1049 The Divine Fruit Banquet with No Good Intentions
On the Mythical Battlefield, the Heaven’s Favourites of all races were burning with passion. The ambition in their eyes could not be concealed.

Many Heaven’s Favourites and powerhouses of the various races were indignant about the Human race occupying the top of the list on the World Myriad Spirit Ranking. They believed that the Human race was not qualified to obtain such an honor at all. It was a stolen position that was obtained purely by luck. The true powerhouses of the Human race could never be compared to the various powerful races.

Now that the Divine Fruit Banquet had appeared, it was destined to become a gathering place. At that time, it would be a good time to test the quality of the Human race.
“What a Divine Fruit Banquet that invites all the Heaven’s Favourites of the World Myriad races. Who exactly is this Stone Emperor to have such a great spirit? With him hosting the Divine Fruit Banquet, does he sees himself as superior to all the Heaven’s Favourites of the various races? What right does he have to invite all the Heaven’s Favourites of the world?”

Some of the proud Heaven’s Favourites of the various races felt a trace of dissatisfaction in their hearts.

In their opinion, the Stone Emperor invited everyone to the banquet because he wanted to be the King of Heaven’s Favourites.

No one knew exactly what race the Stone Emperor was from or how strong he was. Naturally, none of those powerful Heaven’s Favourites were convinced. However, it was precisely because of that that they wanted to go to the Divine Fruit Banquet and take a look.

“Divine Fruit Banquet. The Stone Emperor actually sent an invitation specifically to us Human race. There’s a deeper meaning behind this. Once we go, our Human race’s Heaven’s Favourites will definitely be targeted. Moreover, we may even die battling on the Spiritual Mountain. Even if we survive, we will still be humiliated. However, the invitation has already been sent out. If the Human race doesn’t go, won’t it mean that we Human race has nobody and are all afraid? If that’s the case, our Human race’s face will be completely lost. And us taking the top of the list will be even more questionable.”

“We can lose our lives, but we can’t lose the face of the Human race. Even if we die on the Spiritual Mountain this time, we can’t tarnish the reputation of our Human race. Moreover, our Human Race’s Heaven’s Favourites have never been weaker than the other foreign races. If we don’t fight, we will never know who’s stronger or weaker.”

“I, Xiang Yu, will go and meet these Heaven’s Favourites and see who in the world can be my enemy.”

“This Divine Fruit Banquet is too dangerous. The Heaven’s Favourites of the foreign races are all gathered there. If we go, we will definitely be targeted by the other races. That will be putting us in danger. I, Liu Bang, don’t like to put myself in danger. As the saying goes, the rich will not sit near the ledge. Whether to go or not, I still have to think about it carefully.”

That news not only caused an uproar among the Heaven’s Favourites of the World Myriad races, but it also caused many of the Human race powerhouses and Overlords of a Region to have various thoughts.

Some of them decided to go there on the spot. Even if they died in battle, it would be better than no one going to the Divine Fruit Banquet and being laughed at by the Myriad races. Some of them hesitated. They believed choosing to go despite knowing there were dangers was the most unwise choice. It was completely unnecessary.

That banquet was definitely held with no good intentions. There was a 99% chance that it would be a trap.

“Is the Divine Fruit Banquet trying to force the Human race to abdicate? They’re using the power of this event to force the Human race to go. Once no one goes, the Human race’s momentum will definitely decrease. This time, we have yet to reap any benefits from being on the top of the list and have to bear a huge risk. Once things go wrong, we will experience a backlash from the Myriad races.”

“However, the ultimate goal is probably to force me out. I received a reward from Heaven and Earth. Although that divine light only flashed briefly, its Qi dynamics were enough for those Heaven’s Favourites to guess that it must be a rare treasure. They’ll inevitably covet it.”

Li Xiang looked up at the phantom of the Spiritual Mountain that was gradually dissipating in the void. He understood everything clearly and thought, “However, if you want to invite me to the banquet, then I can only apologize if any trouble is caused. In the previous life, the Great Sage had caused a ruckus at the Feast of Peaches, so why can’t I cause a ruckus at the Divine Fruit Banquet in this life? If you dare to show hostility, I’ll turn your Divine Fruit Banquet into a funeral banquet! Three months? One can change drastically even after three days, let alone three months.”

When he heard about the Divine Fruit Banquet, Li Xiang immediately realized it. There was a 99% chance that that banquet had no good intentions. However, if he cowered, it would completely go against his nature. Even if he could get through it without any danger, he would not be able to get over it in the future.

Moreover, Li Xiang didn’t think he was inferior to any of the Heaven’s Favourites. In fact, he felt that his foundation was enough to be second to none among the Myriad races’ Heaven’s Favourites.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in front of the Castellan’s mansion.

Outside, Yao Yue and Lian Xing walked in. One was cold, and the other was quiet. It was perfect scenery when they walked together.

“Lord of Dawn, you should have heard the invitation to the Divine Fruit Banquet. What are your plans? Are you going?”

Yao Yue asked Li Xiang when she saw him.

In terms of address, according to Yao Yue’s generation, they should address Li Xiang as their husband. However, they did not address him that way, but they did not show any distance from him as well. They addressed him as the Lord of Dawn, but there was still a hint of closeness in their tone.

“That’s right. This Divine Fruit Banquet doesn’t have good intentions. Once we go, they will definitely target our Human race Heaven’s Favourites and powerhouses. If you go, you will definitely be suppressed and targeted.” Lian Xing’s gentle voice rang out.

One could tell at a glance that that matter was definitely a trap. It was an ill-willed banquet.

Upon hearing the news of the banquet, Yao Yue and Lian Xing immediately returned to the Castellan’s mansion. With Li Xiang’s cultivation and strength, he was definitely a Heaven’s Favourite-level powerhouse among the Human race. He was also the Luck Dynasty’s ruler, the world’s first Luck Dynasty. He was also the top powerhouse among the Human race. It was absolutely impossible not to make a choice for such a banquet.

Moreover, based on their understanding of Li Xiang, they feared that he would choose to attend the banquet.

“A real man has things that he should and should not do. I am the Lord of Dawn. Although my well-being concerns my people’s fate, I am also a member of the Human race. In the face of such a situation, if I cower in fear, endure the humiliation, and live in vain, what right do I have to continue being the ruler of a country? As an emperor, there is no way for me to back down when it came to matters of right and wrong.”

Li Xiang shook his head.

As the ruler of a country, he was in charge of the well-being of the people. The longer he walked the path of the Luck Dynasty, the deeper and stronger his comprehension of the path of the Luck Dynasty would be. It was a path that needed him to advance without retreating. He could avoid small matters, but when it came to the honor and disgrace of the Human race, he would lose his chance to advance if he made a wrong choice.

An emperor cannot be demoralized.

Yao Yue’s eyes sparkled when she heard Li Xiang’s words. As the ruler of a country, he still dared to put himself in danger. He was not stupid. He had to do it.

“Since you want to go, then bring me along. Other people can go to the Heaven’s Favourite banquet. Why can’t I, Yao Yue, go?”

“Yes, I’ll go too. I’ll go wherever my sister goes.”

Lian Xing bit her lower lip and said firmly.
