Chapter 535 Chapter 535 – Conjectures
Philip fell into deep thought. How many initial stone tablets were there in the Round Table? This was a question worth discussing. However, one could imagine that even if there were initial stone tablets in the Round Table, there shouldn’t be too many of them. Chen Heng personally came into contact with the Blue Knight and Crimson Knight and felt their power. Philip was sure that among the Five Knights, the Blue Knight and the Crimson Knight had yet to walk on that path. In other words, the number of initial stone tablets in the Round Table was far from what he had imagined. Otherwise, they would not have such a performance.
Based on Philip’s guess, there were probably two initial stone tablets in the Round Table. One of them was taken by the Blue Knight from the ancestors of Tarilo. As for the other one, considering the considerable influence of the Round Table, which had ruled this world for so many years, it was very likely that they could have obtained the initial stone tablets from other channels.
At the very least, it was very likely that the Golden King was there. Why did the Round Table have to chase after the Golden King and try so hard to search for Lu Yao? Was it simply because of hatred? Philip felt that it might not be so. There was probably a reason behind this.
The Golden King had once been able to become a King. According to the Black King, he must have had an initial stone tablet that he could leverage. And this initial stone tablet was probably what the Round Table needed.
For this reason, they went against the forces left behind by the Golden King and did not hesitate to hunt down the Golden King’s reincarnation. This was understandable. Various thoughts flashed through Philip’s mind.
However, the Black King gave a negative answer after knowing his thoughts. “I’m afraid that the only piece of the initial stone tablet in their hands is mine.” The Black King shook his head and continued to explain.
It turned out that things like the initial stone tablet had a much deeper connection with its owner than most people imagined.
Even if a king died, as long as the initial stone tablet still existed, the mark of a king would remain in it and would not disappear with time. As time passed, the mark contained in the initial stone tablet might even be able to regenerate and revive the previous king.
The golden mark on Lu Yao’s body still existed. This proved that the Golden King’s mark in the initial stone tablet still existed. Otherwise, such a situation would not have occurred.
“I see.” Philip listened to the Black King’s explanation and slowly nodded.
From its looks, wanting to snatch an initial stone tablet in this world was much more complicated than Philip had previously thought. As a king’s leverage, it was impossible to grab it unless that king had fallen entirely.
In the past, unless the Black King died for tens of thousands of years, causing the mark within the stone tablet to disappear, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been taken by the Blue Knight and wouldn’t have been taken by anyone else.
“What a pity…” The Black King sighed and seemed a little regretful. “I can feel that the stone tablet that once belonged to me has been taken by someone else and engraved with someone else’s mark. Otherwise, the stone tablet will return if I summon it.” He sighed with a regretful expression.
Philip glanced at the Black King and did not know what to say. Based on the previous situation, the Blue Knight had not stepped onto the king’s path and was still some distance away from that step. Instead, other force was filled with traces of the king’s power.
That person most likely occupied the Black King’s initial stone tablet. However, this was good. The Five Knights occupied the initial stone tablet that once belonged to the Black King. This was the revenge for stealing the
path.
If the Black King wanted to recover his former strength and become a king again, he would have to fight against the Five Knights of the Round Table and take back his initial stone tablet. Similarly, the Five Knights would not let go of the revived Black King to prevent future trouble. This could be seen from the Blue Knight’s hurriedly suppressed the Evil King and did not let go of anything related to the Black King
Both sides were born enemies, while the enemy’s enemy was a friend. To Philip and Chen Heng, the Black King before them was the best ally. Philip did not need to say much to understand this point. The Black King probably knew it too.
“How much power do you have left?” Philip thought for a moment, and then he continued to speak.
“Not half of what I had at my peak. However, I can barely deal with someone like the Blue Knight.” The Black King shook his head and said.
After recovering from the silence, the Black King’s true spirit was gradually recovered. However, it was still incomplete, and its strength was not as strong as when it was at its peak. However, its body was still strong, and it was still the body of a former king. Its level was much stronger than the Blue Knight, who was at the peak of the sixth rank.
When the two combined, their current battle strength was probably the same as the Blue Knight.
“However, give me some time to recover. I should be able to recover completely soon.” The Back King seemed to have thought of something and looked in a specific direction in the galaxy before saying this. Philip faced the direction that the Black King was looking in deep thought. That direction was precisely where the Evil King had been sealed previously, if he remembered correctly.
“Interesting.” He immediately understood the Black King’s plan.
The Evil King and the Black King were initially one body. However, compared to the Black King, the Evil King was only a little bit of nourishment left behind by the Black King, born from the re-nurture of his body However, in essence, the power of the two was the same, and they belonged to the same existence. Hence, this power could be digested to the greatest extent.

If the Black King could devour the Evil King, he should be able to recover his strength at the fastest speed and reach his peak. Philip was happy to see this. In any case, to him, the Evil King before this wasn’t anything good. Compared to the rational Black King, the Evil King seemed normal, but in reality, he was filled with an evil nature and was naturally inclined to destroy everything.
The Black King before him was more cooperative than the Evil King. “There are three people, including the Black King, the main body, and me…” Philip looked at the Black King and muttered, “Even if we include Lu Yao, there are only four people. There’s still one more to go than the Five Knights.”
Compared to the Black King before him, Lu Yao was still young and was not fully matured. Although her strength was not weak, she still could not reach the level of the Five Knights even if the power of her Golden Mark was included.
However, she was the chosen one born in this era, and she was also the successor of the Golden King. The future is promising, and she would most likely be able to reach this rank as quickly as possible. Therefore, Philip counted her as one person.
However, even with Lu Yao, there seemed to be one person missing. In addition, on Chen Heng’s side, his strength had not fully recovered and reached its peak. Various thoughts flashed through Philip’s mind, and he looked into the distance.
In the distance, Chen Heng was still standing in his laboratory. He stood in front of a spacious laboratory table. Before him, a mysterious and unique mark appeared. It had a strange charm to it, making people feel that it was extraordinary. In Chen Heng’s eyes, the mark before him was particularly complicated. Every line and every tiny grain gave off an unusual feeling, making people feel fascinated. Before his eyes, a complicated mark slowly took shape and finally condensed together.
A smile appeared on Chen Heng’s face. Then, he turned around and looked into the distance. “So that’s how it is?” In an instant, the information from Philip’s clone was transmitted over, transmitting all the information obtained from the Black King to Chen Heng’s main body.
“The initial stone tablet has such an effect in this world?” Chen Heng frowned as he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. According to Philip’s information, anyone who wanted to become a king in this world would have to go through the erosion of the initial gate. Therefore, one had to have the initial stone tablet as support to succeed.
However, this was very abnormal. In Chen Heng’s opinion, the so-called king in this world was roughly equivalent to a seventh rank, equal to the Seven Ring epic level in the world of Gods. However, Chen Heng had never heard that one needed leverage to advance to the epic level in the world of Gods. There was also the seventh rank in the world of Gods, the Azure World, and the Sorcerer World.
However, Chen Heng had never heard that one needed something to advance to a seventh rank in those places. Only in this world did he need such things.
“Is the situation in this world extraordinary, or…” Chen Heng frowned, and after thinking for a moment, Chen Heng finally shook his head and gave up thinking.
For the time being, this question was destined to have no answer. To understand this question, Chen Heng had to continue moving forward and take a step further. Only when he reached the end of this world would he be able to do it.
Chen Heng had a premonition about this. The day he reached the end of this world was not too far away. Chen Heng heard footsteps coming from outside as he was deep in thought. The footsteps were light and had no sense of heaviness, and they did not sound like the footsteps of an adult.
Chen Heng subconsciously turned around, and then he heard a knock on the door. A voice came from outside.
“Teacher!” A little girl’s voice sounded from outside. Her voice was evident and crisp, with a lively childlike tone. The joy in her voice was undeniable. When he opened the door, he saw that the person standing outside was none other than Guna.
She had changed into a new set of clothes. With a cheerful smile on her face, she strode to Chen Heng and said, “Teacher, your sister has woken up.”
“She has woken up?” Chen Heng looked at Gunali, and a smile appeared on his face.
Chen Heng’s sister was none other than Lu Yao. After that battle, because Lu Yao had exhausted the power of the Golden Mark, she had long fallen into a deep sleep and fainted. After that, Chen Heng brought her to the Oriel family’s manor and placed her with Gunali. By now, several days had passed.
“Bring me there to take a look.” Chen Heng gently stretched out his hand, touched Gunali’s tiny face, and smiled.
Gunali responded. Then, he moved her tiny feet and walked forward, and Chen Heng followed behind her. Along the way, many servants of the Oriel family looked at Gunali and Chen Heng behind her with respect.
Chen Heng didn’t continue to conceal his existence like before after experiencing what had happened. Instead, he openly revealed his presence.
Fortunately, at this point, it would not have much of an effect if his existence was not exposed. As he walked forward from the laboratory, Chen Heng did not see Malikado or sense his aura. It seemed that he had left this place two days ago as if he had something urgent to deal with. From a certain point of view, Malikado was reassured about Chen Heng.
Then, Chen Heng continued to go forward, and soon, he arrived in another room. A faint fragrance was emitted in the room, smelling unique.
Even if he was just a mortal, he could not help but feel refreshed and happy when he smelled this fragrance.
This was placed here by Chen Heng. After using it for a long time, it could more or less purify one’s spirit. When he walked into the room, Lu Yao had already woken up on the head of the bed. Beside the bed, Ye Zi and the other two were standing there. From its looks, they had been here for quite some time.
There were even designated servants at the side to take care of Lu Yao in this place. Overall, it was not bad.
“Brother…” Looking at Chen Heng, Lu Yao turned around and smiled. “You’re here.”
“Yes.” Chen Heng nodded, and his expression looked much calmer ompared to Lu Yao. “How do you feel?”
“Not bad.” Lu Yao waved her hand and felt it. “Although I’m still a little weak, I’ve almost recovered compared to before. In a few more days, I should be able to recover completely.’ She felt for a while and then said.
“That’s good.” Chen Heng nodded and then looked at Lu Yao’s forehead. There, the golden mark was still clearly visible.
