Chapter 658 The Temporary Workers of the Primordial World: No Status, No Security, No Future
"As expected of a top student from the Third Affiliated Primary School of Tian Shu University, only you can use this rune compass accurately." Heng Xuan patted him on the shoulder.

"Those legendary psychic users probably only have this much ability."

"You must be joking," Liu Ye said with a wry smile.

"Do you know how many spiritual beings the Primordial Heavenly Court has? No more than ten thousand."

“They’ve all been divided up by the forces with resources. I’ve never even seen a single psychic in my entire life.”

"It is said that they can scan the starry sea with their mental power and penetrate deep into the mind."

"Even the most powerful profession can be instantly controlled by mental power and turned into a puppet."

"Is it that mysterious?" Hengxuan was a little confused. He took out a small magic disc and kept inputting commands, then pressed a finger.

The hidden runes vanished into the void from the magic arrays on their hands.

"call--"

Hengxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do we need to send it again?" Zijuan asked curiously. "Didn't we already send out the distress signal when we entered this plane?"

"That was a distress signal."

Hengxuan shook her head: "What if we encounter a member of a powerful clan or a prominent family?"

"They coveted our small achievement and wanted to keep it for themselves, so they just killed us."

"By the time they release a report saying they've found the person, we'll already be dead."

Who will speak up for us?

Hengxuan shook her head: "So, it would be better to send another signal to confirm our survival."

"Hopefully they will have some reservations."

"Give us a way out."

After the initial excitement, Hengxuan recalled the stories she had heard before about the descendants of noble families seizing opportunities from those from humble backgrounds, and suddenly felt a sense of lingering fear.

You should know that even within a legion, discovering a large plane is a remarkable achievement, and many people would be envious.

The three of them had neither background nor power, making them natural scapegoats. Even if they were stripped of their credit, no one would speak up for them.

Therefore, one must act with extreme caution, and may even have to give up the lion's share of the profits, hoping that the higher-ups will take pity on them and leave them a piece of the pie.

The primordial continent has never been fair.

Opportunities are always reserved for the descendants of saints, the descendants of high-ranking families, and the legionary nobles; they are never ordinary people.

With a powerful background, one becomes a celestial being; without one, one is nothing more than an ant or a blade of grass.

The three fell silent for a moment. They were able to get together because none of them had any special background.

Otherwise, he would have already entered various research institutes and legions to train and wait for the upgrade, instead of struggling to achieve nothing for a chance to become a pill.

"Let's go, let's see the world," Hengxuan said, feigning nonchalance.

"What's so interesting about this? Can't we just wait for Tianjun here?" Zijuan asked, puzzled.

Whenever the Primordial Legion goes on an expedition, nothing survives. It is known as the Heavenly Army by many humans in the multiverse.

Hengxuan shook his head: "If we can gather the relevant intelligence before the army arrives in this world."

"Maybe we'll gain the favor of a big shot and have our employment status resolved."

He shrugged: "Big shots like subordinates who are meticulous in their work."

"I hope so," Liu Ye said, not holding out much hope.

"But gathering intelligence is not wrong either."

"At the very least, we can sell the relevant intelligence to the Primordial Continent."

"Even if such a large plane has no spiritual energy at all, it will usually give birth to several relatively advanced civilizations."

"Although they are no match for the legion, this intelligence and information is still very valuable to some communes on the continent, and they can make a little money from it."

Zijuan was somewhat dissatisfied: "Those descendants of the ancient sages only know how to enjoy themselves. They have more than enough elixirs and spiritual medicines to eat, and they easily obtained what we had to go through countless hardships to get. It's really unfair."

"If only my parents were also Nascent Soul cultivators."

Liu Ye sighed softly, "Where in this world is there any fairness?"

“Those natives in the refined small world didn’t even have a chance to defend themselves.” “Those were just apes that looked like humans. Liu Ye, your excessive sympathy is overflowing again.” Zijuan said, raising her chin.

When ordinary people living at the bottom of the primordial world talk about the primordial heavenly court, they can't help but puff out their chests with pride.

"Right, just consider it an overreaction of my sympathy." Liu Ye lowered his head: "Those are just apes."

"Let's go take a look."

A runic array appeared beneath the three of them.

As self-made, self-reliant "first-generation entrepreneurs," they could only afford to exchange their hard-earned money for a single levitation item, and even that was a second-hand item.

Even so, it cost them a lot of money and left them with heavy debts.

But for an exploration team like theirs that can only rely on themselves, the Bagua compass, which can run and fight, is absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, any indigenous world with a certain level of technology or capability could make them pay a bloody price.

After they took off, Zijuan complained somewhat discontentedly, "That unscrupulous merchant! This Bagua plate is clearly an antique from eight hundred years ago, yet he still charged us 80% of the original price."

Liu Ye said with a wry smile, "You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household."

"I only managed to buy this one by pulling some strings."

"For scavengers like us who aren't officially employed, buying a new Bagua compass through official channels is just a pipe dream."

Hengxuan joked, "At least he gave us a discount, didn't he?"

Zijuan sighed, "Without a formal position, I'm restricted in every way."

The group flew swiftly across the sea and arrived above the city.

The Bagua Star Chart possesses exceptional defensive and stealth capabilities; at least, the natives of this world would have no chance of breaking through its defenses unless they used nuclear weapons.

Of course, even with nuclear weapons, the Bagua astrological chart can quickly create a safe distance in a short period of time.

"How can those people live in these mud houses?" Zijuan asked, pointing to the rows of tall buildings.

“This is the architecture of the lowest level of industrial society,” Liu Ye explained.

"It stinks!" Zijuan covered her nostrils.

"Why does it smell even worse?"

Liu Ye looked helplessly at his teammate who had a spoiled princess complex: "They don't have a proper air purification array."

"All the pollution is simply treated and then discharged into nature, so the more people there are, the smellier it will be."

"That's no different from the primitive planets we've experienced," Zijuan said with a look of disgust.

Hengxuan frowned when he saw the black and white people in the city: "Why are they all inferior races?"

"It's disgusting, no wonder it smells so awful."

Zijuan also looked disgusted.

Liu Ye explained, "There are people with yellow skin in this world, but they are all in the East."

In the primordial continent, only those with yellow skin are considered first-class citizens, while those with black or white skin are considered second-class citizens.

The reasons are complicated; after all, other human races with different skin tones had betrayed the yellow-skinned human race in the past.

Of course, the Heavenly Court is now talking about political correctness and not openly discriminating against people of skin color, but there are still strict taboos on intermarriage between people of yellow skin and black or white skin. In fact, many jobs cannot be held by people of black or white skin, and people who want to cultivate immortality in the proper way can forget about it.

This crucial point, passed down through generations, has been deeply ingrained in the minds of people with yellow skin, so they look down on people of these two skin colors when they talk about them.

Liu Ye didn't have the same deep-seated racial prejudice as them, or even some compassion. For example, he regarded humans from other planes as human beings. In this respect, he couldn't connect with almost 99% of the prehistoric people.

After all, in the eyes of most ancient people, humans in other lower planes, especially those without magic, were just a group of talking apes. Even if they had yellow skin, they were not the same species as them at all.

"Wait!" Li Hao suddenly noticed something, and a look of shock flashed across his face.

"what happened?"

He suddenly looked up, and the Earth on the star chart in his hand shrank rapidly. A giant sword-shaped spaceship was leaping out of a wormhole and arriving in orbit near Earth. Hengxuan and Zijuan were also stunned.

"A spaceship?!"

Moreover, small warships charged directly from the spaceship.

It's obvious they're coming towards them!
