Chapter 278 The Entire Empire Against Chen Luo

Lei Saiyin wanted to say that he was wrong to provoke Chen Luo; he could have been more patient and obtained other time-attribute crystals.

Before Lei Saiyin could answer, Leisade said, "Your mistake was concealing Chen Luo's abilities for the sake of your own face."

"If you had told us then, allowing the Empire to prepare and go all out, Chen Luo would be dead by now."

Yes, Lei Saiyin had concealed the fact that Chen Luo had snatched the item from him in plain sight, not stolen it.

Lei Saiyin weakly explained, "I thought I could eliminate Chen Luo on my own."

Lei Saiyin was completely devoid of energy and spirit, kneeling listlessly in the hall, accepting everyone's interrogation.

This caused the Great Prince and Second Prince, who were originally his rivals, to feel a bit sentimental.

Leisade asked those present, "What do you think should be done with Chen Luo?"

Leisade had asked Chen Luo to leave behind the auctioned item, but Chen Luo ignored him, infuriating Leisade.

Someone said, "This child must not be spared, or what will become of our Empire's reputation?"

Everyone agreed that Chen Luo could not be allowed to live.

"Chen Luo's Void Walk is quite unsolvable. He can use it in any situation. Normal methods are completely ineffective in stopping him."

"But, previously, Rylen's time stasis, empowered by a demigod's strength, was ineffective against Chen Luo. What other methods are there?"

An old man with upright hair snorted coldly, "That was just one person's power. What if we gathered all the time-attribute demigods we can find and used their time powers on Chen Luo simultaneously? I don't believe Chen Luo could still escape."

With Lei Saiyin's connections, he could only enlist the help of Rylen. If the Volsey Empire was determined, it could bring all the time-attribute god-level beings who had been transplanted.

Chen Luo could resist Rylen alone, but could he resist multiple people at the same time?

With multiple time-attribute demigods working together, they might not be able to control Chen Luo for a few minutes, but they could definitely do it for a dozen seconds.

Lei Saiyin couldn't help but feel sorrowful. To deal with Chen Luo, who only had four laws, they had to mobilize the entire empire.

The Great Prince stepped forward with a solemn expression and said, "I also think this Chen Luo should be eliminated. He is too unstable. Chen Luo already knows the benefits of the Enlightenment Tea. In a few days, the Enlightenment Tea will be ripe."

"If I'm not mistaken, Chen Luo will definitely go. We just need to ambush him there."

The Second Prince shook his head, "No, this plan cannot be implemented. Inviting those powerful figures who control time power will take time, and it will also take us time to get there. There isn't enough time."

The Great Prince sneered, "Yun Chuyang can use space teleportation. How could we not make it in time?"

The Second Prince spread his hands, "But where is he?"

The Great Prince's face stiffened. Yes, where was Yun Chuyang? They had originally agreed that after the auction, he would take everyone to Eugene to distribute the Enlightenment Tea.

Someone said with a wry smile, "Old Yun lost face and was ridiculed by Chen Luo in public. He's probably hiding somewhere, not seeing anyone. I just tried to contact him, but I can't reach him."

"How about taking out some more of our trump cards to lure him over?"

Everyone shook their heads. Taking them out at this time would clearly look suspicious. Unless Chen Luo was incredibly stupid or blinded by greed.

But it wasn't impossible to try. What if Chen Luo really took the bait?

At this moment, the Third Prince's communicator rang. He wanted to hang up, but when he saw who was calling, he answered it.

The voice on the other end said, "Third Prince, we have arrived at the coordinates provided by Shisu, but there is nothing here. Can you ask him again if this is really Chen Luo's hometown?"

Back then, when Lei Saiyin was looking for Chen Luo, he notified various planets on one hand and sent people to Blue Star on the other hand to see if Chen Luo was in his old nest.

Now, after more than two months, the team had only reached the vicinity of Blue Star.

Lei Saiyin felt bitter in his heart. In such a short time, he had become like this.

Leisade's eyes lit up. Everyone had something they cared about. Perhaps Chen Luo's hometown was what he cared about. They could use this to control Chen Luo.

They didn't find it?

Then they would continue searching.

Leisade personally sent another group of people to search.

Everyone suggested eliminating Chen Luo, but Leisade, who was usually decisive, was wavering.

If Chen Luo was really a space-time being, with the talent he had shown, he could really become the supreme God of Space-Time in the future.

If the plan failed again, leading to a complete falling out with Chen Luo, the future of the Volsey Empire would be doomed.

To eliminate or not to eliminate, it was too difficult.

Should they use the Other Shore Flower?

Leisade immediately denied it. Things hadn't reached that point yet.

In the end, Leisade decided to take action against Chen Luo and nip him in the bud.

They couldn't let Chen Luo grow up. How could the fate of the Empire be placed on someone else's shoulders, relying on their mood to decide whether it would exist or not?

After the meeting, Leisade asked an attendant beside him, "How is Olivia?"

The attendant sighed, "The Mermaid Queen is nearing the end of her life. It's a pity that she still hasn't found an heir with enough pure bloodline."

Leisade nodded, "When we find Yun Chuyang, have him take me to see my old friend."

...

After obtaining the Enlightenment Tree, Chen Luo immediately left Eugene's place. He had to get the Enlightenment Tree to produce Enlightenment Tea.

Chen Luo originally thought that the Enlightenment Tree would cause a ruckus after entering the Inner World, but he didn't expect it to be very quiet and even seem to be enjoying itself.

Mili leaned against the Enlightenment Tree, and the power of life in her hands continuously flowed into the Enlightenment Tree's body.

This seemed to be even more enjoyable for the Enlightenment Tree than Eugene's natural energy.

The Enlightenment Tree was more than ten meters tall, and the Inner World could completely accommodate it.

The Enlightenment Tree was at the demigod level, so it didn't need soil to survive. It just needed a regular supply of energy.

Chen Luo was very surprised. Was Mili's power that effective?

Chen Luo rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Respected Enlightenment Tree, I'm really sorry for bringing you in here. I really need Enlightenment Tea. I wonder if you could give me some Enlightenment Tea to use."

When the Enlightenment Tree saw Chen Luo, it thought, "This is the kid who ambushed me, an old comrade."

The Enlightenment Tree sent a message, dissatisfied, "No, I was frightened and can't bear fruit now. Wait three to five years."

What?

Three to five years?

There was no way Chen Luo could wait that long.

Chen Luo smiled apologetically, constantly admitting his mistakes and promising many benefits, but the Enlightenment Tree snorted coldly, "I said three years, and it's three years. If you dare to nag again, you'll have to wait another three years."

Chen Luo's face darkened.

Xiao Hong circled the Enlightenment Tree, and a distant memory surfaced in her mind.

Back then, there was someone called Brother Long who begged me to lay eggs for him to eat, but I just wouldn't, depending on my mood.

As a result, when I got to Da Gou, I immediately got slapped twice.

Did Chen Luo lack eggs back then? No, he didn't. If you dare not lay them, I'll slap you.

But now, Chen Luo really needed Enlightenment Tea and had to ask for help.

Now, Xiao Hong saw her past self in the Enlightenment Tree.

Xiao Hong tiptoed and whispered to Chen Luo, "Trust me, hit it, and it will bear fruit once a day."
