Chapter 1013: Honor Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio On the mountainside on Thunder Island, a waterfall roared down toward the enormous lake under it. There was an island with a diameter of several miles in the lake, and there, eight beings chatted with each other. "Primal Chaos City Leader is the pillar of the human race, as he's made great contributions to us! But that Blade River Emperor Luo Feng… How is he related to the contributions of Primal Chaos City Leader? Humph! Primal Chaos City Leader earned his status with his power, his battles, and his contributions… As for Luo Feng? He's just a talent being cultivated and has been using the resources of our race. I didn't see his contributions at all! Why did he get true treasures? Why did he get the beast god inheritance token!" "Talents are just consuming the resources. They actually owe something to our race." "As for us, we're earning resources for our race!" "No contributions, and he's weaker than us. How is he qualified to have our status?" A twenty-five-foot-tall being growled in anger. He had massive, strong arms and wore black armor. A huge iron hammer rested beside his seat. "What Thunder Knights said makes perfect sense!" "Yes, it makes sense!" Other universe nights nodded. "Don't talk too much," a handsome man with six pairs of wings said. He sat drinking alone. "This is arranged by Primal Chaos City Leader, after all." "Even if it's Primal Chaos City Leader's arrangement, Luo Feng should know that he isn't qualified to have a place here," Thunder Knight said in a hoarse voice. "Yet he built palaces on the mountainside. That means he believes he's qualified to have the same status as us." "Look, True Yan is here." "It's True Yan." "Stop talking. True Yan is very close with Luo Feng." All the universe knights raised their heads and saw True Yan Knight fly toward them like a beam of light. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 Thunder Island contained many great beings. The beings here formed friendships based on their varying levels. Universe knights would usually befriend each other. True Yan Knight loved making friends with others, and thus he was close to quite a few universe knights. "True Yan, come and sit down." "Yes, True Yan, sit." The universe knights were all fairly welcoming. Although they were discontent with Luo Feng, they wouldn't vent their anger on True Yan Knight. After all, True Yan's sincerity had earned him quite a few close universe knight friends these years. True Yan Knight approached the handsome man with six pairs of wings and laughed. "Blacksmith, you seem angry. Want to share with your brother? Bloody Wing Knight, do you mind giving me some of your wine?" The winged man smiled and poured some of his wine out. Bloody Wing Knight and Thunder Knight were the most powerful among the eight universe knights. "I am indeed angry," Thunder Knight said. "Do you know the news about your disciple Luo Feng?" The other seven universe knights looked at him unpleasantly, but Thunder Knight glared right back, saying, "True Yan will know anyway!" "Know what?" True Yan Knight was dazed. "Is it he who is becoming undying?" "That doesn't have anything to do with me," Thunder Knight said. "Do you know that Primal Chaos City Leader allowed him to build palaces on the mountainside—like us universe knights?" True Yan Knight was stunned. Thunder Knight continued, "He's only undying. How is he qualified to build palaces on the mountainside?" "Well—well…" True Yan Knight was rendered speechless. "Perhaps Primal Chaos City Leader has other thoughts in mind." "Whatever thoughts he has in mind, he shouldn't have done this," Thunder Knight said. "How could it convince us of his worthiness? Do you really think Luo Feng is as powerful as we are? Can you believe that?" True Yan Knight hesitated to answer. Undying fighters and universe knights were at two completely different levels. Universe knights had hundreds of times more godly power than undying fighters, and along with the huge gap in law comprehension and complexity of techniques… Universe knights, in general, were thousands of times more powerful than undying fighters, if not more so. Even for special life forms like Bark Mirror Emperor and Zhu Chong Emperor, they defeated some ordinary universe knights with their talent techniques. If it weren't for the talent techniques, the gap between their law comprehension and that of universe knights would have crushed them. Thunder Knight shook his head. "I'm not being jealous. I just care about the rules of our race. Everyone needs to follow the rules! Otherwise, how will the other great beings be convinced? It's already upset lots of great beings, but nobody dares to challenge the majesty of Primal Chaos City Leader. Hence, they all talk about it secretly and wait for your disciple to bring shame upon himself. If you really want the best for your disciple, please tell him to move off the mountainside unless he wants to be a disgrace. Besides, he just made himself an enemy of many universe knights. Isn't that getting the short end of the stick?" "Thunder is straightforward, but what he said makes perfect sense," Bloody Wing Knight said with a smiled. "True Yan, you need to think about what's best for your disciple." True Yan Knight was also upset. ****** On the open-air square of the world of glory. Luo Feng was chatting with Thousand Rain Emperor when someone landed beside him. "Luo Feng." Luo Feng looked up and was surprised. "Why have you come, teacher? I sent you an email to say that if you wanted me for something, you could go to the virtual universe and ask me and I would be there immediately." "Thousand Rain Emperor, I need to have a word with Luo Feng now," True Yan Knight said. Thousand Rain Emperor left immediately. True Yan Emperor sealed the space around him, stared at Luo Feng, and said, "I did receive your email, but some of my friends on Thunder Island dragged me into their conversation." "Friends?" Luo Feng blinked. "All because of you." True Yan Knight shook his head. "Apparently, building palaces on the mountainside of Thunder Island has upset quite a few universe knights." Luo Feng shook his head. "Do they really need to be so petty?" "That's where you're wrong." True Yan Knight frowned. "They have eternal lives, and their families have all passed away. They have been practicing for an eternity, and that is how they earned their current status! Their status and their honor might look worthless, but they value it very much. Luo Feng was astounded. "Status! Honor!" True Yan Knight whispered. "I was stuck at the invincible emperor level for an eternity, and I could only hide. Only after becoming a universe knight did I earn a high status and incredible honor! And only after that did I become famous again! Their status and glory were earned by their power and contributions to our race." True Yan Knight sighed. "What else do you think they care about aside from their status and honor?" Luo Feng now understood completely. He had been wandering in the universe for 50,000 years, but he had been observing the weak. He had only seen a few universe knights, and hence, he hadn't realized that universe knights were also living beings—just living beings with great power. They were dedicated to something they believed in. Without families, they cared about their race, status, and honor above all else. They could die for their own race! They could die for their own honor! "I now understand," Luo Feng said. "No wonder so many great beings were disappointed by this. If I were a universe knight, I would also be upset if an undying talent suddenly gained the same level of glory as me." "You're still young, and you're always at the center," True Yan Knight said. "It's normal for you not to realize that." Luo Feng nodded. Yes. Status and glory were incredibly important to a great being. If someone became undying, became a universe knight, and died without being known, it would be boring. The most exciting way was to fight for honor! For glory! "I know it." Luo Feng smiled. "I'll prove to those universe knights that I'm a qualified one. I just need to defeat a universe knight." "Defeat a universe knight?" True Yan Knight was shocked. He hadn't witnessed the scene when Luo Feng became undying, so even if he had faith in Luo Feng, he couldn't imagine an undying human being defeating a universe knight. Even Bark Mirror Emperor could only bully the most mediocre universe knights, and he was almost killed by True Yan Knight. Bark Mirror Emperor was a unique life form with a life gene level of 2,000 times. There was a huge gap between undying fighters and universe knights. "You don't believe me?" Luo Feng laughed. "Just watch." ****** On the other side of the open-air square. "Look, Bark Mirror Emperor. There's Blade River Emperor." Bark Mirror Emperor was sitting with the great beings of the Northern Territory Alliance. He looked at Luo Feng and True Yan Knight from afar. He hated both of their guts. "He is indeed more powerful." Bark Mirror Emperor sneered. "It seems that this Blade River Emperor has become undying. It's been 80,000 years. He had deep law comprehension before he became undying, yet he still chose to wait for more than 80,000 years. So patient…" "I've been waiting for 80,000 years." Bark Mirror Emperor clenched his teeth. He wasn't sure whether he could rival True Yan Knight or not. However… He was confident that he could beat the famous Blade River Emperor. "I'm undying, and you're undying as well," said Bark Mirror Emperor. "It's not bullying if I fight you myself. After all, you're the peerless talent in the universe." Bark Mirror Emperor smirked and showed his fangs. Luo Feng and True Yan Knight were standing afar while True Yan Knight stood up and disappeared. Bark Mirror Emperor approached the heirs of the Hong Alliance. "Bark Mirror Emperor is coming," someone said. "Bark Mirror Emperor is walking toward us." All the 1,000 heirs in Hong Alliance turned around, including Luo Feng.
