"The limit of effort and talent is the sanctuary. The legendary realm of magic has nothing to do with how much time you spend, how much talent you have, or how much inspiration you have. There is only one reason why you can enter the legendary realm - you are a legend."

In Rose Manor in the Kingdom of Stars, magicians sat in a row and listened to the lecture of the demigod.

"If you can advance to Legendary level just by time and talent, then all angels and gods will surely upgrade themselves to Legendary level with all spells." Wei Xi stood in front of the whiteboard in a maid's skirt, writing on the blackboard and said, "In fact, delving into other spells is a very low cost-effective choice. Even in a superior environment with plenty of spell spirits, a demigod needs to study hard for twenty years to upgrade an unfamiliar spell to the Holy Realm."

"But this is impossible." The demon maid said seriously, "No demigod would waste so much time on non-major techniques. Unless they are completely giving up and waiting to die, a demigod must spend at least 30% of their time studying their main techniques."

"Why?" Curious Ash asked, "You're already a demigod, can't you enjoy yourself?"

"Because the fifth floor of the virtual world is very, very dangerous." Wei Xi took out a mobile phone and said, "I recently played a mobile game, and there is a concept in it that is very suitable for the fifth floor of the virtual world - "version update."

"Just like we magicians can only go up and not back, the same is true for the Void Realm. We always move forward and never go back. Generally speaking, the level of the Void Realm keeps spiraling upward. For example, the Ocean of Knowledge ten thousand years ago was actually much weaker than it is now."

"But the impact of this kind of "version update" is seriously delayed in the lower four layers. For example, when a new magic school is created, it takes one or two hundred years for it to spread in the lower four layers and become known through virtual creatures/special mechanisms/magician projections."

"However, in the fifth level of the virtual world, the 'version update' is shortened to," Vichy held up three fingers, "300 days."

"Unlike creatures in the virtual world, every time a version is updated, all demigod magicians will face challenges. If you cannot maintain a relatively leading position in your main magic, serious injury or even death is your fate."

"However, as long as you can be half a step ahead of the virtual realm in one field within 300 days - even if it is an extremely niche field - you will most likely be able to survive the challenge safely."

Harvey asked, "Is the Lord God also so busy?"

"It's different. The Lord God can avoid challenges by hiding in heaven. That's why some demigods would join the Lord God." Wei Xi smiled and said, "By the way, I used to avoid challenges by hiding in heaven in my dreams."

"Moreover, the Lord God can create golden apples that monopolize knowledge. Each golden apple represents the Lord God's lead over the Void Realm. Even if there is no Heaven, challenges are not a problem for the Lord God."

The maid pointed at herself and said, "If I return to the fifth level of the Void Realm now, I will basically be dead. Not to mention leading the Void Realm, I haven't even caught up with the new version of soul magic and prophecy magic, nor am I ahead of the innovations of the Void Realm."

"Under this kind of survival pressure, a demigod can't even study his main technique, let alone develop other techniques."

Ash objected, "But you have many legendary-level spells."

Vichy looked at Ash deeply, "You know my body very well, Master."

"Of course." Rose put the afternoon tea on the coffee table and said casually, "I have compiled your physical data and physiological habits into a report and put it on his desk."

Ash was stunned: "That blue folder? I haven't..."

"So the photos you took of me in the shower two days ago were used in the report?" Vichy said, "I thought you were interested in me."

Ash: "...I will never look at that folder in my life."

Vichy spread his hands towards Rose: "This master is so difficult to serve."

"You'll get used to it." Rose walked behind Ash and stretched out her hand to press along the area between Ash's shoulder blade and acromion. Ash shuddered all over and couldn't help looking at the necromancer next to him: "Harvey, Rose's technique is as good as your necromancy massage!!"

"impossible."

"If you press it for me, I can judge it again..."

"I don't even have time to give a soft body massage to a new corpse, how can it be your turn?" Harvey rolled his eyes at him. "You will have a say in my eyes only when you become a corpse."

"I can stay still!"

Vichy tilted his head: "I am also a necromancer, and I am also good at deconstructing the human body. Why doesn't the master ask me for a massage?"

Ash glanced at the maid, "Rationally, I refuse to have physical contact with you."

"What about emotionally?"

"Emotionally, when you touched me, I felt like a fat latina waiting to be slaughtered. Although I would feel like a corpse if Harvey touched me, it's better than a fat latina."

"Master, you are too prejudiced against me." The pink-haired maid threw a coquettish glance at Ash. "Master, you know what magic I am proficient in, but you don't know that I belong to you from soul to body..."

"Okay, okay, we're all going to vomit if we continue," Ash said, "Why do you have so many legendary spells?"

"Because I am a legend of two lives." Wei Xi gave the answer directly: "There are two hard conditions to achieve legendary magic. First, you have to build a magic spirit system with the magic. For example, if you want to achieve legendary swordsmanship, your magic spirit system must be based on swordsmanship."

“Second, you have to experience legendary events with huge impact.”

Noticing the confusion in the eyes of his juniors, Wei Xi thought for a moment and said, "It's just like an exam. The reason I have so many legendary spells is because I took many exams."

Igula asked, "Then a life-and-death fight is not possible?"

“It’s OK if the impact is huge.”

"Why does the impact of the event relate to the advancement of magic?"

The maid sighed and looked at Ash pitifully: "Master, can we go to the soundproof room to play? Lectures are so tiring. These are all self-evident common sense..."

"Hurry up, I don't understand either." Ash said mercilessly.

"Let me think about it. I became a demigod in my first life. If I count carefully, it was thousands of years ago. I have forgotten many of the misunderstandings I encountered when growing up..." Vichy reached out and took the cake that Ash had just taken a bite of. Under Ash's disgusted gaze, he ate while thinking, "...Yeah, that's right, it should be like this."

"Perhaps you have misunderstood the first three realms. The realm of a technique does not refer to "how well you have mastered the technique", but rather "what level you have achieved through the technique". "

The magicians were stunned.

The realm of magic does not refer to the degree of mastery of knowledge, but the level of the magician himself?

"For example, if you are very proficient in a silver miracle, and even a legendary magician cannot use it better than you, then in terms of using this miracle, are you a silver or a legendary magician?"

Seeing that everyone seemed to have realized something, Wei Xi continued, "You entered the Silver Realm through the resonance of knowledge and the Void Realm, thus opening the Void Realm passage to the Sea of ​​Knowledge. So, what is recognized by the Void Realm, the knowledge you possess, or yourself?"

Igula replied: "It is the combination of me and knowledge."

"So, if you want to achieve legend, you essentially want the virtual world to recognize that "your combination with knowledge" has reached the legendary level." Wei Xi said, "Do you understand? You want the virtual world to see your achievements and recognize your level! But to show your achievements, you have to take the exam and get a score that satisfies the virtual world!"

"You all went through many tests before, from zero to silver, to gold, and then to the Holy Domain. To describe it in terms of the number of people, from zero to silver, you had to pass a test with one hundred ordinary people competing; from silver to gold, you had to pass a test with one hundred silver magicians competing; and the same goes for gold to the Holy Domain."

"It's just that the first three exams are very common in both the real world and the virtual world. You will encounter them as your strength increases. However, to be promoted to a legend in the Holy Domain is equivalent to passing an exam in which a hundred Holy Domain magicians compete. But whether in the past or now, events of this level do not happen often."

"Events that can involve a hundred Saints are basically epic events that can change the situation drastically. Those who pass through them are all legends, so this realm is called "Legendary."

After hearing this, the magicians finally understood.

They have always believed that the realm of magic is automatically upgraded, that is, no matter how much knowledge they have mastered, once they exceed it, they will be recognized as a miracle by the virtual realm.

But in fact, the virtual realm has been an examination system from beginning to end. Even if they really master knowledge beyond their current level, they must take the legendary level examination and prove to the virtual realm that they are already legends in order to be promoted!

Suddenly, Ash remembered something, looked at Vichy and said a term: "The Road of Origin?"

Wei Xi smiled and nodded: "The previous path of origin can indeed allow magicians to advance in both magic power and realm. But the current path of origin is no longer valid. If the test paper does not have enough questions, the virtual realm will have to let you pass, but it will not recognize your qualifications."

In this world, where is the best place for magicians to take exams?

There is only the virtual realm, nothing else!

Magicians from all over the world will gather in the Void Realm. A country may not have a hundred Saints, but there are more than a thousand Saints in the Faraway Void Realm!

According to the records in the "Horse Light Manual", "Time Manual" and "Ghost Manual", the Origin Path was well known and fiercely contested in the past, and naturally met the examination requirements. Therefore, in the distant past, taking the Origin Path might have been the most orthodox and successful way for magicians to advance!

However, as time went by, the Road of Origin gradually became dilapidated and no longer served the purpose of examination. Even this "Glorious Avenue" favored by demigods became a "smuggling path" in the eyes of magicians.

"So," Igula asked, "Do magicians need to take an exam to enter the realm of God?"

"Wrong." Weishi corrected, "You need to take an exam to get the Void Realm to recognize that you have entered the realm of God. In fact, there must be legendary magicians who have the magic realm of demigod level, but they will not be recognized by the Void Realm before the exam."

Igula was a little confused: "But even the legendary exam is so rare, wouldn't the exam to enter the realm of God be rare in a hundred years?"

"No." Weishi shook his head: "Compared to the legendary exams that need to be actively sought out, the demigod exams are within easy reach. As long as the legendary magicians find the exam method, they can take the exam immediately."

"Moreover," the maid looked at Ash, "the demigod exam is also the origin path from Ruby Mountain to the fifth level of the Void Realm."

"As long as you pass the exam, not only will you be recognized by the Void Realm as having the Demigod Realm, but you will also be able to step into the realm of God and enter the fifth level of the Void Realm."

Everyone was stunned. Ash swallowed and asked, "What is the content of the demigod exam?"

Under the expectant or nervous gazes of the magicians, Vichy smiled brilliantly:

"I have no idea."
