Before anyone could react, the sea of clouds in the north suddenly churned.
A giant turtle carrying a dark shell emerged from the waves.
With a snake’s tail coiling around it, it steadily propped up the northern part of the ship.
At the same time, crimson flames ignited in the southern sky.
Amidst the flying fire feathers, a Divine Bird with feathers like fire arrived with a long cry, supporting the southern side of the ship.
Four brilliant pillars of light shot into the sky from the four directions.
The previously teetering Penglai was actually frozen in mid-air.
The entire Eighteen Levels of Hell fell silent.
Everyone was so shocked by the scene that they were speechless.
It took a long time for someone to find their voice.
“That’s incredible… four giant Divine Beasts are just holding up the entire ship like that?”
“Who are those three controlling the Divine Beasts?”
“Relics of an ancient civilization… the Gui Zang Clan.”
A test taker specializing in scouting saw them.
“But even so, what can they do even if they hold the ship?” someone poured cold water on the mood.
“Once they run out of strength, the ship will still collapse.”
“I don’t want to be crushed to death…”
“Wait, look at the ship!” someone suddenly screamed.
A massive phantom with a human head and a snake’s body slowly appeared.
“That’s… the Chinese Founding God, Nuwa!”
After Nuwa appeared, she raised the Five-Colored Stones in her hand.
The cracks on the immortal ship actually began to heal.
The fallen debris flew back to its original position, and the broken railings reconnected…
“…”
“An ability to repair an entire map? Over such a large area? For real?”
“Impossible… absolutely impossible…”
Yet the truth was right before their eyes.
The ship, which had been broken beyond repair, was not only completely fixed under Nuwa’s Heaven-Mending Power but was even refreshed, appearing more ethereal and immortal than before.
“This is definitely broken,” someone murmured, “I bet she’s cheating!”
“If Su Fu were just S-rank, I could barely understand it, but this… I can only say Nuwa’s ability is too strong!”
Waves of shock surged in everyone’s hearts.
In the sky, Nuwa’s elegant hands mended the ship while the four Divine Beasts circled and protected it.
This scene was so shocking that someone couldn’t help but ask: “What exactly is the origin of Nuwa?”
“Wake up! You’re in the Norse faction!”
“I can’t control my eyes!”
“But that Azure Dragon really is cool as hell…”
Someone couldn’t take it anymore and said sinisterly, “Still watching?”
“Have you all forgotten something?”
“After Su Fu is done with the ship… who is she going to deal with next?”
The entire Exam Hall went silent instantly.
The crowd: “…”
‘What a disaster!’
It seemed like it was them!
Thinking of their wavering just now, wails of anguish suddenly broke out.
“I actually hoped she would win just now. Isn’t that digging my own grave!”
“Exactly! Who cares about Nuwa or the Azure Dragon!”
“It’s just a dragon. What’s the big deal!”
“Is the Chinese Pantheon that great? Are the Four Symbols Divine Beasts that powerful?”
Just then, Su Fu’s laughing voice suddenly drifted down: “Oh? Everyone’s moving quite fast. Since you’ve reached the ninth level, let’s call it a day here.”
The crowd: “??”
The test takers were collectively stunned, unable to believe their ears for a moment.
“What does she mean?”
“Is she saying… we don’t have to continue?”
“For real? Did she suddenly become merciful?”
“We only reached the ninth level of the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Can Su Fu really be that kind?”
“Exactly, it’s absolutely impossible!”
“It’s fake! It’s definitely a trap!”
Someone also bolstered their courage and shouted toward the sky, “Is it… is it really unnecessary for us to continue attacking the map?”
Everyone was talking at once.
They both craved release and didn’t dare believe that a pie would fall from the sky.
Amidst the chaos, an indignant and desperate roar suddenly rang out.
“My god, look at the sky!!”
Everyone looked up.
They saw a pillar that seemed to hold up the sky shooting down from the immortal ship.
The golden light was blinding, and its momentum was magnificent. It pointed straight toward the Eighteen Levels of Hell with terrifying power!
Wherever the pillar passed, the void distorted, and the air vibrated, making a deafening whistling sound.
“Get out of the way!!!”
“That’s… that’s Su Fu’s Golden Cudgel!”
“The Golden Cudgel?!”
“No wonder she said we didn’t need to continue!”
“She wants to use the Golden Cudgel to pierce through the entire Eighteen Levels of Hell!”
“Madman! She’s a total madman!”
The crowd was terrified, scattering in all directions.
“Boom—!!!”
The Golden Cudgel was unstoppable.
With a force that could destroy anything in its path, it smashed into Hell.
The ground was instantly pierced through, and the massive shockwave sent the surrounding test takers tumbling to the ground.
As the mountains and the earth shook, the entire Exam Hall began to collapse.
The test takers watched in horror as that golden pillar went all the way down.
They cried for their parents as they fled in all directions, some cursing as they ran: “Su Fu, you just wait!”
“Didn’t you say we’d call it a day?!”
“Run! Don’t get killed by the aftershocks!”
Countless angry roars shot into the sky from the ruins.
Finally, accompanied by a world-shaking boom, the Golden Cudgel completely pierced through the entire Hell, reaching the very bottom!
“Rumble!!!”
The entire Eighteen Levels of Hell began to collapse, and countless ghosts and spirits were annihilated in the golden light.
At the same time, the World Tree that Su Fu had placed in Hell to recover everyone also began to rise slowly, turning into a streak of light and flying back to Penglai.
The terrifying vibration lasted for a full minute before it gradually subsided.
As the dust settled, a shocking, massive hole was revealed, leading straight to the bottom of Hell.
Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock, the mechanical voice of Shen Yan rang in their ears: [“Warning: The Eighteen Levels of Hell map has been locked. Entry routes are permanently closed.”]
[“Current Anomaly Cleanup Progress: 100%”]
[“This exam is over.”]
[“The Exam Space is closing…”]
Shen Yan continued to broadcast, but the test takers were collectively stunned.
“Holy shit… is it really over?”
“Su Fu… she really ended the exam with one strike of her staff?”
“Mom, I made it out alive… waah…”
“We only fought to the ninth level… she pierced through eighteen levels with one strike?!”
“No way… the Shen Yan prompt says all the maps were taken out by her?”
“So… the league just ended like this?”
In an instant, all the test takers were dazed.
The entire league was ended by Su Fu with one strike of her staff?
In previous leagues, which one didn’t last for several months?
Which one didn’t involve earth-shattering battles and rivers of blood?
In the end, during this session, one person, Su Fu, took the immortal ship, killed the boss, pierced through Hell, and ended the league?!
The crowd was furious.
Most of them had spent their time grinding through the Eighteen Levels of Hell, originally waiting to counterattack against Su Fu after breaking through.
But now, everything was gone.
The crowd broke down in anger, yet they were helpless.
The feeling was like the entire class was still struggling with the first major question, but then the top student stood up, handed in their paper, and took everyone else’s papers with them.
The crowd: “…”
They were fuming!
“Su Fu! You’re too cruel!”
“We didn’t even get a chance to show off!”
“Argh! I’m way too pathetic!”
“Wait, if she hadn’t acted, wouldn’t we have had to keep fighting the Eighteen Levels of Hell here?”
“Uh… I guess that’s true…”
When the crowd thought about it, they were suddenly at a loss for words.
The countdown in their ears continued: [“9… 8… 7…”]
Just then, as Su Fu stood on the deck of the immortal ship, she suddenly heard an extremely faint call, almost a murmur: “Don’t… leave…”
Su Fu started, and then a look of surprise and joy appeared in her eyes.
“Do you have consciousness?”
She hadn’t misheard.
It was the voice of the Penglai Immortal Ship.
‘…Penglai?’
The voice was as weak as a candle in the wind, but it truly came from the ship itself: “Don’t… leave… Penglai…”
Su Fu’s heart warmed, and her tone softened, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back. Recover well, alright?”
The consciousness of the Immortal Ship seemed exhausted, but it still struggled to transmit a response: “Okay…”
Then, the countdown ended.
Everything before Su Fu’s eyes completely dissipated, and she returned to the Shen Yan Space.
In the vast starry sky, countless stars twinkled.
She let out a small sigh of relief, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl upward.
‘It was probably the five-colored divine light Nuwa scattered during the repair. It didn’t just fix the Immortal Ship; it also nourished its spirituality.’
‘It has gradually awakened from its state of muddled confusion.’
Su Fu pondered, ‘It seems as long as I give it time, it might slowly recover until it’s completely healed.’
She exhaled a long breath.
That was enough for now.
Just then, a system notification suddenly popped up in front of her, condensing into a line of brilliant golden text: [Congratulations! You have unlocked a new title: Great Wall Watcher]
Su Fu was stunned, “Great Wall Watcher?”
Below the title was a detailed description: [Title Details: Personally bestowed by Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng. May you inherit the will of the Great Wall, guard the frontiers, and protect China.]
[Effect 1: Eternal Mountains and Rivers. When encountering famous Chinese generals or strategists, special dialogue options will automatically trigger, with a chance to obtain additional support.]
[Effect 2: Spark of Civilization. For every Chinese ruin reclaimed, all stats will permanently increase by 5%.]
“Automatically trigger dialogues to obtain additional support?”
Su Fu processed this.
In other words, if she encountered Zhuge Liang, this title might make him feel favorable toward her, or even willing to give extra guidance?
Maybe he would even bestow a Heavenly Technique?
If she encountered Zhao Yun, could she unlock the “Seven In, Seven Out” evasion Heavenly Technique?
‘Hiss…’ Su Fu let her imagination run wild.
‘If I get a skill every time I meet someone, I might eventually collect the entire Chinese All-Star team?’
Great Wall Watcher sounded like a defensive title, but she hadn’t expected it to be a Chinese summoner’s buff.
As expected of the First Emperor; he was truly generous!
This title was essentially an endorsement from the Emperor of All Ages.
One had to understand that the “Great Wall” never referred to just a wall; it was a symbol of China.
As a Watcher, one naturally didn’t just guard the wall, but actually protected the entire Chinese civilization.
In a way, this was even more shocking than a divine power itself.
“It’s like being given official certification as the Gatekeeper of China.”
Su Fu admired it happily for a long while before clicking on her Personal Star Map interface.
This time, she had newly obtained Erlang Shen’s [Fatian Xiangdi], Nezha’s [Fire-tipped Spear: Attack], and Ying Zheng’s divine power [Great Wall of China].
It was a massive harvest.
Just as she was about to take stock of her spoils, her report card arrived: [Final Report Card for the Interstellar League All-Universe Unified Examination]
[Test Taker: Su Fu]
[Divine Pantheon: Chinese Pantheon]
[Academy: Kunlun Academy / Tianqiong Path Academy]
[Rank: 1]
[Congratulations on winning the League Championship! You ended the League single-handedly, refreshing all examination hall records of this era.]
[May this glory shine upon your future journey. All races of the Star Sea shall remember your name, and the stars shall shine for you!]
[Furthermore, the Stellar Abyss Group & Eternal Cardinal have issued a large amount of rewards for you. Please check them in a timely manner.]
When Su Fu saw the words “large amount,” her eyes immediately lit up.
The League was backed by many financial groups; this “large amount” was definitely not an exaggeration.
It should be quite significant, right?
She hurriedly opened her mail to check the reward list: [1. Universal Contribution Points: 500 million]
[2. God-tier Materials: Five Elements Source ×5, Chaos Spirit Pearls ×3…]
[3. Special Support for Chinese Civilization Revival: S-class Resource Star Mining Rights ×1 (Mineral Type J6-8)]

[Note: Advertising Slot Description—All test takers participating in Ministry of Education exams will watch this advertisement before entering the Exam Paper Dungeon. This covers the entire school-age population of the Interstellar League.]
[…]
There was a long list of rewards further down the email, but Su Fu’s gaze was fixed on “Advertising Usage Rights.”
“Wait, advertising placement rights?” She blinked, making sure she hadn’t misread it.
“That means…”
