Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Lin Qing felt a slight relief upon hearing this.

One in ten thousand?

A hundred Divine's Messengers competing, encountering such a top-tier genius is less than one percent chance.

If he could encounter such a genius, he would have nothing to say.

"In Second-level Civilizations, being able to become a Divine's Messenger is already considered a genius, so generally they can master one or two Divine Skills."

Lord Su casually said: "Those who are more powerful just master a few more Divine Skills. If the Holy Texts are matched well, this kind of genius has some chance of succeeding."

She glanced at Lin Qing, smiling: "Anyway, the average genius from Second-level Civilizations is definitely not as good as you. Taking first place won't be difficult."

Lin Qing's mood lightened significantly, half-jokingly said: "Then maybe I'll encounter a genius from Third-level Civilizations?"

"Don't worry, that's impossible." Lord Su shook her head.

"Impossible?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.

"Not to mention the Divine Son Trial, even in the Star Divine Trial at the Star Stage, it's impossible to encounter a genius from Third-level Civilizations." Lord Su affirmed.

This put Lin Qing at ease.

According to the Sky Island Guardian, before mastering Divine Skills, he could only barely count as elite level in the Second-level Civilization.

Now he understood the reason.

The difference in Genetic Optimization Index is too vast. Even though he's a Divine's Messenger and at times can exhibit higher level abilities, his advantage wasn't significant. Naturally, he could only count as an elite.

Only after mastering powerful Divine Skills could he be called a genius of the Second-level Civilization.

If he masters a perfect Combined Divine Skill like "World God", then he would be one in ten thousand top-tier genius even in the Second-level Civilization!

The Sky Island Guardian probably didn't even dream... that he could actually master "World God", did he?

No wonder the Sky Island Guardian didn't see any hope for him to pass the 'Divine Son' trial.

If he only mastered one or two Divine Skills, or even a few more, with his past Genetic Optimization Index, he definitely couldn't compete with those geniuses from the Second-level Civilization.

"Let me give you a suggestion."

Lord Su suddenly said: "You can master World God, although you can only exert one or two percent of its power, that's already very amazing. In the Second-level Civilization, you're a genius among geniuses, this kind of comprehension is extraordinary."

She looked at Lin Qing, "When you participate in the Divine Son Trial, don't reveal that you come from a Level One Civilization. Otherwise, if those people from Second-level Civilizations know you have no background, they might investigate you, and who knows what they would do to you then."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, "I never intended to reveal it anyway."

He understood this rationale.

If he could become a Star-level Divine Officer, as a Three Star Level Cosmic Citizen, a Level One Civilization could not restrain him with contracts.

But Second-level Civilizations are different.

Second-level Civilizations definitely have Four Star Level Cosmic Citizens who can fully formulate contracts to restrain him.

"That's not enough, you'll surely be discovered..."

Lord Su pondered for a while and said: "How about I open Bronze Demon Mountain on Earth ahead of time?"

"Bronze Demon Mountain?" Lin Qing was slightly startled.

From the information Lord Su provided, the Sixth Ruins on Earth are named Bronze Demon Mountain, but Earth hasn't been able to enter it until now.

Now he knew the reason.

Because Earth hasn't been opened yet, it hasn't truly connected with the stars.

The function of Bronze Demon Mountain is quite simple.

The reason it's called Demon Mountain is because it contains various demonic temptations and powers; if your will isn't strong enough, you'll get lost in it.

This relic is a place to test and temper one's will.

However...

Bronze Demon Mountain's ultimate purpose is to provide 'Guiding Imprints' to various Second-level Civilizations.

Second-level Civilizations are hidden in the Void Secret Realms where the Cosmic Origin converges, so Level One Civilizations can't even find the existence of Second-level Civilizations.

But with a Guiding Imprint, you can enter the Void Secret Realm of the Second-level Civilization.

Various Second-level Civilizations are interconnected; for them, going to another Second-level Civilization's Void Secret Realm is like traveling abroad, and the Guiding Imprint acts as a visa.

You also need to have a Guiding Imprint containing a shred of Void Origin to enter other Void Secret Realms.

The reward for the Bronze Demon Mountain test is granting Guiding Imprints from various civilizations' secret realms.

It can be considered a very important treasure land relic.

Unexpectedly, Lord Su was willing to open it ahead of time for him?

Lin Qing could feel...

Last time in the Star Cluster Secret Vault, when he exhibited exceptional comprehension, the intelligence of the vault favored him even more and actively exchanged two better treasures for him.

This time it's the same.

It seems...

This ability to merge Divine Skills is more significant than he thought?

"The existence of Bronze Demon Mountain gives you later generations an opportunity."

Lord Su said softly: "People from Level One Civilizations have a low Genetic Optimization Index, low comprehension, low talent... poor environment, it's normal to be inferior to Second-level Civilizations in these aspects."

"But spiritual will is different. Because the environment in Second-level Civilizations is too privileged, they are born without worrying about making a living. As natural Original Lives, they don't even need to temper their will; spiritually, they're often quite ordinary."

She continued: "Bronze Demon Mountain provides you an opportunity; as long as your will is strong, you have the chance to go to Second-level Civilizations for training, to make up for the other disadvantages."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, understanding her meaning.

While most people aspire to equality for all, everyone understands that people can never be equal.

Origin, genes, talent, environment, circumstances... as long as there's an advantage, others might see it as inequality and ask: Why?

But the world is just like this.

Bronze Demon Mountain provides a chance for compensation.

"Once you get a Guiding Imprint from Bronze Demon Mountain, you won't need to worry about being discovered as a Level One Civilization by those from Second-level Civilizations."

Lord Su said: "The Void Origin breath of the Guiding Imprint is very noticeable. Usually, only a few people in Second-level Civilizations qualify to get a Guiding Imprint, sufficient to disguise your identity."

Lin Qing nodded in realization.

It's like the old times when most people have never traveled abroad their entire life.

"I think you have strong will."

Lord Su scrutinized Lin Qing for a moment, "Looks like you've experienced real life and death? If you can temper your will more in Bronze Demon Mountain, your will could become very strong."

"I'll try my best." Lin Qing smiled slightly.

Though he hasn't lived long, his experiences are numerous.

He's seen the deaths of friends and family, faced various apocalyptic disasters, encountered life-threatening betrayals and deceptions, experienced real death and rebirth...

It's not living longer that makes one more determined; becoming more fragile is normal.

Some things you won't understand unless you experience them.

Just like many people don't know what real death feels like. Even those with revival abilities know they'll inevitably come back, which isn't true death. How much tempering effect could it have on one's will?

"I've helped you as much as I can, the rest is up to you."

Lord Su reminded: "As a Primordial Realm citizen, each time you undergo a life level transformation, you can come once."

"Oh?" Lin Qing smiled and said: "Thank you."

"It's what you deserve." Lord Su shook her head slightly, "If the Primordial Realm had not been reduced to this cemetery and some remnants, you should have gotten more."

Lin Qing just said: "I'm leaving now."

Next, after visiting the Sixth Ruins 'Bronze Demon Mountain', it will be time to participate in the Original Level Divine Vocation Trial.
