The quiet palace suddenly bustled but no one cheered loudly. Everyone quietly walked out of their home and approached the palace of the King of Gods. They wanted to see what would happen.

 The civilians of the palace missed the old King of Gods dearly. If not, the King’s Studies scholars would not be able to eat well by relying only on his poems.

 Although a new king had taken over 18 years ago, for some reason, the only true god to them was God Lu.

 There were some people and things that could not be replaced.

 Lu Shu walked in front. He walked through the tall, gray walls of the palace. Zhang Weiyu and the others kept a distance behind him. They looked at Lu Shu’s back. It was as if they had returned to their dazzling times.

 Although the Wei Wu Army had changed their name to the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, those who had actually experienced those times were only Liu Yizhao and the few other Imperial Palace Soldiers.

 They recalled the time they had spent in the palace of the King of Gods. Zhang Weiyu’s eyes suddenly turned red. Luckily, he had not taken off his helmet. Thus, no one knew his weakness and excitement at that moment.

 Every Imperial Palace Soldier had their hand on the World Tide at their waists. The civilians outside looked on helplessly as they walked into the palace of the King of Gods. They were going to walk into the vast main palace.

 Would the young man, who had forced gamblers in the palace to jump into the Long Yin River, rise to the position of king today?

 Everyone was uncertain but excited. Their longing for the old King of Gods suddenly made them feel that it was rather cute of Lu Shu to force the gamblers in the palace to jump into the Long Yin River…

 In the past, the people of the Luniverse liked to talk about the misdeeds that the old King of Gods had done. Over the past few hundred years, the old King of Gods seemed to have carried out many immoral acts while in plain clothing. But the civilians did not think that the old King of Gods was immoral. Their admiration towards him made them feel that this kind of King of Gods was rather cute…

 Now, when they recalled the immoral acts Lu Shu had carried out, he was as annoying as the old King of Gods…

 When they thought about this, they were even more confident.

 Lu Shu sensed that Zhang Weiyu was nervous. He did not stop walking, but smiled. “Don’t be nervous. If the mastermind is waiting for me at the palace of the King of Gods, then our job is much simpler. They will not use this place as the battlefield. They will definitely choose a place where they are at an advantage.”

 This was Lu Shu’s deduction. Would the mastermind remain in the palace of the King of Gods? Definitely not. He already had a rough guess. Although he could not confirm who was behind this, he was sure that even if there was someone in the palace of the King of Gods, they were not the actual owner.

 Lu Shu arrived at the main palace. He walked up the steps. He had sensed that there were waves of energy. Someone was there, but they were only a master realm practitioner.

 Lu Xiaoyu tried to turn the palace of the King of Gods into sand, but something unexpected happened. It was as if the palace of the King of Gods was protected by some natural law. It could not be destroyed by Anthony.

 In reality, the only person who could destroy half of the palace of the King of Gods was the head of the Sword Hut, who had advanced beyond the master realm.

 Lu Shu stood in front of the main palace and laughed. “Quit the obfuscation. Who is passing the fake imperial edicts?”

 Suddenly, someone laughed. “Why are the imperial edicts fake? The real king no longer exists in this world.”

 Lu Shu stepped into the main palace. To his shock, the person sitting on the throne was a black shadow.

 Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were all too familiar with this black shadow. It was the spirit that had appeared from the dark map! They had not expected this at all. To Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, there should only be one celestial map and one dark map left in the world.

 The previous owner of the celestial map was the old King of Gods, while the previous owner of the dark map, Lural, had reincarnated into Coral!

 Thus, there should no longer be the dark map in the world. Where did this spirit come from?

 Lu Shu looked at Coral. He realized that she was furrowing her eyebrows in deep thought.

 This was a very crucial question. Until now, Lu Shu could not figure out why Coral had reincarnated. According to Zhang Weiyu, when they charged into the palace of the King of Gods 23 years ago, Lural was nowhere to be seen. How did Lural die? Why did the old King of Gods punish so many people? In the end, the old King of Gods also reincarnated.

 Lu Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at the shadow on the throne. “Who are you?”

 He knew that someone had materialized their willpower through this spirit. Thus, this spirit was a projection of their willpower.

 “Who am I? Is that important?” The spirit laughed. “Isn’t the important question who you are?”

 The spirit seemed to be talking in riddles. But Lu Shu laughed. He did not intend on entertaining the spirit. He simply said, “I am the person who will end you.”

 “Then we’ll have to see whether you have the strength to do so.” The spirit laughed. “You still can’t do what you didn’t do 18 years ago. I have waited for 18 years for your return.”

 “Since you have waited for 18 years, why don’t you reveal yourself?” Lu Shu smiled.

 “The time is not right.” The spirit said, “Since you are waiting here, I will give you a big present. Do you want distress? I will give it to you.”

 Lu Shu was silent. This was the first time someone talked to him about distress. In the past, even the people closest to the old King of Gods did not know about this secret. Some people had predicted that the old King of Gods could kill people in exchange for power. Others had predicted that the old King of Gods could use fear to grow stronger. But they were all wrong!

 They were one-sided in their thoughts. Lu Shu could absorb all feelings of distress! Anxiety! Tension! Anger! Disappointment! Sadness! Pain! And so on!

 There was no set definition. Everything worked!

 The person in front of him was the only person who had accurately identified the concept of distress. Thus, he was the person who best understood how Lu Shu trained.

 Why did he know so much? This was the truth that Lu Shu wanted to know!

 Who understood him best? Was it his parents? No. The crux of the conflict between parents and children was because parents did not truly understand their children.

 Was it his family? No. Although they helped each other in times of need, they might forget about each other after parting ways.

 So who understood him best? It was himself.

 Lu Shu suddenly had a realization. He had thought about this before. Since the old King of Gods was invincible, who would be able to kill him?

 The only person able to kill him seemed to be himself. But behind the death that sparked world attention was another secret.

 At that moment, Lu Shu suddenly felt that Lu Xiaoyu’s gaze on him grew strange. It was as if she had recalled many things…
