Yi was utterly bewildered. Could someone please tell him what on earth was going on?
"Roar! Roar!" Just as that thought crossed his mind, two Iron-Eating Beasts came riding clouds and charged into his tent.
Their gazes swept across the tent and landed on Yi. They nodded at each other, then hurried forward, seized him from either side, and dragged him outside.
"Hey, what-what are you doing?" Yi asked the two Iron-Eating Beasts as they hauled him out.
"By order of the Heavenly Emperor, you are hereby appointed Fate Star Lord. Come up to heaven with us at once."
"I... I haven't handed over my duties yet. I'm the chief of the Youxiong Tribe. I can't just walk away like this! Please tell His Majesty that I..."
"Enough prattling. You're going to heaven, right now."
"Could you perhaps..."
"No! Move!"
Deaf to all appeals, the two Iron-Eating Beasts kept dragging Yi forward, refusing to budge an inch.
"Chief, go with peace of mind! Come back and visit whenever you have time." Outside, many members of the Youxiong Tribe saw what was happening and bowed to him with clasped hands. Then they shouted in unison, "Congratulations, Chief, on your appointment as a god!"

But...
Those former chiefs were appointed after they died. I'm still alive! I'm not dead yet! Can't you wait until I die before taking me to heaven?
*I can't bear to leave the Youxiong Tribe or my unfinished ambitions behind. I still have to wait for Xuanyuan to sweep through the tribes and raise me to the position of Human
