Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 56 The True and False Fire Cloud Clan

The Canggu Empire, a desolate planet where almost no one comes.

Inside a long-dormant volcano, a quarrel suddenly broke out.

"That old man ran away."

The young voice carried a hint of regret, as if it were a pity that no one could be retained.

The other voice was pure terror.

He seemed to have thought of some completely unbearable consequences, and because of his fear, his voice unconsciously rose three octaves when he spoke.

"What did you say?!"

"What did you promise me before—you said that with an E9-level laser gun, our ancestor would definitely not be able to save his life. Now that the siege of three realm lords has been resolved, even if I break through, does that mean the Canggu Empire will be mine?"

"And Perseus!"

"That guy is no pushover either. Even our ancestor wasn't confident he could handle him. If I jump out now... are you planning to make me a target?"

As he spoke, Bodo Sogo, who had already broken through to the realm lord level, his chest heaved violently. He looked at the unmoved youth in the light screen in front of him and threatened him.

"You must take responsibility for this failure!"

"Besides our ancestor, I'm the only one who knows the whereabouts of the secret realm. If I die, you can expect to fight to the death alongside those twenty-odd realm lords—"

"Hakata, my friend, you should know that trying to catch a prepared World Lord in the vast universe is simply impossible..."

"Yeah?"

Hakata Sogo sneered, "That's something you need to consider!"

"After years of forbearance, I finally waited until my ancestor reached the end of his lifespan. Now that I have become the Lord of the Realm, the Canggu Empire can only be mine."

The young man in the screen fell silent.

He tapped the table lightly with his hand, his expression becoming somewhat conflicted. After a long while, he finally looked up again and looked at Hakata Sogo.

"I have a new proposal."

"What proposal?" Hakata Soko pressed.

"The Ancient Realm Lord is facing the end of his lifespan. Even if we ignore him, he will eventually perish... Well, since you are grandfather and grandson, you should strategically avoid him for a while to preserve some dignity for yourself and your ancestor."

"As for Perseus, we'll find a way to help you resolve this."

Hakata Soko began to seriously consider the proposal.

Currently, his ambitions are almost out in the open.

Based on his understanding of this ancestor, although the ancestor would be furious and wish he could kill him, he would not risk being besieged and attacked again by the outside world, since he had almost been killed by his own descendants in collusion with outsiders.

He also has no intention of standing out.

Therefore, as long as we wait until our ancestor reaches the end of his lifespan before taking over the Canggu Empire, this obstacle will essentially disappear.

In contrast, look at that Spark Association president!

His desire to seize the Canggu Empire was obvious. Even without Xueying Canggu, there would be other alternatives.

For example, there's Digori Canggu, who also broke through to the Domain Lord level.

"What are your plans?"

Hakata Sogo frowned, looking at the young man waiting quietly in the light screen, his gaze sweeping over his red hair and red eyes.

"As far as I know, Perseus is also from your Fire Cloud Clan..."

"He isn't!"

Noticing the suspicious look in Hakata Sogo's eyes, the young man shook his head slightly.

"Although my Fire Cloud Clan has many branches, I have never heard of such a Realm Lord before. He was a Domain Lord before his breakthrough. Once a strong member of my Fire Cloud Clan reaches the Domain Lord level, he will register his information within the clan. However, I specifically searched and found that there is no name 'Perseus' in the database."

"So he's a fake?"

Bodo Sogo's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he quickly frowned again.

"What if this President Xinghuo was originally only at the cosmic level?"

"What do you mean?"

The young man looked at Bodo Sogo with some surprise, adopting a "listen attentively" posture. However, when he heard that Perseus had broken through within a hundred years... his expression immediately became uncertain.

"Within a century—this is troublesome!"

"If this guy is really a genius of my Fire Cloud Clan, and he breaks through to the Realm Lord level within a hundred years, then once he contacts the clan, no matter which branch he was from before, he will be introduced into the main branch."

"Is it difficult to solve?"

"It's not that it's difficult to solve; the problem is that we need to act quickly."

"So what if he's from the same clan... Even if he's from the same clan, the biggest problem is that he's not registered. As long as I can kill him, what can the clan do to me even if they find out!"

……

Perseus was unaware that, under the influence of Bodo Cangu, a member of his "kin" had decided to kill him.

at this time.

Perseus, who has returned to the planet Gilal, is trying to reach out to all parties, not only to solidify existing cooperation, but also to recommend Digori as the monarch.

"Lord Arvin, I need your help now..."

"..."

"The Finance Minister has already voted for me. If the military can support me, my 'Spark Group' can make appropriate concessions."

"..."

"Haha, this time we've really troubled the warden!"

Taking control of the Canggu Empire went more smoothly than expected.

While the conditions appeared unchanged, the moment these Kunwu people agreed to his request, the original 30 star systems immediately became a total of 100 star systems.

Perseus was also looking for an opportunity to plant his own people.

Over the past few decades, in the process of cooperation between "Spark Group" and Canggu Empire, all the talents who were promoted by the Canggu Empire's high-level officials and who originally worked under them were actually his moles.

Through collaborations, they gained promotions from their former superiors, gradually penetrating the empire and hollowing out this decaying tree. They have already achieved remarkable results.

The death of Xueying Canggu was just the beginning.

With the help of "insiders" like the Minister of Finance, plus their own "spies," the Kunwu tribe had unknowingly lost the foundation for ruling the empire.

So next...

"It's about time they left the stage."

Perseus finished the wine in his glass, put it down, and walked to the French windows on one side.

The planet, which had already been repaired, suffered a second injury in a short period of time.

Although the damage caused this time was not great, due to Xue Ying Cang Gu's resistance, a Domain Lord resisting the attack of a World Lord, a small part of the city was still destroyed.

However, as an outsider who had no particular attachment to the planet Giral, Perseus offered a reasonable suggestion to his loyal servant the moment he arrived.

"Digor, are you going to stay?"

"There are many habitable planets, and quite a few that could serve as capitals. Instead of continuously repairing abandoned planets, why not build a new future?"

At that time, Digory immediately agreed to the request.

This was not only because he was Perseus's servant and would obey his master unconditionally, but also because, in Digory's eyes, this ancestral land, which could no longer provide him with protection, had lost its so-called "sacredness".
