Lord of the Truth - Chapter 869

Chapter 869: Barbecue party

Old Gu remained silent for a while, watching the quiet campfire like the rest of the natives…

Sandria’s description of her planet now seemed like a real hell without any benefit, and perhaps this is true for anyone who takes it as a permanent residence, but it is definitely not so in his eyes!

During the short distance that he traveled from the abyss til here, he saw with his own eyes a huge amount of treasures enough to fill several treasuries, then what about what the southern half holds in its depths? What about the amount of treasures in the northern half with its scorching temperatures?

Old Gu could comfortably write in his report that the planet Gudah alone is capable of filling the treasury of the True Beginning Empire for thousands of years… Owning planet Gudah is like owning two huge mines of fire and ice treasures!

This place is indeed unsuitable for sustainable living, but it is ideal for a planetary empire that owns several other planets!

Excitement was filling his heart, but he remained silent… What should he say? ‘Don’t worry girl, your planet is so beautiful I want to plunder it too?’

*Step* *Step*

After the campfire was about to go out, the old man saw out of the corner of his eye several people with wolf heads struggling to bring more bones and skins to burn and put them on top of the pile, then they asked someone wearing a pile of heavy clothes to get up and do something…

That person struggled to carry all those layers of clothes, then with even greater difficulty stretched out his red hand and released a burst of crimson flames, most of which faded before reaching the bones and skin, then repeated the process a few times until the calm flames ignited the entire pile before slowly returning to his place, shivering with cold.

“We can’t use flames anymore since we’ve completed the race upgrade process, so…” Sandria smiled awkwardly.

Old Gu nodded a few times, this must be a real hell for that red human, but his presence was indispensable, there was no natural fire-lighting method that could work here. In fact, if that red human wasn’t willing to be here, it would be extremely natural for them to kidnap a handful from the other side to serve as fire-lighting slaves!

…Or maybe this is already happening, and that person is the last one of these slaves? Old Gu didn’t want to get involved in this conversation, “Your planet is really harsh on its people, I have to admit…”

After a while, Sandra sighed, “Heh~ But I guess we should be thankful for the nature of the planet as well, if it weren’t for this double hell, the Great Serpent Empire would have wiped us all out long ago.”

Then she began to remember that fateful day when those damn spaceships descended from the sky, “Those snakes are cold-blooded creatures who prefer warmer places, which is why they couldn’t stay on our side for more than a few years at a time before losing patience and retreating after any random attack from us, but unfortunately they retreat every time after looting the controlled area… and the strangest thing is that they can’t stay on the other side for long periods of time either because of the intense heat, so they have to return to their home planet for long vacations every now and then!”

Then she looked at Old Gu, “Do you believe this, uncle? Weak creatures who can’t stand either heat or cold, and they only have a drop or two of the blood of the so-called Durger the Devourer in their bodies, and yet they managed to corner us here!” Then she squeezed her hands tightly, “If it weren’t for our small numbers due to the lack of food, we would have wiped them out.”

“Oh, so that’s why? I was about to ask you why the war has dragged on so long… Right, what did your Overlord do when he learned of the invasion?” Gu asked and then waited attentively.

“We didn’t tell him.”Sandria shook her head, “The time my father spent in prison made him hesitate a hundred times to think about using that space portal again, especially since the Overlord didn’t show any regret or even mention the matter as if the one who had been imprisoned for so many years was a lost dog. In fact, after he received the race upgrading device and the manual from the Overlord, his assistants threatened my father not to get used to stepping on their sacred ground!”

“This… is strange…” Old Gu furrowed his brows again.

“I know, right? That Overlord gave us such a valuable device and didn’t ask for anything in return, and even made it difficult for us to communicate…” Sandria looked full of questions as well, “The next time we communicated with the Overlord was roughly twenty five years ago after General Haros arrived and tightened the noose around us, we had no choice but to ask for help because we were on the verge of collapse, then things got even more difficult for the expedition members, after several years part of the expedition returned carrying epic weapons.”

“Part of them…?” Old Gu asked. Sandria nodded and pushed her head into his arms more, “Yeah, my big brother was kept there, until this moment I don’t know what happened to him, but the rest of the expedition members say that he was treated well as the former mediator of Devos the Transcendent… I just hope they’re not lying and that he’s really okay.”

“The mediator? Oh right, you introduced yourself as the current mediator of Devos the Transcendent, how does that work?”

“It’s just that Devos loves peace and quiet, so he forbade us from visiting him and bothering him every day, and he chose my older sister because she was a descendant of my father, I think it was an honor for him because he is the first to transform using his blood. After my older sister died in the war, my older brother took on this task, and after he was held there in that holy land, this honor was passed on to me…” Sandria continued while leaning on her arms, “It’s not a big deal, the mediator has to collect gifts for Devos the Transcendent and bring them to him on a specific day every year, take care of his fur, ask him to fill the blood vessel if it’s empty, and summon him if an enemy gets dangerously close to the lair.”

“….” Old Gu looked left and right nervously… Did she just say summon Devos the Transcendent if an enemy gets close to the lair? Aren’t they right next to the lair now?! No wonder she wasn’t afraid of them and spoke freely…

Sandria laughed at Old Man Gu’s reaction, “I’ve answered all your questions, don’t you think you should do the same?”

“Of course, ask whatever you want!” Old Man Gu slapped his chest, he really didn’t expect her to talk to him so openly

Sandria looked back at the campfire for a few seconds, “…Tell me about your Overlord.”

“…Our Overlord?” Although Old Gu had expected that question, tongue-tied he replied, “That… Is a bit complicated”

Sandria turned to Old Man Gu with a sharp look on her face, ” I already told you everything you asked to know, and now you can’t even answer one simple question? Do you think I’m a weak girl? That I’m easy to bully?”

“Please calm down, It’s not like that! I’m really not trying to hide anything, the situation is too complicated, that’s the truth, all we know is that our Planetary Emperor has a bad relationship with his Overlord.” Old Man Gu quickly tried to improve the situation, but couldn’t find anything to say except this sentence, hoping to gain Sandria’s attention and sympathy as people in the same boat.

Sandria looked at Old Man Gu from the bottom of her eyes, “Nonsense, that armor you’re wearing isn’t something that an Overlord would give you unwillingly, even the entire Great Serpent Empire doesn’t have a single set of armor like that!”

“Oh, this? This is the creation of His Excellency our Planetary Emperor. The Overlord only gave us the method to make a space portal.” Old Man Gu laughed.

“You are spouting nonsense again, if you’re going to lie to me then at least make it make sense!” Sandria looked very annoyed, “Our Overlord didn’t give us the method to make epic weapons, he didn’t even give us the method to make ordinary high-level energy weapons, that’s how valuable this level of equipment is, and you have a hundred and twenty complete sets, that means you have a wealthy Overlord who generously supports you! How could someone from the Young Planetary Belt do something like this? Do you think I’m an idiot?”

“I’m telling the truth! Our Planetary Emperor is like no other, he’s unique in his own way… He ordered most of my family members to be killed and turned my continent upside down, yet I still respect him with all my heart.” Old Gu spoke with some pride, “Our Planetary Emperor is a Truth Law User.”

Sandria opened her eyes wide and rested her hand on the ground before falling backward, “…The Truth Law? You mean the Master Truth Law…?”

“Yes.” Old Gu nodded with a smile.

“…?!” Sandria stared into Old Man Gu’s eyes for about a minute before leaning her head back on her arms without saying a word.

The Master Law of Truth… Her father had mentioned this law shyly a long time ago, but she still remembered every detail, and even remembered how excited she felt while listening to it!

It is said that the Law of Truth is the only law that chooses its user, usually, the chosen person is someone who loves research and development and does many great things during his lifetime, it is said that the planet that a truth chosen passes through is lucky, and any empire that allies with a truth chosen for a few years will inevitably prosper… So what about an empire led by one? That sounds too scary.

“Heh~ As I told you, I don’t know much about our OverLord, all I know is that he gave a mission to our Planetary Emperor, His Excellency Robin Burton, and during that mission, a series of events occurred -that I’m not proud of- which caused the death of our Planetary Emperor’s wife and the burning of his home, so their relationship is not in the best state.” Old Gu sighed, still trying to make a personal connection with Sandria

“…Someone from the Young Planetary Belt who doesn’t have a good relationship with an overlord? AN OVERLORD?! Hehe, I can’t even imagine something like that.” Sandria laughed, “Perhaps only Master Laws’ users have such arrogance.”

Old Gu knitted his brows in annoyance.

“Oh, I apologize, I didn’t mean to offend, I’m just amazed at the status your Emperor has reached, you must feel proud to have someone like him.” Sandria muttered, “…Here we are, we don’t even know his name, even though he’s humiliated us twice, and yet none of us would open our mouths and say a word against him. Even Pythor himself, I bet he can’t fart in the presence of his Overlord.”

“…Non taken. Our Planetary Emperor is indeed a great man, in just a few decades he has established the True Beginning Empire, an entity we could never have dreamed of being linked to,” Old Man Gu nodded several times and then looked at Sandria, “And that same great person sent us to establish a good relationship with you, I really hope we complete our mission as fast as possible.”

“…Don’t worry, my father won’t make it difficult for you.” Sandria didn’t know if Old Man Gu’s words were as spontaneous or slightly threatening as she felt, but she decided to ignore it, “But I have many things to ask you until my father comes, may I? Don’t worry I won’t ask about things I shouldn’t.”

“Haha, of course, niece, of course!” Old Gu laughed loudly, “But let us have some food first, it’s been a long journey you know…”

“Oh, right away!” Sandria almost stood up but seemed to remember something and sat down weakly, “…The hunters will be back any moment now.”

She remembered that there was no food in the village…

Hunting the giant sea beasts lurking under the ice is a suicidal and terrifying mission. Only when the food supply is completely exhausted do a number of strong young men volunteer to go on a hunting trip. Going on a hunting trip today means that there is no food left in the village!

“Haha, then let us be the host today and introduce you to the delicious food of Planet Jura until your hunter returns. But then you must introduce us to your local food!” Old Gu laughed and stood up and pushed his hand towards the quiet campfire. He already understood the meaning of her response, but he didn’t want to embarrass her.

*Shwalaaaa*

The blazing white flames turned the living room into daylight. Even the smoke that was slowly seeping out of the chimney burned out and flames came out like a volcano!

“Ah!!”

More than ten thousand people with wolf heads stood in shock. Even Sandria opened her eyes wide and stood in amazement. She forgot to ask Old Gu what was going on.

*Shaaa* Then Old Man Gu lightly moved his hand and took out a mountain bear with a snake tail, more than twenty meters long and even though it was dead, the aura of a sage surrounded it, that thing was very powerful when it was alive, no doubt. And besides it was a three-horned fire deer and a giant summer grassland rabbit!

“Haha, Let’s get busy boys, help me cut up this beauty, we’re having a barbecue party tonight!” Old Man Gu laughed out loud

“Yes, sir!” The human Martial Emperors stood up and started preparing a barbecue over what was a campfire, and then the R&D team members stood up and started cutting and seasoning the food!

Sandria just stood there enjoying the view with the rest of her people inside the hall: “0o0”
