Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

At this moment, all eyes were on Ling Chen after hearing the Mad Emperor's words. The gazes that fell upon him came in a plethora of emotions; there was anticipation, hope, respect, fear, and cold and calculating glints.

Even though the Mad Emperor didn't tell them anything about Ling Chen or just how strong he was, they could tell that he was a legendary Paragon realm expert after seeing the cautious look of the Emperor.

Not only that, but he was also able to easily defeat and almost kill a powerful War God realm warrior like Stellar Lord Marcus without lifting a finger.

Only a Paragon realm warrior could treat a War God realm warrior as though he was a little child without any strength or power to fight back.

The difference of power between a War God realm and a 2nd Life Transition Paragon realm was like Heaven and Earth. That's a qualitative evolution, unable to be breached.

It's common knowledge that a War God realm warrior could never beat a Paragon realm expert, not even a Semi-Paragon Realm expert stood a chance. However, in every rule, there's always an exception such as a freak of nature like Ling Chen.

As such, after knowing that Ling Chen was a 2nd Life Transition Paragon realm expert, none of them dared to breathe loudly. Some of them even felt their entire bodies become slowly drenched in a cold sweat upon realizing that.

At the same time, they also understood his nonchalant and arrogant attitude in front of the Mad Emperor. He wasn't all talk and had the strength to back his overbearing attitude. They would act the same and even worse if they were a 2nd Life Transition Paragon realm warrior.

Furthermore, they were hoping that Ling Chen would join their Verid Empire. If he were to actually join their Verid Empire and became a Guardian via the Mad Emperor's invitation, then their Verid Empire's power and influence would skyrocket.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen's lips curved upward into a light smile after hearing the Mad Emperor's honest words. Without a doubt, he was quite satisfied with the Mad Emperor's attitude.

Unfortunately, he didn't plan on working for or with any influence in the Omega Galaxy. He didn't want to be part of their power struggle.

As matter of fact, he planned on controlling all of them in the dark without their knowledge through the Akasha Spiritual World, whether it was the Verid Empire or the remaining Nine Behemoths.

His objective has always been and remained the same.

Firstly, creating a powerful universal shadowy organization to shield his children from any danger until they're strong enough to face any threat coming their way. This same shadowy organization would also be used to protect the 9th Ring of the Chaos Universe from any foreign threats.

And secondly, seeking the truth and the mystery behind his birth as well as the Dark Godly Tree within his consciousness.

None of them were things that could be accomplished easily as well as be done in one day. However, he was extremely confident in himself, confident that he could eventually accomplish both of them.

"Like I told commander Merak before, I didn't kill that man because of what he did to you and your people, I killed him because he was my mortal enemy. It was either me or him." Answered Ling Chen.

"As such, there's no need for you to thank me or reward me because I didn't do it for you. As for recruiting me, I am afraid you are not qualified."He coldly added.

"I am not looking down on the Verid Empire, but this Empire does not have the things that I desire. As for wealth and other materialistic things, I don't really care about those things. There's nothing that you could offer me that I can't get by myself."

Ling Chen's words were quite arrogant and bold and even caused some of the officials to be unhappy, but they all admitted that he was speaking the truth.

What can their Verid Empire and the Emperor offer a powerful existence such as a Paragon Realm warrior, wealth, status, power, and women?

They didn't care much about those things. And even if they did, they could go to an even more powerful influence or better yet, established their own influence.

As a 2nd Life Transition Paragon realm expert, he didn't need the help of the Verid Empire. His terrifying power was enough to deal with all the dangers in this Galaxy.

Furthermore, a supreme existence such as a Paragon realm expert was highly sought after and respected no matter where they were in the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe. No one in their right mind would dare to offend one.

This was the cruel truth. As long as one had enough strength, they would be respected no matter where they went.

At this moment, the whole room fell into a deadly silence. Whether it was the officials or the emperor, none of them said anything after hearing Ling Chen's words.

"Anyway, I am not an unreasonable and ungrateful person. I might be cruel and ruthless towards my enemies but I always pay my debts and also hate to be indebted to people." Ling Chen said after pondering for a while.

"Not only I destroyed your battleship, I even stayed in your luxurious mansion and enjoyed all your delicious food for free."

"I feel like I owe you something and I always pay my debt. I'll be staying in your mansion for two days. During that time, send me three of your most talented younger generations, and I'll bestow them the greatest opportunity of their entire life. You could even include yourself."

"Believe me, if they truly grasp that opportunity, it won't be long before your Verid Empire gives birth to three new Paragon Realm warriors." Ling Chen said with a mysterious smile on his face.

What! Blurted out the officials upon hearing Ling Chen's words. Even the emperor's eyes became wide opened and looked as though they were about to pop out of his eye sockets.

"Three.....three....Pa....Pa.....Paragons!" Some of them started stuttering after hearing Ling Chen's words which had shocked them. Others had their mouths wide opened and looked as though they had been electrocuted.

All of them knew what it meant to breakthrough the Paragon realm as well as the significance of three Paragon realm warriors to the Verid Empire.

"I don't like to force anyone. Think over it carefully; if you agree, then you know where to find me. You only have two days."

"It is up to you to take a chance. I have given you the opportunity; whether you can grasp it or not will depend on your fate." Ling Chen said before he took one last glance at the Mad Emperor and then left.
