198: Attacking the Holy Land? The core of authority!

“Becoming a god still requires submitting an application report? That’s a bit too outrageous, isn’t it?”

“What if it’s not approved?”

Lin Ye countered.

“Then you wait, of course,” Avinia said solemnly. “In the Divine Realm, attacking a higher-being without an unexpected situation usually means seeking death. The success rate is extremely, extremely low.”

“The success rate is higher if done through an opposing force, but if it can’t be hidden from the eyes of the Gods, you yourself will be dealt with first.”

Lin Ye found this completely unacceptable.

“Are you kidding? I want to be a god, and I still have to care about whose approval I need?”

“Then wouldn’t my becoming a god be in vain?!”

Avinia, however, said,

“But this is the simplest path to promotion. As long as a God approves, there’s almost no risk or difficulty.”

“If you choose a path without a God in place, then you’ll face too many things.”

“Firstly, the goal of promotion is unclear; you might not find the core of a higher-being’s authority for thousands of years. Secondly, the difficulty is too great. After obtaining the authority, you must fully integrate it and solidify it…”

“In simple terms, you need to establish the authority of your power.”

“During this process, you will face threats from multiple challengers. At the same time, you also need to establish corresponding authority within the eternal, and in this process, you must also evade the coveting of other Gods.”

“Because authority, this thing, is either here or there; there are always overlapping parts.”

“Any path, any authority, holds immense appeal to any God.”

Hearing this,

Lin Ye could roughly understand the logic within the Divine Realm.

He could also understand why the job change requirements outside of Time and Space were so simple and pure.

He could also guess that

the monsters required to be killed in the early stages were just for practice.

Later on,

one must find the core of authority, or kill the corresponding higher-being on that path, to complete the job change.

Being a Demigod was still a bit far off.

Lin Ye didn’t need to consider it for now.

But Avinia had already reached this step.

“What did you mean earlier, that you still have a chance for promotion?”

“The light of knowledge is the higher-being of this path. Its level is uncertain; it might be one of the knowledge-type Seraphs, but it’s a relatively special existence because it is not bound by the Divine Realm barrier and can appear within the eternal.”

Avinia mused.

“It’s also possible that it itself is one of the core authorities of the knowledge type.”

Lin Ye seemed to understand her meaning.

“Can the core of authority be controlled by a Demigod or a Seraph, or can it even be a ‘person’ itself?”

Avinia nodded and said,

“The Eye of Insight’s level is too low to detect higher-beings of one’s own path. It can only be guessed through other information.”

“My conclusion is that,”

“the path of knowledge currently has a vacancy. No application is needed. As long as I reach the Sacred Realm and successfully complete the initial integration, I can complete the 6th Job Change and become a Demigod.”

“First, I’ll complete the job change, and then consider establishing authority later.”

“The biggest threat should be the light of knowledge. Any other Demigods, Seraphs, and Gods are potential threats.”

“The most dangerous time should be during the integration process in the Sacred Realm.”

“The rest,”

“are within control.”

Yi Yi listened very carefully, then suddenly showed a puzzled expression: “Didn’t big sister say that promotion, besides a quota, also requires the core of authority?”

Avinia pushed up the glasses on her nose, a confident smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

“That… I already have it.”

“Otherwise, what do you think I was doing as an Arcane Instructor in Ostra?”

Lin Ye unfolded his Chronal Eye.

Only then did he realize that the black-framed glasses she occasionally wore did not display a fully analyzed state like ordinary items and equipment.

On the contrary,

these glasses had always been completely solid, an existence that could not be seen through by the Chronal Eye.

With the glasses on, Avinia

even Lin Ye couldn’t predict her position three seconds later.

This point,

Lin Ye had completely not expected.

After all, besides a pervert, who would take a magnifying glass and stare at their own people for no reason?

“Was this also obtained from the ruins?”

“Yes.”

Avinia replied, then became a little excited: “Let’s hurry. The condition for going to the Sacred Realm for promotion is that I am confident in fully integrating these glasses.”

“I need Yi Yi’s knowledge.”

“Vera Diya’s dream assistance is also very useful.”

“Moon Yao, from the path of the Saints a thousand years ago, is also something I must master.”

“Time is limited, let’s start quickly!”

Hiss!!

Lin Ye couldn’t help but gasp.

Are we going to the Sacred Realm already?

If it were normal times,

Lin Ye would have no pressure at all.

But now?

The Gods have just jointly blasted open the Sacred Realm barrier, and I’m just rushing in like this. Isn’t the danger a bit too high?

Should I complete my job change first?

Next 4th Job Change.

Legendary rank.

Lin Ye calculated.

Although that Seraph didn’t make a move, and the battle power ranking showed his rank as only a Saint, the reward given in the announcement was at the Demigod level.

If he counts as a Demigod,

then all the prerequisites and materials for my job change can be gathered today.

The only thing to face

is the possible trial.

“The trial outside of Time and Space shouldn’t count time here in the eternal. I can take a gamble.”

No matter how Lin Ye thought about it,

completing the 4th Job Change before going to the Sacred Realm was the safer option.

After all, in the Sacred Realm…

It’s not just Saints.

The distance between there and the Divine Realm should be very close.

Both Seraphs and Gods could potentially appear.

Even if they couldn’t appear,

the strength Gods could display in the Sacred Realm would definitely be much stronger than in the eternal.

Even if, hypothetically, there were only Saints in the Sacred Realm.

But.

Do you know how many Saints there are?

The history of the Eternal World is more than ten thousand years.

For countless years, strong individuals who reached the end of the Saint rank had only one path: entering the Sacred Realm!

Demigods might be immortal and undying.

But Saints in the Sacred Realm wouldn’t die particularly quickly either.

Now,

even the Gods probably don’t know how many Demigod candidates are in the Sacred Realm.

And how many of these people are ‘lunatics’ who yearn for promotion but haven’t received a quota for many years.

The Sacred Realm

is definitely not a place where mortals can casually step.

Even if Lin Ye had Space-Time Power as a fallback, he still had to be careful.

Facing the Saints,

any carelessness would likely lead to a very unpleasant outcome.

“And!”

Lin Ye suddenly thought of something, his heart trembling.

“If Avinia’s glasses are the core of authority, then is my Time Wheel Star Key the core of Time and Space authority?”
