Week 1: Kunlun Examination Center (I)
"Based on my explanation of the concepts of mimicry and summoning gods, I firmly believe that everyone can successfully summon them." Chen Chen glanced at Lin Bai indifferently, and there seemed to be some hint in his eyes.
The moment Lin Bai's eyes met his, a strong power surged involuntarily in his heart.
Time was running out. Chen Chen looked around and said slowly, "In this afternoon's summoning class, I will formally teach you how to summon. Go back and prepare. This concludes today's mythology class."
The classmates were discussing in low voices. Li Dong turned to Lin Bai with a hint of curiosity. "I heard that your awakening time actually broke the record. It is said that the human race has always awakened very quickly, but they have always been unable to successfully summon the gods."
He paused, then looked at Lin Bai with a determined gaze. "However, Mr. Chen is the most authoritative mythology researcher in the Federation. What he said must be correct. If you can find Earth's mythology, with your abilities, you might be able to enter a military academy in the future."
Lin Bai's heart moved, and he thought to himself: What a coincidence, I happen to be very familiar with mythology.

In the afternoon, Teacher Chen Chen walked into the classroom with a serious expression. He said, "The first step in summoning a god is to know the god's title."
"For example, my ancestors came from the planet Pal, and our only god is called Gabaka, which means the mother of life." Chen Chen chanted in a low voice like he did in the morning, and then summoned the figure sitting cross-legged.
"Next, just like I did just now, use the language of the ancestral star to recite a sentence that can reflect the true power of the god. The content must be true and genuine. Remember, only the power you recite can be manifested on the summoned god." Chen Chen instructed carefully.
"The steps are very simple, but whether you can get out depends on your divine power and affinity with the gods. Don't worry, give it a try, kids."
After Chen Chen finished speaking, Lin Bai fell into a dilemma.
She pondered in her mind which god to summon, fearing that if she summoned a god who was too powerful, her own divine power might not be enough to cope.
"Knock knock"
Lin Bai was frightened for a moment. She looked up and saw that Chen Chen had actually walked to her table and stretched out his hand towards her.
"Teacher..." Lin Bai was about to say hello.
Chen Chen interrupted her: "Add my computer, I have some information to send to you."
"Oh, okay, teacher." Lin Bai quickly took out the light computer and put it on with Chen Chen.
Chen Chen casually said, "This is what I heard from others. It may come from the mythology of Earth. You can give it a try." After that, he turned and left.
Lin Bai opened the information sent by Chen Chen and carefully read it. She took a look and found that there was indeed some credible content. It seemed that it was very feasible to find the reason for the disappearance of the myth.
She couldn't help but look back at Chen Chen's departing back, then lowered her head, her eyes falling on the two words in the information - "Nuwa", even though the abilities and appearance behind them were all wrong.
Lin Bai thought for a moment and decided to choose Nuwa, even though she was very powerful.
Lin Bai's palm revealed the Earth, and in his mind, he evoked the image of Nuwa. He murmured softly, "Nuwa, holding a rope in her left hand and an axe in her right, created humans from the earth, patched the sky with stone, and had the power to move mountains and fill the sea."
Then an extremely powerful force swept through Lin Bai's meridians. Lin Bai felt that his body was full of the breath of life, and he could repair the sky and create humans with just a raise of his hand.
However, this aura only lasted for a moment, and Lin Bai found that the power had decayed to a more stable level.
She finally had time to look around and found that everyone was looking at her in shock.
Everyone's eyes fell on the god with a human head and a snake body behind Lin Bai, which was ancient and beautiful.
Thunderous applause erupted in the classroom. Chen Chen excitedly walked towards Lin Bai, his tone filled with joy: "You succeeded! You are the first person to summon an Earth God!"
He then asked again, "You don't have two mimics, right?" His tone was tentative.
Lin Bai immediately shook his head: "No, teacher."
"That's amazing!" Chen Chen's eyes flashed with excitement that was hard to conceal. "Such a strong divine power can be unleashed in the first summoning. How did you feel just now?" His eyes were full of cherishment and joy, and there was no trace of his previous cold expression.
"After I recited the words, a powerful force filled my body, and then quickly weakened to its current level." Lin Bai said truthfully.
"You have become weaker probably because you lack divine power, but your weakened power is still strong. It seems that the gods of your Earth are very powerful." Chen Chen nodded, feeling very relieved. With one more powerful summoner, there will be fewer casualties in the war with the dark beasts.

After class, all the students gathered around and congratulations were heard one after another. Everyone was curious about who the god Lin Bai summoned was.
Lin Bai himself was also very happy, and introduced to them with a smile: "I summoned the goddess Nuwa."
Li Dong asked hesitantly, "Lin Bai, did you just read the words directly?" There was a hint of confusion in her voice, "I did what the teacher said, but there was no response." She showed her palm, and what appeared in her palm was a bright yellow planet. Her ancestral star, Gudeng Star, also had only one god.
Lin Bai thought for a moment and replied gently, "When I was reciting the sutra, I imagined the image of Nuwa and her deeds in my mind, and then she appeared. You can try this."
After hearing this, Li Dong immediately started trying.
After Lin Bai listened to her long mumbling, a tall wolf-shaped god appeared behind Li Dong, with a copper head, iron legs, and a thin waist. There were fiery red flames on his head. It was the only god of Gu Dengxing - Blood Wolf.
As the summoner, Li Dong was obviously the first to know.
She looked at Lin Bai with uncontrollable excitement and gratitude in her eyes.
"Lin Bai, thank you!" Li Dong excitedly threw himself into Lin Bai's arms. The soft fur gently brushed his cheek, bringing a slightly warm temperature and a faint fragrance.
Lin Bai's eyes involuntarily fell on the big tail swaying behind her. He felt itchy in his heart and really wanted to touch it. But in the end, he didn't dare to do so. Instead, he reached out and gently rubbed her head.
Li Dong was slightly stunned, then looked up at Lin Bai with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Few people would touch the hair of a hairy species like us. Don't you think it's dirty?"
"How come?" Lin Bai smiled and stroked the fur gently, his tone gentle and serious, "Your fur is very beautiful."
She didn't notice that Li Dong's expression had quietly changed.

The news that Lin Bai summoned the Earth's gods spread instantly to every corner of the universe in this interstellar age.
Instantly, discussions about the strength of Earth's gods were overwhelming. Countless Star Citizens were abuzz with discussion, especially those with mixed human blood. Hybrids, given the choice upon awakening, typically gravitated toward the strongest mimicry. The news of Lin Bai's successful summoning of Earth's gods undoubtedly garnered unprecedented attention to the potential of Earth's mimicry.
However, at this moment, Lin Bai had no time to pay attention to the noise outside. She was nervously waiting to enter the examination room.
Lin Bai stood among the students, her palms slightly sweaty. She felt a little nervous; this was their first weekly exam, after all. Chen Chen's instructions to them still lingered in her ears: "This exam is an adventure. Inside the exam hall are hidden beasts captured by the army. Your task is to defeat them one by one until you pass. If you fail midway, your current score will count."
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. The candidates were called into the examination room one by one. When she heard her name being called out on the radio, Lin Bai walked into the examination room with a solemn expression.
Lin Bai took a deep breath and tried his best to remain calm. The candidates were called into the examination room one by one. When he heard his name being called out, Lin Bai adjusted his expression slightly and walked into the examination room solemnly.
However, the scene in the examination room stunned her. It was surrounded by mountains, and the lake was crystal clear. The lake surface was like a mirror, reflecting the endless sky. It was as if she had stepped into a fairyland. It turned out to be the legendary Yaochi of Kunlun Mountain.
The tranquility of the lake was suddenly shattered by a long howl. Lin Bai quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a half-human, half-beast monster standing by the pool. Its lips were split to its ears, revealing a pair of tiger-like fangs. A leopard tail trailed behind it, and a violent aura filled him.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Bai's eyes, and he instantly realized, how come this half-human, half-beast form, with tiger teeth and leopard tail, looks so much like the legendary Queen Mother of the West?
Before she could comprehend why the Dark Beast resembled the Queen Mother of the West, the monster before her launched a fierce attack. A strong sense of oppression instantly enveloped her.
Outside the exam room, Chen Chen and the other teachers sighed after seeing Lin Bai's image. "She had terrible luck, running into the most powerful Dark Beast in this exam room right from the start," Chen Chen said gravely, recalling the capture of the Dark Beast. "It took the combined efforts of three summoners to capture it alive."
Lin Bai didn't have time to think. Seeing the dark beast rushing towards him again, his heart moved and he whispered, "Yuan means origin. Shi means the beginning, the innate energy. Summon Yuanshi Tianzun."
As she whispered, a brilliant and dazzling figure of a god slowly appeared, with a halo shining on his head, millet beads in his hands, and wearing a fairy robe. It was Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism.
Yuanshi Tianzun's divine power instantly enveloped the surroundings, and all the aura in the field seemed to be suppressed by this divine power.
The dark beast on the opposite side roared angrily when it saw Yuanshi Tianzun appear. Thunderclouds suddenly gathered in the sky and rolled over. With another roar, thunder roared and rushed towards Lin Bai.
"Jade Purity Immortal Light!"
Lin Bai's mind moved, and she instantly unleashed her protective divine skills. Immortal light enveloped her like a dazzling barrier. The moment the thunder struck the immortal light, it violently scattered, all the lightning being deflected away by the barrier of immortal light.
One of the beams of lightning rushed straight towards the dark beast.
The roar of the dark beast became more and more frantic. It was obvious that it was trying its best to resist the incoming thunder, but it still could not escape the arrangement of fate. In the end, it was hit by the power of thunder. Its body shook, and the powerful impact almost made it lose the ability to stand.
Lin Bai sensed that Dark Beast's mentality was gradually becoming unstable, so she didn't hesitate. She whispered, "Nuwa, the power to mend the sky."
Another huge force instantly surged into Lin Bai's body, and the god with a human head and a snake body appeared behind her again.
Feeling the arrival of Nuwa's divine power, Lin Bai concentrated his divine power, waved his hands, and a five-colored divine light shot straight towards the dark beast.
The moment the beam of light hit the dark beast, it seemed as if the entire Yao Chi was shaking. The dark beast's body trembled violently, it let out a long roar, and then fell down, losing all ability to resist.
The examination room broadcast immediately sounded everywhere, and every candidate heard it.
[Congratulations to candidate Lin Bai for defeating a high-level dark beast. Your points will be increased by one.]
The teachers outside the examination room were completely stunned.
"This... what's going on with that god in front?" Chen Chen couldn't hide his surprise. "Could it be that Earth is one of the few places where polytheism exists?"
The other teachers looked at each other in shock, "This is too powerful."
"Lin Bai obviously hasn't used his skill yet. This is just a body protection skill."
"The wall guards should be replaced by this god."
"Who knows if this god has other moves? Don't be so narrow-minded."
......
Lin Bai looked at the dark beast in front of him and complained secretly that this test was too difficult. At the beginning, he faced a dark beast that was above the level of the Queen Mother of the West and a Golden Immortal.
Then walked down the mountain.
