Bai Qiuran Couldn't Fly

"You're quite strong?"

Lu Wu's voice sounded somewhat disappointed.

"So, you have no other Divine Power, huh... Fine, come with me then, let me see just how strong you really are."

Bai Qiuran looked at Jiang Lan, and the little girl coldly replied, "Go. Lu Wu not only manages the Capital Beneath Heaven, but is also the chief administrator of the Nine Divisions of Heaven. With the new god's appointment, it can act on behalf of the Heavenly Emperor."

"You should at least use respectful titles when addressing His Majesty."

Lu Wu reluctantly got up from the ground. His towering body, which was said to be comparable to ninety-nine tigers in legend, landed silently on the ground.

It turned and walked up a white jade staircase next to the Capital Beneath Heaven. Bai Qiuran glanced at Jiang Lan and followed Lu Wu, arriving at a platform higher up in the sky with him.

In the center of the platform was a recessed hole containing a huge black rock. Lu Wu came to the platform and raised his chin towards the rock.

"Go ahead, try to lift that giant rock."

Bai Qiuran looked at it, then walked to the edge of the giant rock. He reached out and tested it; the rock swayed, but didn't feel particularly heavy.

Considering that the Heavenly Gods beings are at least nine hundred feet tall, such a giant rock might only be a tool for them to practice their fingers. So Bai Qiuran and decided to do it this way, easily lifting the giant rock with one hand.

"Wow? You're pretty strong."

Lu Wu's voice softened.

"This giant rock is imbued with Divine Power; its weight is comparable to some of the most majestic mountains on earth. Even ordinary Heavenly Gods couldn't lift it, yet you lifted it so easily."

Bai Qiuran a moment, standing there holding a giant rock in one hand, unsure whether to put it down or pick it up, feeling very awkward.

However, Lu Wu ignored his feelings and said directly, "Since you can move mountains so easily, then try throwing this boulder as far as you can. Look, the sky is right outside, throw it however you want."

Bai Qiuran glanced at the dazzling Star River outside, then hesitated, "Aren't all the Stars outside Heavenly Gods? What if I accidentally throw something at them?"

"Ha, the vastness of this Star River is beyond your imagination. These Stars look like tiny specks of light right next to you, but in reality, they are tens of thousands of miles away."

Lu Wu laughed heartily, "If you can throw any other Star Gods today, I won't just clean up your mess, I'll directly petition His Majesty to grant you the Divine Office of a Ninth Division Rank Divine General."

"But you said it yourself."

Bai Qiuran tossed the rock ball in her hand like a bowling ball.

"I said it."

Lu Wu nodded.

Bai Qiuran picked up the rock ball and threw it out with a bang.

He didn't use the energy within his Purple Mansion, but simply relied on the strength of his physical muscles. Even so, the giant rock still exploded in mid-air the moment he struck it.

The shockwave spread out to the naked eye, and even in the Capital Beneath Heaven, a huge white ring could be seen in the sky. In the center of the white ring, a white trajectory stretched straight across the sky and pierced into the distant, brilliant Star River.

Immediately following, accompanied by a tooth-grinding collision, all sorts of curses from the Star Gods echoed through the Star River.

"Holy crap, what is that?"

"My back! My brace has been ripped!"

"Who's in charge of meteors? Did that son of a bitch forget to install brakes? I'm going to report you to His Majesty!"

"Watch out, Three-Legged Crow! It's coming towards you!"

Hearing the chaotic sounds coming from the Star River, Lu Wu took a small step back, then looked at Bai Qiuran with great joy and said, "Not bad, not bad, you really did it. I keep my word, I will go back and report to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor on your behalf!"

"Thank you Lu Wu."

Bai Qiuran cupped her hands in greeting to Lu Wu.

He had just thought about it and felt that in this era dominated by Heavenly Gods, it would be beneficial for him to seek a Divine Office in the Heavenly Court to gather information about the First-Generation Heaven's Envy.

As for the hostile relationship between the Heavenly Gods and Human Race, no one has stipulated that he can't betray them and become a double agent.

Lu Wu praised Bai Qiuran a couple more times. Before he could finish speaking, a large number of Stars suddenly broke away from their predetermined trajectory and flew towards this side from the direction of the dazzling Star River. During their flight, they gradually transformed into many tall and majestic Heavenly Gods with different appearances, surrounding the high platform.

"Which bastard threw that stone?!"

They cursed and looked down at the platform, only to see Bai Qiuran and Lu Wu standing on it.

"Lu Wu, the Supreme God?"

Upon seeing Lu Wu, the Star Gods all flinched slightly, then asked, "What are you doing here? And who is this...?"

"Let me introduce you. This is the newly born Heavenly Gods."

Lu Wu extended his claw and nudged Bai Qiuran, who took a few steps forward and bowed to the surrounding Heavenly Gods, saying, "Greetings, esteemed lords, I am Bai Qiuran."

"His Divine Power is boundless."

Lu Wu laughed and said, "That stone was the one I threw when I had him test his Divine Power. I'm planning to recommend him to be a Ninth Division Rank Divine General... What do you all think?"

The group of Heavenly Gods looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Excellent."

Then, as if they had forgotten the unpleasantness just now, they began to praise Bai Qiuran and Lu Wu. They praised Bai Qiuran his Divine Power strength and promising future, and praised Lu Wu for his discerning eye, saying that he was a talent scout who could discover a promising talent for His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.

Lu Wu skillfully made excuses to them for a long time, and after accepting several more social engagements, he finally managed to get these Heavenly Gods to disperse.

Then he turned to Bai Qiuran and asked for Bai Qiuran name, before saying, "Let's go back. I'll write a memorial and submit it. It will take several days for His Majesty to approve it. In the meantime, you should return to the ground and wait patiently... I'm sorry to trouble you."

Lu Wu told Bai Qiuran to go back first, while he himself rode on the clouds and flew towards the higher Heavenly Palace, seemingly to handle the follow-up matters.

Following its instructions, Bai Qiuran first returned from the white jade steps to the white jade square in front of the Capital Beneath Heaven.

Looking around the vicinity of Heavenly Gate, Bai Qiuran did not find Jiang Lan.

"Did you go back?"

Bai Qiuran was somewhat downcast. Although the young girl was not related to him at all, she had already done more than enough by bringing him here and introducing him to Lu Wu, but...

"I still can't fly, damn it..."

Bai Qiuran sighed as he walked down the jade steps toward the Milky Way. Although his true True Qi had been impacted by the Heavenly Dao and had gained some True Essence, that True Essence was too little for him and too high in quality for the Flying Sword.

There is no sword in the Mortal World that can bear his True Essence. Therefore, even if he had True Essence, Bai Qiuran's current weakness would still not be overcome.

"Is jumping the only option?"

Standing on the edge of the Milky Way, Bai Qiuran stretched out her foot and tiptoed.

"What if it falls into the ground...?"

"What are you doing?"

A cool, clear voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"I'm thinking about how to reduce the impact upon landing... Huh?"

Bai Qiuran turned her head and saw Jiang Lan standing behind her, and asked in surprise, "You didn't leave? I thought you went back by yourself."
