Chapter 122 Xia Yu
"head of the lu family."
alkaid said, "this is our first meeting."
"in recent times, everywhere is in need of rejuvenation, and the need to maintain stability requires greater effort. there has been so much to attend to that i have not been able to visit chairman alkaid sooner. this was my oversight,"
lu tianhe, the martial saint, was very formal in his demeanor.
"it's no problem; you've done well to ensure that not even the slightest unrest occurred in any of dayu country's provinces,"
alkaid said.
while speaking, he led everyone towards the conference room.
however, just before entering the conference room, lei yun came over: "the family head has arrived."
alkaid paused and then said to lu tianhe and the others, "you go in first."
he turned around and went back to the entrance of the villa.
experience tales with empire
he didn't have to do this.
no one would have thought it amiss.
nevertheless, he did it anyway.
honoring the virtuous and the talented.
soon, su chiming was seen arriving, guarded by su hua who had achieved grandmaster status.
getting out of the car with him was lin xia, who after handing over the bu zhou group completely to su yaoyu, was called back to continue handling various matters by his side.
seeing alkaid again, the woman serving as the secretary-general of the secretariat seemed somewhat incredulous.
although they had only been apart for several months, seeing alkaid again...
she felt as if ages had passed.
after all, the last time they met, he was using the group's venue to hold a meeting with representatives of the nine noble families, but this time...
had he become the controller of dayu kingdom?!
especially with the international situation and the news...
it seemed like he had stepped out of dayu kingdom, and even out of zhongzhou, extending his reach towards the red star empire at the center of the world?!
"alkaid, what's happening?"
as soon as su chiming saw alkaid, he immediately asked, "it seems that kong fang, along with the forces of the snow dragon federation, is exterminating red star forces, spreading out in all directions from the capital and aiming to take over the entire red star empire?"
"yes,"
alkaid replied, "you need to get ready; we might be moving."
immediately, a look of utter disbelief surged in su chiming's eyes, "you can't be telling me... after jumping from the tian nan capital to the dayu imperial city, the next step is to jump directly to the red star imperial capital?"
"if you're prepared, it's not impossible,"
alkaid responded with a smile.
"buzz! buzz!"
at these words, su chiming felt as if his brain had been struck by a hammer, roaring loudly. for a moment, he couldn't hear anything else.
it took a while before he widened his eyes, staring at alkaid—who was smiling and seemed not to be joking—and then...
his throat moved, and his voice suddenly became somewhat stammered, "what do you mean, 'if you're prepared, it's not impossible'?"
"just as you understand it,"
alkaid said, "i have an agreement with snow dragon, not to mention other things, as long as you are ready, you can take over red star at any time."
even though su chiming had braced himself, hearing alkaid bluntly state this fact still made him open his mouth unconsciously.
he wanted to say something.
but in the end, he couldn't utter a word.
when he first met alkaid and confirmed that he was indeed a nineteen-year-old grandmaster, he had anticipated that alkaid would lead the su family to soar to the heavens, but he had never imagined that they would soar to such heights!
replacing the liao family as the controller of dayu was one thing, but then...
he was racing along the path to the heavens at breakneck speed, never looking back, and now, he was about to lead the su family to replace red star and become the world's dominant power?!
world dominance!
therefore...
"you might understand it that way."
alkaid replied.
with that, all grandmasters and martial saints in the room became enlightened.
celestial!
alkaid had become a celestial!
it all made sense now.
this explained everything.
the celestial of the snow dragon federation was said to have encountered some accident, and it might well be that alkaid was now the only celestial in the world.
receiving such treatment as the world's sole celestial...
was only too normal.
one could even say that the snow dragon federation was very astute.
however, once they understood this, everyone's gaze towards alkaid took on a sense of wonder.
celestial.
how did he become a celestial so quickly?
although he had displayed astonishing combat power against the liao family not too long ago, in their perception, it was merely at the level of a divine intent martial saint.
so little time had passed, and now a celestial!?
"i know the purpose of your visit..."
alkaid spoke: "however... if you wish to gain benefits for your respective families, you must show your capabilities... "
as soon as he finished speaking, lv tianhe was the first to solemnly declare: "from this day forward, the lu family is willing to follow council speaker alkaid's commands without question."
on the other side, jiang sheng also reacted.
in fact, his response was faster and more complete than the lu family's: "the jiang family is willing to take council speaker alkaid as our leader and become an affiliate family under council speaker alkaid."
this decision, which almost completely sold their family to alkaid, momentarily startled lv tianhe.
but then, seeing alkaid's youthful face, he instantly realized something.
celestial!
a celestial in his twenties!
such an existence, even if placed within the artifact sect, belonged to those who would be prioritized for training, and in the future, might even compete for the title of true disciple!
no matter whether he chooses to go to the artifact sect in the future or stays in this world due to obstructed paths, one can foresee that for the next few decades, the whole world will be under his rule.
although he is just rising to power and doesn't have many capable people around him yet, these families need to express their stance now; in another ten or twenty years, once su family descendants rise under his mentorship, what room will there be for the major families then!?
on the other hand, if they could seize this opportunity...
even though they would serve the su family, their future achievements could match those of the twelfth leading red star noble families, catapulting them above many nation's royal families.
having grasped this, lv tianhe also quickly changed his statement: "the lu family is also willing to take council speaker alkaid as our leader and follow his commands."
with the jiang family and the lu family having expressed their positions, the remaining families reacted swiftly, one after another voicing their intentions to serve.
in an instant, a meeting for delineating territories turned into a loyalty pledge scene.
this spectacle, caught by su chiming who had just managed to regain his senses, made the corners of his mouth twitch...
he couldn't keep up, not at all.
at this moment, he wished he could post online to ask.
what does it feel like to be eclipsed by your grandson?
what's it like to wake up and become the head of the world's leading family?
...
alkaid was unaware of su chiming's wild thoughts at the moment.
while he was somewhat surprised by the self-awareness of the noble families, he indeed needed people right now, since the su family members were not yet fully grown, so he had to rely on external forces to maintain control over dayu and red star.
therefore, he did not reject these families' pledges of loyalty.
and with the complete allegiance of these noble families, coupled with the guidance of the su family, dayu country was bound to undergo earth-shattering changes, and after some deliberation, the group decided to change the nation's title.
following alkaid's proposal, the new national title—xia yu.
