A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 551 Doing What I Desire, Flawless Reputation

The first strike upon entering the eight-star realm.

Guan Luoyang stood up, the force of this palm strike was truly extremely heavy.

I can manipulate the matter of the universe, play with the five-colored planets, traverse the vast cosmos, and be the only one who reigns supreme!

After Dumon's expression suddenly changed, he showed little intention of backing down. Instead, his eyes shone, his silver hair blazed like flames, and he stood up with a smile.

Indeed, he was actually sitting in a chair when he dealt that palm strike from Guan Luoyang, who was at the peak of the seventh-star level.

At this moment, the space inside this room has expanded to more than 100,000 li.

In the vast expanse of space, all the furnishings in the room seemed as insignificant as dust. The counter where Sumi Qing stood appeared to be just a tiny speck of light in the vast cosmos.

When fireflies take flight under the night sky over thousands of mountains and rivers on a summer night, they are probably more noticeable than the counter in Sumeru Blue.

Dumon's figure was similar to that of Xumi Qing, but he was more robust and slightly shorter. In this room, he was just a drop in the ocean and a tiny speck of starlight.

But when he stood up and raised his hand to grab it, it was as if a speck of dust had been torn away from the entire universe!

He ripped apart the vast expanse of space, even faster than Guan Luoyang's palm strike.

The endless space was compressed and piled up under his grasp, squeezing out thick moisture from the driest void and bringing the dark matter of the universe into the view of natural reality.

A strange energy, like water, mist, light, and the sea, was born in his palm, resembling a nebula in the universe.

He then used nebulae as ink, and with a bold and unrestrained style, he wrote a series of characters that resembled dragons and phoenixes dancing, splashing ink and flying sand.

Certainly!!!

This large character "定" is not the common language of the local interstellar society, but a kind of ancient, spirited, and unrestrained writing that soars to the heavens and laughs at the annals of history.

In all the heavens and myriad realms, there is a special classification for this kind of script, which is called—Dragon Script and Bird Script.

Dragon Master and Fire Emperor, Bird Official and Human Sovereign! They created writing and then clothing!

The dragon and bird script contain unique cultural characteristics belonging to the way of immortals, sages, and saints. The conceptual imprints within have long since spanned countless multiverses in the unseen realm.

Even across the myriad realms and different immortal cultivation systems, anyone who sees this script can perceive the similarity between it and their own.

The immortal cultivation methods practiced by Guan Luoyang, whether it be the "Heavenly River Orthodox Method" or the immortal cultivation lineage of the Taiqing Chiming World, do not originate from the same world as the text written by Du Meng.

However, the moment the character "Du Meng" was written, its magnificent and grand style, which seemed to originate from the same source, resonated deeply with the immortal power within Guan Luoyang's body.

This resonance, which was not enough to truly disrupt Guan Luoyang's supernatural techniques, created a strange phenomenon.

When Guan Luoyang's Zhen Qiankun Seal clashed with Du Meng's Nebula Script, their powers were exactly equal.

That's right. Even if we used the most demanding and precise instruments in interstellar society to measure at this moment, the observation results of these two attacks would be exactly the same.

No matter how many digits there are after the decimal point, all the digits are exactly the same.

The two sides' moves collided with a thunderous crash, and in an instant, silence fell.

In that very instant, Sumiqing witnessed a terrifying scene that made his heart pound.

He found himself and his counter moving at an indescribable speed toward the point where the two moves collided.

The enormous nebula script and the massive hand impacting the nebula—the closer you get, the more you can feel the awe-inspiring sheer size.

Two such enormous things, with physical existence, could indeed possess a powerful gravitational pull, drawing things in from the surrounding area.

But what Xumiqing felt was not only the feeling of being devoured and pulled by the strong gravitational source, but also the smooth movement of the entire space.

It was as if the space he and the counter occupied had transformed into some kind of technologically advanced interstellar express train, which sped away in an instant.

"Boundless, ferment!"

Sumeru Qing's eight arms each formed a wondrous hand seal, instantly slowing down the fleeting time and space, giving it a continuous flow of vitality, time to brew and transform.

The chef's three eyes and eight arms gleamed with a strange light, and his bluish-green skin gradually lost the gentle feeling that belonged to a chef, revealing an incomparably powerful and stable luster.

He bought himself some time to prepare, transforming himself into a Sumeru Battle Body in the hope of absorbing the danger zone created by the two people's battle.

Although his speed had slowed down considerably, he was still approaching that area, and it seemed he was about to break into the center of the clash between the two supernatural powers.

The giant hand adorned with five-colored stars and the words written in nebulae seemed to tacitly separate with a gentle shake.

Nebulae disperse, words fade away.

Ripples in space and time, the giant hand disappears.

Soon, countless ripples appeared in all directions and in every corner, and the vast space rapidly faded away.

Xumi Qing stepped back onto the floor of her own shop and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The tables and chairs in the shop were quickly returned to Guan Luoyang and his group.

Guan Luoyang sat back in his chair, toying with five beads in his hand: black, white, red, yellow, and cyan. They were bright and lustrous, with a deep and rich texture.

Dumon sat back down and tapped the table with his fingers. The meat slices, shaved ice, and citrus fruits that had flown away earlier returned to the table without being damaged.

He picked up the shaved ice, downed it in one gulp, and praised, "Good, you certainly have the ability. So, just tell me, how do you plan to cooperate?"

Guan Luoyang said, "Provide sufficient protection for my sales channels. Resolve some issues related to transporting the Human Immortal Dao Seed to remote areas. In addition, do your utmost to assist in promoting the Human Immortal Dao Seed and control those false statements attacking it."

"Anyway, we need to make it clear to people that the Interstellar Alliance headquarters is in place, or at least that your Supreme Ruler faction is in a good position."

"In this way, about half of those who want to oppose me will probably back down and plan to change careers sooner. This also prevents them from doing more damned things in order to continue framing the Immortal Seed."

Dumon said, "Is that all you're asking for? Our deterrent power can at most make some small and medium-sized enterprises give up opposing you, but the group led by Galaxy Eye and Sandu Company cannot be so easily overwhelmed. If they don't fall, the rest of you will never give in easily."

Guan Luoyang smiled faintly and said, "Then keep an eye on the whereabouts of these hardliners for me. I will try to influence them, to make them abandon their evil ways and turn to the light."

Dumont held his empty glass, considered it briefly, and said, "I want to do something. I need a conspicuous target, one that will provoke the ire of many powerful forces, to help me cover it up."

"Your seven-star strength was already enough, and the trouble caused by the Human Immortal Dao Seed also met my requirements. However, the Kingdom of Karen is too weak, so I intend to have you restrain yourselves and lie low for a while."

"However, since you possess this level of strength, there's not much more to say. Eight stars is more than enough. The more assertive you are, the more covert, safer, and smoother my plan can be."

Before actually meeting Guan Luoyang, Du Meng actually had other concerns.

For example, could Guan Luoyang's suspicious origins be a trap deliberately set by someone who saw through Du Meng's intentions and wanted to scheme against him?

However, after Guan Luoyang demonstrated his eight-star strength, those concerns became completely unnecessary.

Because of comprehensive consideration.

Imagine an eight-star powerhouse at the pinnacle of the interstellar era releasing a Human Immortal Seed to bombard the vast majority of interstellar organizations' interest chains related to biotechnology, all to scheme against Dumon, who hasn't yet truly implemented a certain plan.

In that case, the planners and all the participants behind it are truly brain-dead.

It would be better to wait until Du Meng actually launches his plan, and then have Guan Luoyang, an eight-star powerhouse who has never made a move, suddenly jump out and deliver a blow to Du Meng.

That's the truly most efficient way.

In short, the moment Guan Luoyang stepped into the eight-star level without saying a word, it was already destined that their meeting today would be one that ended in high spirits and great satisfaction.

Looking at the universe, in the current situation, the two sides can be said to be the most suitable partners for each other.

They chatted for a while longer, and Du Meng gave Guan Luoyang a secret way to contact him.

Before leaving, Guan Luoyang left behind the five beads he had been playing with, saying they were an apology for almost damaging the Wuliang Restaurant.

Xumi Qing had five arms, each holding one of the five beads, and seemed somewhat troubled.

Dumont asked, "What's wrong?"

"These five beads must be the five planets he created before."

Xu Miqing said, "What if I put it in the restaurant and it suddenly reverts to its planetary state? Wouldn't that be disastrous?"

Let alone a complete return to planetary status, even if the spatial power covering the surface of these five beads were to malfunction for a short while, allowing some of the planet's gravity to leak out, it would be enough to make the city a complete mess.

"It's alright. The supernatural powers covering the surface of these five beads are very stable. The path this person is taking seems to be somewhat similar to those people from the Supreme Dao Sect. The supernatural powers covering the surface of these beads are very similar to the 'Hidden Universe Technique'."

Dumon examined the beads and said, "Unless you attack these beads with all your might, you won't be able to fully unleash their power. Otherwise, even if you throw these five beads into the depths of a star and wait for thousands of years, they won't show any signs of becoming disordered or out of control."

While the environment deep within a star is indeed terrifying, star energy is, after all, dispersed. Relatively speaking, a concentrated attack from any seven-star powerhouse is far more terrifying than that kind of environment.

Sumeru Green's three eyes glanced sideways at Dumon: "Alright, I'll believe you this time."

"Why are you making such a forced statement? I'm an eight-star level expert, after all."

Dumon snorted and said, "Before those guests from outside the universe arrived, there were only two eight-star beings in our entire universe. I can be considered the third person in the history of our native universe."

"Are you sure? You're not the only one who's drawn inspiration from outsiders and gone further."

Xu Miqing said, "Besides, you did reach the eight-star level earlier than Guan Luoyang, but your exchange with him just now was only a draw, right?"

This wasn't the first time Xumi Qing had seen Du Meng's character "定" (ding).

If he could truly defeat Guan Luoyang, then that move should be able to completely negate the power of Guan Luoyang's attack.

However, their tentative exchange resulted in a slight loss of control over the power of their moves, almost causing Xumi Qing to be pulled into the center of their fight.

"He is indeed extraordinary."

Du Mengmei twitched slightly. "His breakthrough just now was not a coincidence. Rather, it was because he had already accumulated enough experience to enter the eighth-star level at any time if he wanted to. It was much smoother than my attempt when I only had a 30-40% chance of success."

"However, a breakthrough is a breakthrough. How confident you are before a breakthrough will not have a significant impact on the actual breakthrough. If we actually take action, the situation will not be as simple as you just saw."

Xumi Qing stared intently at him with his three eyes, remaining silent for a moment before saying, "You're still so confident. Among all the supreme rulers throughout history, you were the most powerful. After reaching the eighth star, it goes without saying that you're even more so."

"No wonder you were able to persuade the Primordial Elder to break this complacent peace and try to create a new situation in a wholesome way."

Dumon looked at him in surprise: "What? I convinced the Primordial Elder? When did that happen?"

Xu Miqing's three eyes widened: "Wait, you're preparing such a grand plan, and you haven't convinced the Grand Elder yet?!"

"Hmm!"

Dumon's gaze shifted slightly. "As you know, the Grand Elder is too old-fashioned and too fond of stability. He respects all kinds of independent civilizations, regardless of their quality. I don't know whether to call it excessive gentleness or excessive arrogance."

"The Interstellar Alliance was established because of his authority. Before those outsiders arrived, nothing could stop him from doing whatever he wanted. But he still turned the Interstellar Alliance into that mess. If I tell him what I want to do, it will only cause more trouble."

Xu Miqing was stunned for a moment: "Boss, do I need to remind you? Kusa and Doomsday were indeed not as strong as you back then. Kusa was defeated by you every time he challenged you, and Doomsday's Black Flag Alliance was chased away by you. However, now they are both eight stars, and their progress may be even greater than yours."

"I won't even mention the comparison of other forces or other powerful individuals involved. Just the fact that you're facing two opponents at once, do you have the confidence to do that?"

Dumont laughed heartily: "Now you realize my miserable situation, huh? Want to come back and help me?"

Xu Miqing said expressionlessly, "I have no interest in helping someone who's courting death."

"Hahahaha, I know you, Lao Xu, have always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Back then, you posted so many comics on the StarNet with such tragic plots that readers sent you bombs, but you turned all the bombs into steamed buns and happily shared them with us, saying it was proof that there are good people in the universe."

Dumont gave a thumbs up. "So the more the readers jump around, the happier you are. My hopeful quartermaster, when I truly need you, you'll eventually join me on the expedition. Don't be shy..."

Xu Miqing's indifferent face broke into a dangerous smile. He grabbed Du Meng's vest with both hands, pulled him over, and held a red bead in front of him.

"You just said that if I attack with all my might, all the energy inside this bead will be released, right?"

"Oh, calm down!"

Dumont raised his hands. "I was just joking."

The doors of Wuliang Restaurant open and close heavily.

Dumont stood at the door with a gloomy expression, holding the remaining few slices of meat: "At least give me a Laura Sea Salt smoothie."

"Sigh, morale is low, it's hard to lead a team now."

He poured the remaining few pieces of meat into his mouth, chewed them, and walked away down the street, shaking his head as he did so.

His term is coming to an end. Although he is the most powerful governor, if he wants to break the ancient rules of the Interstellar Alliance, he may first have to clash with the original Grand Elder.

To avoid these conflicts, he must carry out his plans during his term.

Moreover...

Didn't any of those predecessors realize the malignant tumors that had been growing within the Interstellar Alliance? Didn't any of them think about taking things slowly after stepping down and letting their successors take over?

They just didn't dare to take such a big risk, so they proceeded slowly and gradually, and in the end, nothing came of it!

"I am different."

"I will inscribe my name on the galaxy's name, and I will make my name the most glorious generation in the Interstellar Alliance..."

Dumont swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth, remaining silent, his chest burning.

"You malignant growths stretching across the starry sky, you are the fuel for my supreme glory!"
