Su Fu now truly felt the connection with Nuwa, firmly certain that her principal deity would watch over her from now on.
This feeling was completely different from her previous summoning experiences.
Before, summoning meant calling out a name, reciting a title, and as one among countless believers, praying for the deity’s blessing, thereby establishing a brief connection to gain power.
It was like standing at the foot of a mountain, gazing at the stars, calling to the constellations, occasionally catching a stray starlight—a seed casually scattered by the gods.
But now—
‘Destiny.’
This word suddenly surfaced in her mind.
Destiny is the path a deity guides mortals along, the lifelong direction that followers of a god pursue.
Every deity possesses unique authority and a domain, and destiny hangs high in the heavens as their guiding light.
The War God’s destiny is filled with battles and glory; the God of Love and Beauty’s path is romantic and enchanting; the God of Wisdom’s destiny lies in the pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.
‘To enter their service is to walk their destiny. This is the beginning of the path.’
Su Fu thought of a metaphor: it was like a sapling choosing the soil best suited for it, from then on rooting itself in that soil, drawing nourishment, and growing strong.
She was no longer calling Nuwa from a distant place—she was truly walking the same path as Nuwa.
It was mystical, yet a clear and certain feeling.
Su Fu tried to focus her mind and summoned Nuwa’s divine manifestation.
The moment she spoke the name, divine power surged.
Behind her, a vague figure began to take shape.
She didn’t have to turn around to know clearly—it was Nuwa’s Divine Aspect!
A human head, snake’s body, surrounded by five-colored radiant light; although the details were blurred, the outline was unmistakable.
“Hehe, it really worked.”
She was satisfied, immensely so.
If graded by the god-follower levels, she was now at A-rank, the Fruit-Bearing Realm, also called the Manifestation Realm.
Next came the continuous improvement of her compatibility with the deity, making the Divine Aspect clearer and more complete until it reached perfection.
It was said that when a god-follower reached the peak of A-rank, the deity of their destiny would personally descend to bestow a title.
The bestowal was not merely admission; it was recognition from the god, truly becoming part of the deity’s lineage.
It was similar to an inner disciple becoming a direct heir.
Beyond the Manifestation Realm was the legendary S-rank—God’s Envoy.
Such individuals represented their deity in the world, capable of suppressing calamities alone, becoming powerful protectors of their domain.
Just like Dean Tai Xuanzi or the principals she had seen before—these were beings of that level.
But Su Fu quickly reined in her thoughts.
That was too far ahead.
She had only just stepped into A-rank and wouldn’t dream of reaching S-rank anytime soon.
Still, even just stepping into A-rank, Nuwa had given her an incredible surprise.
“Nuwa’s Divine Skill: [Mending the Sky · Repair]”
This was the divine power from the myth of Nuwa repairing the heavens, embodying creation and restoration authority.
It could mend broken objects and heal wounds.
Unlike ordinary healing, this repair extended to twisted rules and order.
She thought it would be extremely useful in chaotic dungeons, or even for repairing environments corrupted by anomalies.
Most practically for someone poor like her, it could fix damaged weapons and gear—just patch them up and last another three years!
Of course, for now, she could only perform the most basic repairs, but as her level increased, so would the power of this divine skill.
Perhaps eventually, she could even repair distorted anomalies—that would truly be powerful.
In short—
She, Su Fu, was now officially under Nuwa’s banner!
Next was the division of the Manifestation Realm itself.
It was actually easy to judge the strength of a Divine Aspect—the clearer and larger it was, the higher the realm.
She remembered that the Divine Aspects of the Great Sage and Erlang Shen could reach tens of thousands of feet, basically towering from earth to sky.
Of course, such heights were nearly impossible for humans.
The Manifestation Realm was commonly divided into four stages: Initial stage, where the Divine Aspect appeared vaguely; solidification stage, where the Divine Aspect took concrete form and could exist stably; Divine Manifestation stage, where the Divine Aspect not only existed steadily but grew to at least ten times the wielder’s size, with greatly increased offense and defense; and finally the Perfect stage—the peak attainable by humans.
She was currently at the first stage.
Besides summoning Nuwa’s Divine Aspect, she could also summon manifestations of other deities whose authority she held.
Authority meant connection to the deity, naturally enabling the summoning of their Divine Aspect.
Besides Nuwa, the Great Sage and the Dragon King of the East Sea had granted her authority.
“Sun Wukong……”
She silently chanted the Great Sage’s name.
Almost simultaneously, a golden figure formed behind her.
Holding the Golden Cudgel and clad in armor, the details were still blurry, but the rebellious aura was unmistakable—it was the Great Sage.
She roughly estimated its size at about twice her own body.
With the Divine Aspect appearing, she felt her attack power increase several times over, and not just in quantity—qualitatively.
“Now, if I ran into that so-called Great Fairy or the Heavenly River Fire Spirit General again, I probably couldn’t just crush them outright… But I would definitely win easily. This is the strength I should have had for A-rank dungeons,” she couldn’t help but complain, “That previous difficulty was just way over the top.”
Next, Su Fu tried the Dragon King’s Divine Aspect, switching back and forth among the various manifestations, happily testing each one several times.
‘Absolutely awesome,’ she thought, eager to tackle a few dungeons and try out some creation divine skills.
Besides the Manifestation Realm, because she followed a multi-deity summoning path, she could also cultivate the Fruit-Bearing Realm.
The Fruit-Bearing Realm’s advancement could be summed up as: “Divine skills become reality, transforming into true divine artifacts.”
For example, Judge Zhong Kui’s divine skill, [Evil-Subduing Talisman].
When she activated the skill, a genuine, golden-glowing talisman appeared in her hand.
It was no longer formed purely from divine power but was an actual physical divine artifact, something tangible, usable, and able to exist independently of her control.
This was the origin of the term “Fruit-Bearing Realm”—abilities fully mature, overflowing into fruits.
Like ripe fruit, divine power no longer just stayed inside but spilled outward, solidifying into real artifacts.
Su Fu suddenly recalled those various divine artifacts sold in the special Shen Yan Mall.
Like golden ears of wheat made by followers of the Goddess of Harvest, or the eternal golden apples from followers of the Goddess of Youth, all originating from this realm.
This was also the main source of income for god-followers.
The value of divine artifacts ranged from D to S ranks, determining their worth.
She used Shen Yan to inspect the [Evil-Subduing Talisman] she had made.
Just a D-rank divine artifact.
“Looks like I still have a long way to go before becoming a professional.”
If she could produce an A-rank divine artifact someday, she would truly be set for life.
However, Su Fu thought, while quickly improving divine artifact rank was difficult, she could choose to create different kinds of artifacts.
Not all needed to be power-focused.
For instance, Weaving Maiden’s exquisite divine artifacts could weave robes that never faded; Kitchen God’s incense artifacts could keep food fresh at room temperature with the best flavor; Or Yue Lao’s love artifacts… cough, maybe boosting relationships and charm?
And of course, there were consumables like Jade Nectar and Qiong Brew.
These were highly practical in daily life, with huge market demand.
“If I master these, I’d be selling like crazy!” Su Fu happily imagined, small money lining up to buy.
She nodded with satisfaction.
No wonder A-rank was such a qualitative leap.
Alright, alright, she couldn’t wait to try a few dungeons and make some creation divine skills.
She checked her current free Exam Papers—
Su Fu opened the Shen Yan interface:
[“Currently Owned: 3 D-rank Exam Papers, 1 A-rank Exam Paper (Third Star Ring College Entrance Reward)”]
[“Total Contribution Points: 300,000 (Including Third Star Ring College Entrance Reward)”]
Her eyes lit up but then calmed down.
“The number of Exam Papers is decent. As for Contribution Points… even though it looks like a lot, it’s really not enough… A few skill upgrades and it’s gone. Good thing I got so many peaches before.”
The S-rank Peaches were for her appointment; the rest she used to upgrade skills.
All twenty of her divine skills had now reached A-rank.
She guessed that just from the sheer number of divine skills, she could easily crush opponents—casting ten at once, who could handle that?
Besides, the S-rank Peaches also granted her various buffs: immunity to diseases, full poison resistance, and most negative status effects were basically ineffective against her.
The Peaches also enhanced her essence cleansing and body reconstruction.
Feeling the divine power flowing inside her, Su Fu thought, ‘It does seem effective, my divine power absorption and circulation speed have improved quite a bit.’
Though this might also be due to being in the Kunlun Holy Land.
As for the Peaches’ lifespan extension effect, she hadn’t felt it yet, probably something to experience over time.
Satisfied after assessing her improvements, Su Fu nodded.
Overall, a big upgrade!
At that moment, Dean Tai Xuanzi and Teacher Zhuge arrived at the main hall.
She excitedly waved at them.
“Dean, Teacher, I’ve succeeded in my appointment!”
Tai Xuanzi’s smile couldn’t be hidden.
“Good job, I knew you could do it. Come here, let me check you out.”
“Congratulations, Su Fu!” Teacher Zhuge said happily.
“Let the Dean examine you.”
After a thorough check, the result was naturally all normal.
Tai Xuanzi nodded approvingly, “Not bad, you’re in great shape now. You’ve crossed a big hurdle. Next, you can relax and rest for a couple of days.”
Su Fu thought the same.
Now that the college entrance exam was over, the university choices made, and her appointment successful, everything was finally settled.
The most relaxing time was after getting into college but before classes started.
Past pressures were over, and new ones hadn’t begun—time to enjoy a few days of carefree life.
So… time to enjoy herself!
As the sun set in the west, golden rays bathed the sea of clouds, turning the entire Kunlun Celestial Palace into a sea of gold.
Su Fu lazily lay in the main hall, leisurely watching the beautiful scene.
The white jade railings shimmered with light, clouds rolled like waves, mountain ridges layered, cranes flew by, and the cosmic Taiji Diagram slowly rotated.
Her ebony lounge chair gently swayed with her mood.
A breeze brought the fresh scent of mountain flowers and grass.
She took a deep breath, feeling every cell in her body stretch in comfort.
On the tea table nearby sat a pot of fragrant spirit tea, made from herbs from her Medicine Herb Garden, brewed with top-grade Jade Liquid.
Steam rose gently, swaying with the breeze.
