Chapter 812 - 551: To Gamble or Not to Gamble?

Night, Diamond Home.

It’s already close to midnight, and almost everyone in the community is asleep.

Only two cats downstairs, perhaps in heat, are incessantly meowing.

Second floor, in the bedroom.

Lu Li held the already asleep Liu Kexin, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Although the Earth primary election for the "Lord of Ten Thousand Stars" wasn’t over yet, results from several planets in the Milky Way Galaxy had come in, truly surprising all Earthlings.

No one expected that even in the primary election stage, Lu Li would emerge victorious among many extraterrestrial intelligent life forms’ primary voting.

If someone logged onto the internet now, they would certainly find many people passionately discussing this matter.

Lu Li could sense the various situations without even going online.

For instance, on Weibo, the topic "Eternal Star Lord is about to become the Lord of All Stars" has already reached the top of trending searches.

Additionally, on Douyin, countless related videos are sprouting up like mushrooms after rain.

Netizens are also passionately commenting.

"Eternal Star Lord is awesome!"

"Haha, I was wondering why there was no ranking, turns out there are too many votes to count."

"When the ranking for Eternal Star Lord was first updated, I saw it—wow, twenty billion votes, nearly made me faint with surprise."

"Hey, isn’t it natural for him to get twenty billion votes? This is the Eternal Star Lord, the savior of our Earth! If some countries weren’t in the dead of night, Eternal Star Lord’s votes would probably have exceeded forty billion on the first update."

"By the way, in the most recent update, how many votes does Eternal Star Lord have?"

"There’s real-time data on Douyin, I just took a look, seems like it’s already broken forty billion votes."

"Whoa! Awesome! Eternal Star Lord is absolutely incredible! Forty billion votes, truly astounding!"

With Earth having only a total of eighty billion people, and with only a third of the voting time elapsed, Lu Li had already received half of the votes, indeed very impressive.

Most importantly, only adults are eligible to vote, minors have no vote rights.

It’s impossible for all the eighty billion people to be adults.

Therefore, Lu Li receiving forty billion votes now means that the vast majority of Earth’s eligible voters have voted for him.

Although the voters’ votes don’t equal the final formal votes, anyone can see clearly that with forty billion votes, Lu Li is definitely the Earth candidate.

What does it mean for Lu Li to become the Earth candidate?

It means that he is certain to enter the midterm elections within the Orion Arm.

And then, relying on his high prestige, winning the final victory is almost a piece of cake.

So, does this mean someone from Earth will become the "Lord of Ten Thousand Stars"?

Countless netizens, upon thinking of this, became even more excited.

"Hey, do you think the Eternal Star Lord representing Earth in the midterm elections within the Spiral Arm has a chance of winning?"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? The Eternal Star Lord is definitely going to win."

"Exactly, don’t you check the ’River Entertainment Network’ to see what’s happening?"

"My home internet is pretty lousy, I can’t even connect to ’River Entertainment Network’, can you tell me what big event is occurring?"

"What big event? Our Milky Way Galaxy’s initial elections among many intelligent civilizations, and the Eternal Star Lord has already achieved final victory. Now he appears to be Earth’s candidate, but in reality, he is the candidate for thousands of planets, oh, see what a spectacle this has become, there’s not even a hint of suspense. I originally wanted to see the Eternal Star Lord compete within the Spiral Arm and then the final election, something grand, but now it’s better this way, the entire Milky Way Galaxy is hoping for him to become the ’Lord of Ten Thousand Stars’, with no suspense at all."

"Whoa, is the Eternal Star Lord’s prestige really that awesome?"

"Of course, isn’t it obvious? How could he become the candidate for thousands of planets in the primary election otherwise?"

Many netizens who just learned about other planets’ voting situations were truly stunned by the revelation.

They originally thought Lu Li’s prestige in the Milky Way Galaxy was quite high, but it couldn’t possibly be so high that other intelligent life forms would abandon their own interests to vote directly for Lu Li. But they still underestimated it.

The reality is, not only were the various intelligent life forms in the Milky Way Galaxy willing to sacrifice their interests by not voting for their own elites, they almost sealed Lu Li’s fate as the "Lord of Ten Thousand Stars" during the primary election itself.

Given the current voting situation, no one in the Milky Way Galaxy is likely to be Lu Li’s adversary in this election.

Hence, Lu Li becoming the "Lord of Ten Thousand Stars" is almost a certainty.

Now all that’s missing is the end of the final election day.

Netizens aware of the extraterrestrial voting scenarios are all sighing.

They finally understood just how high Lu Li’s prestige is in the Milky Way Galaxy.

It’s unfathomably high!

Under the covers, Lu Li sensed the situation and couldn’t help but shake his head.

Of course, he’s aware of how high his prestige is in the Milky Way Galaxy.

It’s just that he really doesn’t want to be the "Lord of Ten Thousand Stars"!

"Forget it, I’ll contact Venerable Lupar later to have him negate this voting result."

Lu Li pondered silently, beginning to consider other matters, "With my current power limit being vast and boundless, perhaps I can do something else, like checking out the Fantasy World I’ve always wanted to see, but haven’t gone due to feeling somewhat weak."
