I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 586 Could I really be a future Star Lord? (56)

Shaking his left hand, Chen Yu felt that this guy's face was still pretty tough.

And what is this guy thinking? Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's the temple keeper of the Great Star Lord?

Surely no one really thinks that he's the only one with the right to hit someone, and no one else has the right to hit him?
No way?
With a helpless shrug, Chen Yu looked at Dao Lingyun and asked, "Was what I just did considered self-defense?"

Dao Lingyun checked her recording pen and nodded, saying, "It counts. The process was recorded very clearly. It's no wonder that Senior Brother bought such an expensive recording pen."

"I never thought I'd actually use it when I bought it. I really got a great deal."

Walking up to the unconscious Cheng Hua, Chen Yu slapped him awake. While Cheng Hua was half-asleep, Chen Yu stared into his eyes and activated the Heavenly Demon Skill: Heavenly Demon Eye.

Cheng Hua, who had just woken up, was captivated by Chen Yu's gaze before he could even react.

Having confirmed that the other party had been captured, Chen Yu directly asked a crucial question: "Back then, was it you who prevented us from knowing the names of the star lords corresponding to the calamities?"

"……Yes."

"Thank you."

Chen Yu let go of the other person and let them fall to the ground.

When the calamity struck Tianyuan before, it was a powerful figure who prevented them from learning the calamity's true name.

At the time, Chen Yu thought it might involve some secret history or mysterious legends, so he did not investigate further.

However, he has several star deities backing him up, and he himself has a friend in disguise, Zhuge Xingjun, as well as an employee in disguise, Lian Qu. Logically speaking, his strength is not small.

But the fact that the other party was able to stop him shows that they are exceptionally strong.

Hearing today that the Earth Virtue Star Lord is actually a Great Star Lord piqued Chen Yu's interest, so he experimented a little and unexpectedly managed to get the question out.

Suddenly, Chen Yu felt a chill. A certain unfathomable big shot cast an unfriendly glance at him, directly giving him 500,000 units of negative emotions.

Seeing the sudden surge in negative emotions, Chen Yu was overjoyed.

And such a good thing!

Although I don't know who this important person is, thank you anyway, Earth Deity.

Chen Yu happily accepted the gift and was about to ask Lian Qu for her opinion when he saw her nervously walk over and then put a little something on her lips.

A small spell was cast, and Chen Yu was instantly speechless, only able to look at Lian Qu in confusion.

"Chen Yu, I know you have a lot to say right now, but it's best not to say anything for now. The Earth Virtue Star Lord is very powerful now, so it's better if you don't say too much. I know you don't care much about the other party, but it's better to restrain yourself a little for now."

Chen Yu thought about it and felt that Lian Qu's words made sense.

A piece of green paper was burned, and the Hidden Star Lord was invited here by Lian Qu, putting the office into a state of secrecy.

He kicked the still unconscious Cheng Hua outside, then sat cross-legged on the carpet and said seriously, "What I'm about to say, you must not tell anyone else."

Chen Yu nodded, while Dao Lingyun excitedly hugged Lian Qu and asked, "Is it related to the Star Lord's secrets? Hurry up."

"Why are you so agitated?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"The secrets of the Star Lord may involve loopholes, and those of us who study the law should naturally learn more about them. Lian Qu, please hurry."

Lian Qu glanced up at Dao Lingyun with dissatisfaction, but finding that Dao Lingyun was perfectly proportioned and comfortable to lie on, he didn't mind. Clearing his throat, Lian Qu said, "To be honest, the relationship between us Five Virtue Star Lords was quite good before. We exchanged ideas and made progress together. Moreover, we were all medium-sized Star Lords at the time, with similar divine power, and even the other Great Star Lords couldn't do anything to us when we cooperated."

"How did it suddenly become like this?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

"I don't know, it just happened without me realizing it. Anyway, the Earth Virtue Star Lord gradually broke through to become a Great Star Lord, then he stopped farming, sold off his mineral resources, and started speculating on land to make a fortune. In the end, he even stopped coming to our gatherings."

Recalling the statue of the Four Virtuous Stars in Ji Nan Yuan Li, Chen Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

It's estimated that by that time, the Earth Deity Star Lord had already disliked him.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu asked, "Then why do you think the Earth Deity Star Lord is preventing us from knowing the true name of the calamity?"

"The other four Virtue Star Lords have analyzed the situation of Earth Virtue Star Lord and initially suspected that Earth Virtue Star Lord accidentally merged with an outer god and then broke through to the Great Star Lord. That calamity may be the remains of the outer god."

"I see. Was it because you were afraid that others would analyze the remains to determine what characteristics He had acquired?"

"It's possible, but it's also possible that they wanted to resolve this calamity on their own and consume the remaining characteristics, but they didn't expect you to solve it. Judging from their behavior, the latter is more likely."

With his arms crossed, Chen Yu imagined what it would look like for the other party to devour the calamity, but all he could picture was a zombie gnawing on a corpse.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel that the Earth Deity Star Lord is a bit disgusting.

However, this does explain why the other party didn't want him to know the true name of the calamity, and why the other party smeared him on the dream network.

The hatred stems from their inherent differences; they are irreconcilable enemies.

For the sake of a certain characteristic, many Star Lords are even capable of committing atrocities such as having their followers sacrifice an entire village. It's not surprising that they're now targeting themselves.

After explaining the current situation and sharing her speculations, Lian Qu asked, "Chen Yu, what have you decided to do? I support you no matter what."

Chen Yu thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Okay, I understand. But I will absolutely not shut down the dream. Let it cause trouble if it wants to. It can sue me if it wants to."

"...Cheng, 'Journey to the Abyss' is a dream led by the Dream Star Lord, introduced by Dream Zero One, and has even won awards. If the Earth Star Lord wants to ban this dream, it depends on whether the Dream Star Lord agrees."

"Then everything will be fine, won't it?"

"However, we must be careful. The current Earth Deity is particularly good at playing the war of public opinion. I heard that many people have been ruined by Him through the media, making them disliked by the Deity, and then slowly tormenting their spirits until they break down."

"Wouldn't that be even better!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but shout out, and then he found Dao Lingyun and Lian Qu looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Just as he was trying to figure out how to explain this, he heard Dao Lingyun say, "Senior brother, have you already thought about how to retaliate?"

Lian Qu also said earnestly, "Judging from your expression, you must be very confident. Go ahead and do it, we Four Virtue Star Lords support you."

Although Chen Yu didn't have any plans, he felt that the word "plan" was indeed useful.

If the other party wants to smear me, then so be it. They need negative public opinion to maintain their negative emotions anyway, so there's no problem.

After Lian Qu saw off the Hidden Star Lord, Chen Yu was just about to look at the event details when he heard a knock on the door.

After letting the other person in, Chen Yu saw Yan Dazui appear at the door, excitedly rushing up to give him a hug, and then excitedly saying, "Chen Yu, I've come to interview you! There's so much negative information about you online now, it's time to fight back."

Looking at Yan Dazui, who had come uninvited, and then at Dao Lingyun and Lian Qu, who were both astonished, Chen Yu himself lost confidence.

Could I really be a future star deity?
