Chapter 645 The Lu Clan's Way of Life

Prince Che was once again pinned to the ground by Li An.In the Lu Clan's palace.Prince Che's brothers and sisters all wore grim expressions.The Third Prince couldn't help but look up and say, "Father, I request to fight!"Emperor Lu said indifferently, "Even if you win, what's the point?""Does it prove that Prince Che is stronger than Li An?"The Third Prince quickly added, "But if Prince Che is truly defeated in the end, and Li An is free to act, our 30 million-strong army will likely be in danger."Emperor Lu chose to remain silent, staring intently at the battlefield reflected in the Heavenly Eye, saying nothing.Beside him, the Second Prince hurriedly said to his younger brother, "Don't panic. Prince Che hasn't yet achieved his Heavenly Godhood. I don't believe he can lose to Li An after his Heavenly Godhood."At this moment, Emperor Lu suddenly spoke again, saying, "What if Li An can even defeat Prince Che after his Heavenly Godhood?""Impossible!" the Second Prince said in a deep voice, "After achieving Heavenly Godhood, Prince Che's punches will no longer consume the power accumulated from the previous punch. He will be able to amplify the opponent's power, and the Heavenly Godhood itself will also bring a comprehensive boost to Prince Che.""Li An has no chance of winning!"Emperor Lu countered, "What if Li An doesn't allow Prince Che to achieve Heavenly Godhood at all?""You…" The Second Prince's body trembled, immediately recalling the fate of the Underworld Emperor.The current Li An is many times stronger than before. If he truly uses divinity to forcefully counter… it's hard to say.Emperor Lu finally said, "If Li An truly doesn't allow Prince Che to achieve Heavenly Godhood, then I will personally open the Heavenly Gate and send you all down."These words left the princes and princesses astonished and suspicious.Conversely, if Li Anruo lets Prince Che go, then he won't send anyone down.Emperor Lu Tian said calmly, "My Lu clan warriors can die in battle, but they will never do anything that results in a complete loss of face."The Lu clan's confidence lies in the fact that others don't know what their confidence stems from.This statement sounds abstract, but it's easy to explain. For example, in this battle, the Lu clan directly deployed one-third of its national strength to participate, something other royal clans couldn't understand.They didn't understand the Lu clan's confidence.But the enemy's momentum was simply too fierce; people were afraid.If Prince Che died, and the Lu clan sent people down to rescue him, it would mean that things had exceeded Emperor Lu Tian's expectations.He miscalculated; did that mean he was truly confused?Other royal clans would have similar thoughts.Now, the other royal clans knew they were intimidated, but they dared not act, because they didn't know if the Lu clan truly had the strength or was just putting on a show because they lacked the resources.This is the Lu clan's way of dealing with the world.They can lose, they can die, but they must never show defeat. Lu Che understood this perfectly.He knew no one would help him, but he didn't need to.At this moment, he was exerting his strength with a violent expression, absorbing Li An's power while simultaneously trying to break free from his suppression.But at the same time, memories of the past echoed in his mind.More than ten years ago, Prince Che was still a child, but he already possessed innate divine strength, terrifying all the officials. Sure enough, he later received the divinely chosen, unharmed divine power.This power was perfectly suited to Prince Che's personality. Later, Prince Che displayed that terrifying power in battles large and small, a born commander, an invincible general.The future king of close combat.This title resonated with Prince Che, and he firmly believed that he was such a person. Therefore, he absolutely could not accept that a mere ant was trampling on him, and he couldn't even break free.This person's level was even lower than his own!But this day had come no accident.Years ago, upon his triumphant return, Prince Che, amidst the clamor of the crowd, arrived at the palace shirtless, sword at his side.How could royalty be so barbaric?Wearing a sword was one thing, but to be shirtless was another; such blatant disregard for etiquette sent chills down the spines of the officials who had once placed their hopes in him.Even more shockingly, Prince Che boasted that he would one day personally slay the Heavenly Emperor of the neighboring Zuo clan.Too arrogant.Yet, the Heavenly Emperor Lu did not reprimand him. Instead, he later summoned him aside and spoke to him about something extremely important, something that would profoundly impact Prince Che's entire life."The rulers of the thirteen kingdoms of the Heavenly Realm have never changed, because we are immortal kings, living as long as Heaven itself. Tell me, what is the meaning of establishing a crown prince and having children for people like us?"These two questions left Prince Che speechless.The Deer Emperor continued, "For example, the Underworld Young Emperor of the Underworld Clan possesses the power of two celestial gods.""Destruction and annihilation are perfectly aligned with the Underworld Clan's Great Dao.""Therefore, the Underworld Young Emperor is a natural vessel.""What!?" King Che exclaimed in surprise.Whose vessel?The Underworld Emperor's vessel?The Deer Emperor slowly said, "Three thousand years ago, a man appeared, called the Tyrant. He brought a sense of crisis to the Heavenly Realm.""Heavenly Emperors who normally didn't leave offspring began to have children, for the purpose of insurance.""In case we truly perish in the great calamity of heaven and earth, we will have a way out.""The reason why all the children of the Wang clan are so young, and each possesses divine power, lies in this.""Just newly born vessels." King Che felt a chill run down his spine, but he found the crux of the matter: "Who is the Tyrant?"The Deer Emperor said calmly, "That's what I'm going to tell you today.""I have many children, each with unique skills, and the eldest prince is incredibly old.""You are the youngest child, and the one I had after the Tyrant's visit to the Heavenly Realm, but you are not worthy to be my vessel."These words made King Che lower his head, a faint resentment rising within him.The Deer Emperor said calmly, "Everyone in the Heavenly Realm has a purpose.""The purpose of those lowly people is to do hard labor, though their efficiency is extremely low. The nobles can complete in the blink of an eye what takes them years to achieve.""But why do the nobles even lift a finger?""The meaning of the nobles' existence is to enjoy everything that heaven and earth have given us.""The meaning of my existence is to unify the thirteen kingdoms and become the master of the Heavenly Realm.""The meaning of your existence is to...""Listen carefully!" The Deer Emperor grabbed Che Wang's crown and said coldly, "Kill all the human descendants on whom the tyrant and his entourage placed their hopes.""That is your only meaning!"Later, Che Wang became even more brutal and bloodthirsty, because his life had been given meaning.He knew why he lived.Kill all the descendants on whom the tyrant placed his hopes!Until recent years, news of events in the mortal realm gradually reached the Heavenly Realm.Li An's victory over the Underworld Emperor excited Che Wang.The strongest in the mortal realm?This must be the person Father Emperor spoke of, the one who must be killed!As for the defeat of the Underworld Emperor, King Che was utterly disdainful. He was merely a vessel, while he himself was the true bloodthirsty warrior.Therefore, he waited day and night for the day he would descend to the mortal realm to kill Li An, and then kill those around him.Finally, the war began.
