Zhong Yi was making it clear to Star Night that whether or not he decided to join Soul Soil was completely unrelated to Zhong Yi obtaining this Heavy Treasure for him.

When Star Night remained silent after all this, Zhong Yi continued.

“I know very well how important it is to increase one’s strength.”

“Not long after I logged onto the Virtual Source Network, I somehow muddled my way into becoming a Zhenxing C Level Talent during the Ranking Competition.”

“After that, I joined a B Level Influence and took first place in a Second Level Secret Realm opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company.”

“I also luckily got a Monopolizer Badge, which is how I got the chance to exchange for this Heavy Treasure.”

Since Zhong Yi was inviting Star Night to join Soul Soil and giving him the Star Meteorite Debris from the Virtual Source Network, he decided to be completely open about his achievements there.

Every word from Zhong Yi was like a clap of thunder, exploding by Star Night’s ears.

Zhenxing C Level Talent, Monopolizer Badge!

These were the absolute highest achievements for a talent on the Virtual Source Network.

For Star Night, who had struggled just to become a C Level Talent, the title of Zhenxing C Level Talent was an accomplishment he could only look up to.

And the Monopolizer Badge, issued by the Wanyu Gambling Company, could basically be considered a legend on the Virtual Source Network.

Zhong Yi had only been on the Virtual Source Network for a little over a month, yet he had already obtained all these achievements.

‘How could ‘Zhenxing C Level Talent’ be associated with ‘muddling through,’ and ‘Monopolizer Badge’ with ‘luck’?’

If he didn’t know what kind of person Zhong Yi was, Star Night would have suspected him of humblebragging right to his face.

Star Night, who would normally remain unperturbed even if a mountain collapsed before him, now had a rare look of utter astonishment on his face.

After a long moment, Star Night picked up the Crystal Bottle Zhong Yi had placed on the table.

He looked at the Star Meteorite Debris inside the Crystal Bottle, then turned his gaze seriously to Zhong Yi and said:

“Xiaoyi, I’ve always known what it means to join a private influence.”

“It means I’ll no longer be able to guard Starlight City with complete impartiality.”

“However, I am willing to join Soul Soil and become one of your subordinates.”

“Your birth in this Guardian Beast World, a world outside the scope of the Nine Great Ecosystems, is truly this world’s good fortune.”

“After learning the true nature of Secret Realms and the rules for world upgrades, I’ve constantly worried for the safety of the Guardian Beast World.”

“Right now, the Guardian Beast World appears to be a collection of hundreds of federations, with hegemons on every continent.”

“But in reality, the entire Guardian Beast World is completely fragmented.”

“If an expert from another world decides to invade the Guardian Beast World, this false prosperity could collapse in an instant.”

“Take the Dragon’s Roost Continent, for example. The Xin Xia Federation and the Blazing Kite Federation have irreconcilable conflicts.”

“What you’ve told me today has given me a sense of bright hope for the Guardian Beast World.”

“You will lead the Guardian Beast World to true prosperity.”

As he spoke these words, a look of hope and aspiration appeared on Star Night’s face.

Even a common person knows that every man has a duty to his country.

An expert like Star Night, who stood at the peak of a world, would naturally worry about the future of the Guardian Beast World.

Now, Star Night had finally found a way for the Guardian Beast World to have a brilliant future.

That way was to follow in Zhong Yi’s footsteps and act according to his will.

Star Night was certain that Zhong Yi must have feelings for the Guardian Beast World.

Otherwise, a talent like Zhong Yi would have long since accepted an invitation from some powerful influence to settle in another world.

Some powerful worlds or influences would offer extremely generous conditions, using the Virtual Source Network to recruit talent into the real world.

In fact, Zhong Yi had indeed received many such invitations, but he hadn’t replied to any of them.

Zhong Yi knew every method of Evolution for every Guardian Beast in the Guardian Beast World.

Although Zhong Yi was a Transmigrator, the Guardian Beast World itself was a world he had personally created and designed.

“Star Night, Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan have already grown.”

“Zhong Ling has a 90% chance of becoming a Zhenxing C Level Talent.”

“Shen Xuan’s chance of becoming a Zhenxing C Level Talent is also over 50%.”

“You’ve been using your resources to cultivate me until now. From now on, I will do everything in my power to help you grow stronger.”

“I’ve heard that there is a higher level above the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, called the Divine Fire Tier.”

“Star Night, you can set a small goal for yourself and start working toward the Divine Fire Tier now.”

Star Night had met Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan before and had some understanding of their Talent.

Star Night didn’t doubt Zhong Yi’s claim that the two of them could become Zhenxing C Level Talents.

‘How did they manage to transform so much, one after another, in such a short time?’

‘If I really could have all sorts of rare materials poured into my cultivation, aiming for the Divine Fire Tier might not be impossible.’

Now that Star Night had joined Zhong Yi’s influence and become his subordinate, it was imperative that he—as currently the strongest person under Zhong Yi—improve his own strength.

For any influence, besides strengthening its foundation and cultivating new talent, the most important thing was to raise its peak combat power.

“Xiaoyi, I understand.”

“If my Fallen Star Night Qilin can achieve another Evolution through this Heavy Treasure Rule Authority…”

“I should be able to contend for a position as a B Level Talent.”

Zhong Yi didn’t say much more to Star Night about the future development of Soul Soil.

Right now, for both Zhong Yi and Star Night, the most important thing was to increase their strength.
