Age of Evolution#

Chapter 795: Chapter 798: God Transformation

As winter arrived in the Heavenly Ridge, after a blizzard, the temperature plummeted to minus forty degrees.

The door of the Fire Palace creaked open, and Lin Zhen walked out.

As the gate opened, a wave of heat accompanied by a faint starlight gushed out, causing the surrounding cold air to retreat. The clash of cold and hot air currents formed a visible layer of air.

Wiggling his hands and feet after sitting for a long time, Lin Zhen had a hint of joy on his face.

Unexpectedly, just before returning to the Holy Land, he had worked hard to digest the power of the medicine and finally gained the opportunity to devour it, promoting his realm to the Level Nine World King.

His Star Power increased by two million, reaching a total of 52 million.

This was not the data of a World King, nor was it the data of a basic Longevity Stage warrior, it was comparable to a decent Three Flowers Realm warrior.

Looking around, the Fire Kirins didn’t seem to be coping well with the recent drop in temperature due to the lack of volcanic eruptions, preferring to stay inside.

Lin Zhen had arranged the Four Spirits, such as Guang and Dian, to guard the perimeter of the volcano, becoming the secret protective force of the Kirin Clan.

After leaving the palace, Lin Chuang was already waiting outside.

“Chief, our tribe’s population has increased by almost one level recently which is unprecedented. I’ve heard the news that the new Fire Kirins came because they hold you in high esteem.”

With a hint of excitement on his face, Lin Chuang knew the Fire Kirin Clan’s population had been scarce, and their gradual growth was truly thanks to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, pleased with the thriving development of the Fire Kirin Clan.

“Remember what I told you, gather the elite within the clan for training and don’t slack off. Strive to have more members entering the Holy Land next time it opens. A race cannot develop without the support of Holy Land Warriors.”

“I understand, Chief. But isn’t entering the Holy Land based on race recommendations? We previously only had one slot.”

Lin Zhen smiled and replied, “As you said, that was previously. Holy Land Heaven Class students also have recommendation qualifications. The newly promoted top eight students will have recommendation slots – the eighth-ranked student has one slot, and the first-ranked student has eight slots. I’ll recommend suitable candidates when the time comes.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuang’s eyes sparkled, and as a Longevity Stage peak warrior, he too longed to enter the Holy Land.

Lin Zhen patted his shoulder, “Practice hard, and if you can reach Three Flowers before the next Holy Land assessment, I’ll recommend you.”

Lin Chuang nodded without ever doubting Lin Zhen’s ability to enter the Heaven Class.

In his eyes, the Chief was omnipotent, and entering the Heaven Class would be a piece of cake.

“Alright, there haven’t been any major issues in the clan recently, so I’ll be returning to the Holy Land.”

It had been ten months since Lin Zhen returned to the clan, and it was time for him to return to the Holy Land.

In these ten months, Lin Zhen had advanced to Level Eight World King, increased his Spiritual Power to Diamond Level, and was on the verge of understanding the fifth diagram of the Shadowless Step. His progress was unprecedented.

He also transformed the governance of the Kirin Clan, signing a medicine purchase agreement between the Alchemist Guild and the Kirin Clan, ensuring the supply of Elixirs for the clan’s disciples.

The Fire Kirin Clan had no shortage of money, but their relationship with the Alchemist Guild had not been good in the past, and they couldn’t access the best medicines. With Lin Zhen’s arrival, the problem was solved. Lin Zhen himself was the Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild and had a great relationship with the president, not only guaranteeing the supply of medicines but also getting discounts.

With the availability of Elixirs, the Fire Kirin Clan would produce many talents in time.

Furthermore, the safety of the Fire Kirin Clan was no longer an issue. Lin Zhen left the Four Spirits, such as Guang and Dian, in the Fire Kirin Clan, ensuring they could contact him immediately if anything happened.

“Chief, rest assured, there are currently no problems in the clan.”

Lin Zhen nodded, not informing the other members of the Fire Kirin Clan. With a thought, Nine Spirits appeared from the inner world.

After appearing, they did a roll on the spot, and a nine-headed lion, reminiscent of an ancient behemoth, emerged.

At first glance, Nine Spirits appeared to be an exceptionally large lion, but underneath its long mane, eight smaller heads were hidden, revealing their ferociousness only when necessary.

When he had to choose a mount, Lin Zhen hesitated between Nine Spirits and Guang Dian for a while, but eventually opted for the Nine Spirits.

Nine Spirits was slightly slower than Guang Dian, but much stronger. Besides, Guang Dian was one of the Four Spirits, and separating him from the Red Witch and others would be unwise.

Moreover, Nine Spirits’ speed was already incredibly fast, reaching the sub-light speed limit, which was at least twice as fast as the Double-headed Demon Dragon.

With a light jump, Lin Zhen sat on the back of Nine Spirits.

The mane fluttered about, forming a protective layer. Nine Spirits said to Lin Zhen, “Master, once I can advance, I’ll be able to reach the speed of light. By then, if you want to travel to the Original World, I can take you there.”

“Hehe! Alright, I look forward to hitching a ride with you!”

With Lin Zhen’s encouragement, Nine Spirits excitedly spread its claws, stepped onto the clouds, and headed towards Falling Star Lake.

Down on the ground, Lin Chuang waved. Guang and Dian, along with the other Four Spirits, released their Star Power from the four sides of the volcano to bid farewell to their master.

*********

In the Holy Land, a group of warriors gathered in front of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower.

After nearly a year of cultivation, the Holy Land had produced many individuals capable of successfully challenging the tower.

Among the newcomers, the highest-ranked person is Dongfang Yu, a student in the Heaven Class.

Currently, Dongfang Yu has passed the fifth level of the tower, ranking first among all newcomers.

However, Dongfang Yu doesn’t seem too happy, because at this moment, a large list has been pulled out in front of the Holy Land.

This is the newcomer list, including not only Falling Star Lake Holy Land, but also Twin Trees Garden, Freedom City, and Soul Lock Platform.

This is the rule: after all newcomers enter the Holy Land, there will be a comprehensive comparison on the large list during the annual assessment, bringing together newcomers from all four Great Sacred Lands to see which one has the most outstanding talent.

You should know that this is facing all the Original World Holy Lands, and merely being ranked on this list is an enormous honor for the most elite Martial Artists.

There are huge rewards for the top ten on the list.

The reward is a very special thing, called the Divine Stone.

Many people in the Original World do not know about the Divine Stone, and it is not even considered currency, not allowing for circulation.

However, the more high-end Martial Artists are, the more they know about the usefulness of the Divine Stone.

The origin of the Divine Stone is the evolution of the Cosmic Crystal. When a Martial Artist surpasses the Three Flowers Realm, they will enter the God Transformation Realm.

Undergoing the God Transformation Realm, they will become a true Deity, symbolizing the metamorphosis from a Martial Artist to a Deity.

The God Transformation divides: the change in Spiritual Power is called Divine Sense Transformation.

The change in the inner world is called God Realm Transformation.

The change in the World Stone is called Divine Stone Transformation.

Upon completing the three stages of God Transformation, Martial Artists become real Deities, high above, looking down on all beings.

And the only place where Divine Stones are produced is in the realm of Divine Stone Transformation, only attainable by Martial Artists who have reached that stage. When the attempt to become a Deity fails, the Divine Stone will shatter, and the Martial Artist will lose the opportunity to become a Deity forever. Those with weaker strength will directly fall, while those with stronger strength may have a chance to retain their body and become a Demigod.

Each Divine Stone is a massive energy source, with one unit of Divine Stone weighing a thousand grams. Divine Stones can not only continuously supply the power of Martial Artists in the God Transformation Realm but can also unleash Divine Power. One unit of Divine Stone can directly double the fighting power of the Martial Artist!

Of course, few people are willing to use Divine Stones this way, as this thing is too rare, and only appears at the end of the God Transformation Realm, making it extremely precious.

It is not currency, but it has stronger purchasing power than currency.

The exchange rate between Divine Stones and Original World currency is one gram of Divine Stone for one hundred million!

One unit of Divine Stone is equivalent to one hundred billion in Original World currency!

And this thing is almost priceless, and the actual transaction price is definitely higher than this.

This time, the Four Great Sacred Lands are willing to offer Divine Stones as rewards, which excites the Martial Artists.

The overall first place will get two units of Divine Stones, and the remaining second to tenth places will all receive one unit of Divine Stones.

This kind of competition is only held in the first year when newcomers enter the academy, and each Holy Land attaches great importance to it.

Today is the day of the Holy Land assessment, and the crowd swarms in front of the Falling Star Lake’s Thirty-Three Heaven Tower, as the assessment is about to begin.

Fifth Prince Jin Nuo’s eyebrows are slightly furrowed as he watches the students continually attempting to challenge the tower.

Dongfang Yu goes first, but his performance is not great. Although he passed the fifth level, he failed quickly when he faced the Heavenly Lord in the sixth level.

According to previous experience, people who can break through the sixth level can firmly enter the top ten, and completing the fifth level also has the possibility to enter the top ten, but the completion level must be high.

The virtual characters inside the Thirty-Three Heaven Tower have life values. Killing all the opponents’ life values is considered passing. Dongfang Yu only consumed 20% of the Heavenly Lord’s life value, and it seems like there might be no hope for him.

Aiming for the top ten in the overall ranking, it would be a success if any one of the Four Great Sacred Lands could win three spots.

If they can only win two spots, then it is considered a failure.

But Dongfang Yu, who had high expectations from Jin Nuo, didn’t perform well. This time, Falling Star Lake might not even be able to win two spots.

If they only win one spot, then it would be a disgrace.

One by one, the tower challenge scores come out. Another Heaven Class seed player, Sun Yidao, also reached the sixth level, with a completion rate of 33%!

Just barely completing one-third, this score might have had a chance to get the tenth place in previous years, but this year Jin Nuo shakes his head slightly, the situation is not optimistic!

At this time, news from the other Holy Lands keeps coming.

Yang Ye from Freedom City breaks through to the sixth level, with a completion rate of 51%, ranking first!

Zhang Jing from Twin Trees Garden breaks through to the sixth level, with a completion rate of 49%, ranking second!

Wu Qing from Soul Lock Platform breaks through to the sixth level, with a completion rate of 45%, ranking third!

Sun Yidao and Dongfang Yu have both dropped to the fourth and fifth positions, making Jin Nuo’s complexion look even worse.
