This temptation was really too great.
She also suddenly understood why principals were said to be invincible within the school.
Because the disaster dungeons they suppressed were completely unknown and terrifying to others.
It was like being in an extremely terrifying domain that only the principal could control, familiar with all the rules.
That was invincibility.
Su Fu understood at once.
No wonder her master was out on missions all the time.
So at the master’s level, one could freely enter and exit dungeons, no longer needing Shen Yan’s maintenance.
In other words, one could harvest dungeon resources at will.
She could even enter a disaster dungeon and park the Penglai Immortal Ship inside, letting it run commerce and stock up 24/7.
If that were the case…
Unifying the economic system of the anomalous world would be within reach.
Su Fu felt she absolutely had to comprehend Nuwa’s creation Dao quickly!
Just then, Shen Yan suddenly popped out a report card, floating before her.
[“Final Grade Report for Genesis Academy Selection”]
[“Test Taker: Su Fu”]
[“Pantheon: Chinese Pantheon”]
[“Rank: 1”]
[“Evaluation: Excellent”]
[“Remarks: Congratulations on successfully passing the Genesis Academy selection and officially gaining admission eligibility!”]
[“Please choose your preferred main academy on the admission interface that will be sent shortly to complete your enrollment.”]
[“Note: Please ensure you meet all the school’s requirements.”]
[“The Genesis Academy is the pinnacle of divine academies in human civilization. It not only has a long history and glorious traditions but is also the cradle that nurtures countless legends.”]
[“It gathers the top mentors, most advanced facilities, and most precious resources from across the galaxy. It is the treasure of human civilization and the crystallization of cosmic wisdom.”]
[“Among Genesis Academy graduates, 99.9% have made significant contributions to human civilization, becoming its pillars.”]
[“Here, you will be exposed to the deepest secrets of the universe, comprehend the most fundamental Dao, and protect the future of human civilization.”]
[“Congratulations! You have crossed countless star rivers and reached the end of the stars!”]
Soon, the admission interface popped up, and the projections of the three Genesis Academies unfolded in the void: Genesis Academy, Tianque Main Campus, and Taichu Main Campus.
Not only that, but also the detailed requirements for each school’s enrollment.
Su Fu thought, ‘Do I even need to choose? That must be Genesis Academy, the cradle of Divine Summoners.’
She confirmed without hesitation, and in an instant, the entire Shen Yan Space burst into brilliant light.
Countless fireworks bloomed in the void, and a golden acceptance letter slowly unfolded before her.
[“Student Su Fu, congratulations on your successful admission to Genesis Academy!”]
[“You have shown extraordinary talent and potential, and we look forward to your brilliant future at Genesis Academy!”]
[“Enrollment date: Seven days from now.”]
[“All faculty and students of Genesis Academy look forward to your arrival!”]
[“May you reach the highest heights on your journey through the stars and myriad worlds!”]
[“Principal of Genesis Academy: Laila Parks”]
Su Fu stood in the brilliant starry sky, looking at the acceptance letter before her with a light laugh.
‘Finally, I’ve climbed to the very top. Genesis Academy, here I come!’
Before she could sigh a few more times, the Shen Yan notification sound rang again.
[“You have a new private message. Please check it promptly.”]
Su Fu raised an eyebrow, ‘A new message?’
She casually opened it, and her expression froze the moment she saw the sender.
“Elvira. Has she come to fulfill her promise?”
‘I blew up the entire dungeon myself, indirectly saving her from the Netherworld Blood Sea. Then the promise she made to me should indeed be fulfilled, which is to truthfully tell me the fragments of the Heavenly Path’s past that she once saw.’
Sure enough, as soon as she opened the message, a video came through.
Obviously, Elvira had transcribed the scenes she had glimpsed.
In the video, the location and position were unknown.
But the background was a deep starry sky, countless stars twinkling among nebula-like veils, vast and boundless.
Su Fu thoughtfully said, “The density of these stars… it seems to be the Central Star System?”
Immediately after, a dazzling light appeared in the scene, gradually condensing into a blurry humanoid form.
The surrounding space seemed twisted by this light, forming a special domain.
Although the face was blurry, Su Fu’s heart pounded, ‘Is this the so-called true god that Elvira mentioned before?’
At first, it just floated quietly in the void, as if observing, understanding, and adapting to this unfamiliar world.
Then, it began to act.
The deity began to construct an area in the void, and as light flowed, buildings rose from the ground.
The rules of this area were stable; humans could survive here.
“He constructed a safe zone.”
Over time, more and more humans were attracted here, and they discovered that the deity seemed to be protecting them.
Thus the safe zone expanded and became more prosperous—in the scene, a magnificent city rose up, with tall buildings, advanced technology, and bustling crowds.
But later, the scene fast-forwarded rapidly, flashing countless fragmented clips, occasionally pausing, then quickly disappearing.
Humans bustling, the deity appearing and disappearing.
The deity stood on a high platform, surrounded by countless worshipping believers.
A bustling city, with brilliant lights.
Then, the scene abruptly stopped.
Su Fu watched with her heart pounding, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, ‘What true god was born? This is clearly an anomaly.’
She had once boldly speculated whether there might be some deity that had been completely replaced by an anomaly, so that the so-called anomaly became a true god.
There was no answer at the time, but now, the answer was laid bare before her.
“There is one, even right in the Central Star System!”
‘So, who is that face?’
She hadn’t seen it before, but its existence sent chills down her spine.
“An anomaly replaced the true god, surviving in the human world…”
“What is its goal?”
Su Fu’s mind raced, various conspiracy theories flashing through her mind, ‘It might be raising a Gu, cultivating a sufficiently large civilization, then… devouring it?’
But in the end, she thought, it all comes down to the instinct of any civilization: survival, propagation.
This is the instinct of civilization, and also the nature of anomalies.
The essence of civilization has never been good or evil, but “existence.”
Gods or anomalies, in the end, what they seek is nothing more than “continuation.”
Whether human, god, or anomaly, all are pursuing eternal survival.
On the scale of the universe, all civilizations are no different.
Perhaps civilization is just a ripple that appears by chance in the universe, destined to fade in the river of time, so resistance becomes especially important.
She recalled the prosperous city that had formed in the video.
“Which planet in the Central Star System is this?”
“The history that Elvira read… how long ago was it?”
Before she could ask these questions, Elvira had already retracted the video.
The video was destroyed, leaving no trace.
She sent a brief message.
[I have fulfilled my promise.]
[This scene, I know no more than you do.]
Su Fu stared at that reply, her brow slightly furrowed.
“So, Elvira also can’t answer those questions?”
She couldn’t help but ask further.
[Is this your own skill? Don’t you even know which history it read?]
Elvira replied quickly this time: [I don’t know. Eternal Tundra reads randomly; I can’t control it. In any case, the Central Star System is not safe. That’s all I’ll say. Thanks for this time.]
Then Elvira went offline directly.
“You sure are straightforward, acting all aloof, aren’t you?”
However, Elvira’s words were enough to confirm one thing for her.
Among the true gods of the Central Star System, there exist false gods.
Actually, she wasn’t too shocked about this.
After all, abnormalities have developed for so many epochs; there should be some peak-level combat power.
High-level anomalies can run rampant between dungeons; it doesn’t seem strange for the most top-tier anomalies to come to the human world.
She suddenly thought of something, her gaze sharpening.
“Could this… be the reason the Master doesn’t want to come to the Central Star System?”
Su Fu’s heart raced.
If that were the case, it was terrifying to think about.
“Does that mean the Master also knows about the existence of false gods here?”
‘Then the question arises, what about the others? Do they all know as well? But everyone tacitly agrees not to say? Why? Because that god… regards itself as a true deity. It has a huge number of followers, granting them a safe and prosperous life. Then what difference is there from a true god?’
“So-called replication, of course, is to inherit everything.”
She suddenly thought, perhaps no one would choose to expose it either, because what benefit would that bring them?
On the contrary, if that false god were to awaken because of it, who knows what uncontrollable consequences it would cause?
Thus, the magpie’s nest was usurped.
Su Fu suddenly fell silent.
“The most brilliant Central Star System… is actually a weave of true divine light and false light.”
She suddenly remembered that prophecy in Shen Yan: [The galaxy is vast; only the light of the gods can illuminate the darkness. At the boundary of faint light and deep darkness, await the dawn.]
‘I see. The prophecy is clear: the true gods are the faint light, the false gods are the deep darkness, and humans are at the boundary. Forward, or backward?’
Su Fu, without hesitation, chose forward. ‘If anyone dares to replace the Chinese deities, I’ll slay the god directly! All Chinese deities have made great contributions to China. An anomaly wants to directly copy and effortlessly replace everything—has it asked the Chinese believers?’
The key question now was: How to know which ones are false gods?
“In the Central Star System now, how many ‘gods’ are real?”
Wait, Su Fu suddenly remembered her master’s plan, the so-called need for a year.
‘Could it be related to this? Now, I should be able to find out, right?’
Without further ado, Su Fu immediately sent a message to Tai Xuanzi to ask.
This time, Tai Xuanzi replied quite quickly.
First, she sent a happy cat meme, then an emoji with a little flag saying “Congratulations on your promotion.”
[My good disciple has made it! S-rank! Under Nuwa! Your master is proud!]
Then she replied: [Alright, next time we meet, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.]
Seeing this message, Su Fu’s mood immediately improved.
Her master finally agreed to tell her.
Does this mean her master thinks she can help now? This is true. Now she possesses many divine powers and numerous magical artifacts; she can be considered a powerful fighter. Very secure!
[Okay, Master! Then please come back soon. By the way, I also want to know what the calamity dungeon beneath Kunlun Academy is.]
Tai Xuanzi replied succinctly: [Okay, soon. I’ll go back after it’s resolved.]
Su Fu was satisfied, ‘If Master said soon, it must be really soon! Done!’
Next, she would log out of the Shen Yan Space.
Su Fu had already prepared thoroughly.
Ever since that Central Inspector of the Greek Pantheon made a move on her in public last time, she now knows how shameless those aristocratic families are.
So preparations are necessary.
If they dare to make a move, Su Fu thought—
Should she try the human wave tactics of the Investiture of the Gods?
365 righteous gods ganging up.
Or try the ultimate killing formation of the Zhu Xian Sword Array?
Clear the field with one sword.
Or the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation of the Three Xiao Sisters?
A cultivation-reduction package.
Or maybe add Shen Gongbao’s “Daoist friend, please stay” on top?
“Tsk, too many choices is also a kind of trouble.”
For a moment, Su Fu even looked forward to them coming to pick a fight.
Thinking about it, she suddenly sighed, “What a pity that Saint Emilia didn’t give me the family tree of the aristocratic houses. Otherwise, I could directly target them and save the trouble.”
