Capítulo 1856: Chapter 1875: Just Like That, Became King? “What? Waylon Gardner isn’t in the Longevity Realm? Is this false news?” When the Water Goddess returned and relayed the news she heard to the old Tree Spirit, his eyes nearly bulged out of his head with anger, his entire body trembling with rage! “Good, good, good, Gabriel Freeman Yusuf Zuck, today I’ll kill you again, ahaha!” Upon hearing there was no Longevity Realm, the old entity didn’t fear anything anymore. Instead, he roared arrogantly and marched directly towards Dragon City, not caring about anyone else. Without the Longevity Realm, what was there to fear, damn it? Without it, the Longevity Empire would be as easy to grasp as reaching out to grab something. While flying, he could imagine it: arriving at the Longevity Empire, first killing Gabriel Freeman Yusuf Zuck, humiliating him thoroughly, and then letting everyone submit, kneeling at his feet and calling him king. He claimed longevity, thus he was the true Longevity King. The celestial music continued in the sky, and midway, he and the other main gods encountered a large group flying north, bearing the Dragon Flag representing the Longevity Empire. The old Tree Spirit only wanted to be king now, so he disdained indulging in such trifles and continued on his way! After a day, Dragon City arrived. Dragon City was orderly now, first because Parker Berger governed it well, and second because after the Longevity Empire became strong, Dragon City’s divine citizens automatically submitted. Dragon City had just experienced a heavy rain, and when the old Longevity Tree Spirit arrived, it was just at dawn, making the city appear very clear. The streets were clean and immaculate, radiating vitality and prosperity. As soon as the old Tree Spirit arrived, he directly made his presence known, hovering over Dragon City, his body emanating green light. Being a Tree Spirit in the Longevity Realm, his green light was full of vitality and could also absorb other things’ vitality! As the green light appeared, everyone in Dragon City saw it and began stepping outside their homes, looking up at him! Many didn’t recognize him, after all, he wasn’t notably famous before, not considered a significant figure. However, when his green light appeared, everyone could feel his immense power, as bright as the heavens and earth, as lasting as the sun and moon. All the old ministers in Dragon City, even Parker Berger and Waylon Gardner, were startled and jumped out of their rooms, gazing upward in shock, their faces pale! The experts still sensed the realm of the old Longevity Tree Spirit and immediately guessed it was him. Seeing the drastic change in expression below, the old Tree Spirit felt somewhat smug, finally making his debut, letting everyone take notice, letting everyone feel fear! The feeling was wonderful; this was truly what he wanted, what he yearned for. To be honest, being admired by thousands felt incredible. “This seat, Alliance Hierarch of the Twilight of the Gods, the old man of longevity, where is Gabriel Freeman Yusuf Zuck? My old friend, why hasn’t he shown himself to greet me?” The old Tree Spirit was extremely smug; he knew Yusuf Zuck well, having killed him himself back then. Though he didn’t know how Yusuf became alive again, none of that mattered now, as he could kill him once more! “How about it, you legendary Yusuf Zuck, renowned Yusuf Zuck, also prefers to hide like a turtle?” As divine music prevented using Divine Consciousness, he couldn’t probe the city’s specifics, relying solely on vision! So, since Yusuf didn’t jump out immediately, he smirked coldly, using provocation! “Very well, very well, you won’t come out? Then I’ll come in, hahaha. Today I don’t want to kill; I only want to replace you as the Longevity King, hahaha. People of Dragon City, listen up, from now on, your king is me, the old man of longevity!” After speaking, he intended to destroy Dragon City’s Formation! “Please wait, please wait!” Suddenly, Parker Berger jumped into the air, bowing repeatedly. Newest update provided by novèlfire.net “Who are you? Where’s your cowardly king? Why hasn’t he come out? Did he run away out of fear?” The old Tree Spirit asked coldly. “There’s something senior doesn’t know. Four days ago, our king disappeared. After our morning meeting, he vanished, with no trace or news. We haven’t attended our morning meeting for four days, nor have we seen him!” “Oh? Disappeared? Is what you say true?” The old Tree Spirit asked skeptically. “If you don’t believe me, ask the other ministers,” Parker pointed at the other approaching old ministers. “Parker Berger, how dare you?” “You’ve colluded with the enemy!” “Why reveal the king’s disappearance to the enemy? Does this justify the trust the king has placed in you?” The other ministers angrily shouted at Parker Berger, ignorant of the secret plotting between Parker Berger and Yusuf Zuck one day prior. “Hmm? Did he really run away? He’s quite the cunning fellow!” The old Tree Spirit smirked coldly, “Then, open the Formation and let me in!” “We vow to defend the Royal City, unless it’s over our dead bodies…” With Luke Gardner taking the lead, they shouted vigorously, truly loyal. “Everyone, everyone, don’t, don’t, the king has run away, why remain loyal? Everyone, follow me, we welcome the senior longevity spirit to reside in our Longevity Empire!” Parker urged, signaling Luke Gardner with a wink! Seeing Parker wink, Luke Gardner, a traitorous minister, grasped that there was more to the tale, his eyes darting: “The king really ran away?” “Absolutely!” Parker nodded. “Then forget it…” Luke Gardner took a deep breath: “The king has run away, so let’s welcome the new king.” “Uh…” The other old ministers exchanged glances, momentarily unsure, knowing that Luke Gardner and Parker were the king’s closest confidants, also the two chief ministers. Yet now, both chief ministers were about to capitulate; what was happening? Could the king have some other plan? “Hahaha.” The old Tree Spirit, overjoyed, didn’t care if they genuinely surrendered or not; he only wanted to be Longevity King, killing whoever didn’t submit! “Open the Formation, unless you want me to smash it myself?” The old Tree Spirit shouted. “I’ll open it, I’ll open it!” Waylon Gardner stepped forward, fearing the old Tree Spirit would use him as a target, thus choosing to open the Formation first. Without any hindrance, the Formation was unlocked, the old Tree Spirit suspicious but confident, stepping inside in one stride! No surprises! No attacks, no ambushes, seemingly Yusuf Zuck indeed ran away, and these people truly surrendered! “Greetings, senior…” Parker Berger led, everyone bowing to the old Tree Spirit! The old Tree Spirit blinked, smirking coldly: “I don’t care if you’re sincere or pretending, now I’ll go to the royal palace to occupy the throne, and you must… no, must draw up a proclamation to the people declaring me as king of the Longevity Empire, and your willing endorsement. How does that sound?” “Yes, I’ll draft it, but I have requirements as a minister!” Parker Berger knew too smooth and obedient behavior might raise the old Tree Spirit’s suspicion, so he had to add conditions. “What requirements?” The old Tree Spirit indeed inquired. “As a minister, I still wish to be chief minister, and you assure no harm to us, this way we’ll willingly serve you!” “Still an official seeker, huh? Hahaha!” The old Tree Spirit laughed: “As long as you obey, why would I kill you? Besides, I have ways to ensure your loyalty. Now, head to the royal palace!” After speaking, he stepped ahead into the palace!
