Capítulo 1853: Chapter 1872: A Gentleman’s Word Parker Berger is the first minister and also the Think Tank; this man not only understands the Yin-Yang and Eight Trigrams but is also a genuine psychologist. He speculates that the senior Tree Spirit from the Longevity Empire and others are most likely in the Sky River realm by now. Therefore, the Longevity Empire is facing its greatest crisis since its founding, having to confront a powerful being at the Immortality level! If this hurdle cannot be overcome, then the Longevity Empire will have to undergo a complete transformation. “We have at least three days to prepare!” Parker Berger said gravely, “With the appearance of the Heavenly Sound, no one can travel through the void; even the Immortality level experts will likely have to wait until the three-day Heavenly Sound period ends to march faster, so we have at least three, or even four to five days, to prepare.” “Mr. Parker, you are wise and resourceful; do you have any solutions?” Luo Qianqiu asked puzzledly. “There’s no solution. In this world, absolute power trumps all strategies; no matter how clever or treacherous plans may be, they are ineffective against absolute strength!” “Then what should we do?” “How do we deal with this?” “Our Longevity Empire can’t just hand it over to someone else, can it?” “Why don’t we fight him? Even if we can’t kill him, we can wipe out all his subordinates!” “Yes, if worst comes to worst, we fight!” All the ministers pumped themselves up; they are all Yusuf Zuck’s slaves, both slaves and absolutely loyal subjects. “Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?” Parker Berger suddenly asked at this time. Yusuf Zuck appeared troubled; in truth, having been the king for these past few days, he has faintly sensed the majesty of heaven and earth, felt a sort of mysterious force being injected into his body. However, that force is still too little to support him in breaking through to Monarch level. Therefore, if he is replaced, all his efforts thus far will have been in vain.

Although he can turn Invisible, it only allows him to hide; he cannot kill the senior Tree Spirit of the Immortality level. “Unless… I open more Blood Beads!” Yusuf Zuck raised his eyebrows; if he could open another three to five Blood Beads, perhaps defeating an Immortality level expert wouldn’t be impossible. Yet, how incredibly difficult it is to open three to five Blood Beads? Where would he find three to five Sources of the Universe? Yusuf Zuck smiled bitterly, glanced at Parker Berger, and said, “I have no solutions; it looks like we’ll have to resort to guerrilla warfare when the time comes!” “That’s unsuitable,” Parker Berger shook his head, “If they attack your palace, how can you conduct guerrilla warfare? We must find a way to stop him from coming!” “But I really have no solutions,” Yusuf Zuck spread his hands. “Your Majesty, I have an idea, though I don’t know if I should share it?” At this moment, Luo Qianqiu’s eyes brightened, taking a step to the palace center. “What do you mean, share it or not? Just say it!” Yusuf Zuck cursed. “My idea is that we issue a public announcement to all the citizens!” Luo Qianqiu whispered, “And in this announcement, we present a universal celebration, but why celebrate? Because the upcoming Heavenly Immortal level is our Longevity Empire’s person. You could claim it is an elder, his son, or someone else.” “Once this false news is released, the senior Tree Spirit will be apprehensive, unless the Immortality level expert appears or stands out voluntarily; otherwise, the senior Tree Spirit may not dare to come because he knows his arrival would be fruitless!” “Of course, this is very risky, because we might offend the person who is to become an Immortality level expert, and if he comes to confront us, or if other news circulates, the senior Tree Spirit will still come. So, my suggestion is merely to temporarily hold off the senior Tree Spirit!” “That’s not feasible; Luo Qianqiu’s strategy is absolutely inadvisable; one senior Tree Spirit is already troublesome enough, how can we provoke another Immortality level expert?” “Exactly, if we offend two, then our Longevity Empire is truly doomed!” “Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable; don’t heed Luo Qianqiu’s nonsense!” “Yes, Your Majesty, we should remain low-key…” Nearly half of the senior ministers opposed Luo Qianqiu’s suggestion, fearing that offending two Immortality level experts with this strategy would only lead to the Empire’s faster demise. “Low-key? I never intended to be low-key! Luo Qianqiu’s plan is brilliant! Why didn’t I think of it?” Yusuf Zuck exclaimed as he slapped his thigh, “Brilliant, brilliant, we’ll release the news in three days, and once the senior Tree Spirit receives it, he won’t dare come.” “This gives us more breathing room!” “Then what if the person who just became an Immortality level expert comes to confront us?” Parker Berger countered. “One sheep, two sheep—it makes no difference; if I fear this and that, then I shouldn’t be king at all!” Yusuf Zuck declared loudly, “From the day our Longevity Empire was founded, we never planned to be low-key, nor did we plan to reconcile with everyone—but to conquer and flatten!” “So we’ll follow Luo Qianqiu’s suggestion; three days later, when the Heavenly Sound disappears, release the news, and in the public announcement, state that we are relocating the capital—right now!” “Your Majesty, please think twice; we’ve come a long way, it’s not easy for our Longevity Empire, and we cannot make more enemies…” “Your Majesty, reconsider!” Many senior ministers still opposed the plan, kneeling in plea. “Enough, no need to say more; my mind is set, and a gentleman’s word is his bond,” Yusuf Zuck asserted firmly. With a “buzz,” as he finished his sentence, a tremor suddenly came from above his head, and more Power of the Monarch poured into his soul, though it didn’t result in a breakthrough, he was close! The ministers were surprised; this is the benefit of being a king—becoming the monarch, the ethical ruler of the heavens and earth, they sense you and mysteriously reward you! “Ha ha ha, this is a monarch!” Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily; if his words didn’t count, if his thoughts were swayed by others, how could he reap such great rewards? A monarch is not swayed by others! “Congratulations, Your Majesty!” The ministers simultaneously knelt in congratulations. “Alright, carry out what I previously stated; Luo Qianqiu and Parker Berger will be responsible, I have other matters to attend—dismiss the court!” Yusuf Zuck said, and in an instant, vanished from the spot. He entered Blue Sea and Cloud Sky, then the Dante Stewart Stele, for he needs to absorb more Power of the Other Shore, and he also needs to enter the Gate of Destiny again to see if there are any laws he can learn to face the upcoming crisis! After all, his Longevity Empire is truly beginning to tremble; without an Immortality level expert’s presence, inevitably it will be destroyed, sooner or later! Thus seeking help from others isn’t as good as relying on himself; as long as he grows stronger, everything will be resolved easily. Moreover, he faintly perceives that within the Dante Stewart Stele, the Gate of Destiny and Door of the Other Shore may harbor other secrets—he simply hasn’t discovered them yet.
