Maiden Galaxy

Chapter 467: History Is Written By The Victors

Although Yang Su's noble power was far from peak state, this was not something the average person could brush off at a glance. Even Chen Mo could not possibly be so indifferent.

The Cold Blooded Beauty stared cautiously at the silent woman beside him in astonishment.

"Son Of Heaven" Liu Houxiu wore a veil. Her figure was slender, her air refined. If it could be said that Chen Mo had the Black Turtle's strength and could make all waters beneath his feet solid ground, then Liu Houxiu was one with Heaven and Earth, already at an unfathomable domain. Yang Su clearly sensed from her the air of Xuannü Realm.

"Just who is this man, why would such a powerful woman be at his side." Yang Su was inwardly shocked. How could she have known that Chen Mo had deliberately called upon Liu Houxiu to intimidate Yang Su a bit. And Liu Xiu was very curious about Chen Mo, so she did not decline him.

"If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you wish to humiliate me, then do as you please." Yang Su took a deep breath and flung her sleeve.

"The Sui Ye Star Kingdom is already unable to coexist with Mount Hua. Our two sides will inevitably face a life and death battle. I have come to invite you to join me." Chen Mo said.

Yang Su scoffed: "Join you to destroy the Sui Ye Star Kingdom? You wish to turn me, Yang Su, into a traitor?"

"Traitor? Ha, ha." Chen Mo felt this was very ridiculous: "I don't think that the Cold Blooded Beauty has any kind of foolish loyalty. Yang Guang already treats you as a pawn, and she even turned you into prey to rope in the Heavenly King Of Dongxia. Don't you want to avenge this animosity?"

"As she is the Monarch, she did something that I should have." Yang Su was expressionless.

Chen Mo's brows rose.

"Your Highness, do not waste your breath on her. Yang Su is currently a cripple. She is useless left alive. A Starfall could instead be beneficial." Xiao Mohe said in displeasure.

"Indeed. I, Yang Su, am unable to help you right now. You need not be insincere. If you want to kill me, just kill me." Yang Su sneered. Her wounds were such that she would need a year in order to recover, and Yang Guang absolutely did not want to wait another year to destroy Mount Hua. Thus, she did not hesitate to sell Yang Su out.

Chen Mo immediately understood. Given Yang Su's insightfulness, she certainly would believe that he was deliberating humiliating her, waiting for her to agree and then make his move. "If I said that Mount Hua could help you recover your Realm in just a month, would you agree."

"What? Mount Hua can help me recover?" Yang Su was taken aback.

"To be precise, King Of Medicine Sun Simiao. She has promised me to help you." Chen Mo said.

Hearing of the King Of Medicine's oath, Yang Su could not help but be moved.

In Star World, a Star World's wounds could be best healed only by a Star General. Other pills and medicines were merely supplements. "King Of Medicine" Sun Simiao's Star Name was very renowned in Star World, and her medicinal soup arts had an efficacy that most Star Generals could hardly imagine.

Chen Mo watched her silence and knew she was already a bit interested. He continued: "Your Yang Su Star Name is currently an extraordinary shame in Star World. If you want to cleanse that, your only solution is to kill me."

"You realize this, yet you still dare to ask me!" Yang Su's gaze emitted a chill, wishing to stab Chen Mo in the heart.

Chen Mo calmly answered: "I dared to ask you, then do you dare to oblige?"

"…" Yang Su had the question turned on her and was briefly speechless.

"Well, to be honest, there is another way to redeem your Star Name other than by killing me."

"Speak."

"Just follow me. A thousand years ago, the Purple Rose Star Emperor commanded Star Generals to unify Star World and became a name that lasted a thousand years. And the Purple Rose Star Emperor's Star Generals even included generals defeated by his hand, like the Soldier Immortal and Ancestral Dragon."

These words surprised Yu Juluo, Xiao Mohe, and Yang Su. Even Liu Houxiu's gaze slightly wavered.

"You wish to copy the Purple Rose Star Emperor?" Yang Su was blank.

"No." Chen Mo twitched his mouth: "I have no interest in imitating anyone, but I would like to inform you, no matter how many defeats or disgraces you go through, so long as you become the victor, everything will be fine…History is written by the victors."

"History is written by the victors!"

Yang Su murmured these words. Something in her heart was stirred.

"Don't Star Generals follow Star Marquis for the sake of borrowing the Star Marquis' power to bolster the reputation of their own Star Names. Since Yang Guang has already renounced you, if you abandon her, too, then your Star Name will become a laughingstock to the next generation. But…" Pausing, Chen Mo spoke each word with deliberation: "But if you follow me and defeat Yang Guang, then these words ‘renounce the dark and seek the light, make a comeback' clearly won't make you lose anything."

Yang Su stared at Chen Mo. She had no choice but to admit that this man's words hit where it hurt. His words had meaning in sentiment, logic, and history. That she, Yang Su, would need to follow him would be the most perfect story told.

But in these words, there was nevertheless till an extremely fatal hole.

"I acknowledge that your arguments are very persuasive, but all of this is based on the premise that you defeat Yang Guang…If in the case you become the loser, then everything will become an even greater joke. Renounce the dark and seek the light, make a comeback will become words synonymous with betrayal, struggling at death's door."

Chen Mo grinned. As expected, Yang Su was a pivotal figure in the Sui Ye Star Kingdom. Yang Guang was a fearsome character, seeing through everything at a glance.

"No mistake, so that's why I said history is written by the victors."

"Historical biographies and epochs in the end are written by a few people, but among these people, there absolutely won't be any cowards. Yang Su, I ask you again, are you willing to become someone who will follow us and become a person who writes history."

Yang Su stared at Chen Mo for a very long time without saying anything. Chen Mo was not worried at all as he similarly stared at her.

"Fine. Then I, Yang Su, shall accompany you. I do not care for any victor. I have never been such an obtuse person. I want to see just how far you can go!!"

Yang Su spoke with all the might she could muster.

"Please accept Chesu's respects." Yang Su bowed and cupped her fist, using Confucian etiquette. Yu Yanluo was very surprised.

Chen Mo returned the salute: "In your capacity as an official at Yang Guang's side, you should be very understanding of her. I need all information about her. Yang Chesu, can you provide this?"

"Of course."

Yang Su said: "I will be frank with you. If you want to destroy the Sui Ye Star Kingdom, I fear that would be a wild fantasy."

Having only just used very respectful etiquette to accompany him, only to just utter that this was a fantasy the next moment, Chen Mo was full of curiosity: "Why is that?"

"With your…Your Highness' current strength, you will perhaps be evenly matched against the Sui Ye Star Kingdom, but Yang Guang has close ties to other Star Marquis. She is in the middle of preparing to consult with them on how to deal with Mount Hua."

"Fu Jian?" Chen Mo thought.

"The most frightening is the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom's ‘Eternal Divine Warrior' Li Shimin." Yang Su said.

"How is Li Shimin on very good terms with Yang Guang?" Chen Mo wrinkled his brow. However, on second thoughts, Yang Guang ascribed to Buddhism, and the Great Tang also promoted Buddhism to spectacular levels; this was actually within reason.

If this honestly was the case, things were even more problematic.

"No need to worry. If Li Shimin takes action, the Central Star Field will also intervene." Liu Houxiu softly said.

Her words carried more force than any oath.

Chen Mo smiled at her. Then, he said to Yang Su: "In short, come to Mount Hua to nurse your wounds in the meantime. Let us return now."

Chen Mo guided everyone back to Mount Hua, allowing Yang Su to receive care from Sun Yingmeng and Tan Daoji at Mount Hua's northern peak. With a patient like Li Xiao already, Sun Yingmeng did not mind too much that there was another; she may as well test medicines on her. With a True Phoenix Eighth Stage Heavenly Star to test medicines on, this was perfect to promoting herself to Heavenly Star Realm even more quickly.

After successfully winning over Yang Su, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Su was also considered a giant among men. Her aid did not fall short of what a top-notch Star Name could provide. However, Chen Mo was aware that this was far from enough. Xiao Mohe, Yang Su, Yu Juluo, Gao Siji, Chen Tuan, himself, Tan Daoji and a still unconscious Purple Rose Star Name. This level of power was enough to contend against a Star Marquis.

If Yang Guang was determined to face Mount Hua, then she certainly would have countermeasures. Battling with Yang Su gave Chen Mo ample benefits. His Realm had considerably increased, and his name had spread throughout three hundred Star Fields so much so that he was comparable to a top-notch Star General. But this was still not enough. Only when his name was known to everyone in the Three Thousand Star Fields could he genuinely contend against a Star Marquis.

In Star World, the only Star Warriors capable of doing this was the head of the Xuannü Seven Stars, Dream In A Millennium.

For the time being, Chen Mo also tried to seek out Liu Xiu for a spar, to try for experience battling a Star Marquis. The result left Chen Mo suffering quite the considerable blow. Liu Xiu warmly declined him. In Xiao Mohe's words, a Star Marquis on the level of Liu Xiu needed only a single finger to defeat Chen Mo. Even if he used the Five Emperors Seal and the Two Great Spirits, the most he could achieve was a brief struggle.

"If you truly wish to make your name known to all in the Three Thousand Star Fields, there actually is a very simple way." Yang Su informed him.

"What way?"

"Go join the Literary Excellence Convention! If you can win the ‘Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout' and earn first place in the convention, then even a Star Marquis cannot look down upon you."

When she said these words, Yang Su was completely using a mocking tone because she knew this was impossible. First place in the Literary Excellence Convention was the supreme glory of all spiritual power Star Generals in Star World. Those apparently unremarkable spiritual power Star Generals would explosively demonstrate their formidable potential. Even the top-notch martial generals would be left in their dust.

Star Warriors fundamentally had no ground to stand on.

Furthermore, it was already too late for Chen Mo to attend the Literary Excellence Convention now. The convention required one to have the capability to distinguish oneself through writings in order to have the qualifications to join. Otherwise, they could only watch from outside the venue.

To write a distinguished book required a spiritual power Star General several decades, maybe upwards of a century, of time. Jiang Kui had spent many years to finally show some results for the Sequel to the Treatise on Calligraphy.

Chen Mo actually did not truly plan to surprise people at the Literary Excellence Convention. Who was he kidding, the convention was filled with every kind of literary talent including Poem Demon Li He, Poem Buddha Wang Wei, Poem Slave Jia Dao, Poem Emperor Li Yu and more. There were also the Three Su's, Wu of the Four Shi, the Four Greats of Early Tang, the Six Recluses Of Zhuxi, the Seven Sons of Jian'an, the Eight Great Families of the Tang and Song. If these practically equally famous names all participated, the competition would be bitter.

However, for such an important convention, Chen Mo naturally would go take a look. He was very eager about these Star Names.

Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom, Chenguan Star Field, Chenguan City.

All Things Heavenly Palace, rear garden.

There were hundreds of stunning flowers, and tens of thousands of wafting scents.

It seemed as if the beautiful scenery of Star World's four seasons were all blossoming in this garden. A vigorous air made everyone feel at ease from head to toe. But to Yang Guang, this seemed nonexistent.

The girl's tone urgently said: "Elder Sister Li Shimin, just agree with me that you will send an expedition against Mount Hua. Dongzi has dispatched someone to relay information. This time, the Central Star Field will not interfere."

"We need only to seize Mount Hua, destroy the foundation of Daoism and replace it with Buddhism. Elder Sister, there is no need to worry about not being able to surpass Erliu. Make Tang Xuanzang accept some sutra to make Buddhism the supreme does not violate things at all."

"That man defeated Yang Su, obtained the Five Emperors Seal and has made Daoism's name rise again. We cannot wait any longer, we must kill him."

"Elder Sister Liangyi!"

Yang Guang grew more and more panicked, even calling out the woman's True Name.

The master of the heavenly Tang Kingdom was in the middle of the garden's endless trees, picking fruit. Her delicate body was boundlessly graceful. As if finally finding a fruit satisfactory to her, she carefully plucked it. She seemed like an elder sister watching over her grouchy little sister, her eyes full of love.

"Destroying the root of Daoism is indeed good, but I fear someone else has picked that fruit."

The woman slightly wrinkled her brow.

Thereupon, the tens of thousands of flowers and trees instantly withered under her expression.
