Chapter 1362: Chapter 1052: You Are No Match for Yunhua Palace

Seeing Lu Chen’s serious expression, Liu Qingyun fell silent, a trace of worry flashing across her delicate face.

Deep within her heart, a voice kept urging her to stay with Lu Chen, though she wasn’t sure if it was because of some trick Lu Chen, that scoundrel, had pulled.

But now, she truly couldn’t leave Lu Chen, and with only ten thousand years left until the great calamity, if Lu Chen couldn’t survive the calamity, these ten thousand years would still leave her with many beautiful memories.

However…

Liu Qingyun thought of another problem: if she and Lu Chen created too many beautiful memories in these last ten thousand years, yet Lu Chen couldn’t survive the calamity,

how painful it would be for her to live alone in the new era.

The more beautiful things are now, the more painful it will be to live in the new era.

All the past beauty would fade away like a fleeting cloud, how could it not cause anguish?

Considering this, Liu Qingyun felt somewhat reluctant to continue entangling with Lu Chen. She was genuinely afraid that she would fall so deeply in love with this scoundrel that she couldn’t extricate herself.

Of course, the most crucial point was that with her current ability, she couldn’t be with Lu Chen.

And with Lu Chen’s ability, he also couldn’t rescue her from Yunhua Palace; if Lu Chen came to Yunhua Palace to rescue her, he might even lose his life.

So from any perspective, she and Lu Chen were unsuitable to be together.

After a long silence, Liu Qingyun spoke, “You are no match for Yunhua Palace.”

Lu Chen smiled and said, “So you are indeed worried about me.”

Liu Qingyun continued, “Yunhua Palace is a super force in the cosmos, no weaker than the Shenyue Dynasty. With your current strength, coming to Yunhua Palace looking for me is like trying to smash an egg against a stone.”

Lu Chen said lightly, “I may not be a match for Yunhua Palace now, but the future is uncertain.”

Liu Qingyun said, “I admit your talent is strong, but even if your talent is incredible, you won’t be able to grow to counter Yunhua Palace within ten thousand years.”

She had seen Lu Chen’s talent with her own eyes, truly impressive. From Liu Qingqiu’s memories, she knew Lu Chen took less than five hundred years to become a Great Emperor from birth.

But the main reason for Lu Chen’s rapid growth was probably that he was a Reincarnated Emperor. After breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm, his strength might have difficulty growing further.

Of course, if given more time, even ten thousand years, Lu Chen might still grow to the point of contending with Yunhua Palace.

But now, time was the most lacking resource, with only ten thousand years left until the great calamity. For Lu Chen to grow strong enough to contend with Yunhua Palace in ten thousand years was nearly impossible.

The strength of Yunhua Palace was not just because of its powerful inherent strength—it also had many subsidiary forces and countless allies.

How could Lu Chen’s Great Sum Dynasty contend with Yunhua Palace?

Lu Chen said, “How can you be so sure I can’t do it? You look down on your man too much.”

Liu Qingyun no longer spoke. It wasn’t that she looked down on Lu Chen; she was just analyzing from a realistic perspective.

She also understood that men sometimes cared about face. If she directly said these things, Lu Chen would find it hard to accept. But what would that change?

When Lu Chen saw Liu Qingyun stop talking, he understood that deep down, Liu Qingyun didn’t believe he could do it. Honestly, he wasn’t very confident either.

But a man can’t say he can’t do it, especially not in front of his woman. Even if he doesn’t achieve it in the end, he has to try.

Moreover, he had a system. If he didn’t dare to challenge the seemingly impossible with the system, then what was the system for?

Then Lu Chen said, “How about this? Let’s make a bet. If I don’t achieve it, we are done, but if I do it, and one day I really rescue you from Yunhua Palace, what will you do then?”

Liu Qingyun thought, talking about these things with Lu Chen now was useless. Lu Chen, being at the edge of the cosmos, couldn’t see his own strength, nor could he see the gap between the Great Sum Dynasty and Yunhua Palace.

Forget it, when he someday reaches the Central Star Domain and sees the difference between the Great Sum Dynasty and Yunhua Palace, he will realize rescuing her is utterly impossible.

By then, Lu Chen will naturally give up. There was no need to persuade him further now; let Lu Chen run into the brick wall himself.

Then Liu Qingyun said, “If one day you really rescue me from Yunhua Palace, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it.”

Lu Chen said, “Alright, it’s a deal.”

“Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s get back to what we were doing.”

Lu Chen then busied himself once again.

Meanwhile.

In the Qingyun Dynasty, on the Emperor Star.

Qi Hongguang, clad in a golden dragon robe, stood at the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, his hands behind his back, looking out at the pouring rain.

Recently, it had been raining heavily, with floods and no sunshine for over a month. The sky had been gloomy, almost like night.

At this moment, a bolt of purple lightning flashed across the dark clouds, illuminating Qi Hongguang’s stern face, making it look even more terrifying.

At that time, a guard appeared at the Imperial Study Room’s entrance, “Your Majesty, we still haven’t received any news about the Grand Ancestor.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Hongguang didn’t speak, just waved his hand.

The guard then said, “Your servant takes leave.”

Clearly, Qi Hongguang was in a foul mood, having already guessed that something had happened to Qi Zong.

A few days ago, news came that the Chiyue Dynasty had officially come under the rule of the Great Sum Dynasty. Most crucially, Pei Tianlu not only didn’t die, but the death qi on him also dissipated, and he even voluntarily swore allegiance to the Great Sum Dynasty’s Emperor.

These pieces of intelligence made Qi Hongguang realize that the Qingyun Dynasty had bumped into a steel plate.

Just the fact that the Great Sum Dynasty could heal the dying Pei Tianlu showed that the Great Sum Dynasty’s strength was not simple, and the Great Sum Emperor could not be an ordinary Great Emperor.

Now that Pei Tianlu had regained his strength, during his peak, the combined strength of the three Great Emperors of the Qingyun Dynasty was only about equal to Pei Tianlu’s.

Now, the Qingyun Dynasty had lost two Great Emperors, making it impossible to be a match for Pei Tianlu.

Though it was their home ground, with the boosting effect of the emperor’s qi fortune, Qi Hongguang still had no confidence, especially with the mysterious Great Sum Emperor.

No one knew what level of strength the Great Sum Emperor had.

If the opponent was at the Fifth Layer of the Great Emperor Realm, even with the qi fortune boost, they wouldn’t be able to resist.

At this moment, Qi Hongguang already had the idea of giving up Qingyun Dynasty and fleeing.

However, the emperor’s qi fortune was tied to him. If he fled, the sudden loss of qi fortune would bring him great trouble.

The emperor’s qi fortune wasn’t something you could abandon at will. If the emperor left the dynasty and the dynasty was destroyed, the emperor would surely face the backlash of the qi fortune, which would follow him for life, likely preventing any future breakthroughs.

As Qi Hongguang was fretting, a figure appeared beside him, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Qi Hongguang glanced at Feng Tengfei with the corner of his eye, then asked, “What is it?”

Feng Tengfei said, “A scout’s message: the Great Sum Dynasty is already mobilizing troops, preparing to attack us. Some of their starships are already on their way.”
