Open up and break into another world

After paying the Godstones, they entered the Holy Emperor Hall.

Soon, a seemingly righteous and dignified god led Xu Ming and Si Si over.

“You two are here to apply for the Star Badges, right? Let me briefly introduce them to you!” the seemingly righteous god began to explain.

Xu Ming listened and quickly understood.

Newly applied Star Badges are all “One-Star”. If you want to upgrade your Star Badge, you must meet two conditions.

The first condition is to possess sufficient strength! For example, if you want to upgrade your Star Badge to “Three-Star”, you must first be at least a “Three-Star” level god!

The second condition is to have sufficient contribution! The honor and status conferred by the Star Badge are not given to you for free! If you want to obtain a high star rating, you must first complete some “Badge Missions” and obtain sufficient contribution points!

Star Badges are divided into ten star levels. The higher the star level, the higher the status in the Divine Domain!

A Three-Star Badge allows free access to Lower-Ranked God Cities and qualifies you to enter Middle-Ranked God Cities! Jin Wu City is a “Lower-Ranked God City”!

“Holy Emperor City!?” Xu Ming's heart couldn't help but jolt — this was the first time he had seen the words “Holy Emperor City” in the Divine Domain!

“To actually need a Ten-Star Badge to be qualified to enter the Holy Emperor City…” Xu Ming was secretly shocked, “No wonder Yin Ran said that to obtain a ‘Ten-Star Badge’ is the only way to be qualified to say the word ‘responsible’ to her!”

That's right!

If he didn't obtain a Ten-Star Badge, he wouldn't even be able to enter the Holy Emperor City, so what was there to talk about “responsibility”?

But… is the Ten-Star Badge the highest level badge?

No!

Above the Ten-Star Badge, there is also the “Silver Moon Badge”!

Above the Silver Moon Badge, there is also “King Conferment”!

Above King Conferment, there are also “Emperor” level existences!

However, Xu Ming didn't know about these things yet! He also didn't know that even if he successfully obtained the Ten-Star Badge, it would still be far from enough to be qualified to be “responsible” to Yin Ran!

The reason why Yin Ran said those words to Xu Ming at the time was actually… to give Xu Ming some hope!

Yin Ran was worried that once Xu Ming knew the true requirements to be “responsible” to her, he would fall into despair and give up on her! Therefore, she first set a “small goal” for Xu Ming; and she herself would be in the Holy Emperor City, trying to delay the “marriage recruitment” time as much as possible, to give Xu Ming time to grow.

If she really couldn't delay until Xu Ming grew up, then… Yin Ran might no longer exist in the world!

“What exactly is the Holy Emperor City? To actually need a Ten-Star Badge to be qualified to enter…” Xu Ming couldn't help but ask.

Si Si, who was beside him, also had a shocked expression.

The seemingly righteous god didn't answer, but instead said: “If you don't know, don't ask too much! When you are qualified to know, you will naturally know!”

Immediately, two cyan talismans appeared in the seemingly righteous god's hand.

The talismans were covered with runes that Xu Ming couldn't understand. Moreover, the talismans were extremely tough, and even ordinary gods would find it difficult to tear them apart.

“Imprint your life aura on these talismans respectively!”

Xu Ming and Si Si both took the talismans, instantly completed the imprinting, and returned the cyan talismans to the other party.

“Excuse me, when can we get our Star Badges?” Xu Ming asked.

“If it were before, I could immediately issue the Star Badges to you! But now…” the seemingly righteous god said with some doubt, “I don't know why, but the Hall Master actually wants to personally review every Life Talisman! Therefore, I can't guarantee exactly when the review will be completed and the Star Badges will be issued to you! — It could be within a month, or even a day or two; if it's slow, then I don't know when it will be!”

Xu Ming was slightly stunned: “So that's how it is…”

However, Xu Ming didn't care, after all, he wasn't in a hurry to obtain the Star Badge.

What Xu Ming was most eager for was to quickly improve his own strength! Only strength is the true path!

At this time, the seemingly righteous god suddenly winked and smiled at Xu Ming and Si Si: “The Hall Master has already accumulated many Life Talismans that haven't been reviewed yet! If you want to get your Star Badges a little earlier, I can still help by putting your two Life Talismans at the very front, so that the Hall Master can review them earlier!”

“Oh?” Xu Ming was stunned — what a good person!

“Then thank you!” Xu Ming cupped his hands and smiled.

“Hmm?” The seemingly righteous god's expression was a little unpleasant, “Didn't you understand what I meant?”

“Your meaning?” Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, “If you help, how many Godstones will it cost?”

“Not expensive!” the seemingly righteous god said, “Ten thousand Godstones per Life Talisman!”

Ten thousand Godstones!

And that's “not expensive”?

Although Xu Ming had more than a million Godstones on him, these were all spoils of war that Xu Ming had obtained through life-and-death battles! Why should he take out ten or twenty thousand to “bribe” the seemingly righteous god in front of him?

“Then never mind, I'm not in a hurry!” Xu Ming said, and prepared to leave.

“Wait!” the seemingly righteous god said again, “If you're poor and don't have that many Godstones, that's okay! For a thousand Godstones, I can help you move up to a relatively earlier position!”

“Really, no need!” Xu Ming directly took Si Si and left the Holy Emperor Hall.

“Hmph! Two poor ghosts!” the seemingly righteous god snorted disdainfully, “Being poor is one thing, but being so arrogant! I'll just put your two Life Talismans here and hold them for a while!”

Thinking this, the seemingly righteous god directly put Xu Ming and Si Si's Life Talismans into his own World Ring.

In fact, with the Hall Master's review speed, he could review thousands or even tens of thousands of Life Talismans in the blink of an eye; how could there be any Life Talismans piled up and not reviewed? The reason why the seemingly righteous god said this was just to trick Xu Ming out of some Godstones!

Now that he hadn't tricked any Godstones, of course he was unhappy; therefore, he wanted to put Xu Ming and Si Si's Life Talismans in his hands first and hold them for a while, and then send them to the Hall Master for review after a while.

Swish!

The seemingly righteous god suddenly took out a stack of Life Talismans — of course, this did not include Xu Ming and Si Si's.

“This stack of Life Talismans has been held here by me for several months! I'll send them over and let the Hall Master review them!”

The Hall Master of the Holy Emperor Hall was high above, rarely seen. Naturally, he wouldn't personally ask about such trivial matters as sorting Life Talismans, and would leave it all to this seemingly righteous god to handle.

However, this seemingly righteous god would never have thought that his delay of Xu Ming's Life Talisman would lead to a great disaster.

The third update is complete.
