Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

Now, a massive planetary warship bearing the crest of a great noble family swaggered into the skies above the capital, its imposing presence causing many to momentarily forget that today's protagonist was none other than the Empress.

Luo Tian frowned slightly when he saw the planetary warship gleaming with the noble insignia.

"I didn't expect these guys to come too. Are they trying to make an example of someone beforehand?"

Thoughts raced through Luo Tian's mind, and his gaze unconsciously drifted toward the direction of the platinum palace behind him.

Yin Qianyu still hadn't come out, and Luo Tian wasn't quite sure what Yin Qianyu's purpose was, or whether taking action beforehand would have any impact on her.

To Luo Tian's surprise, at the same time he frowned slightly, Divina keenly noticed the displeasure on Luo Tian's face, and an inexplicable anger spread from Divina's heart.

Divina couldn't explain where this nameless rage came from; it seemed to be a deep-seated awe of that supreme and revered will, or perhaps an instinct from the depths of her soul.

When a ruler or father is humiliated, his subjects should repay him with their blood!

Beneath the silver-white helmet, the pale gold eyes suddenly unleashed a breathtaking aura.

The Leviathan, freed from its icy confinement, seemed to sense its master's wrath. Its massive body, which nearly filled the entire sky above the capital, swayed slightly before crashing directly into the gleaming planetary warship.

"Bang!"

A deafening explosion resounded across the sky. Compared to the Leviathan's massive body, the mere planetary warship was as fragile as an insect.

The hard alloy was easily torn apart by the impact, and several demigod guards on the warship perished the moment they came into contact with the corrupting and decadent aura, their withered and ugly corpses crashing to the ground from the sky.

Part of the wrecked warship crashed directly outside the capital, while in another part, five disheveled figures, enveloped in protective light, were violently thrown into the palace square, creating a large crater.

The entire palace was completely silent!

Chapter 228 Relentless Pursuit!

The dozens of nobles present stared blankly at the five disheveled figures in the hall.

The once high and mighty nobles have fallen to this state in the blink of an eye.

And that's not the most important thing. If Luo Tian had acted out of anger, that would have been one thing, but the problem is that the planetary warship was knocked down by the Leviathan itself.

Judging from the force of the Leviathan's impact, it didn't seem like some kind of mistake; rather, it seemed intentional.

Combined with the arrogant and domineering behavior of these nobles earlier, it all seems incredibly ironic.

Even Luo Tian hadn't expected such a scene to occur.

In Luo Tian's mind, the actions of the nobles might have been an attempt to lure him into making a move, but things had developed to this point, and it seemed that Luo Tian had been overthinking things.

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Luo Tian looked at the Abyss Daughter with a puzzled expression.

This was the first time he had truly looked at this lucky person who was favored by two great gods, a true second-generation god.

With the helmet obscuring his face, Luo Tian couldn't see what expression was on the face of Divina, the Daughter of the Abyss.

However, when his gaze focused on the Daughter of the Abyss, Luo Tian felt a strange sense of closeness to her, but it was only faint and unclear.

In terms of connection, it's not even as clear as the closeness between Luo Tian and the little knight.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be like...

"Something I lost?"

Luo Tian was somewhat unsure of what to do.

Upon careful reflection, Luo Tian couldn't recall losing anything.

Moreover, he had only been in this world for a few months, and before that, he was just a diligent little dog who was leveling up his Q. How could he possibly be related to a top-tier second-generation god like the Abyss Daughter, who was favored by two great gods?

Feeling that inexplicable connection, Luo Tian frowned slightly, suddenly realizing that this whole scheme to steal equipment seemed to be slipping a little out of his control.

"Things are starting to get interesting!"

He murmured something to himself, then withdrew his gaze and focused on the deep pit on the ground of the venue.

"I was pleasantly surprised and delighted that several dukes and marquises would come."

He spoke politely, but there was no joy on Luo Tian's face.

Having climbed out of the crater, the five noblemen in their finery looked at Luo Tian, ​​who had taken his place, with disheveled expressions.

As a noble family with a history spanning thousands of years, they naturally possessed numerous means of self-preservation, and the previous dangers posed no threat to their lives.

But at their level, they're always surrounded by guards wherever they go. This is the first time they've been forced to resort to desperate measures to save their lives.

Burning with rage, the five dukes wanted to shout insults, but their faces turned pale and they dared not utter a word.

Because what made them so miserable was not Luo Tian, ​​but the Leviathan behemoth, the mount of the Daughter of the Abyss.

They were clearly helping the Daughter of the Abyss suppress Luo Tian, ​​but in the end they were "accidentally injured" by the Daughter of the Abyss's mount, and they didn't even have the confidence to vent their anger, which made them furious.

They have already stood on the opposite side of Luo Tian. If they were to further sever their ties with the Daughter of the Abyss, only death awaited them.

A cold wind blew across the square, and the threat of death slightly calmed the anger in the hearts of the five dukes and marquises.

After glancing at Luo Tian at the head of the table, the Grand Duke of Beifeng spoke with a forced smile:

"After all, we've watched the Princess grow up. Today is the auspicious day of Her Highness inheriting the imperial throne. How could we not come to participate?"

It's just a pity for the Undying Duke and the Marquis of Yueshan, who once doted on Her Highness the Eldest Princess the most. It's such a shame that these two dukes and marquises didn't even get to witness such a momentous day.

The faces of many nobles present changed immediately upon hearing these words.

Everyone present knew that both the Immortal Duke and the Marquis of Yueshan had been killed by the Regent Prince before them.

Now, the Duke of Beifeng brought up this matter at the ceremony, and deliberately portrayed the relationship between these two dukes and marquises as being extremely good with Yin Qianyu, purely to annoy Luo Tian.

Despite their extremely disheveled appearance, the five dukes and marquises immediately confronted each other, making the ceremony somewhat delicate.

Just then, the sound of carriages and horses suddenly rang out on the long street outside the palace, and then the guard at the palace gate shouted:

"The Earl of Chengyue has arrived!"

"Viscount Qin Feng has arrived!"

"Lord Fire Cloud said!"

......

One by one, powerful counts and viscounts arrived at the ceremony venue in carriages, quickly enlivening the otherwise somewhat quiet ceremony within minutes.

Despite the fact that the five dukes and marquises made a rather disheveled entrance and were now at odds with Luo Tian, ​​the nobles did not mind at all. Instead, they greeted the dukes and marquises with smiles on their faces.

In truth, everyone knew that the temporary embarrassment was nothing. The fact that the Abyss Daughter's mount had damaged the planetary warship was at most a way for the Abyss Daughter to reprimand the five dukes and express her dissatisfaction.

However, as long as the five dukes remain the rulers of the thousand-year-old aristocracy and continue to cooperate with the Daughter of the Abyss, a steady stream of nobles will flock to them.

Looking at the nobles who were still entering the venue, nearly a hundred people had arrived in just a few minutes, even more than the first batch of people who entered when the palace gates were opened.

Shuangye, standing beside Luo Tian, ​​watched the nobles rush in, her gaze slightly darkening as her clear, cold voice echoed through the hall.

"Get all these guys who came later out!"

These words immediately caused an uproar, with some nobles even asking bluntly, "On what grounds?"

Frosty Night glanced coldly at the nobleman and said indifferently:

"Those who missed the time to enter the palace should not have entered the palace in the first place. Moreover, after you entered the ceremony, you talked and disrupted the order. You should naturally be expelled from the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace guards around him began to move forward, and many nobles' expressions changed. Then their eyes were focused on the five dukes and marquises.

The leader, the Grand Duke of North Wind, chuckled coldly and said bluntly:

"The ceremony has not yet begun, so why can't we enter? Today is a joyous day, so why can't we talk and discuss?"

The fact that the Immortal Duke and the Marquis of Yueshan were unable to participate in the ceremony was already a great pity. Now, His Highness the Regent wants to expel these pillars of the nation. Does His Highness the Regent intend to turn the Great Yin Empire into a place where he can dictate everything?

The Duke of the North Wind stared intently at Luo Tian, ​​his aged eyes sharp and piercing.

However, Luo Tian did not show the slightest anger when faced with the questioning of the Northern Wind Duke.

Glancing at the Abyss Maiden, who had suddenly fallen silent and stopped staring at him with that infatuated gaze, Luo Tianyun smiled calmly, his tone full of profound meaning:

"Are you really going to stay here?"

Chapter 229 The Loli Never Dies! (Two-in-One)

Grand Duke North Wind instinctively sensed something was amiss, but there was no room for retreat at the moment, so he nodded earnestly and said:

"Of course!"

Shuangye wanted to say something, but Luo Tian just waved his hand at her, and Shuangye stepped aside and stopped talking.

Luo Tian's unexpected concession, coupled with the presence of the Abyss Daughter and the Succubus Queen, greatly excited the newly arrived nobles.

In their view, Luo Tian's current retreat was entirely due to the presence of the Abyss Daughter, making him seem inferior.

This further convinced them that their decision to align themselves with the five great dukes at this time was an incredibly wise one.

Only the nobles who had arrived earlier had rather strange expressions.

They arrived early and witnessed the Abyss Daughter bowing to Luo Tian, ​​as well as the subsequent Leviathan behemoth colliding with the planetary warship.

These events suggest that Luo Tian and the Abyss Daughter may not be completely opposed. Once Luo Tian and the Abyss Daughter reach a consensus, the five dukes will have nothing to do with it.

Luo Tian's current concession may or may not have ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, the first group of nobles looked at the nobles who followed with pity.

The number of nobles continued to increase, and as a result, the power and influence of the five great dukes grew ever stronger.

Correspondingly, the imperial side represented by Luo Tian only had a few dozen nobles, which was completely disproportionate to the ranks behind the five dukes and marquises.

The newly arrived nobles continued to join the side of the five dukes and marquises, while Luo Tian remained silent. This led many of the new nobles to subconsciously believe that the five dukes and marquises had gained the upper hand.

The excited nobles were engaged in a heated discussion around the five dukes, occasionally glancing subtly at Luo Tian, ​​who sat in the main seat, their expressions filled with pride.

It was as if they had already stood on the side of the victors, and the power of the Great Yin Empire was within their grasp.

Amidst the commotion, Luo Tian slightly raised his eyes and looked up at the sky.

Even with the Leviathan behemoth looming in the sky, the golden sun's radiance remained undiminished, gradually reaching its highest point as time passed.

Golden light shone down on the earth, even dispelling much of the darkness that enveloped the Leviathan behemoth.

"Close the palace gates."

Seeing that the time was approaching, Luo Tian calmly gave instructions to Shuang Ye.

Shuangye nodded slightly and said loudly, "Close the palace gates!"

The palace gates, pushed shut by the stationed soldiers, slowly closed, keeping the nobles who continued to pour into the palace outside.
