One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

Chapter 396: All Green, Hanging Out at the Star Harbor!

Sponsored

[Year 61, age 85.]

[All-Knowing truly lived up to his reputation as an old local fixture; his centuries hadn't been wasted, and he had an incredibly thorough understanding of every aspect of Blazing Star.]

[He marked a route on the map, explaining that all the areas this path passed through were "no-man's-land" zones.]

[That meant no major powers had a hand in them—either uninhabited areas, ungoverned territories, or buffer zones between the great factions.]

[The orders of top-tier forces basically never reached these regions.]

[So even if the kid was exposed, the locals probably wouldn't even know he was being hunted.]

[Even so, you traveled cautiously the whole way, you and Ah Dou trying to avoid contact with people as much as possible.]

[During that time, All-Knowing also forged residence permits for you and Ah Dou in a city with a thriving black market industry.]

["Senior, you truly are all-powerful!"]

[Seeing you transformed into a member of the Green Skin Race, and Ah Dou with a face identical to yours, All-Knowing was filled with admiration.]

[Originally, forging permits for a human would have been very troublesome.]

[But you directly used [Calamity of Ten Thousand Races] to turn into a Green Skin, and then used [Someone Is Copying My Face] to make Ah Dou look exactly like you, which made things much easier right away.]

[Ah Dou touched his own face, feeling how rough it was. He got a little scared and grew reluctant.]

["Uncle Chen, have I become really ugly?"]

[The moment he thought that, [Someone Is Copying My Face] failed. This trait tag required the other party's consent to copy your face onto them.]

[You had no choice but to console him.]

[But Ah Dou wasn't so obedient about this matter.]

[After all, he was only three years old, driven mostly by instinct; being turned into a weird face naturally scared him.]

[Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner pulled out a special trick.]

["Yo! Kids, look over here! Today's performer is... the Mask! Watch my green face turn into the most ridiculous shapes!"]

[The banner's surface changed, taking on the appearance of the classic movie character the Mask, making all sorts of absurd and hilarious expressions.]

[Ah Dou was coaxed into laughing out loud.]

["Kid! Do you want to have this amazing face like me?"]

[Ah Dou was successfully tricked.]

[The problem was solved.]

[All this Earth pop culture that Old Wan talked about was stuff you had mentioned to them when you were bored.]

[A few months later.]

[You and All-Knowing arrived near the Star Harbor.]

[This was Blazing Star's only Star Harbor, and also the place where you had arrived on Blazing Star forty years ago.]

["Time flies, forty years gone in a flash... cultivation truly makes one lose track of time."]

[The Star Harbor was still busy.]

[Many Star Ships rose and fell within beams of seven-colored light, while members of all races came and went.]

[Blazing Star's Star Harbor was jointly managed by the Three Major Sects.]

[Naturally, the legions guarding the Star Harbor were also dispatched by each of the Three Major Sects.]

[The Dragon-Man tribe, skilled in soul warfare—Tiansha Sect.]

[The Winged Clan, born to fly and cultivating quickly—Feiyu Sect.]

[The Three-Eyed Clan, born with divine eyes that could see through falsehood—Qingqiu Sect.]

[The three legions didn't take turns on duty; they all garrisoned the harbor simultaneously.]

[Your idea of sneaking in when only the Dragon-Men were around had to be abandoned.]

[First, you'd try if changing your face worked. If not, you'd just have to fight your way through.]

["All-Knowing, you can leave now."]

[All-Knowing knew what you intended to do and nodded as he left.]

[After walking just a few steps, he turned his head and said.]

["Senior, be careful of the Three-Eyed Clan. They might be able to see through your disguise."]

["Thanks for the warning."]

["The Star Harbor's guards are several times more numerous than usual. If something happens and you have to break out, remember to head west. That's the Tiansha Sect's garrison area, all Dragon-Men."]

[You were taken aback for a moment.]

[You realized that All-Knowing knew you were formidable against Dragon-Men.]

[He naturally didn't know you had the [Dragonbane] trait tag; he had merely noticed that you were especially strong only against the Dragon-Man tribe. While you were still powerful against other Alien Races, there was a clear difference.]

[This guy truly lived up to the name "All-Knowing"—he was quite clever.]

[All-Knowing left.]

[You wrapped Ah Dou in the Celestial Emperor bellyband, then covered it with an extra outer blanket to conceal the bellyband.]

[Next, you put the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and other items you were carrying into your storage pouch.]

[Before going into the pouch, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner gave you a thousand reminders and ten thousand warnings.]

["Buddy! You'd better protect the little master well! If you can't handle it, let me take over, got it?"]

[Finally, you found an Exotic Beast nearby and stacked [Heartsteel] a bit.]

[The purpose of this was to make your height reach four meters.]

[Because adult Green Skins were generally twice the height of humans.]

["Shouldn't be any flaws now."]

[You carried Ah Dou on your back and walked toward the Star Harbor.]

[Star Harbor entry inspection.]

[You showed the inspector, who was from the Winged Clan, your and Ah Dou's residence permits.]

[After the inspector looked at the two of you, he remarked.]

["Whoa! How come this kid looks so much like you?"]

[You said with a smile.]

["Sir, if my son didn't look like me, wouldn't that mean I've been cuckolded?"]

[Looking at you, who were all green, the sir fell into deep thought.]

[Then, he noticed that Ah Dou's hands were wrapped in bandages.]

["What happened to the kid's hands?"]

["The kid was being naughty, grabbed some weeds, and got cut by the blades on them."]

["Open them up and let me see."]

[You calmly pulled a leather pouch out of your storage pouch, filled to the brim with Source Stones.]

["Sir, please show some leniency. The kid's still young, don't torment him. If it hurts and he starts wailing, it'll annoy you too, right?"]

[You handled the social niceties with perfect precision.]

[The inspector weighed the pouch in his hand, then pointed inside.]

["Alright, go on in. Keep an eye on the kid."]

["Yes, yes, sir! Thank you!"]

[You passed through smoothly.]

[Just as you were heading toward the beams of light, a squad of Three-Eyed Clan patrol members came walking toward you.]

[You kept your composure and brushed past them without incident.]

[You clearly noticed that, among this squad of Three-Eyes, several had the eye on their forehead flash toward you.]

[But they didn't find anything unusual.]

["Looks like the Three-Eyed Clan can't see through my disguise..."]

[You kept your expression natural, your steps relaxed, showing not a trace of guilt.]

[Finally, you joined the queue waiting to be teleported by the Star Ship's beam of light.]

[During that time, a Three-Eyed Clan general in heavy armor walked over not far away.]

["That human kid still hasn't been caught. Those people will definitely try to escape through the Star Harbor, but they won't be stupid enough to walk straight in. They'll definitely disguise themselves. Step up the identification efforts, don't let your guard down!"]

["Yes, yes, General Luo. Now that the Three Major Sects have all sent extra manpower, we definitely won't let any human slip into the Star Harbor!"]

[It was almost your turn to enter the beam of light.]

[Just then, the voice of that Three-Eyed Clan general came from behind.]

["Hey, that Green Skin up ahead! Come over here!"]
