Chapter 184 I am Lord Caesar's dog.
"Lord Caesar is truly decisive and ruthless!"
"They killed those who opposed them outright, and after taking action in such a large place as Ohm, they didn't even bother to hide the bodies. This is clearly a blatant threat, a way of making an example of someone!"
"She wanted to tell all the representatives of the forces that anyone who dared to disobey Caesar's orders would suffer the same fate as Representative Ladon, dying a violent death!"
"Everything Lord Caesar has done is for the journey to fire, for saving the world!"
"Those opponents are just as despicable as Katniss was back then, and they should all be killed!"
"That was well done! It's so satisfying!"
"I will always support Lord Caesar!!"
"Long live Caesar!"
"Lord Caesar, I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life!"
"I am Lord Caesar's dog!!"
"Lord Caesar, please conquer me!!"
The people of Douluo Continent gathered under the sky, their emotions running high and their shouts deafening.
Far from being intimidated by Cerlydella's ruthlessness, they were filled with admiration for this petite Caesar.
In everyone's eyes, Crydella, though small in stature, possessed unparalleled strategic acumen and courage.
Such ruthless methods should be used to deal with rebels, crushing their bones to dust and feeding their corpses to the fish, in order to thoroughly deter those with ill intentions.
Every previous journey to pursue the fire, every battle to defeat the Titans and seize the fire, had filled everyone with pent-up anger.
In particular, in the previous cycle, Katniss plotted to kill Aglaia and attempted to steal the Necromancer's Flame, committing heinous crimes that aroused the wrath of both gods and men.
However, the Trail Blazers had a compassionate heart and did not kill him immediately.
Ultimately, Katniss died at the hands of the Black Tide Creators, her ending abrupt and leaving countless people feeling frustrated and regretful.
Despite possessing overwhelming power, they repeatedly yielded, allowing the clown to act recklessly before their eyes.
In this cycle a thousand years ago, Kerudela's actions were so satisfying that everyone exclaimed how exhilarating it was.
With her first move, she eliminated Katniss, a major threat.
He was ruthless in dealing with any opposition to the fire-chasing campaign or those who disobeyed orders, killing them without mercy.
Such a thunderous and powerful approach stirred the blood and ignited the passion of the people on the mainland.
The worship and reverence for Krydella reached its peak in an instant.
Everyone longed to break through the sky immediately, join Caesar's Fire-Chasing Legion, and follow her to conquer all directions, sweeping away any enemy who dared to stand in her way.
"Hahaha!!!"
Inside the main hall of the Star Luo Empire's palace, the Star Luo Emperor clapped his hands and laughed heartily, his voice booming with joy.
He had always greatly admired Krydella's iron-fisted style and kingly aura.
Seeing the entire Douluo Continent cheering and submitting to Caesar's methods, his resolve deepened.
He firmly believed that if he followed Crydella's example and ruled the continent with an iron fist, he would surely achieve great success.
He wants the entire Douluo Continent to advance towards the vast outer world, with him as the absolute core.
Even though the overall strength of Douluo Continent is far inferior to that of the extraterrestrials, he will prove it with his actions and iron will.
Every living being on this continent, no matter how small or insignificant, is a part of the world and has the right to stand, speak, and fight.
As the Star Emperor finished speaking, his gaze suddenly turned downwards like a sharp blade.
She stared intently at her eldest son, Davis, and Zhu Zhuyun beside Davis.
The Star Luo Empire has always upheld the principle of strength above all else, and the law of the jungle prevails.
Even now, the people of mainland China are increasingly disdainful and dismissive of the local imperial power.
However, Emperor Xingluo still managed to attract a large number of top soul masters to serve him wholeheartedly, thanks to his unparalleled strength.
His forces are as solid as an iron barrel, far superior to the fragmented and disintegrating state of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
With a mere wave of his hand, he could summon countless elite soul masters to fight for him and conquer the world.
But his heir, Davis, remains indecisive and timid, which displeases him from the bottom of his heart.
He aspires to become the only unified emperor in the history of Douluo Continent.
His own offspring must succeed him in the future, continue his hegemony, and soar to the heavens.
But the Davis before him, in terms of both demeanor and courage, fell far short of his requirements.
He was deeply worried that Davis, with his cowardly nature, would inherit the throne.
They would probably immediately back down and kneel before a powerful being from beyond the heavens.
They even groveled and knelt at the feet of those from beyond the heavens, becoming utterly undignified vassals.
He absolutely refused to allow the foundation he had painstakingly built to become someone else's dowry in the end.
With this thought in mind, the Star Luo Emperor's gaze suddenly sharpened, turning as cold as ice, and his oppressive aura swept across the entire hall.
"Davis, as my son, you are far from qualified in my eyes!"
"I am giving you three months. You must prove to me that you are capable of taking my place!"
"Otherwise! Hmph!"
The Star Luo Emperor's final cold snort was icy and chilling, its meaning self-evident.
Given his advanced age, it would be extremely difficult for him to father another strong child.
But now the world's rules have aligned with those of outer space, and there are countless stories of people from outer space achieving immortality, eternal youth, and rejuvenation.
The divine materials and treasures from beyond the heavens are even more wondrous and infinitely powerful, capable of defying fate and changing one's destiny.
He firmly believed that as long as he could obtain even the slightest bit of extraordinary fortune, he could extend his lifespan by a thousand years and regain his youthful appearance.
At that time, having more children and expanding the family line will be an easy and effortless thing.
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun below were enveloped by the oppressive aura of the Star Luo Emperor, their bodies trembled violently, and their faces turned pale.
Davis bent his knees and immediately knelt down on one knee, lowering his head so low it was almost touching the ground.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, drawing blood, but he didn't even notice.
He knew all too well what his father wanted—absolute ruthlessness, a heartless imperial strategy.
He and Zhu Zhuyun must personally kill Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing in order to survive and retain their inheritance rights.
Despite his deep resentment and struggle, he had witnessed countless acts of deceit, fratricide, and bloodshed within the cold and cruel Star Luo royal family.
He knew that this day would come sooner or later, and for the sake of his life and future, he had no other choice.
Davis took a deep breath, nodded heavily, his voice hoarse and dry, yet unusually calm and resolute.
"Father! I understand!"
Emperor Xingluo saw that Davis had finally made up his mind, and his tense brows relaxed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But after this brief moment of relief came a deeper and stronger disappointment.
Davis and Dai Mubai grew up together and shared a deep brotherly bond, which he always witnessed and remembered.
Now, for the sake of the throne and to gain his approval, Davis has resolutely chosen to kill his own brothers, showing no regard for kinship whatsoever.
In the past, he would have been pleased with this, thinking that his son had finally developed the ruthlessness of an emperor.
But the outer screen played countless stories about resistance, mission, and the future. He had hoped that his son would awaken his rebellious spirit and break free from the shackles of royal intrigue.
He pointed his sword at him.
Surprisingly, Davis is still trapped in the old power games, lacking any vision or ambition.
Such a person, even if he were to inherit the throne by chance, might be able to barely continue down his old path, but he is destined not to go far.
They are even less capable of leading Douluo Continent to a truly new and powerful future.
