Chapter 828: Shang Honghua Meets Her Idol, the Blood God Awakens
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What is Shang Honghua doing?”
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Chu Kuangren walked up to her and asked, “What are you doing here, Sister Honghua?”
Shang Honghua seemed a little lost when she saw Chu Kuangren approaching her.
Chu Kuangren, whose mind was full of questions, was even more puzzled.
‘Uh…’
‘Is she pushing me away?’
‘It doesn’t look like it, though.’
‘Could she possibly be flustered because of my overly handsome looks?’
‘That’s impossible. That’s not like Shang Honghua at all. She’s a warrior amongst the women, and this is not the first time we’ve met either.’
“Um… Brother Chu, are you the Human King?”
Shang Honghua asked curiously. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she looked at Chu Kuangren.
That was when Chu Kuangren suddenly realized something.
He started to remember.
Shang Honghua was a big fan of the Human King!
She even had a biography of the Human King and read it from time to time.
‘Human King, huh? Wait, that’s me!’
‘No wonder she’s acting strangely today. It looks like she’s meeting her idol.’
“Yeah, I am.” Chu Kuangren immediately nodded and admitted.
Shang Honghua got even more excited.
She could not believe that the Human King she highly revered for a long time was actually Chu Kuangren all along. She had even fought alongside him as well.
‘This is unbelievable.’
‘It’s just like a dream.’
“My King, is Chu Kuangren your reincarnated form?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ve heard you’re planning to build an empire. Is that true?”
“That’s right. We, humans, must unite to advance into an interstellar civilization. Creating this empire will be the first step to all of this.”
“What can I do to help?”
“Focus on your cultivation. You shall be one of the pillars of support for the Firmament Star’s future…”
Chu Kuangren continued chatting with Shang Honghua.
Even after he left, Shang Honghua still stared at his silhouette in a daze. It took a while for her to return to her senses.
She did not even notice when the Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade had walked up to her. He said with a smile, “Hua’er, now that you’ve seen the King, has your wish been fulfilled?”
“Sigh… I still can’t believe Brother Chu is our King.”
Shang Honghua suddenly lamented.
The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade was stunned for a moment. “What’s the matter? You don’t seem happy at all. Is our King not as remarkable as you imagined?”
“No, that’s not the case. Brother Chu– no, our King is amazing, but that’s what makes me feel ashamed. My idol is so powerful, yet I’m just ordinary. I feel like I’m not worthy of liking him now.”
Shang Honghua was a cultivator who reached the Heavenly Imperial Realm before the age of one hundred and became one of the youngest Heavenly Imperials in Firmament Star’s history.
The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade’s mouth twitched.
“It looks like I’ll have to put more effort into my cultivation from this day onwards. I’ll strive to become stronger as fast as possible so that I can serve our King well and lessen his burdens.”
Shang Honghua took a deep breath and said seriously.
…
Somewhere in the universe.
A ray of light landed on a barren planet.
Zi Wuhen’s expression was terrible at that time. “D*mn it. How could that tiny planet produce such a terrifying Immortal Progeny? Even I am no match for him.”
“It looks like I’ll have to find a way to return the favor.”
With how powerful Planet Zi currently was, defeating Firmament Star should not be a difficult task. However, he did not intend to seek support from Planet Zi.
The reason was simple.
“Hmph. Once those guys back home learned of my defeat at Firmament Star, I’ll surely become their laughingstock.”
“I must get my payback no matter what!”
For some cultivators, reputation and image were more important than anything else at times.
As for Zi Wuhen, he was a person who valued his image greatly. Since he accepted the crusade against the Firmament Star, who knows what would happen to him if his failure was discovered when he returned to plead for help?
“I can’t return to Planet Zi for now, but I need to settle this with the Firmament Star as soon as possible. Otherwise, it’ll be too late when the higher-ups from Planet Zi learn of my defeat. Alright. What should I do now?”
Zi Wuhen thought.
Chu Kuangren was too powerful and was not a match for him.
He must find help somewhere, that was for sure.
However, there were only a few advanced cultivation civilizations in the Violet Gold Galaxy because most of them were under the control of Planet Zi and Planet Jin, who were both Immortal Civilizations.
As for the rest, not many could defeat Firmament Star, let alone an Immortal Progeny.
Besides, they must be willing to help him too.
“The Blood Origin Star… The Blood God!”
Zi Wuhen suddenly thought of something and mumbled, “The Blood Origin Star and Firmament Star have been at war for a long time. Although the Blood Origin Star and their Blood Kings are dead, there’s still the Blood God, who’s a top-tier Great Daoist Celestial!”
“If the Blood God shows up, defeating Chu Kuangren will be an easy task. Now, the only thing I need to do is to wake the Blood God up.”
Daoist Celestials had always served as the top-notch combat power of any civilization.
In the Violet Gold Galaxy, only a few individuals were Great Daoist Celestials, let alone a top-tiered Great Daoist Celestial. As long as a Heavenly Daoist Celestial did not intervene, powerful cultivators like them could roam the whole Violet Gold Galaxy without fear.
From Zi Wuhen’s point of view, Chu Kuangren was just a late-stage Minor Daoist Celestial. He may be powerful enough to fight those at a level above him, but he should not be able to handle a Great Daoist Celestial well, let alone the Blood God himself.
Following through with his plan, Zi Wuhen’s figure disappeared in a flash. Then, he took out a warship from his Yin and Yang ring and journeyed to the Blood Origin Star with it.
Several months later.
Zi Wuhen arrived at the Blood Origin Star.
Currently, the Blood Origin Star has lost all of their Blood Kings. Even the Emperors and Heavenly Imperial cultivators have mostly died in the battle against the Firmament Star.
No one could stop Zi Wuhen here. After some searching around, he finally found the place where the Blood God was in deep slumber.
It was ten kilometers below the Blood Origin Star!
Inside a dark underground area, a red-haired figure wearing blood-colored robes was hovering in mid-air.
His hair was red as blood, and his handsome face looked sinister, with horns growing from his head.
“I finally found you, Blood God.”
A smile etched on Zi Wuhen’s face.
He then took out a medicinal pill and said with a look of sorrow in his eyes, “The Seven-Cycle Golden Rejuvenation Pill. This Daoist pill is extremely rare even on Planet Zi. It’s the only top-notch Daoist Pill that’s second only to an Immortal Pill.”
The Blood God had suffered a terrible backlash and was critically injured because he attempted to devour the Heavenly Dao. As such, it would not be easy to wake him up.
If he had consumed the pill when he was first injured, even ten top-tier Daoist Pills would be useless against him. However, after countless years of slumber, the Blood God’s injuries had almost recovered. The top-tier Daoist Pill would be a final push for him to recover fully.
“If I can wake the Blood God up and get him to help me, he’ll surely agree to defeat Chu Kuangren. When that time comes, I shall force him to tell me the origin of his Immortal Techniques and the technique to build that terrifying warship. I suppose this Seven-Cycle Golden Rejuvenation Pill is worth all of that.”
Zi Wuhen took a deep breath and tossed that Daoist Pill, which exploded upon landing on the Blood God’s body.
Countless sparks of golden light hovered in the air. Eventually, it entered the Blood God’s body and was rapidly absorbed.
It did not take long before the Blood God opened his eyes fiercely.
At that instant, a terrifying surge of energy fluctuation appeared from his body, causing the whole area– no, the entire Blood Origin Star to tremble.
“To have such energy fluctuations upon awakening… It seems like the rumor that the Blood God failed to ascend into the Heavenly Daoist Celestial Realm despite devouring the Heavenly Dao is false. I’m afraid he’s just one step away from becoming a Heavenly Daoist Celestial.”
Zi Wuhen uttered with amazement.
“After being in a deep slumber for so long, I’m finally awake. What are you doing here, young human?”
A hoarse voice sounded. It was Blood God who spoke, asking Zi Wuhen indifferently, as his aura surged.
“Before you ask this, why don’t you take a look at the Blood Origin Star now.”
Zi Wuhen replied.
The Blood God mobilized his Divine Thoughts to cover most of the Blood Origin Star.
His expression quickly turned very grim upon seeing the current state of the Blood Origin Star.
