"Are they the Divine Princes and Goddesses of different races?"
"I heard that they were directly sent to the third test. That's how the Divine Princes of the major races are treated!"
"That's normal. After all, the Divine Princes and Goddesses of different races aren't easy to deal with. The second test would've been extremely dangerous if they had joined us."
"That's true."
The people in the temple walked out one after another, all of them discussing.
On the square outside the temple — the Divine Princes and Goddesses hovered in the sky and looked down at the people inside the temple indifferently. Then, they began to size up the Divine Princes of other races. For them, the Divine Princes of other races were the only ones who could be their competitors when they entered the Heavenly Path Academy.
"Huh?"
Su Ping also walked out of the temple and glanced around. There were two or three hundred Divine Princes and Goddesses, which surprised him. Had all the races in the Divinity sent their Divine Princes there?
Soon after, Su Ping saw a familiar person.
"Look, isn't that the guy we met earlier?" Tang Ruyan exclaimed in a low voice.
Four or five of the Divine Princes and Goddesses were standing together. They all had the same hair color and eyes, and their robes had the same purple emblem. One of them was the young man from the Lin Clan that Su Ping had met earlier.
Two men and two women were standing next to the young man. All of them had extraordinary temperaments and were looking around. They didn't seem to be the young man's servants.
"There are over a dozen high-level Divine Princes," Joanna said solemnly in a low voice.
"Only over a dozen?" Su Ping was surprised. He had thought that the Divine Princes and Goddesses were all high-level Divine Princes and Goddesses.
"There are only over thirty high-level Divine Princes in the entire Archean Divinity. I don't know how many are left. The Divine Princes and Goddesses of the other mid-level Divine Princes and Goddesses are not to be underestimated. Some of the top talents from the mid-level Divine Princes and Goddesses can even defeat the high-level Divine Princes easily, but …"
At this point, she suddenly stopped talking.
"But what?" Tang Ruyan was curious.
Joanna pondered for a bit before whispering: "However, these geniuses either have to join a high-level god race or find a power comparable to a high-level god race, such as the Heavenly Dao Academy or some Ancestor God's sect. Otherwise, these geniuses won't be able to go far without protection."
Tang Ruyan was surprised. "Are those high-level gods suppressing him? That's way too petty! "
"It's not a matter of being stingy. The territories of the high-ranking Protoss are the most fertile places. Every time a high-ranking Protoss is born, the interests of the other high-ranking Protoss will be damaged. To become a high-ranking Protoss, not only must the power of the entire race be raised to a corresponding level, but also some connections. Of course, if an Ancestral God is born, then there's no doubt that he can become a high-ranking Protoss," Joanna explained in a low voice.
Tang Ruyan came back to her senses. "Why does it sound like they're competing with us?"
"Since ancient times, many things and rules have always been the same for different classes and species," Su Ping explained calmly.
Joanna nodded slightly to show her agreement. She then said, "The few people next to the Divine Prince of the Lin Clan should also be the Divine Princes and Goddesses of the Lin Clan. Generally, four or five Divine Princes and Goddesses will be elected from the high-level Divine Clans. This depends on the number and quality of the geniuses born in the clan. The Divine Prince who will eventually succeed the clan leader and become the Divine Emperor will be the strongest one who wins the competition among the Divine Princes. This competition will usually officially begin when the Divine Prince reaches the Apotheosis State.
"However, the competition between the Divine Princes has already begun when they're selected."
Tang Ruyan asked curiously, "What about the Divine Princes who fail? Will they be killed?"
"Some were killed, and some were exiled. This is inevitable. Although those who are chosen to be the God's Child are all geniuses, in order to obtain the strongest genius, the rest are just foils. After all, only one of the strongest geniuses is needed. As for the secondary geniuses, no matter how many of them there are, they won't be able to shake it or exchange it," Joanna said.
Tang Ruyan looked at her calm face and suddenly felt that she wasn't mature enough compared to her.
"Back then, Father made me a mask for Little Sister for the same reason. It was all for the sake of the family … But …" Her eyes flashed and she shook her head slightly, suppressing those thoughts in her heart.
While they were talking, three elders from the Heavenly Path Academy appeared in the sky. The gentle-looking elder said with a smile, "Sorry for the wait, everyone. Today is the third test. I'm sure you're already aware of the content. Since the Heavenly Path Academy's standards are different, none of you passed. Don't be discouraged; you'll have another chance if you work hard."
His words were comforting and didn't make anyone feel like they were being belittled.
After he finished speaking, the old man waved his sleeve, and a bright golden divine stone appeared. This divine stone was about six feet long, and there were black metal nails embedded in it. These black nails were connected by black metal wires, and the end was connected to a round ball the size of a head.
"This is the Golden Stone, also known as the Gods' Tear.
"This stone is very sensitive to divinity, so it's a sensor that can be used to search for treasures with divinity.
"After the modification, all you need to do is to touch the ball and you'll be able to sense the density of divinity in the depth of your soul."
With that said, the elder looked to the front and said, "Now, Divine Princes, please come forward. Who wants to take the test first?"
"Me!"
"Me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight voices immediately sounded out. There were both men and women, and it was obvious that all of them had rather confident and radical personalities, and they acted swiftly and decisively.
"Come out, one at a time," said the elder gently.
These people immediately flew out, the fastest among them was a woman who was closest to the Golden Divine Stone. This woman was wearing a black skirt, and on the skirt were countless specks of light, as if there were stars flashing. This was an extremely strong defensive treasure.
While they were flying out, a few people wearing white robes of the Heavenly Path Academy flew over. Su Ping found that they were all in the Ascendant State.
"Tell us your names and your families, then step forward and take the test," said a middle-aged man wearing a crown. A middle-aged man with a crown on his head said in a deep voice. He had a divine book in his hand, and as he slowly opened it, a brush formed from divine power appeared, as if he was preparing to record something.
The woman in the black dress said with a voice as clear as an oriole's, with pride and confidence, "Ling Yin of the Glory clan!"
Then, she pressed her hand on the black ball.
Soon, the pitch-black ball began to glow with a golden light. Strands of golden light appeared until the entire ball was dyed golden. Then, it flowed along the black metal behind the ball and dyed the black nail on the divine stone.
One, two, a total of seven black nails were dyed golden.
When the golden light stopped, the middle-aged man with the star crown gestured for her to step back. The brush in front of his chest automatically recorded the result on the book. Then, he said, "Next."
