"Ask away, our rat race is unmatched by any beast in intelligence," the rat ancestor said proudly.
"Okay, how can I obtain the reward for this level?" Dongfang Mian asked.
The rat ancestor rolled his eyes upon hearing this. "I say, human girl, the fact that I chose you to come up here and let you ask questions is already a huge stroke of luck and reward for you. Otherwise, you would very likely be the first one to be eliminated in the reward stage of the Divine Beast Mountain assessment."
"Um... let me rephrase my question. I have a friend in this assessment whose bloodline is extremely pure. I wonder if he has a chance to get the reward for this round?"
"Friends? Which one are your friends?"
Dongfang Mian described Aju, and then the rat ancestor in front of them disappeared for a while and then reappeared.
Looking at Dongfang Mian's expectant eyes, he shook his head slightly. "I've seen your friend. His bloodline is indeed the most outstanding among the divine beasts in this batch of assessments, but unfortunately, the divine beast that selected him is the ancestor of the White-Patterned Sacred Tiger clan."
"That... what does that mean?" Dongfang Mian didn't understand.
"You should know that even divine beasts are divided into different ranks, and so are our ancestors, even though we are just a wisp of divine soul sealed within a statue."
However, the suppression of bloodline stems from our soul's inability to resist, so the opportunity in this trial is naturally determined by the powerful ancestors.
I just checked, and the most powerful ancestor chosen to pass on his experience this time is the ancestor of the Golden Cloud Python clan, while he seems to have chosen a prodigy from the Silver Dragon clan.
Dongfang Mian finally understood: all that talk about the ancestors discussing and deciding things was just empty talk; in reality, whoever had the bigger fist made the decisions.
Not only that, Dongfang Mian seemed to have gleaned something else from the words of the rat clan's ancestor.
"Do you mean that if a more powerful ancestor chooses my friend, then the ancestor of the Golden Cloud Python would no longer have the power to make the decision?"
“I’ve always said that you humans are indeed a little bit smarter than the divine beasts,” the rat ancestor said, nodding.
"However, getting the choice of the most powerful ancestor is basically wishful thinking. That guy never participates in the selection process. Asking him for a favor is harder than climbing to heaven. He's idle all day long, and every time he makes a move, it's either causing destruction or..."
As the rat ancestor was muttering to himself, a sudden ripple appeared before his eyes, and a figure materialized in front of him.
Before Dongfang Mian could even see the newcomer's face clearly, the rat clan ancestor, who had just been criticizing the strongest ancestor, suddenly knelt down and loudly proclaimed, "This little rat greets Lord Dragon Flood Dragon."
The Dragon Lord he mentioned ignored him and coldly looked at Dongfang Mian, saying, "What is your relationship with Tianyin Valley? I seem to smell Tianyin Valley's scent."
The rat ancestor kneeling on one side almost slapped himself upon hearing the name Tianyin Valley. If he had known earlier that this human girl was related to Tianyin Valley, he would never have said a word to her. Now that Lord Longjiao was so furious, he was afraid he would be implicated as well.
Thinking this, the rat ancestor knelt on the ground and shouted at Dongfang Mian: "You despicable human, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to Lord Longjiao to admit your mistake?"
Dongfang Mian subconsciously covered her left wrist, about to say something, when she saw the patterns of Yan Lin's token appear on her right wrist, emitting a dazzling light.
After seeing it clearly, Lord Longjiao was terrified and knelt down at Dongfang Mian's feet, just like the rat clan ancestor had done, saying, "This little dragon greets Lord Longjiao."
