[1-200] THE LORD'S EMPIRE

Chapter 161 - No Return... The Path of Kings!

The last part of the Flower Fairy’s Blessing was a chance to attract Fairy Spirits, which showed how rare and powerful they were.

What’s more, right now, they were only able to reduce the time it took plants to grow by a factor of five, and as they grew more powerful, so would their skills.

Zhao Fu had already decided to take these Flower Spirits back to the Great Qin Town. As such, he started to act like a lolicon who was tempting lolis, and he started to describe the Great Qin Town as a beautiful paradise.

Then again, what Zhao Fu said wasn’t a lie – after obtaining the Level 3 Flower Fairy’s Blessing, the Great Qin Town had countless flowers growing around it, and even the air contained a faint flower fragrance.

Of course, the three pure and naïve Flower Spirits didn’t have many reservations and agreed to go with Zhao Fu to the Great Qin Town. After talking with him for a while, they found out that his name was Zhao Fu, but they liked to just call him ‘Zhao.’

At that moment, Roserose said that she was hungry and went with the other two Fairy Spirits to find some fruits. However, Zhao Fu stopped them and took out three Black Forest Fruits.

Each of the three Flower Spirits hugged a fist-sized Black Forest Fruit and took a bite. They found that it tasted quite good and started to happily eat. Roserose ate in large mouthfuls, causing the juice to spurt everywhere, whereas the other two ate much more elegantly. Zhao Fu was quite surprised to find that they were not weak at all.

After watching them eat the Black Forest Fruits, Zhao Fu looked down at himself and couldn’t help but sigh.

This was most likely the most injured he had ever been, and it was even worse than when he had fought against that mysterious Skeleton. This was because there was an azure energy within his body that was stopping him from healing.

This azure energy had some sort of sealing power, and it was hard to get rid of, making it difficult for him to recover.

What made Zhao Fu’s heart ache the most was that he had expended nearly all of Great Qin’s Fate. Zhao Fu didn’t take the Nation Armaments out lightly, as they consumed a great amount of Fate. Because Fate could determine an entire nation’s path, it was quite valuable.

He had used up most of the Fate he had but not to the point that the foundation was damaged. He would gradually regain the Fate in the future, but he wouldn’t be able to use the Nation Armaments again in the future because he would risk the foundation of his Fate being destroyed.

Nation Armaments should only be used when making extremely great decisions, such as taking down another nation or fighting against a main city. At the very least, there had to at least be great benefits, such as obtaining an ancient King Armament Shard.

Back then, after Zhao Fu’s battle with the mysterious Skeleton, he had used up a lot of the Fate he had, but after obtaining the ancient King Armament Shard, he regained a lot of the Fate. It was clear just how powerful and important that ancient King Armament Shard was.

Now, even though Great Qin’s Fate would recover, he did not receive any benefits. If he had been able to take down Heavenstone City, not only would he have regained all of that Fate, but he would have also been able to gain enough to the point that he could level up his Nation Armament again.

However, it was a pity that Zhao Fu could not take down Heavenstone City by himself. Even if he had 40,000 Stage 1 soldiers, he wouldn’t be able to conquer Heavenstone City, but not including the Skeletons, he only had 6,000 soldiers, most of whom were not at Stage 1 yet.

Right now, a main city’s power was not something normal people could resist. Zhao Fu somewhat regretted this battle – even though he knew that Heavenstone City had suffered disastrous losses, it had been a pyrrhic victory, and no one had received any benefits.

Back then, Zhao Fu had sensed that there would be danger, but he had never thought that Heavenstone City would be so unrelenting and ruthless, which had completely enraged Zhao Fu.

He had suppressed his anger and had continuously tried to escape, but in the end, he was unable to contain his rage.

After obtaining Great Qin’s Legacy, Zhao Fu found that his personality had gradually changed. He seemed to be becoming madder, more violent, more bloodthirsty, and even colder.

Now, even Zhao Fu wasn’t sure what sort of person he would become; he didn’t know whether or not he would become someone who would create millions of corpses whenever he was angered.

No matter what sort of person Zhao Fu would become, it was something that had already been determined. After all, when he stepped onto the Path of Kings… there was already no turning back.
