One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

【You had long heard of the great name of Vermilion Violet Star.】

【It is the largest First-tier Star in the entire Southern Star Realm.】

【And that “largest” doesn’t just refer to its size, but also to the level of prosperity upon it.】

【The most races, the most factions, the largest scale of organizations, the richest resources, the most secret treasures, and so on.】

【You were just planning to leave Blazing Star and find a First-tier Star to cultivate on, in order to accelerate your cultivation progress.】

【You decided to help Shen Yifeng out along the way, by bringing this child with you.】

【For others, escorting a toddler through a dangerous escape would be a burden, but not for you.】

【Because... 「Zilong! Zilong!」】

【This was bringing a buff for yourself, a red-daddy!】

【A Light Speed Fist with a hundred times the power?】 【You dared not even imagine how many Alien Races you could punch through with a single fist!】

【“Elder Chen, are you truly willing to undertake this journey?”】

【“To be honest, my immortal root isn’t high, and the environment of a Second-tier Star is already dragging down my cultivation. I had plans to go to a First-tier Star anyway, so consider this just conveniently finishing that errand…”】

【Before you could finish speaking, Shen Yifeng and Ma Bang had already knelt on either side of you, and you immediately went to help them up.】

【“There’s no need for this. I am human too. Even if I hadn’t joined the Torch Society, doing something like this is only right.”】

【“Don’t say that! This is a life-risking endeavor! Right now, all the major sects on Blazing Star are hunting this child. The marks on his palms can’t be hidden. By agreeing to carry him with you, you’re making an enemy of the entire Blazing Star! You deserve this bow from us!”】

【You tried it out.】

【And sure enough!】

【Those two characters “Sun” and “Moon” on the child’s palms—no matter what method you used to smear or conceal them, they always shone through from beneath the skin.】

【Even if you could block the glow with layers of wrapping, the moment his palm was exposed to the air, it would definitely be seen.】

【No wonder everyone from the Torch Society on Blazing Star had been killed.】

【Wherever this child went, it was like marking a location for the enemy!】

【But you also understood why the Torch Society was willing to protect him at any cost, and why the Alien Races were hunting him so crazily.】

【This was an SSR card drawn by the human race!】

【You helped the two men up and said, “This journey is perilous, and I can’t guarantee success, but I will do everything in my power—at the very least, I won’t let this child die before me.”】

【Ma Bang’s eyes were filled with tears.】

【“The Firewood Sect won’t let the Sixth Elder fight alone. We will all be your reinforcements, at your command!”】

【Hearing this, you couldn’t help but think of the Rebel Army on Fortune Star.】

【Just like this again.】

【A group of people protecting one person to escape.】

【Thinking of the scenes of the Rebel Army dying horribly while clinging to the Star Ship, you shook your head.】

【“This time, let me go alone.”】

【You didn’t explain further, only telling Ma Bang to help quickly gather some daily necessities for the child, and then set off immediately.】

【You figured this place was no longer safe; you had to leave at once.】

【Although you were decisive enough,】

【Just as dawn’s light was faintly breaking, hundreds of scout teams from the Tiansha Sect, numbering several thousand Dragon-Men, still stormed into Firewood Town.】

【They set up a perimeter detection formation around the outskirts, so they would know of anyone entering or leaving.】

【Then they went door to door searching for toddlers, checking the children’s palms.】

【“Hurry! Search for me! Dig three feet deep if you have to, but find that criminal! Remember! Take him alive! And stop knocking on doors—just barge straight in!”】

【“A two-and-a-half-year-old male child, with the characters ‘Sun’ and ‘Moon’ on his palms! Anyone daring to hide him! Punishable by extermination of nine generations!”】

【“Hand over the criminal! Lenient treatment!”】

【On the streets, the sounds of footsteps and shouted orders were deafening, along with the countless flapping wings of Dragon-Men in the sky.】

【The townspeople were all driven into the streets, helplessly watching their homes being ransacked and turned upside down by these Dragon-Men.】

【Although the Tiansha Sect was one of the three largest sects on this planet, the quality of these frontline enforcers was still a mixed bag, especially when dealing with humans.】

【Some took the opportunity to loot, plundering the people’s wealth.】

【Some vented their anger by beating people, even causing deaths.】

【And there were those with twisted tastes who targeted human women, scenes too indecent to behold.】

【On the streets, people glared at these bandits and thugs with furious eyes.】

【But there was nothing to do except swallow their anger.】

【One person stepped forward.】

【It was Granny He, the oldest person in Firewood Town.】

【She was already ninety years old.】

【A mortal, and a human at that, living to ninety in a world like this—how difficult that must have been was obvious. How many storms and hardships she must have endured, yet still survived to this day.】

【Granny He’s back was hunched nearly to ninety degrees, and she leaned on a cane, wobbling three steps at a time toward the Alien Race.】

【“You kill our people, you steal our grain, you won’t let us cultivate! All of that we can endure! But why won’t you even let a child under three years old off? Making such a huge commotion just to capture him! He’s so young, he can’t even talk yet—what crime could he have committed? What sin could he bear?”】

【The Dragon-Man scout leader glanced at Granny He.】

【“Where’s this dead old hag come from? Get lost!”】

【With a spread of his fleshy wing, he was about to swipe it at Granny He.】

【Seeing this, the surrounding residents couldn’t bear it and closed their eyes.】

【Some righteous and angry ones rushed over, trying to protect Granny He.】

【But how could a mortal’s speed compare to a cultivator’s?】

【The Dragon-Man’s fleshy wing was caught by an aged hand, unable to press down even a little.】

【“Hey, Dragon-Man big brother, can you do me this little old man a favor and spare this old lady? She’s over ninety already.”】

【It was Shen Yifang.】

【“Hmph! Ninety-something? I’m over five hundred myself! Who are you to act old with me? And who the hell are you, old man? Why should I give you face!”】

【“I am the Founding Ancestor of the Firewood Sect, Shen Yifeng.”】

【“Never heard of you! This old hag is spreading heresy, and I’m going to enforce the law right here! I won’t give face to anyone!”】

【Just as he was about to continue his attack, a commanding voice rang out from behind Shen Yifeng.】

【“Won’t you even give me face?”】

【You walked over slowly, hands behind your back, putting on the air of a powerhouse, fully charging the scene with authority.】

【But in the eyes of this Core Formation realm scout leader, his sensing qi told him that your cultivation was the same as his—also Core Formation.】

【Both Core Formation, why the hell were you putting on airs?】

【“Every random tom, dick, and harry wants me to give them face now? I, Mu Haha, am at least a captain here!”】

【Mu Haha raised his fleshy wing, dark light gathering on it, and slammed it down fiercely.】

【You shot forward, pulling Shen Yifeng aside, and raised one hand.】

【Soundlessly, your hand cut through the air like the world’s sharpest blade, easily severing one of Mu Haha’s fleshy wings.】

【Then, you curled your fingers into a claw, thrust forward, and ripped out Mu Haha’s heart!】

【This move was far too familiar.】

【The surrounding Dragon-Men recognized you immediately.】

【“It’s him! The mysterious man who destroyed the Sect Master’s physical body!”】
