171: Disrespect for the elderly

Compared to other empires, the Meteor Empire was practically celebrating nationwide.

They had consecutively instantly killed two World Bosses, their luck value had doubled, and they had even acquired two large secret realms, bringing the entire nation's joy to a peak.

Especially since these individuals had obtained many treasures within the secret realm, including even divine inheritances, it filled them with anticipation for the second secret realm.

If the first secret realm's resources were so abundant, there was no need to even mention the second secret realm.

“Thank you, Lord Luo Jiuzhou!”

“May Lord Luo Jiuzhou protect our Meteor Empire.”

“Thank you, Lord Luo Jiuzhou!”

Everyone cupped their hands towards Lord Luo Jiuzhou, their eyes filled with respect.

A deafening roar of voices echoed, piercing the clouds.

Lord Luo Jiuzhou glanced at Su Bai in the crowd, a hint of awkwardness clearly flashing in his eyes.

He was essentially impersonating someone!

All this honor clearly belonged to Su Bai, yet it was forcibly attributed to him.

Su Bai, however, didn't seem to mind, secretly slipping back into the crowd, feigning an attitude of detachment.

“Old Su, where did you go? I’ve been looking for you for ages.”

“Didn’t you not participate in the National War?”

Sun Kai suddenly appeared, standing beside Su Bai, and whispered.

“No, I didn’t. Why are you out? Weren’t you leveling up in the secret realm? Did you finish leveling up so quickly?!”

Su Bai looked at Sun Kai and his wife, then nodded.

“I came out a while ago. I need to ask you for a favor.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Kai quickly pulled Su Bai aside.

“What is it?”

At these words, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Bai’s eyes.

Come to think of it, Sun Kai rarely asked him for favors.

“I’m about to reach Seven Transformations. I accepted a quest in this secret realm, but I’m afraid I can’t do it alone, so I wanted you to come along.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Kai quickly said.

“Doing a quest, no problem. What quest?”

At these words, Su Bai immediately nodded.

“A quest about a divine emissary.”

“I heard many people received this quest, and many are competing for this divine emissary spot.”

Sun Kai took out a token and said softly.

“Hmm?”

“This…”

At these words, Su Bai instantly felt his scalp tingle, and a chill ran down his spine.

If things were truly as Sun Kai said, he seemed to have gotten himself into big trouble!

These gods were seeking divine emissaries to spread their teachings and gain followers.

“Wait a moment, this matter isn’t as simple as you think. While becoming a divine emissary has certain benefits, it will limit your future path.”

“Give me this item, and I’ll go discuss it with His Majesty.”

Su Bai originally didn’t want to get involved in this matter. Human nature is greedy, and cutting off someone’s path to wealth could provoke public outrage.

Even if it didn't cause public outrage, he couldn't stop so many people from becoming divine emissaries.

However, he found that something was amiss. This item should have been a contingency plan laid out by the gods during the National War.

No matter who won the National War, a large number of divine emissaries would appear in that country, which would definitely be a good thing for the gods.

“Uh, I’m a little confused.”

Hearing this, Sun Kai couldn't help but be stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“Don’t worry about it for now. Go back and wait for news.”

Su Bai took the token and turned to walk into the central tent.

“Prince Who Rivals the Emperor?”

“How has your leveling up progressed?”

Upon seeing the Prince Who Rivals the Emperor, the Meteor Emperor quickly spoke.

“Your Majesty, there are some matters I need to discuss with you. I hope you can dismiss those around us.”

Su Bai looked at the Nine Revolutions experts in front of him and said coldly.

“What are you? You think you’re worthy of telling me to leave?”

“Exactly, when I was spilling my blood for the entire Meteor Empire, you had no idea where you were.”

“What are you? You think you’re worthy of telling me to leave?”

Hearing this, those experts all frowned and shouted.

“Who’s spouting nonsense over there? Believe it or not, I’ll tear his mouth off!”

Lord Luo Jiuzhou stepped forward directly, a hint of coldness in his eyes, and his aura directly spread out, enveloping everyone.

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions subtly changed.

They hadn't expected this young man to be related to Lord Luo Jiuzhou, which truly felt incredible.

“Everyone, allow me to introduce you. This is our Meteor Empire’s One-Word Shoulder-to-Shoulder King, the Meteor Empire’s number one prodigy.”

Jiang Lin and Sun Shan, who were standing nearby, stepped forward and quickly stood beside Su Bai.

And those experts from the academies also stood behind Su Bai.

This scene astonished the Nine Revolutions experts who had returned from the starry sky.

They had never imagined that a junior they had casually reprimanded would have such terrifying backing.

“Everyone, let’s not hurt our camaraderie.”

“Everyone is considering the Meteor Empire. I’m mainly worried that this matter will lead to negative consequences, which is why I asked you to leave beforehand.”

“If you want to hear it, I don’t need to hide anything.”

“However, after hearing it, don’t blame me if anything happens.”

Su Bai looked at these individuals and said softly.

He didn't think these gods were good things. Since they had gotten involved in this National War, it indicated that they had more than just this one trick up their sleeve. These gods likely had other hidden moves.

“This old man has roamed the starry sky for thousands of years. What kind of situation haven’t I seen? Do you think I’m afraid?”

“Exactly, this old man is a Nine Revolutions, level 800. Among the many empires, I am a renowned expert. Would I be afraid of such a thing?”

“You young man, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t beat around the bush.”

Many experts snorted, a hint of pride in their eyes.

“You’re all this old and still haven’t broken through to godhood. How useless are you?”

“And you, roaming the starry sky for thousands of years, spending most of your time wandering aimlessly in the intermediate Demon Abyss. Do you think I don’t know?”

“And you all, don’t be so arrogant. My little brother respects you, which is why he calls you seniors. If he didn’t, you wouldn’t even be worth a damn.”

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Lord Luo Jiuzhou directly retorted angrily.

At these words, everyone’s expressions subtly changed, and a hint of anger showed in their eyes.

Unfortunately, these individuals could only grumble privately and dared not confront Lord Luo Jiuzhou.

He was a high and mighty demigod. If they were to fight, they would be the ones to suffer.

“Dean Luo Jiuzhou, there’s no need to bicker with them. Since they want to listen, let them listen here. Anyway, don’t blame me if they regret it later.”

Su Bai took out the token and placed it in front of the Meteor Emperor.
