Chapter 399 - Return of the King, the Divine Throne Cup!
Although Gu Qingyi and Fang Lan were both confused, after Lu Ran explained everything and even revealed that the old president would be joining, they finally understood. Compared to cultivating a Legendary divine beast, inheriting an imperial seal, and rebuilding the Beastmaster Empire, it wasn’t all that shocking.
Even though they were about to be pulled in as laborers, neither Gu Qingyi nor Fang Lan seemed to mind. In fact, they found it rather interesting and even asked Lu Ran whether they could be promoted if they performed well. Clearly, the two of them weren’t very satisfied with just being Division Leaders. They were already aiming for higher positions.
“Greedy. Way too greedy!” Lu Ran shook his head helplessly. That position was already second only to the top, above thousands of others. Only the leaders of the Six Paths ranked higher.
Anything above that... Are they trying to become the empress?
Of course, Lu Ran wasn’t going to agree.
“Let’s give Dr. Gu and Fang Lan a heads-up first to get them mentally prepared. There’s no way I’m sending them straight to the Amazon. Soon, I’ll be heading to the Stellar Moon World with Six-Path Flower. With those two’s current strength, they wouldn’t be able to hold the fort in the Amazon against those ancient overlords. I’ll have to settle everything once I get back...”
With a wave of his imperial robe, he headed off to request blood samples from Principal Shi Zhen.

After finishing everything, Lu Ran returned to the cross-world teleportation array. Before departing, he asked the Divine Deer how much longer it planned to stay.
Unfortunately, the Divine Deer had no intention of leaving Blue Planet just yet, so for this journey to the Stellar Moon World, Lu Ran would have to go alone. Without the Divine Deer to protect him in that world, he had to tread with utmost caution.
