Chapter 396: Chapter 258: Principal’s Personal Welcome, Demigod Inquires (Last Day to Request Monthly Pass)_4
 

Sure!

In the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji is equivalent to a god. When he issues an order, even all demigods of the supreme alliance council must obey.

Since he has given the order, Li Yuan has the authority not to answer.

Then, Li Yuan has.

“Principal, in fact, it could be said,” Li Yuan smiled and said, “in the Divine Palace ruins, I received the inheritance of a demigod under that Fire System Divine, and among the Inheritance Treasures, there was a special treasure that could rapidly enhance Physical Quality.”

This was an excuse Li Yuan had thought of in advance.

He had also inquired with the Boundary Spirit… apart from himself and Lin Lanyue, no one knew about the Earth System Divine, not even the demigods from Flame City.

In the past, although the demigod from Flame City had merged with the fragmentary True Phoenix Bloodline, he still fell slightly short of the mark… therefore, he did not become a named disciple.

And Li Yuan believed that Lanyue would not reveal the secret.

“Obtained from the demigod inheritance?” The Qinghe Demigod frowned, he did not really believe it in his heart.

“Li Yuan, the demigod inheritance you received, can you talk about the experiences?” the Qinghe Demigod asked.

“Sure, it required passing through multiple tests…” Li Yuan slightly modified his own Third Layer of tests, telling half-truths and half-lies.

“But my tests differ slightly from the intelligence reports of the Blazing Flame Family. The ones who come after can only refer to them…” Li Yuan said, “I don’t know much about the secrets of the World within Worlds.”

This was a disclaimer, not ensuring the veracity of the information.

Time passed.

The Qinghe Demigod posed question after question, to which Li Yuan mostly answered that he did not know.

Some were genuinely unknown to him, and some he had to feign ignorance.

“Okay.”

“One final question, do you know why the other passageway in the World within Worlds is closed?” The Qinghe Demigod looked at Li Yuan; this was the issue the higher-ups were very concerned about.

“I know.”

“I once had the alliance check information about ‘Chi Divine Race,'” Li Yuan said, “It’s because the Fire System Divine in the World within Worlds and this Chi Divine being were enemies, his inheritance naturally wouldn’t allow the descendants of an enemy to receive it.”

“To be enemies with the Chi Divine being?” Not just the Qinghe Demigod, even Fang Hai and the demigod from Flame City showed surprise.

Li Yuan remained calm.

This was also the real reason… otherwise, in the eyes of the Boundary Spirit, all who entered the World within Worlds were potential ‘successors;’ how could it show such favoritism?

It was precisely because the ‘Chi Divine Race’ was the enemy.

The Boundary Spirit chose to close that one passageway.

Li Yuan even suspected that the sudden appearance of a second channel in the World within Worlds was the Boundary Spirit’s desire for more Fire System warriors and Earth System warriors to take part in the inheritance tests.

“Li Yuan, did you summon me because of Lanyue?” the demigod from Flame City suddenly asked.

“Yes.”

“As far as I know, Lanyue, due to her bloodline, has become a named disciple of a Fire System Divine,” Li Yuan said, “Deep within the ruins, Lanyue mentioned it to me… You know the specific reason.”

“A named disciple? She has become one?” The demigod from Flame City’s eyes lit up, revealing a smile involuntarily.

Of course, he knew the reason.

More than a hundred years ago, he had luckily merged with the fragmentary True Phoenix Bloodline… although he did not become a disciple of a Divine, the Boundary Spirit also revealed his mission to him.

It was to produce offspring, to see if among his descendants some would emerge with a higher concentration of the True Phoenix Bloodline.

Then, by returning to the World within Worlds and merging with another fragment of the True Phoenix Bloodline, there was hope of meeting the minimum requirements to become the master and inherit the Divine Artifact.

For this reason, the Blazing Flame Family was established.

The demigod from Flame City had not held such high expectations for Lin Lanyue… yet, to his surprise, it actually happened.

“The named disciple of a Divine?” Fang Hai laughed and said, “Demigod of Flame City, congratulations.”

“Good news.” Even the Qinghe Demigod rarely showed a trace of a smile.

Their status and vision were extremely high, and they clearly understood the concept of a Divine disciple.

Even if she were only a named disciple, even if the Divine had passed away… the probability of her becoming a Demigod in the future was extremely high.

It was like with Flying Heaven Warriors, it’s very difficult to train another Flying Heaven Warrior, but to train a Prime Warrior, it’s quite easy.

And in fact.

The gap between a Demigod and a Divine… is far greater than the gap between a Prime Warrior and a Flying Heaven Warrior.

“Li Yuan, thank you for bringing this news,” the demigod from Flame City said with a smile on his face, “this is my V-communication number… If there is anything you need help with in the future, just reach out to me.”

The demigod from Flame City offered his goodwill proactively.

“Thanks, Demigod.” Naturally, Li Yuan accepted this gesture of goodwill; a Demigod was among the highest tiers of the Seven Star Civilization.

…

The demigod from Flame City and the Qinghe Demigod left.

“Don’t take the questioning from the Qinghe Demigod too much to heart,” Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan, “He’s not deliberately targeting you, but just following procedure… Many demigods actually don’t like to do such offensive work.”

“Understood.” Li Yuan nodded, “Thanks to you, Principal, and the command from Elder Dongfang Ji.”

“My master didn’t give a command; I just said it on the spot,” Fang Hai said with a faint smile, “Anyway, he dares not ask my master for confirmation.”

Li Yuan was astonished; could one really play it like that?
