132: Random Secret Realm
“He reached the ninety-ninth floor in just over two hours. What kind of monster is he? All his pauses were to feed his Imperial Beast!”
“He spent at least twenty minutes feeding his Imperial Beast. If you factor that in, the actual time he took was less than two hours!”
As soon as this news broke, let alone Li Zhantian, even the waiters serving tea and water nearby understood its significance.
Everyone looked at Lin Wu with shocked eyes.
Such a Heaven-Defying performance made everyone come to the same conclusion.
That is, this kid... will surely rule the entire Milky Way Galaxy in the future!
He might even surpass the Galaxy King!
Suddenly, a high-ranking military official lowered his voice and spoke with Mental Energy:
“If I'm not mistaken, the previous Galaxy King, from the Original Wu Civilization, once said that if someone could reach the ninety-ninth floor of the Trial Tower in two hours, that person would be the strongest Genius of our Galaxy Empire!”
“He would be a Super Genius capable of leading the Human Race out of the Milky Way Galaxy!”
“He might even...”
“Be the one to replace him!”
The person who heard this was Li Zhantian. His heart trembled, and he quickly replied with Mental Energy:
“Don't say such treasonous things. We are all subordinates of the Galaxy King, and it is thanks to his grace that we are where we are today. Don't be so crazy!”
“Do you really only want to be a small Governor?”
“You're only over six hundred years old. The current Galaxy King is already over three thousand years old. Everyone knows your Realm can surpass his. All the brothers are counting on you!”
“I've said it, I will never consider such a thing. Don't plunge our entire Milky Way Galaxy into chaos!”
“Big Brother, do you really only want to be a Governor, taking orders from others your whole life? I refuse!”
The speaker was Li Zhantian's personal legion commander, a good friend and capable subordinate who had joined Li Zhantian's ranks over five hundred years ago.
The two were both good friends and superior/subordinate, so their bond was very deep.
Over five hundred years, they had escaped death countless times, forging an incredibly strong bond.
His name was Wu Sa. With red skin and the strongest combat physique in the entire Human Race, he stood over four meters tall.
As a true combat Race, his personality was the most stubborn and aggressive.
Li Zhantian, on the other hand, was more steady and thoughtful in his actions.
“I told you, don't say such treasonous things again. Don't bring us danger!”
“Big Brother, ever since you took this position, when has the Galaxy King ever sent you to battle? He clearly wants to let you waste away, to become a stable person. He wants to smooth out Big Brother's edges!”
“He wants you to be a peaceful prince, and when the time is right, he'll eliminate you. Big Brother, I don't believe you don't see through it!”
Li Zhantian was speechless.
He had understood it clearly in his heart for years.
The Galaxy King appeared amiable on the surface, but how many people who could sit on the throne were truly kind?
“Big Brother, sometimes you are too benevolent. You think he won't do anything to you, but think carefully: your achievements overshadow your lord!”
“You've achieved glorious military feats, and there's no higher title left to bestow. You are the headquarters of the Left Spiral Arm, one of the most prosperous regions in the entire Milky Way Galaxy!”
It wasn't just Wu Sa; more and more Mental Energy was projected, and everyone keenly sensed this change.
The fastest to project Mental Energy were Li Zhantian's subordinates, including civil and military officials, all of whom had followed him for hundreds of years!
They had long established deep friendships and extremely strong trust.
Not only that!
One could say their bond was one of life and death!
Going through fire and water for each other was a small matter!
“Big Brother!”
Another voice came through, also from one of his personal legion commanders.
“Big Brother, your disciple is truly too powerful. No one can forget that prophecy!”
“The Galaxy King is probably already suspicious at this point. We cannot just sit back and do nothing!”
Before Li Zhantian could reply, several more Mental Energy projections came through.
The source of these Mental Energy projections made Li Zhantian's heart pound, and cold sweat almost dripped from his forehead.
“Brother Li, I support you!”
The speaker was also a Governor!
“I support you too.”
“Brother Li, you were already capable of surpassing the Galaxy King, and this even drew the Galaxy King's suspicion, leading to more and more restrictions on you. We are already in a fiery pit.”
“Don't you understand the Galaxy King's intentions? We can't just sit back and do nothing!”
“And your disciple, whether you admit it or not, your good relationship is recognized throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, and his strength is even above yours. How can that old bird not be suspicious?”
More and more Mental Energy was projected.
Li Zhantian gradually felt a bit breathless. He hadn't expected so many people to want to push him forward!
If this news were to be exposed, it would be a death sentence among death sentences!
However!
As a Governor, he quickly calmed himself down.
Now he was being roasted over a fire.
Recalling the Galaxy King's actions over the years.
Li Zhantian sighed in his heart.
If such a thing really happened, his brothers would all be out of luck.
“Enough, you don't need to say anything more. I have my own considerations!”
Li Zhantian only gave this ambiguous answer.
In this short period of time.
He had undergone a drastic change in thinking!
Now that the die was cast, it would be difficult for him not to do something.
The entire Universe seemed to be pushing him forward.
If he paused, he would probably face destruction.
Li Zhantian looked at Lin Wu with a complex expression.
“Little Lin, your timing is truly perfect...”
...Galaxy King's Palace.
The current Galaxy King's expression was complex. He looked at the light screen, a sense of shock welling up in his heart.
“Reaching the ninety-ninth floor in two hours, what kind of monster is Lin Wu? Is it really that easy for Cultivation Geniuses to appear on Blue Star?”
The Galaxy King was now over three thousand years old, and his Realm was difficult to improve further, largely locked at his current level.
He was deeply worried... first Li Zhantian, then Lin Wu.
These two made him increasingly wary and fearful.
If before he was merely glad that his Galaxy Kingdom had gained two more great talents!
Although there was a certain threat, he could restrict them using various methods.
Now, with an even more troublesome figure than Li Zhantian, he had no choice but to consider some new approaches.
The Galactic Grand Duke next to him had the same expression.
As the Galaxy King's brother, he naturally knew what his brother was thinking.
“Brother, are you thinking...?”
The Galaxy King nodded, his expression filled with melancholy.
He had been constantly considering whether or not to do such a thing.
“Brother, I think we shouldn't rush. The ninety-ninth floor has multiple random Secret Realms. Let's confirm Lin Wu's strength again!”
