Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1227: Replacement Heavenly Kings!

While Chen Zuan drove back to Longmen Fortress, he was deep in thought. He was very clear that his parents still supported him, as everything had been carried out by his fourth uncle. His parents had not said anything.

When he wanted to go to the Salt Lake remains to train, his parents asked Chen Baili for an opportunity because they supported him. The people who understood him most in the world were his parents.

Could he really cut off all ties with the Chen family? Probably not. After all, they were related by blood. Chen Zuan was not a heartless person.

When he entered the Longmen Fortress, a soldier from the Heavenly Network checked his documents and identity at the checkpoint. Chen Zuan was very cooperative. When he left, he thanked his comrades for their hard work.

But when he drove past, before he could roll up his windows, he heard someone softly say, “Wow, was that Chen Zuan?”

“Yes. You just came from the northeast, so you have never seen him before. During the battle at the Longmen Fortress, the four Rank One experts fought a Rank One patron from the Black Feather Army. When I think about that battle, I get fired up,” said another soldier.

The four Rank One experts referred to Chen Zuan, Chen Baili, Li Yixiao, and Nalan Que.

When Chen Zuan heard this, he could not help but sit up straight. His somewhat stiff expression relaxed into a smile. He softly muttered, “Am I that famous?”

The feeling of not being acknowledged by his family was like a dark cloud. Even thought he was more steadfast now, he was still affected. But when he obtained the acknowledgment of his comrades, the dark clouds dispersed.

He was sure about what path he had to embark on. It was just that no one had acknowledged him.

In the past, he had never felt that he was amazing, as he had always been by Lu Shu’s side. Lu Shu was one of the most prominent figures in the Heavenly Network, causing Chen Zuan to be overlooked.

But... he was very powerful.

He had thought about it. How good would it be if his family was able to use resources to help him obtain the position of Heavenly King?

The title of Heavenly King in the Heavenly Network was very noble. They were leaders who shone in the Heavenly Network.

His family might not have any say in promoting him to the position of Heavenly King, but if outsiders felt that the support from a top family did not mean much, then they were underestimating the power of the families.

Thus, it was as if Chen Zuan had rejected the possibility of becoming a Heavenly King.

Becoming a Heavenly King? He would talk about it if he came back alive from the Luniverse. Chen Zuan laughed as he drove.

For some reason, Chen Zuan felt that he was far away from the position of Heavenly King. Although he had the strength, he felt that he lacked something.

When he thought about this, he grew slightly dejected. After all, becoming a Heavenly King was the dream of every Practitioner in the Heavenly Network.

When Chen Zuan drove past the headquarters, he was stopped by Zhong Yutang. Chen Zuan looked up. Zhong Yutang was poking his head out of a window. “Chen Zuan, come here. We have something to discuss with you.”

Chen Zuan was puzzled. What was happening?

He stopped the car and walked up. At that moment, Chen Zuan suddenly realized that Hao Zhichao was already waiting for him at the entrance, Furthermore, he was smirking.

“What is happening?” Chen Zuan was bewildered.

When he opened the door to Zhong Yutang’s office, Chen Zuan saw Nie Ting, Shi Xuejin, Lu Shu, Lu Xiaoyu, Chen Baili, Li Yixiao, Nalan Que, and Zhong Yutang sitting inside. What was this grand formation? It was as if all the core pillars of the Heavenly Network were present.

“What are we doing?” Chen Zuan felt slightly guilty. “I didn’t commit any crimes recently, right?”

Suddenly, the door behind him opened. Cheng Qiuqiao walked in, equally dumbfounded.

Zhong Yutang looked around. Then, he said, “Shall I have the honor of announcing this?”

Nie Ting nodded his head. Everyone remained tight-lipped. Chen Zuan started to panic.

Zhong Yutang explained to Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao. “We have been discussing this for a week. You should have seen Feng Yeming and Feng Yunlu before. They are brothers.”

“Yes. Why?” Chen Zuan asked curiously.

“Back then, we desperately needed their strength to fill in the gaps in the Heavenly Network. Thus, we gave them the position of Heavenly King. But they did not want to become Heavenly Kings.” Zhong Yutang patiently explained, “They are willing to play online games, but are not willing to go out. We cannot do anything about this. They are willing to fight for the Heavenly Network, but are not willing to settle the affairs that the Heavenly Network needs to deal with. It has been over a year since they submitted their application to withdraw from their position. After serious consideration, Heavenly King Nie has given his approval.”

“Are they going to leave the Heavenly Network?” Chen Zuan was shocked.

“They are not leaving.” Hao Zhichao explained, “They are only willing to be ordinary Heavenly Network members. They do not want to handle official affairs as they do not want to waste the time they could have spent playing games. Thus, they are willing to become ordinary members. They do not want to become Heavenly Kings.”

“Oh.” Chen Zuan’s heart started to beat quickly. He knew that when this group of people gathered, something major was about to happen!

Lu Shu smiled. “Thus, after a unanimous vote, we decided to allow you and Cheng Qiuqiao to...”

Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan looked at Lu Shu. Their eyes lit up. But suddenly, Chen Zuan had an unpleasant premonition. If others had said this, there was a 90% chance that it was good news. But if it was Lu Shu telling them, he felt very uncomfortable...

Lu Shu paused. Then, he smiled. “We decided to allow you and Cheng Qiuqiao to fill in the empty Heavenly King positions. Are you willing?”

This time, Lu Shu was not joking. He did not earn distress points either. It was as if the title of Heavenly King was something even Lu Shu respected and feared. Thus, it was not appropriate for him to crack jokes under these circumstances.

Chen Zuan’s eyes suddenly turned red. “Really?”

Cheng Qiuqiao, who was beside him, was completely dumbstruck. It was as if he was shocked.

That afternoon, Chen Zuan had personally rejected support from his family. At that moment, he felt that he no longer had any fate with the position of Heavenly King. Although it was a shame and a pity, what could he do? He had his own decisions.

But at this moment, everyone in front of him was smiling at him. It was as if life had secretly prepared a surprise for him.

Nie Ting stood up. He looked amused. “Back then in the Capital, you still dared to skip the Daoyuan Class. Now, you have become a Heavenly King... but, ‘Chen Zuan is here. Whoever dares to stop me?’ This sentence was very powerful. You sounded like a Heavenly King.”

Needless to say, when Cheng Qiuqiao’s life and responsibility clashed, he chose responsibility. This was an awareness that a Heavenly King needed.

This made it sound as if Heavenly Kings had to sacrifice their lives, but they carried this belief with them. Thus, they fiercely guarded their territory.
