``` [You had experienced this same inexplicable fluctuation during your previous simulation.]
[It was probably a method specifically used to test aptitude and talents.]
["Hmm?"]
[You waited a while and discovered that the inexplicable fluctuation kept surging.]
[It did not end as quickly as it had in your previous simulation.]
[You looked at the Armored Guardian God.]
[You discovered that the red light in his eyes kept flickering as he scrutinized you.]
[You understood perfectly well why.]
[Your age and cultivation had probably been detected.]
[Now, you wanted to know.]
[By the principles the Armored Guardian God used to test aptitude, what level would yours fall into?]
[Could you receive a Golden Core Pill as a reward?]
[Time passed.]
[Several dozen breaths went by.]
[The red light in the Armored Guardian God's eyes finally faded.]
[That inexplicable fluctuation also swiftly dissipated.]
[The Armored Guardian God looked at you and spoke slowly, his tone actually changing slightly.]
["Spell cultivator aptitude test complete-"]
["Race: Human Race."]
["Age: seventeen."]
["Cultivation: second-tier perfection."]
["Condition: abundant potential, surging essence."]
["Assessment: top-tier aptitude, suspected innate talent."]
["Test result: passed."]
[At these words, your expression turned thoughtful.]
[In the present era, top-tier aptitude undoubtedly referred to talents such as a heavenly spiritual root, treasure body, or Dao body.]
[But the world within Secluded Mountain originated in ancient times, so the top-tier aptitude the puppet guardian god spoke of naturally meant top-tier aptitude by ancient standards.]
[In ancient times, spiritual energy and resources were plentiful. Even a heavenly spiritual root did not qualify as top-tier aptitude.]
[Some cultivators, uniquely favored by heaven, possessed several talents, combining a heavenly spiritual root, treasure body, and Dao body in one.]
[Those were the true favored children of heaven.]
[Their top-tier aptitude gave them the prospect of becoming Nascent Soul True Lords.]
