Chapter 382: The Gold Standard To Climb The Divine Gate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

North of China, in Cloud Fog City, the high school of a staff member’s family.

An “Azure Dragon Learning Group” signboard was hung in the association’s activity room.

Saki Yamanashi, 13 years old, was just like a beautiful girl. She had a solemn look on her face and was teaching a group of young and old kids a lesson.

Initially, she wanted to name the association “Azure Dragon Club”…

Later on, an extraordinaire teacher from their school found out, who said that it would be too bad of an influence for the students if they established an organization.

However, considering that Azure Dragon was the savior of Cloud Fog City, they could just change it to “Azure Dragon Learning Group”…

“Our slogan is…”

“Swear to plead loyalty to Lord Azure Dragon!”

“Our goal is…”

“Become the claws and teeth of Azure Dragon!”

Right then, a young boy suddenly pointed at the activity room’s window. “Sister Saki, there’s someone at the window.”

Saki Yamanashi immediately looked up, she saw a strange man with mustache looking into the activity room.

She instantly activated her Demonic Ability and became more alert, after that she sensed a familiar aura from him.

She made a guess and was slightly relieved, then she waved her hand and said, “Continue learning, I’ll be back soon.”

After she said that, she walked past rows of students with her head high and chest out, whereas they lowered their heads as they sent her off.

When she arrived outside the activity room, she had a good look at that person’s face.

The mustache man was seen wearing a black robe, she thought to herself, ‘Isn’t the black robe my master’s? No wonder there’s a familiar aura.’

She seemed to have understood, so she asked, “Sir, did Master send you here?”

Naturally, she was polite towards anyone that belonged to Master.

“Hehe, that’s right, you’re really smart, you’re worthy to be chosen by master. You can just call me Black Robe since we’re both serving master, you don’t have to be so polite.” Black Robe put on an odd smile.

“Hmph, I’ll only render service to one person in the future. Master is master, I’ll repay his kindness on my own.” Upon hearing that, Saki Yamanashi immediately refuted.

“Hehe, is that so?” A chilly look flashed past Black Robe’s eyes, which disappeared after. He then continued, “Master asked me to bring you somewhere, you should know that the Divine Gate is opened.”

“Divine Gate?” Saki Yamanashi instantly immersed herself in her memories and had a sudden realization. “Yesterday morning, a strange voice did tell me this, ‘the Divine Monument has appeared, the Divine List is out, the Divine Gate is opened’, but I can’t go there, isn’t there an ocean over there?”

“Hehe, you’re a child after all,” Black Robe said faintly, “It’s the reason why master asked me to bring you.”

“When I’m there, will I be able to meet Lord Azure Dragon?”

“Of course, he’s the one who opened the gate.”

“As expected, for a huge event as such, Lord Azure Dragon is definitely the main character again, I knew it.” Saki Yamanashi looked like she was looking forward to it.

Upon hearing that, Black Robe was indifferent.

“Wait for me, I’ll have to go settle the young ones before I follow you.”

Black Robe was very patient, he nodded and agreed.

He knew that although this young lady was inconspicuous, she was chosen by the master.

Once she finished her cultivation, she could become the ninth demon general of the Paradise Realm.

Not only would the arcane realm advance, she could also become the ninth paradise lord, such that her ranking would certainly not be below his.

That being said, he was the master’s most loyal footman.

Be it a demon general or a paradise lord, they would never truly pledge loyalty to the master.

A brief moment later, Saki Yamanashi came out again and she looked rather excited.

“Don’t you want to greet your family? We might need to be gone for a very long time, probably a month.” Black Robe asked abruptly.

When Saki Yamanashi heard that, her face suddenly turned gloomy and said, “I don’t have a family, they’re all dead.”

Therefore, Black Robe no longer said anything else, he only stretched his robe out, then the two of them vanished.

…

In China’s Greater Rat Kingdom’s underground city.

Elder Ancestor Bai was waiting in a big conference room.

Since the Heavenly Edict yesterday, the entire Greater Rat Kingdom had been operating furiously.

Benefitting from the newly built information management network, most of the information of qualified greater rats were almost entirely stored in their databases.

Character, strength, age, qualification, specialty…many details were available, which could be directly extracted for important figures to filter.

They also heard that a decision system would be installed later on, which would make things even more convenient.

Elder Ancestor Bai took a glance at the participants then said kindly, “Greater Rat Clan has many excellent talents, out of seventy million talents, the database has can filter and select three hundred heroes. Even so, the demon clans on earth can only select a total of ten demons to participate. I wonder, who do you think should represent the Greater Rat Clan?”

When the crowd heard his question, they pondered quietly, nobody took the initiative to reply to his question.

Elder Ancestor Bai did not think that they were being disobedient, he just turned to face a young man and asked, “Shixin, what do you think?”

Bai Shixin looked composed. He was wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses at the moment which made him look more like an intellectual, as he looked more elegant with it.

He had no idea if it was because he had lost all his magic which caused his physical quality to deteriorate, adding onto many nights spent studying overnight that caused his short-sightedness, or there was another reason to it.

He adjusted his glasses before he responded to the question, “Three hundred heroes, each of them outstanding, tough and strong, it’s really a tough decision. Despite that, I know whoever gets chosen needs to meet a gold standard.”

The crowd present immediately set their eyes on him.

“What gold standard?” Somebody uttered suddenly.

“Fine morality and an upright behavior.”

When the demons heard him, they all burst out in a laugh, did he really just said that to rat demons?

He was simply preaching to deaf ears!

Elder Ancestor Bai, Nie Yuan who sat beside him, and a few greater rat demons from the upper realm that sat still were the only ones who did not laugh.

Thus, the waves of laughter went away very quickly. The demons looked at one another and understood that there must be something else to it.

Some moments later, Elder Ancestor Bai tapped on the table to signal silence, which was followed by dead silence from the crowd.

Ever since his powers increased to the point where he was not far from being a god, his temper had become better, in the sense that he was more kind.

Hence, many newly added administrative levels in the Greater Rat Clan somewhat felt less pressured with him around, which was why they laughed just now. In the past, this would never happen at all.

“Shixin is right. Vigilante A, he’s the one who opened the Divine Gate.”

After the peals of laughter had stopped, Elder Ancestor Bai said plainly.

“Tss!!” Many greater rat demons gasped at the same time when they heard this.

So that was it.

If a demon of evil conduct who broke laws was chosen to climb the Divine Gate, would that not be the same as sending a poor candidate?

Although these new administrative level rat demons had only transformed for a short period of time and had shallow knowledge, they had heard of Vigilante A’s deeds.

Furthermore, many demons had witnessed him serving justice and verified that he was truly more hardworking than others. He worked tirelessly regardless of the time or obstacles in his way…

When interacting with humans, it was fine to offend any rules but their baselines, because many fellows had already proved that point with their lives.

From earlier times up till the present, only a few from the older team of greater rat demons who followed the elder ancestor were left.gramma

This was because they crossed the baseline by eating humans and were murdered by Vigilante A’s followers when they were accidentally exposed during their missions.

For Vigilante A, perhaps this was just his daily routine of exterminating evil, they had never seen him propagate in any other way.

In spite of that, each time this happened, the rat demons were appalled.

The seniors could not be blamed for this. Back then they relied on eating humans to increase their magic rapidly without knowing that someone like Vigilante A who had Heaven’s Eye would appear.

Fortunately, in order to better absorb human’s culture and to rope in talented humans, the elder ancestor had already given orders. He banned the newborn rat demons from consuming humans, in case they scared those human professionals away.

Since then, most of the newborn greater rat demons never committed such evil deeds, so this was not much of a concern.

Nonetheless, besides this, they were completely at odds with the “upright behavior” description.

Bullying the weak, respecting the strong, this was the nature of their clan.

The stronger the demon, the more evil deeds it conducted.

Seizing by force and male dominance were also common sights here.

That was unless they were reported to the elder ancestor, then they would be resolved.

Nevertheless, how many of them had the know-how and dared to trouble the elder ancestor to straighten out such trivial matters?

As they thought about these things, the administrators of the rat demons furrowed their brows.

This was a paradox. Since evil ones could not enter and those who could actually enter were definitely trash, why were they thinking about climbing the Divine Gate?

Could it be that they wanted to just go on a day trip to embarrass themselves in front of all clans?

No wonder the elder ancestor wanted to collect opinions, such that he gathered everyone and treated this seriously.

Nie Yuan’s eyes moved a little, but he said nothing.

Elder Ancestor Bai did not ask him, he continued asking Bai Shixin, “Shixin, since you have identified this point, do you have a nominee in mind?”

Bai Shixin said fairly, “Yes.”

“Who?”

All at once, the demons became spirited and listened to him carefully.

“The son of your first wife, Cang Gongzi.”

“Oh?” As soon as the demons heard that, most of them showed a doubtful look whereas some pondered.

“The elder ancestor has a son? How is this possible? I’ve never heard of it.”

“You’re being disrespectful, how dare you slander the elder ancestor that it’s impossible for him to have a son.”

In the corner of the conference room, some new administrative members of the rat demon whispered to one another.

Bai Shixin shook his head secretly and thought that these newbies were truly fearless and impudent. Did they really think that this old man was a benevolent elder?

Would he really allow voters making jokes, just like how America’s presidents did?

If he really wanted to be at odds with anyone, blood would flow into a river!

Elder Ancestor Bai was not furious at all, he only nodded and said with a smile, “Shixin, that’s quite a good nomination. As the saying goes, competence should be the only thing considered when talent is needed, I agree with this. Yuan Er, what do you think?”

Nie Yuan just sneered to himself. ‘After all, he’s still going to pass on his position to his son, isn’t he?

‘So much for talking about being brilliant and showing great foresight, in the end, it’s still going to be an inheritance within blood relations.

‘Based on what?

‘In terms of wisdom and determination, I’m a hundred times better than that childish, naive fellow, why can’t I be the king of rats?

‘Is it because I’m not royalty?

‘After all the hard work, I’ll actually have to work for a female saint, a smashing demon?

‘If he becomes the king of the Greater Rat Clan, we might need to be monks and eat grass every day…’

While Nie Yuan cursed secretly, he said respectfully, “Elder ancestor, you’re extremely right. Cnag Gongzi has a profound strength in morality cultivation base which is shocking in every way, he’s indeed an exception among demons and his uncommonness in the clan is unparalleled. He’s a great candidate.

“I’ve also obtained some intelligence that his relationship with Vigilante A has been good all this while, with this, I believe it’ll also be favorable for him to climb the Divine Gate.”

What?

When the greater rat demons heard the news, they felt like those words were ear-piercing.

At once, they looked awful, they were in disbelief that this Cang Gongzi who was mentioned was actually such a character…he actually collaborated with Vigilante A. Thus, they felt that it was also unpleasant to hear that he had cultivation base in morality.

Elder Ancestor Bai seemed to have not noticed the huge change in their looks, he only nodded and said as he was satisfied, “That’s great then, what are your opinions?”

The new administrative level rat demons remained silent.

A brief while later, one middle-level administrative picked up his courage and said, “Elder ancestor, it’s not that the young ones are being insensible, but it’s unconvincing by just listening to the recommendations from our military advisors.

“Due to the change in the Heavenly Will, many heroes from various clans have now obtained the Heavenly Edict. If Cang Gongzi doesn’t present himself and show what he’s got, I’m afraid that they’ll…”

“What?” All of a sudden, Elder Ancestor Bai sounded cold, he glanced at that middle-level administrative and said in a chilly voice, “Are they going to rebel?”

That middle-level administrative instantly felt chills up its spine, it dared not say another word.

Right away, the atmosphere in the conference room solidified and froze. Many rat demons just fell dead silent.

It looked like the elder ancestor was paving a road for his own son this time.

Owing to the influence of human culture, they were very clear that it would turn out to be a bloody thing when a senior paved a road to success for his descendant…

Since ancient times, this had been a typical occurrence in and out of China.

“Since you have no objections, this is set then. Due to the huge amount of demon clans, it won’t be nice to take up too many slots, lest we get enemies for no reason. One representative will be enough.”

After Elder Ancestor Bai said this, he left the conference room.

Through his glasses, Bai Shixin pondered as he watched him leave.

Nie Yuan also gazed at the elder ancestor, seemingly thinking of something.
