One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[You take a deep breath and decide to reveal one thing—you come from the Void Realm!]

[Although Shen Yifeng warned you not to disclose this to outsiders.]

[But that warning was aimed at the Alien Races. The Ji family is, after all, human.]

[Besides, you want to seize this opportunity to go to the Void Realm and use it to build ties with both the Ji family and the Star Ape clan. To do that, this matter must be brought up.]

[You lean your mouth close to Ji Wuqing's ear and whisper.]

["I come from the Void Realm!"]

[Ji Wuqing blinks her big eyes and bursts out laughing.]

["You don't believe me?"]

["I believe you, I believe you. Do you know where I come from?"]

["Actually, I come from an underground world—I'm a Core Earther!"]

["Really?"]

[The Ten Thousand Souls Banner pokes half its head out of the storage pouch.]

["Bro! She's messing with you!"]

[Ji Wuqing throws her head back and laughs, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.]

["Hahaha!"]

["I'm telling the truth. Anyway, take me to see those monkeys, and I'll definitely convince them to hand this task over to me."]

[Ji Wuqing pouts her small lips, rubbing her cheek with one hand as if deep in thought.]

["Fine then. The Jiang family is closing in tight, and the Ji family doesn't have many chances left. If what you say is true, it'll improve our odds a bit. Come with me!"]

[At the Ji family's ancestral temple, the Grand Resonance Hall.]

[A delegation from the Star Ape Galaxy is meeting with the various human factions on Vermilion Violet Star for the fifth time today.]

[Every human faction qualified to participate is a top-tier power on Vermilion Violet Star.]

[From ancient clans like the Ji family and Jiang family, to major sects and noble houses with Immortal Lord-level powerhouses at their helm—there are a total of thirty-six factions.]

[They've started arguing again over which faction should send the sole projection into the Void Realm.]

[Some pledge loyalty to the Star Apes, swearing eternal bonds through the ages.]

[Others offer treasures to the Star Apes, trying to sway monkey hearts with profit.]

[A few even propose marriage alliances, which triggers roars of laughter and waves of boos.]

[A group of Star Ape envoys crouch on their chairs, scratching their ears and cheeks, thoroughly entertained as they watch the humans squabble.]

["Hehe! Interesting, interesting! They even came up with marrying us!"]

[Ji family head Ji Baiming clasps his hands behind his back, watching his dignified ancestral hall turn into a chaotic marketplace, and sighs helplessly.]

[Logically, everyone here is someone of standing. Why are they scrambling like this over a favor from the Star Apes?]

[In truth, what the Ji family, Jiang family, and others really care about isn't the Star Apes' favor at all.]

[It's the Void Realm!]

[Everyone knows how hard it is to get to the Void Realm.]

[Immortal Kings, even Immortal Emperors—none can touch the Void Realm, except those with special abilities.]

[But even those cosmic powers, who might establish some connection to the Void Realm, can at most steal a glance.]

[Now, the Star Ape side has a way to project one person from the Real Realm directly into the Void Realm.]

[While they can't physically interact with Void Realm matter, they can go wherever they want, talk to Void Realm natives, and stay for a fairly long time.]

[This mission's research value far outweighs its practical gain.]

[For factions at the Ji family's level, anywhere in the universe is reachable given enough time.]

[But the Void Realm is a world they can never reach, shrouded in a mysterious veil.]

[As the saying goes: what you can't have, you always crave.]

[Their immense curiosity about the Void Realm—whether it holds cultivation value, or even secrets to immortality buried within—drives them to explore it desperately.]

[That's why all these clan heads, elders, and venerable masters are arguing endlessly here, making fools of themselves.]

[Seeing the scene devolve into utter chaos, Ji Baiming gently stomps his foot, releasing a vast, oppressive aura that silences the crowd.]

[Ji Baiming addresses Sun Xiaosheng, the leader of the Star Ape delegation.]

["Chief Xiaosheng, retrieving the two princes is a matter of utmost urgency. It cannot be delayed. I think you should decide on the candidate as soon as possible."]

[Sun Xiaosheng, crouching on his chair, laughs heartily and waves a hand.]

["No worries, no worries! The two princes have been missing for over a hundred years. If they're still alive, they're doing just fine; if they're dead, it's too late now anyway! So there's no rush! You all keep going, keep going!"]

[Ji Baiming knows these monkeys just love watching a good show.]

[A bit impolite, but not bad at heart.]

[Ji Baiming addresses the entire assembly.]

["Allow me to propose a method."]

[The faction leaders hold Ji Baiming in considerable respect, and they all turn to look at him.]

["According to Chief Xiaosheng and his team, the person going to the Void Realm doesn't need high cultivation—the Core Formation realm is more than sufficient. This is because the Void Realm's highest level is only late-stage Qi Transformation, and its cultivation methods are primitive, incomparable to ours. That's why every faction thinks their own people are qualified. But since we've held five meetings and still can't reach a consensus satisfactory to all, how about a tournament? The one who wins in the end will be the one to work with the Star Ape side. What do you all think?"]

[Before the crowd can respond, Sun Xiaosheng and the other Star Apes are nodding vigorously, like chickens pecking at rice.]

["Good, good, good! A tournament sounds great! A tournament sounds fantastic! Old Sun loves watching duels the most! Hahaha! Hurry, let's do it today, do it today!"]

[Before his voice fades, your resonant voice rings out from the hall's entrance.]

["No need for a tournament! The most suitable person to go to the Void Realm can only be me!"]

[Everyone turns their heads in unison, and countless gazes, along with cold probing energies, lock onto you instantly.]

[Bearing the crushing pressure, you try to step inside, only to find each step incredibly difficult.]

[Ji Wuqing timely pushes you from behind, channeling a surge of pure energy into your body, giving you the strength to resist the auras of the hall's experts. You stride in boldly.]

["Smack!"]

[A hot-tempered individual slaps his chair apart and rises to his feet.]

["Who are you! This is no place for you to speak! Get out!"]

[Ji Baiming furrows his brow slightly, noticing Ji Wuqing walking beside you, and speaks with a hint of anger in his tone.]

["Fading Moon, is this man your friend? Who gave you permission to bring him here?"]

[Ji Wuqing replies grumpily.]

["Dad, I've told you I changed my name. Why do you still call me Fading Moon?"]

["Get to the point!"]

["Fine, fine. He's my friend, and he says he can find the Star Ape clan's First Prince and Second Prince. What's more, he's the only one who can do it."]

[Instantly, the hall fills with jeering laughter.]

["Where does this wet-behind-the-ears brat come from? Not even a hundred years old, and he dares to spout such nonsense!"]

["Truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, kid! Do you even know how to write 'Void Realm' before running your mouth?"]

["Clan Head Ji, such an important meeting is no place to let in riffraff. Kick him out now!"]
