8: Chapter 8 My Future is the Stars and the Sea!!!

Tianwu First High School.

First training hall.

The dome lit up with brilliant simulated starlight.

Hundreds of senior high school students took their seats in order.

The head instructor, draped in federal-style robes, stood before the holographic projection platform to start the final theoretical training session before the exam.

"Having initially grasped the authority of creation, you all must already feel deeply exhausted."

The instructor's tone was solemn, directly pointing out the current predicament facing all novice deities.

Bitterness appeared on the faces of the students present, and they nodded one after another.

The instructor brought up several collapsed ecological models of the divine kingdoms, projecting them into mid-air.

"The underlying ecology is extremely fragile. The slightest deviation in species proportion will trigger large-scale deaths and crop failures."

"In the early stages, the governance of the divine kingdoms by the vast majority of novice deities is just like kneading dough."

"Add flour if there's too much water, and add water if there's too much flour."

"When herbivorous dependent races are hungry, they spend faith points to drop basic forage. When carnivorous dependent races are lacking, they buy live meat to forcefully fill the gap."

"Such an approach relies entirely on the Creator consuming a massive amount of energy for forced intervention to maintain an extremely fragile dynamic balance."

The entire audience was dead silent.

The vast majority of students were adopting this clumsy cramming-style management.

The instructor's words took a sharp turn, and his tone became heavier.

"Such operations severely deplete the divine being's soul computing power. Once they encounter plane wars and intense frontline clashes, the Creator will have no time to attend to internal affairs at all."

"By then, the divine kingdom's ecology will definitely collapse completely, and its origin will shatter."

"The true supreme deduction of the star sea is called governing through non-action."

Four large characters floated in mid-air, exuding coercion.

"Build a perfectly closed-loop ecological chain. Let all things in the divine kingdom naturally multiply, check and balance each other, and eliminate and strengthen themselves."

"You only need to descend rules, without needing to attend to every single matter personally."

"This is the grand dao of deities. To achieve this step extremely tests the Creator's top-level design talent and resource architecture capability. Throughout the federation, those who can achieve effortless governance in the freshman stage are exceedingly rare."

Lin Yunfei sat upright in the back row.

Hearing these words, a trace of comprehension emerged in the depths of his eyes.

The instructor's theoretical framework completely matched his practical calculations from last night.

Tier 1 Shadow Wind Wolf hunted Tier 1 Iron-Bristled Wild Boar, and human heavy infantry encircled and suppressed the wolves and boars.

The ice plain Dark Ice Snow Camel provided high-grade extreme-yin fertilizer to nourish the sea of soul-condensing flowers.

Although it still appeared relatively rough at present, it could also display a hint of the mindset of governing through non-action.

The theoretical lecture was completed.

The instructor turned off the star map projection and pressed the heavy metal central control hub in front of him.

A federal-standard creation accounting instrument standing ten meters tall descended from the dome.

The cold mechanical eye scanned the entire audience.

"There are only a few days left until the initial test. Today's second item of special training is the foundation background accounting and assessment for all members."

"This will be used to define the theater division of you all on the examination grounds."

The instructor announced the rules.

The students walked onto the stage in order according to their student ID numbers.

Their palms pressed against the accounting instrument, opening a very small portion of the divine kingdom data interfaces for the terminal to scan.

Beep.

Harsh electronic sounds rang out one after another.

[Ordinary student Li Tian. Dependent race: Gray-skinned Goblin. Tier: Mortal. Tier 1 individual: Zero.]

[Ordinary student Zhao Chong. Dependent race: Orc. Tier: Mortal. Tier 1 individual: Zero.]

The data of a large number of ordinary students was extremely dismal.

With a small divine kingdom area and scarce resources, everyone was struggling on the edge of the passing line.

Even feeding the dependent races had become an extravagant hope, let alone cultivating Tier 1 extraordinary individuals.

After dozens of people were tested, not a single one met the standard.

Until the front of Class One, Wang Han, the young master of the Wang family, stood up and took the stage.

His steps were full of wind, and his face wore an extremely confident arrogance.

He pressed his palm down.

The accounting instrument erupted with dazzling blue light.

[Assessment target: Wang Han]

[Core dependent race: Elven Archer]

[Highest tier: Early Tier 1 (Quantity: One)]

The audience was in an uproar.

Exclamations rose one after another.

"As expected of the young master of the Wang family, he actually managed to smash out a Tier 1 extraordinary individual in just dozens of days."

"An early Tier 1 Elven Archer's single-target shooting power is enough to pierce through ten heavily armored Orcs. The initial test is secure."

Listening to the flattery around him, Wang Han looked around the audience arrogantly.

Blessed by a B-grade talent, coupled with the high-grade elven spring water purchased by the family at a heavy price.

The dual pioneering of capital and talent created such an extremely high progress.

Wang Han walked down the stage, his gaze sweeping provocatively across the corner where Lin Yunfei was located.

Lin Yunfei ignored him the whole time, only caring about calculating the subsequent soul-condensing flower dumping and splitting plan on the creation terminal.

"Next, special training class, Liu Ting."

The instructor read out the name, with obvious expectations in his tone.

Liu Ting was draped in a silver-patterned tactical uniform, with a tall and upright posture, walking slowly onto the stage.

The gazes of the whole audience were focused on this proud daughter of heaven who came from a commoner background and soared into a true phoenix in a single bound.

Her palm fit against the crystal panel of the accounting instrument.

Boom.

An extremely dense ice-blue halo soared into the sky, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop sharply.

[Assessment target: Liu Ting]

[Core dependent race: Frost Elementalist]

[Highest tier: Late Tier 1 (Quantity: One)]

Late Tier 1.

Four characters floated in mid-air, like heavy hammers smashing into the hearts of all students.

Even the knowledgeable head instructor showed shock on his face, praising repeatedly.

"Splendid. The A-grade frost law is indeed overbearing. Late Tier 1 combat power is enough to sweep through all unowned planes below C-rank in the initial test."

Liu Ting withdrew her palm, enjoying the near-adoring gazes of the audience.

She and Wang Han reached an interest alliance.

The Wang family poured tens of thousands of faith points' worth of high-grade ice-type resources into bridging the funding gap of her first year.

Relying on these massive resources, matching the super-strong absorption rate of her A-grade talent, the companion ice elves soared all the way, directly reaching late Tier 1.

Such achievements had already locked down a top-ten seat in Tianwu City.

Liu Ting's expression was aloof.

Now she, and those commoner students who couldn't even feed mortal dependent races, belonged to two different worlds.

The testing continued.

A large batch of failed data flashed past rapidly.

Until the last line of the roster.

"Lin Yunfei."

The instructor read out the name, shaking his head inwardly.

The former theoretical number one person, practicing on an F-grade Wasteland, was destined to be a tragedy.

Lin Yunfei stood up, his expression calm, and walked steadily down the aisle.

Fragmented sneers and whispers came from both sides.

"An F-grade divine kingdom still dares to come for accounting? It's probably just left with a bunch of starved goblin skeletons."

"The area is only ten square kilometers, the ecological chain broke long ago."

Lin Yunfei ignored the noise and stepped up the stairs.

He stood still in front of the accounting instrument.

His mind moved slightly, calling up the highest creation command.

The Wasteland Divine Kingdom was extremely deceptive.

The twenty thousand human heavy-armored grand army and massive resources were all forcibly concealed in the depths of the fog by him using gold entry laws.

Only the single-body data interface of the leader [Yanyi] was opened.

Playing it safe and developing steadily was the absolute truth.

A single Tier 1 was enough to cope with the school's bottom-testing; exposing his trump card was truly a foolish act.

His palm pressed against the cold crystal panel.

The accounting instrument's mechanical eye flashed red, beginning to analyze the F-grade Wasteland.

The instructor, who was originally prepared to record zero-point data, suddenly widened his eyes.

On the crystal panel, a blazing crimson light forcibly tore open the wasteland haze, rushing straight to the dome.

[Assessment target: Lin Yunfei]

[Core dependent race: Human Mutant]

[Highest tier: Early Tier 1 (Quantity: One)]

The hall fell into a dead silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

All sneers and ridicules were forcibly stuck in their throats.

The arrogance on Wang Han's face stiffened on the spot, his fists tightly gripping the edge of the table.

"Early Tier 1. How could this be?"

The instructor stared at the accounting instrument and confirmed it again and again, certain that the instrument was operating normally.

His gaze towards Lin Yunfei changed completely.

On an F-grade Wasteland with an area of only ten square kilometers and exhausted spiritual energy.

Relying on extremely meager basic subsidies.

He forcibly cultivated a Tier 1 extraordinary individual relying on calculation and ecological exploitation.

This terrifying top-level deduction and resource exploitation ability far exceeded any chaebol offspring present.

"You are actually able to apply theoretical deduction to such an ultimate degree."

The instructor sighed out loud, his tone full of undisguised regret.

Liu Ting sat in the prime position of the special training class.

Looking at the crimson data on the big screen, her face burned faintly.

A few days ago, she publicly asserted in the street that Lin Yunfei wouldn't survive the initial test, concluding that he couldn't even feed a single goblin.

Now, this early Tier 1 human mutant was equivalent to an invisible slap in the face.

She clenched her teeth, having to admit.

Regarding the talent and calculation of managing a divine kingdom, Lin Yunfei was enough to crush everyone present.

If he were allowed to hold an A-grade start, his achievements would definitely far exceed her own.

What a pity.

The star sea laws only looked at foundation data, regardless of the process.

Liu Ting stood up, looked directly at Lin Yunfei on the stage, and let out a long sigh.

"I take back what I said a few days ago."

"Being able to nurture a Tier 1 on an F-grade Wasteland, you truly deserve to be called a management prodigy."

Her tone returned to indifference, carrying the absolute certainty of a high-grade talent holder.

"But this is already your endpoint."

"The origin of the F-grade Wasteland is extremely shallow; bearing a Tier 1 life form has already reached the limit."

"Resources are exhausted, and the territory is narrow. Your divine kingdom has absolutely no possibility of advancing any further."

"Looking at the vast star sea, an early Tier 1 life form cannot even be considered a speck of dust. The top ten in Tianwu City all start at late Tier 1. You forcibly drained the wasteland foundation, which is ultimately just futile."

Liu Ting gave the final judgment.

"Lin Yunfei, you can still only stop here."

Facing his ex-girlfriend's decisive sigh, facing the class's glances mixed with shock and pity.

Lin Yunfei withdrew his palm pasted on the accounting instrument.

Silent the whole time.

His expression had no ripples at all.

Only he himself knew.

That early Tier 1 life form named Yanyi was definitely not the limit of the wasteland.

In the depths shrouded by the fog.

A full twenty thousand half-step Tier 1 heavily armored fierce soldiers were drilling day and night, and a massive amount of Tier 1 spiritual beasts populated the wilderness.

The sea of soul-condensing flowers was also breeding crazily.

My future will definitely not stop here.

My future is a sea of stars!!!
