The Assessment Begins!

After all, although the Reaching Heavens Ranking took a Creator God's combat power into account, it was ultimately only reference data. There would certainly be discrepancies in real combat, so this was effectively a supplement to the Reaching Heavens Ranking.

This battle had been incorporated into the Reaching Heavens Ranking assessment and would affect its final standings.

For a Creator God, both the Divine Kingdom's combat strength and personal combat strength were extremely important.

If a Creator God's personal strength was weak and their combat power could not be improved for a long time, then as the Divine Kingdom developed, they would sooner or later be unable to bear the immense energy brought by the Divine Kingdom and eventually explode to death.

But if their personal strength was powerful while their Divine Kingdom's strength could not improve, then their personal strength would reach its limit as well. Their potential would be exhausted.

"The God Kingdom Battle is very simple. You will dispatch Evil Spirits. Unlike the other Students, who only faced one Second-Order Evil Spirit and ten First-Order Evil Spirits."

"What you will face is one Third-Order Evil Spirit and ten Second-Order Evil Spirits!"

As Song Zhong's words fell, Students across the entire province who were watching this matter outside the big screen were utterly shocked!

"Holy shit!!! A Third-Order Evil Spirit? Ten Second-Order Evil Spirits?! How much harder is this damn assessment than the ordinary Students' one? They only had one Second-Order Evil Spirit!!!"

"What do you mean, only? Eighty percent of us would be dead for sure... What do you mean, only one Second-Order Evil Spirit!"

"Right, plenty of people can't pass that stage. Luckily, they can surrender. Otherwise, how many Creator Gods would collapse from a single assessment..."

"They are the province's top ten, after all! There should be plenty among them who can pass! At the very least, the top three definitely shouldn't have any problems!"

"That is true. Third-Order Evil Spirits are powerful, but aside from that First-Order peerless genius, the other two in our Province Ranking's top three seem to be Third Order. This should definitely be easy for them!"

"What about everyone else? Those ten Second-Order Evil Spirits alone are enough to give them a massive headache!!!"

Students throughout the province were stunned.

Evil Spirits were unlike the beings within Divine Kingdoms. Evil Spirits of the same level could crush Divine Kingdom Beings. An Evil Spirit was equivalent to a Creator God's strength, and a Creator God's strength was equivalent to the combined strength of every being in their Divine Kingdom...

But Creator Gods varied in strength, and so did Evil Spirits. If they were lucky, they would encounter weaker ones. If they were unlucky...

"How is it? Are you scared?" Zhang Bin turned and smiled at Ye Xuan beside him.

He was exceptionally handsome, carrying himself with elegant grace in every gesture. His smile possessed a charm that made people feel close to him.

"Tch!" Ye Xuan sneered. A trace of surprise appeared in his gaze as he looked at Zhang Bin. How could Zhang Bin think that?

Leaving everything else aside, the top three would naturally pass without issue. If even the top three could not make it through, then Jiang Nan Province's Students this year would be hopeless. Besides, all three of them were geniuses ranked among the Ancestral Star's top thirty.

If the three of them could not pass, then this year's Ancestral Star was basically hopeless.

"Hey, A Bin, don't worry. Don't just yap away because you're ranked one spot higher than him. For an assessment like this, wouldn't the three of us pass with our eyes closed?" the red-haired man to Ye Xuan's left said arrogantly.

His name was Gao Long. He had formerly been second on the ranking and was now third, ranked twenty-eighth on the Ancestral Star Branch Ranking.

"A Third-Order Evil Spirit? Tch~" Gao Long scoffed disdainfully.

Unlike the three here, who were relaxed and joking around, even Shui Yan, ranked fourth on the Province Ranking, had become extremely serious, let alone everyone else.

Although fourth and third differed by only one rank, there was a vast gulf between their strength and Ancestral Star rankings. The two were separated by nearly fifty places!!!

One Third-Order Evil Spirit and ten Second-Order Evil Spirits! This was no joke!

Aside from those three freaks, no one could guarantee that they would make it through!

They were all Second-Order Creator Gods. They had to deal with ten beings whose cultivation was not far below their own, while also facing a Third-Order Evil Spirit! Even if those Second-Order Evil Spirits were weak, they were still Second-Order Evil Spirits!

"Let us begin now."

As Song Zhong spoke, the hundred contestants seated in the arena closed their eyes one after another, their consciousness entering their own worlds.

Aside from the Mythical World, which could not be examined, and Gao Long's and Zhang Bin's worlds, from which no information could be seen at all, every other world was exposed before the audience.

"Holy shit, is that the legendary Chaotic World?!"

"A Waste World? Is this Rule Manifestation?! What a powerful aura!!"

As the worlds appeared, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the top three. Of the top three, only the second-ranked one's world could be seen. The other two worlds were nothing but blank white light, with nothing visible at all.

That was only because ordinary people could not see them. The Principals of the Five Great Academies and the Admissions Office Teachers had the authority to inspect them.

Within a world filled with blood-red hues.

Blood-red was the dominant tone of this world, and eeriness was its atmosphere.

Power was its defining word.

Unlike other worlds, where most living beings were harmonious, with at most conflicts between races, faiths, or nations, yet remaining harmonious overall.

In this world, every living being was locked in a mortal feud with every other.

They continuously killed and devoured one another to grow stronger!

This was a world of Raising Gu!

And this world's owner was none other than Gu God Lin Lan!

Twelfth on Jiang Nan Province's Province Ranking, the woman who had spoken up for Ye Xuan on the Forum and been viciously criticized!

A Black Light Pillar appeared abruptly, descending from some unknown place and plunging straight into the center of the world.

"Hehehe..."

A powerful, evil aura emerged. It was a Third-Order Evil Spirit...

Knight World.

"Knights who follow the guidance of light! Darkness is about to descend. We must defend Knight's Glory with our lives!!! Destroy the Evil Spirits, slay the Evil Spirits!!!"

Liu Yong stood at the peak of the world. The once-chaotic factions returned to peace with his appearance.

Though their factions differed, they shared only one faith: the supreme Knight King!!!

"For the glory of the Knight King!!! For Knight's Glory!!!"

The Paladins shouted and rose to their feet.

The Black Light Pillar descended, and figures of Evil Spirits emerged from within it.

"Slay the Evil Spirits!!! Sweep away the darkness!!!"

Chaotic World.

Ye Xuan sat in Void Land, calmly looking down into the Chaos below.

He was not worried in the slightest about what was about to happen.

If his guess was correct, those Evil Spirits would be unable to move even a single step within the Chaos due to the issue of their foundations and origins...

"Why is he so calm?"

"Exactly! Every other world is tense and thrilling, so why isn't he panicking at all? He even sat down to drink a beverage?!!"

Just as the onlookers were puzzled.

A Black Light Pillar crossed endless time and space and descended within the Chaotic World.
