Chapter 4208: 4208 Lang Chun Yuan, the Supreme God
4208 Lang Chun Yuan, the Supreme God
A crowd had gathered near the portal to the Trial of Gods since the group of prodigies would be coming out of the Trial of Gods within a few days.
Not everyone came to watch the show. Some of them were members of supreme-rank forces waiting for their fellow members to come out so they could report back to their respective forces.
Many of the students of the Myriad Laws Academy joined the academy to grow stronger so they could better contribute to their respective forces in the future. At that time, they would also receive special privileges from their respective forces.
A student from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation stared at the Transportation Formation as he muttered inwardly, 'Senior Brother Hu Lan Qi is the only one from our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation to die in the Trial of Gods... Senior Brother Meng Yu and Senior Brother Murong Hai Tang are still alive.'
Murong Hai Tang and Meng Yu were the two strongest Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
As for Hu Lan Qi, he was not the most outstanding student from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation in the academy. After all, he had always been second to Wang Yun Sheng, also a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. However, Hu Lan Qi became the strongest student from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation in the Myriad Laws Academy after Duan Ling Tian killed Wang Yun Sheng. Unfortunately, at some point, his Soul Pearl had shattered, indicating that he had died in the Trial of Gods.
Despite Hu Lan Qi's death, the members of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were preoccupied with finding out how their two strongest Holy Sons fared in the Trial of Gods.
At this time...
"Are they out yet?"
The disciple from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation jolted slightly when he received a message. Then, he hurriedly replied, "Vice Leader, they're not out yet."
The message was from Lu Tian Feng, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
...
In the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation's estate.
"They haven't come out?"
Lu Tian Feng frowned slightly after receiving the reply. After a moment, he said to the disciple at the Myriad Laws Academy, "Apart from the two Holy Sons, keep an eye out for Duan Ling Tian. I wonder if he died in the Trial of Gods."
...
Back in the Myriad Laws Academy.
"Yes, Vice Leader," the disciple from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation replied. At the same time, he wondered inwardly, 'There were rumors over the past two years that Vice Leader has a grudge against Duan Ling Tian... So it's true? It's said that Vice Leader annihilated the entire mundane realm that Duan Ling Tian came from and killed many of those related to him...'
The disciple felt chills running up his spine when he recalled the scene where Duan Ling Tian killed Wang Yun Sheng, a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. He thought to himself, 'If Duan Ling Tian survives, Vice Leader is going to have a tough time in the future. It's only a matter of time before a heaven-defying prodigy like Duan Ling Tian grows extremely strong... Once he grows strong enough, he'll certainly seek revenge from Vice Leader. At that time, who knows if he'll annihilate the entire congregation as well? I have to think of a plan to save myself if that happens...'
...
Lu Tian Feng, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, shared rather similar thoughts as the disciple of the congregation as well.
His expression was dark as he thought to himself, 'I hope Duan Ling Tian died in the Trial of Gods. If he survives and becomes an intermediate Emperor of Gods, I'll have to be extra cautious going forward...'
Although Duan Ling Tian was still like a mere ant that he could crush with a finger, there was nothing he could do to Duan Ling Tian as long as Duan Ling Tian stayed in the Myriad Laws Academy.
...
Somewhere in the Myriad Laws Academy.
An old man and a young man were playing chess in a spacious courtyard.
The old man made his move before he asked with a smile, "They should be coming out soon, right? Aren't you going to wait for them there?"
"What's the rush? We've been waiting for three years anyway. All that matters is that they're safe and sound," the young man replied with a faint smile.
"You're really wise," the old man said. Then, his eyes gleamed as he said, "I wonder how much progress that girl and that lad made in the Trial of Gods. They'll bring great glory to the Inner Palace faction if they manage to break through there."
The old man was Su Bi Lie, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, and the young man was Yang Yu Chen, the third member of the Inner Palace faction.
Yang Yu Chen smiled. "I'm sure they won't disappoint you."
The old man nodded. Then, as though he had just thought of something, he asked, "Is there any news from your Eldest Senior Sister?"
"No," Yang Yu Chen said as a rare solemn expression appeared on his face, "It's about time for her to return... Perhaps, something unexpected happened in the Outer Boundary and delayed her return..."
"The Outer Boundary..." the old man said with a sigh, "It's about time for me to report for duty as well. I wonder if I'll be able to return safely. Boy, can you let me leave with peace of mind and agree to take over the position of Academy Master?"
At the end of his words, the old man stared at Yang Yu Chen with eyes glittering with hope.
"Academy Master," Yang Yu Chen said seriously, "I really have no intentions of becoming the next Academy Master. In fact, after my Fourth Junior Sister becomes a Supreme God, I'm prepared to let her be in charge of the Inner Palace faction. Eldest Senior Sister is in the Outer Boundary, and Second Senior Brother is on the Realm Battlefield. I really don't want to waste my time in the academy anymore. There are 100 years left before the Realm Battlefield closes. I want to enter the battlefield to see if I'll be able to find fortuitous encounters to raise my cultivation base..."
Previously, Yang Yu Chen had never given Su Bi Lie a reason for his refusal, but now, he spoke very honestly about his intentions.
Su Bi Lie's eyes widened slightly as he said, "Are you saying that if your Fourth Senior Sister is a Supreme God when she comes out of the Trial Gods, you'll leave the academy?"
Yang Yu Chen nodded. "Yes. Many people don't know the reason for the Realm of Battlefield's existence, but you and I both know the reason. I don't want to waste the 100 years I have left, and I can't wait another 9,000 years to go to the Outer Boundary."
Su Bi Lie sighed. "I really don't understand the thoughts of you prodigies. Brat, you should've explained this to me earlier. I wouldn't have forced you then."
Yang Yu Chen shook his head and said, "It was not convenient for me to say anything previously. In any case, according to the Inner Palace faction's rules, I can't leave until another Supreme God takes over. Otherwise, Eldest Senior Sister will definitely punish me when she returns."
...
At the portal that was connected to the Trial of Gods in the Myriad Laws Academy At the same time.
At this moment, the students who entered the Trial of Gods began to appear one after another.
"It's Zhang Tian Jiao, the proud prodigy from the Rainbow Phoenix Pavilion!"
"That's Murong Hai Tang from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation!"
"There's the Stride Basic Divine Sect's Yuan Pu!"
Many of those from the same forces began to ask their fellow members who just left the Trial of Gods if they had made a breakthrough through Voice Transmissions so they could report back to their respective forces. Without any prompts, some of those who left the Trial of Gods might not report their progress for reasons of their own.
At this moment...
"Duan Ling Tian is out!"
"His senior sister, Lang Chun Yuan, is out as well!"
In just a moment, the crowd's attention shifted to the young man and young girl who appeared. All of them could sense the tremendous change in the duo's auras.
"They feel different from before..."
"I agree, but I can't say exactly what's different..."
"It's their auras!"
At this time, Meng Yun Shan, the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy who was guarding the Transportation Formation, looked at Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan before his expression changed slightly. He sighed before he turned and cupped his fists slightly at Lang Chun Yuan and said, "The members of the Inner Palace faction are all brilliant talents. Congratulations on becoming a Supreme God."
Now that Lang Chun Yuan was a Supreme God, she was now officially a powerhouse in the Profound Energy Land. In the Profound Energy Land, only Supreme Gods were acknowledged. Those below the realm of Supreme Gods were like ants to the Supreme Gods.
As soon as Meng Yun Shan finished speaking, silence descended on the place immediately as they instinctively turned to look at Lang Chun Yuan with blank expressions. When they recovered their senses, they gasped.
"Lang Chun Yuan has become a Supreme God?!"
"Heavens! A Supreme God below the age of 10,000?! She's even more monstrous than Vice Academy Master Yang Yu Chen!"
