Martial God’s suppression in recent times.
Even though everyone’s bodies had changed and grown taller, the grand assembly hall that was built at the time was indeed enormous, barely sufficient without needing to be demolished and rebuilt.
The Rongtian Martial God stood before the throne, looking down upon the tiny Lu Hong, carrying an aura of supreme majesty with his near five-meter height.
The Rongtian Martial God smiled and said, "City Lord Lu, long time no see."
"Rongtian Martial God, today I have come to challenge you." Although Lu Hong repeatedly said at Photon City that he was here to apologize, the people of Rongtian Imperial City all thought Lu Hong came to clear his name, but no one thought it was just a pretext. Apologize? Impossible, he had no sin.
Therefore, coming to commit regicide was Lu Hong’s sole purpose for coming here, but it wasn’t just about killing; there had to at least be a reasonable excuse.
"Challenge?!"
Instantly, everyone was dumbfounded. Weren’t you coming to apologize and prove your innocence? Damn, the documents I worked on all night to censure you, weren’t they all for nothing?
However, compared to such unfounded charges, everyone was more interested in this kind of challenge. After all, the Rongtian Martial God didn’t make many moves, and many who were promoted to Martial Emperor longed to see the true gap between a Martial Emperor and a Martial God. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Hearing Lu Hong’s challenge, the Rongtian Martial God’s expression became restrained, his eyes coldly fixing on Lu Hong, "You want to rebel?!"
"I merely want to challenge. I’m very eager to know how powerful a Martial God is. Of course, if I accidentally kill you, Your Majesty, it would only mean that the Rongtian Martial God didn’t learn well enough," Lu Hong replied calmly, his words laden with sarcasm.
He spoke very plainly, saying he came to kill him. Today, it will either be your death or mine.
"Good, very well. The Photon City Lord defies the imperial decree and dares to openly challenge the imperial authority. Truly, you deserve death! I shall give you this chance to let you die with clarity, to see just how vast the gap between you and a Martial God is!"
The Rongtian Martial God knew he couldn’t avoid this battle. It was also his best opportunity to display his strength to his ministers, and indeed, he had to display his power to suppress the rapidly growing ambitions brought by their increasing strength.
As the Rongtian Martial God’s words fell, a terrifying pressure instantly spread out.
This was the pressure exclusively belonging to the Heavenly God Realm. The Divine Realm is an ascension of life characteristics, a crushing force from a dimensional level of life.
It was the first time the Rongtian Martial God showed his full strength.
As the pressure descended, the entire luxurious imperial palace collapsed instantly, and upon the shoulders of every court minister, it was as if a thousand-pound burden had been placed. Each one who couldn’t bear it directly knelt down.
Experiencing the absolute crushing power of the Rongtian Martial God, several of their gazes held a hint of terror.
To speak of a Martial King facing a Martial Emperor, there might still be a chance to make a move. But a Martial Emperor facing a Martial God wasn’t in the same league at all. They might not even have the chance to make a move before being completely suppressed. This kind of overwhelming power filled them with despair instantly. Rebellion seemed impossible unless they could also rise to the rank of Martial God; otherwise, it couldn’t be done in this lifetime. They might as well just—
The thoughts in everyone’s minds varied. But when they saw Lu Hong still standing proudly and calmly, all their thoughts came to a sudden halt.
