Chapter 964: Chapter 956: The Final Victor!_1
"Who's getting nervous?"
Luo Yu straightened up.
"Cough cough."
The Supreme Elder Lord simply watched him quietly, smiling without saying a word.
As if to say,
Stop pretending, we all know what you're really like.
Luo Yu maintained his composure, eyes on his nose, nose on his heart.
Upright and unyielding in appearance.
Until the elder glanced diagonally towards the direction of Douluo Planet.
Luo Yu conceded defeat like a rooster that had lost a fight.
"Boy, what are you scared of? It's only natural for a man to have a few women."
At this moment, Emperor Qin Shi Huang arrogantly added, "Compared to my harem, you're still far behind, kid."
With someone to back him up, Luo Yu straightened his back again, cupping his fist towards Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
"I shall certainly bear that in mind and continue to work hard."
The Supreme Elder Lord shook his head repeatedly.
"The upper beam isn't straight, the lower beam is crooked."
"He isn't being taught anything good."
Emperor Qin Shi Huang said with a drone, "Venerable Sovereign, you are a man of the Tao, but this kid isn't."
"To ask him to remain pure and desireless might be harder than killing him."
The golden figure sitting askew on the Golden Cudgel scratched his cheek.
"What's so good about women?"
"None of them are as lovable as my monkey children and grandchildren."
Nezha chimed in with a laugh, "Of course The Great Saint wouldn't fancy beauties, you'd prefer a female monkey instead."
"Boom!"
In response to Nezha, a Golden Needle with golden hoops on both ends and a pure Silver color in the middle magnified rapidly in the universe, overshadowing the sun and sky.
A stick smashed down.
"Crash——"
The firmament itself was cracked open.
Nezha's whole body shone with divine light, Three Heads and Six Arms, holding a Gold Brick, Hun Tian Ling, Vajra Hoop...
He knocked back the phantom image of the Golden Cudgel that had been smashed towards him.
The phantom image of the Golden Cudgel shrank swiftly, and the golden figure of The Great Saint leapt onto it, resuming his sitting position.
"You rash monkey, starting a fight at the drop of a hat?" Nezha didn't get angry and just smirked while making a quip.
Luo Yu watched from a distance, dumbfounded.
The Supreme Elder Lord laughed and said:
"Young friend, there's no need to be so amazed, little bumps and knocks like this are quite normal."
Luo Yu swallowed hard, speechless.
"This is considered a little bump and knock?"
If that stick had hit him just now, he would probably have been instantly vaporized.
And to think that the Great Divine Power of Three Heads and Six Arms was used?
Luo Yu looked at Nezha's imposing figure with Three Heads and Six Arms and felt quite envious.
Suddenly, his own Martial Soul didn't seem so appealing.
Nothing compares to the coolness of having Three Heads and Six Arms.
This was a legendary Great Divine Power after all.
And if Three Heads and Six Arms were possible, then what about the legends of the Eight Nine Profound Art, Thirty-six Heavenly Ganges Changes, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Changes, and One Qi Transforms into Three Clears?
If he could learn a couple of those moves.
Luo Yu took a deep breath, feeling every cell in his body light up.
The Supreme Elder Lord said with a grin:
"Do you want to learn?"
Luo Yu nodded subconsciously.
Soon, he stared at the Supreme Elder Lord in shock.
He hadn't spoken just now.
Could the Venerable Sovereign read minds?
Damn it!
Then wouldn't others know whatever I'm thinking?
"Yes, they would," said the Venerable Sovereign with a nod.
"Hiss..."
Luo Yu took in a sharp breath and unconsciously stepped back.
He hadn't realized before, but Lord Laozi actually had a bit of a scheming side.
Tricky, very tricky.
Wait a second!
If he knows everything I think, then wouldn't he also know all the complaints I have in my mind?
Luo Yu quickly covered his mouth, stopping himself from thinking recklessly.
Supreme Elder Lord smiled kindly, seeming completely unconcerned about Luo Yu's thoughts and feelings.
But the more Luo Yu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
The biting kind... usually don't bark...
Luo Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he clamped his mouth shut even tighter, wishing he could slap himself.
Thinking carelessly at this time wasn't that just asking for trouble?
"Young friend, rest assured, I am not a petty person and won't hold grudges," the Venerable Sovereign said with a bit of gravity.
"Out of ten thousand and eight people chosen by the Heavenly Dao of Huaxia for transmigration, ultimately, we old folks will only choose one."
"The qi destiny of all the others will converge onto this final one," he added.
"Their qi destiny will all go to one person?" Luo Yu asked.
The Venerable Sovereign nodded.
"They were given their chance, but if they were of no use, they can't blame anyone else."
"So, the elders ultimately chose me?" Luo Yu said. Honestly, he still found it a bit surreal, hardly daring to believe that he was the final victor.
Supreme Elder Lord nodded his head.
"The other transmigrators didn't even have the qualifications to meet us."
"Since we've appeared, it naturally means we have chosen you."
Luo Yu replied with a wry smile,
"Although I am confident, to become the final one among over ten thousand people, all blessed with systems, is still somewhat unexpected."
The Venerable Sovereign laughed,
"Among these ten thousand transmigrators, most are not as strong as you, but indeed, a few have better luck and greater strength."
"However, our selection is not solely based on qi destiny and strength; we consider temperament, moral character, perceptiveness, and most importantly, one's sense of belonging to Huaxia."
"Upon gaining strength, you did not kill the innocent or bully the weak; instead, you showed respect for life, giving each and every weaker being a chance to rise up, even changing the landscape of Soul Land, reducing warfare, and uniting everyone's hearts."
"Now, the Douluo Planet no longer knows the segregation of warlords or the tyranny of the strong. Instead, it brims with vitality, with people united and evolving and developing together."
"You've done very well."
"Moreover, you stood against the abyssal plane to protect your friends, displaying loyalty and a commitment as good as gold. You even confronted the Divine Realm for your friends, choosing to shatter like jade rather than be preserved intact like a tile, refusing to surrender to the six Great Ancestors until the end, demonstrating your integrity. Such character makes you beyond reproach in our eyes."
"Even flourishing in a foreign world, you did not forget Huaxia, you did not forget that you are a part of Huaxia."
"Otherwise, from where would the Yan Huang Alliance have come?"
As these words settled, whether it was the Venerable Sovereign, the Heaven-reaching Sect Leader, or the numerous legendary figures from Huaxia's myths around them, all gazed at Luo Yu with eyes full of friendliness and admiration.
From the side, the Heaven-reaching Sect Leader said, "If we didn't appreciate you, young man, do you think you would have had the chance to see my Four Slay-Immortal Swords?"
"Without our acknowledgment, you wouldn't have had the destiny to encounter the Donghuang Bell either."
"In the end, everything you've gained would have to be taken back."
Luo Yu stood there, silent for a long time.
His nose even felt a little sour.
How could he not be moved by being recognized by Lord Laozi and all the predecessors?
He felt a surge of emotions.
Inside, a sense of pride naturally emerged.
Yes!
Through his own efforts, he had become the one chosen out of the more than ten thousand transmigrators.
Supreme Elder Lord chuckled from the side.
In fact, from the beginning, they hadn't provided any information to the more than ten thousand transmigrators; they wanted to see how they would grow in a foreign world.
To see their true selves.
And among them, Luo Yu's discernment, moral character, and emotional intelligence were the most admired by them—without exception.
Especially his unyielding spirit, which represented the ethos of the Huaxia nation, making all the legendary figures of Huaxia truly recognize and choose Luo Yu, ultimately appearing before him.
