Inside the Supreme Divine Palace, several ministers of education kept their eyes fixed on the ruined royal court site swallowed by the snowy plains.
The cold wind howled, and snowflakes swirled in the air.
Their thoughts all drifted toward the Chinese Pantheon’s goddess Nuwa.
“Wait, do you still remember her title?”
“Empress Wa…”
“teza…”
“Goddess of Mending the Heavens…”
An Muyu pondered aloud, “Nuwa granted Su Fu the ability to communicate with the royal court. Now it seems this aligns perfectly with the Authority of Mother Earth.”
“The royal court protects her; the avalanche avoids her. This is clearly the Mother Earth’s Authority—control over all the land, including mountains, structures, and possibly extending to all that is connected to the earth itself.”
Xia Linyuan’s expression turned grave, filled with reverence, “When it comes to Mother Earth… that means Nuwa’s divine status must be quite high.”
He continued, “The most well-known Mother Earth is Gaia from the Greek Pantheon. She is a creator god in Greek mythology, overseeing the earth’s fertility, nurturing, and the origin of life. She directly birthed many gods and the Titans. She is the progenitor of gods, her status nearly at the pinnacle of the Divine Pantheon.”
“The birth of the Olympian gods is intricately linked to her, which is why she is called the ‘Mother goddess’. If Nuwa of the Chinese Pantheon truly possesses a status comparable to Gaia, then… No wonder she can so easily control the entire royal court and the frozen plains,” Xuanyuan Po muttered, “What’s even more terrifying is what this implies—”
“So, are we saying… the Chinese Pantheon has produced a top-tier god?”
For so many years, the Chinese Pantheon was always considered the weakest, yet today, a Chinese deity possibly on par with Gaia has shown Her power.
Everyone suddenly recalled the divine manifestation of Nuwa that appeared when Su Fu summoned the goddess—Her face radiated supreme compassion and love for humanity.
It really… seemed like a true Mother goddess!
“Wait,” Xuanyuan Po suddenly frowned, “If She truly is such a high-ranking god, how could She be summoned so easily?”
This question instantly sobered everyone.
Right, the Starsea College Entrance Exam is only a B-rank exam, how could it summon a creation-level deity?
An Muyu’s expression turned subtle, “But that’s not necessarily so… Chinese gods have never really followed our existing summoning rules.”
She added cautiously, “Especially when it comes to Su Fu.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The Chinese Pantheon’s relationship with humans—particularly with Su Fu—has always been… special.
Xia Linyuan couldn’t help but joke, “That’s the Mother Earth herself, yet She favors a B-rank examinee? In other pantheons, that would be absurd, like dreaming wide awake. But here, it’s right in front of us. What can I say? I’m a little jealous. Why does the Chinese Pantheon only have eyes for Su Fu?”
“Can’t there be exceptions?”
Xuanyuan Po suddenly spoke up, “Between Su Fu and Gaia’s divine follower in the Third Star Ring, who do you think is stronger?”
By now, everyone had no doubt that Su Fu would pass the Fourth Star Ring exam and qualify for the Third Star Ring’s National College Entrance Examination.
An Muyu quietly said, “If you compare her to Third Star Ring examinees, in a way, she’s already won.”
Everyone thought to themselves, who wouldn’t agree?
Gaia’s divine follower in the Third Star Ring is famously called ‘Daughter of the Earth,’ meaning she enjoys the Mother Earth’s exclusive favor.
Before this, no one would compare Su Fu to Her because the gap was simply too vast.
“Interesting…” Xia Linyuan stroked his chin, a spark of interest in his eyes, “Both are Mother Earth’s divine followers, it’s hard to say which is stronger.”
An Muyu offered a different angle: “However, that divine follower has worshiped Gaia for a long time, as her sole main god. Such singular devotion naturally brings stronger divine attention and favor. In contrast, Su Fu’s faith in the Chinese Pantheon is quite recent. In terms of tenure, she’s shallow.”
But she shifted her tone, unwilling to speak too definitively, “Still, I’m curious about the outcome if the two ever faced each other.”
Xuanyuan Po’s analysis leaned toward divine rank.
“Historically, Gaia is the mother of all gods in Greek mythology. She created the gods of sky, sea, and mountains, gave birth to the twelve Titans, and even the Olympian gods descend from her. She is one of the oldest, most primal forces in the Greek Pantheon, an overwhelmingly powerful main god.”
“So…” He gazed thoughtfully at Su Fu on the screen, “Is Nuwa, the Chinese Mother Earth, also the origin of Chinese gods?”
“If so, who are Her ‘children’? Can they compare to the Titans or the Olympians?”
Everyone’s curiosity peaked.
If Nuwa truly is a Mother goddess like Gaia, what kind of gods would She have created or nurtured?
At this, Kong Ying muttered, “What, are we comparing children now?”
She felt that you couldn’t use Greek god logic to speculate about Chinese gods.
***
Meanwhile, other examinees in the exam halls closely watched the battle unfolding on the Giant King’s Court map.
The group chat buzzed fiercely, messages flying fast.
[“Who do you think will win this time?”]
[“I’m betting on Bai Yu! She’s leading the elite of the Six Great Pantheons; she’s invincible.”]
[“Not so fast—that’s Odinson, the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, and it’s his home turf. What if this is all part of his plan?”]
This message silenced the group for a few seconds.
Actually, that might be true.
If so, Bai Yu and her team could be walking straight into a trap.
Just then, someone sent an urgent broadcast:
[“Bad news! Look at the Giant King’s Court!!!”]
Everyone instinctively rushed to check the Fifth District’s Giant Nation map and gasped.
That royal court, which stood like a landmark from afar, had… disappeared?
[“No way, it collapsed? Did Bai Yu’s team do this?”]
[“That fierce? The royal court just crumbled? Unbelievable.”]
[“Bai Yu’s amazing—she made a stunning debut!”]
[“This means… Odinson lost? Bai Yu won?”]
[“The Six Great Pantheons’ siege really worked!”]
[“We chose the right side, haha. Now we don’t have to worry about Odinson taking revenge later.”]
For the examinees of the Six Great Pantheons, this was undeniably good news.
Odinson had been unshakable at the top of the Heavenly Ranking for years.
Now Bai Yu led the six pantheon examinees to defeat him in one fell swoop, and everyone felt the Damocles Sword hanging over their heads had finally vanished.
But at this moment, a Sixth District examinee from the Olympus Sanctuary sent another message:
[“Wait… not just the royal court collapsed… the entire snowfield collapsed!”]
[“Even on the adjacent map, the tremors are intense. Now, the scouts near the border are all rapidly retreating.”]
The group chat immediately fell silent.
Wait… the entire snowfield collapsed?
It even affected the neighboring map?
That must be a catastrophic event of massive scale!
Most importantly… what about the examinees who entered the Giant Nation map?
Did they survive?
Or are they all dead?
Wiped out?
At that moment, the Shen Yan AI’s voice sounded in everyone’s ears:
[Warning: Giant King’s Court map locked; entry permanently closed.]
The group immediately erupted with messages—
[“Did everyone hear Shen Yan’s announcement?”]
[“…The map just collapsed outright?”]
[“Can anyone still contact the examinees who attacked Odinson?”]
The responses were sparse:
[“I can’t reach Morris.”]
[“Emma is unresponsive.”]
[“Lakshmi’s comm device shows offline.”]
…No one could reach them.
Everyone finally realized that all the examinees who entered the Giant Nation map had died.
[“What happened exactly? Did they fight so fiercely, so brutally… that they all…”]
[“But no matter what, it’s terrifying to collapse Odinson’s map entirely.”]
[“So who actually won—Bai Yu or Odinson?”]
All the Six Great Pantheon examinees Bai Yu brought died, but Odinson’s map was destroyed too.
So who is the victor?
As the discussion went on, a Greek examinee named Ronya suddenly excitedly posted in the chat:
[“Wait, I saw Bai Yu-sama return, so in the end, it really was her victory!”]
This message instantly shifted the atmosphere.
[“She really won? Now we can relax.”]
[“I declare the Six Great Pantheons’ siege on Odinson a complete success!”]
[“True to the Greek Pantheon, true to Bai Yu-sama!”]
Everyone had already fabricated the story in their minds: Bai Yu led the Six Great Pantheon examinees to defeat Odinson, paying a heavy price, but ultimately achieving glorious victory.
At that moment, after sending the message, Ronya seemed to notice something was off about Bai Yu—she wasn’t triumphant but rather disheveled, even showing a hint of fear?
‘No, impossible.’
Ronya shook her head hard.
‘ It must be a mistake, an illusion caused by the distance.The victorious Bai Yu-sama wouldn’t show that expression.’
Bai Yu and Chris finally escaped back to Olympus.
They looked at each other, gasping heavily, as if death’s shadow still lingered around them, suffocating.
“We… survived?” Chris muttered shakily.
Bai Yu didn’t reply.
She bowed her head, staring intently at her own hand, only then realizing how battered she was—so disheveled she hadn’t even retracted her gun.
In a daze, the scenes flashed again: massive boulders falling like rain, deafening crashes of collapse, and that… figure.
Bai Yu finally spoke, her voice hoarse and unlike her usual tone, “Su Fu… hid so deeply.”
She clenched her trembling hand tightly.
Chris remained pale with lingering fear.
“Master, we were all deceived by her… Who would have thought she had controlled the royal court all along, waiting for us to walk right into her trap?”
‘Yes’, Bai Yu was silent.
‘The royal court… Wait!’
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
Bai Yu abruptly looked up, fear flashing in her eyes.
“If Su Fu could control the Giant King’s Court, then…”
“What about the Olympus Sanctuary?”
The Olympus Temple on the divine mountain?
Chris immediately understood her meaning.
Their eyes met, both reflecting horror.
If Su Fu could control the Olympus Sanctuary, just like the royal court…
His face instantly went pale, his vision blacking out.
His voice trembled in terror, “No, Su Fu’s cheating with divine skills now?”
“If that’s the case, what hope do we have?”
“Just collapse the core buildings of every map crazily.”
Bai Yu closed her eyes, forcing herself to take deep breaths.
She had to dispel her fear and stay calm.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths… her breathing gradually steadied.
She opened her eyes again, finally composed, “No, that won’t happen.”
Bai Yu seemed to be talking to herself, or perhaps explaining to Chris, “Olympus is the divine mountain, the pillar of heaven and earth. It can never self-destruct like the royal court.”
She thought it through carefully, her mind clearing:
“Besides, even if Su Fu wanted to control it, the Divine Power required would be enormous. The greater the power, the more Divine Power is needed. That’s the absolute truth.”
Chris’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Right, that must be what you guessed.”
He suddenly realized, “What about now? After controlling such a huge structure to collapse, she might be in an extreme state of weakness.”
Bai Yu nodded, now calmer, “Exactly. Your guess makes sense. And now Su Fu’s trump card is fully exposed. Except for us, everyone else who knew is dead.”
‘The information gap with other examinees is our opportunity.’
“There’s only one chance. She won’t let us off. It’s us or her.”
Bai Yu’s heart made the decision.
Her eyes shone cold with killing intent.
The group chat buzzed energetically, still discussing Odinson’s fall and Bai Yu’s triumphant return.
But then Bai Yu sent a message:
[Bai Yu]: “The one who took down Odinson was Su Fu.”
This statement hit like a bomb, plunging the group into stunned silence.
‘What? ‘
‘Su Fu wasn’t dead?’
‘And didn’t Bai Yu lead the Six Great Pantheons to attack Odinson? ‘
‘What does Su Fu have to do with it?’
Before anyone could ask, Bai Yu sent a second message:
