Chapter 532 — Shocking the Void Emperor for Ten Thousand Years

The one the demon race had chosen was none other than that fallen angel prince who, in Glory, had first been startled by Chongchong, then been savagely beaten by the Golden Inkstone God at the World Tournament, and finally been left traumatized by Shi Yan Eleven's ferocious combat power.

"Yes, my lord!!" The fallen angel prince was beside himself with excitement. Never had he imagined that the final opportunity would fall to him.

These lords said that even though he could not go to Boundary King Star for now, given his talent, the demon race would surely find a way to bring him over for training later.

This thrilled the fallen angel prince beyond measure.

Shi Jin... at the thought of that insurmountable mountain, the fallen angel prince still felt uncertain—after all, he had heard that Shi Jin had even beaten down alien geniuses like the Phoenix Man. But with a chance to step onto a larger stage soon, he still felt this was an opportunity to overtake Shi Ying.

After all, the demon race had supergod-level lifeforms, while over on Eastern Brilliance's Suspended Sky Star, there were only two peak god-tier beings.

The demon god race was clearly stronger than Eastern Brilliance's human race!

So long as he performed well...

That heart of his, which had been shadowed by constant comparison, began to stir with life again.

The nation of Glory.

The Angel Man combo, received by the Church of Light, was also preparing to take the woman before them to Inatella.

She was a woman with long golden hair, a lovely face, a full figure, and an aura of holiness. Like the fallen angel prince Aldrich, she too had been a contestant in the previous World Tournament—Glory's representative, the saintess of the Church of Light, Amelia.

As Glory's representative, Amelia had already possessed titled-legend combat power back when she was merely a legend, and had been a strong contender for the World Tournament championship. But who could have guessed that Shi Jin would burst onto the scene midway, leaving her not even daring to take the stage.

Another genius living in Shi Jin's shadow.

Now that the World Tournament had ended, she had already reached level eight—an extremely fast rate of growth. The reason was that not long after the first Rule Revival, Amelia had awakened the memories of her past life. She, too, was a reincarnator.

What was more, she had been reincarnated from a transcendent lifeform into a human.

In her past life, she had been a low-ranking angel goddess of the angel race in the Mythic Era—a deity of the Mythic Era, just like that male angel who had been frightened by Shi Jin at the Alliance Assembly.

For a god race being to reincarnate as a human was exceedingly rare—not difficult, but simply because few god race beings ever did so. It was even more extreme than mixed blood. Such a special case naturally became the Angel Man's primary target upon arriving from beyond the stars, and he had provisionally marked her as the super genius the angel race must win over.

Calling her a genius felt a little odd, though—given Amelia's seniority in her past life, she could be considered an ancestor of the present alien angel race.

At this moment, hearing the World Tree's summons, all parties began to move. On the ice plains, Shi Jin stretched lazily, a long-awaited look on his face.

"Come on, boys—let's go! It shouldn't be long now before we can head to Boundary King Star!!!"

"Chirp chirp chirp!!"

"Roar!!"

At Shi Jin's call, the beasts gathered on the ice plains, eating hotpot, cheered wildly, while Ginseng Baby heaved a sigh of relief.

"Eee~~!!"

All right!

Once they reached Boundary King Star, world energy ought to be abundant—enough to support even supergod-level beings. Now that Eleven and the other demigods were heading over, their demand for food surely would not be as ravenous as it was now.

"Eeya! (Time to work hard!)" Ginseng Baby was already planning, once over there, to downplay its chef identity as much as possible and pull off something big.

For instance, a god-tier first kill.

"Let's move out!!!" Shi Li shouted.

Lin said, "Hold on, shouldn't we call Teacher Ying too? Didn't it also pick up a teleportation keystone?"

"Oh, right, that thing too." Shi Shuo's face darkened with exasperation.

To this day he still refused to believe that something like a teleportation keystone could just be wished into existence by any random cat.

Shi Jin still remembered vividly the smug, wildly cackling expression on Jewel Cat's face during their video call back then.

…………

Ina Thera.

The World Tree watched the four aliens arriving one after another with their contracted partners, along with Shi Jin, the Dragon God, Aldrich, Amelia, and Jewel Cat, who had been chosen and brought along, and gave a slight nod.

Zilan and the Star Dragon, representing the Void Emperor and the Dragon Clan respectively, had made a perfectly sound choice in the Void Emperor's senior, the previous Dragon God of Mirage Abyss City.

The Phoenix Man whom Shi Jin had beaten up, representing Lin Feng and the Phoenix Clan, had made a perfectly sound choice in Shi Cen as well—after all, Shi Jin was now the foremost man of Blue Star, the envoy of Lan Yanzhi, and, what was more, the contract partner of the last demigod-blooded descendant of the nearly extinct Phoenix Clan.

The Demon Clan had chosen Aldrich, the most gifted of their kind at present, intending to wait until he attained the Legend rank; the Angel Clan had chosen the reincarnation of their ancestral god—neither choice was particularly strange.

"All familiar faces." Having arrived here, Shi Jin looked at Aldrich and the Holy Maiden of Glory with surprise.

He had assumed it would be some Legend from a foreign land.

Instead, they were all kids who had competed in the World Tournament.

"Have you two reached level nine?"

At Shi Ying's words, the Fallen Angel Prince and the Holy Maiden of Glory fell slightly silent, having no desire to engage with Shi Jin.

One look at Shi Tan's smugness and it was obvious Shi Jin had surely reached level nine.

They found it only natural—after all, Shi Jin had received the World Tree's blessing, had defeated the Phoenix Man, and had a record of triumphing over a whole host of demigods; it would have been stranger if he hadn't reached level nine.

[Level nine, is it…]

The World Tree sensed Shi Ying's level and could not help but be delighted—no wonder he was so cocky; he had leveled up again. Not bad.

Zilan and the Phoenix Man also whipped their heads toward Cen Yu. Shi Jin had leveled up?

[Not good.] The Phoenix Man's face darkened. Shi Jin had been formidable enough at level eight; level nine would be unthinkable.

He could already picture the rumors of his defeat spreading across Suspended Sky Star.

Above all else… how was he supposed to win it back?!

"Hm? What is that???" At this moment, the World Tree looked in puzzlement at Jewel Xu, who was raring to go off to the side, then turned to Cen Yu—did Shi Jin intend to contract it as well when the time came, and bring it along to the Realm King Star?

At least for now, it hadn't been contracted… in any case, it couldn't have come just for sightseeing.

"Lord World Tree, I am a demigod of Donghuang—don't you remember me? I took part in Shi Jin's campaign to hunt the Fallen Clan demigods, and Shi Jin and I are on excellent terms," said Jewel Xu. "Um, not long ago, I picked up a teleportation keystone, so when you're handing out the cosmic crystals later, don't forget me!!"

"I'll work hard helping Blue Star gather evolution resources too!" The catgirl pumped her fist.

Everyone: ???

Whether alien faction or Blue Star native, all stared in shock at the catgirl. What in the world—a teleportation keystone, picked up just like that??

"Ah, this." The World Tree was stunned as well.

She had picked up a treasure that the Star-Departing Divinities had fought tooth and nail to send back?

What kind of move was that!
