Chapter 806: Divine Lady of the Nine Heavens
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
O'Neil was already an old member of the Alliance of Stars. Being the master of Rhea, he was quite social and talkative in the group chat.
He warmly greeted his group friends since he had run into them.
Many saw how close Su Ping was to O'Neil. They had detected that Su Ping was only a Void State warrior, but ended up mistaking him for being in the beginning phase of the Star State as O'Neil was.
All of them thought highly of Su Ping for his ability to conceal his strength.
Those who had noticed Su Ping weren't just O'Neil's friends, but also the experts in the middle and advanced phase of the Star State. They were slightly surprised to see that Su Ping was only a Void State expert; not because his level was too low, but because they couldn't see him through!
His disguising method was rather powerful!

Many old men in the middle and advanced phase of the Star State looked at Su Ping solemnly; they even thought more highly of O'Neil who came along with Su Ping.
Those in the middle phase of the Star State thought that Su Ping might be on par with them.
Those in the advanced phase of the Star State, however, thought that Su Ping also had a similar rank as theirs.
After all, they couldn't see through Su Ping nor make any judgment recklessly. It was also quite rude to simply ask someone about their cultivation level, and no one would bother answering, either.
It was like asking people about their wages at a party; it was like a slap in the face. n.o.body would answer that honestly.
After some small talk exchanges, Su Ping had found that the Star State members of the Alliance of Stars had different factions.
Those who were familiar with O'Neil were mostly in the beginning phase of the Star State—
As for those in the middle phase, they were all chit-chatting with each other.
Two of the only four advanced Star State warriors were talking; the other two were sitting alone, while those in the middle and beginning phases greeted them.
Hierarchy was truly everywhere…
It did make sense, though. It was completely unnecessary for those in the mid Star State to make friends with the weaker warriors, unless they had rare resources.
When Su Ping was following O'Neil and meeting his friends, a middle-aged man suddenly came and said with a smile.
“Brother Zeus, he must be the new member. I'm told that his name is Heaven Destroying Celestial. That's an awesome name; the leader will definitely love it when she hears it.”
O'Neil and the two men next to him, named “Demon Lord” and “Deity of Six Realms” respectively, were shocked to see the middle-aged man; they hurriedly bowed and said, “Senior Mighty Miracle G.o.d.”

The guy was a mid Star State expert, and had been in the Alliance of Stars longer than they did.
Su Ping nodded and greeted him.
“Brother Zeus, do you have any more Transcendence Fruits? Can you give me some? I can exchange secret treasures for them, or take you to the Zone of Meteorites for training. How does it sound?” The senior nicknamed Mighty Miracle G.o.d glanced at Su Ping, not saying anything else.
I might not be able to see you through, but so what?
You can't be an advanced Star State warrior, or you wouldn't be hanging around with Zeus.
So, you're probably in the beginning or the middle phase.
He wasn't too pa.s.sionate about making friends with someone of his own level.
Most of the experts who had reached the Star State were the proud sort; they hardly praised others unless they were truly impressed.
“Transcendence Fruits?”
Su Ping narrowed his eyes after hearing that.
O'Neil awkwardly coughed and said, “Senior, the Transcendence Fruits are very rare. I don't have any stock at the moment.”
The Mighty Miracle G.o.d raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Get some for me. I'll give you returns that you won't regret.”
“I'll definitely try my best,” said O'Neil quickly and sincerely.
He actually had a few fruits available. However, as he said, they were extremely rare. Why would he give them away so easily?
As for the exchange of items…
The man didn't have what he needed. If he exposed that he did have some fruits, the man would probably offer to exchange for something of less value, and would get angry if he turned him down.
“Please do,” said the Mighty Miracle G.o.d thoughtfully.
O'Neil quickly nodded.
Su Ping stood nearby while keeping silent. He would have believed O'Neil if he weren't from Rhea.
After the Mighty Miracle G.o.d left, O'Neil turned around and looked at Su Ping. They looked at each other and nodded.
Then, O'Neil led Su Ping to meet his other friends who were in the beginning phase of the Star State.
He didn't tell anyone that Su Ping was a grandmaster trainer, and was quite relieved after seeing that Su Ping didn't introduce himself as such.
The fewer people knew of Su Ping's ident.i.ty, the more advantages he would have.
Otherwise, everybody would be sucking up to him, even advanced Star State warriors. It would be harder for him to bond with Su Ping under such circ.u.mstances.
While everybody was talking, someone counted and found that almost everybody was present.
Only the leader and the deputy had yet to arrive.
Several minutes later, two people appeared in the Holy Light Palace. They were exactly the leader and the deputy, openly releasing an unworldly aura as if they were moving in deeper s.p.a.ce. They seemed visible but intangible.
Seeing the leader and the deputy who came last, Su Ping put on a smile.
Are bigshots always the last to show up?
The leader had fully revealed herself. She looked exquisite and no older than twenty, with round cheeks that made her rather cute.
However, her face was quite cold, making her seem like a deity that never walked on Earth.
Next to her was a brawny middle-aged man who had a broad chest. There was the wisdom of age in his eyes; he looked like a determined man.
“Are they all present? Yes, they are…”
Standing on the stairs, the girl looked around and said proudly, “Since you're all here, let's get down to business. The divine residence is about to be opened. According to my intelligence, three Ascendant State experts have shown up and carved up a path to enter the divine residence!”
“Ascendant State experts?”
“Three? Well…”
“So, the rumor is true. The divine residence is truly an Ultra S mysterious realm that has attracted Ascendant State experts. Tsk, tsk…”
“Doesn't it mean we came here for nothing?”
Everybody whispered to each other inside the palace after hearing what the girl said.
All the Ascendant experts were all celebrities in the Federation; they were on the same level as the presidents of the five best academies.
It was much harder for them to meet such figures, who were thousands of times more revered than emperors!
“No need to worry. That divine residence is extremely vast. The three Ascendant States will only go after the ultimate treasures in the deepest level.”
The girl gracefully sat down on a chair and naturally crossed her legs…
“The middle and peripheral areas are too insignificant for the Ascendant State experts. We can compete for treasures there!”
The girl said in a low voice, “We must thank the three Ascendant State seniors for cracking the barriers of the divine residence. We can't enter the place as easily without them. We must express our grat.i.tude to them if we meet them.”
“Of course.”
“The Ascendant State experts are invincible in the entire universe!”
“We all dream to reach such a realm!”
“Leader, you've found so much information. You're truly awesome!”
“Leader, you're a genius on the verge of a breakthrough to the Ascendant State. You will definitely reach higher levels in the future!”
Everybody in the palace accepted the order. Even the mid Star State experts—who were too proud to talk to the likes of Su Ping and O'Neil—were obsequious to her.
O'Neil and the others also praised her in unimaginable ways.
Su Ping wore a weird expression. He somehow felt he had mistakenly attended a motivational course.
“Keep a low profile. You must not expose my ident.i.ty so easily,” said the girl, frowning. But there was a smile in her eyes; she obviously liked the treatment.

Su Ping was rendered speechless after seeing the obvious delight on her face.
Just as he expected, the weird behavior in the group was caused by the leader herself.
Star State fellows like O'Neil were sophisticated and cunning; that was why they blindly adulated her.
Next to the girl, the brawny deputy stood quiet and indifferent.
“Once we get to the divine residence, listen to my orders and don't act recklessly. You will hand over all of your loot and I'll take care of the distribution. Those who make contributions will be generously rewarded. Mark my words!” the girl said casually.
Everybody shouted their support.
Right then, the deputy suddenly said in a low voice, “Leader, I think they're already starting.”
The girl was about to say something else, but stopped upon hearing that; she frowned and nodded sternly. The solemn expression on her young face made her look rather cute.
The girl rose and made a decision. “Okay, let's go there first. We'll talk after we get there.”
Everybody wore a different expression. Are we going to the divine residence?
The Ascendant State bigshots had opened the divine residence and were searching for the ultimate treasures deep inside. The items they didn't fancy were already precious enough for the others!
Su Ping looked at the girl and asked O'Neil in a low voice, “Brother Zeus, what's the name of our leader? How should we address her?”
O'Neil said with admiration, “The leader's name might sound intimidating. She is the Divine Lady of the Nine Heavens. Her full name is 'Divine Lady Who Was Born In Nine Heavens and Nine Earths, Master of Justice and the Cycle of Life'!”

Su Ping: “…”
I'm sooo scared.

“Keep your voice down. It's disrespectful to talk about the leader's full name!” said the nearby Deity of Six Realms with a determined tone; he was a fat middle-aged man.
1
He didn't keep his voice down at all; not only the Star State warriors, even those at the Ocean State could have easily heard him.
After all, the palace wasn't too large; all their voices could be heard with ease, as long as they didn't deliberately keep it down.
Su Ping instantly noticed that the girl on the main seat glanced at them. She obviously looked satisfied to see the loyalty and respect reflected on the Deity of Six Realms' face, even though her face was still cold.
Su Ping: “…”
“Let's go!”
The girl didn't seem to be interested in punis.h.i.+ng them. While pretending that she hadn't heard a thing, she waved her hand and a void vortex appeared beside her.
That vortex led to the fourth s.p.a.ce!
She had easily broken through multiple spatial layers. Is that the power of a Star Lord?
The people down the stairs were shocked. Even those in the advanced phase of the Star State were also shaken by this.
The girl seemed to be satisfied when she noticed their reaction. She wore a gratified smile as she stepped into the vortex.
1
The nearby deputy said as indifferently as a stone, “Keep up.”
The advanced Star State warriors were the first to enter the vortex while he stood and watched.
One by one, the others followed them.
The early Star State warriors, such as Su Ping and O'Neil, went last.
“Is this the fourth s.p.a.ce? We would have probably died immediately if we entered on our own.”
“This is exactly the magnificent power of our leader!” someone praised their leader again.
Admittedly, while the girl was rather vain, she did have a horrifying power.
Su Ping and O'Neil stepped into the vortex together soon after.
Right past the vortex, a void channel had been established to block the chaotic torrents roaming in the fourth s.p.a.ce.
The channel wasn't too long. They walked out through another vortex.
There was a s.p.a.ce outside the other vortex.
The group found itself in a vacuum, subject to powerful cosmic radiation; ordinary people would have suffocated, and their skins would have cracked at a fast pace.
However, everyone was a Star State warrior, except for Su Ping. They were able to manage the cosmic radiation with ease. They could also live off of the energy inside their cells without taking in oxygen.
They could also make use of the power of laws and create a s.p.a.ce where they could talk.
Still, n.o.body talked. Telepathic communication was more convenient; they didn't even have to open their mouths.
Su Ping had a lower cultivation rank, but his body was as strong as that of the Star State; he floated in s.p.a.ce without being affected in the slightest.
There were plenty of people besides Su Ping and the other members of the Alliance of Stars, as well as s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+ps, s.p.a.cecraft carriers and other military weapons which had surrounded the area.
Only a Star Lord could have cut into the fourth s.p.a.ce and led them directly into the circle with such ease.
“Is this the divine residence?”
