Chapter 212: The Heavenly Empress ----- Ranks. A classification is given to items and danger levels, and I guess also to strength levels, but strength levels and danger levels are very similar at the end of the day. Just like we treat a S Rank Monster as dangerous, S Rank humans are the same as these monsters at the end of the day. Therefore, when I saw “Epic Rank” in that crane woman’s status, I quickly felt slightly shocked. I didn’t really think I would face such a powerful being right away, and apparently without any restrictions either, mostly because this world had already gone through all its Awakenings. Epic Rank was not just after SSS Rank, it was several Ranks above that. From what I recall, after SSS Rank, there was Phantasmal Rank, then Spiritual Rank, and then Epic Rank. Already, an SSS Rank Monster would be seen as a world-threatening calamity on Earth; I can’t even imagine an Epic Rank monster. With each Awakening, the world also becomes tougher, not just the people in it. Therefore, the reason why Ranks are restricted within each Awakening is because these Awakenings actually signify the world becoming stronger, not the people. The world not only becomes stronger, but it also expands. Anyways. I guess Uroboros and the Death Apostles are exceptions, beings that used special methods to summon a fragment of their power to my world. But right now, there was a being that had almost reached the pinnacle as well and could soon become a Constellation, if she ever wanted to. However, by seeing her here, protecting the last bastion of civilization from this world, it was clear she wasn’t going to abandon these people. Her Radiance was strong too, and her Tale was powerful; she had forged it with many Verses. She probably had well-developed Traits and Dao Roots and Branches. Yet, I couldn’t sense any Cosmic Energy coming from her, even though she should at least have a few thousand points of it at this point. It was as if her ability to wield this energy was completely locked; something was locking it. “You seem to be wary of my strength, yes. I am perhaps the strongest Cultivator in this world.” She smiled. “They call me the Heavenly Empress because I lead the Orthodox Faction. My name is Hue Xian; what is your name, young girl?” “A-Anna,” I said. “I… Thank you for welcoming me here. And yes, I do indeed come from another place. I was sent here by forces that I think might not be on my side. To a mission, what mission? I don’t know, but it must be related to helping you and your people, or perhaps saving the world you’re living in.” “Your eyes seem experienced; you’ve gone through this at least a couple of times, isn’t it?” She asked, smiling gently. She opened the palm of her hand, covered in black scales and white feathers. “Come, sit by my side, and drink some tea. Let’s chat. I won’t peck you or something, you know~?” “Ah, yeah. Thank you.” I sat by her side. She offered me black tea with a delicious aroma of fruits. Yet as I drank it, I noticed something about being closer to her. Through my Divine Eyes of Truth, I could easily see through her Ki Pathways connected to each Meridian and her Inner Martial Core, which was now an Immortal Martial Core. However, she looked bad. Most of her pathways seemed clogged with a strange, silver- and blue-colored essence. Despite being so strong right now, most of her power was… sealed? “You’ve noticed already? Those eyes of yours are truly powerful.” She smiled. “Your gaze is like the one those despicable beings that called themselves Constellations had. Looking down on our kin like mere playthings. Offering us their riches, offering us their powers, only to use us as peons for their wicked games.” “I am not a Constellation, if you’re wondering that, Lady Hue Xian.” I said with all honesty. “I genuinely want to help; I was sent here to help.” “Do you get a reward out of this?” She asked with a sharp gaze. “Of course I do; as good-hearted as I am, I am given a reward for helping y
