Chapter 889 - 581: Trusted Confidant

Venerable Lupar had just returned to his bedroom and was preparing to rest for a while.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in front of his eyes, and a figure emerged amidst the fluctuation resembling a water mirror.

Venerable Lupar looked eagerly and saw that the figure appearing in the water mirror was the Cosmos’s only True God, Lu Li.

He quickly showed a respectful expression, "Land God, is there something you need from me?"

Lu Li, on the other side of the water mirror, sat on the sofa, holding a tea cup and savoring tea.

He took a sip, put the cup down, and then slowly said, "Yes, there is something I need to discuss with you."

Venerable Lupar hurriedly said, "Please go ahead."

Lu Li said, "Previously, during the ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’ primary election across planets, wasn’t I chosen as a candidate for Earth?"

Venerable Lupar smiled wryly, "It’s not just Earth; in fact, nearly half of the planets in the Milky Way Galaxy elected you as a candidate for ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’. You can imagine how this situation threw me for a loop. Since the formation of the Galaxy Alliance, there has never been such a situation. In the end, I had no choice but to list the person with the second most votes from other planets as a candidate; otherwise, the election process would be chaotic."

As he spoke, he seemed to realize something, "Of course, I sincerely hope that you, Land God, can be elected as the ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’. It’s just that there’s an issue with the process, so I must make slight corrections."

His desire was not only for Lu Li to become Lord of Ten Thousand Stars but also to go further and rule the Cosmos.

Lu Li replied with an "Hmm," "I came to discuss this matter with you."

Venerable Lupar asked, puzzled, "Do you wish to bypass the election process and directly assume the position of Lord of Ten Thousand Stars? I’m fine with that on my end. I could check with others?"

Lu Li chuckled, "Do you think I have time to be the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars? Managing an endless array of affairs is not suitable for someone like me who enjoys an idle and carefree life."

Venerable Lupar was a bit confused, "Then why did you find me..."

Lu Li explained his intention, "What I meant is that since other planets have listed the second-place holder as a candidate, Earth should also replace its candidate."

You’re truly unwilling to become the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars?

That’s the supreme power dreamt of by everyone!

Venerable Lupar felt very disappointed.

He truly wanted Lu Li to become the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars and even rule the Cosmos.

Yet, since the other party was unwilling, Venerable Lupar couldn’t say much more.

He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then I’ll discuss with the cabinet and list the second-place holder as the candidate."

"No." Lu Li shook his head, "What I mean is, I will designate someone to be the candidate and let him participate in the election on my behalf."

"What?" Venerable Lupar was truly confused this time, "What do you mean? Could you explain it in detail?"

Just as Lu Li was about to speak, Puer came floating over.

He reached out and pointed to his shoulder, and Puer obediently perched on it.

Lu Li looked at Venerable Lupar again, "My meaning is simple: designate someone to run for ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’ on my behalf, and should he genuinely excel, he will also become the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars and represent me fully."

Venerable Lupar’s eyes widened, a hint of excitement filled his voice, "You will indirectly be the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars?"

"Exactly!" Lu Li replied directly, "If there’s anything significant in the Milky Way Galaxy, I’ll handle it personally. As for routine duties, administration, personnel deployment, and other work associated with the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, my designated person will fulfill those responsibilities. Even if you want to expand territories, either I or the Superpower Corps can assist, is that clear now?"

Understood!

You’ve explained it so thoroughly; how could I not understand?

Venerable Lupar felt as if he was dreaming, never expecting Lu Li to willingly be the indirect Lord of Ten Thousand Stars.

Although this arrangement doesn’t hold the same level of deterrence as directly assuming the role, at least the Galaxy Alliance securely holds onto Lu Li’s formidable leg and will never need to heed the whims of any race in the Cosmos again, even the Martial Hero Race!

Venerable Lupar responded without hesitation, "Alright, I will promptly handle this matter, but who is the person Land God designates?"

Lu Li pointed with his finger, and Gu Wei’s holographic image appeared instantly in the water mirror, "His name is Gu Wei; he is from Huaxia. I will send over the information shortly."

Venerable Lupar said, "Alright, I will immediately convene a cabinet meeting."

"No rush." Lu Li waved his hand, and Gu Wei’s holographic image disappeared. He pointed into the air, and a speck of colorful light the size of a grain of rice broke through the water mirror, appearing before Venerable Lupar, "You are handling matters for me, and of course, I wouldn’t treat you unfairly. This is the Source of Life. Later, gulp it down. Although I can’t promise it will rejuvenate you completely, you’ll live for at least another 400 to 500 years, and in the days ahead, you’ll definitely be full of vigor."

Previously, he could only grant relatively long life to carbon-based life forms.

Since comprehending the laws, all has changed.

As long as it’s a creature of this Cosmos, he can bestow longevity upon them all.

The reason Lu Li decided to grant Venerable Lupar longevity is to ensure he restrains Gu Wei to some extent.

Otherwise, if power is concentrated in one entity, Gu Wei might not be obedient in the future.

Additionally, granting Venerable Lupar four to five hundred years of life isn’t an impulse but rather a deeply considered choice.

Gu Wei has consumed the peach of immortality that grants a lifespan of five thousand four hundred years.

So, after his fifty-year tenure expires, leveraging the influence of a former ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars,’ he could still construct a massive power.

Especially with a lifespan of five thousand four hundred years, it’s sufficient for him to build the largest family power in the Milky Way Galaxy.
