Chapter 890 - 581: Trusted Confidant (Part 2)

Therefore, Lu Li must grant substantial longevity to those who constrain the opposition, suppressing it to some extent.

This is one of the reasons why he bestowed four to five hundred years of life on Venerable Lupar.

Of course, he did not merely wish for Venerable Lupar to live just four or five hundred years, but rather ensure the ability to restrain Gu Wei indefinitely, so their lifespans wouldn’t differ too much.

Given that, why didn’t he grant Venerable Lupar a lifespan of four or five thousand years at once?

The answer is simple: Benefits cannot be given all at once.

Otherwise, who knows whether, after leaving this side of the Cosmos, they would still remain loyal to his family and friends?

Lu Li wants Venerable Lupar to understand one thing.

Only by obeying will one be able to attain endless longevity.

He believes that no creature can resist such temptation.

Sure enough, when Venerable Lupar heard that swallowing that light spot could extend his life by four or five hundred years, he immediately became excited, "Thank you, thank you for the grace, Land God."

Lu Li asserted sharply, "Since you’ve served me well, the benefits naturally won’t stop here. But if other ideas arise, you should know I’m not a benevolent person who’s easy to sway. I hope you, and the entire Milky Way Galaxy, will always be in a ’honeymoon period’ with me."

Venerable Lupar certainly knows Lu Li is not a benevolent person.

Directly exterminating a Dwarf Star System’s inhabitants, how could he be soft-hearted?

Moreover, his age and experience allowed him to vaguely understand Lu Li’s words were not only a warning but also hinted at accepting him as a confidant.

Venerable Lupar, already old, cared little for anything other than the prosperity of his family. Yet now, Lu Li has offered him four or five hundred years more life, allowing him to see hope in "living," naturally making him care about more things.

He made a decision quickly and pledged allegiance, "As long as there is a place where the Land God can use me, I am willing to lead my entire family with unwavering loyalty."

Lu Li was very satisfied with the attitude, "Good, that’s enough for me. In the future, you will represent me, Lu Li, to some extent, so feel free and bold to do anything without worry or hesitation, understand?"

Venerable Lupar replied, "Understood."

He roughly understood that Lu Li’s advice to be "fearless and bold" was aimed at Gu Wei.

Simply put, Lu Li’s intentions today were clear: on one hand, he supports Gu Wei in becoming one of the most powerful figures in the Milky Way Galaxy, yet doesn’t desire unilateral power, so someone must restrain Gu Wei, and that someone is Venerable Lupar.

Lu Li said, "Alright, that’s it, continue with your tasks."

"Land God, please wait," Venerable Lupar hurriedly called out.

Lu Li looked over, "Is there anything else?"

Venerable Lupar inquired, "The Martial Hero Race has sent a request for assistance. What should I do about it?"

Initially, he didn’t want to disturb Lu Li, only testing the waters with a brief report. Now that he’s pledged allegiance, he naturally must clarify Lu Li’s "sacred will."

Lu Li said, "You don’t have to worry, when members of the Martial Hero Race arrive, arrange for them to visit Earth. As for whether I’ll meet them, it depends on Gu Wei’s ’influence’."

Venerable Lupar fully understood that Lu Li aims to build Gu Wei’s reputation; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to hold the ground even if he becomes Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, "Alright, I’ll follow your instructions."

In the next moment, the water mirror went out.

Venerable Lupar looked at the colorful light spot still suspended mid-air.

He stretched out his slightly trembling right hand, grasped it, and then put it into his mouth, swallowing it in one go.

Suddenly, a magical power surged within him, spreading through his limbs and bones.

This sensation lasted only a moment, then Venerable Lupar felt a shudder throughout his body, all fatigue and aches vanished completely.

Moreover, although his appearance remained largely unchanged, he felt as if his bodily functions reverted to middle age.

Most importantly, for the first time in decades, Venerable Lupar felt an impulse: a desire to reproduce!

"Land God is truly magnificent!"

Venerable Lupar couldn’t help but marvel; he had not expected that Lu Li’s gift of a colorful light spot would restore his vigor!

Gaining four or five hundred more years of life!

Restoring bodily functions to middle age!

For someone who was on the verge of death, such rejuvenation was certainly exhilarating.

In this moment, his resolve to be loyal to Lu Li strengthened, deciding to unwaveringly stand by Lu Li regardless of what changes occur in the Cosmos.

"Gu Wei?"

Venerable Lupar showed a cunning glance, "I will give you a good lesson in politics on behalf of Land God!"

...

Earth, Gusu.

In the hotel, Gu Wei was preparing to rest for the night, then return to Beijing to contemplate how to increase his prestige and fulfill the task given by Lu Li.

Suddenly, the desk phone rang.

He answered it randomly, "Who is it?"

"Hello sir, I am the hotel’s reception," a young female’s voice came through, "There’s a gentleman claiming to be Fu Qin, accompanied by two aliens entirely green and somewhat resembling Xuanwu, seeking to meet you. Should I let them come up?"

The woman’s voice was trembling slightly, possibly frightened by the aliens.

Gu Wei pondered briefly, "Alright, let them come up."

He hung up the phone, sat on the sofa, and meticulously contemplated the situation.

Having left Lu Li’s room, Gu Wei knew Fu Qin would come to him.

As for the reason behind the visit, he was quite clear inside.
