Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

Chapter 151: Talented Players

153.

……

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

The Abyss of Evil has vanished, the thick dark clouds have long since dissipated, and the black imperial capital on the magic map has returned to normal. In the entire imperial capital, apart from a very few people, no one even knows what happened last night.

"A living undead emperor..."

The meeting ended, and Lü Cheng had already left.

Shao Zheng and several councilors sat on a high floor of the palace, discussing their next course of action.

Lü Cheng did indeed successfully inherit the legacy of the ancient king, not only Sha Yuan, but most troublesome of all, the Undead Empire.

“Now we not only can’t touch him, but we also have to do everything we can to protect his safety…” An old man’s expression was somewhat unnatural.

If Lü Cheng dies, he will become the true Undead Emperor, an Undead Emperor who can control countless undead spirits dwelling in the ancient capital's tomb palace.

The scene last night has shown that the calamity of the dead that Lü Cheng can cause far exceeds that of the previous Eight Directions of the Dead!

If problems arise with the spirits of the ancient capital, the demons of the Qinling Mountains will also take action.

The most troublesome thing is that the war of the undead is different from normal wars!

War generates death energy, which in turn catalyzes the transformation of the undead. Conflicts between humans and the dead in normal times can only be considered friction, not war.

A necromantic empire commanded by an emperor is a completely different concept from the necromantic empire previously ruled by individual necromantic monarchs who even engaged in internal strife.

Moreover, the undead know no fear; killing and war are what they crave most. Demons may care about the losses after a war begins, but the undead do not consider such things.

The more brutal the war, the more excited the dead become!

The Demon Empire needs to consider what it can gain from waging war, but the Undead Empire doesn't, because what they want is war!

"Let's just consider this as building a good relationship with the future master of the Eastern Undead Empire," Shao Zheng said.

"Now we can no longer treat him as a young man in his twenties; we must treat him as an emperor, because he truly is an emperor!"

A dead emperor!

“However, many people believe that by contacting the Holy City, those archangels should be very interested in the future undead emperor,” said a forbidden spellcaster from the Magic Association.

A dead emperor is a good emperor!

Even if Lü Cheng inherits the Sha Yuan, he is still a living person. The Holy City has a way to prevent Lü Cheng from turning into a corpse after death, so he cannot become a true undead emperor.

"What if we fail?" Shao Zheng asked.

"If the Holy City fails to eliminate him, what do you think will happen?"

"Don't forget, the Undead Empire isn't in the Holy City, it's here with us."

If possible, he also did not want the undead emperor to be resurrected. Without an emperor, the undead and the demons of Qinling could maintain a balance.

But the risk was too great; if they failed, they would have to face a mad undead empire.

"And don't forget, that kid can summon the Dark Lord." Shao Zheng covered his head.

What the Dark King desires most is war and death in the real world. Lü Cheng is the new master of the Undead Empire. If they kill Lü Cheng, he can imagine what will happen!

“But this undead emperor is too willful,” the oldest man said.

"..."

"The Undead Emperor? Willful?" Pang Lai's expression was somewhat strange.

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Does the Undead Emperor need to follow rules?

Whose rules?

The Magic Association? Or the Holy City?

He knew that Lü Cheng still possessed the divine armor of the Holy City. He wasn't sure how powerful that thing was, after all, it was just a legend, a legend even more mysterious than the Parthenon's soul, because no one had ever controlled it, at least he had never heard of it.

However, the archangels are monsters who have surpassed human limits and possess emperor-level combat power. He doesn't think that the fact that even those monsters dare not touch something is simply due to their faith in God.

Lu Cheng dared to run directly from the Abyss of Fiends to the Magic Palace last night, even knowing that there were at least super-level mages present, and even double-digit forbidden spell mages, but that kid wasn't worried at all!

Therefore, there is a high probability that Lü Cheng has already been able to control that divine equipment.

He was confident that even with so many forbidden spell mages and super-level mages, he could still fight his way out!

Moreover, what does divine equipment represent?

If they really join forces with the Holy City to deal with Lü Cheng...

He could already imagine what would happen!

……

That's roughly it.

"..."

"Roughly? Are you sure?"

Even Ai Tutu, who is easily fooled, expressed doubt about Lü Cheng's explanation.

He accidentally stumbled into the Abyss of Evil, accidentally encountered the remnant soul of an ancient king, accidentally obtained the ancient king's legacy, and accidentally slept for several months.

Then, last night, I accidentally sleepwalked and drove Sha Yuan to the capital?

Did I accidentally intimidate the Magic Association again?

Could you be any more perfunctory?

I could pretend to be stupid and believe you before, but what about your final act of threatening the Magic Association?

Is this something that can be done accidentally?

Although they didn't want to believe this explanation, considering that Lü Cheng had only slept for a few months and that he would bang his head against the ceiling as soon as he woke up, they knew that if they provoked him further, something bad might really happen. Therefore, Mu Nujiao and the others tacitly refrained from making a fuss with Lü Cheng.

"Acheng, don't be nervous. Just rest well when you get home. Everything will be alright." Mu Nujiao patted Lü Cheng's head.

"I'm fine." Lu Cheng's eye twitched slightly.

"Well, it's okay."

"I'm really fine."

"Be good, it's okay."

"..."

Lingling looked at Lü Cheng, who had inexplicably escaped danger, with a strange expression.

She always thought that Lü Cheng relied on his skills, but she never expected that he relied purely on his talent!

There's absolutely no skill involved; he's a pure talent!

No wonder my sister told me to stay away from this guy, he's toxic!

“It’s not just talent,” Ye Chang said from the side.

"You're handsome, huh?" Lingling retorted.

Lu Cheng's overall stats are truly unbeatable. There are people as handsome as him but not as strong, and people as strong as him but not as handsome. Moreover, he has such terrifying talent and strength, yet he has no airs whatsoever, as if he were a fake.

“It’s his thought process,” Ye Chang said.

Lu Cheng and Su Meng have strikingly similar thought processes!

For Su Meng, feelings are feelings, and work is work.

She wouldn't let her emotions affect her work, which is why she was promoted by the Holy City back then, and even the archangels never doubted her.

As for Lü Cheng, feelings are feelings, and power is power. He can distinguish between the two and will not let power affect his feelings.

Back when they were still in Bocheng, Lü Cheng and Tang Yue were a case of the woman being stronger than the man, but he was shameless enough to make Tang Yue helpless against him.

Now, Tang Yue is no match for Mu Nujiao and the others in terms of either beauty or practical value. To put it bluntly, Tang Yue has no value to Lü Cheng anymore.

But Lu Cheng's attitude towards Tang Yue remained the same as it was in Bocheng, unchanged!

She has traveled all over the world and seen everything, so she understands even more how incredible this is!

She knew all too well what kind of people they were.

Wealth, power, and strength—these things can reveal a person's true nature.

It's not that money corrupts people; it's that this person is inherently like this, but their own power doesn't allow them to express these traits.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

When people have power, they instinctively want to plunder and kill.

Humans do not admire beauty, nor do they oppose violence or privilege; they simply resent those who stand on higher ground, rather than themselves.

Therefore, there is no such thing as being innocent.

Today's innocent are tomorrow's perpetrators.

Just like those who chased her, Su Meng, and Lü Chengze back then, they were once innocent and vulnerable people in her eyes!
