At the top level of the imperial palace, there was a stargazing platform specifically for the royal family members to admire the starry sky.
Wang Jinbao found a comfortable position and lay down on it, wearing his “light-year glasses.” He traveled through the vastness of light-years, immersing himself in the enchanting beauty of the stars without any distance.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful, incredibly beautiful… It feels completely different from when I watched it while riding the interstellar motion track…”
Just as he was deeply engrossed, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
“Who?!”
Instinctively, Wang Jinbao covered his stomach, his face turning pale with fear.
“Don’t be alarmed, it’s me.”
This voice… It belonged to his uncle?
Taking off his glasses and looking at the familiar face in front of him, Wang Jinbao patted his chest and complained, “Uncle, couldn’t you have given me a heads-up before coming? You scared me to death.”
Li Lanting, dressed in a pure white jelly-like outfit, showcased his fair and tender skin. With his exquisite features, he exuded an air of nobility.
“If I don’t appear out of thin air, how can I demonstrate my extraordinary spatial talent, nephew?”
Wang Jinbao said, “…Why are you here? Wenjing and Wenjie will be here soon. If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Li Lanting touched his nose and said, “The Emperor Star’s first Mecha Arena Tournament has begun.”
Wang Jinbao replied, “I know. I, as a man, personally kicked it off.”
Li Lanting cleared his throat and lowered his head, saying, “You, um, you should casually participate in the competition and bring back the first prize.”
Wang Jinbao asked, “…What did you say?”
Li Lanting lowered his head, looked at his jelly-like shoes, and pouted, saying, “I said, you should join the competition and casually bring back the first prize.”
Wang Jinbao replied, “I can participate in the competition. As for the first prize… you might as well kill me.”

“Don’t lose heart!” Upon hearing Wang Jinbao’s response, Li Lanting became anxious and grabbed his shoulder, encouraging him:
“Jinbao, you must believe in yourself! You are the only direct bloodline descendant of the Li family. Your Heartbeat Power talent far surpasses ordinary people, and the divine Mecha left by the Li family exceeds the civilizations of not just one but the four major star systems! That first place in the competition is within your grasp! Believe in yourself, Jinbao, you can do it!”
Wang Jinbao wrinkled his little face and asked in confusion, “Uncle, what exactly is our Li family? The way you speak, it seems like our Li family is even more extraordinary than the royal families of the four major star systems?”
Li Lanting replied, “…This, it’s not convenient for you to know right now. I will tell you everything once you win the first place in the Mecha tournament.”
Wang Jinbao must obtain that blood; he couldn’t let it fall into someone else’s hands!
“The last vial of Emperor’s blood from the Li Royal Family must not end up in the hands of those despicable slaves and traitors!”
After closing the terminal, Li Lanting distorted the spatial structure of the graffiti wall with a wave of his hand, returning to his own territory. He touched the grim scar on the back of his right hand, feeling the pain in his heart, and silently said:
“No matter what Emperor Ming Sen’s intentions are this time, we must not let the Emperor’s blood be lost to the outside! Brother, I don’t need you to say such things, I already know. Rest assured, Jinbao will succeed. We have to believe in him.”
He raised his eyes and looked at the starry sky in this spatial realm. Sadness appeared in Li Lanting’s eyes as he murmured, “Master… How are you now… We will definitely save you… We will!”

Chapter 22: Huang is Known as “Bai Xiaoji”
In the preliminary round, a “Battle of Humans against Heaven” format was adopted.
The so-called Battle of Humans against Heaven meant a one-on-one battle against the celestial power of the Star Alliance – the Tian Dao Mecha. Each person faced a Tian Dao Mecha two levels higher than their own, with variations. The length of time one could hold on would depend entirely on individual abilities. In the end, the rankings would be determined by the duration of persistence, and the top one hundred players would advance to the finals.
This format relied solely on individual strength, preventing external interference. It effectively prevented influential families from cheating to ensure the advancement of their pampered scions to the finals, while leaving capable but background-less participants helplessly eliminated in the preliminaries.
atOptions = { ‘key’ : ‘819083b5141e2ddc81cd1b66b82e3d92’, ‘format’ : ‘iframe’, ‘height’ : 250, ‘width’ : 300, ‘params’ : {} }; document.write(”);
At the registration deadline, a total of more than 163,000 people participated, involving talented young individuals from the four major star systems, spanning over three thousand stars.
Among the preliminary round participants, only the last one hundred would proceed to the finals.
The competition can be described as extremely fierce.
During the preliminary round, participants did not need to come to the Emperor Star. Wherever they were within the four major star systems, the “Maha Crystal” distributed by the Emperor Star would be teleported to their location based on the position of the smart terminal they used for registration.
“Dong—!!!”
At the moment the Emperor Bell rang, the heavy sound of the bell reverberated throughout the four major star systems!
“They’re here!”
In various territories and corners of the four major star systems, figures suddenly raised their hands, and a silver crystal was teleported out of their smart terminals, absorbing the individuals entirely within its shining brilliance!
After everyone had entered the crystal, the Maha Crystal trembled and instantly turned into a faint light, disappearing from sight.
“It has begun.”
“Don’t let anything happen… Please, don’t let anything happen.”
Wang Jinbao was too stubborn.
No matter what anyone said, he refused to listen and insisted on participating. No matter how much Huang Wuji tried to persuade him, he couldn’t change his mind. Instead, he was bombarded with a barrage of reasons from his young wife.
“Darling, don’t worry! I can remotely control it without anyone noticing. Because, hehehe, I can turn invisible!”
Turn invisible?
How is that possible?
How could something from ancient mythology centuries ago be happening to him?
However, the scenes that followed left him completely speechless.
atOptions = { ‘key’ : ‘819083b5141e2ddc81cd1b66b82e3d92’, ‘format’ : ‘iframe’, ‘height’ : 250, ‘width’ : 300, ‘params’ : {} }; document.write(”);
Wang Jinbao actually turned invisible!
More precisely, it wasn’t he himself who turned invisible, but his giant yellow chicken-like Mecha, which had the ability to make him invisible!
“Commoner, this supreme and holy spell of mine, how can you, a lowly creature, comprehend it? Hehe, I’ll give you a mocking smile as a gift. Experience it yourself.”
However, just the fact that his young wife’s Mecha could speak human language was already shocking enough, but when it uttered those arrogant and extraordinary words, it easily made people explode in anger.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was his young wife’s Mecha, he would have dismantled it on the spot! In the completely unfamiliar starry sky, Wang Jinbao curiously stepped on the stars, occasionally witnessing the beauty of magnetic lights passing by, which was truly mesmerizing.
Beside him was a cute and chubby giant yellow chicken.
With its claws, the giant yellow chicken carefully weaved the flowing magnetic lights, eventually forming a beautiful and holy magnetic light flower crown. Proudly, it placed the crown on its head, and when it walked, its tail almost reached the sky.
“Da Huang, you have such a strong personality when you speak. You left Huang Wuji speechless and unable to retort. Teach me how to do it too. I want to learn,” Wang Jinbao said, supporting his lower back. He moved freely in the starry sky, enjoying the breathtaking stellar scenery that he could usually only see through light-years of distance. He was in a great mood.
Upon hearing this, the giant yellow chicken wrinkled its chicken face unhappily and said, “How many times do I have to say it? Don’t call me ‘Da Huang,’ like some lowly dog’s name. It’s an insult to my temperament!”
“Did a dog offend you? Why is it lowly?” Wang Jinbao couldn’t help but retort.
Raising its chicken neck haughtily, the giant yellow chicken’s eyes suddenly filled with intense memories. It murmured, “I once had a common name, Bai Xiaoji. You can call me ‘Ji Ye,’ and I can reluctantly acknowledge you as my lackey dog leg.”
The corner of Wang Jinbao’s lips twitched, unable to find any words to respond. “…”
