One day later, outside the gate of the passageway.
Anna, Death, Losia... all the high-ranking officials of Holy Spirit City have gathered here.
These powerful beings, who would make an entire pantheon take their battles seriously, all wore bitter expressions at this moment.
"What are the six main applications of Space Folding in advanced enchantments?"
What is the inscription formula for the basic necromancy spell 'Summon Dead'?
What is the full name of the divine magic conjecture generated by Laplace?
“...”
"You are all gods who have existed for countless ages, surely you can answer even a single question!"
Jiang Yan read out the questions one by one from the test paper, looking at everyone with some anticipation.
"Anna... the time has come to prove that Heaven is better than the Land of the Dead!"
If it were a different situation, these words might have enabled several angels to perform beyond their level, and even kill an Abyss Lord.
Unfortunately, it turns out that even a god in a state of extreme excitement cannot solve a problem beyond their comprehension.
"It's a pity. If Her Majesty Tinas were here, these questions would be a piece of cake." In her unwillingness, Flora did not forget to make her boss's presence known again.
The three angels bowed their heads, unconsciously playing with the feathers on their wings, looking annoyed.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan stopped making things difficult for them and instead sent them a copy of the research materials, comforting them:
"It's okay, study hard, there will be other opportunities to prove yourself next time."
“Yes, Holy Lord. We will certainly not let you down next time.” The three angels breathed a sigh of relief and replied happily.
I began to study the information that was coming from my mind.
Seeing how serious they were, Jiang Yan nodded to himself.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. With this stimulus, the Angel Legion will likely be even more motivated to formally begin their studies.
His gaze shifted to the higher-ups of the underworld.
Hina... well, she's good at taking sneak attacks, but she's obviously not someone you can count on for this kind of high-level situation.
Assar was a prince who received a high level of education; perhaps...
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I majored in politics and military science in my previous life, and the questions on this subject are completely beyond my knowledge." Asar said apologetically, looking into Jiang Yan's eyes.
Well, it seems I can't rely on any of these subordinates.
Jiang Yan looked around for a moment, vaguely feeling that something was missing.
However, I didn't think about it too much; the most important thing right now was to deal with the exam papers on the gate.
A look of pain flashed across his face as a sacred book, shimmering with a mysterious aura, appeared in his hand.
Genesis.
Oh... I should say it's a pay-to-win book; as long as you have money, any problem can be solved.
"I want to know the answers to this test paper."
The Book of Genesis quickly responded, and a line of small characters appeared: "Benefit, 10 million Soul Crystals."
"So cheap?"
Jiang Yan was overjoyed and immediately opened the Divine Kingdom, waving his hand to take a piece of Soul Crystal and throw it into the book.
That was a sum of 10 billion in pocket money that I had specially exchanged when I traded with the First Chamber of Commerce.
Suddenly, a line of text appeared.
Jiang Yan used his divine sense to copy the content onto the exam paper.
"Next question."
"Thank you, 10 million Soul Crystals."
"Didn't we already give it to them?" A bad feeling flashed through Jiang Yan's mind.
"It's 10 million per question."
A line of text appeared again in the Book of Genesis: "Young master, remember that knowledge is priceless."
Jiang Yan expressionlessly took out a storage bar that he had just plundered from the bookshelf from the Divine Kingdom and slapped it onto the face of the Genesis Book.
That was a compilation of the third Undead Emperor's research on artifact spirits, including "From Artificial Intelligence to the Era of Intelligent Machines", "How to Humanely Destroy Unsatisfactory Artifact Spirits", and "A Feasibility Study on Replacing Artifact Spirits with AI".
Think carefully before you speak.
The light of the Book of Genesis paused, quickly erasing the previous text and displaying it again:
"Your Holiness, if you are willing to pay for all the questions in one lump sum, I can give you the maximum discount allowed by the laws of fair trade."
"How many?"
"Only 15... no, 1 billion soul crystals are needed."
"That's more like it."
Jiang Yan made a mental estimate: with a total of 300 questions, 1 billion would be roughly a 30% discount, which should be the limit allowed by the rules.
He immediately opened his divine kingdom and, with a heavy heart, took a large piece of soul crystal and put it in.
Suddenly, multiple images appeared above the Book of Genesis, and countless answers emerged.
Jiang Yan used his divine sense to copy and fill in the test paper that appeared on the gate.
"submit."
A moment later, as the voice announced "Test passed," the door slowly opened.
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the money wasn't wasted.
He stepped inside, and after a slight spatial ripple, a simple space came into view.
Looking up, I could only see two things.
A continuously burning dark flame, and a silver metal block that is about 80% similar to the recording stone.
The former is precisely the element that attracts high-level undead with the right eye magic.
The latter, however, seems to have sealed away a thought.
Jiang Yan subconsciously grasped the silver metal block in his hand, preparing to probe it with his divine sense, when he suddenly remembered his encounter in the laboratory.
He immediately stopped what he was doing and sent a telepathic message to the people waiting outside the door.
"Take everything you can from the entire ruins, don't leave anything behind. Once you're done, wait outside the ruins."
After giving the instructions, Jiang Yan casually removed the main gate of the passage and placed it into the divine kingdom.
His gaze then shifted to the black flame beside him, from which countless fine lines of law extended to maintain the operation of the entire world, containing the complete laws of the undead.
With a thought, Jiang Yan released the suppression on his right eye.
Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from his right eye, and a deep black light was projected onto the flames, continuously drawing power from them.
Perhaps sensing the power of the divine position, the black flames offered no resistance and instead actively channeled their power into Jiang Yan.
[Ancient Netherworld fragments detected, absorption progress 30%...50%...80%...]
As Jiang Yan absorbed more power, the light in his eyes grew even brighter.
The left eye is fiery and vast, the right eye is cold and lifeless.
As the two intertwined, a unique rhythm of law, never before seen in any realm, permeated the air.
Two days later, the last wisp of heat from the black flames was absorbed, and the power contained in his eyes finally reached a perfect balance.
The notification from all realms sounded at the opportune moment.
[Absorption complete. You have activated the divine abilities: Death and Reincarnation.]
[Your advancement quest is complete. You have obtained the permission to advance to a mid-level god and the blueprint for the construction of your divine kingdom.]
Jiang Yan grasped the two items, the light in his eyes slowly fading.
In an instant, he seemed to be able to clearly sense the calls from all walks of life.
Concerns from the real world...
A tribute from the newbie continent...
Resentment from the sixth universe...
Those who recite his true name cannot escape the influence of his name.
...
Sorry, I'm having terrible writer's block and just can't write anymore. I owe you a chapter, I'll make it up during the holidays.
