"There are indeed a few promising talents, and I have been focusing on cultivating them. Their current cultivation talent can be considered genius-level."

Gu Tianhe pondered.

"Since that's the case, I happen to have the idea of ​​taking on disciples again. I'll call them over for a look and choose one of them as my new disciple."

Luo Chen slammed his fist on the table.

"Alright, I'll call them over right away."

Gu Tianhe didn't think much of it.

Soon, the five new generation gods were brought into the temple.

Luo Chen sat upright above, observing the little ones.

After waiting for quite a while, the system did not give any notification sound.

It seems that none of these five are destined for greatness.

"That's true. According to the usual plot, the protagonist is usually less talented in the early stages, and when choosing from among the prodigies, he is unlikely to encounter the chosen one."

Luo Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

The top geniuses are actually not much worse than the protagonists; what they lack is the world's favor and luck.

I opened the apprentice recruitment interface and used the system to scan the apprentices.

Name: Lin Xiao

[Realm: Ninth-Level God]

[Unawakened Authority: Power]

Name: Xiao Tian

[Realm: Ninth-Level God]

[Unawakened Authority: Fire]

Name: Su Jiu'er

[Level Nine God]

[Unawakened Authority: Space, Time]

[Special Origin: A Reverser, whose memories have not yet been awakened due to the excessive price paid.]

[Future Achievement: Guardian of the Other Shore]

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen's eyes lit up. Good heavens, he's so awesome and he's still the chosen one.

Reversers... does that mean smuggling timelines? Based on the information I currently have, the higher the world level, the greater the cost of crossing timelines.

Given that this guy possesses the authority over time and space, something extraordinary must have happened in the future for him to arrive in the present with such immense power.

So, an alternative form of rebirth...?

Then I looked at the information of the other two people, and their power was incomparable to that of Su Jiu'er.

In this way, the goal is clear.

"Your name is Su Jiu'er, right?"

Luo Chen said with a smile.

"Yes...yes, sir."

Su Jiu'er said timidly.

She was born just five years ago. She heard that there was a very powerful Eternal God Realm nearby, which was ten thousand times larger than other Eternal God Realms, and its future achievements were limitless.

As a new generation of deity, she immediately took a liking to this place.

As she had expected, the academy offered her excellent treatment, and she also displayed remarkable talent.

The Kingdom of God, when it was first established, had a diameter of one million kilometers and contained countless beings. In the early stages, there was no need to worry about the believers.

She also received preferential treatment in terms of cultivation resources, but Gu Tianhe told her that the current Eternal God was in seclusion, and better treatment would have to wait until the God came out of seclusion.

"I intend to take you as my disciple, are you willing?"

Luo Chen came to Su Jiu'er.

He coveted the power over time and space!

Say yes already!

"Huh? Oh, okay! Yes, yes!"

Su Jiu'er never expected that such a thing would happen to her.

I thought she was just there to make up the numbers, since her cultivation talent was weaker than the other four.

The other four were also surprised that Su Jiu'er, the one with the least talent among them, was chosen.

He couldn't help but feel resentful, but he dared not say anything.

"Alright, alright, from now on you will be my second disciple. But don't be too discouraged, you lot. Now that you've joined my Immortal God Domain, I will naturally treat you well."

Old Gu, from now on, whenever they need resources, try your best to provide them.

Luo Chen said.

"Okay, I understand. You lot, hurry up and thank the master."

Gu Tianhe addressed the group.

"Thank you, sir."

Having shaken off their previous dissatisfaction, the four expressed their heartfelt gratitude.

Luo Chen chuckled and dismissed the crowd.

As the one in power, he can no longer view things from a single perspective. Although the others do not have as much power as Su Jiu'er, they are still outstanding talents, so he would not be foolish enough to ignore them.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the apprentice-recruiting task!]

[Reward Authority: Space, Time]

Upon hearing the system notification, Luo Chen was secretly delighted.

"Master...Master, is there anything you need Jiu'er to do?"

Su Jiu'er said timidly.

She speaks in a soft, gentle voice; I guess that's just her natural personality.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen got down to business, explaining that his purpose in taking on disciples was to enhance his control over power.

"Jiu'er is already a ninth-level deity, and should be about to break through to awaken the authority of a divine official. According to my deduction, you should awaken the authority of space and time."

Luo Chen calculated with his fingers in a very professional manner.

"This... Master, you can even calculate this?"

Su Jiu'er was very surprised, as she had never heard of such a method.

Her wide, wine-red eyes were quite beautiful.

"Of course, it's just an application of the power of time."

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

This is false. The power has only just been obtained. To achieve this level, one must at least have a considerable grasp of power.

To make what he says more believable.

Luo Chen even used his powers on Su Jiu'er, letting her experience the feeling of time slowing down.

However, this move seemed to resonate with Su Jiu'er's body.

"Huh? This works?"

Seeing Su Jiu'er fall into a state of enlightenment, Luo Chen expressed his incomprehension, thinking, "Is she cheating?"

How can someone resonate with authority when they haven't even awakened their own?

[Ding! Host, don't worry. The reason for the resonance is simply that Su Jiu'er still has residual spacetime power.]

The host's powers resonated with this residual power, allowing them to enter a state of enlightenment.

Ye Yu explained.

"Uh, how could she comprehend anything if she didn't even have the authority?"

Luo Chen felt his eyes had been opened.

[They just haven't realized it yet, that doesn't mean they don't have it.]

Ye Yu pursed his lips, thinking that explaining was too much trouble.

"..."

Okay, Luo Chen admits he was hit hard.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Su Jiu'er finally emerged from her state of enlightenment.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have increased Su Jiu'er's understanding of time by 0.01%, triggering a ten-thousand-fold reward for mentoring!]

[Congratulations, host, you have achieved 100% comprehension of the Time Authority.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully mastered the power of time, triggering a ten-thousand-fold amplification, and your control over power has entered the path of kingship!]

Luo Chen was dumbfounded. He'd already become the king of the Time Dao?!

"Master, Jiu'er feels that her understanding of time has increased a lot."

Su Jiu'er spoke up.

"Haha, not bad, not bad. You have a strong comprehension. You are worthy of being my disciple. You are much better than your senior brother."

Luo Chen was happy not only for her, but also for himself.

This girl is truly my lucky star, unlike Lu Yun who only causes trouble.

"It's not as powerful as Master said..."

Su Jiu'er felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Come, come, with your current foundation, Jiu'er, you are good enough to break through to the level of a god. Let me give you a hand, and then I will take you to select believers."

Luo Chen took out a large sum of divine resources and stuffed it into Su Jiu'er's hands.

"Huh? Master, isn't this too much?"

Su Jiu'er was startled by the amount of divine source in her hand.

A full million divine sources! I am just a lowly ninth-level god, how could I possibly deserve so much?

"Not much, not much. Your senior brother also has some. Consider it a gift from Master to you when you become a disciple."

Luo Chen became more and more satisfied with this. Wasn't it better than Lu Yunxiang?

Look, this is my good disciple.

Lu Yun: Double standards are shameful!!!
