The origin of the star lotus world

Chapter 2247 of the main text

Fanxingkong awaited guidance from the deities within the main hall of the Venerable Dragon Palace, refraining from any unauthorized movement. Following the instructions of Guanze Jincaijielian, Fanxingkong was instructed to proceed to the Flying Dragon Flower Palace in the central region to worship and bless his master.

He walked to the Flying Dragon Flower Hall, found a suitable spot, and knelt down on the Glory Cloud Carpet, worshipping and honoring his master with standard divine rites, showing respect and praise.

After kneeling in worship, Fanxingkong straightened his body and said he wished the Origin Master a blessed and prosperous life, filled with happiness and joy. He hoped that the Origin Master and the Primordial Heaven Master would have a happy and harmonious relationship, blessed with good fortune and love. He also hoped that the Origin Master, in the mortal world, could lose ten pounds this year, achieve success in weight loss, and improve his physical condition. He urged him to think less about the Golden Lotus Realm, the Golden Lotus Shadow Realm, and the Primordial Heaven Master and the Twelve Celestial Universes' Holy Gods, and more about his own cosmic power...

I gestured to stop Fanxingkong from speaking further, as I felt he was being a bit too talkative. There were certain things he shouldn't say now, and he should also refrain from saying things that the gods don't usually say.

Fan Xingkong lowered his head, smiling gently. He had the courage to speak the truth, even if it might bring blame. He was completely on the side of the Primordial Creator God and the Twelve Universe Gods. He looked down on and despised the remnant soul of the Love Net, finding it annoying and repulsive. He believed the remnant soul affected the stability of the two masters' relationship and might be detrimental to the foundation of the multiverse. He felt the Love Net made the Primordial Creator God sacrifice and bear so much, which was not worthwhile. The Primordial Master was the best and most eternally right person for the Primordial Master; they were the most loving and suitable, and no one could replace them. He completely worshipped the Primordial Master, as did the Twelve Universe Gods. Only Fan Xingkong and some other gods dared to speak the truth so frankly.

I congratulated you on winning the lantern parade and boat race at the New Year's Banquet Flower Boat. Seeing how proud you are, I can already imagine winning a big prize and receiving even more honors in the Year of the Dragon competition.

With a nonchalant smile, Fan Xingkong said that he was not only the champion of the lantern-themed boat race, but also the runner-up in the New Year's Eve dinner buffet. He was honored to be the second guest to attend the Dragon Palace main hall to pay homage to the Primordial Master and participate in the Dragon Year Divine Assembly. This made him extremely proud and honored. Thanks to the Primordial Master's care and hospitality, he and his team of Shadow Lotus members performed exceptionally well in the New Year's Eve flower boat race, achieving a high ranking.

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile, clearly in a good mood. If it were any other VIP, having achieved excellent rankings in both events at the New Year's Banquet Flower Boat, they would also be very happy and might even be unable to resist showing their pride.

I asked you, Fanxingkong, how did you manage to get your team first place in the lantern-themed rowing competition and second place in the New Year's Eve dinner buffet? Such double excellence! You're the only guest to achieve excellent rankings in both events at the New Year's Eve dinner. That's incredibly impressive. Meanwhile, Modi and Jinhuyue, who were also among the top three in the lantern-themed rowing competition, didn't perform particularly well in the New Year's Eve dinner buffet; their teams were ranked later and arrived at the event later in the order of their ranking.

Fan Xingkong raised his head and said he didn't have any secrets. He encouraged his team's Shadow Lotus participants to eat and drink to their heart's content at the banquet restaurant on their New Year's Eve banquet boat. To improve their performance in the New Year's Eve buffet competition, they shouldn't worry about their image; just eat and drink to their heart's content. After all, there was no recording in the banquet restaurant, so they didn't need to worry about anything. Other VIP teams' Shadow Lotus participants were also diligently eating in the banquet restaurant. Every team wanted to achieve a good ranking in the event, and their team wasn't going to be outdone. They were just going to eat and drink to their hearts' content. The food prepared by the banquet restaurant was quite good, and the scenery of Gemstone Mountain and Sea was also beautiful. Enjoying the scenery while dining was both a competition and a pleasure. Knowing that the Origin Master in the mortal world preferred oily and delicious food, he might have selected some oily dishes as special New Year's dishes. He and his team's Shadow Lotus participants actually guessed quite a few specific dishes correctly, adding a lot of points and providing an advantage. I just didn't expect that four dumpling dishes would be selected as featured dishes. I really didn't anticipate that. If I had known, I would have used a variety of dumpling dishes from all the different types at the banquet restaurant; that would have been a huge plus. I also guessed the featured drinks wrong. Those were hard to guess! If I had guessed them all correctly, maybe I would have won the New Year's Eve buffet competition. That's a possibility.

I said, "Fanxingkong, if you win two championships in the New Year's Banquet Flower Boat event, aren't you afraid that other VIPs will target you in various ways during the Year of the Dragon competitions? They'll secretly team up and won't let you off so easily. Some things shouldn't be done too excessively or ostentatiously; it's better to be discreet." If Mo Di hadn't had such a significant lead in basic funding during the Year of the Dragon competitions, his New Year's Banquet Flower Boat team wouldn't have faced so many negative attacks in the early and middle stages of the lantern parade boat competitions. If Mo Di had received continuous help from several allies and hadn't been bombarded with numerous negative items and super items, he might very well have won the championship.

Fan Xingkong said he understood the common principle that a tall tree catches the wind. Because Mo Di had the most funds in the Year of the Dragon competition, far exceeding the funds of other VIPs, how could the other VIPs not be jealous? Some just didn't show it. Mo Di had too much initial funding in the Year of the Dragon competition; this would be incredibly useful once the competition started, potentially securing a top-three ranking easily. In the early and middle stages of the lantern-themed boat race, that team was targeted and attacked by other teams—that was also due to their own provocation. His team's second-place finish at the New Year's Eve buffet was a pleasant surprise. They hadn't expected to make it into the top three, having chosen the wrong selection of specific dishes. They had hoped to get more points through the randomized scoring system at the banquet restaurant, but the result was far from ideal. He and his team were overjoyed to have achieved such a prestigious runner-up position. The victory fireworks above their team's float, dazzling and inspiring, and the celebratory toasts and praise from the many members of the Holy Reunion Temple, were a truly glorious and wonderful moment. Although their performance at the buffet wasn't perfect, it was still commendable. A second-place finish at the main banquet was a truly satisfying achievement.
