The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 510 - 401: Star Spirit Key, Undercurrents Stirring!
"You’re right."
The handsome young man nodded, then asked, "You mentioned earlier that many family bloodlines have learned about the existence of the Immortal Bloodline. What is the attitude of those above now? What do they plan to do about it?"
The spectacled old man glanced at the handsome young man with a peculiar expression and replied, "What do you think they will do?
Of course, preserving the bloodline."
The handsome young man thought for a moment and said, "From my understanding of that little one, she may not be willing."
The spectacled old man picked up his teacup, gently shook it in his hand, and said calmly, "What if she’s unwilling?
This is an unprecedented opportunity for the Bai Family’s rise, and it’s not something a mere Star Spirit Realm can dismiss with a word of refusal.
If she cooperates, that’s fine; if not...
The spectacled old man brought the teacup to his mouth and took a sip, casually saying, "The only outcome waiting for her is the removal of her bloodline."
The handsome young man frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but ultimately only let out a soft sigh, "Ah."
The spectacled old man seemed unaware, still sipping tea and mumbling, "...with the assistance of this trace of Immortal Bloodline, given time, the Bai Family might ascend to the Peak of Mo Yun, or even advance into Tianlan; it’s not out of the question...."
The swirling light remained silent.
....
"Buzz—"
Lu Yuan’s five fingers spread open, and his fair, slender palm emitted platinum ripples.
The platinum ripples created waves in the void, and at the center of his palm, it seemed a platinum vortex formed, exuding an indescribable terrifying pulling force.
In the face of this pulling force, the shadow before him had almost no power to resist, clasped by Lu Yuan’s five fingers, tightly gripped in his hand.
Lu Yuan fixed his gaze, scrutinizing the full appearance of the shadow in his palm.
It was a monster with a deformed body.
Its entire body was covered in thick, sharp black hair, with long limbs and beast-like claws with extremely sharp nails.
Its appearance was grotesque, with dog teeth, pig snout, fox ears...
It was as if a bat had become enchanted, just without a pair of black fleshy wings on its back.
As Lu Yuan gripped the bat monster, it struggled desperately, layers of red halo emanating from its body, while its mouth opened wide.
From its bloodthirsty mouth came waves of powerful sound, along with the red light, rolling toward Lu Yuan like a tide.
Unfortunately, all these attacks were blocked by Lu Yuan’s protective platinum ripples.
"Seems like an Evil God creature..."
Having scrutinized it, Lu Yuan felt he was clutching a "screaming chicken"—annoyingly noisy and piercing—and exerted force with his hand, directly crushing the ugly bat monster.
"Bang!"
The bat monster’s head exploded like a balloon, and its body followed, turning into a cloud of black smoke and dispersing.
Nothing was left behind.
"The ones encountered in previous levels were all Evil God creatures, using all sorts of Evil God System powers....
The monster’s strength is gradually improving; by the fifth level, the monster’s power reached the peak of the fifth tier....."
Lu Yuan slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes glittering, casually pondering in his mind.
These Evil God creatures within the trials are simulated using some advanced technical methods, not true Evil God creatures.
"Most people participating in this trial are practicing Starry Sky Martial Arts, yet the first stage’s trial opponents are various monsters spawned by Evil God sects...."
The implications here are rather subtle.
"So... even in the cosmic Starry Sky, is the Evil God System still the proverbial rat everyone wants to beat?"
Lu Yuan lightly exhaled and couldn’t help but shake his head.
The closer he got to the Starry Sky, the more he felt that his future path wouldn’t be easy.
Just as he was thinking, the three portals appeared before him after clearing the level.
"Fifth level, enter through the middle portal..."
Lu Yuan remembered Yu Wentong’s instructions before the trial.
After clearing five levels, he roughly understood that the leftmost red portal likely represented the entrance to the "next level."
As for the other two portals in the middle and on the right....
"One might represent exiting.
Is it the one I need to choose now?
And what does the other portal represent?"
Lu Yuan didn’t know.
Though a bit curious inside, he didn’t plan to do anything unconventional.
He intended to follow the rules obediently.
The entire Starry Sky trial was foreign to him, and he didn’t want to provoke any trouble out of ignorance.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to choose the blue portal in the middle of the three,
suddenly, a burst of commotion came from his chest.
Before Lu Yuan could react, a streak of emerald swiftly darted from within the pouch of his combat suit.
Lu Yuan instinctively reached out to grab it, but his speed was far behind the darting emerald streak.
He could only watch helplessly as the emerald streak swooshed into the leftmost red portal.
Then the middle and right portals gradually disappeared, leaving only the red portal in view.
The Gugu Bird unexpectedly flew out at this moment... making the decision for him!
"Damn!"
Lu Yuan cursed angrily.
Whenever he was with the Gugu Bird, this fellow would always disrupt things at critical moments, placing him in a dilemma.
Count how many times it’s happened since the Secret Realm of Embers till now.
It was precisely for this reason that Lu Yuan decisively handed over the Phoenix Egg containing the Gugu Bird back then.
