Chapter 1 A Royal Decree

Chen Luo was on Blue Star when a big shot in the Volsi Empire issued a notice.

"Purchasing a time-element crystal, two billion purple crystals, an imperial hereditary earldom, a 20,000-year longevity grass, conditions negotiable."

Two billion purple crystals and the longevity grass weren't the most precious; the hereditary earldom was.

It came with an annual salary, and even a King-level or God-level expert wouldn't dare to touch you. If they did, they would be hunted down by the Volsi Empire.

Even if you died, your descendants would still be earls.

Two billion purple crystals wasn't a small amount, but money became meaningless after a certain point.

Time-element crystals were extremely rare. While they had a theoretical price, they were priceless and hard to find.

The price offered by the Volsi Empire already exceeded the normal price for a time-element crystal.

Even if someone offered ten billion purple crystals for a time-element crystal, the holder would definitely choose to sell it to the Volsi Empire because it was safe. Otherwise, possessing a huge fortune would only bring disaster.

As soon as this price was announced, it caused a sensation on countless planets. A large number of people set foot on interstellar journeys, searching even harder for time-element crystals in the universe.

Shi Su wasn't isolated and naturally noticed this news.

Shi Su knew of a time-element crystal. The Bodo family told him that there was a native on Blue Star who controlled time stasis.

He had also wanted to kill Chen Luo and obtain the time-element crystal, but he failed.

That trash, Baro, was probably killed in the time stasis.

So, where was the time-element crystal? Did Chen Luo take it, bury the time-element user, or was that time-element user still alive?

No matter what, Chen Luo must know something.

After thinking for a while, Shi Su suddenly laughed wildly.

"I can't deal with you, but someone can. I just need to tell this news to Third Prince, and he will naturally ask you for it. Will you give it or not?"

"Heh heh heh heh."

The Third Prince was the big shot in the Volsi Empire who was buying the time-element crystal. He not only held a high position of power, but also controlled the Six Paths Laws.

Shi Su was excited. Was this the power of karma?

Historically, there had rarely been such a large-scale acquisition of time-element crystals, indicating the Third Prince's urgency.

"Violet was indeed moving. He told me to let nature take its course."

Shi Su murmured, "Chen Luo, will you hand it over? The conditions offered by the Third Prince are naturally extremely tempting to mortals, but for those with ambition, who wouldn't want to have a time-element crystal?"

"I bet you won't. So, as long as the Third Prince knows this news, he will definitely attack you."

"Heh heh heh heh."

Shi Su immediately chose to tell the Third Prince this news. With Shi Su's God-level status and the information about the time-element crystal, he easily met with the Third Prince.

The Third Prince looked similar to a human, extremely handsome, but his head was a bit slender compared to humans, with a pointed face.

Due to his high position and powerful strength, the Third Prince exuded an imposing aura.

In front of this person who controlled the Six Paths Laws and was also an imperial prince, Shi Su was respectful.

The Third Prince's eyes lit up. "You're saying that this Chen Luo possesses a time-element crystal?"

Shi Su respectfully said, "Yes, it's absolutely true. There is a native on Blue Star who controls time stasis."

Although Shi Su wasn't holding a time-element crystal, this news made the Third Prince's heart race.

Why was the time-element crystal so precious?

First, it could greatly extend lifespan. If one mastered time reversal and used it on themselves often, although the effect would be weak, adding a few months of lifespan each time, what if they used it every day?

Second, time was supreme. Having a time-element crystal in one's mind could also provide some resistance to time-based abilities.

Although not much, for peak experts, even a slight increase was invaluable.

Recently, the Third Prince had obtained a Blood Fusion Grass.

Normally, when a time-element crystal was implanted into one's brain, because it wasn't one's own crystal, the fusion would be very low, which was very detrimental to understanding time-based abilities.

But with this Blood Fusion Grass, the fusion of the crystal could be greatly improved.

The Blood Fusion Grass was a newly cultivated divine herb, and there was even a slight possibility that it could make an acquired crystal like a congenital one.

A crystal that was already in the brain was a congenital crystal, while a crystal transplanted later was an acquired crystal.

Acquired crystals could neither comprehend laws nor be recognized by laws, making life very important.

But now there was a glimmer of hope, and the Third Prince had to try it no matter what. If he succeeded, he might become the God of Time.

Nothing was more tempting than this.

The Third Prince smiled. "Thank you, Shi Su, for this news. If I obtain the time-element crystal based on your information, the reward will not be small."

Shi Su was overjoyed. "Thank you, Third Prince."

Shi Su told the Third Prince all of Chen Luo's information.

Becoming a god in four years, two Laws, his home on Blue Star, and Chen Luo's appearance.

The Third Prince's eyelid twitched. Two Laws in five years?

Why was he in such a high position of power in the Volsi Empire?

Because he was the most talented genius in the history of the Volsi Empire.

He comprehended the Six Paths Laws in 10,900 years and was being cultivated as a successor.

Whatever he wanted, the Volsi Empire would try its best to obtain it.

Five years? I was probably still at the Emperor-level, but he had already become a god? And with two Laws.

A hint of killing intent rose in the Third Prince's heart. How could anyone be more talented than me?

After Shi Su left, the Third Prince muttered to himself, "You better be sensible. I also want to see where your future achievements will reach, whether you are really more talented than me."

Based on the description of Chen Luo's appearance provided by Shi Su, the Third Prince immediately issued an order.

"Within the Volsi Empire's planets, if you see him, please invite him to see me."

It was an invitation, not coercion.

He would obtain the time-element crystal first.

The Volsi Empire naturally knew clearly who entered its planets. As soon as Chen Luo set foot there, they would immediately find him.

As for God-level planets, the Volsi Empire couldn't snoop, not because they couldn't, but because they shouldn't.

If they did, God-level experts would have no privacy, which would cause public outrage.

Possessing spatial teleportation, Chen Luo might also be on Blue Star. The Third Prince had two imperial God-level experts personally pilot a spaceship to see if they could find Chen Luo on Blue Star and invite him over.

Shi Su didn't tell the Third Prince that Chen Luo could use void walking under spatial collapse.

He also didn't tell the Third Prince that he was just a pawn of Violet.

Even Shi Su didn't know that Chen Luo had already mastered three Laws, and the fourth Law would be soon.

Shi Su returned to his castle, a smile appearing on his face.

"The power of karma is indeed terrifying. What a brilliant move to kill with a borrowed knife. Awesome."
