Chapter 784: Alliance of Juveniles
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Ping had originally thought that the Star State circle would be advanced and fancy.
However, their juvenile names made him realize he was sorely mistaken.
“Was this naming style established by the leader?” Su Ping couldn’t help but ask.
The old man named Apollo nodded and said, “Exactly, it’s an inviolable rule that the leader has set up. The Alliance of Stars has a unique style among all the Star State organizations, all thanks to our leader’s wisdom. You’ll be able to witness it soon.”
“…”
You must be really good at sucking up to the boss!
Su Ping’s lips twitched. He felt like he had entered the wrong circle.
The people present were the lords of planets. A single stomp of theirs would provoke a planetary earthquake!
Everybody thought that they were lofty experts on the top of the clouds; inscrutable, sophisticated, and unpredictable.
As it turned out…
Did any of them have the demeanor of a top expert?
Wait a minute.
Rather, did they behave in such a juvenile way because they were kissing up to the leader?
It must be the case!
The atmosphere in a circle was decided by a leader. It was just like it happened with companies; they were positive or corrupted depending on whether its leader loved adulation or the truth.
The leader was exactly the source of that childishness, and all the others were pretending that they loved it!
Brilliant! Truly brilliant!
So, that was how they showed their cleverness?
Su Ping took a deep breath. Acting was truly important for cultivators!
“Heaven Destroying Celestial, did Roland give his place to you? What’s the relationship between you two? Why was he so generous?” asked a middle-aged man curiously.
Su Ping almost felt goosebumps rise; he felt rather awkward when other people addressed him by that name.
He looked at the man and found that he could see the guy’s nickname.
…It was: the Deity of Six Realms.
Su Ping’s lips twitched. He was just as good at acting as anyone else.
As long as he wasn’t embarrassed, the embarrassment would be carried by others.
“He’s a life-and-death friend of mine,” said Su Ping simply.
They were indeed life-and-death friends.
It was just that he nearly caused the death of that guy.
“It makes sense now,” said the Deity of Six Realms.
Apollo was also enlightened. He had only asked the leader to give a space to the guy earlier after he begged and offered a lot of good stuff to him.
“You’re free to change your face when you’re here. If you’re bold enough, you’re free to adopt your face in reality. After you’re done, I’ll give you clearance so that you’ll be able to see us,” said Apollo to Su Ping.
I have to modify my face.
Su Ping was surprised. Once he saw that their faces were all shrouded by mist, he realized that it was meant to protect their privacy.
He instantly consulted the Lord Badge and soon learned how to change his face.
Very soon, Su Ping created a handsome face, which he believed was one tenth as attractive as himself. It was good enough; he preferred to keep a low profile when he was out.
“I’m done.”
“Yes.”
Very soon, Apollo finished adjusting the settings.
Su Ping instantly saw that the mist covering the other people’s faces was gone, revealing their real appearances. The Deity of Six Realms turned out to be a middle-aged man who had tattoos, or maybe energy circuits, on his face.
Su Ping was quite curious as he looked around.
Apollo looked like a kindhearted old man, but his eyebrows were long and sharp; blades were hidden behind the kindness.
Su Ping found that they had different faces and hair color from what he had seen before, and those on Rhea.
Every race had its own features. Su Ping speculated that since their privacy was protected, those people were probably unwilling to show their real faces, and might have created a different look than how they truly looked.
“Huh, Heaven Destroying Celestial, you don’t look bad. It’s also a style that I’ve never seen,” said a girl nearby.
Su Ping turned his head, and his eyelids twitched.
Her name was Jade Pool Angel.
The girl named Jade Pool Angel seemed to be in her twenties, exactly like how she sounded. She also had quite a pretty face.
Su Ping chuckled and said, “Thanks…”
“This isn’t your real appearance, is it? Do you look this handsome in reality?” asked Jade Pool Angel curiously.
“I’m ten times more handsome than this.”
“Seriously?”
Jade Pool Angel’s eyes glowed.
Her glowing eyes gave Su Ping a sudden shock, as if just having seen a wolf.
It was true that boys should also learn to protect themselves when they were out and about.
She must be quite ferocious!
“Sister Jade Pool, I’m heartbroken. How can you fall in love with someone so quickly?” said another young man.
Su Ping turned around and felt that he was on the verge of passing out.
Devil of the Netherworld…
Each of them was more childish than the other.
His own nickname didn’t seem as horrible anymore.
“I’ve just arrived in the Forest of Meteorites; I have to get down to business. Talk to you later,” said a cold-looking young man.
Then, his body faded away, and his chair was surrounded by mist.
Jade Pool Angel bashed the table and cried, “Brother Poseidon is truly diligent. He’s training in the Forest of Meteorites again. I want to go there too. Who can take me there?”
The Deity of Six Realms sighed and pitched in, “I want to go there too. Please take me with you.”
“The place is too dangerous for us. Brother Poseidon is truly lucky; he has a pet able to protect him,” said the Devil of the Netherworld with envy and regret.
Su Ping was quite curious, so he asked, “What’s the Forest of Meteorites? A training area?”
“You don’t know?”
All of them were stunned. The Deity of Six Realms asked in surprise, “Brother Heaven Destroying, are you from another galaxy?”
Su Ping was at a loss for words. He knew he had exposed some information by checking his companion’s expressions.
He quickly searched via the Lord Badge.
Some relevant information quickly popped up, but it was encrypted and he had to pay in order to read it.
The fee was rather high. A billion had to be paid!
Su Ping wasn’t short of money, so he paid the money up front. He then realized soon after that the Forest of Meteorites was a mysterious realm in Silvy.
That region was in space; it had a complicated environment. Many ferocious beasts lived there; it was one of the perfect places for Star State experts to train.
It was possible to capture Star State pets, or extraordinary ores and astral crystals there if one was lucky.
However, if luck was not on your side… you would never return from that place.
So, it’s a place for training. It looks similar to the top-ranking dangerous places in the Demigod Burial, where most Star State beasts are active.
Su Ping realized that such a training place was a rarity to others but not attractive to him, at all.
He had too many places where he could train pets and exercise.
Su Ping ended the session in the Lord Badge and said to the Deity of Six Realms, “No, I was just asking.”
Then, without giving the guy any chance to ask further, he said, “I have to go now. I’ll have to ask for your enlightenment later.”
“You flatter me. Brother Heaven Destroying, you must be in the beginning phase of the Star State too. Let’s talk later.”
The Jade Pool Angel called out, “Yes, Brother Heaven Destroying, let’s hang out in the virtual arenas sometime!”
“Okay, call me when you’re going.” Su Ping replied with a smile.
Su Ping quit the virtual nebula after saying goodbye to them.
It was their first meeting anyway; he wasn’t too familiar with the strangers yet. So, Su Ping never mentioned anything about pet training. He was still unable to train Star State pets anyway.
