Devouring the Starry Sky: You will become stronger through practice

"Abyss, help me!"

Seeing the door of the box closing, Di Chuyu, who had been showing off in front of his friends, suddenly changed his attitude and grabbed Luo Shen's right hand: "If even you don't help me, I really don't know who I can trust!"

"Um!??"

Luo Shen's mind was full of question marks. Looking at Di Chuyu's performance, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Why is your highness like this?"

Luo Shen tried to break free from Di Chuyu's hand, but Di Chuyu was like a drowning man, trying to grab any straw to save his life. No matter what Luo Shen did, he couldn't break free. He simply gave up and looked at Di Chuyu and asked, "Your Highness is now one of the candidates for the Emperor's son. Maybe in the future you will become a Divine King and succeed the Ancient Emperor. How can my little ability help Your Highness?"

Although he failed to break free from Di Chuyu, Luo Shen was still not careless. Who knows how deep the water is here.

Especially when Di Chuyu's behavior before and after was so strange.

Di Chuyu sighed and said, "Your Highness, what kind of Your Highness am I? Now in the imperial capital, a large number of officials are on the side of my brother Di Chuxiong. In addition, he had a strange encounter before, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Now, not only his power, but also his strength has far surpassed us."

Di Chuyu could never have imagined that in the short time he had been traveling on the mainland, the other party had grown to such an extent.

Luo Shen didn't quite understand: "You are His Highness, and the Lord of Chaos. Even if you don't inherit the throne of the Ancient Emperor, your life will not be in danger. At most, you can just leave this imperial city. He can't kill you, right?"

After all, the ancient country of Yanfeng has existed for such a long time, and its thirteen branches have always been stable. No matter which branch's prince becomes the ancient emperor, he will not take action against other branches that are the backbone of the country.

Otherwise, the ancient country of Yanfeng would not have existed for so many years.

"If it was any other prince who ascended the throne of the Ancient Emperor, I would feel a little regretful, but I wouldn't be so worried."

Di Chuyu sighed, sat down on the chair next to him, and introduced his good brother to Luo Shen: "Di Chuxiong is a genius from one of the stronger branches among the thirteen branches. He is full of talent and has the support of the power of the entire branch. Naturally, he became the first prince in this imperial capital to become the Lord of Chaos."

In order to catch up with his brother, Di Chuyu chose to stay away from the imperial capital and travel outside to find a way to break through.

He thought that he had broken through to the level of Chaos Lord outside, and with the help of his own branch, he would be able to compete with the enemy.

But who would have thought, no one knew what extraordinary opportunity Emperor Chuxiong had gained in recent years, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and three hundred centuries ago he even defeated a long-established Chaos Lord who had been famous in the imperial capital in a one-on-one match. And it wasn't that the opponent was letting him win, because the veteran Lord even used his famous skills, but still couldn't withstand the opponent's powerful punch.

That devastating punch, even though it was only recorded in his eyes, still made Di Chuyu tremble.

That was definitely not a punch he could withstand!
"The branch of Emperor Chuxiong was already strong, and a genius like Emperor Chuxiong emerged. His power was so great that no other prince could compete with him."

"If that's all, it's not so bad. After all, if the entire Yanfeng Ancient Country can be led by such a strong ruler, maybe it can recreate the glory of the ancestors in the past, sweep across the world, and unify the entire Origin Continent."

Di Chuyu's voice was a little low.

Obviously, some unexpected events happened later, which caused this genius, who was full of vigor and vitality not long ago, to become so depressed at this moment.

"In fact, when the ancient country was divided into thirteen branches, an ancestor once said that after a long period of unity, there must be division, and after a long period of division, there must be unity. In order to continue the ancient country, the division of thirteen branches is for the future of the entire ancient country. After all, if something happens to a single branch, it may lead to the destruction of the ancient country in the future."

"But the long-term division of branches has obvious disadvantages. Although the power of the entire ancient country is strong, it is divided into thirteen branches, and each branch has its own agenda."

Just like Di Chuyu and Di Chuxiong, each branch has outstanding talents, so it is natural that there will be awkwardness in certain things.

Just like the power of the emperor and the power of the prime minister in ancient Chinese dynasties.

Everyone hopes that the genius of their branch can perform better, become an Ancient Emperor, and contribute to the growth of their branch!

"Therefore, an ancestor proposed to merge the branches, like the ancient country of Thunder, to have a unified force to face the outside world, and the branch where Emperor Chuxiong is located is the leader among them." Emperor Chuyu sighed: "Among the thirteen branches, five branches support the merger, four branches oppose the merger, and four branches are neutral."

Hearing this, Luo Shen couldn't help but wonder: "Does your lineage object to this?"

After all, the supporting branches and the opposing branches have different opinions, and the conflicts between them are the deepest. It is normal for the geniuses of the opposing branches to suppress each other.

But Di Chuyu shook his head and said, "My branch is a neutral one."

"???"

Luo Shen was a little confused.

Logically speaking, no matter whether the branch supports or opposes the merger, they all stand on one side with a clear stand. They should all strive for the support of these neutral branches and strengthen their own strength.

Luo Shen raised his own questions.

Di Chuyu smiled bitterly and said, "This is under normal circumstances, but this is the ancient country of Yanfeng, an ancient country that has produced countless powerful people! For the branches that support and oppose it, they are all for a better future for the ancient country. After all, the branches that support the merger are confident that they can lead the ancient country to a new peak, while the opposing party is also worried that there is no suitable leader. A hasty merger is very likely to lead the ancient country astray."

"Although these neutral branches seem to choose not to help either side in order to prevent the ancient country from splitting, they are actually waiting for a higher price and want greater benefits!"

Hearing Di Chuyu's words, Luo Shen couldn't help but look at Di Chuyu.

He himself is also a strong man from the neutral branch, and I didn't expect that he would diss so rudely.

"Although I come from a neutral branch and enjoy the support of the branch's resources, I have always been against this practice. After all, for the ancient country, the long-term division of the branch may make the ancient country look prosperous at first glance, but in fact it is a mess inside."

Di Chuyu said seriously.

Luo Shen nodded.

Luo Shen still agrees with this point. Just like the difference between Western countries and China, the vast territory of 960 million square kilometers is united, while the small area of ​​Western countries is divided into so many countries, and even the land area and total population of some of these countries are not as large as a village in China.

The main reason is that China had already achieved unification during the Qin Dynasty, implanting the gene of unification into China's body!
"So, whether it's the branch that supports the merger or the branch that opposes the merger, they are all on guard against us, the neutral branch, and even hostile to us."

Di Chuyu shook his head and said, "In fact, at the beginning, although there were some disagreements between the parties, there was no real intention to split into independent branches. However, as Di Chuxiong grew up day by day, he gradually showed his talent and his performance became more and more dazzling in recent years. Many ministers in the ancient country began to join his camp, including some who were once neutral. The several major branches that supported the merger seemed to have found their backbone, and when they talked to us neutral branches, they gradually became stronger."

One side is strong, the other side is weak.

The days of the neutral branch naturally became difficult, especially the branch that opposed the merger was still adding insult to injury, which exacerbated the situation. Luo Shen heard about this and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Although I really want to empathize with you, but when I think about how you are a major branch of the Yanfeng Ancient Country, and how you have stood at the end of so many people since you were born, I really can't empathize with you."

"Besides, I am a newly promoted Chaos Lord. It is more reliable to expect me to break through to the level of God King in the next epoch than to expect me to help you resolve these crises."

Not to mention how strong Luo Shen is now.

What Di Chuyu said before, no matter what his purpose was, helping him ascend to the throne of the Ancient Emperor, or resolving Di Chuxiong's prejudice against the neutral branches, or even helping him leave the imperial capital safely, which seemed to be a much simpler purpose, was actually impossible to achieve for any Chaos Lord.

Not to mention the Lord of Chaos, even a God King might not be able to achieve it.

What is this place?

The ancient country of Yanfeng, the imperial capital, is home to countless powerful men. Even when the king of Yu was at the peak of his powers, even when the five God Kings of Shi were present in person, it was nothing. Even the powerful God Kings had to walk with their heads down here.

Moreover, the contrast between Di Chuyu before and after this meeting made Luo Shen feel weird.

Didn't he know that these things were beyond his reach as a Chaos Lord? But if he knew, why did he bring it up?

This complex contradiction made Luo Shen unable to figure out Di Chuyu's bottom line for a while, so he directly pointed out the matter and told the other party that this matter could not be done.

"No, you can!"

However, facing Luo Shen's direct play, Di Chuyu smiled and said, "Of course I know that you can't stop the thirteen branches from merging or not merging, and you are not even qualified to help me ascend to the throne of the Ancient Emperor."

Obviously, although Di Chuyu's strength has improved, he still needs to learn the art of speaking.

What does it mean to be unqualified?
Even if he really is not qualified, he can't point it out so directly. He should at least give Luo Shen some face.

However, as a prince of the ancient country of Yanfeng, Di Chuyu was born as a super genius from a direct lineage and had always been accustomed to a life of being the center of attention. Although he had traveled around the continent before, he did so under the name of Yanfeng Guild and was protected by the Lord of Chaos. Naturally, he could not learn the art of speaking.

But fortunately, Luo Shen doesn't care much about these.

In fact, when he first met him at Yanfeng Club, Luo Shen had already witnessed his linguistic charm.

However, the conversation was not so in-depth at the beginning, and it was mainly due to the treasures and resources given by the other party. Not to mention the charm of language, even if the other party farted, Luo Shen would praise the fart as fragrant.

"With my current strength and the connections around me, it is definitely not enough to change the situation of my lineage."

Di Chuyu spoke again.

After all, compared to Di Chuxiong, Di Chuyu was not only born later, but his cultivation talent was not much stronger than the other party. More importantly, the improvement that the other party had gained from opportunities over the years was greater than his breakthrough from the Eternal True God to the Lord of Chaos.

Therefore, Di Chuyu knew that the only way to reverse this situation was to make himself stronger than Di Chuxiong!

"Only if I am stronger than Di Chuxiong, will the ministers in the imperial capital change their ways and become my disciples. After all, I am younger than Di Chuxiong!"

It can be seen that Di Chuyu is quite clear about the gap between himself and Di Chuxiong, and is not one of those who are too enthusiastic.

"But what kind of opportunity can allow you to surpass the other party in such a short time?"

Luo Shen couldn't help but ask.

The Lord of Chaos is not an eternal true god. With the help of a legion of secret treasures, or with the help of some super treasure, he can possess the combat power of the Lord of Chaos. Not to mention wanting to possess the combat power of the King of Gods, even if the Lord of Chaos wants to improve his attainments in secret techniques from the sixteenth level to the seventeenth level, it is definitely not an easy task.

Given the difficulty of improving strength and the hard-to-find opportunities, Luo Shen really couldn't think of any way the other party could achieve it.

It's impossible that an opportunity for inheritance comparable to climbing the ladder to heaven will suddenly appear from somewhere.

Thinking of this, Luo Shen couldn't help but shake his head secretly. If there were really so many top inheritances on the Origin Continent, Yuan wouldn't be the only one who became famous for his transcendence on the Origin Continent over the years.

But as if he had guessed Luo Shen's thoughts, Di Chuyu smiled and said, "If I didn't know, I certainly wouldn't ask you for help."

Luo Shen was stunned when he heard this: "Really?!"

His eyes moved back and forth over Di Chuyu, as if he was trying to determine whether the other party was deliberately lying to him or was just trying to use this method to persuade him to take action.

But Di Chuyu's eyes were very calm.

He said, "In fact, I am not the only one who knows about this opportunity. Many powerful people in the Origin Continent know about it, such as several rulers of the Food Nation and some of their Chaos Lords. They have actually entered it before, so the Food Nation was able to expand to this extent in such a short period of time."

Hearing Di Chuyu's gaze, Luo Shen suddenly remembered.

It seems that there is indeed such a place of inheritance. It is a secret realm. If the Lord of Chaos enters it, there is a high probability that he can break through to the realm of God King. Even if an ordinary Eternal True God enters it, there is a high possibility that he can break through to the realm of Chaos Lord.

This news was told to him by Marquis Liusha.

"I see. I have actually heard of this secret realm."

Luo Shen nodded, looked at Di Chuyu and asked, "So you just broke through to Chaos Lord not long ago, do you want to enter that secret realm, are you planning to take a gamble that you have the opportunity to break through to Divine King?"

I believe Di Chuyu is also well aware of the disadvantages of that secret realm.

“Of course, an ancestor of my lineage once entered it and discovered some hidden secrets. If I can dig out this secret, even if the opportunity behind it cannot allow me to break through to the level of a Divine King, it can greatly enhance my strength!”

Di Chuyu clenched his fists and said, "But I'm afraid I can't explore it completely by myself."

As he spoke, Di Chuyu looked at Luo Shen.

Therefore, this was the purpose of the other party's previous words, Luo Shen realized it belatedly. (End of this chapter)
