"First Test: Reach Level 50 in Soul Power and acquire the Fifth Soul Ring, reward: all Soul Rings extended by one thousand years."
A gentle female voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's consciousness.
Is it really the Divine Examination?
Huo Yuhao looked utterly dumbfounded.
Red Level Eight Examination?
What level is this?
Also, is the divine assessment so simple? Is reaching Level 50 in Soul Power all it takes?
There were no confidentiality notes in the prompt, so Huo Yuhao told Su Yu about the message he received.
"Red Level Eight Examination? This should be the highest assessment level besides being a true Divine Successor. As for your first test reward, a thousand-year increase to all Soul Rings; that's not bad."
Su Yu sensed that the subtext of Huo Yuhao's first test was: You're not at a high enough level yet, so level up first.
...
Divine Realm.
"Xiaoz, if I pass my divine position to him, to whom will you pass yours?"
Life God was very puzzled.
After leaving the Sea God, her lover found this little one whose divine position perfectly matched hers.
But they had agreed to pass on their divine positions and then leave the Divine Realm together...
"This Huo Yuhao has good potential and a tendency towards destruction, but that's mostly a change in perspective; his Martial Soul doesn't quite suit your divine position, right?"
The God of Destruction did not answer Life God's question but instead wore a profoundly meaningful expression.
...
Su Yu did not express the hidden meaning.
Having a Level 40 Soul Power to undertake the Divine Examination is indeed a bit low, maybe the test is truly what he thought.
But there's no need to demoralize Huo Yuhao by pointing it out.
After all, Huo Yuhao is a year younger than Su Yu, with Innate Soul Power that has three times the gap; it's understandable, it's understandable.
At 15, being in the Soul Sect and having an Extreme Martial Soul is already quite impressive.
Su Yu descended from the air, mounted the inheritance platform, released his Spiritual Power, and received the inheritance from Life God.
A touch of green appeared on his forehead, echoing the Blade of Living Beings, sketching out a mystical pattern.
The green disappeared as the mark began to change from white.
White, Yellow, Purple, Black, Red.
"Life Divine Examination, Red Level Eight Examination!"
"???"
Su Yu, unable to hear the content of his first test, opened his eyes, bewildered.
A look of disbelief crossed his face.
What's going on?
Are you kidding me?
Guiding me here to take the Divine Examination and not providing a divine inheritance?
Life God?
That's not right.
The Life God in Su Yu's impression wasn't like this at all.
...
Divine Realm.
"Xiaoz, what are you doing!"
Life God furrowed her brows, glaring at the God of Destruction angrily.
"Hehe, Xiaolü, don't you think this little one's talent is more suited for condensing his own divine position?"
The God of Destruction felt somewhat guilty, although it's his wife's inheritance place and wouldn't be complained about to the council, it still seemed a bit wrong.
"Hmm?"
Hearing the God of Destruction's words, Life God's expression slightly changed.
To be honest, Su Yu was quite suitable for her Life Divine Position, with his life attribute aligning more than 90% with her divine position.
But then again, Su Yu's core talent doesn't seem to be directly related to her.
"Su Yu's strongest gift is his wisdom. Wisdom, ah, it's quite a mighty authority and one of the few unfixed authorities in our Divine Realm. Moreover, the Wisdom Rule of Douluo Continent needs his appearance to perfect."
The God of Destruction spoke convincingly, but Life God felt that he more wanted to counter the Sea God.
Since the Sea God, Tang San, became a god and arrived in the Divine Realm, he and the God of Destruction had always been at odds, with their debates focusing on whether to expand the Divine Realm.
"Xiaolü, you must understand that the development of the Divine Realm relies not on the passing of divine positions from generation to generation but on the condensation of new divine positions!"
After a divine inheritance, certainly, retired gods explore the outer world, expanding, but more often than not, they travel for leisure, offering limited substantive improvement to the essence of the Divine Realm.
In contrast, new divine positions' condensation, refining the Divine Realm's rules, refining the rules of managed lower realms, is the proper way for a Divine Realm to quickly accumulate strength.
Since the batch of the First Sea God, the Divine Realm hadn't expanded for over thirty years.
"But the Sea God side said—"
"Hmph, predicting a crisis is utter nonsense. Facing a crisis, we should strive to develop the Divine Realm, expand it, and add divine positions to better cope with the crisis!"
The God of Destruction's prejudice against the Sea God was extraordinarily deep, unleashing all his bottled-up discontent.
His wife being fooled by that guy into admiring him, thinking he was a good person for the Divine Realm's good.
A wolf in sheep's clothing!
Outwardly feigning compassion, who knows what he's scheming behind everyone's back.
Life God had nothing to say.
Such a good inheritor, what a pity.
Now at Red Level Eight Examination, one cannot revoke it and recast the level.
Moreover, if he alone found the inheritor and Xiaoz remains the God of Destruction, it would be quite awkward, wouldn't it?
Should she leave the Divine Realm or not?
...
Su Yu, unaware of what transpired in the Divine Realm, remained somewhat at a loss.
He collected himself, listening to the voice in his mind.
"First Test: Comprehend the true essence of Life, reward: ten thousand Power of Faith."
Power of Faith?
Su Yu wasn't sure what Life God intended, but perhaps he could glean her intentions from her assessment and rewards.
