Chapter 557 Chapter 557 – Surrender

“What is a Golden Knight doing here?”

Looking at Lu Yao’s actions, the people around were confused and puzzled. Although a star like this had a certain value, that was only for ordinary people.

As a Golden Knight and a prominent figure in the Star Alliance, Lu Yao did not think that a life star like this was worth mentioning at all. Normally, she would not do anything even if she saw it.

But now, she had come to this place with great fanfare. However, she did not know what exactly she was going to do. Regarding Lu Yao’s plan, the people around her were all puzzled. Only a small number of people understood why Lu Yao came to this place.

Standing outside the star in front of her, Lu Yao lowered her head and sized up the star in front of her. In her eyes, the star in front of her was so beautiful and bright. All kinds of things in it were filled with bright vitality, and there was a primitive scenery.

These were all things that ordinary people could see. But in Lu Yao’s eyes, it was another scene. The golden light covered everything, completely covering the star in front of her.

Under Lu Yao’s gaze, the star in front of her was covered by a powerful force protecting it. This force was very powerful, a kind of King’s power. If an ordinary person came here, even an expert at the level of a Five Knight would not be able to discover the truth of this place and would not be able to know the situation here.

However, Lu Yao was different. Although the power that enveloped this place was powerful, it gave Lu Yao a familiar feeling. It even came from the same source as a certain power in her body, and it was a source.

“Golden Power…”

Lu Yao looked at the stars enveloped by the Golden Power and could not help but smile, a self-deprecating look on her face. Then, she brought her followers and continued forward.

When she came, she brought many people with her. They were densely packed, like an army. However, when they went down, there were few people following Lu Yao. There were only a few followers like Ye Zi.

After decades, Ye Zi and the others had finally grown up. Although they could not be compared to a powerhouse like Lu Yao, who stood at the top of the galaxy, they were also at the Fifth Rank. They were definitely considered strong even in the galaxy. They followed Lu Yao, arriving at the star beneath their feet. Arriving here, the familiar aura was displayed, giving off a familiar feeling.

“It’s indeed the Golden Power…”

Sensing the familiar aura, Ye Zi’s expression was complicated as she muttered to herself. The stars in front of her were covered with the Golden Power. That familiar aura made Ye Zi unable to forget it, and it also reminded her of something.

And after they descended, the scene around them also began to change. In a certain area of the stars, a huge city appeared out of thin air. It released a clear signal to the people around it and informed them of its location.

With the arrival of Lu Yao and the others, the people hiding on this planet finally stopped hiding and directly revealed their headquarters.

“Looks like the owner of this place already knows that we’re here…”

Standing on the spot and sensing the aura coming from there, Lu Yao raised her head and revealed a smile. “Let’s go.” As soon as she finished speaking, she took the lead and headed toward that area. Soon, a huge city appeared before their eyes. The city in front of them was huge. It took up a huge amount of land, but it also looked complete in all aspects.

There were all sorts of instruments lying around, and there were also intelligent robots moving around, collecting all sorts of resources in the surroundings. It was filled with the aura of civilization, completely inconsistent with the desolate scene around them. Regarding this, neither Lu Yao nor Yezi was surprised.

“My king, shall we go in?”

A middle-aged man at the side spoke, looking at Lu Yao and asking respectfully. Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Lu Yao opened her mouth. She was about to reply, but she paused and looked to the side in the end.

In front of her, she saw a figure slowly walking out from within the city. It was a figure that Lu Yao and Ye Zi were somewhat familiar with. He looked like an old man, and although he was slightly lean, his aura was still strong, reaching the peak of Fifth Rank.

“Ferrier…”

Looking at the old man’s appearance, Lu Yao muttered to herself, a look of nostalgia on her face. Ferrier was someone that Lu Yao was familiar with. Back then, on the Qika planet, Ferrier stood up and helped Lu Yao a lot at the crucial moment.

He was also a follower of the Golden King, a remnant of the past era. To a certain extent, he was also Ye Zi’s teacher. A large portion of the teleportation formation that Ye Zi had learned was learned from Ferrier.

However, ever since the two of them had left the Qika star and wandered into the depths of the galaxy, Ferrier had disappeared and never appeared again. During the thirty years when the Star Alliance had defeated the Round Table and expanded greatly, Lu Yao had used the power of the Star Alliance to look for Ferrier, but in the end, she had found nothing. Now that she looked at it, he was indeed here.

“Your Highness, long time no see.”

In front of them, Ferrier walked out of the city and arrived in front of Lu Yao and Lu Yao. Then, with a respectful expression, he said,

“It’s been a long time…”

Looking at Ferrier in front of her, Lu Yao nodded. Then, she said softly, “It seems that you already know why I’m here.”

“Naturally.”

Listening to Lu Yao’s words, Ferrier revealed a bitter smile and said, “We already know why you’re here.

“The Observer is already waiting in front…”

“Hmph.”

On the side, another follower of Lu Yao snorted and said with some dissatisfaction, “Her Highness from the Star Alliance is here. Why didn’t he come out personally to welcome her? “Does he think he is a King?”

As soon as he said that, a terrifying aura spread out. The people around all showed displeasure on their faces. Pairs of eyes fell on Ferrier, giving him great pressure.

The present was different from the past. At this time, Lu Yao was no longer an ordinary girl from the past.

The current her was the Highness of the Star Alliance, known as the peak powerhouse, Golden Knight. She was also the sister of the King of Stars. She was known as the Princess of the Star Alliance who had the most hope of becoming a king in the future and becoming the ruler of the Star Alliance.

Lu Yao was definitely an honorable person with such an identity in the current galaxy. Lu Yao was definitely an honorable person. Even those top forces and civilizations did not dare to underestimate her, and they definitely had to treat her with the highest courtesy.

Being stared at by so many eyes, even Ferrier felt great pressure. After all, the strength of these followers was not weak, and none of them were weaker than the fifth rank.

Being stared at by these people, even if Ferrier were not weak, he would still feel pressure. However, he could only smile bitterly at this. Then, he explained, “I’m sorry.

“It’s not that the Observer doesn’t want to come out to welcome you, but the Observer cannot come out. He can only move around in this city.

“As for the specific situation, your highness, you will understand after you enter.”

Hearing Ferrier’s words, Lu Yao nodded and did not continue to make things difficult for him. “I understand.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the city. Then, she took a step forward. Beside her, Ferrier saw her actions and could not help but laugh bitterly. Then, he also took a step forward and followed her.

Not long after, they entered the city in front of them. The scene in the city was not bleak. On the contrary, there were many people. It was very lively around them. Pedestrians were walking around everywhere. It looked very bustling.

This situation surprised Lu Yao. She could not help but turn around and look at Ferrier.

“The people here are all descendants of the king’s followers.”

Facing Lu Yao’s gaze, Ferrier explained, “During the disaster, the Observer saved a portion of the followers. After thousands of years, the people from back then continued to multiply. Now, there are many of them.

“There are only a small number of cities here.

“There are more cities underground.”

He explained to Lu Yao.

“I see.”

Hearing Ferrier’s explanation, Lu Yao nodded. Then, she continued forward, and under Ferrier’s lead, they arrived at an area. This was the city’s core, and it was also a unique place.

The surrounding space was very spacious, and there was only one thing within the space of several hundred meters. It was an incomparably huge single eye. The single eye lay quietly in the golden original life fluid, recovering its body within it as if it had been sleeping there the entire time. Only at this moment, when Lu Yao and the others arrived, did a single eye show some reaction.

A single golden eye opened and looked at Lu Yao and the others. The aura that belonged solely to the Golden Kingspread out, enveloping the surroundings. Almost in an instant, Lu Yao’s body reacted on its own. At this moment, the Golden Mark on her forehead appeared. Her pair of eyes turned pure gold and looked directly at the single eye.

The two powerful forces collided with each other. The aura was exceptionally terrifying and made people feel as if they were suffocating. Only after a long time had passed did peace return to this place.

“Welcome, the successor of the Golden King.”

Up ahead, sensing the pure and powerful aura from Lu Yao’s body, the one-eyed creature moved and sent out a thought. With only one eye left, it naturally could not speak directly.

However, for existences like them, even if they did not have a voice organ for existences like them, it was not difficult for them to create sounds out of thin air. Lu Yao was not surprised by this. She just nodded and said, “It seems like you guys have been waiting for me to come over for a long time.”

“Of course.”

In front, the one-eyed Observer sighed and said, “Ever since your elder brother defeated the Blue Knight and established the Star Alliance, I have already noticed you.

“From that moment on, I understood that you would come here sooner or later.”

“Is it because of my elder brother’s strength?”

Lu Yao sneered. The Observer in front of her was quite direct. If Chen Heng had appeared out of nowhere, under normal circumstances, Lu Yao would most likely have been hunted down by the people of the Round Table. Her future would be bleak, so she was naturally not worth paying too much attention.

But with Chen Heng’s protection, things would be different. With the protection of an ultimate powerhouse like Chen Heng, Lu Yao would most likely be able to grow up safely and even become a top powerhouse under Chen Heng’s guidance.

At that time, the problems in the Golden Mark would most likely be discovered. Lu Yao would also rush here sooner or later.

“Your outstanding performance is also one of the reasons.”

In front of him, the Observer continued to speak without much emotion in his voice, “From the moment you used your efforts to remove the restriction of the Golden Mark, I understood your outstanding performance.”

The Golden Mark on Lu Yao’s body was essentially a gift from them. They were the ones who removed the Golden Mark, found Lu Yao, and planted it on Lu Yao’s body.

The King’s Power was naturally a great gift and opportunity. However, within this opportunity, there was also a huge restriction. The restriction within the Golden Mark had always existed, but no one had discovered it.

If it had been anyone else, it would have been fine. However, if it had been in the hands of the Observers and the others, the power given by the Golden Mark would have immediately disappeared, and it would not have been able to display its effects at all.

Even at the most critical moment, the Golden Mark would have taken away Lu Yao’s life, bringing all of her power back to the Observers and the others, becoming the resources for others to grow. Or she would have fallen under the pursuit of the Five Knights and become a sacrifice, or she would have become the sacrifice of another Golden King. This was Lu Yao’s original fate.

However, long before this, Lu Yao had already broken this fate. She did not rely on others but herself.

“This is all thanks to the pursuit of the Round Table.”

Looking at the Observers in front of her, Lu Yao’s face revealed a cold smile. “If it wasn’t for their relentless pursuit, repeatedly injuring me and breaking the Golden Mark time and time again, I might not have been able to discover the hidden problems in the Golden Mark and still be kept in the dark about the year.”

As for the hidden problems in the Golden Mark, Lu Yao had already discovered them back then. She was able to discover it was mostly because of her experience.

The bloody battle back then was too miserable, so the Golden Mark on Lu Yao’s body was broken repeatedly, and it was restored again and again.

And in the process of being broken and restored, again and again, it allowed Lu Yao to have a deeper understanding and understanding of the Golden Mark, thus successfully breaking the restrictions within.

“From this point of view, I have to thank all of you.”

Standing where she was, Lu Yao sneered and said. Regarding this point, the Observer in front could only sigh and could not say anything else regarding this point.

“I can understand your anger.”

In front, after a moment of silence, the Observer’s voice continued, “I know your purpose as well.

“However, if you want to achieve your purpose, you still have to rely on yourself.

“Back then, we had split the Golden Mark into two. One was the corner, and the other was the core.

“If the two marks wanted to be one again, the only way was to devour each other.

“And at this point, it would depend on you.”

In front of them, the Observer’s voice continued to ring out, causing Lu Yao to frown. “What should we do specifically?”

She frowned and continued to ask.

“Use your will to fight.”

The Observer’s voice continued to ring out. At this moment, he said, “In devouring the mark, not only is the mark devoured, but everything of another person is also devoured.

“If you want to devour all of this, you have to rely on everything of your own to compete.

“Whoever wins will be able to obtain everything from others and fuse the Golden Mark once again.

“The side that loses will be completely reduced to the victors’ resources and will no longer exist.”

“No longer exist?”

Standing where she was, Lu Yao sneered. “Do you know what will happen if something happens to me here?

“The King of Stars will be furious. Everyone here, including me, will not be able to survive.”

In front, the Observer’s voice continued to sound very honest, “The King of Stars’ anger will destroy even this planet. Everything left behind by the Golden King will disappear.” “Since you know this, you still dare to let me risk myself?”

Lu Yao laughed coldly and said, “Hand over the other carrier bearing the Golden Mark within three days.

“Otherwise, we will wash this place with blood, and not a single person will be left behind.”

She spoke coldly, and her voice was filled with monstrous killing intent. That kind of aura was terrifying. What required one to fight through willpower and one’s own body to fuse with the Golden Mark?

Lu Yao scoffed at this point and did not believe it at all. As the host of the Golden Mark, she knew the characteristics of the Golden Mark very well.

This thing was not difficult to take away. As long as the host that carried the Golden Mark died, the Golden Mark would naturally appear. At that time, wouldn’t it be fine to fuse with the Golden Mark?

How could there be so much nonsense from the Observer in front of her! From Lu Yao’s point of view, the Observer in front of her had said so much. He did not want her to fight with another person and fall into their trap.

Regardless of whether this was a trap, Lu Yao would not do as they wished. She was not afraid of fighting, nor would she be afraid of any duels. However, this was something that could be a trap, and she would not touch it.

The current her was no longer the one who had no backing in the past and could only rely on herself to fight. In front of her, listening to Lu Yao’s words filled with killing intent, the Observer suddenly paused and fell silent.

Lu Yao’s reaction was completely unexpected. He had said so much earlier, and based on his analysis of Lu Yao’s personality, shouldn’t she have firmly believed that she was invincible and agreed to it? How did it turn out like this? But no matter what, Lu Yao’s threat was real. The current Lu Yao was no longer the ordinary girl they used to be able to control. Not only was she as powerful as a knight of the Five Knight, but she also had the strongest supporter in the galaxy behind her. They could not afford to offend her.

“Your Highness… if we forcefully take away the mark, perhaps…”

The Observer’s voice continued to ring out in front of him. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he stopped. That was because, before his eyes, a destructive aura had appeared.

In front of him, Lu Yao’s expression was cold. A brilliant light appeared in her hand. It contained a terrifying power, as if a galaxy was flowing:
