It is said that the last three Heaven-Mending Fragment are located in a secret realm within the dwelling space of the Nine Heavens Race.

However, that secret realm was too mysterious, containing laws and powers completely different from those of the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds. Even if ordinary members of the Nine Heavens Race entered it, they would not be able to find the Heaven-Mending Fragment.

Therefore, hundreds of years ago, members of the Nine Heavens Race planned to find cultivators with strong luck to enter the realm and help them find the Heaven-Mending Fragment.

Unfortunately, fortune is a rather mysterious existence. Even for Immortal King, it is something that cannot be seen or touched, and can only be gleaned from ancient texts.

Therefore, although the Nine Heavens Race had long harbored this intention, they were powerless to realize it.

Until the emergence of the Primordial Rankings, which directly listed the most talented cultivators in the entire Three Thousand Immortal Worlds.

Isn't so-called talent closely related to luck?

Upon realizing this, the patriarch of the Nine Heavens Race made a decisive move, risking severe damage to his clan, and activated an ancient secret technique in an attempt to find the Heaven-Mending Fragment through the hands of cultivators on the Primordial Rankings.

This principle can be understood by powerful cultivators in the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds Realms with just a little thought.

After all, once one's strength reaches a certain level, even through self-comprehension, one can perceive a great deal of information about this world.

Moreover, the Nine Heavens Race's search for the Heaven-Mending Fragment is no secret; it's common knowledge throughout the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds.

"Rest assured, everyone, the Nine Heavens Race will do its utmost to protect the safety of cultivators entering the secret realm!" As if anticipating the thoughts of the powerful beings, the patriarch of the Nine Heavens Race spoke again.

These words gradually calmed the noisy crowd down a bit.

However, ordinary cultivators do not understand the intricacies involved; they only know that the hundred people with the strongest physique and talent on the Primordial Rankings will enter a secret realm together.

The cultivators looked up at the starry sky, filled with curiosity, wondering what kind of sparks this most talented person would create!

Within the secret realm of the Nine Heavens Race.

One hundred individuals with exceptional luck were randomly divided into groups of two or three and scattered throughout the secret realm.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, even the powerful figures involved were completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.

At this moment, Chen Honghu stood atop a cluster of meteorites from the starry sky, his dark eyes quickly scanning the surroundings.

Although the event was extremely sudden, he had not yet sensed any obvious danger, having spent several years training in the Primordial Secret Realm.

However, the moment Chen Honghu was drawn into the cyan eyeball, he swiftly switched to battle mode, surrounded by a layer of Immortal Qi, ready to strike at any moment.

"Click..."

A soft sound instantly put Chen Honghu on high alert!

The sound came from not far from Chen Honghu, followed by a series of "click" sounds.

Chen Honghu could only slowly approach the source of the sound. The closer he got, the louder the sound became, but surprisingly, it posed no threat.

This feeling was very strange. For Chen Honghu, who had been training in the Primordial Secret Realm for many years, he had long developed a unique intuition that could help him identify danger.

"Brush..."

Chen Honghu abruptly swept aside a small mound of earth in front of him and came face to face with the person who was the source of the voice.

However, Chen Honghu was met with a pair of large, sky-blue eyes. For a moment, the two stared at each other, both stunned.

Opposite Chen Honghu was a small boy, just over a meter tall, dressed in a blue robe, but sitting in a mound of dirt, his clothes were covered in dust.

When Chen Honghu swept away the mound of dirt, there were still a few stones in the little boy's mouth. The "crunch, crunch" sound that Chen Honghu had just heard was the sound of the little boy chewing stones!

"Burp..." Just as Chen Honghu was filled with doubt and surprise, the little boy slowly let out a burp.

Chen Honghu: "..."

Before the two could say anything, a faint voice came from the distant starry sky.

"Once you find the Heaven-Mending Fragment, you can all leave this place!"

"Whoever obtains the Heaven-Mending Fragment, my Nine Heavens Race will certainly spare no effort to fulfill all your demands!"

Then came silence; there was no other sound in the world.

Chen Honghu looked at the little boy, who was also staring at Chen Honghu with big blue eyes. For some reason, since arriving in this strange star field, his hunger had lessened considerably.

The little boy didn't bite into the pebble because he was hungry; he was simply bored and it was an instinctive action.

In the end, Chen Honghu spoke first. Seeing that the little boy's face was covered in dust and he looked harmless, he smiled kindly.

"Hello, my Chen Honghu."

The little boy glanced at Chen Honghu, his beautiful blue eyes reflecting Chen Honghu's smile. His expression froze for a moment, then he broke into a wide smile, "Y-hello!"

"Haha, what's your name?" Chen Honghu looked at the little boy, his heart softened, and he couldn't help but squat down and ask him gently.

The little boy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head in distress. "I can't remember, but it seems like everyone in the tribe calls me Foodie."

Foodie!

Such a strange title startled Chen Honghu, not for any other reason than that he had just seen this name before, and it was even on the Primordial Talent Rankings.

If Chen Honghu remembered correctly, this little boy's talent should be ranked second!

Chen Honghu's own talent was only tenth, so he paid attention to cultivators ranked above him.

In an instant, Chen Honghu's thoughts raced, and his gaze toward the little boy became much more complicated.

"What's wrong with you?" The little boy didn't understand any of the complicated things. He just looked at Chen Honghu, who had suddenly stopped talking, and tilted his head to ask him curiously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Honghu snapped back to reality, glanced at the little boy with a complicated expression, and then shook his head.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something. Since we're assigned to the same place, stay close to me. Who knows what might be in this secret realm? If you encounter any danger, I can lend a hand!"

Chen Honghu couldn't discern the boy's cultivation level, but couldn't help saying something because of his adorable appearance.

Upon hearing this, Chen Honghu immediately regretted his words. What if the other party was far stronger than him? Wouldn't he just be making a fool of himself?

To everyone's surprise, the little boy nodded eagerly and said gratefully, "Okay!"
