Chapter 2212: Chapter 2231: Abdication
Yusuf Zuck truly felt lazy at heart, unwilling to fight any longer, especially after reuniting with his relatives these past few days. Imrsed in this haven of warmth, he suddenly lost the motivation to move forward, thinking this was pretty good.
He had a wife, children, a ho, brothers, and territory, lacked nothing in food or clothing, and most importantly, he could live forever, so why seek discomfort? Why challenge those powerful beings?
He couldn’t provoke them, but surely he could hide, right?
Thus, after returning to the Longevity Empire, he prepared to hand over the throne. After all, the courtiers are immortal, the soldiers are immortal, and this seed like an account to settle with them.
Honestly, before seeing his wife and children, he thought about fighting with Patrick Ruiz or challenging those big clans. Even if he couldn’t win, he could at least stand on equal footing, right?
But now, he’s lost interest, feeling like these battles never end; after one, there’s another, and after reaching immortality, there’s creation, and then what?
Demi Garrett said she’s about to reach the top of the tower, but she’s not there yet. Who knows how many floors are left? He’s too tired, so very tired.
“I am the master of my own destiny. I won’t have to care about anyone’s expressions anymore, so I’m leaving. Visit on Earth if you can,” Yusuf Zuck waved his hand, then opened his Door of the Other Shore, and just as he was about to step through, he turned back: “Where is my son and daughter-in-law? Bring them over!”
Demi Garrett shook her head with a wry smile but nodded, and then Hugh Zuck and Rene Brennan appeared at the Door of the Other Shore.
This was Demi Garrett’s world, so regardless of where Hugh Zuck and Rene Brennan were, Demi Garrett could teleport them instantly.
“Let’s go ho!” Yusuf Zuck waved to Demi Garrett and then disappeared with his son and daughter-in-law through the Door of the Other Shore.
As they vanished, Bella Hart appeared beside Demi Garrett and said with a wry smile, “A haven of warmth is also a hero’s grave; he’s lost his fighting spirit.”
Demi Garrett smiled faintly, “Sotis, fate plays tricks on people. It’s not about whether he wants to fight; fate pushes him forward, making retreat or deviation impossible!”
“What did you see with the Technique of Destiny?” Bella Hart asked curiously.
“I saw only one person standing atop the tower in the end!” Demi Garrett said, then disappeared with Bella Hart.
Yusuf Zuck returned to the Empire, to the deep palace where he had lived in seclusion for years. From the beginning, there was a harem here, but no palace attendants, no concubines.
Now, upon his return, he released all the won, telling them to amuse themselves while he went to the grand court assembly.
…
“Bringing back so many won? Each one is a national beauty.” Ayden Ac appeared opportunely before Yusuf Zuck, and as Yusuf Zuck saw him, the third eye on his forehead suddenly opened.
He wanted to discern whether Ayden Ac was genuine or not, whether he was approaching with intent or inadvertently, and what his purpose was.
Honestly, he didn’t fully trust this extrely intelligent person!
Seeing Yusuf Zuck’s sudden third eye open to examine him, Ayden Ac paused montarily, but soon he calmly looked back at Yusuf Zuck.
However, when Yusuf Zuck’s Eye of Insight peered into Ayden Ac’s soul, he found a black hole, deep and vast. He couldn’t find his soul nor see his thoughts.
Yusuf Zuck was shocked; Ayden Ac was indeed extraordinary!
He imdiately withdrew his divine skills and smiled, “I intended to use my third eye to see what your soul looked like, but I couldn’t, haha.”
Ayden Ac also laughed, “My body is just a shell, the soul has long since dissipated.”
“Then what are you?” Yusuf Zuck remarked playfully.
“I am a blind seeker of the spirit of wisdom, unable to see light, unable to find direction!”
“Stop, stop, I get annoyed with all you deep talkers. I can’t understand nor care to guess,” Yusuf Zuck waved his hand impatiently, “In a few days, I’ll leave. I’m not going to Patrick Ruiz’s place; I’m planning to head ho, find a safe harbor, and settle down. You won’t need to follow then!”
“Oh?” Ayden Ac raised an eyebrow, “You’re not planning to save your simpleton slave?”
“Simpleton slave?” Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, a struggle and sorrow flashed across his face.
He wanted to save him, but there wasn’t any way. Even if he could grant immortality, he couldn’t contend with the Richmond Family!
“This ti, follow my plan, and I guarantee I’ll help you rescue your simpleton slave. After that, all you need to do is agree to help steal sothing from Donovan Blackwell’s place, no need for you to deal with Black Bull the Great Monster, how about that?”
“Rest assured, I’m fully confident in rescuing the simpleton slave. Afterwards, you can use your Invisibility Vanishing Technique to steal the item for . Then you can retire, I won’t bother you anymore. Otherwise, if you go ho without rescuing the simpleton slave, he will suffer there!”
“What thod do you have? Tell !” Yusuf Zuck sighed. The simpleton slave was also his child; thinking of the child’s pitiable state, or him being whipped by others, softened Yusuf Zuck’s heart. He secretly vowed to rescue the simpleton slave, help Ayden Ac once, then disappear, retreating forever!
“Just follow my lead when the ti cos, I can’t tell you yet; I need to make another deduction later,” Ayden Ac shook his head.
“You can deduce too?” Yusuf Zuck asked in surprise.
Ayden Ac pointed to his temple, “Seen a lot, I can do a bit of everything!”
“Alright, as long as we can rescue the simpleton slave, I won’t ask. Just help you with the theft at Donovan Blackwell’s place, and then we’re even, how’s that?”
“That’s it!” Ayden Ac nodded.
“Then go handle your business, I have a court eting to attend!” Yusuf Zuck signaled to Ayden Ac.
Ayden Ac turned away, and the civil and military ministers gathered again in the legislative hall.
Now, everyone was immortal, everyone held a supre position, and the Longevity Empire had been rebranded as the Eternity Realm, ushering in a new atmosphere. The kingdom’s officials were filled with zeal!
Seeing the ministers assembled, Yusuf Zuck finally spoke calmly, “Since establishing the Longevity Empire, my goal was to lead everyone to prosperity and progress, and now we’ve achieved this!”
“A few days ago, I welcod my wife and children, and I’m planning to retire. So today, gathering you here is for the last court eting.”
“Don’t move or speak!” Seeing so unrest among the courtiers, Yusuf Zuck declared loudly, “This ti, my mind is made up. Helping you all beco immortal was my way of fulfilling my duty to you. Now that you have reached the Eternity Realm, you’ll have more room for growth. I can’t protect you for a lifeti.”
“So now I announce my abdication. Parker Berger will succeed to the throne. The Empire can follow hereditary succession or have the reigning king nominate the next successor.”
“Of course, all the Empire’s soldiers should remain immortal, so I’m bequeathing you a vast empire. Whether you can keep it safe depends on you.”
“After I leave, masters from Patrick Ruiz may co to the Lower Realm to inquire why you’re immortal. At that ti, speak truthfully. I believe they will find difficult to locate and won’t trouble you; they will only seek , not tornt you!”
“Now, dismiss!” Yusuf Zuck finished speaking and turned to leave as all the courtiers knelt in the hall, bowing their heads deeply!
