The Era of Gods - Chapter 429
Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Jin Sisi’s Summoning
“`
It meant that as long as she could develop these planes, no, as long as they developed… a super-large plane, and fully developed this super-large plane, it would be enough to sustain a being with powerful divine power.
And this bunch of planes could supply a grand divine system with several beings of powerful divine power within it.
“So envious!”
Lin Xiao was in tears, filled with envy.
But then he thought about how she was his girlfriend, and he felt much better.
“I’m all in on this sugar mommy.”
…..
The development of the planes ultimately didn’t pan out, and Lin Xiao had already taken his girlfriend on preliminary inspections of more than a dozen medium and small planes within the Moon Cloud Realm, even selecting a small plane for early-stage development. However, before they could dispatch the cleaning troops, he received a message from his homeroom teacher, whom he hadn’t heard from in a long time, asking him and his girlfriend to return to school.
At first, Lin Xiao was puzzled—wasn’t it too early for school to start? Why did they need to return so soon?
It wasn’t until he saw Jin Sisi’s explanation at the end of the message that he had an epiphany.
It turned out that as a result of his actions, mentoring a child of Gaia was an outstanding achievement for any teacher, a cause for celebration; naturally, she was no exception and hence had been promoted to Huiyao University.
There was, of course, no issue with her strength—after all, she wielded a weak divine power of around six or seven God Levels, which was more than sufficient to be a homeroom teacher even in Huiyao University.
Previously, she had not been eligible, and also her goal required her to select from the elite of the high school department, so she had joined the Glorious Middle School Department.
Now that Lin Xiao had moved up, it was natural for her to continue following him.
Of course, this wasn’t the main reason they were being urged to return. The important point was a regulation at Huiyao University: any students who moved up directly from the middle school department, or who tested into the university from outside, were not assigned to a class randomly or by the school; rather, they got to choose their own teachers and classes.
This system would naturally result in some classes having more students and others fewer. So, if a class became too large later on, enrollment would be halted, and there would even be adjustments among different classes.
Jin Sisi wanted him to come over early, obviously to select his class early.
Speaking of which, it’s important to elaborate on the university department’s system.
It wasn’t just Huiyao University’s system; the rules and regulations of university departments across the Human Main World were generally quite similar, with minor differences depending on the school.
Jin Sisi’s message highlighted two important points:
The first was the relaxation of restrictions, something Lin Xiao was already familiar with, but not fully.
Beyond what he knew, he was surprised by some of the lifted restrictions.
For example, it was permissible for homeroom teachers and counselors to openly provide various types of assistance to the students they favored.
No matter your performance, as long as the homeroom teacher or counselor was willing, they could provide any assistance within the rules.
Meanwhile, the resources obtained by homeroom teachers or counselors were tied to the sponsored students’ growth rates and achievements during university, benefiting both parties.
In plain terms, university life was just getting students accustomed to societal inequities early on, letting them experience early on the harshness of society.
Except for not crossing the bottom line set by the school, pretty much everything else was acceptable.
The bottom line goes without saying—it naturally meant no infighting to the death. You could clique up and pick on a student with your classmates, but bringing outsiders to deal with students was not allowed; everything had to stay within school regulations.
The second point was the existence of the school network, which was not merely a reference to the internal network of various universities—it was only a part of it. The real school network referred to a networking platform built collectively by all the universities in the Human Main World.
As is well known, universities are ranked, including super academies requiring demigod status for entry, higher colleges where elites can enter without being demigods, and of course, ordinary universities that just require money for entry.
The school network existed not only for communication between all human universities but its major function was to allow for the exchange and trade of various resources among them.
Put simply, the school network was an inter-school trade platform, and according to regulations, all student transactions during the university period had to be conducted through the school network.
And as everyone knows, demigods can encapsulate resources into card form by expending divine power for their own use, and naturally, they can even sell these on the school network in exchange for resources they need.
These were the two main points, and there were some minor rules as well, which Lin Xiao also read through carefully and committed to memory.
Having gone over these, there was nothing left to say except to spread his hands towards his girlfriend and say,
“Looks like we need to head back to school first. Wait for me a moment; I’ll create an incarnation.”
Shen Yuexin clapped her hands and spread them open, also somewhat surprised:
“`
“Then let’s continue next time. We’ve already observed all the planes, so we can take some time to design a better development scheme.”
“Okay.”
Making his girlfriend wait, Lin Xiao’s figure flashed and vanished, reappearing in the Void outside the Moon Xiao main plane.
With closed eyes and a focused mind, a speck of gold light emerged on his forehead.
“Which incarnation should I choose!”
This time, the incarnation he was going to split off wasn’t an ordinary one created with a bit of Divinity and some Divine Power; it was a Divine Position Incarnation that required a Godhood to be peeled away from his True Body.
Only a Demigod with multiple Godhoods qualified to condense such an incarnation. A Demigod with only one Godhood couldn’t do it because once the incarnation was formed, it meant that the Godhood was separated from the True Body. If the incarnation fell without returning, it would mean the loss of that Godhood.
If it was an ordinary Godhood it wouldn’t be so bad, but the disappearance of a primary Godhood would have catastrophic consequences.
Therefore, Lin Xiao really only had the choice between the Creator and Life Godhoods. Truth was his core Godhood, which he could never split off to form an incarnation.
Well, actually, only the Life Godhood was available for separation and condensation. The Creator, though not his core Godhood, was still one of his most important ones, and he couldn’t afford to lose it.
Having made a decision, Lin Xiao took out a full 100 units of Divinity and a whole million points of Divine Power, the majority of what he had accumulated over a long time. But to give this incarnation enough competitive edge and strength, he had to spend that much.
After all, his True Body couldn’t leave this world now, so he could only compete with other elites through this incarnation. If it wasn’t strong, how could it possibly compete?
Fortunately, his control over the Life Godhood was up to 8.14% through the feedback from Gaia’s Origin, a level even higher than that of an average True God. Most elite college students couldn’t match him.
He couldn’t outlast a True Body in a war of attrition, but a short battle was still feasible. Moreover, he could also transfer Divine Power through the Creation Rubik’s Cube and keep abreast of the incarnation’s situation in real time.
As the Life Godhood was stripped away and merged into the golden light sphere formed by the integration of 100 units of Divinity and one million Divine Power, the sphere seemed to come to life. A powerful aura of life emanated from it, slowly forming a golden humanoid.
At the edge of the Moon Xiao Crystal Wall System, a streak of golden light flew out and landed on the platform at the edge of the Crystal Wall System, revealing Lin Xiao’s figure. Shen Yuexin’s eyes widened with curiosity as she examined him, reaching out to curiously pinch his arm and asking,
“Is this a Divine Position Incarnation? It seems to have a powerful aura.”
He laughed and said,
“Of course it’s powerful. It cost me 100 units of Divinity and a million Divine Power to condense. The average elite can’t compare with me.”
“But those who can enter Radiant University are not average elites. You might be bullied like this. If they challenge you, how will you respond?”
“How will I respond? Just like this! Even if it’s only an incarnation, I’m not afraid.”
Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
A Divine Position Incarnation could communicate and govern the Divine Realm just like a True Body. Although an incarnation was weaker than a True Body, its essence was the same, composed of Divinity and Divine Power, a nonliving entity, an extension of his will. At its core, the incarnation contained a split Divine Fire and had the same memories as the True Body.
Even if the incarnation was weaker, it could still crush peers of the same age with the powerful strength of the God Domain dependents.
Watching the Divine Position Incarnation leave with his girlfriend, Lin Xiao, from within the Moon Cloud Realm, withdrew his gaze that had extended through the Crystal Wall and looked up at the Vault of Heaven. On a level only he could perceive, the entire world was collapsing inward at an almost imperceptible speed, with him as the center.
The collapse was very, very slow but steady. In time, he would become a massive Black Hole that devoured the entire Moon Xiao Crystal Wall System, using it as nourishment to grow himself.
“Hmm, let me see how I can maximize the effectiveness of a private realm group.”
Lin Xiao’s consciousness delved into the Moon Cloud Main World, observing it for the first time from the perspective of his private property.
The Moon Xiao main plane was a large plane, about twice the size of the Pacific Ocean, more than two-thirds of the total area of Earth.
The main plane had two continents, one in the south and one in the north. The southern one was the main continent, slightly larger than Russia, with an area of about 20 million square kilometers. The northern continent was half the size of the main continent. Besides these, there were vast seas and numerous islands scattered like stars across the water. The largest of these islands had an area of about a million square kilometers, dominating a huge archipelago, which could be called the third continent if it were only large enough.
There were only two races on the Moon Xiao main plane: Humans occupying the surface and the Native Insect People dwelling underground, the same for both continents.
The main plane was similar to other planes typically encountered in different domains, nothing special about it, despite being the core main plane of the entire Moon Xiao Crystal Wall System.
In Lin Xiao’s eyes, there wasn’t much room for development in this main plane. The mysterious overlord who previously owned it had managed it for an unknown number of years, and just about everything that could be developed had been developed, whether on the surface or underground, except the Ocean.
Now what Lin Xiao had to do was either continue as before, not intervening and just waiting to harvest faith,
or personally intervene in the development of the plane to make it operate according to his ideas.
After careful consideration, he had an idea but couldn’t make up his mind right away.
The main reason was that to intervene according to his idea, given his current strength, would require consuming a significant amount of the Crystal Wall Origin force, and he was somewhat reluctant to do so.
