Chapter 427: Ji Ye, the Heavenly Leading Star
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Elder Meng, the Heavenly Wisdom Star!”
The second person to be accoladed after Lu Zhishen was Elder Meng.
The Heavenly Wisdom Star was supposed to belong to Wu Yong. However, the role that Elder Meng played during the development of Dragon City was as important as the advisor of Liangshan.
In fact, Elder Meng was even better.
It was because Elder Meng didn’t just help with the planning but also taught the natives knowledge and skills!
Just like what happened to Lu Zhishen, his feats were displayed by Ji Ye with the Mirage Dragon Pearl based on his memories.
His figure and name were engraved to the Monument of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends, and they glittered like the stars.
Everybody could see it the moment they entered Dragon City!
“Wu Song, the Heavenly Valiance Star!”
The next person was Wu Song.
The scenes that were displayed were almost exclusively battles, especially those where he twice slew the Azure Dragon that Liao condensed during the advancement test!
The players who worshiped Wu Song were all excited!
“That’s my brother! That’s my brother!”
In the cafeteria of Dragon City, Wu Dalang, wearing an apron, pointed at the sky and said to everybody excitedly.
Wu Song was previously nominated as the Heavenly Injury Star. When he was renominated, the power of his previous star wouldn’t be nullified.
In addition, he would be qualified to make use of the power of the new star.
Compared to the Heavenly Injury Star, which ranked fourteenth, the Heavenly Valiance Star, which ranked fifth and previously belonged to the best of the Five Tigers, could better enhance combat ability!
In fact, the stars of the Five Tigers were all given to the heroes with the highest combat ability. The Heavenly Valiance Star went to Wu Song, the Heavenly Might Star went to Lu Junyi, the Heavenly Toughness Star went to Li Yuanba, and the Heavenly Outstanding Star went to Zhao Yun!
The Heavenly Hero Star was left vacant for now.
It was because Yang Zhi, who was qualified for the star, chose his old nomination, the Heavenly Darkness Star.
As for the other two heroes who used to be among the Five Tigers, Qin Ming was temporarily listed as an Earthly Fiend because of insufficient achievements.

Lin Chong had arrived too late and wasn’t nominated in this round either even though he had distinguished himself in the battle.
It must be clarified that unlike the 108 stars in Liangshan that were ranked, the stars that were assigned in Dragon City were equal to each other.
Even the Heavenly Stars might not necessarily be better than the Earthly Fiends.
It was just that the Heavenly Spirits were assigned to the warriors, whereas the Earthly Fiends were assigned to the heroes and players in logistics.
For example, Su Nongying, who had been named the Earthly Leading Star, and Ninth Uncle, who was the Earthly Fiend Star, had made no fewer contributions than Ji Ye or Lu Zhishen!
“Heavenly Outstanding Star, Zhao Yun!”
“Zhao Yun!”
“General Zilong!”
“I’ve finally seen Zhao Yun. Silver robe and silver spear. Fighting many by himself gracefully. He’s exactly how I always pictured him.”
Everybody was most thrilled when Zhao Yun fought eight of the Twelve Gods of Jiangnan and executed them consecutively in the battle against Fang La.
“The nomination feels like investiture in the old times. I wonder if we can have our names engraved to it right next to Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu, and the other celebrities?”
The replay of experiences and the engraving of names made a lot of new players passionate and hopeful!
“Xiao Jiao, you weren’t as excited when you were nominated as an academician as what you did just now, were you?”
In the tech center, an old man whose hair was entirely white and who wore a protection suit said to Elder Jiao with a smile.
“I’m making a fool of myself, Elder He!”
Elder Jiao, who had been named the Earthly Excellence Star, smiled.
He was already an old man, yet he was very respectful to this senior.
“You are not. You have every reason to feel excited.”
“Truth be told, the scene reminds me of the happiness I felt after the successful experiment in the north that we had worked on for eight years. Although we did nothing more than writing our names on a banner and raising it at the celebration party, I’ve never had a greater sense of achievement.”
The old man in the protection suit smiled.
“Okay, enough talking. I’m making progress in my research. I’ll just work harder and try to be nominated as a star next time.”
The energetic white-haired old man smiled and resumed his work.
At the entrance to the lab that he just entered, there was a pattern that indicated radioactive hazards.
“Shi Shugang, the Earthly Beast Star!”
Outside, after Shi Shugang received the title of Earthly Beast Star, which previously belonged to Huangfu Duan who just arrived, fifty-three other people in the settlement had also been nominated as stars. Next, it was the last person to be nominated.
“Ji Ye, the Heavenly Leading Star!”
It was the first time that Su Nongying had called Ji Ye by his name, because his real name had to be engraved on the monument.
Ji Ye’s title was apparently unsurprising because he was the only person in the entire Dragon City who was qualified for the title!
When it was his turn, Ji Ye didn’t refrain himself but also displayed the pictures of his experiences on the Land of Inheritance with the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Unlike the others, the pictures that Ji Ye presented about himself were all related to battles, including how he executed the Black Serpent, challenged the Forest Monster King, confronted the revived Mirage Dragon, fought the Eagle Man leader, and coped with the Ghostship captain, Fang La, Wang Qing, Tian Hu, and the others!
“What a strong murderous aura!”
“How many people have the city master killed?”
“It’s too hard. He has fought all the way to this place on the top of the dead bodies of his enemies.”
“Did it happen to any beta tester? No wonder many people are unwilling to enter the Land of Inheritance.”
The battles were so intense that many newcomers found it hard to catch their breath.
Those who had evil plans, awed by the consecutive gores in the sky, had sweat all over their foreheads.
[“Your name has been engraved on the Monument of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. You’ve received the blessing of the Heavenly Leading Star!”]
Ji Ye, on the other hand, examined the information in his head in the cloud.
The Monument of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends gave people the blessing of stars, and each blessing had a different focus. Song Jiang, for example, got a Star Master talent because of the Heavenly Leading Star.
Also, the blessing wasn’t in conflict with the talents and skills he already had, such as the King’s Fate that he acquired from the King’s Contract.
It could enhance the talents and skills in a way. After all, the Heavenly Leading Star and the King’s Fate were both about leadership.
“So, after I condense the King’s Fate, I may be able to fuse them!”
An idea flashed across Ji Ye’s heart.
There were 108 stars in total, and 54 people were filled in, including 18 Heavenly Spirits and 36 Earthly Fiends.
They were all directors of divisions in Dragon City, and they were all rated as Commanders.
As for the remaining vacancies, the new players were all looking at them earnestly.
The players who had their own specialty were even more excited. For example, the craftsmen and sculptors were interested in the Earthly Deftness Star, and the financiers and accountants were interested in the Earthly Numbering Star. Those who were confident of fighting were even looking at the Heavenly Hero Star, which was still vacant!
That was actually the purpose of the Dragon City’s leaders.
The greater the accreditation was, the more motivated the new players would be.
Otherwise, Ji Ye wouldn’t have accepted Chen Yi’s proposal that almost looked like a parade.
After completing the tasks about heavy treasures and resources, there was only one last thing to go, which was to summon the fifth special hero with the Thunder Halberd!
