13: Chapter 13 Divine Kingdom, Assessment

The next day, while Chen Mo was refining Plane Power in his Divine Domain, he suddenly felt a palpitation.

Without hesitation, he left the Divine Domain and returned to the real world.

"Master, this is a message that just arrived from your school."

Yu Mo climbed onto Chen Mo's shoulder and tapped her finger, causing an 18-digit string of numbers to appear before him.

"What is this, Master? Is it a password?" Yu Mo asked curiously.

"Something like that, but it's not an ordinary password; it's a pass to another world."

Chen Mo smiled and explained softly while looking at Yu Mo, whose small face was still filled with confusion.

"These are the coordinates for the academy's exclusive Divine Kingdom. To ensure the safety of the Divine Kingdom, its location is constantly changing, so the school sends us these temporary coordinates before every public lecture in the Divine Kingdom."

The importance of a Divine Domain to a Divine Path deity is self-evident.

Fortunately, the Void is vast enough that, without knowing the exact coordinates, it is basically impossible to track down other Divine Domains or Divine Kingdoms.

But if one has the coordinates, one can construct a cross-domain gate using divine power to enter the corresponding Divine Kingdom directly.

"Although I don't really understand, it sounds very impressive." Yu Mo blinked, looking innocent and cute.

"You don't need to understand!"

Chen Mo tapped Yu Mo's little head with his finger, and the next second, he returned to the Divine Domain.

But he did not land while floating in the air, instead gazing out into the endless Void outside his Divine Domain.

"Whoosh!"

Streaking across the sky like a meteor, Chen Mo broke through the plane barrier of his Divine Domain and appeared in the empty Void.

Recalling the string of numbers he had memorized, a faint glow of divine power immediately lit up his palm.

In the blink of an eye, a light gate constructed from divine power appeared before him.

Without hesitation, Chen Mo stepped directly into it.

The moment he passed through the light gate, a majestic divine consciousness suddenly swept over him, accompanied by a slightly aged voice.

"Go in."

"Yes, Dean!"

Chen Mo bowed in the cross-domain passage before heading toward the other end and disappearing into the light gate.

In just an instant, Chen Mo arrived in a completely unfamiliar world.

This world was composed of countless floating islands pieced together, and he was on the largest one, surrounded by other Students.

"Huh? Chen Mo, you actually came too?"

A voice filled with surprise and delight came from behind to his side.

Chen Mo looked up, and before he could speak, a rugged figure standing two meters tall had already arrived in front of him.

"Long time no see, Du Ruo."

A smile also appeared on Chen Mo's face. While it was true that Bai Yuanyu was his best friend, if one were to ask who in the class was 'closest' to him, it was undoubtedly the Du Ruo before him.

This closeness had two meanings; one was that their relationship was genuinely good, as they had known each other since childhood.

And the other... if one really had to trace it, he would still have to call Du Ruo cousin.

"What's going on with you? You didn't even tell me you promoted. I thought..."

"Thought I gave up?" Chen Mo laughed.

"You brat!" Du Ruo shoved Chen Mo heavily, the force so great that an unprepared Chen Mo almost fell over.

"Your strength... damn, is this the benefit of having high divinity?" Chen Mo rubbed his aching shoulder and looked at Du Ruo speechlessly.

Du Ruo, the most outstanding genius of the Lanshan Du family in a century—no, a millennium!

One is born with one point of divinity to be able to practice the Divine Path, and Du Ruo possessed a full 9 points of divinity.

As for the benefits of having a lot of divinity, there were simply too many.

Not only would his base attributes be significantly higher than those of cultivators at the same level, but his probability of comprehending laws was also far superior to 'ordinary people' like Chen Mo.

Of course, divinity is not immutable.

Ordinary cultivators who take the transcendent path will spontaneously generate one point of divinity upon promoting to demigod.

While Divine Path cultivators do not gain divinity when promoting to demigod, they have a chance to obtain additional divinity with every breakthrough in small realms.

Of course, besides these methods, refining ownerless divinity is also possible.

For example, the godhead crystal that Chen Mo and Bai Yuanyu saw earlier at Blue Cave Technology must have contained a significant amount of ownerless divinity.

"Sorry, I forgot to hold back. I just broke through to the Third Turn, so I haven't fully adapted yet."

Du Ruo scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, while Chen Mo looked at him as if he were a monster.

"You're at the Third Turn?"

"Yeah, I just promoted a couple of days ago." Du Ruo chuckled, though his eyes were filled with pride.

However, he did have the capital to be proud; looking at all the graduating Students in Lanshi City, there were barely two who cultivated faster than him.

"Chen Mo, Chen Mo!"

Just as the two were catching up, another figure rushed over.

Du Ruo turned around in confusion, but when he saw that the person was Bai Yuanyu, the smile on his face faded significantly.

It wasn't that he looked down on Bai Yuanyu; it was just that he looked down on the vast majority of people in the class.

"Hello Du Ruo, long time no see."

"Hmm, long time no see."

Perhaps for Chen Mo's sake, Du Ruo still responded to Bai Yuanyu.

"Assemble!"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a heavenly decree exploded in the ears of every Student, and Duan Fei's figure appeared above them at this moment.

This was not Chen Mo's first time entering the academy's exclusive Divine Kingdom, but previously, he had only entered via a projection through a connection pod.

He hadn't felt much before, but now that he had entered with his true body, he could personally feel the power of a True God-level expert.

It was a feeling of oppression that made one short of breath just by looking up.

As for why he didn't feel this way at school, it was actually due to the will of the Main World plane.

Within the Main World, all transcendents are suppressed by the plane's will, and the higher the realm, the greater the restrictions.

"Today is the weekly routine assessment. Because there are newcomers, I will repeat the rules."

Duan Fei swept his gaze over the Students, pausing significantly on Chen Mo and Bai Yuanyu.

"The assessment type is: Kindred Test! I will place each of you on a floating island, and after a certain interval, my Kindred will enter. All you have to do is hold out for as long as possible."

As he spoke, a small stack of cards emitting a faint golden light suddenly appeared in Duan Fei's hand.

"This time, the academy will only reward the top thirteen. The higher the ranking of the top three, the better the rewards, while the last ten will receive the same rewards."

After finishing, Duan Fei tossed the thirteen cards, and they floated above all the Students, at a distance where they could reach them just by looking up.

There was no doubt that this was blatant temptation, and the kind that one could not refuse.

"Chen Mo, divine art card, it's a divine art card!"

Bai Yuanyu pointed excitedly at one of the cards and said.

Although Chen Mo did not speak, his eyes were also flashing with brilliance.
