According to what Qing Ling said, the three Genesis Academies were indeed in a league of their own.
Each had its own strengths and was incredibly powerful.
They were the highest halls of education in the universe, gathering the top talents from across the Interstellar.
However, Su Fu felt that these Genesis Academies were perhaps a bit too “arrogant.”
If they only wanted Divine Summoners, weren’t they directly shutting everyone else out?
‘I suppose this Genesis Academy is a bit too bold,’ Su Fu thought, ‘Does it only want Divine Summoners, directly shutting everyone else out? Can they even fill their quota every year with such requirements?’
At that moment, Qing Ling continued, “If you want the Chinese Pantheon to reappear in the Star Sea, this is a necessary step.”
“Every year, 70% of the graduates from these three schools directly enter positions within the Ministry of Education.”
“The most outstanding among them eventually become the Ministers of Education for the various Star Rings.”
It could be said that this was almost a guaranteed bright path: graduate from a Genesis Academy, enter the Ministry of Education, and rise through the ranks step by step to eventually hold the reins of interstellar educational power.
Su Fu understood.
The Genesis Academies were the cradle of talent for the Ministry of Education.
“As long as you get in, you can distinguish yourself and enter the core of power, thereby controlling key resources.”
After all, simply fighting and killing within maps was not enough.
To truly change the situation for the Chinese Pantheon, one had to be close to the central power and hold a high position.
Only by holding the right to speak could one do whatever they wished.
Qing Ling chuckled softly, “That is exactly the point. To revitalize the Chinese Pantheon in the Interstellar, you must possess sufficient power. Therefore, the higher you climb, the better.”
Su Fu thought of Minister Kong Ying.
Wasn’t it just like that?
She was the Minister, so she had the final say.
So what if her policies were aggressive?
If the great families dared to be arrogant, she dared to deal with them.
With power in her own hands, she could build things exactly how she wanted.
‘When that time comes, I could even choose the types of Exam Papers, increasing the proportion of the Chinese Pantheon so more students can encounter and understand it.’
‘I could even establish an academy exclusive to the Chinese Pantheon.’
Bai Shou added, “Yes. Let everyone learn the history of China from a young age, and understand the stories of Nuwa Mending the Sky and Da Yu Controlling the Waters.”
“When they encounter content related to Chinese gods in exams, it will no longer be obscure knowledge.”
Su Fu was a bit excited.
By then, she could even set up a Chinese Scenario series of Exam Papers, forming series for Journey to the West, the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld, training Chinese Divine Summoners who would each fulfill their respective duties.
When the time came, the Chinese Pantheon’s Divine Summoners would be spread across the Interstellar, and her students would be everywhere.
Why would she then worry about China not flourishing?
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Before this, she had only thought about how to make herself stronger and how to collect resources.
Now, her goals had to be a bit more grand.
At that moment, the notification from the Shen Yan System sounded in her ear: [“Respected League Champion Su Fu, the reward you obtained, ‘All-Universe Exam Paper Advertisement Slot (7 Days),’ is now ready for use.”]
[“Do you wish to confirm the broadcast now, or choose another time slot?”]
There was no time like the present.
Su Fu thought for a moment and said, “Do it now.”
[“Confirmation received. Broadcast process initiated…”]
[“Connecting to the Interstellar League education system…”]
[“Ready. The advertisement will randomly display the images and abilities of Chinese gods to candidates across the entire universe in ten seconds.”]
[“10, 9, 8…”]
[“Advertisement broadcast beginning!”]
After hearing the confirmation, Su Fu looked at the three of them with a smile and asked, “Do you have any Exam Papers? Should we go through a map now?”
The three of them looked at each other in surprise.
What?
So suddenly?
Weren’t they just talking about the Genesis Academies?
Why the sudden jump to a map?
Su Fu blinked, “I have a big surprise for you.”
A surprise.
The three of them exchanged looks.
They had to see this!
Bai Shou said, “Earlier, when the Master was negotiating with the Ministry of Education, the teachers gave us some special Exam Papers.”
“In that case… should we try?”
“Let’s go!”
Su Fu also used her rewarded A-rank Test Paper and entered the Shen Yan Space.
[“Candidate Su Fu, welcome to the A-rank Exam Space”]
[“The Exam Paper has finished loading”]
[“Your Exam Paper for this session is: Zhaoge: Demon Chaos”]
[“Please select your Divine Pantheon of Faith —”]
“Chinese Pantheon.”
[“Correct choice!”]
Su Fu: “…?”
‘You little rascal, did you always have a prompt like that?’
Almost simultaneously, the advertisement began to play.
Under the vast starry sky, a giant phantom of a goddess gradually materialized.
The goddess had a human head and a snake’s body, and her eyes seemed to contain the compassion of the entire universe.
She held a Five-Colored Stone and looked toward the humans she loved, offering a slight smile filled with endless warmth and tolerance.
An introduction appeared within the phantom: The Founding God of the Chinese Pantheon, Nuwa.
Mother of the Earth, the Goddess who Mended the Sky, also known as Empress Wa.
The phantom of Nuwa slightly raised her hand.
Simultaneously, the moment the Penglai Immortal Ship collapsed appeared in the void.
The Five-Colored Stone shone with a brilliant light, turning into a stream of radiance that flew toward the Immortal Ship.
Wherever it passed, countless cracks healed completely, and eventually, the Immortal Ship was restored to its former glory.
Nuwa possessed the great power to repair heaven and earth, as well as compassion for all living beings.
Even though Su Fu was a participant in the event, this was her first time seeing the entire process of Nuwa’s repair from a bystander’s perspective.
She suddenly wondered how many candidates were seeing the majesty of the Chinese gods along with her right now.
Perhaps they were seeing Nuwa, or the Great Sage, or Nezha, or Erlang Shen…
Before she could see enough, Nuwa’s figure gradually blurred, and the voice of the Shen Yan System sounded again: [“Matching with the Chinese Pantheon Divine Pool completed”]
[“Results of the random draw: ‘Investiture of the Gods’ “]
A familiar figure appeared.
This time, Jiang Ziya was fishing on the banks of the Weishui River.
The moment he turned around, a jade scroll fell from the sky and turned into a stream of light that sank into the space between Su Fu’s eyebrows.
[“You have obtained the Heavenly Technique: Investiture of the Gods”]
Before Su Fu could clearly read the skill description, the outline of the city of Chao Ge appeared amidst the smoke.
The city walls were towering, flags fluttered in the wind, and the sound of war drums and the shouts of soldiers echoed from the distance.
The exam had begun.
At the same time, the other three also caught the display of Nuwa’s Divine Manifestation.
Bai Shou’s habitually cold face softened in a rare display of emotion, “Goddess Nuwa…”
How long had it been?
Since the Guizang Clan had gone into hiding, how many years had passed?
Now, he could finally see a Chinese god reappear in the Interstellar, appearing right before his eyes.
‘Master, this is the scene you wanted to see most. Can you see it now?’
‘All of you of my clan, can you see it?’
Qing Ling’s eyes also reddened as she let out a low sigh, “It really is… a huge surprise…”
Cang Yue bowed deeply, making a vow like a silent mountain, “First, I wish for the glory of my clan to return. Second, I wish for the sparks of the human race to never be extinguished. Third, I wish for the mountains and rivers to return to our homeland…”
“Burning our lives for the Everlasting Sky!”
***
At the same moment, countless candidates who were currently in the middle of exams also saw the Chinese gods.
In an Exam Hall somewhere in the Third Star Ring, a student was boredly waiting for the familiar divine advertisements to play when a monkey carrying a Golden Cudgel suddenly appeared before his eyes.
“Eh?” the student murmured in confusion, “A Chinese god?”
He thought for a moment before reacting, “Oh, that fallen Chinese Pantheon among the eight Divine Systems…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that Golden Cudgel suddenly swell in size, directly piercing through the Eighteen Levels of Hell map in front of him!
Hell collapsed with a roar, and countless ghosts and monsters wailed as they were reduced to ashes.
“My god! This is too strong!” the student cried out, “This— This destructive power is even stronger than the God of Destruction!”
Similar scenes were playing out in various maps.
A blonde girl was guessing whether it would be the Greek or Norse Pantheon as usual when she was startled by the sound of a dog’s bark.
Following that, she saw the dog let out a howl and swallow the Solar Barque of the Egyptian Sun God, Ra, in a single bite.
“Oh my god! Even a dog can be this powerful, swallowing the Solar Barque?!”
“The Chinese Pantheon… is actually this strong?!”
There was also Nezha’s Fire-tipped Spear piercing through a hundred-meter mecha with a single thrust; Zhong Kui commanding a “Yin Soldier Passage,” followed by the appearance of countless ghost soldiers.
Guanyin sprinkling the Sweet Dew from Guan Yin’s Net Bottle, bringing withered trees back to life in spring; The Water God, Gonggong, crashing into Mount Olympus in a rage that caused the mountains to collapse.
The Azure Dragon supporting the Immortal Ship alone and granting the twelve authorities; The Qingluan and Cai Feng spreading their wings and flying high, as the brilliant Phoenix was reborn from the ashes…
Countless candidates realized for the first time that the Chinese Pantheon actually had so many gods!
And they were so powerful!
It wasn’t just one candidate, but all interstellar candidates— from the outermost Fourth Star Ring to the core Central Star System— who witnessed this scene.
Almost as soon as the exams ended, terms related to the Chinese Pantheon surged onto the hot search lists: #Today’s Advertisement: Chinese Pantheon!
#Nuwa Mends the Immortal Ship.
#The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: One Strike Through Eighteen Levels! Eternal God!
The comments under each tag were exploding: [Oh my god! Did you guys notice? Today’s advertisement was actually the Chinese Pantheon? How many years has it been since we’ve seen that?]
[I must be dreaming. I just saw one strike from a staff smash through the Eighteen Levels of Hell map.]
[So handsome! Ahhh, it was simply cool to the max!]
[What’s the situation? Isn’t the Chinese Pantheon the bottom one among the eight Divine Systems? Can someone actually afford to place an advertisement of this scope?]
[Did the person above not follow the recent Interstellar League? Link: (Chinese Su Fu’s League Highlight Moments)]
[The final winner was Su Fu of the Chinese Pantheon. She crushed the Interstellar League single-handedly! She carried China on her back alone. This advertisement is the reward!]
[+1, sharing a link: [Chinese Pantheon: One Against Six? Smashing the Seven Pantheon Allied Army! Reverse Sending Them to Hell for Reform!)]
[Wait, the point is that she’s the only one in the Chinese Pantheon? She actually fought her way to first place in the league?]
[That’s way too heaven-defying!]
[Other pantheons participate in groups, but she soloed the dungeon and crushed the entire field?! I feel like my eyes might be blind…]
[Adding a league video. Look at the part where the Yamata no Orochi gets beaten up! [Video]]
[The Yamata no Orochi… that one from the Amaterasu Pantheon? Its head was crushed by a claw from a Chinese dragon?]
[Help! My classmate from the Amaterasu Pantheon has been depressed since seeing this video… What should I do? It’s urgent!]
[Leaning back in my chair. If I put myself in their shoes, their world has truly collapsed.]
[Speaking of which, didn’t you realize this name is very familiar?]
[Su Fu, isn’t she that dual-ring Top Scorer from the Class of 4,051?]
[Heaven, it really is her! Not only was she the Fourth Star Ring Top Scorer, but she also took the title of Third Star Ring College Entrance Examination Top Scorer in the same year!]
[It’s said she came from a remote star system outside of the Fourth Star Ring…]
[Wait, so that means she fought her way alone from the edge of the Interstellar through the Fourth, Third, and Second Rings… and now she’s directly reached the top as the league champion?]
[One person carrying an entire pantheon?]
[Heaven-defying. Hasn’t the Chinese Pantheon already fallen?]
[Please, fallen doesn’t mean dead. As long as there’s someone there, a reversal is possible!]
[So what kind of monster is she? To fight her way from the very bottom to the very top?]
[She’s simply a legend. Oh my mother, I’m witnessing the birth of a legendary figure!]
The discussion became increasingly heated, with all sorts of exclamations and guesses flooding in.
Many people even began to dig deep into Su Fu’s past, and the more they dug, the more shocked they became.
At that moment, a public media outlet released a piece of news: [@Galaxy Morning News: The latest update of the (Galactic History of Education) has included an entry for Su Fu, recording her summoning of the Four Sea Dragon Kings and obtaining the twelve-fold authority selection opportunity.]
Everyone was instantly shocked.
