Chapter 558: Chapter 450: Even If You’re Unwilling, You’ll Have to Swallow Your Pride and Submit!
"Huh?"
"This..."
"What?"
"Damn, this demand?"
"Is Ancestral Gods really going to be ’emperor’?"
As Lu Li expressed the desire to become the "Eternal Star Lord," the entire internet exploded instantly.
Countless netizens were utterly shocked.
The barrage comments filled the screen abruptly.
Every comment was full of shock and disbelief.
Although before the gamma-ray burst, many people had prayed for the Ancestral Gods to become the "Dictator Saint Monarch" of Earth, as though the idea of wanting to become Earth’s "Star Lord" now shouldn’t be so shocking, at that time they were desperate with the impending apocalypse, choosing this as a last resort to survive.
In fact, deep down, no one really wanted anyone to become emperor.
Later, the Ancestral Gods explicitly stated that they had no interest in dictatorial leadership.
This allowed many who had suggested bad ideas to breathe a sigh of relief.
Not to mention others who didn’t express their opinions.
And now?
The Ancestral Gods actually came forward and proposed to be the "Star Lord"!
This reversal of actions left everyone flabbergasted.
Inside, it felt as if a bomb had exploded.
Everyone was left bewildered, feeling tense.
Everyone knows the incredible power of the Ancestral Gods.
Now that they declare wanting to be the "Star Lord", it’s probably not a discussion but a notification!
What does this mean?
It means, regardless of the opposition of Earth’s eight billion people, the Ancestral Gods will proceed!
In an instant, the shadow of "feudalism" loomed over.
It made the two to three billion people watching the live broadcast, along with the helpless journalists in the banquet hall, feel as if light had vanished, and boundless night was about to descend!
After a brief uproar, everyone fell silent.
Not to mention those yearning for freedom.
Even those who previously claimed to be Lu Li’s devout followers were silent.
Being a believer is one thing.
Being ruled is another!
...
Helpless banquet hall.
Lu Li looked down at the shocked faces and sensed the changing attitudes of people worldwide, and wasn’t very surprised.
He knew well that no one wants to be ruled.
Even if he were in the shoes of ordinary people, he wouldn’t want someone like himself.
Lu Li could understand their feelings, but it didn’t mean he wouldn’t continue!
He slowly said into the microphone, "I know, many find my condition hard to accept, but it’s my only demand. If you agree, great, if not... Earth was saved by me, please move out!"
After speaking, Lu Li stood up holding the microphone, expressionlessly leaving one remark, "Three days, I give you three days to think. After three days, if anyone opposes me becoming the ’Star Lord’, please leave Earth, don’t make me do it myself. That’s all I have to say today, think it over well."
He tossed the microphone onto the interview table, his body suddenly shattered, disappearing from the camera.
Silence.
Endless silence spread.
Despite the presence of thousands of journalists in the helpless banquet hall, numerous dignitaries backstage, and hundreds of staff on-site.
Yet with so many people, no sound was emitted.
There was only the ear-piercing noise of the microphone tossed onto the interview table!
It wasn’t that the reporters didn’t want to speak, it was that they dared not speak out!
They truly didn’t expect that today Lu Li would announce such major news, to become the "Star Lord," to rule all of humanity.
This filled the hearts of on-site reporters with anger and sorrow.
However, ironically, each person was intimidated by Lu Li’s frightening power, afraid to express their inner anger and sorrow in words.
...
The reporters on-site dared not speak.
The people of countries around the globe, along with dignitaries, were already in an uproar.
Some even began to suspect that the earlier gamma-ray burst or Lu Li’s mention of "alien civilization" just now, might actually be a hoax.
A hoax orchestrated by Lu Li, prepared for his "ascension."
Old Ugly, in a certain white house.
George and a group of dignitaries just finished watching Lu Li’s press conference.
The faces of the dozen or so dignitaries present turned dark blue, their bodies trembling slightly.
Clearly, like the on-site reporters and many netizens, they couldn’t accept Lu Li’s desire to become the "Eternal Star Lord."
George didn’t speak.
The dozen or so dignitaries didn’t speak at first either.
About a minute later.
A middle-aged woman with brown skin took a deep breath and slowly said, "What should we... do?"
"What should we do?"
"Can you fight against the Ancestor?"
"Do we have any choice but to be forced to agree to his demand?"
"There is, unless you don’t want to stay on Earth, the Ancestor just made it very clear—Earth is saved by him. If we don’t agree to his demand, we must leave Earth. Honestly, by putting forward such conditions, he’s on a solid ground, we really can’t find any reason to refute him, regardless of his intentions. Earth indeed was saved by him, without him, Earth’s eight billion humans and countless creatures would likely have long been extinct. So, based on this achievement, wanting to become Earth’s ’Star Lord’ is justifiable, but for some reason, I feel something’s not quite right."
