The princes and princesses at least four stages and got golden lights for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few even crossed six stages and got a dark golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one among them cleared the seventh stage and got a pale red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the short but marvelous history of mankind, there were even instances of dark red and even scarlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of these were accomplished by triple awakeners—they were low-level and polished to the peak by experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they got the rewards, everyone was pleasantly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the federation floundered their wealth on another set of triple awakeners to clear the tenth stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even after spending tonnes of resources, countless manpower, and a lot of time, the tenth stage was never cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowly became a legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, that very legend was broken by the living legend in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man looked to be in his twenties, with brown hair and blue eyes. Despite clearing the legendary stage, he didn't seem tired, much less injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Senior!\" Princess Ria called out in a humble tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princes and princesses behind her also leaned forward, looking at him eagerly but always maintaining a respectful posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? It's you guys.\" Varian raised a brow at the princeling gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he didn't show it, he was surprised. Not because of their presence, but of his own reaction to their presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These princes and princesses were all peak level 7s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arguably, he was still weaker than them. But he could sense that they weren't capable of killing him. He couldn't beat them yet, but he could surely escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was because these princes were all in their thirties and almost two decades over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was a newly promoted prince, Varian was sure to mow the ground with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heck, even if it was a typical level 7 prince, Varian was confident of overwhelming him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these people…especially this platinum-haired woman, she was significantly stronger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem.\" Princess Ria coughed to adjust her posture and asked in a polite tone. \"We saw the purple light, did you clear the tenth stage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Varian said with a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Everyone was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was fiddling with the lighting of the gate. It seems like it's working pretty well.\" Varian nodded to himself as if appreciating his own work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Haha, you have a good sense of humor.\" Prince Kane from Earth stepped forward and looked Varian in the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This guy…he is master's apprentice.' Varian recognized him. Prince Kane had a short but welcoming conversation with him during the solar banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, as the future pillars of humanity, this is a really joyous matter for us. So, we request you to give us more insight into what happened.\" Prince Kane took another step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian frowned and didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We aren't trying to be hostile, but we just want to ensure your identity or at least that you aren't hostile to the federation.\" Prince Kane raised his hands and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He meant what he said. But no matter how well his intentions were, they were in direct conflict with Varian's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We know all the level 7 and level 8 princes.\" Prince Kane said slowly. \"You can just reveal your special code and everything will be clear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princes and princesses straightened their backs at his words. Indeed, this was too strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he crossed the tenth stage, he should definitely be at least a peak level 7. But they hadn't seen any prince with this face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to avoid offending the other party, they asked for a special code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every prince had a special device that generated a special code every 24 hours. It was a very complex code and couldn't be hacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefit of this code was to maintain your own anonymity while proving your identity as a prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was done to avoid favoritism and other discrimination as well as to prevent drawing hatred to princes when they undertake dangerous missions and offend powerful enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian crossed his arms and looked at them with a judging expression. It was as if he was watching a pathetic show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princes and princesses were enraged at his behavior, but it also prevented them from acting rashly. That was also Varian's goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Now how the fuck do I get out of here without making a scene?' Varian began to rummage through his memories for any potential solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your standing as a prince will be greatly elevated. You will be seen as the next Sovereign, no, even higher than that.\" Prince Kane continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian didn't budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just the special code, senior.\" Prince Kane pressed further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princes and princesses also began to feel suspicious. It was only a code. Not the real identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you not even a level 7?\" Princess Ria suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air stilled and everyone's eyes locked onto Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes. That was indeed a possibility. If he wasn't a level 7, he wouldn't have the code. There was also a good chance they wouldn't know him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princes and princesses stepped forward and clenched their fists. Unless he proved his affiliation to a human-friendly power like the adventure guild or military, they were ready to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's a high chance he wasn't a level 7, so, it was going to be a cakewalk…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Level 7?\" Varian smirked and glanced at the thirty young men and women. \"Kids, how about you all try to gauge my level? Feel free to run your senses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian raised his arms in invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ominous premonition rose in everyone's hearts, but they still spread their senses onto him and checked for his level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I can't feel anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's blank.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He should either be unawakened or much stronger than us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I think we offended someone we shouldn't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they muttered from shock, Varian stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flinch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone flinched and stepped back, except Prince Kane and Princess Ria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian looked at them with a smile. \"I'm not a prince, but this should give you answers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers and a badge shot out to Kane and Ria. Their senses quickly scanned it and their jaws dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ria and Kane were stupified while the rest stared at the badge with wide eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian waved his hand and the badge disappeared. Then, he calmly walked down the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His parting words lingered in the air. \"This is a secret mission. Only report this to your upper echelon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1091,"2026-06-06T07:58:24.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","078778dd60aab12647f8edf51fca1fac25b1f06c352bae55f3c899a1b576eb0a","divine-path-system-chapter-558","divine-path-system-chapter-556",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
