The Benevolent Star Luo Royal Family? Dai Mubai's Disdain!

Chapter 85 The Benevolent Star Luo Royal Family? Dai Mubai's Disdain! (Please continue reading)

The moment the sound from the heavens rang out, the entire Douluo Continent seemed to fall into a brief moment of silence.

Even Yu Xiaogang, who had just been blasted away by lightning and looked utterly disheveled, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment and even absurdity when he heard the comments from the sky.

"kindness?"

"The ruler of the Star Luo Empire?"

In his understanding, these two words could almost never appear in the same line of text.

It's not just Yu Xiaogang.

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, almost everyone, from the main peak elders to the outer disciples, instinctively displayed the same expression upon seeing the sky: shock, confusion, and even a hint of mockery.

Throughout the entire continent, who doesn't know the rules of the Star Luo Empire's royal family?

That was a law written in blood: the throne could only be passed down to one person.

Fratricide and fratricide are not accidental, but rather a consequence of the system itself.

From the founding emperor onwards, the Xingluo royal family has practiced the method of "raising Gu," allowing their heirs to be selected as the strongest through endless competition and death.

There are only two outcomes for losers: death or a fate worse than death.

This is why almost every emperor of the Star Luo Empire was a ruthless, cold-blooded, and decisive ruler.

The word "benevolence," when applied to the Star Luo royal family, is essentially a satire of the entire system.

But now, Tianmu has brazenly bestowed these four words upon the emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

The Merciful Lord

The most selfless person

In an instant, everyone's curiosity was completely piqued by this evaluation.

Especially at this moment, outside Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire.

After many years away, Dai Mubai set foot on this land again. Standing in the shadow of the towering city wall, he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar city gate with a complex expression.

He had originally wanted to express some sentiments, but the moment the sound of the curtain fell, all his emotions were instantly shattered by those two words.

"kindness?"

Dai Mubai's lips curled into an undisguised sneer.

"If the royal family of my Star Luo Empire can be called benevolent, then..."

He looked up at the sky, his tone full of sarcasm and self-mockery.

"Then, on the entire continent, there probably won't be a single evil person left."

Standing beside him, Zhu Zhuqing maintained her usual aloof expression, but a complex emotion flickered in her dark eyes.

"That's not entirely wrong."

Her voice was soft, but it carried an undisguised disgust.

"Your Star Luo royal family are indeed ruthless."

One sentence left Dai Mubai speechless.

Because this is not an attack, but a fact.

It was during this brief silence that Dai Mubai's gaze returned to the sky, and a deeper doubt involuntarily arose in his heart.

How do kind-hearted people survive in an environment like that of the Star Luo royal family?

More importantly, if one is merciful, one can truly ascend to the throne—

Those who were forced to flee in panic back then

What am I, forced to leave for Tiandou?

"Oh----"

Dai Mubai chuckled softly, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Then let me take a good look."

"Look at how merciful my so-called ancestor is," he said, as he sat on that blood-stained throne.

There was not a trace of respect in their words.

Only deep suspicion and undisguised contempt.

She didn't care about the succession to the throne, nor did she care about the glory of the Star Luo Empire.

What she truly cared about was only one thing: how did the Star Luo Emperor, known as the benevolent ruler, treat the Zhu family back then?

The Zhu family, as vassals and victims of the Xingluo royal family, has been bound to that cruel war of succession for generations.

If Dai Longyuan was truly "merciful," does that mean that the fate of the Zhu family might have been different?

at the same time.

Inside the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong sat high on the papal throne, her gaze cold and profound.

She knew more about the sordid affairs of the Star Luo royal family than anyone else.

From the very first emperor, it was a path to kingship paved over the corpses of his own relatives.

Under such a system, "benevolence" often means being the first to be eliminated.

"kindness----"

Bibi Dong repeated the two words softly, her red lips slightly pursed.

"Is it really possible to achieve hegemony?"

For the first time, her gaze turned to the second emperor of the Star Luo Empire with genuine interest.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the scene on the sky slowly unfolded.

A magnificent yet cold palace came into view.

High walls and deep palaces, resplendent in gold and jade, yet exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

In the center of the picture is a slightly thin boy.

He was dressed simply, standing in a corner of the palace, surrounded by several richly dressed, arrogant young men.

"Dai Longyuan".

The leader spoke with a cold laugh.

"You must remember, you are just an illegitimate child."

"Does he even deserve to stand on the same side as us?"

A shrill laugh followed.

"You are destined to become nothing more than a stepping stone for us."

"Now,"

The man's tone turned serious, and his eyes became fierce.

"Kneel down."

Faced with such humiliation, Dai Longyuan in the sky showed neither anger nor resistance.

He simply stood there quietly, a gentle yet almost eerie smile slowly appearing on his face.

That smile held no resentment, no humiliation, not even the slightest hint of bitterness.

It was so calm it was unsettling.

At that moment, several princes involuntarily took a half step back.

They suddenly realized that they didn't dare to continue.

It's not out of fear of power, but the feeling of being completely seen through that instinctively instills a sense of dread.

The scene changes.

Rumors about Dai Longyuan began to spread throughout the Star Luo Imperial City.

"That illegitimate prince—isn't he a little too nice?"

"He was bullied like that, yet he could still laugh."

"What a strange person."

But gradually, this "strangeness" began to be evaluated in a different way.

kindness.

Even when humiliated or ostracized, he never retaliated or took advantage of others' misfortunes.

He would even take responsibility for other princes' mistakes.

This behavior is practically an anomaly among the Star Luo royal family.

Standing before the sky, Li Yannian watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"The Merciful Lord—"

"The most selfless person —"

He slowly shook his head, his tone filled with unspeakable emotion.

"These kinds of people are never born strong."

"Instead, they were forced to endure things that ordinary people could not endure."

Within the heavens, Dai Longyuan's path to rise has only just begun.

He left the palace, was granted the title of prince, and voluntarily distanced himself from the center of power.

But he did not enjoy the comfort.

Instead, he went down to the very bottom.

He mediates disputes between Soul Masters and civilians, comforts the people after war, and personally goes to the countryside to deal with messes that no one wants to touch.

Gradually, throughout Xingluo City, nobles and commoners alike began to sincerely believe in this prince.

It was in this atmosphere that the battle for succession in the Star Luo Empire officially began.

The scene on the dome suddenly became oppressive and tense.

Intrigue, murder, and betrayal surge beneath the surface.

Dai Longyuan, however, remained aloof throughout.

He doesn't compete, doesn't fight, and doesn't take sides.

They simply clean up the mess after each fight.

This scene, however, filled Yu Xiaogang with disdain.

"hypocritically."

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly.

"I think he's nothing but a hypocrite who's hiding his true strength."

"They feign benevolence, but in reality, they're just waiting for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow!"

Before he could finish speaking...

A deep and authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

"Shut up."

Yu Yuanba gave him a cold look, and the intent of thunder subtly flowed around him.

"Keep watching."

"I'd like to see,"

When will you truly wake up?

Yu Xiaogang trembled and immediately fell silent, daring not to say another word.

And in the sky, the legend of Dai Longyuan continues to unfold.

Is true kindness weakness, or another extreme form of strength?
