Chapter 468 The Allure of Starry Sky Techniques
"Pass the exam."
An electronic voice sounded.
The next second, Quill vanished.
Instead, another sarcastic voice emerged.
"Oh, Xiao Qingzi, I knew you could do it."
"Congratulations on becoming the master's disciple and Queen Xueyuan's little follower."
"Crackling and popping!"
Hearing the sound of firecrackers coming from who-knows-where, Xiao Weiqing looked helpless.
A full minute.
The sound stopped.
Xue Yuan said, "Little Qingzi, your divine body foundation is very good, your divine soul is incredibly powerful, and you have even comprehended a domain. At the fourth level, you have such combat power. You are really amazing."
In fact, she had experienced countless years in the universe with her master, and with Xiao Weiqing's talent, she was among the top in her memory.
None of the master's previous disciples possessed Xiao Weiqing's talent.
Most importantly, Xiao Weiqing is still so young.
Although age is not a measure of talent in most civilizations in the universe, twenty years on Earth may be just the time it takes for many humans to take a nap.
Compared to other similar civilizations, Xiao Weiqing was undoubtedly exceptional.
Xueyuan felt like she had won the lottery because of how outstanding she was.
The first inheritor to arrive here in tens of millions of years was so outstanding that he easily passed the first four tests set by the master and became a disciple.
Clearly, this is not his limit.
Faced with Xue Yuan's praise, Xiao Weiqing was not complacent, but simply listened quietly with a smile.
Xue Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to continue with the assessment?"
Xiao Weiqing didn't rush to answer, but instead asked, "What are the benefits of becoming a disciple now?"
"If I continue with the assessment, what are the risks, and what will I gain?"
Xue Yuan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's interesting. Alright, this queen will be merciful and tell you first."
"By becoming a disciple, you can gain the Queen's approval and enter here at any time."
"That's it?"
"What else do you want?"
Xiao Weiqing's face darkened. So, I risked my life, left my hometown, and traveled thousands of miles to the moon to undergo a life-or-death test, just to gain the approval of a neurotic woman who has been lonely for thousands of years?
"Senior Xueyuan, I heard from the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy that your master used his great power to imprison the origin of our Blue Star. Later, the Azure Dragon Divine Envoy, out of selfishness, also used the Divine Stele to tamper with the origin of the world."
"Our Blue Star civilization is now being invaded by the demon race and is on the verge of collapse. I hope you can tell me how to solve this problem."
Xiao Weiqing's expression was serious, and his tone was indifferent.
Xue Yuan seemed not to notice Xiao Weiqing's change, or rather, she didn't care.
He simply said:
"I learned about the Blue Star civilization through the four divine tablets when I was bored, but I cannot interfere."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiqing's expression turned even colder. Sure enough, everything about the Blue Star civilization was under the surveillance of the Star Dome.
"Hey, don't make that face."
"Surviving in space is far more brutal than you imagine."
"When our master perished, we came to this place and could have completely erased the origin of your world, then redefined the rules according to our own will, and cultivated successors for our master."
"However, the master did not do that, because when the master was a child, he witnessed his own civilization being ruthlessly destroyed by the powerful."
"The master always believed that even the weakest intelligent life form belongs to the universe from the moment of its birth and has the right to exist."
Xiao Weiqing scoffed, "I've heard that after your master fell, his followers split into several factions. One of these factions even took matters into their own hands and destroyed most of the life on Earth, causing species extinction."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yuan slowly suppressed her smile. "That's not how it is. I know this matter better than you do, because I was a witness. But do you know why I didn't stop it?"
Xiao Weiqing's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at Xue Yuan.
That's right.
Why wasn't anyone stopped?
If Xueyuan is the actual controller of the spaceship, does she really have no means to prevent her followers from fighting amongst themselves?
Xiao Weiqing didn't quite believe it.
If possible.
Why didn't she stop it?
Xue Yuan coldly replied, "My master is kind-hearted and has many followers, including not only humans but also demons."
"In that battle, all those at the Sovereign Realm perished, including Master and his four disciples."
"Before my master perished, he instructed me that the successor must be a human."
Xiao Weiqing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "You mean... one of your followers has betrayed your master?"
"That's right. Although the master didn't say it, I could sense it." Xue Yuan nodded. "Of course, the traitors may already be dead. Otherwise, no matter how magnanimous the master is, those remaining followers who escaped here wouldn't have survived."
Xue Yuan said coldly, "But no matter what the situation, I will never trust any of them again."
"So let those people fight if they want to; it would be better if they all died."
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly, and he even had a terrible thought: perhaps Xue Yuan was behind it all, or rather, guided it; in any case, she was involved.
Putting himself in Xiao Weiqing's shoes, if someone betrayed him, he would kill them on the spot and burn them to ashes.
Seemingly recalling some unpleasant memories, Xueyuan remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he regained his cheerful expression.
"In that great battle, the master's family treasured everything and had all their assets. There's really nothing left for you."
"The most valuable items are not something a mere disciple is qualified to inherit."
"So I'm sorry."
"Besides, with your current strength, you don't need that many."
Xiao Weiqing said calmly, "I've gone through life-or-death trials and passed the first four levels, and I don't even get any reward?"
Xueyuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, do you see those corpses in the square?"
"Um."
"Those were all the master's followers; some died in battle, and others died later in internal strife."
"Go and loot the corpse. You can take whatever you find."
Xiao Weiqing: "..."
"Don't mind them. They still have a lot of good stuff on them. You're only at the fourth level right now, while the weakest of those followers is at the Star Lord level. They have enough stuff for you."
"Those weapons and armor, if you just assemble a complete set, and take it back to Earth, wouldn't you be able to slaughter the demon demigods at will?"
"Then I'll end up scavenging for scraps and begging for food?"
Xueyuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Don't put it so harshly. You know, some people don't even have this kind of opportunity."
"Alternatively, you can continue to challenge the levels. If you become the master's official disciple, I can give you a powerful Starry Sky Technique."
