Chapter 2230: Chapter 1104: The Death of Bulo! Justice Executed

Seeing this scene, the faces of Void Yan, Qingxuan, and the others behind him twitched hard.

Because earlier Lanling had already asked them: what would be the Lunar Holy Palace’s highest ruler Bulo’s first reaction when he saw Lanling?

Put on airs? Keep silent? Or drop straight to his knees and kowtow?

The result was... drop to his knees and kowtow!

Lanling stood there without moving, as Bulo once again heavily kowtowed and said, "Your sinful minister Bulo pays respects to Your Majesty the Great Emperor, long live, long live, ten thousand years!"

Lanling laughed. "You yourself were the emperor before, right? Usurping the throne felt pretty good, huh."

Bulo kowtowed so hard he started bleeding. "This minister deserves ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths!"

Lanling ignored him and walked straight into the Lunar Holy Palace!

Bulo hurriedly got up and followed behind Lanling.

...

In the main hall of the Lunar Holy Palace, Lanling sat back on the throne again.

Lanling smiled and said, "Bulo, among all the people I’ve ever dealt with, in terms of scheming, no one surpasses you. But unfortunately, many times schemes and calculations can’t build a great enterprise. Destiny is what matters most."

Bulo kowtowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! The clownish antics of this sinful minister only invite ridicule."

Lanling continued, "When it’s an age of chaos and the world is foul and turbid, conspiracies can run rampant. But at other times, conspiracies cannot achieve the King’s Way."

Bulo kowtowed and said, "Yes, none is more sagely wise than Your Majesty."

Lanling said, "And as for so‑called destiny, half of it was Yao Xing. You were once the master of Yao Xing; destiny was originally in your hands. Why did you give it up?"

Bulo was silent for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, it was because this minister lost his faith, lost his confidence."

Lanling said, "Because the two Creator Gods are both dead, so you lost confidence?"

Bulo said, "Yes, Your Majesty! With both Creator Gods dead, as their divine agents, how could we have even a shred of hope?"

Lanling said, "On a dark road, a group of people must move forward, with abysses on both sides. Either they shrink back and do not advance, or they all fall off and die. Or, someone sacrifices himself, burns himself to light up the road ahead, letting those who come after pass safely. The Creator God, Your Majesty, did die, but it wasn’t purely a defeat, and it wasn’t a pointless death. He burned himself to illuminate those who came after. But you had no courage, no spine, only thoughts of escape. Back then it was precisely because of your escapism that seventy percent of the ten thousand Bloodline of the Void Carriers became escapists, while the remaining thirty percent who bravely persisted were instead slaughtered by you. As the highest ruler, as the leader of Dragon Demon Planet, you set a terrible example, which led Dragon Demon Planet to today’s catastrophe."

"This minister is guilty." Bulo kowtowed and said, "But at that time this minister truly could not find a way to live, could not find a direction of light. So I thought of leaping out of this Star Region to save this civilization."

"No, the one you wanted to save was not this civilization, but yourself." Lanling said, "You lost your faith in the Creator God. After you betrayed the Creator God, Yao Xing immediately left you. And with your abilities, you fundamentally could not carve a path out of this Dark Star Region. Yao Xing could pierce layer upon layer of planes, could perform space jumps, but you could not. So your so‑called drifting through the cosmic starry sea searching for dark Star Systems was entirely false. The only Star System you ever truly pinned your hopes on was Earth. And that hope‑bearing planet, Earth, wasn’t discovered by you at all; it was deduced. Because from a certain point in time onward, every master of Yao Xing came from Earth. So you knew of this life‑bearing planet Earth, but you didn’t know Earth’s coordinates, because even I don’t know them. However, Yao Xing did, because it traveled back and forth to Earth many times. Even though it lost its memories, it still had a flight path. So your copying of my soul was fake; what you really wanted was to copy Yao Xing, to obtain Yao Xing’s flight trajectory. You succeeded. Although you couldn’t copy the real Yao Xing, you used the Virtual Moon to analyze Yao Xing’s trajectory, obtained Earth’s cosmic coordinates, and the heading. So truly, in terms of scheming, no one is above you."

Bulo gradually fell silent. He raised his head and said, "My Majesty, I did nothing wrong by doing this. Because staying in the Dragon Demon Star System was utterly hopeless. I had also searched countless times for a path of salvation, but in the end found nothing but despair. So I chose this path—transforming to an energy civilization, leaping out of this Dark Star Region. Although it would sacrifice the vast majority of people, for the continuation of civilization, all of this was worth it."

Lanling said, "No, no, no. It’s not that you couldn’t find a path; it’s that you were selfish and afraid of death, not daring to walk that path. Because the path to life is often hidden within the path of death. Want to know how I survived a certain death?"

Bulo said, "This minister listens with washed ears."

Lanling said, "Going to the Void Abyss—that was one such path. Why didn’t you take it then? Because you didn’t dare. You couldn’t bear to sacrifice yourself. But why could Emperor E Tian do it? Why could the previous masters of Yao Xing before Emperor E Tian do it? They could all sacrifice themselves for Dragon Demon Planet; why couldn’t you?"

Bulo kowtowed, silently saying nothing.

Lanling said, "Back to the point, let me tell you how I survived death. In the Void Abyss, I wasn’t devoured by Void Creatures. Instead, I met Emperor E Tian, found the Creator God’s tomb, obtained the Creator God’s crown, then went to the sun—that is, the battlefield where the Creator God went on expedition against the Void Master. There, I obtained the Creator God’s power. It’s not even one percent of it, but more importantly, I obtained the Creator God’s planar divine authority."

As these words fell, Bulo collapsed into despair and knocked his head to the floor.

No wonder the Virtual Moon completely obeyed Lanling’s orders and ignored Bulo, because Lanling had obtained the divine authority of the Creator God.

And Qingxuan, Void Yan, and the rest behind him trembled violently.

Previously they’d treated Lanling like a monkey, a product of a lower civilization, because in their eyes lunar civilization was far stronger and more advanced than Dragon Demon Planet by who‑knows‑how‑many levels. So even if Lanling was the master of Dragon Demon Planet, so what? Just like Western colonizers looking at a primitive tribal Chieftain, still full of contempt. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

But now that Lanling had obtained divine authority, everything was different! That meant he was also the highest ruler of lunar civilization.

Lanling said, "Bulo, can you honestly say you never thought of this path of surviving through death that I just mentioned?"

Bulo said, "This minister thought of it, and thought of it many times."

Lanling said, "But you didn’t do it, because you didn’t dare."

Bulo kowtowed and said, "Yes, this minister didn’t dare. This minister thought his life worth a thousand gold and didn’t dare walk such a perilous path."

Lanling said, "Destiny was once in your hands, but you let it slip."

Bulo trembled. "Yes."

Lanling said, "What do you want now?"

Bulo said, "This sinful minister is willing to use the rest of his life to atone, willing to be Your Majesty’s ox and horse, willing to become Your Majesty’s most loyal slave and running dog. I only beg that Your Majesty spare this lowly life, this dog’s life!"

Bulo kowtowed frantically, until his head was covered in blood.

Qingxuan and Void Yan could hardly believe their eyes as they looked at him. Was this still that carefree, immortal‑like highest ruler? How had he become so devoid of dignity, so spineless?

Lanling looked at Bulo and sighed. "Originally it wasn’t impossible. Someone like you, I don’t really care whether you live or die. For example, Ning Wuya of the Sky Holy Palace and the others are still living well; he’s schemed against me more times than you have. But there’s far too much to handle next; I truly don’t have the energy to bother with a person like you. So better to end it once and for all with your death!"

At once Bulo shuddered violently and kowtowed desperately. "Your Majesty, spare me, spare me... I’ll be your dog, your ox and horse, spare me..."

Lanling said, "Void Yan, Qingxuan, you two carry out the sentence. Behead Bulo!"

He lightly waved his hand, withdrawing the Void Bloodline from Bulo’s body, along with his Thirteen-Star Emperor Level Cultivation Energy, turning him from the Lunar Holy Palace’s highest ruling priest into an ordinary old man.

"Go!" Lanling said coldly.

Immediately Void Yan stepped forward and pressed down Bulo’s head.

Bulo tried desperately to kowtow, howling and wailing, his whole body trembling like chaff, crying out frantically, "Your Majesty, spare me, spare me, spare this dog’s life!"

Qingxuan was also trembling all over, almost unable to breathe, even feeling that one hand couldn’t hold the greatsword; he had to use both hands to grip it.

"Do it!" Lanling said.

"Ah..." Qingxuan shouted loudly, raised the greatsword high, and hacked down fiercely at Bulo’s head.

"Swish!"

The head of the highest ruler Bulo rolled to the ground!
