Different civilizations! Provocation!

The cat-eared girl's bright eyes blinked, curiously staring at White Night, as if studying some rare treasure.

After a long moment, White Night broke the silence and asked, "Blue Star. What about you? Which... civilization are you from?"

Hearing this, the cat-eared girl's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her small nose wrinkled, and she looked puzzled, saying, "Blue Star? How come I've never heard of this human civilization?"

She tilted her head in thought, then suddenly, as if realizing something, her eyes lit up: "I'm from Blazing Flame Star. So, your civilization has just started the 'divine selection'?"

The cat girl's tone clearly became somewhat surprised, and her cat ears unconsciously perked up.

White Night nodded.

At this moment, several people nearby who had already noticed the situation also walked over. Among them, a young man with silver wings on his back also looked surprised and said:

"What? You actually come from a new 'divine selection' civilization!?"

"How surprising, after so many years, another new 'divine selection' civilization has appeared."

A woman with pale green skin next to him also exclaimed, her tone full of emotion.

White Night was also a bit surprised at this moment. He hadn't expected that the civilizations these people belonged to weren't just beginning the "divine selection."

He thought everyone was a newbie!

"So it seems you're the first in your civilization to enter the Eternal Divine Tower, right? That's amazing!"

The cat-eared girl clapped her hands, sincerely praising him, her eyes sparkling.

Then, she continued, "Do you need me to show you around the Eternal Divine Tower?"

White Night nodded and said, "If you could, I'd appreciate it."

"Hehe, no need to be polite, follow me!"

The cat-eared girl smiled and waved her hand, turning to walk towards the Eternal Divine Tower, her fluffy ears gently swaying.

The cat-eared girl led White Night closer to the Eternal Divine Tower.

The reliefs on the tower body became even clearer in the sunlight, and the postures of those extraordinary creatures seemed to come alive.

As she walked, she said:

"My name is Lin Leer, what about you?"

"White Night."

"Oh! Your name sounds very nice! Like a star in the night." Lin Leer said with a smile, her eyes curving into crescents.

"It's alright." White Night replied indifferently, a bit unaccustomed to such praise.

"…" Seeing that he wasn't very talkative, Lin Leer didn't continue the conversation, only quickened her pace.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the tall tower, before the tower gate.

The massive tower gate was tightly shut, carved with intricate patterns, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

Lin Leer's slender, fair fingers pointed to a tall stone monument standing before the tower gate, and she said sweetly:

"This is the eternal god monument, it records the top ten ranked professionals by trial completion time for each floor!"

"Every professional who can be recorded will receive extra rewards from the Game System. The rewards will be very generous, possibly rare materials, advanced skill books, and even high-tier equipment!"

When she spoke of rewards, her eyes sparkled with excitement, clearly longing for them.

"This is your first time in the Eternal Divine Tower, so it should be your first class advancement. If you can get recorded in the first trial, you'll receive rewards!"

White Night nodded, his gaze falling on the eternal god monument, carefully looking at the records of the first trial on the stone monument:

[First Place: Holy Light Civilization -- 'Lu Jing', 3 hours 56 minutes]

[Second Place: Apocalypse Civilization -- 'Xiao Jin', 6 hours 32 minutes]

[Third Place: Watchman Civilization -- 'Chu Chen', 9 hours 33 minutes]

[...]

[Tenth Place: Blazing Flame Civilization -- 'Lin Yi', 15 hours 35 minutes]

...The time differences behind these names were considerable, with the first-place result being far ahead.

'So it's ranked by completion time. It seems that to get rewards, I not only have to pass the trial but also complete it as quickly as possible.'

White Night thought to himself, full of confidence. With his current strength, he might just be able to challenge the rankings.

Just then, a harsh voice suddenly rang out, full of disdain and mockery:

"Hey! Him? Is he even worthy?"

White Night and Lin Leer both frowned simultaneously and turned to look. They saw a tall, slender young man in a white magic robe, also with a pair of cat ears, walking over. His cat ears were gray, and his eyes held a strong sense of superiority.

He looked at White Night provocatively, his chin slightly raised, in the posture of a superior. "Hick, you should first consider whether you can even complete the trial!"

White Night was about to speak, but Lin Leer stepped in front of him first, scolding, "Xiao Feng! What does our conversation have to do with you? Why are you butting in?!"

Xiao Feng, being rebuked, looked at White Night with even greater disgust. He snorted coldly and said, "Just you wait, this hick is definitely going to fail the trial!"

With that, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Lin Leer turned around and comforted White Night, saying, "This guy is Xiao Feng. He's also from our Blazing Flame Star Civilization. He's always like this, with his nose in the air. Don't mind him, relax. There are three chances for the trial. Even if you fail the first time, it's okay. Learn from the experience and come back next time."

White Night raised an eyebrow, looked at Lin Leer, and said, "Listening to you, you don't actually think I can pass the trial, do you?"

Lin Leer stuck out her pink tongue, chuckling a bit embarrassed, "After all, you're from a new 'divine selection' civilization, and the first professional to come to the Eternal Divine Tower. Resources and experience are definitely lacking..."

White Night understood her meaning upon hearing this.

A professional from a civilization where the game has just descended, with almost zero foundation in various aspects, likely without good equipment or items, it's normal not to be optimistic about them.

But he didn't intend to explain anything. Results were the best proof.

Lin Leer glanced at White Night's handsome face and comforted him again, "But you really don't need to worry. The difficulty of the first trial isn't too great. After summing up some experience and making some preparations back home, I believe you'll successfully advance your class the second time!"

White Night looked at her helplessly, nodded gently, and didn't say much more.

Then he turned and walked towards the gate of the Eternal Divine Tower.

He would prove with action that professionals from new civilizations could also create miracles!
