Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 33 The Truth, the Ancient Royal Family's Lifeline

Perseus paused for a moment, then dialed Tor's contact number.

"Owner!"

At this moment, Tor was clearly busy dealing with the business of "Spark Group". From Perseus's perspective, there were electronic documents floating in front of him, with various incomprehensible reports and plans.

Despite having many things to deal with, the loyal servant immediately answered the call when he discovered that his master had contacted him.

In addition, several office staff members beside him also stood up and bowed.

"Greetings, Lord Perseus."

Perseus ignored them and got straight to the point.

"Tor, I've just returned to Galer, but I've encountered some unexpected trouble here. Are you aware of the situation on Galer?"

"They actually sneaked into Suzaku Street!"

As he spoke, Perseus gave a brief overview of the Canggu royal family's bizarre actions.

Tuo'er's expression shifted from confusion to shock, and then from shock to anger.

He truly hadn't expected that what seemed like a trivial matter would escalate to this point, and that they would harass the person in question after he rejected them... Had those purple-haired dwarfs of the Canggu royal family gone mad?!

"Master, I roughly understand the purpose of the Canggu Royal Family."

"Their desire to bind themselves to their master is likely for the election ten years from now, to decide who will inherit the throne of the Canggu Empire."

"This is very important to the Canggu Empire."

"When I fought against the Azure Shadow Monarch before, I gathered some information while I was at it because I didn't know his relationship with the Canggu Empire's royal family. And then, Master, guess what I found?"

Somewhat overwhelmed by his busy schedule, Tuo Er began operating the optical computer.

Soon, Perseus received a message from Tor.

The attachments to the blank emails unfolded to reveal a series of completely unfounded claims, such as the fall of the Ancient Realm Lord, and various factions within the Ancient Empire recruiting soldiers in an attempt to gain an advantage in a coup... Various pessimistic opinions were rampant, and some even made predictions—

The entire empire appears to be on the verge of collapse.

This is actually not surprising at all among human populations.

With the five major powers standing high above and the 1008 cosmic nations relatively aloof, the intermediate-level civilizations beneath these cosmic nations began to descend into chaos.

Apart from a few relatively stable kings and nobles, other intermediate-level civilizations frequently perish. When the immortal rulers fall, intermediate-level civilizations immediately split apart. Some directly establish a primary-level civilization, while others relocate to other intermediate-level civilizations... This extremely chaotic situation is very much like raising poisonous insects, which makes it easier for strong individuals to emerge than with normal development.

This includes the slave trade, which was "widespread throughout the universe".

Although darkness under the light will never disappear, as long as the situation is clear, at least these things will not develop into the open.

Of course, chaos also has its advantages.

Those who emerge from the trials of blood and fire are better able to adapt to the universe, and the struggles between races will only be more dangerous than the current storms.

"So you think that old bastard, the Ancient Realm Lord, is dead?"

The answer is uncertain.

The lifespan of a Realm Lord is capped at one thousand epochs.

From the time Cang Gu established the Cang Gu Empire to the empire's existence spanning over eight hundred eras, no one knows how long it took that person to break through to the Realm Lord level.

10 epochs? 100 epochs?

The Ancient Realm Lord may be very old, but no one except the strongest of his time could accurately estimate his death date.

Perseus hesitated, seemingly unsure whether to get involved in this mess.

Then, before he could make a decision...

"Master, I have discovered some traces of the Boundary's actions."

Perseus immediately looked at the intelligence sent by Tor.

This intelligence is related to changes within the Canggu Empire.

Prince Ziyuan of the Mingguang Empire, Lord Qianming of the Serpent Spirit Lake, one of the four major realm lord-level forces of the Mingguang Empire... Although the information collected by Tuoer was somewhat ambiguous, it was not difficult to see through these clues that, without the knowledge of the other forces, a realm lord had secretly extended his evil hand.

This is undoubtedly a signal.

Unless they were absolutely certain that the Ancient Realm Lord would soon perish, these powerful beings who had lived for countless years would not rashly make a move and provoke an enemy whose lifespan was about to come to an end.

"So, Master, what are your plans?"

Tuoer said with a serious expression, "We are not yet firmly established. If we rashly interfere in this grand event, even if you, Master, break through, you will probably be kicked out of the game by them."

This is reality!

Hunters who have already set their sights on their prey and are about to reap the rewards will certainly not be happy to see an extra player suddenly appear on the chessboard, unless...

"Didn't the people of the Canggu Empire extend an olive branch of their own accord?"

Perseus's lips curled into a smile, his eyes revealing a shrewd calculation.

"If I intervene, they will unite against external threats, and the former officials of the Canggu Empire will not easily submit."

"What if it's their own clan's realm lord who breaks through?"

Will they refuse again?

A genius who rose from within the Canggu Empire, left due to oppression, but years later saved the empire from collapse.

This script is so in line with the traditional fantasy novel style of face-slapping!

Tuoer clearly understood what Perseus meant.

Before the latter could speak, he looked at the group of people who were trembling and had expressions that said "I don't know anything," and took out three green seeds.

"I'll help you, or you can eat it voluntarily."

This long-awaited conversation ended with the three of them shouting "Master!"

Not long after, Perseus received another detailed intelligence report on the ancient royal family, which included information about several lucky individuals who might be able to help him.

……

The ancient royal family, now in its twilight years, currently has three mountain peaks.

The eldest of the fifth-generation descendants, Prince Xueying, whose full name is Xueying Canggu, has reached the peak of the ninth level of the Domain Lord level. He is 325 million years old this year and is in his prime, but has not yet comprehended the laws.

Princess Tianyu, a sixth-generation descendant, is skilled in using a whip and has also reached the peak of the ninth level of the Domain Lord level. She is striving to pursue the fundamental laws of lightning.

As for the last one...

Perseus's gaze was firmly fixed on the information related to this person.

"Bodo Canggu, having cultivated for less than ten thousand years, has already broken through to the Domain Lord level. He is the most favored junior of the Canggu Realm Lord and was once regarded as the hope of the Empire."

"A domain lord for ten thousand years?"

Without the system, he probably wouldn't be able to break through within ten thousand years.

However, such a smooth-sailing "chosen one," a super genius in the eyes of ordinary people, clearly does not fit Perseus's privately customized "rags-to-riches" plan.

"How about taking a look at these instead?"

His gaze quickly swept over the information about the Canggu Empire above, and stopped above several pictures that looked almost identical.

After some comparison, Perseus finally settled on the best target.

He was a young man with a determined look in his eyes.

Similarly, his experiences largely correspond to the script.

"Because he offended the direct line and was expelled, he suffers from 'genetic blocking disease' and has been stuck at the ninth level of the Hengxing star for many years. This is barely acceptable."

"However, it is difficult for me to create a World Lord without sufficient time."

"To prevent the Canggu Empire from collapsing completely before it can be saved, it seems I still need to find an opportunity to help the Canggu royal family."

"Let's start by making contact through this marriage alliance!"
