Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 81 The Arrival of Realm Lord Powerhouses

The monotonous voyage through the stars was gradually coming to an end.

With three days left until the final deadline, and considering that it would also take some time for the other realm lords to reach the Western Extreme Region, Perseus found a meteorite near the destination, controlled the spaceship to land, and temporarily stopped on the rocky layer above.

Then he received a communication request from the Lord of the Ancient Realm.

"Why are you contacting me at this time?"

Perseus thought for a moment, then raised his hand and clicked to confirm.

A familiar figure appeared.

"Perseus, do you have any news about that guy Bodo?"

Perseus glanced at the old man on the screen and shook his head. "I have no news of him, nor have I tried to contact him."

"What, you didn't find him...?"

"I didn't find it!" the Ancient Realm Lord interrupted.

"I haven't heard from him since he attacked you. I suspect he left to find outside help."

As he said this, the Ancient Realm Lord kept looking at Perseus.

Understanding the meaning behind his words, Perseus sneered.

"So, you're now suspecting that I'm in cahoots with that Fire Cloud Clan member from back then... Are you crazy?!"

"You didn't see how that guy has been dealing with my Xinghuo Group lately. He's like a mad dog, biting anyone he can get his hands on. I've been forced to go from the open to the covert. If you still think I'm in cahoots with them, then there's nothing I can do."

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Realm Lord couldn't help but chuckle twice.

He was aware of the current situation of Xinghuo Group.

Some time ago, several powerful realm lords from the Fire Cloud Clan descended upon the Bright Light Empire and launched a siege against the Starfire Group.

This encirclement and suppression operation has caused quite a stir!

As the targeted party, Xinghuo Group had no choice but to "sell off its assets" and relocate as quickly as possible.

Although he was unsure how much Perseus had lost by doing this, he was aware of the trade volume of the Canggu Empire as a partner.

All I can say is that there's nothing he can do to help with this.

The power struggles within the Fire Cloud Clan suggest that Perseus is still the weaker party. Even if he were to act foolishly, he wouldn't get involved in such a troublesome situation when facing several peak Realm Lords.

"I'm just checking."

"It seems my junior has already left the Canggu Empire. Since that's the case, I shouldn't press him too hard. Let's get back to our exploration of this secret realm—where are you now?"

"Within the territory of your Canggu Empire."

When it came to serious matters, Perseus's expression immediately turned serious.

"So what exactly are you thinking? You're guarding that secret realm so tightly, yet you won't tell me the coordinates directly, and you're even going to find so many realm lords at once..."

"I'll tell you the coordinates now."

Perseus looked at him speechlessly for a moment.

Is this for real?

It's not like the Immortal God Kingdom can teleport. If a Realm Lord knows the coordinates three days in advance, does that mean he can cross the starry sky and arrive at his destination directly?

Or……

"You've finally come to your senses. Now tell me the coordinates, and I'll help stabilize your clan once I've mastered the secret realm."

"You're overthinking it!"

Looking at the eloquent Perseus, the Ancient Realm Lord shook his head.

"I'm only doing this three days in advance because of our friendship. I've already set up a plan to invite many realm lords, and it's just one step away from completion. If we stop now, my Kunwu clan will truly be doomed."

Perseus's expression, however, was somewhat complicated.

To die without a burial place...hasn't that already been the case?

The Soul-Binding Wood Seal has long since infiltrated every corner of the Canggu Empire. Not only here, but even the Mingguang Empire and the Huoyun Empire have become puppets.

This time, let's just wipe out all the realm lords in one fell swoop.

"If that's the case, then tell me the coordinates!" Perseus's voice was muffled.

Seeing his reaction, the Ancient Realm Lord had no doubts. After all, if he were forced to compete with a group of Realm Lords, he wouldn't be happy either.

"The Mysterious Realm of Xuanhuang is located in the Western Regions, its specific coordinates are..."

After stating the coordinates, the Ancient Realm Lord immediately closed the communication.

Perseus frowned, because this coordinate was different from the one Bodo Sogo had given him before.

Who is lying?

After a moment, Perseus smiled and said, "Never mind."

unimportant!

Since the Ancient Realm Lord and everyone else are going to die anyway, he, as the oriole who witnessed the whole process of the mantis stalking the cicada, was there to clean up the mess.

Thinking of this, he looked towards a corner of the cabin.

"Number 1, set a time, and when it's almost time, we'll go to that secret realm."

……

Time flies by.

The once desolate western region gradually became more lively, with spaceships heading towards the same coordinates.

Finally, five months later.

Perseus was the fourth to arrive at the so-called Xuanhuang Secret Realm. At this time, several E-class spaceships were already parked in the starry sky ahead.

One of the spaceships was the Canggu Realm Lord's own spaceship.

Perseus stopped the spaceship at a distance.

The next moment, a communication request popped up, with "multi-person communication" marked in the lower corner, which seemed to be a group chat created by the Ancient Realm Lord.

Perseus raised his hand to select the connection.

Swah——

Three figures appeared in their respective areas: the Ancient Realm Lord, a strange-looking man draped in a light veil, and a blond youth.

Perseus knew that the last one was Prince Purple Iris.

The strange man was clearly not the Lord of the Thousand Dark Realm from Serpent Spirit Lake.

"Celestial Star God? White Fang?"

"Looks like you really don't use forums—"

The eerie man chuckled, clearly recognizing Perseus's 'origins'.

"It's actually the Realm Lord of the Fire Cloud Clan!"

"The forum is always lively. You're probably the only one who doesn't talk much and doesn't know many people... You must be the president of Xinghuo."

"A guy who got into a fight with his own kind."

"If you don't want your mouth, I can send you on your way right now."

Perseus now held a long spear, its tip gleaming coldly, aimed at the eerie man in the light screen.

Just as the latter narrowed his eyes, provoked by Perseus, he also had murderous intent.

"Shall we make our move now?"

Perseus looked at the Ancient Realm Lord, "What do you mean?"

"This means the Xuanhuang Secret Realm won't open for another six months, so there's no point in taking action now!"

Finally, Prince Ziyuan, who had remained silent all along, spoke.

He stared intently at the fire mark between Perseus's brows, as if he had discovered something, and his attitude toward the latter was not as arrogant as that of the otherworldly man.

Noticing this, the strange man followed his gaze.

"Is the fundamental law of fire acknowledged?"

"It seems you're not as incompetent as I thought."

"Likewise." Perseus glanced at the blue markings between the strange man's eyebrows and raised his hand to blur the communication.

The cabin fell silent once again.

Realm Lords arrived one after another from the surrounding starry sky, but because it was not yet time, they all stopped in this area.

But as time went on...

Gradually, in front of the area where the spaceship was stationary, a meteorite pillar also emitted surging energy fluctuations, and heavy streams of dark yellow gas fell down, sinking inward like a vortex, revealing an earthy yellow space, aimed at all the powerful people who wanted to enter it.

"The secret realm has opened!!!"
