Chapter 1880: Chapter 1899: What Does It Mean to Be Human? If trust and reliability were to be ranked, Parker Berger was first in Yusuf Zuck’s heart; this vampire who had followed him since childhood had never changed over all these years. Although it had been many years since they last met, Yusuf knew Parker was using his own life to guard his loyalty to him. No matter how many ministers consumed his Mind Control Pill and showed immense loyalty, none surpassed Parker. Of course, Parker wasn’t here to reminisce today; he brought Sha Dian Guang with him largely because he’d convinced him to side with the Longevity Empire! Indeed, this is the gift Parker brought for Yusuf; it’s also one reason why Parker is considering for his master. “Our Qitian Pavilion has seven peerless Daoist monarchs, over seventy other Daoist monarchs, and many other masters within the pavilion. The pavilion has businesses in the Transient City and many cities within the Nine Domains, and now, I lead everything to pledge allegiance to His Majesty of Longevity, sharing honor and loss alike in the future!” This was Sha Dian Guang’s pledge of allegiance, and he had only one request: that Yusuf leads them to Qiling Sky! Indeed, this was the sole request. Check latest chapters at novᴇlfire.net Regarding the news of Qiling Sky, Yusuf had just received it himself, but he didn’t pay much mind to it, as he had battles to fight and a capital to move, thus he wasn’t keen on any expedition, especially since he couldn’t leave! Hence, when Sha Dian Guang made this request, Yusuf frowned and said, “I can’t leave, how can I take you there? But if you intend to go, I can assign Bridger Doyle, Luke Gardner, and others to accompany you, forming a powerful team which will make it safer for you!” Sha Dian Guang wanted Yusuf to accompany them to Qiling Sky for safety reasons, given Qitian Pavilion only had seven masters, which was hardly sufficient in the current Transit Realm. One must understand that numerous people heading to Qiling Sky are masters, so if the seven were thrown in, it wouldn’t stir much interest. Even if they acquired the supposed elemental spirits, they might not secure them. However, if accompanied by Gabriel Freeman, things would be different, as Freeman could rival someone of the Longevity Realm, peerless Daoist monarchs would be utterly thrashed, and with Freeman, they’d be much safer. Additionally, the allure of the Longevity Realm is immense for them. “Master, is your Blue Sea and Cloud Sky still around?” As Yusuf remarked on his inability to leave, Parker suddenly posed this question. “Yes, why?” Yusuf queried in surprise. “Then why not pack everyone into Blue Sea and Cloud Sky? Even for relocating the capital, you could transport them all in one go; why all this lengthy travel?” “Uh…” Yusuf was taken aback by Parker’s question; indeed, why take such long journeys when he could carry everyone himself and deploy the army wherever he went without the need for arduous traveling? “No, no, you’re mistaken!” Yusuf hesitated for a while before waving his hand and saying, “I bring the army forward to make everyone in the Transit Realm aware of it, to capture their attention and create both a psychological and demonstrative pressure!” “Moreover, an empire isn’t built on one person. Should I achieve everything by myself, why would we need an empire? An empire requires frameworks, ideologies, various rules, and regulations, otherwise how can it be called an empire?” Parker Berger stepped forward and nodded, “That’s correct, a country’s establishment rests on law, labor, and the natural order, not on individual Divine Skills. Thus everything must proceed in the proper manner; otherwise, should the Transit Realm one day be unified, the monarch might not experience a monarch’s presence!” “Master, regardless, I believe you must go to Qiling Sky; it contains elemental spirits so you could achieve a Daoist monarch but still not be of the Longevity Realm, so forward planning is necessary!” Parker said urgently. “Then what about this big family of mine? There are billions who need me!” Yusuf seriously questioned him. “I don’t know, I have no solution, you don’t use the ones I have!” Parker expressed helplessly. “Luke Gardner, what do you suggest?” Yusuf turned to the treacherous minister Luke Gardner. Luke immediately stepped forward, “I believe Mr. Parker is correct; you must go, as you should plan for the Longevity Realm lest others achieve longevity, and you’re still a mere Daoist monarch. Only your longevity could match your status as a monarch of longevity!” “As for our empire’s troops and relatives… I believe resting and recuperating here is also decent!” Luke Gardner had intentions to go and thus tried persuading Yusuf to go. “Minister Berger, what do you say?” Yusuf turned to Parker Berger and asked. “Mr. Parker and Minister Gardner are correct. Going would have its benefits, but King might just leave and someone might come to reap the rewards!” Berger sighed, “Should a Longevity Realm expert or a Snow Mountain Domain’s Cheryl Mills come, they’d seize all our armies, annihilating the Longevity Empire!” “Even if Cheryl didn’t show up, others of the Longevity Realm could arrive, dooming our Longevity Empire, hence the choice rests with Your Majesty alone!” Parker Berger’s words were accurate; everyone fell silent as the decision relied on Gabriel Freeman himself! However, Yusuf suddenly laughed and shook his head, “My choice is to protect my people, protect my empire. With so many followers and family trusting me, accompanying me for the migration, how could I abandon them?” “A person sacrificing relatives, brothers, and friends for their longevity is unworthy of humanity. Humanity is defined by emotion, not cold-bloodedness, not beastliness. Thus my decision is you all go, I stay, allowing all peerless Daoist monarchs to go, showing sincerity to Qitian Pavilion’s loyalty, granting opportunities to you ministers!” After Yusuf finished speaking, the hall was pin-drop silent, moved by his words, especially Sha Dian Guang who knelt before Yusuf, knocking three times. This monarch’s love for his people justified the allegiance, for he’s reliable! Yusuf smiled, stood up, and said, “Alright, we’ll do as I say. You prepare to depart with the nobles of Qitian Pavilion.” However, just then, as Yusuf’s sentence tapered off, suddenly laughter resonated in the grand hall! This sound wasn’t from the hall but from above the city outside, resonating musically, clearly the laugh of a girl! Just as all faces displayed bewilderment, suddenly a brush transformed into Escaping Light and flew into the hall! “Not good, it’s the Longevity Realm’s pen spirit, protect the king!” Upon seeing the pen spirit fly in, all ministers were alarmed!
