Chapter 450: Attack of the Seven Sons
The sura elder added, "Indeed, if others were to find out that the monarch of stars didn't seek revenge for the death of his godsons, the reputation that the empire of stars received by defeating three other empires in one fell swoop will be erased completely."
The monarch of stars nodded. "No one will respect me, and no one will respect you."
The seven sura kings' faces turned serious.
The monarch of stars was right. The death of their fifth and seventh brothers was something that should have concerned them as much as their godfather.
Regardless of who the culprit behind their murders was, that culprit had to die.
Fenghe asked, "If this was a ploy by other empires to destroy the reputation of the empire of stars, what should we do?"
The monarch of stars replied, "Defeat them, of course! If you can't defeat them, I'll do so myself. No matter what, the culprit will pay for this crime.
The empire of stars has had a big victory recently, and anyone who's trying to suppress our might is only courting death. I'll back all of you up—find that culprit and kill him."
"Godfather, with your assurance, we can certainly relax."
Fenghe suspected that the deaths of his brothers could be due to other sura empires who wanted to prevent the ascendancy of the empire of stars. The empire of stars had defeated an alliance of three empires and demonstrated itself to be the strongest of the sura empires.

Moyan asked, "What if we find some evidence, but the sura empires refuse to admit what they've done?"
The monarch of stars slammed a palm on the table. "For killing my godsons, if you find even one shred of actionable evidence, I'll lead a charge against them myself!"
The seven sura kings smiled in relief. With the monarch of stars backing them up, they would have nothing to fear.
"However, I can't provide you with any support. You'll have to rely on yourselves." The monarch of stars sighed. "My enemies are lurking in the dark. I don't know who they are, nor what power they possess. I have to remain in the empire of stars in order to react instantly to an attack or another."
The sura kings nodded, finding the monarch's explanation reasonable. If the monarch of stars himself were to lead the charge against another sura empire, he would be leaving his empire undefended and open to attack.
The empire of stars could not strike, or it would leave itself undefended.
Shouta clapped his hands and smiled. "In that case, we'll have to take the lead. We won't disappoint you, Godfather—if we can't accomplish even this task, we aren't fit to be your godsons! I can handle this small city of humans, this Renhuang, myself."
He rubbed his hands in glee, unable to hide his anticipation to clash against the humans.
Shicang smiled. "Don't be too overconfident."
Everyone began to laugh—it was a joke, and interpreted as such.
As the monarch of stars began planning for the attack, the seven sura kings watched on with excitement.
Fenghe smiled maliciously. "It's been a long time since I've let out some of my older creations in the dungeon, and they're craving some fresh human blood."
Moyan was equally excited. "I wonder what beautiful eyes I'll be able to obtain? Apparently, humans have eyes of all colors."
Gaoyuan laughed. "I heard there were quite a number of alien races in Renhuang, so I can probably collect a number of interesting testicles."
Shicang added, "My troops need to be replenished as well."
Shouta cried out, "Hey, all the heads of the citizens of Renhuang are mine! You can't snatch them!"
The monarch of stars palmed his face. "All of you—my goodness, just who do all of you take after?!"
"You, of course," Fenghe replied smoothly.
They all knew that the monarch of stars was known as the beast king before his ascendance.
In his youth, he enjoyed having sex with the genetic lifeforms that roamed the second realm. He wandered the extremities of the realm for quite a long period of time, starting with regular lifeforms and subsequently moving on to mutated-, superior-, and finally peak-grade lifeforms.
Whenever he saw a lifeform he hadn't yet encountered before, he would pounce on it, defeat it, and have sex with it right then and there.
Because of his special... hobbies... he was always battling with these lifeforms, and his strength grew rapidly as a result. His unusual behavior was also what earned him the name 'beast king'.
Sometimes, the monarch of stars got tired of these beasts and set his sights on members of alien races instead. One estimate suggested that the beast king had had sex with over half the species in the second realm, and he grew so notorious that even genetic lifeforms would flee from his sight.
When the beast king built his own city, he named himself the king of stars. Because of his strength, his city quickly grew into an empire.
When their plans were finished, the monarch of stars dismissed the seven sura kings, who made their way out of the empire. The content of the meeting quickly made its way through the entire empire of stars under the auspices of the monarch of stars.
The monarch and the elders made it widely known that they were planning to attack Renhuang because, from their perspective, their target wasn't Renhuang itself, but rather the forces that were supporting it from the background.
Most humans wouldn't have any access to news from the sura empires, but certain races in the second realm did—for example, the wood spirits. A sura walked out of the empire of stars and morphed into a member of a race that bore a surprising similarity to the wood spirits.
He beckoned toward a bird and strung a note to its claws. "Tell the wood spirits that the seven sura kings of the monarch of stars will attack Renhuang."
At that moment, Zhang Lie was unaware of the sura response to his sacking of Xuechi. He was traveling through a mountain range with the members of Team Zenith as he searched for his next target.
There had been nothing pressing lately, so it was an excellent time to finish acquiring the rest of the gene fragments that he needed.
"How about this, Captain? According to the diary of the old king of Xuechi, there are three peak-grade lifeforms that live within this cave, respectively with an ice, thunder, and a wind attunement! If we can finish them all off, we'll be able to get thirty peak gene fragments at once. However, I'm not certain we'll be able to handle three such lifeforms at the same time."
"It won't be a problem. Let's attack!"
As a result, the first people who found out about the impending invasion of Renhuang were those who frequently browsed the hunters' forums and saw the newest thread that had been created.
