337: Senior sister promotion

“Thank you all for escorting my Junior Brother back.”

Senior Brother Feng and Bai Qi clasped their fists towards the four Rulers of the God Race.

They had originally intended to host a banquet for them, but the others were eager to return home.

Normally, encountering Lin Ye, a being with at least six or seven-star Ruler combat power, they would certainly try to build a good relationship.

However, although the matter had been reported to their clan, an offline inquiry was inevitable.

This was also the troublesome aspect of the God Race's system: meticulous and thorough in their work, leaving no stone unturned, yet overly cumbersome, with complicated procedures and slow reactions.

Facing a free-spirited race like the War God Clan, they were often at a disadvantage.

“Farewell.”

The four clasped their fists and then departed.

After they left, Feng and Bai Qi finally turned their gazes to Lin Ye, their eyes filled with astonishment.

“Good, good, good, Junior Brother has gained quite a lot this time,” Feng praised.

When they learned of their Junior Brother’s ‘fish-bombing’ antics in the Star River Hunting Ground, they were shocked. When he was pursued after the Star River Hunting Ground ended, they were worried. When their Junior Brother turned the corner and even obtained a legacy, they simply felt that life was unpredictable and were overjoyed.

“That’s all thanks to Master for backing me up,” Lin Ye said with emotion.

If it weren’t for the Galaxy Lord’s avatar projection holding back the Purple Thunder King, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to escape, let alone receive the legacy.

Not to mention that Master, for his sake, had a furious outburst in the Reception Land, inadvertently becoming the fuse for a grand movement.

Gratitude.

With such a Master, what more could a disciple ask for? All of his Masters had been dedicated and selfless.

Recalling Brother Yu, Lin Ye felt a pang of nostalgia. Once he reached the Supreme realm, he would surely reverse time.

Upon asking Hu, he learned that the Supreme realm could already manipulate laws and defy common sense.

But that was still a long way off.

“Hahaha, that also couldn’t have happened without your own talent. If you weren’t capable yourself, how could you have obtained that legacy?” Feng laughed.

The taciturn Bai Qi also nodded in agreement.

“Alright, let’s head back first. This is a double celebration: you successfully escaped danger, and Junior Sister has also advanced to Ruler. Master said we should celebrate properly.”

Senior Sister has advanced to Ruler?

Lin Ye had always known that this Senior Sister was highly regarded, but he hadn't expected her to actually succeed in her advancement.

“Indeed, we must celebrate properly.”

...

The Galaxy Realm was exceptionally lively.

Even the registered disciples of the Galaxy Lord, who had already graduated and left, traveled thousands of miles to attend this grand event.

The birth of a new Ruler within the Galaxy Lord’s lineage was a rare and wonderful occurrence, happening perhaps once every hundreds of millions of years.

This was just the internal celebration of the sect; afterwards, there would be banquets for the Galaxy itself and for foreign guests.

“The last time I saw such a grand event was for you, Bai Qi, wasn’t it? It’s been two hundred and thirty million years,” Feng said, looking at the clinking glasses in the Galaxy Realm, feeling time fly by.

“Senior Brother, yours was seven hundred million years ago, wasn’t it?” Bai Qi’s usually cold face also softened somewhat.

Looking at the prosperous Galaxy Realm, he was also in a great mood.

In the very center, the protagonist of the moment, Barbara, was receiving congratulations from everyone.

Her face was cold and beautiful, like a high-altitude flower, but the aura of killing intent emanating from her was like that of a female War God.

“Junior Sister is truly exceptionally talented. Advancing to Ruler with both gold and water laws, her future potential will surely be far greater than ours,” Feng sighed.

Both he and Bai Qi had advanced with single laws.

A single law could also lead to becoming a strong practitioner, but it was very difficult.

Those with extraordinary talent like the Great Wizard of Fate were, after all, only a minority.

Bai Qi nodded.

“Rulers who advance through the Fusion of dual laws have a higher basic quality from the start than us. Coupled with the advantage of creating skills, it’s much simpler for them to increase their combat power.”

Creating skills with a single law was less difficult, had a lower Upper limit, and resulted in lower combat power.

While advancing with multiple laws made skill creation difficult, once successful, the combat power increase was significant.

For example, the well-known ‘Ice and Fire Dual Heavens,’ a Fusion of ice and fire dual laws, could achieve a skill rating of two and a half stars.

That meant an increase of two and a half stars in combat power, which was already among the top-tier existences in terms of skills.

“If Junior Brother advances, his future will likely be even more glorious,” Feng looked towards Lin Ye.

At this moment, Lin Ye didn’t steal his Senior Sister’s thunder. Although he had obtained a top-tier legacy, the Galaxy Lord’s intention was to keep it as private as possible.

There was no real danger within the Galaxy, but he was afraid of ignorant outsiders causing trouble.

“Yes, if Junior Brother really advances, he will surely be the strongest Ruler,” Bai Qi also said with envy.

Lin Ye only went up to congratulate her after everyone else had finished.

“Congratulations, Senior Sister,” Lin Ye raised his cup.

“To us both. Junior Brother, obtaining a top-tier legacy this time, you are much more impressive than I am,” Barbara smiled.

Previously, Senior Sister had helped Lin Ye deal with the Demon God Cult, so the two were naturally not strangers.

They conversed very happily.

“Lin Ye, your Senior Sister seems to have some talent,” Hu said in Lin Ye’s mind.

“Oh?” Lin Ye was a little curious.

“I observe that her race is extraordinary, seemingly a mutated individual. If her talent is activated, her future will surely be remarkable,” Hu said.

Lin Ye knew his Senior Sister’s race, the Food Gold Clan. This clan consumed metal and then replaced some substances in their bodies with metal, making their physical bodies extraordinary.

After Lin Ye’s introduction.

“Not just the Food Gold Clan,” Hu affirmed.

“If she were just Food Gold Clan, her affinity for metal would definitely not be this high. There are many such races in the Star Realm, but replacing bodily substances with metal also has drawbacks. Stiffness, erosion, and so on would definitely exist. But look at her, agile in movement, healthy body, no after-effects of metal erosion whatsoever, not to mention the absolute control over metal you mentioned.”

Lin Ye looked intently, staring wide-eyed, using his Star Eyes, but couldn’t see anything.

Instead, it made his Senior Sister feel puzzled.

Why was this Junior Brother always looking at her?

Lin Ye could only avert his gaze, lest he be considered a pervert.

One could only say, ‘An old person in the family is like a treasure.’

“Then what race is Senior Sister exactly?” Lin Ye asked.

“This kind of mutation is hard to say; I can’t judge it either. A Great Wizard isn’t a biologist. If it were a strong practitioner like a Lich, they might be able to precisely determine her race, but those who enjoy human experimentation wouldn’t have good intentions,” Hu said.

Lin Ye felt a little emotional. He hadn’t expected such a genius to be right beside him.

This kind of talent was truly enviable.

If her entire body were replaced with materials of Ruler divine artifact level, and then inscribed with runes, her combat would be too unfair.

The strength of a Ruler divine artifact was difficult to break without several levels higher of combat power.

He asked Hu about his doubts, and Hu confirmed: “That’s right, this is the unfairness of this race. These naturally powerful races are all top-tier Rulers. Their talent can add a lot of combat power out of thin air.”

“You know, for Ruler Nine Stars, five stars rely on basic level, three stars on skills, and one star on divine artifacts. And for such races, their physical bodies are comparable to Ruler divine artifacts, and the top-grade kind at that. They can gain one star out of thin air without painstakingly forging divine artifacts.”
