Blue Star and Lou Buzhi were hated to the teeth by the Four Great Families.
Under normal circumstances, they would strive to control those coming to offer treasures, aiming to prevent such situations from happening.
They never expected it would still happen in the end.
Unfortunately, allowing everyone from Four-direction Star Land with treasures to come forward and offer them was the intention of the powerhouses from the Advanced Civilization, and they were not able to make any changes.
Now only one spot remained, and neither the Four Great Families nor the three great sects dared to be careless.
Because they were eager for someone from their own sect or family to gain the opportunity to train in the Advanced Civilization.
In the future, if this person succeeded in cultivation, they could freely take anyone from the Four-direction Star Land with them, be it their family or sect members.
The first to offer a treasure was the Yu Family, who presented a Spiritual Medicine.
The grade of the Spiritual Medicine was not low, but regrettably, it only scored sixty-five points.
This score, among all who had presented treasures thus far, could be ranked in the top three.
However, relying on this score to secure the only spot would still be somewhat difficult.
The next to come forward was the Zuo Family.
They had just been scolded by Sang Yuhe and were much more low-key at this moment.
The treasure Zuo Shiken presented was also Spiritual Medicine, well-preserved, and one could tell at a glance that it had some age to it.
Sang Yuhe gave the same score of sixty-five points.
The Tong Family presented a demon beast egg, and no one knew where they had obtained it from.
Clearly, the grade of this demon beast egg was average, with only sixty points.
After that, Fazi Sect, Four Directions Sect, and Star Bridge Commerce presented their treasures, with none scoring higher than seventy points.
Scoring seventy points was a piece of black material from Star Bridge Commerce, which Blue Star did not scan with his Divine Will, and thus, he had no idea what it was.
While Blue Star was still wondering why Zhan Changjing hadn’t presented his treasure yet, he saw Zhan Changjing bring out a piece of red ore.
This red ore appeared to have a faint sense of heat to it, and in Blue Star’s opinion, it should not be an ordinary treasure.
Indeed, Sang Yuhe gave it a score of seventy-five.
It seemed that Zhan Changjing would be the one, and Blue Star felt very uncomfortable when he looked at Zhan Changjing.
Zhan Changjing had also spoken on behalf of the Zuo Family in the conflict with Blue Star.
That would have been tolerable, but the gaze of this man was the main issue.
When this man’s gaze fell on him, it felt as if a venomous snake had locked onto him.
If he were to leave on the same spaceship with this man, Blue Star felt that Zhan Changjing might find an opportunity to make a move against him.
Yet he had no right whatsoever to ask Sang Yuhe not to choose Zhan Changjing, especially since the ore presented by that man had scored the highest.
"Haha, congratulations to Zhan Clan Leader."
Zuo Shiken, knowing the Zuo Family was out of the running, was the first to stand out and congratulate Zhan Changjing.
The others also understood that the spot would most likely go to Zhan Changjing, and they all came forward with their congratulations.
Zhan Clan Leader, with a cupped-fist salute:
"Thank you all. My material scoring seventy-five points is also a matter of luck. I believe next time everyone will have a chance."
"There’s no hurry, I haven’t offered my material yet."
An abrupt voice broke this harmonious scene.
"Star Lord Ding Qi?"
Not only Zhan Changjing but also everyone else was startled.
This Ding Qi was Star Lord indeed, but wasn’t he just a puppet? How did he have the courage to offer materials here?
Could it be that he was unaware of how the word ’death’ was written?
Blue Star chuckled inwardly, finally understanding why Ding Qi had clashed with Zhan Changjing.
It was definitely over the treasure offering and the competition for this one spot.
Since the Star Lord would also offer a treasure, naturally, the five foreign powerhouses weren’t going to object.
For them, the more treasures, the better, anyone could make an offering.
Ding Qi took out a Jade Box and then handed it to Sang Yuhe.
Sang Yuhe opened the Jade Box, which contained a belt.
Offering a belt?
The Clan Leaders of the Four Great Families and the Sect Leaders of the three great sects were all gawking at Ding Qi as if they were looking at a fool.
Even if this belt were a Magical Treasure, it wouldn’t catch the eye of the powerhouses from an Advanced Civilization Planet.
What do Advanced Civilization Planets produce? They create various Magical Treasures, yet you are offering a Magical Treasure as your offering.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Sang Yuhe did not look down on this as something inferior, instead inspecting it carefully for a long while.
Only then did he say:
"A decent Storage Magical Treasure. I’ll give you seventy-five points."
It turned out to be for storage. But how was it that a storage item only scored seventy-five points?
If Blue Star didn’t have the Star House, and he had to choose between the Immortal Demon Pill and this belt, he would undoubtedly choose the belt.
Indeed, upon hearing his treasure scored only seventy-five points, a flash of disappointment crossed Ding Qi’s eyes, which he hid well; the disappointment vanished in an instant.
Sang Yuhe put away the belt:
"Currently, Star Lord Ding Qi and Zhan Clan Leader both have seventy-five points. There’s only one spot, which makes things difficult. Who is willing to voluntarily withdraw?"
No one responded, obviously neither Zhan Clan Leader nor Ding Qi was willing to step down voluntarily.
"May I ask Senior, is it possible for us to add our own treasures to Clan Leader Zhan’s items to increase his score?" The one who spoke was the head of the Zuo Family, Zuo Shiken.
"Yes, we are willing to add our treasures to Clan Leader Zhan’s to support him." The others also echoed one after another.
Ding Huan was stunned. Were these families and sects really so united?
However, as soon as he saw the expression on Zuo Shiken’s face, he immediately realized the truth.
These damn self-serving bastards, they just wanted to get rid of Zhan Changjing, to remove a powerful figure who could overshadow them.
Regardless of whether Zhan Changjing’s claim to the Dan Yun Realm was true or false, Zhan Changjing’s strength was clearly a level above theirs.
Since they couldn’t leave, getting rid of Zhan Changjing meant their voices would carry a lot more weight in the Four-direction Star Land.
Sang Yuhe nodded:
"This can be done. However, your treasures all score below seventy-five points. Even if we combine them, we can only add a maximum of five points, bringing Clan Leader Zhan’s treasure score to eighty."
Eighty points would suffice.
Several Clan Leaders and Sect Leaders all agreed with this score.
A trace of unwillingness flickered in Ding Qi’s eyes. He had prepared for many years for today, and yet the Storage Belt he carefully selected had only earned seventy-five points.
Just as Sang Yuhe was about to announce the result, Ding Huan suddenly stepped forward and bowed:
"Senior Sang, if there are any extra points from our treasures, I would like to give those points to Star Lord Ding."
Ding Huan knew he was taking a big risk with these words.
But he had to take it. If Zhan Changjing went with them, he would definitely face his schemes on the road.
Moreover, when the Zuo Family targeted him just now, only Ding Qi didn’t assist the Zuo Family.
Better to take a risk now than on the spaceship.

"This..."
Sang Yuhe turned to look at the others.
After a brief low conversation among themselves, Sang Yuhe nodded and said:
"Your Immortal Demon Pill is indeed a fine item. Even though you have brought more people with you, we can still add ten points for you."
"Thank you, seniors." Ding Huan quickly bowed in thanks.
It seemed that with his involvement, the conflict between Ding Qi and Zhan Changjing wouldn’t escalate.
In fact, Ding Qi wasn’t afraid to fight. Based on Ding Huan’s estimates, Ding Qi would have the upper hand in a fight against Zhan Changjing.
Ding Huan sneered in his heart; the number one in the Four-direction Star Land would definitely not be Zhan Changjing, but the unassuming Ding Qi.
He just didn’t know whether Ding Qi’s method of breaking through the Foundation Establishment was a realm he created himself or if Ding Qi already knew about realms beyond Foundation Establishment.
From the performance of these strong figures, it seemed they also hadn’t realized Ding Qi’s Cultivation Realm.
Hearing Ding Huan had helped him, Ding Qi was overjoyed and sent a grateful look toward Ding Huan.
Zhan Changjing, on the other hand, swept a murderous glare at Ding Huan.
Ding Huan pretended not to see it. He was about to leave the Four-direction Star Land, what could Zhan Changjing do to him?
After acquiring the treasures from the Four Great Families and the three great sects, the middle-aged man announced loudly:
"This Four-direction Star Land’s treasure offering comes to an end. We’ll meet again in a hundred years. Those who acquired a spot, please follow us."
After finishing, the middle-aged man took the lead in leaving the City Lord Mansion, followed by the other four people.
Ding Huan quickened his pace to keep up.
"Friend, if you’re willing to give your spot to me, I’ll offer you the position of a Sect Leader in exchange."
A man with a square face quickened his steps to walk beside Ding Huan and whispered.
"No exchange." Ding Huan signaled with a glance to Qi Xinyue and hastened his steps.
A spaceship several times larger than Ding Huan’s Blue Star flew in from the interstellar square of the Four-direction Star Land and landed directly on the vast square outside the City Lord Mansion.
Following the five individuals from the Advanced Civilization onto the ship, Ding Huan boarded the spaceship with Qi Xinyue and Lao Liu.
After them came Ding Qi and Lou Buzhi, along with seven talented disciples.
As Ding Huan boarded the ship, he subconsciously brushed his hand along the ship’s exterior and simultaneously inscribed several Marks of Divine Will in the same moment.
He was worried that the speed of the ship in the Void might cause his Marks of Divine Will to disappear, so he even infused the marks deeper.
Not until the spaceship’s hatch closed did Ding Qi raise his fist to Ding Huan:
"Thank you, friend."
Ding Huan waved his hand:
"Brother Qi, we share the same surname after all. Naturally, I would help if I can."
Sang Yuhe came over:
"Ding Huan, you take your friends to the Yi One room, Ding Qi and Lou Buzhi go to Yi Two. The rest to Yi Three and Yi Four rooms.
Remember, do not leave your rooms without a special reason."
Everyone hurriedly responded yes and headed to their respective rooms.
