Chapter 405: Chapter 398: Hidden Privileges · Deposed Crown Prince

Li Tang’s words sent shivers down Adam’s spine, a wave of cold seeping through him, raising goosebumps all over his body.

He realized that his good elder brother was eager for this group of Earthlings to kill him on the spot.

In this way, everything that the Eldest Prince of Chuanke, Li Tang, had done in the past would be blamed on him.

The truth of the matter was irrelevant.

The key was who would be the last one standing.

The Chuanke Royal Family’s succession sequence wasn’t a competition of misfortune but a survival of the fittest—victory to the last one standing.

Whoever survives till the end wins.

However...

Though Adam was more emotional than rational, he wasn’t a fool. He quickly realized that his elder brother likely had his weakness in the hands of others, perhaps even his life was being controlled by the Earthlings.

That’s why he behaved like that before.

Now the critical point was not what Li Tang thought, but how the one controlling the situation, the Prophet Ma Ran, would handle the current scenario.

Adam was acutely aware that if he couldn’t deliver a satisfactory answer, he was likely to die here today.

After understanding this, Adam was drenched in sweat, opened his mouth to speak, but found it difficult to organize his words.

Trying to persuade others with rhetoric was too challenging!

Especially dealing with someone like Ma Ran—it was better to consider what value he himself had that could be utilized rather than relying on words to sway him.

As for direct confrontation followed by a chaotic escape?

Forget it!

Chuan San was already dead; now he was all alone. His elder brother Li Tang was clearly unreliable and even wanted him killed. He could only rely on himself.

Although Adam had amassed enough resources over his century as a prince, allowing him to break through the tier barrier and advance to the Vacuum Level anytime, however...

It’s crucial to know that even the surface-level-degraded Eldest Prince Li Tang had no confidence against Ma Ran, not even daring to show hostility.

The gap between them, Adam could deduce entirely without a personal test.

The recent complete obliteration of the Divine Soul of the Seventh Princess Eve was too recent; he had no intention of becoming the next sacrifice!

"Damn it! Still too conceited!"

The Third Prince Adam cursed himself inwardly.

Despite being repeatedly taught the value of humility and the dangers of arrogance by prenatal education devices while in his mother’s womb, principles he wholeheartedly agreed with, history of smooth sailing over a hundred years led to swollen ego and conceit.

Back in the early years of his debut, even if colonizing the lowest level primitive civilization, he would never venture deep into enemy territory alone. He would certainly prepare thoroughly, bringing hundreds of strong elites with him.

When did all these changes start happening?

Adam took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off his forehead, cautiously looked at Ma Ran, focused his thoughts, and quickly spoke: "Prophet, please hear me out before you act."

At this point, Adam’s mind was a blur, and he couldn’t find a suitable reason.

Putting himself in Ma Ran’s shoes, he couldn’t see why he should be allowed to live.

Good looks? High status? Strong potential? Great power? Threaten with the strong foundation of the Chuanke civilization?

None of these were reasons; on the contrary, they were all paths to destruction!

Unintentionally, Adam’s gaze met Ma Ran’s.

What kind of gaze was that...

As a seasoned interstellar colonist, Adam had slaughtered many low-level civilizations and planets, a man who emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Yet, facing Ma Ran, he felt that his past "glorious achievements" were merely bully tactics relying on powerful civilization, one-sided bullying matches.

A guy like Ma Ran was a true warrior in every sense!

With a Spiritual Will honed to perfection, a mere glance could shake one’s mind, breaking their spirit and shattering their courage!

Compared to this Earthling Prophet, Adam felt like an overgrown baby, incapable of even basic self-care.

There was utterly no comparison between the two.

No confrontation, no battle; just an exchange of glances caused Adam a greater

setback and blow than being kicked away by Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan.

In this moment, Adam’s breathing suddenly halted, heart ceased its beat, pupil-less black eyes slightly trembling, voice exhibiting noticeable panic.

He was keenly aware that Ma Ran was not someone indecisive or hesitant.

The young man with black and white hair standing before him, despite his handsome appearance and gentle demeanor, giving an impression of a noble gentleman, warm and jade-like, deep down, he was someone ruthless, climbing from piles of corpses and sea of blood!

His tenderness and kindness would only be given to comrades and to the ones he’s protecting, not any ’enemy target’.

To continue living, he must work from this angle!

Between life and death lies ultimate fear. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

In a spark, Adam’s potential was unleashed, deep blue data frantically flowing through his pitch-black eyes.

In the blink of an eye, he found his reason to survive.

"The Guardian Chuan Qi who was with Seventh Sister wasn’t truly killed by you!"

"The Seventh Princess had the support of Emperor Chuanke; the Guardian Chuan following her might have been created using two drops of \’Tyrant Chuan\’ Source Blood! No matter how weak, it could display Vacuum Level combat power, impossible to be slain instantly!"

When Adam started speaking, his voice was trembling; after two sentences, his thoughts became clearer, allowing his speech to flow smoothly: "So, there is only one truth!"

"Guardian Chuan Qi feigned death amidst the chaos to escape!"

Arriving at this point, Adam accelerated his talking pace: "Every Guardian Chuan, upon creation, is ostensibly assigned with the highest mission of guarding the direct line of Chuanke Royal Family, but in reality, there’s a hidden mandate!"

"Which is—to maintain the ruling status and interests of the incumbent Emperor Chuanke!"

"The only reason for Guardian Chuan Qi to disregard the life and death of Seventh Princess Eve and flee directly is one!"

"Before this, through the deceased Chuan Yi and Chuan San, he obtained intelligence on Earth and learned of the existence of the \’Soul Completion\’ Divine Technique!"

"As Guardian Chuan Qi achieved the Vacuum Level, he can fully survive in the cosmic environment, at worst staying undefeated; if luck permits, by commandeering a starship from Eve’s fleet, he can quickly return to the Chuanke Star System!"

"With Earth’s technology or current superpower abilities, capturing him is extremely difficult!"

"And I..."

"Can assist you in capturing him back!"

Ma Ran raised an eyebrow: "What you can do, Eldest Prince Li Tang can’t?"

Adam swallowed hard, immediately responded: "He can’t! He’s a deposed Crown Prince; although as part of the direct line of Chuanke Royal Family some basic rights remain, many hidden privileges for succession were stripped away!"
