Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

At this time.

The only emperor still alive in the entire arena.

Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty.

thump.

Without any hesitation, Liu Bang's knees buckled in mid-air, and he knelt down heavily.

His knee slide was exceptionally clean and decisive.

He had no imperial baggage whatsoever.

"Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty is willing to lead the Han Star Region to submit to Lord Su Yu for generations!"

"I'd go through fire and water for you!"

Liu Bang's voice echoed in the silent starry sky.

It exudes an astonishing will to survive.

He is a smart man.

He was also a ruthless and capable leader who could adapt to changing circumstances.

The bodies of Qin Baye and Chu Tianjiao were not yet cold.

He knew very well that for Su Yu to kill him was no different than crushing an ant.

dignity?

In the face of life, it is worthless.

Su Yu looked at Liu Bang kneeling in the void.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, neither confirming nor denying.

Not killing him doesn't mean he couldn't be killed.

If Liu Bang also had that kind of unrealistic ambition, or showed even the slightest resistance.

Su Yu would not hesitate to fire a follow-up shot.

However, Liu Bang's sliding knee speed did save Su Yu some trouble.

Su Yu nodded slightly.

"Raise your head."

Su Yu's voice was calm.

Liu Bang trembled and cautiously raised his head to meet Su Yu's unfathomable eyes.

hum.

Su Yu slightly raised his left hand, and an obscure law rune condensed at his fingertips.

This was during the three months he spent teaching the elders at the Taichu Divine Martial Sect.

A method of confinement that I learned incidentally.

It is called the Primordial Soul Seal.

Despotism breeds resistance.

With a flick of a finger.

The talisman, in the form of a stream of light, disappeared directly into Liu Bang's brow.

Liu Bang's body jolted violently.

He felt with exceptional clarity that an indelible mark had been planted deep within his soul.

With just a thought from Su Yu, his soul would instantly collapse, leaving him without even the right to reincarnation.

Liu Bang not only did not resist, but instead kowtowed even lower.

"Thank you for bestowing the seal upon me, sir!"

Su Yu withdrew his hand, his tone calm.

"From this day forward, you will command the three major star regions."

"You will take over the territories of the Great Qin and the Great Chu."

Su Yu looked at Liu Bang and gave the order.

"I'll give you a year."

"Organize all the Star Essence Stones and top-tier resources in the three major star regions and report them to us."

"I don't care what methods you use, I just want the result."

Su Yu's goal is very clear.

He needs a massive amount of resources to deduce the cultivation technique, condense the source blood, and break through to a higher realm.

The combined resources of the three major star regions are an astronomical figure.

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Liu Bang was deeply shaken.

Unify the three major domains!

This is the grand ambition that emperors throughout history have dreamed of achieving.

Now, it has actually happened to me in this way.

Although he now has an emperor emeritus above him.

But that is an unparalleled existence capable of instantly killing a late-stage Domain Lord!

It's not shameful to be a dog for this kind of god!

"Yes, sir!"

Liu Bang answered respectfully.

But he paused, a hint of embarrassment in his voice.

"grown ups……"

"Although the emperors of Qin and Chu have fallen, there are still many old monsters in the early stages of the domain lord era guarding their respective countries."

"If I were to forcibly take over, I fear I would encounter considerable resistance."

Liu Bang understood this very well.

Although the Han Dynasty is powerful, its attempt to swallow up the other two major star regions in one fell swoop will inevitably trigger a fierce backlash.

If those old guys join forces, I won't be able to handle it.

Su Yu remained calm.

He raised his right hand and pointed out with one finger.

hum.

A dark golden spear intent containing a faint causal law flew from his fingertips and hovered quietly in front of Liu Bang.

"Take this spear intent."

Su Yu's voice carried an undeniable coldness.

"If someone doesn't comply."

"Kill."

Liu Bang stared at the spear intent emanating a destructive aura before him.

His hands trembled as he caught it.

Feel the high-dimensional will within it that is capable of erasing everything.

A tremendous storm raged in Liu Bang's heart.

He had already regarded Su Yu as the only supreme ruler in this universe.

at this time.

Liu Bang finally understood why Su Yu was able to kill Liu Zhenhai.

Even if there are ten Liu Zhenhais, or a hundred Liu Zhenhais!

Even this power that ignores cause and effect and erases everything is no match for Su Yu!

Simultaneously.

Liu Bang looked at Su Yu's calm and composed face.

Suddenly it dawned on me.

He understood why Su Yu seemed so indifferent to the Azure Spirit State Seal, a seal capable of driving a domain lord mad.

He even took it out casually.

That's damn good.

Su Yu's combat power is absolutely comparable to that of a Realm Lord!

It's even possible that they are more terrifying than ordinary realm lords!

They simply don't care about something that relies on the nation's destiny to forcibly break through to the realm master level!

As emperor, Liu Bang was certainly aware of the drawbacks of the Cangling Sheji Seal.

After all, realm lords who break through by relying on the nation's fortune can only rely on the nation's fortune to become stronger in the future.

Once a nation's fortunes decline, its moral character will also fall.

For a monster like Su Yu, who possesses unparalleled talent, using such a thing to break through would be tantamount to ruining his future.

I've figured that out.

Liu Bang's mind suddenly began to stir.

Su Yu didn't think much of it.

But he likes it!

With this seal, he could immediately break through to the realm master level and rightfully suppress the three major star regions.

Liu Bang swallowed hard.

He mustered his courage, raised his head, and tentatively asked.

"grown ups……"

"That Azure Spirit Earth Seal..."

"May I bestow this upon my subordinates?"

When Liu Bang asked that question, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He was terrified that Su Yu might get angry and stab him to death.

Su Yu lowered his eyelids slightly.

His deep gaze fell upon Liu Bang.

Just one glance.

Su Yu saw through Liu Bang's hidden ambition and desire deep in his heart.

Breakthrough to the realm master level.

To become the strongest in the open in this starry sky.

This ambition is perfectly normal.

but.

Su Yu was not afraid.

Even if Liu Bang relied on the nation's fortune to break through to the early stage of the Realm Lord, so what?

Su Yu now possesses 5.4 billion flawless source blood, plus the spear intent of the early stage of Return to Nothingness.

Even if he were a peak Realm Lord, he might still be able to put up a fight.

A realm lord who was forcibly promoted by external forces.

In Su Yu's eyes, there was no fundamental difference between him and a late-stage Domain Lord.

It's still a matter of one shot.

Su Yu looked at Liu Bang with a calm expression.

"Can."

These two seemingly casual words made Liu Bang's heart skip a beat, and a surge of joy welled up inside him.

But then...

Su Yu's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing all his hopes.

"The premise is..."

Su Yu flipped his hand over.

The Azure Spirit Seal appeared in his palm.

"You complete the task I assigned you."

"Come see me one year from now, bringing all the resources of the three star regions."

"At that time, this seal will be yours."

Su Yu put the seal away again.

A combination of kindness and severity.

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

This seal is like a carrot hanging above Liu Bang's head.

Liu Bang took a deep breath.

He knew that Su Yu had completely and firmly controlled him for the rest of his life.

But he showed no dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, he felt extremely fortunate.

I'm glad I knelt down quickly enough.

"Your subordinate will not fail in your mission!"

Liu Bang kowtowed deeply.

His voice was filled with unprecedented enthusiasm.

"Within a year, I will deliver the full extent of the resources of the three star regions to you, sir!"

Su Yu nodded slightly.

He turned away and ignored Liu Bang.

Their gazes turned towards the vast depths of the starry sky.

The格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the three major star regions was completely rewritten at this moment.
