Chapter 109 The Shameless Old Star Hall Pope

["The Star Hall will start the Star Master Youth Competition which will be held every three years. It will start six months from now and only the most outstanding young star masters of every star master academies and star master clans can hold a chance to participate in this grand event." The Star Hall Pope informed you about the purpose for summoning you here.]

[The Star Hall Pope added, "Only those at the age of twenty-four years old and below can participate in the Star Master Youth Competition while there is no minimum age for participation. Only the top star master academies and star master clans will be invited to attend the Star Master Youth Competition. The rewards for the Star Master Youth Competition are handled by the participating top forces and it will be handed to the winner of the Star Master Youth Competition."]

["The competition will be held in the star master arena in the Star City and the Star Hall will lead this event. Because of that, our Star Hall will ensure that this competition can showcase the talents of the Star Hall and promote the Star Hall to more star masters! That's why, we need to win this contest to not only prevent ourselves from being an embarrassment but to also poach those genius star masters from those top forces!" When the Star Hall Pope said that, he looked at you as if he was looking at a treasure.]

["There will be four participants for every participating top force. There is no limit to the star cultivation base of the participants but only an age limit. That's why, you must participate in the contest to show off the true prodigy and pride of the Star Hall! We will promote the supremacy of the Star Hall and let everyone know that not only the Star Hall is the strongest, but also the cradle for the most talented star master!" The Star Hall Pope shamelessly requested you to participate in the Star Master Youth Competition.]

[You acted as if you were oblivious to it and asked, "But master, wouldn't that be overkill? Even if we raised the age limit to a hundred years old, no one can defeat me. I doubt there will even be an Honored Star in the competition, let alone a Revered Constellation."]

[You didn't care if you called the Star Hall Pope as master. Since in this simulation, he was indeed your master so there was nothing wrong with that. Just like how you acted as the young master of the Hong Clan and was even in character, you also did the same when you became the Holy Son of the Star Hall.]

[As for pride? Well, what was frightening about you the most is that you will do almost anything to achieve your goal. As long as it was beneficial to you, you didn't even care if you had to bow down to someone.]

[But of course, that was due to all of this being a simulation. If it was in the real world or a full-dive simulation, you wouldn't do that. You didn't mind doing it in the simulation since your shame can easily be washed away by resetting the world.]

[After receiving your question, the Star Hall Pope shamelessly replied, "So what? We didn't break any rules and as stated in the rules, only those at the age of twenty-four years old and below can participate in the competition. There is no limit for the star cultivation base so even if your star cultivation base is at Level 99 Revered Constellation, you can still participate. After all, your current age is eighteen years old so there is nothing wrong with your participation in the competition."]

[The Star Hall Pope added, "Those top forces can only blame the incompetence of their juniors for not having an eighteen-year-old Level 99 Revered Constellation."]

['It seems that the old age of the Star Hall Pope had made his face not only wrinklier but also thicker. He can even spout such shameless words without caring about his status as if his words were right.' You couldn't help but have that thought after receiving the reply from the Star Hall Pope.]

[You know that what the Star Hall Pope had said was right. And it was also due to the unprecedented appearance of a monstrous prodigy such as yourself that the rule of having no limit in the star cultivation base was thoroughly exploited by the Star Hall.]

[Those top forces might not have ever imagined that there would be someone as young as you who not only became a Revered Constellation at the age of eighteen but even was invincible in the star cultivation base of Revered Constellation. Even the Star Hall Pope and the Grand Priest had already admitted in the past that they couldn't defeat you.]

[It was also one of the main reasons why the Star Hall Pope was adamant in making you succeed him so that you would have more attachments towards the Star Hall. And when you had refused to succeed him multiple times, the Star Hall Pope had to matchmake you with his daughter the Holy Maiden but you also refused which left the Star Hall Pope helpless.]

[Due to old age as well as stress, the Star Hall Pope no longer had any greed for holding the position and status of Pope. He just wanted to retire and pass on the Pope position to you but you always refused.]

[After all, you didn't want to become the Star Hall Pope as that would greatly restrict your freedom. There was a reason why some bishops who had reached Revered Constellation chose to retire as a priest in the Constellation Palace instead of becoming the Star Hall Pope.]

[If you were a true native of this world and didn't have any relations with the transcendent world and the zombie world, you might have already accepted the offer of the Star Hall Pope in succeeding him as the Pope.]

[But as the system user of the World Travel Simulator System, you know that you were destined for something far greater than a mere Pope position in the Star Hall.]

[However, you could keep on refusing the offer of the Star Hall Pope to succeed in his position, but you also needed to keep up the act of being a loyal disciple of the Star Hall Pope.]

[With that in mind, you replied, "Don't worry, master! I won't hold back against the representatives of those top forces and I will lead the Star Hall to victory!"]
