This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

The Heaven Rankings?

Long Chen hastily shook his head. Ah, with my little ability, I dont want to embarrass myself there. We, people from the nine heavens, have suffered our entire lives. Why would we seek more suffering? If I went up there and got beaten, our situation would only worsen.

Even as Long Chen spoke, he was puzzled. The trial earlier had been broadcast throughout the Starry River Palace. How had this woman failed to recognize him?

She replied, You cant say it like that. Not everyone looks down on you guys! At the very least, I, Qu Yingying, do not. Well, so many of them look down on people from the nine heavens partially because you guys truly are weak, but also because theyre afraid.

Once you grow stronger, youll compete with them for our limited resources. Thats exactly why you must work harder. Resources arent given out of kindness. If you dont fight for them, can it be that youre waiting for others to send them straight into your mouth? Im right, dont you think?

Long Chen studied Qu Yingying quietly.

Her expression was sincere, but there was a crafty glint hidden in her eyes. Long Chen immediately understoodshe had taken note of his strength and wanted to recruit him.

Long Chen almost burst into laughter. A little fox with barely any experience in this world was trying to con an old fox who had brushed against divinity.

Seeing that Long Chen showed no reaction even after hearing her name, Qu Yingying became even more convinced that he was a newcomer to the Starry River Palace. To think that such a powerful disciple from the nine heavens had stumbled straight into her star boat was this not a gift from the heavens?

Qu Yingyings desire to pull Long Chen over to her side grew even stronger. At this moment, she stood in front of Long Chen and patted his shoulder.

Looking him in the eye, she said, Little brother, you must understand something. In this world where the weak are prey and the strong are respected, you must charge forward yourself. You guys, disciples from the nine heavens, had a worse start than us, but so what? Dont tell me youre willing to accept that fate for the rest of your lives? Dont simply accept the fate that the heavens handed you. Fight for it!

Seeing Qu Yingyings grand conning speech, Long Chen almost lost control of his expression. But because he saw her sincerity, he continued listening.

He nodded occasionally, playing the role of someone undergoing a mental transformation.

Qu Yingying said, Theres a certain sayingall people are like ants, but when their will soars like a like a bird

A swan, Long Chen corrected calmly.

Qu Yingyings face flushed red, but she recovered quite quickly.

In your world, its a swan. But its just a bird in the Primal Chaos World. The wording doesnt matter. In any case, life isnt fair. You must fight to the endfight against fate! That is the legacy of our nine star line. You are young, yet you became a Sovereign Lord in the nine heavens and crossed spatial cracks to arrive here. Do you know why that is?

Why? Long Chen asked, widening his eyes in amazement and curiosity.

Qu Yingying suddenly stood upright, looking solemn. A holy light seemed to have enveloped her.

This is all the guidance of the Nine Star Master! The workings of fate itself!

Long Chen had underestimated this pure-looking maiden. She actually dared to toss out the name of the Nine Star Master to strengthen her pitch and con him. Her guts werent small.

To the Star Master, we are all his heirs, his children. He loves us all equally, so why must you face such hardship and discrimination?

Why? Long Chen asked like a blockhead.

At this sight, Qu Yingyings face twitched as she almost lost control of her act. She took a deep breath to maintain her solemn expression.

Because this is one of the trials that the Star Master has given you. Dignity is not something obtained through prayer or charity. You must rely on yourself to seize it. Seize it from the heavens, seize it from the earth, and seize it from people! You must take what belongs to you, understand?

I do. So where do I seize it? Long Chen asked, nodding.

I

Qu Yingying almost cursed Long Chen for being an idiot. After explaining it so clearly, how could he still not grasp it? Was this fellow truly dense?

Regaining her composure, Qu Yingying said, You need to compete for a high ranking. Establish your name. Prove with your own strength that even wild grass can flourish, that an eagle can soar without being taught. Beat those so-called geniuses until their faces swell. Trample them the way they trampled your dignity. You have to return every humiliation a hundredfold. Remember, this isnt revenge. Its a trial bestowed by the Star Masteryour mission!

Long Chen raised a brow. Even he felt a stir of emotion from her pitch.

This harmless-looking girl truly had guts.

Qu Yingying gave Long Chen a firm shoulder pat.

She said, Every nine star heir carries a duty to revive the nine star line. Since you have the power, you must have the courage to stand up and create a place for the disciples of the nine heavens. Teach those dogs who look down on you how to kneel and repent, understand?

I understand. I should beat up whoever looks down on us, whether theyre disciples or Elders! If I dont like the way they look, Ill just beat them up! If they dare to complain, Ill slap them! Long Chen exclaimed, waving his fists.

Though this girl was trying to rope Long Chen into her camp, he could tell her lack of prejudice wasnt an act. Beneath the con, there was sincerity and a mind capable of seeing the broader picture.

Good, thats the attitude! Then starting today, you are my little brother, and I am your big sister! Come, big sister will bring you to the ranking stage!

Qu Yingying held Long Chens hand, truly treating him like a little brother.

Now, Long Chen felt a bit embarrassed. He wanted to pull away, but doing so would expose that he hadnt fallen for her act. That could turn things ugly then.

Big Sister, what ifand I do mean just ifI cant hold back once the fight starts? Will that cause trouble for you? asked Long Chen nervously.

Dont worry, I will look after you. Once youre on the ranking stage, whether on or off the arena, beat whoever you like. Ill handle everything.

Long Chens question delighted Qu Yingying, and she patted her own chest as she guaranteed this.

Long Chen hid a mischievous smile. Promises were dangerous thingsespecially when made too casually.

Big sister, those are your own words.

Just then, Qu Yingyings tablet started to flash, and she shut it off directly.

To show how close she was with Long Chen now, she explained, The patriarch of my clan has come out of seclusion. Were all gathering to greet him properly. Thats why I summoned the star boat, but then, I ran into you. Hehe, isnt this destiny? Little Brother, youre not only powerful, but youre also handsome. Trust me, if you follow me, I guarantee youll flourish in the Starry River Palace.

Long Chen still didnt know how she had gauged his strength, nor how highly she rated him.

If Senior has come out of seclusion, shouldnt you go to see him? asked Long Chen.

Its fine. The patriarch will definitely go to see the Elders and such first. Who knows how long theyll chat? We have penty of time to go to the ranking stage. As long as you can make it intosaythe top five hundred, Ill bring you to see the patriarch! Qu Yingying replied.

She had set Long Chens goal with startling ease.

Just then, the star boat twisted, and they entered a whirlpool.

The scene around Long Chen changed.

Long Chen found himself in a giant starry space crowded with countless figures. Shouts, clashes, and the roar of battle echoed in every direction.

Just as Long Chen arrived, someone sensed his aura as someone from the nine heavens and opened his mouth.

Hey!

Pow!

Hey your sister! Long Chen snapped. Who do you think youre shouting at?
