Reborn back to the day the server opened! Lu Cang chose a guild talent that could grow to the SSS-rank. As a result, the players in Lu Cang's guild all became god-level players!
A super c...
Pushing open the door reveals a spacious and bright hall.
"The main character has arrived!"
Pfft! Pfft pfft pfft~
The champagne sprayed out like a salute, bursting into sparkling bubbles in the air.
Looking around, Bai Lu saw many familiar faces, including Yun Qing, Xue Jiu, and Qing Yun. Yun Qing still maintained her gentle smile.
Besides these, there were many other geniuses from other races whom we had never seen before. Of course, the other races were still a minority; the majority were meritorious citizens of the human race, perhaps several hundred people, each with a smile on their face.
"They've finally arrived! Our greatest hero." The people who knew him best formed a circle to celebrate the arrival of their greatest hero.
Jacquardto, in the lead position, also gently raised his golden, clear glass, which held a bright liquid that swirled within.
Soon, servants came forward and presented each member of the Godslayer Guild with a glass of crystal-clear wine.
"Should we check for toxicity?" Leng Qingying asked Lu Cang in a private voice chat after taking the wine glass.
Lu Cang chuckled inwardly and replied, "I've already checked, don't worry."
It has already been checked...
President, you were definitely more careful.
Lu Cang stepped forward, holding a wine glass.
Wishing you all the best!
"May the human race prosper."
With slight smiles, the two gently clinked their glasses, and the banquet officially began with the crisp sound of their glasses clashing.
The red velvet carpet flowed like a magnificent river across the smooth marble floor.
With each step, you feel as if you're walking on clouds. A magnificent crystal chandelier hangs from the high dome, each crystal sparkling brilliantly, illuminating the entire hall. The light dances on the red carpet like countless golden flames, transforming the space into a dreamlike wonderland.
In the center of the hall, a magnificent long table stands, covered with a gorgeous silk tablecloth, and is laden with all kinds of delicacies.
The golden cutlery and crystal glasses shimmered with an alluring luster and exuded a captivating aroma.
The guests gathered around the long table, immersed in the luxurious and delicious feast, laughing and chatting, creating a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
On the dance floor beside the banquet hall, dazzling lights cast shimmering shadows, and dancers moved gracefully to the accompaniment of enchanting music, gliding through the space like fairies. Dressed in gorgeous gowns, their beautiful and captivating movements enveloped the entire hall in an atmosphere of romance and passion.
Grand and cheerful music filled the hall. In this banquet hall, regardless of status or etiquette, the distinguished guests began to socialize and make friends according to their own preferences. Some even put their arms around each other's shoulders.
On the battlefield, many heroes forged deep friendships, and now at the banquet, they are naturally all happy.
Many outstanding talents came to toast and congratulate the fearless warrior, praising him greatly, which made him feel somewhat smug.
Even Rou Qianshui, a renowned beauty from the Rou Miao Guild and a rising star among the human race, stepped forward to openly express her admiration and affection for the fearless warrior.
After the guests around the fearless warrior finished their rounds of toasts and left, chatting and laughing, the fearless warrior was still standing there in a daze by the huge long dining table.
"Fearless, what are you thinking about, meow?" Xiumi came to the side of Fearless, picked up a plate of deep-sea cod fillets, and asked casually.
The fearless warrior looked at Xiumi with a serious expression: "Xiumi, I feel like this is the peak moment of my life."
"Eh~" Shumi drawled, "Your peak in life was far too easy. There will definitely be even more peak moments in the future, meow. Do you want to eat fish, meow?"
"eat."
Upon receiving a response, Xiu Mi served the brave and fearless a plate of fish, and then they began to talk about the recent war. The two chatted and found an empty seat to sit down.
The banquet hall was large, but not exactly empty.
Bai Lu was approached by many geniuses from other races, and some even asked to befriend her.
However, Bai Lu politely declined all of them.
Some powerful geniuses from other races even expressed their love for Bai Lu directly, but Bai Lu politely and gently rejected their advances.
Not only Bai Lu, but Leng Qingying and Xiu Mi also encountered the confession group. Even Zu Ya had a strong [Lei Tu Clan] prodigy confessing his love to her.
And the most popular of them all... is naturally the Azure Sky.
After walking around the banquet, Cang Qiong was carrying a thick stack of letters in his arms.
Leng Qingying exclaimed, "Heh, President, you're quite popular."
Lu Cang smiled wryly: "I didn't expect there to be so many."
It wasn't just the prodigy players who "confessed" their feelings to Lu Cang; there were also the infatuated servants. Many of these letters were sent by prodigies from other races who had friends within their own clans who had asked them to help deliver them.
The word spreads from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred; how many people admire the heavens!
Over time, each prodigy was entrusted with delivering numerous messages to the heavens.
"What do you plan to do with these letters?" Leng Qingying asked.
"Hmm... Anyway, I have time. I'll respond to them one by one after the banquet."
"Respond to each one individually?" Leng Qingying looked puzzled. This huge pile of letters she was holding looked like hundreds of letters. Responding to so many one by one was really not like her style.
In Leng Qingying's memory, Lu Cang was not the kind of person who would do such useless things.
In response to Leng Qingying's question, Lu Cang smiled gently and said, "You wouldn't want your heartfelt letters to be casually thrown away as trash, would you? Besides, not all of these are love confessions."
Lu Cang took out a letter drawn with colored pencils, which had cartoon doodles on it.
Thank you, Brother Cangqiong, for saving us!!
The entire letter consisted of only one sentence, and the tone sounded very immature.
Lu Cang waved the letter at Leng Qingying.
"Even so, should we still throw it away?"
"President, I didn't realize you were so gentle."
"Can't you really tell?" Lu Cang asked in return.
Leng Qingying opened her mouth, then changed her words and said, "Okay, actually there is a little bit."
Lu Cang said with a hint of helplessness, "Normally speaking, anyone would be curious enough to take a look at these letters, right? Do you think I'm the kind of person who encounters this kind of thing every day?"
Leng Qingying looked Lu Cang up and down again, and said with certainty, "Actually, he really does look quite similar."
The confession was ultimately just a small interlude, like a fan shouting "I love you" at a concert. The geniuses present mostly admired the members of the Godslayer Guild; if they were to say they truly loved them, that was extremely rare.
"Speaking of which, these prodigies have become more worldly-wise." The fearless warrior found a place to sit down with Xiumi.
"I remember when we first encountered the prodigies, they would always act like they were the only ones who mattered in the world."
Xiumi slurped up a boneless cod in one gulp and lazily replied, "After all, I've seen a higher level, and my horizons have broadened, meow."
"Back then, the definition of a prodigy was that only the invincible could be called a prodigy, so they naturally had their own arrogance. Now that they have seen the bright moon above them, they will naturally restrain themselves, meow."
As Xiu Mi spoke, memories of the past flashed through his mind.
If I hadn't joined the Godslayer Guild and instead chose to continue my journey alone, would I have become just another ordinary prodigy in the Human Alliance, gazing at the bright moon above, aware of my own mediocrity?
But that's how it happened, meow~
After Bai Lu rejected the last "fan," Xue Jiu excitedly approached Bai Lu. As a junior who admired Bai Lu, she finally got a chance to talk to her idol.
While maintaining her ladylike image, Bai Lu also made sure to enjoy her food efficiently. After the food was in her stomach, she would use her divine power of destruction to destroy it, so that she wouldn't get full so easily.
At the level of demigods, they will not die even if they do not eat or drink; eating becomes purely a matter of satisfying their appetite.
Bai Lu was showing off her food with elegance and speed, while Xue Jiu was tirelessly telling Bai Lu about her battle with the fire element prodigy. Of course, Bai Lu would occasionally respond to show that she was listening.
Even while eating, Bai Lu kept her attention on Xue Jiu's words. Hearing Xue Jiu's description, she couldn't help but admire her. When she was leading them, Bai Lu had also paid attention to Xue Jiu's basic magical skills.
In terms of skill, Xuejiu's skills are indeed far inferior to mine, but judging from her description now, she has really grown.
Bai Lu couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, after all, these were people she had mentored.
But when she thought of this, Bai Lu suddenly felt like she had become old and decrepit, and then she looked at her brother.
I was only in charge of Xuejiu and the others for a short time, but I was still proud of their growth. Would my brother also be proud of his growth?
But my brother's standards might be very high. I don't think I've disappointed him.
In a corner of the hall, Zuya encountered her most enthusiastic fan, a proud member of the Iron Sound Clan, who praised Zuya's recently released Rock Records album, extolling her musical talent.
The two chatted happily, and as they talked, they found an open space in the banquet hall, where Zuya took out his guitar.
In his spare time, Zuya has mastered the guitar to a high level and can be considered a guitar master. After all, a demigod can learn anything very quickly.
Zuya put on sunglasses, hung the guitar on his body, and gently strummed the strings.
This action caused the music at the banquet to stop, and many people turned their gaze towards Zuya.
"oh!"
"Oh! Is Stone King about to make his appearance?!"
"As expected, this is an essential part of any banquet! Being able to hear Shi Tianwang perform live makes this trip worthwhile!"
"Wow! Is this a free live ticket for Stone King?"
Although Zuya doesn't talk much, its number of fans is second only to Cangqiong among all the races. Zuya had already gained a large number of fans during the trial of Obades.
After the war ended, Zuya's long-planned new album was released immediately, and she quickly became a huge star worldwide.
Of course, Zuya's fame is also due to its membership in the Godslayer Guild, which already makes it a highly regarded organization.
When Zuya decided to give an impromptu performance, it attracted a large crowd of elites at the banquet.
Ta-da!
The guitar plays soothing, adventurous tunes; this is the first chapter of the Rolling Stone album, "The Adventure Begins."
The light and bright music filled the air, and the guests were all captivated by Zuya's melody.
As the performance continued, one of the most talented musicians boldly took out his instrument and joined the ensemble.
A musical prodigy joined the chorus.
More and more people joined, and before long, a pretty good band had been temporarily formed here.
...
The banquet proceeded merrily. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the servants cleared out the main table and scattered the food in different locations, leaving a large space in the center of the hall.
"The Sky".
Yacaticto, dressed in a platinum-gold gown, her long, flowing golden hair styled in an updo, raised her hand toward the sky.
No one beat her to it, because she was the hostess of the banquet.
The person she invited was another host of the banquet.
"Want to dance?"
Invited, Lu Cang took Yacaticto’s hand: “It is my good fortune to have the opportunity to dance with the beautiful and elegant Emperor.”
Yacaticto covered her mouth with her other hand and chuckled, "It's my good fortune to dance with the hero who saved humanity~"
As they chatted and laughed, Yacaticto's hand was already on Lu Cang's arm, and his feet began to dance casually.
All the guests present seemed to become the backdrop for the two, their eyes lingering on their elegant dance.
After the first dance, Yacaticto gently left the stage, and Lu Cang turned to Bai Lu and extended an invitation.
Bai Lu took her brother's hand and danced gracefully.
For someone strong in the spiritual realm, learning a dance is not difficult.
The two moved with light steps in the dance floor where light and shadow intertwined.
"elder brother."
So many things have happened.
"Yes, there were so many that I couldn't count them all at once, but—this was also my happiest time."
"Really?" Bai Lu asked, her tone tinged with doubt.
"Really~, all thanks to my lovely little sister." The flickering candlelight shimmered in Lu Cang's eyes, making his gaze appear sincere and intense.
"LuLu, you're amazing! In fact, you've really impressed me." Lu Cang smiled and praised without reservation.
Bai Lu's face flushed red: "Brother, what are you saying all of a sudden..."
But suddenly Bai Lu's voice choked: "Brother, it's been a long time since I've heard you praise me so frankly. I have been working hard. I have been chanting magic in my heart and learning and calculating. I am almost able to learn the language of Aihcator and will soon be able to learn the basics of time magic."
“When I was ranked fourth, I was always afraid. I was afraid of not being able to keep up with you guys, I was afraid of falling behind you, I was afraid that a stronger mage would appear, and I was afraid of being replaced.”
"I'm not as mature and straightforward as Sister Leng. I know that the silly warrior actually has great talent. They are all growing and getting stronger in every battle, but I feel that what I've learned can't help you."
"I was clumsy when commanding in the Living Realm instance and made a lot of mistakes. If everyone's strength hadn't been strong enough, we might have really failed."
Bai Lu bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I know, I know you've always worked very hard and done a great job. There are many things we couldn't do without you. Lulu, your performance has exceeded your brother's expectations, and you've done even better than I thought."
"Only you can kill the Bitter Blood Drinker. Without you, we couldn't have completed the Doomsday Night perfectly. Without you, LuLu, we wouldn't have been able to clear the dungeons so quickly. Leveling up is also very important, and clearing out mobs is a troublesome task. Moreover, without you, the crisis on Blue Star cannot be resolved..."
"LuLu, I was able to do so many things because of you."
"It was my oversight, brother. I'll praise you more often in the future." Lu Cang hugged Bai Lu and gently stroked her head.
Bai Lu leaned against her brother's chest, shook her head, and wiped away her tears.
"Okay, if I do well in the future, you must praise me more."
After Bai Lu, it was Leng Qingying's turn to take the stage.
Leng Qingying put her arm around Lu Cang's shoulder, and Lu Cang put his arm around Leng Qingying's waist.
"That was a good jump."
“My mother taught me this when I was little, so I still have some recollection of it,” Leng Qingying replied simply.
Lu Cang raised his hand high, and Leng Qingying spun around.
It is indeed not difficult for a demigod to accomplish such a thing.
"But President, is it alright to spend time on something like this? I thought we were always in a rush."
"It is always important to balance work and rest, and to maintain a proper balance between tension and relaxation."
Leng Qingying couldn't help but scoff: "Heh, so you know about moderation. I thought we were in a rush to be reborn."
"Is it that urgent? I remember giving you time to rest and move around freely, and you can rest in the guild territory while traveling."
Leng Qingying: "President, so you really do count two hours as a break?"
"Doesn't that count?"
President... I must say, it's a real shame you didn't become a capitalist.
Many women extended invitations to Lu Cang to dance, and even many male prodigies also made such invitations. However, after Lu Cang finished dancing with Leng Qingying, he declined all the invitations.
While there were no rules or etiquette at the banquet, everyone had to find a dance partner and dance together—an unwritten rule. Lu Cang's choice of Bai Lu and Leng Qingying was simply to be their temporary dance partners.
Of course, even if they didn't follow the rule, no one would bother them, since they were the hosts of the banquet.
As for Xiumi, her dance partner was the fearless warrior, who followed Xiumi in a clumsy dance.
Partnering with the fearless warrior, Shumi couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say, you're clearly very good at fighting, but you're quite clumsy when it comes to dancing, meow."
As Lu Cang arrived at the banquet hall rooftop, Xin Baiyue admired the white moon in the sky from the rooftop.
"Aren't you lonely being all alone?"
"If I am not alone, then I don't know how many people are lonely."
Xin Baiyue couldn't attend the banquet because not everyone had drunk the Heart's Pure Wine. If Xin Baiyue had appeared, it wouldn't have been a victory celebration; it would have been a total annihilation.
Ultimate beauty is both a blessing to the world and a curse of loneliness, especially after attaining the positions of the God of Enchantment and the God of Beauty.
"I brought you roast goose."
Lu Cang sat down next to Xin Baiyue and placed the plate of roast goose between them.
Xin Baiyue tore off a piece of tender goose meat with her delicate hands, tilted her head back, and put the meat into her mouth.
What are your plans for the next step?
"As you wish, the passage has been opened, but there should still be a superior race guarding the other end. Can you get through?"
"Do we really have to discuss business at the victory celebration banquet?"
"If you don't want to talk now, that's fine. You can come to our place tonight to talk. My sister will be there too."
Lu Cang changed the subject, asking, "Isn't your sister coming?"
“You know my sister doesn’t like noisy places; she prefers peace and quiet. Since we can’t show our faces anyway, she’s just staying at home.”
"You're probably lying in a hammock right now, reading that newly bought book, 'Legendary Guilds.' I glanced at it too, and it's quite good. Is this really something you experienced? That novel seller even said, 'If you don't believe me, ask the heavens, I'll pay you tenfold if it's fake.'" Xin Baiyue couldn't help but ask curiously.
Of course, Xin Baiyue didn't buy the novel herself; she asked someone to bring it to her. Yakatikto assigned servants to both of them.
The blind attendant, however, could hardly resist Xin Baiyue's allure just by hearing her voice, even when Xin Baiyue was being very restrained.
"Yes, it's true."
Upon hearing Lu Cang's response, Xin Baiyue remarked, "That's strange. How did that novel dealer know all this? Shouldn't only you two know this?"
"I asked him to sell it. Some parts of the story have been artistically embellished, so it's not all true, but it's pretty close." As he spoke, a copy of "Legendary Guild" appeared in Lu Cang's hand.
Xin Baiyue quickly flipped through the book again: "I never expected you to do something like this. I thought that a mysterious reborn person like you would keep these experiences sealed away for a hundred or a thousand years, and wouldn't tell anyone until you die~"
"It seems I understand you a little better now. Actually, I think it would be a shame to go through an adventure and not leave anything behind. It would be a good thing to become a legend and be remembered by people. The story will be passed down and people will still be telling it even hundreds or thousands of years later."
"Besides, this is also what one of my guild members wants."
Xin Baiyue stared at Lu Cang, feeling that this man exuded an indescribable charm.
"Speaking of which, you and Yacaticto skipped it, didn't you?"
As she spoke, Xin Baiyue stood up and extended her hand to Lu Cang.
Lu Cang smiled and took Xin Baiyue's hand.
At this moment, the white moon hangs in the sky.
Dancing wildly under the moon.
