Star Ape, Go to the Void Realm to Find the Monkeys!

"You can go to this Patrol Battalion if you want, or you can cultivate in the house if you don't."

Or come to my residence and I'll show you around Vermilion Purple Star!

Don't worry about the residence permit; I've already arranged for someone to take care of it for you.

[Ji Wuqing is decisive and efficient; she's already made everything perfectly arranged for you on your very first day after landing.]

[You were just about to thank them.]

[A shadow fell from the sky; it was a giant sea turtle, but it could fly. A group of monkeys, dressed in uniquely designed armor, rode on its back.]

"These monkeys look so familiar..."

[The monkeys on the back of the flying giant sea turtle looked quite human.]

They don't all look exactly alike.

[Some have red fur, some have green fur, some have three eyes, some have four eyes—a motley collection, with all sorts of combinations.]

These monkeys remind you of those two divine monkeys from the Real Realm Human World — the Fire-Eyed Golden Monkey and the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey.

"They are Star Ape, don't you recognize them?"

[Ji Wuqing saw you looking up and spoke.]

[She glanced again at Black Wind beside you.]

"I thought you had an Ancient Divine Beast companion and knew about the Star Ape."

Before you could reply, the giant sea turtle in the sky suddenly glanced down at the ground.

[Then, a gust of wind blows, and two red-haired monkeys suddenly appear beside you.]

"Hehe! Isn't this Dragon Scale Horse? Which race are you?"

They're greeting Black Wind; they're not coming for you.

[The tall Black Wind figure hid behind you, head bowed, and spoke.]

"I'm lost. I don't know which race of Dragon Scale Horse I belong to."

[A red-haired monkey, seeing Black Wind's appearance, couldn't help but glance at you.]

"Hey, Dragon Scale Horse, judging by your appearance, you haven't actually acknowledged this Human Race as your master, have you?"

Black Wind nodded.

[The two red-haired monkeys looked at each other, then slapped their thighs, waved their hands, and laughed heartily.]

["Hahaha! This is hilarious! So much fun! So much fun! Take this news back to the King, he'll be so happy! This proud Dragon Scale Horse has actually chosen a master, he can laugh at them for ten thousand years!"]

[The two monkeys jumped up happily and leaped onto the turtle's back.]

They rode the flying sea turtle a little further and landed in the palace complex at the very center of the city.

[That is the central headquarters of the Ji Family, the Ji Clan Ancestral Temple.]

[This is also the main place where the core members of the Ji Family's main branch live and work.]

"Are they here to see your Ji Family?"

"Not only our Ji Family, but also the Human Race forces on Vermilion Purple Star are here recently, discussing something."

["What's up?"]

"Let's choose who to go to the Void Realm."

[Ji Wuqing spoke casually, as if it were no secret.]

"Why go to the Void Realm?"

The existence of the Void Realm is not something everyone in the Real Realm knows.

[But if one has some knowledge and experience, it's not surprising that they would know, so Ji Wuqing didn't find it strange that you knew about the Void Realm.]

"The eldest and second princes of the Star Ape clan have gone missing. They discovered that they had accidentally entered a black hole and fallen into the Void Realm."

The Star Ape clan is truly invincible in terms of physical strength.

Black holes can destroy all matter on Earth, causing it to collapse into a single point.

The two princes of the Star Ape actually survived falling into the black hole and even accidentally went on a trip to the Void Realm.

I really want to go to the Void Realm too!

Do you want to go?

You paused for a moment.

[That's where I'm from, that's what I mean.]

"Isn't it forbidden to enter the Void Realm from our universe? How does the Star Ape Clan plan to bring back their two princes?"

"Directly entering the Void Realm is certainly not possible, but the Star Origin Race Clan has a way to send a projection into the Void Realm."

However, their own people cannot project images.

Because creatures like the Star Ape and the Dragon Scale Horse are beings that truly belong to this universe, and even projections cannot reach them.

But we Humanoid Race are different. Our ancestors ascended from the Void Realm, and we still bear faint traces of that Void Realm on our bodies.

It's possible to project a phantom image and then bring back a monkey that actually belongs to the Real Realm, but it's not possible to bring back anything else.

The Star Ape have a fairly good relationship with us Human Race. They don't trust other Humanoid Race, so they came to Vermilion Purple Star to seek Human Race with us.

Everyone's vying for this one and only spot now."

"Even if it's projected, it's not that safe, is it? What's the benefit of winning this one and only spot?"

"Of course! You'll gain a favor from the Star Ape. If you ever face trouble in the future, no matter where you are, the Star Ape will always appear to help you through it."

"Are the Star Ape Apes that powerful?"

"Don't underestimate the Three Great Ancient Divine Beasts, brother. They have at least as many Immortal Emperor Immortal Emperor as we Humanoid Race!"

In the present universe, the Heavenly Emperor is missing; the Immortal Emperor is the most powerful being, whose divine might can rule an entire galaxy!

The more Immortal Emperor there are, the stronger the power will be.

The matter is now clear.

[Four-Eyed and Fiery-Eyed are the eldest and second princes, who have been banished to the Void Realm for many years.]

[They have most likely lost their memories, and may even have used some method to revive themselves.]

[Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to enter the Void Realm from the Real Realm unscathed.]

After years of investigation, the Star Ape has finally located the two princes and is preparing to rescue them.

[Following the normal timeline, Ji Wuqing should have obtained this spot later on.]

[but...]

Why can't it be me?

[Your mind is starting to wander.]

[You know the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey has entered the Real Realm, but they're still looking for "two" monkeys, which means the Four-Eyed Spirit Monkey didn't know which planet it landed on after leaving the Ascension Path.]

[If nothing unexpected happens, the Fire-Eyed Golden Monkey should still be in the Human World, because you instructed Hua Wuyan Fire-Eyed Golden Monkey to find a reason to prevent him from using the Ascension Path, at least delaying it until you're ninety years old.]

[Therefore, you are now the person who has the most information about these two monkeys.]

[It shouldn't be too difficult for you to get this spot.]

[Once this is done, both the Star Ape and the Ji Family will owe you a favor.]

[Leaving aside any potential benefits.]

[What's this?]

[Connections!]

[To be honest, you're finding it hard to stand struggling at the bottom of society.]

[From the Fortune Star to the Blaze Star, and from the Blaze Star to the Vermilion Purple Star.]

[Over the past few decades, we've endured immense hardship and witnessed countless tragedies.]

[If he had connections in higher-ups, he wouldn't need to run around like this, and he wouldn't let Alien Race control the safety of those around him.]

[Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to go back to the Human World and take a look.]

[This achieves multiple goals at once.]

"Miss Heartless, I have a favor to ask of you. If you're willing to help me, I'll consider my debt of sending Adou to you completely forgiven."

[Ji Wuqing looked at you curiously.]

"Tell me about it."

"I can get this spot! But I don't think I'm qualified to be involved in that event. Please take me there."

"How can you be so confident?"
