Chapter 240 The Possibility Of Conspiracy, The World’S Strongest Man Personally Protects It!
"Soaring Dragon University's principal? A demi-god powerhouse? The heir to the empire?"
Even though Chen Yu had been warned in advance that this was a big shot, he never expected it to be this outrageous.
Beyond the realm of demi-god powerhouses lies the True God Level.
The True God Level generally does not intervene in the Blue Star World, and they rarely appear there.
This is because their every move would cause immense destruction.
If two True Gods were to engage in battle on the Blue Star, it is estimated that halfway through, the entire Blue Star would be destroyed.
Furthermore, there is nothing on the Blue Star that would be of interest to True God-level powerhouses.
Within the Blue Star World, demi-gods are the true pinnacle.
There are a total of forty-two publicly recognized demi-god powerhouses in the Blue Star World.
Among them, seventeen belong to the Soaring Dragon Empire.
One of them is the Soaring Dragon Great Emperor, who holds a high position in the empire.
In reality, although the Soaring Dragon Empire has the position of emperor, it is not a hereditary system.
It is more of a symbol of status and power.
Each emperor's reign must last a minimum of 100 years and a maximum of 1000 years.
After the emperor abdicates, the new emperor is chosen from among the "heirs to the throne."
The "heirs to the throne" are not necessarily the previous emperor's offspring or a designated individual.
Instead, they are the strongest, most promising, and most distinguished individuals among the empire's powerhouses.
The number of "heirs to the throne" is fixed at twelve.
After the emperor abdicates, the emperor and the twelve heirs to the throne vote to decide the succession.
In a world where power is paramount, the strong do not care much about authority; they prefer to pursue greater power.
Therefore, even though the emperor holds the highest real power in the empire, the "emperors" do not handle much of the affairs and often act as figureheads.
Perhaps the creators of the system had already anticipated this situation, and the lower levels of power are well-organized and can function independently for a long time without the emperor's involvement.
Even so, most powerhouses still believe that "government affairs" would hinder their progress and are unwilling to become emperor.
In the annals of the Soaring Dragon Empire, there have been many instances of a comical phenomenon:
Whenever the emperor has a legitimate reason to announce their retirement, some of the heirs to the throne either disappear for no reason or come up with various excuses to avoid responsibility.
The current principal of Soaring Dragon University, "Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan," is one such "heir to the throne."
Originally, she should have been the Soaring Dragon Great Emperor of this generation. When the previous Great Emperor abdicated, she received the most votes.
However, the next day, she disappeared, along with three other "heirs to the throne."
Helpless, the emperor and the remaining heirs had to hold a new vote and select a new emperor.
Furthermore, "Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan" was also the previous record holder in the college entrance examination ranking competition.
Yes, she was the one who scored a million points and possessed the talent of "hundredfold damage."
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is currently the strongest in the Blue Star World.
She is also the only one who, after ascending to demi-god status, has publicly killed another demi-god powerhouse of the same level.
Even before Chen Yu revealed his own talent, Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan was undoubtedly the number one genius in this world.
Even though Chen Yu is widely regarded as the most talented individual by the high-ranking members of the Soaring Dragon Empire, no one believes that his combat power at the same level would surpass that of Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan.
Even Chen Yu himself has to admit that, without using his trump cards, he might not be a match for Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan at the same level.
After all, the talent of hundredfold damage is too extraordinary.
The strongest conventional combat power under Chen Yu's command, Mo Yunteng and the Abyss Spirit, can easily defeat ordinary Rank Four professionals.
If Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan is also at Rank Two, she could probably slap them to death with a single palm.
"Why would Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan want to meet me alone?" Chen Yu couldn't help but ask.
This situation is no different from the head of state personally meeting a newly recruited junior staff member who passed the public recruitment exam.
Even if this junior staff member has an extraordinary background and gave outstanding answers, destined to become a pillar of the country in the future, it still doesn't make sense.
"Because of Leng Xiong," the gloomy loli replied.
"Leng Xiong?" Chen Yu was surprised.
He almost forgot about this name himself.
"Leng Xiong died in his own dormitory, appearing to be a suicide," the gloomy loli said.
"But the emergency experts at Soaring Dragon University believe that he was manipulated into committing suicide, and there is a conspiracy targeting you behind it."
"So they reported the matter."
"Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan happened to be in the Blue Star World and personally investigated."
"He found signs that Leng Xiong was indeed controlled, but even she couldn't determine the real culprit, indicating that this matter is very deep."
"Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan couldn't figure it out?!" Chen Yu suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Perhaps his performance in the ranking competition was indeed too high-profile.
To the point where certain unknown forces from the deep and shallow seas were trying to target him.
The purpose of Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan summoning him should be to personally intervene and protect him.
In that flower sea world, Emperor Monarch Hua Yuan most likely left some kind of means on him.
"You don't need to worry too much," the gloomy loli said lightly. "The better the other party hides, the more it shows that they are just some underworld figures who can't show their faces."
"At least in the Blue Star World, there is no force that dares to come out and openly wage war against our Soaring Dragon Empire."
"Then I can rest assured," Chen Yu nodded.
Chen Yu deeply felt the strength of the Soaring Dragon Empire.
This feeling comes from the contempt that the Soaring Dragon people have for "foreigners" in their genes.
In the minds of most Soaring Dragon people, apart from imperial citizens, everyone else is just barbarians and clowns.
A country where the majority of its citizens do not have a sense of crisis of being surpassed can only prove that this country is indeed incredibly strong.
...
After dispelling his doubts, Chen Yu bid farewell to the gloomy loli and walked into his own villa.
Lin Ruoyu was preparing food.
Regardless of whether Chen Yu came home or not, she would prepare food and take care of the household chores every day, as well as collect information that Chen Yu might need.
Chen Yu didn't disturb her and went back to his room, entering the Unsurpassable Sacred Ground.
Next to the World Tree, there were already a large number of drops and treasure chests piled up, waiting to be dealt with.
Based on Chen Yu's evaluation of clearing dungeons, these things combined would definitely be a considerable fortune.
Xiao Yan was lying on top of a pile of treasure chests, sleeping soundly, still holding an unopened lollipop in her arms.
Chen Yu approached to take a look.
He found a trace of wind energy inside the lollipop's wrapper.
With a gentle poke, the wind energy dissipated, and the wrapper deflated.
Chen Yu estimated that the wrapper should have been full before Xiao Yan fell asleep.
"Master?"
Feeling Chen Yu approaching, Xiao Yan opened her confused eyes.
Before she could figure out the situation, she felt herself being lifted up by a giant hand.
Then came a whirlwind.
After rubbing his hands, Chen Yu placed the dizzy Xiao Yan aside and opened the topmost treasure chest.
