80: The three cultivation methods of the new system

At Yang Jian's home.

"Slow down, no one is going to snatch it from you! Yang Yuchan and I have already eaten!"

Yang Jian's face darkened as he watched the three uninvited guests gorging themselves in his home.

Especially when the three of them would occasionally critique the food, making him want to hit someone!

"Hiss! This level is even better than the Michelin food I had a few days ago! Classmate Yang Jian, did you awaken as a God of Cooking or something?"

Shen Pan gave a thumbs up and continued to wolf down his food.

'Who are you calling a bastard?!'

Yang Jian's eyelid twitched. Looking at Shen Pan's innocent, simple, and clear eyes, he suspected he might be overreacting.

Was Shen Pan not actually insulting him?

"It's indeed acceptable, only slightly worse than my family's chef."

"It's just a bit too home-style, not refined enough. I suggest learning how to plate and garnish; if the atmosphere is improved a bit more, I could give it an 8.7."

Ruan Qingshu, who had only taken a few bites before gracefully putting down her chopsticks, commented.

Hehe, well, thank you very much!

As for what she said, Yang Jian completely ignored it.

It's already generous of me to treat you to a meal, and you're actually giving suggestions!

"Delicious! Ah! Classmate Shen Pan, you're ambushing me again! Give me back my meatball!"

Jiang Ruolai, with her mouth full, had barely finished muttering a few perfunctory words when she saw the few meatballs she had specifically saved for last being stolen by Shen Pan.

This was the second time!

She was not someone to be bullied easily.

If you provoke her, you're kicking cotton... no, an iron plate!

With that thought, Jiang Ruolai was instantly enraged.

She viciously raised her chopsticks to engage in a fencing match with Shen Pan.

The dining table was filled with the sounds of "Clap!" "Clap!" and "Clang!" from their collision.

Fortunately, both of them knew where they were and, in order not to waste food, tacitly controlled their strength.

Meanwhile, Ruan Qingshu took out her phone and quietly recorded the scene, as if documenting something important.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jian's face darkened, and he felt his anger growing exponentially!

"Hilarious! The battle for meatballs has always been this way! I've already eaten it, what can you do to me?"

"Does Shen Pan like eating these meatballs? Come to my house next time; I'll have the chef make more. If you're full, you can even stay the night. My father and second uncle are both very interested in you."

"Uh... no need, Classmate Qingshu. I'm socially anxious and don't dare to go to a Classmate's house!"

"??? Is this right, Qingshu? Why didn't I get such good treatment back then? I was always forced to eat grass with you!"

"Because you don't need any more nutritional supplements, Ruolai. Eating that much meat is a waste."

Yang Jian: "..."

Seeing the three of them acting up again, he deeply regretted the decision to invite the three of them and cook for them personally.

"Isn't this great? It's lively with more people. We owe a lot to the three seniors today!"

Yang Yuchan didn't find Shen Pan and the others noisy at all.

Instead, she ate her melon with a full smile, leaving Yang Jian baffled.

After lunch, Yang Yuchan went out to mail some Imperial Capital specialties to her friends back home.

As a result, she was targeted by some people because of her appearance.

Fortunately, the three of them, who had just finished the last two instances of the week and were preparing to go to Shen Pan's house to discuss the exchange, noticed something wrong.

They saved her from the bad guys.

Otherwise, Yang Yuchan didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if she were truly pushed to the limit.

In order to ensure her own safety, would she... kill someone!

Yang Yuchan touched a small glass ornament in her pocket.

Looking at the small group, who were casually playing around and seemingly having a harmonious time (?), her eyes were filled with envy.

Thinking back to the inexplicable urge she had to leave her brother and the Imperial Capital, her heart was instantly filled with sorrow.

"Does the deification system... change a person's thoughts?"

...

Antarctica.

Because she was too bored, she went to visit an acquaintance next door, and at the same time, Xia Zhaoyue, who had casually killed an ugly Archduke of Demons and returned after accepting many gifts, habitually opened her phone.

"Heh... the new system is called the Path of Deification; it really hasn't changed at all."

A complex expression appeared in Xia Zhaoyue's eyes.

Back when she relied on the Immortal Sword to prematurely trigger the arrival of the third Transcendence Awakening, she had wondered whether she should change the ending of the Path of deification system.

To let those many Prodigies who should have become council members truly grow up.

Instead of killing each other and dying in Blue Star's own internal strife!

But having not understood the deification system in her previous life, she had absolutely no way to start!

She only knew that those so-called Awakened ones merely had Soul fragments of powerful individuals born within their bodies.

These fragments would grant them the power of those strong individuals.

Other than the fact that those strong individuals were suspected to have truly existed on Blue Star in the past, she knew nothing else; she could do nothing!

"No, I did indeed promote the progress of the Transcendence Awakening system in Great Xia and Blue Star.

Letting wild Prodigies like Shen Pan rise; the butterfly effect still exists!"

A trace of determination appeared in Xia Zhaoyue's eyes; this time it would definitely be different!

Compared to the Councilwoman Xia from her previous life, who couldn't save anyone and couldn't keep anything, she had already done very well this time!

"Perhaps... only that 'sorrow of no light' knows the answer.

And the way to solve the drawbacks of the new system!"

Xia Zhaoyue gripped the rusty and cracked scrap of iron in her hand, biting her lip lightly.

Before she fell in her previous life, she had seen with her own eyes Ruan Qingshu, who had achieved a Breakthrough to the Mythic Rank.

The dangerous, insane state the other party was in when reaching the Late Stage of the deification system was completely different!

It was evident that the big shot really had a way!

Xia Zhaoyue decided to slice out another Clone to sneak into Sakura and search for the other party's whereabouts!

"It just so happens that in a while, a guy calling himself the Moon God will appear over in Sakura.

To confront the brutal sun of the Kujo Family head-on."

If she went there now to ambush, she might be able to pick up a loyal dog-like maid!

It would be great to just chat and kill time!

"Ding!"

A new message arrived.

"Tsk! This group of people, can't they just let me have some peace of mind?"

Looking at the messages and probing from several Clan heads, Xia Zhaoyue shook her head helplessly.

She knew too well what these Martial Saints, who relied on Martial Dao to establish their status in the Clans, were really thinking.

It was nothing more than worrying that the upgrade speed of the new system was too fast, allowing Breakthroughs to Epic in two or three years.

Making them, the old things who couldn't continue to ascend, feel awkward!

In her previous life, when the deification system was praised and sought after by everyone, these people had often targeted those Prodigies of the new system.

"One by one, are they so worried about being surpassed by latecomers and losing their transcendent status?"

Clearly, after she became the pillar of the nation, these things didn't exist in the Clans anymore!

Feeling a bit amused, Xia Zhaoyue directly blocked them.

Answering their questions in this way.

There are only three ways to become stronger in the deification system.

The first is simple and crude: as long as you find an Awakened one with the same source as yourself, kill them, bathe in their blood, and you can directly absorb the Soul fragments within their bodies.

After stacking double the power, you can achieve a span of several Realms!

The cost is extreme instability, easily losing control, drastic changes in personality, and falling into demonic madness!

The second is to build temples, shrines, churches, etc., and spread your own deeds.

Trick some believers into worshipping you; as long as you build enough temples and have enough believers, you can achieve the feat of reaching Epic in one year and Legendary Rank in three years!

The drawback is that it easily causes dissatisfaction and suspicion from the local government.

And this method is the easiest to extinguish one's own emotions and humanity.

Often, by the time one reaches the Epic Peak, one will truly become the deity collectively depicted by the believers.

The original "person" has long since died, becoming an automatically responding machine...

Many native evil gods of Blue Star in the previous life were those Prodigies who lost themselves.

Being coerced by believers to betray humanity and betray Blue Star.

The third...

Xia Zhaoyue fed the corpse of the Legendary demon to the Immortal Sword.

Watching the cracks and rust on the Immortal Sword decrease a little more, a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

It was cold yet contained a flowing brilliance, carrying a natural warmth, just like her name.

"Great Xia should still use the Acting Method.

Slowly wearing down the consciousness within the Soul fragments, and thereby absorbing power!"

Although the upgrade speed cannot compare to the first two, it has the advantage of being safe.

As long as you can endure a few Lost Calamities, you can steadily achieve a Breakthrough to the Epic Rank!

The first two methods are purely traps; even if you Cultivate them, you won't gain anything in the end!

Unfortunately, other countries on Blue Star definitely won't believe it and will only Cultivate them secretly in the dark.

Regarding this, Xia Zhaoyue can only say one thing: Don't call me when something goes wrong!

"It just so happens that I'll go contact that Shen Pan tomorrow; rising to the fourth stage after only ten days of Awakening..."

She was truly too curious!
