I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 225: First In 10,000 Years, Divine Firmament Saint

In the arena, a lady wearing rainbow clothes glistened faintly.

Her body was enshrouded by a radiant golden light. She was dignified and elegant, and no attacks could hit her.

That’s right, this lady was Kong Meng.

She had already won against more than one four-star prodigies in the God of War Pagoda, and her understanding of the Rainbow Divine Light had increased greatly.

Even the God of War Tablet had recognized her potential and officially categorized her in the Five-Star Prodigies’ list.

However, Kong Meng was discontented. She had challenged a five-star prodigy once, but she was at a disadvantage in the battle, and it was difficult for her to fight back.

Kong Meng was not a weakling that could not accept defeat. She knew that there was still some distance between her and the five-star prodigies in the Celestial World.

Meanwhile, she was only ranked 12th on the God of War Tablet.

That was to say, in the past 10,000 years people had entered the God of War Pagoda, there were quite a few more powerful than her while in the same cultivation level.

“Indeed, being invincible within my generation in the Southern Border is far from enough. There’s always someone better!”

Kong Meng turned her Rainbow Divine Light into a heavenly sword and sliced the four-star prodigy illusion in front of her.

“Although the speed at which the divine light blade is swung has improved, it’s still not enough. I should be able to go faster!

“Why hasn’t Brother Shen started clearing the trials after so many days? We did enter the God of War Pagoda together.”

No one was clearer than Kong Meng about Shen Tian’s talent.

One had to know, with Kong Meng’s cultivation level, she could even suppress a Nascent Soul Blood Demon at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian had been able to kill a total of five Nascent Soul Blood Demons in a short period of time at the Foundation Establishment stage, although he did rely on attacking their weakness.

However, Kong Meng was very clear that Shen Tian was much more talented than she was.

From Kong Meng’s point of view, she felt that the Divine Firmament Saint should be able to at least enter the top three of the God of War Tablet!

Just as she had such a thought, she focused her attention on the tablet as she realized her ranking had changed.

It did not rise, but instead, it fell.

Her ranking had dropped from 12th to 13th, which represented that someone had risen to above her.

“It’s Brother Shen! There’s no one else with even talent to rise above me besides him amongst those that have accompanied us.”

Kong Meng’s eyes shone brightly as she looked towards the God of War Tablet in anticipation. “What is his ranking?”

“Not the 12th.”

“Not the 11th.”

“Not the 10th.”

“Not the 9th.”

...

“He’s still not the 3rd!”

Kong Meng’s eyes were filled with astonishment as she looked at the second place of the God of War Tablet.

She saw the golden name carved on it.

“2nd: Shen Tian, Five-Star Prodigy”

He had directly become the first in the Five Star Prodigy rankings, only lower than the only six-star prodigy Huang Shi in the past 10,000 years?

Saint Shen Tian is truly amazing. He is indeed the man I acknowledged!

Kong Meng’s face was filled with a satisfied smile. “With such talent, the elders should not have any oppositions.”

Kong Meng could feel that her understanding of Rainbow Divine Light had deepened, improving to the next level with a clear mind.

After sitting down cross-legged and meditating for a moment, she gradually opened her eyes. “Pagoda Spirit, please continue to help me arrange for a five-star prodigy!”

Since Brother Shen had already become the second, I cannot fall behind by too much!

Just after finishing, she saw that the name in the second place had flashed once again.

That’s right, Shen Tian’s name had appeared as the first on the God of War Tablet.

“First: Shen Tian, Seven-Star Prodigy”

Even if Kong Meng had tried her best to overestimate Shen Tian, she was still so dumbfounded she could not speak.

A Seven-Star Prodigy???

What did this mean?

One had to know, the God of War Pagoda was quite famous in the Eastern Wilderness.

Basically, in the Primordial Battlefield’s Trial once every five years, there would be a large number of disciples searching for the God of War Pagoda.

Even some geniuses from Southern Border, North Sea, West Desert, and Middle Ground would also join the search for the God of War Pagoda to enter the trial.

This “Huang Shi” who was originally first in the God of War Pagoda was such an example. He had been a peerless genius from the Middle Ground 8,000 years ago.

He had been the only person to be evaluated as a six-star prodigy in the God of War Pagoda, far ahead of everyone.

Meanwhile, in the past 8,000 years, he had also not let down the God of War Pagoda’s evaluation—he had been indeed invincible in the five regions.

However, someone surpassed Huang Shi now. He was no longer the first in the God of War Tablet but underneath Shen Tian.

What did this mean?

That meant Shen Tian could become the second Huang Shi, or he even had the potential to surpass Huang Shi!?

If such a piece of news were to be spread, the whole five regions would most likely be shocked since Huang Shi’s influence was just too huge!

,000 years had passed, not to mention Huang Shi himself, but even the disciples of his disciples had become powerful cultivators leading their own forces.

If people were to know that Shen Tian had surpassed Huang Shi in the God of War Pagoda, then Shen Tian would definitely become the focus of the five regions and become famous all over!

Kong Meng’s eyes lit up. “As expected of you, Brother Shen!”

...

In another arena, Little Spirit Fairy walked at a slow pace. Each step she took would form a Spirit Qi lotus flower on the ground.

The enemy swung his longsword and kept chasing Xiao Ling, but he was unable to even touch one strand of her hair.

When Little Spirit Fairy took her 36th step, the 35 lotus flowers shone brightly and formed a huge array formation.

A brilliant azure lotus flower bloomed on the arena, and countless petals started raining down.

The hairpin on Little Spirit Fairy’s hair suddenly shone with magnificent brilliance, and a fiery phoenix flew out of it.

The prodigy in front of her had disappeared under the attack of the blade-like petals and fiery phoenix.

Phew!

Little Spirit Fairy heaved a sigh of relief.

After battling for nine days and nights, she finally defeated a three-star prodigy, although it was a lucky win this time as Little Spirit Fairy could subdue the opponent’s fighting style

Also, she had borrowed the strength of mystic technique Deity Peering Art to temporarily increase her Spirit Qi, so she had not relied on her own strength completely.

Even so, it was extremely rare for her to defeat a three-star prodigy as, until now, a certain golden eagle had been unable to do so.

As for whether one’s battle style would be at a disadvantage or advantage, luck was also part of one’s strength!

Xiao Ling smiled brightly; such a battle where she could clearly feel herself getting stronger was indeed addictive.

At that moment, she took a look at the God of War Tablet at the side of the arena.

When she saw Shen Tian’s name appearing as the first on the God of War Tablet, the originally Xiao Ling’s relaxed body stiffened again.

“I am not strong enough! Only with enough power could I have the qualifications to stand beside Brother Shen!”

...

At the third arena, the afterimages of Eunuch Gui could be seen.

He held a soft sword in his hand, and his body was filled with azure lightning, which was the Cosmos II Divine Lightning (Wood).

Currently, he could already combine the strength from the Cosmos II Divine Lightning (Wood) and Demon Book of Hyuga to increase his speed even more.

He pierced his sword forward, and the whole place was filled with the illusions of swords, confusing his opponent, thus dying from the dazzling number of swords.

Clang!

He sheathed his spirit sword as the two-star prodigy gradually disappeared.

Eunuch Gui’s strength had improved greatly due to the fortuitous opportunity that Shen Tian had given him and his own hard work in the past nine days.

Or it could be said that everyone around Shen Tian had improved by leaps and bounds!

At that moment, Eunuch Gui also looked toward the God of War Tablet. He saw that resplendent name in the first place and revealed a smile of relief.

“As expected of His Highness! He was able to become the first among all the geniuses from the past 10,000 years!

“His Highness is this promising! If Concubine Lan knew, then she would finally rest in peace.”

...

Currently, in the God of War Pagoda, everyone was astonished by the change in the God of War Tablet.

From their point of view, Shen Tian could surpass all the previous geniuses of the same cultivation level while being the strongest in their generation—they also shared his honor!

However, on the 7th floor of the God of War Pagoda, Shen Tian was furious.

Senior, what do you mean!?

WTF do you mean first in the God of War Tablet? How do you decide the rankings?

Wasn’t it fair and just without any possibility of it being rigged!?

I only defeated the Five-Star Prodigy Xin Qingyi! Forget it if you directly evaluate me as a five-star prodigy since I did kill him in one shot, so I’ll allow you to rank me higher.

But directly ranking me as the second in the overall ranking and first in the Five-Star Prodigy rankings, even surpassing my Master and Martial Uncle, just what are you thinking!?

So you want the deck to be stacked against me by my seniors!?

If it’s just this, then forget it. But didn’t I lose when fighting in the second battle with my Master when he was young?

Can’t you see that I have been beaten up without being able to retaliate at all?

I can’t even defeat my Master, the Sacred Leader, this five-star prodigy, so how could you just directly evaluate me as a seven-star prodigy?

Did you learn how to rank from the entertainment circle!?

My ranking is even higher than Huang Shi! Do you know how amazing he is now? What if his disciples and the disciples of his disciples learn of this and find trouble with me? Then how can I continue keeping a low profile!?

Sensing the resentment in Shen Tian’s eyes, the purple-clothed Ye Qingcang touched his beard and smiled as he waved his hand.

Suddenly, an ancient azure tablet appeared in front of Shen Tian.

Ye Qingcang pointed at the bottom right corner of the tablet; small words were carved there.

“This ranking is obtained through a comprehensive evaluation. The interpretation rights of the final ranking belong to the God of War Pagoda.”

Shen Tian, “???”

WTF do you mean the interpretation rights of the final ranking belongs to the God of War Pagoda? Just look at what you did now! You still have the face to say you’re absolutely fair and just?

Shen Tian asked helplessly, “Senior, just how did you see that my talent is worthy of the title ‘Seven-Star Prodigy’?”

Ye Qingcang said as if it was a matter of course, “You’re almost as handsome as when I was young. How could your potential not be high?”

Shen Tian replied, “Is it possible that the ranking for the God of War Tablet has no objective comparison, and it’s all decided by you?”

Ye Qingcang nodded. “I am from the Celestial World, is this not persuasive enough?”

Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. “Are there really people who would believe in this current ranking?”

Ye Qingcang smiled faintly. “Whether they believe or not, you really don’t know, do you?”

Shen Tian, “...”

After sensing the change in Shen Tian’s emotions, Ye Qingcang smiled and said, “You don’t need to panic.

“Wasn’t it already written at the bottom of the God of War Tablet? The interpretation rights of the final ranking belong to the God of War Pagoda.

“That is to say, if you accept this God of War Pagoda and become its master, then the ranking would be decided by you, no?

“By then, you can rank yourself anywhere you like, or even don’t appear in the rankings. Then there will be no need to worry anymore.”

Shen Tian gnashed his teeth upon seeing how cunningly Ye Qingcang was smiling.

This old man is obviously digging a trap for me to jump into!

You’re at least a powerful Immortal artifact, so is there a need for you to want me to become your master so badly?

I only have a red and green halo on my head now!

This fortuitous opportunity is too much for my halo to handle!
