Chapter 953: Sovereigns (Requesting Monthly Votes)

If you hadn't communicated with Master Lei Zun.

A powerful Sovereign wanting to take you as a disciple is like a cake falling from the sky.

He might have outright accepted it.

But his mindset is no longer the same.

No matter how strong a Sovereign is, they cannot compare to the Supreme Beings—they exist on entirely different levels.

Even if the strongest Sovereign offered to take him as a disciple, he would still be reluctant.

So he organized his words and said:

“Senior Ren Huang, thank you for your kindness.”

“But as I understand, every Legendary Genius has the chance to become a disciple of a Supreme Being.”

“As long as they pass the trial…”

“So I’m sorry…”

Lin Qi chose to decline.

On Ren Huang’s handsome face, upon hearing Lin Qi’s refusal, he froze, then his expression darkened:

“Member Lin Qi, there are many things you may not know.”

“Becoming a disciple of a Supreme Being is not easy at all.”

“In the past, Legendary Geniuses found it easy to take a master.”

“But since the two Supreme Beings stopped taking disciples, the difficulty has skyrocketed.”

“Although it’s said that every Legendary Genius has a chance—if they pass the trial—they can become a disciple of a Supreme Being.”

“Yet in the past million years, over a dozen Legendary Geniuses have failed, and only one succeeded.”

“All the other Legendary Geniuses failed.”

“In the end, they could only become disciples of the Six Cosmic Realms Sovereigns—but most of their teachers were already Sovereigns who had received the best cultivation resources, yet still failed.”

“To be honest, while your talent is decent,”

“among the dozen or so Legendary Geniuses, you’re not particularly outstanding.”

“And your own teacher is merely an Invincible.”

“To be honest, your chances of passing the Supreme Being’s trial are extremely slim.”

“You’ll fail anyway!”

“It’s better to become my father’s disciple—it’s far more practical.”

“Your probability of breaking through to the Sixth Cosmic Realm will also be greater.”

After hearing this, Lin Qi understood the process a little better.

He now had some grasp of the difficulty.

Legendary Genius—this talent level is not low.

His own teacher, Lei Zun, was also one—and he too failed.

Among them, only one succeeded; he guessed it was most likely Yan Zun.

Currently the strongest Invincible among humans.

To become a disciple of a Supreme Being is this difficult?

Yet he had absolute confidence in his own talent.

If others couldn’t do it, that didn’t mean he couldn’t.

So he spoke: “You must try before you can know whether you can or not.”

“Maybe I’ll be the one who passes the trial.”

After hearing this, Ren Huang shook his head and drained his wine cup in one gulp.

Then he said: “Having confidence in yourself is good.”

“It seems you won’t turn back until you’ve suffered a blow.”

“Then I wish you success in passing the trial.”

“But the chance to become my father’s disciple won’t come again—after you fail, my father may not accept you anymore.”

“Do as you think best.”

Lin Qi nodded and immediately logged off.

After he left,

the black-skinned beauty poured Ren Huang another cup of wine.

He sipped the wine with clear disdain: “Everyone wants to become a disciple of a Supreme Being.”

“Everyone says the success rate is too low.”

“Everyone thinks they’ll be the one who succeeds.”

“Yet when they fail, they come crawling back, humiliated.”

“The past hundred thousand years, Lin Qi is the only one who chose to become a disciple of a Fifth Cosmic Realm Sovereign.”

“He’s the only one whose talent improved steadily over time.”

“All other Legendary Geniuses arrived at the Sacred Land as top-tier talents and were snapped up by Sixth Cosmic Realm Sovereigns.”

“A trip to the Abyss Ruins, gaining a boost—enough to become a Legendary Genius.”

“Yet over so many years, only Yan Zun succeeded—because the requirements are simply too high.”

“Unfortunately, that one won’t lower the standard, and no one dares ask him to.”

“Sometimes, for a Legendary Genius, coming to the Sacred Land might be a mistake.”

With that, he silently took another sip of wine.

A large screen projected before him, revealing a figure shrouded in endless golden and colorful energy.

“Father, I spoke with Lin Qi.”

“He refused. He wants to become a disciple of a Supreme Being.”

A cold voice came from the other side:

“Normal. Legendary Geniuses are different from other talents.”

“They carry their own burdens.”

“If I were him, I’d make the same choice.”

“There’s nothing to blame.”

“Let him try. Even if he fails, he can still become a disciple of us Sixth Cosmic Realm Sovereigns.”

Ren Huang leaned back on the sofa, relaxed:

“Alright, then let’s see what this genius Lin Qi is truly capable of.”

…

In Tianhai Residence.

Lin Qi opened his eyes in the training ground.

“Phew~”

He exhaled, recalling the previous conversation in his mind.

He immediately activated his smart device and contacted his teacher, Lei Zun, projecting a blue screen before him.

Moments later, Lei Zun’s imposing face appeared on the other side.

“Lin Qi, what is it?”

“Master…”

Lin Qi recounted everything that had just happened.

Lei Zun snorted: “That Ren Huang dares to look down on you, a Legendary Genius?”

“Who doesn’t know how he got his Invincible power?”

“Xuan Jin Sovereign has over a dozen offspring, some talented, some not.”

“This Ren Huang’s talent is the worst—he couldn’t awaken his ability on his own.”

“But because he was favored by Xuan Jin Sovereign, he was given endless resources to artificially boost his talent.”

“Forced him up to Star Domain-level talent.”

“He barely did anything—everything was already prepared for him.”

“He smoothly advanced to the Fourth Cosmic Realm, then spent countless cultivation resources to break through to the Fifth Cosmic Realm.”

“Only then did he barely gain Invincible-level power.”

“The resources spent on him could have trained several Invincibles.”

“And this guy doesn’t even like cultivating—he only likes indulging.”

“Many envy, resent, and hate him.”

Lin Qi listened with interest—he hadn’t expected Ren Huang’s nickname, so sharp, to mean he was actually a fraud.

Lei Zun continued:

“But Xuan Jin Sovereign is indeed a suitable master for you.”

“His own power is very strong, ranking among the top in the Sovereigns.”

“But since you aim to become a disciple of the Supreme Being, don’t dwell on these things.”

“In the coming period, many Sovereigns will likely approach you.”

“They probably already know you intend to become a disciple of the Supreme Being, so their expectations when they come to you won’t be high.”

It’s most likely just a simple meeting with you.

They’re waiting for you to fail, so they can prioritize themselves as the Dominators.

Talking more with the Dominators isn’t a bad thing for you.

Lin Qi nodded and said:

I understand.

After finishing the call with Master Lei Zun.

Lin Qi returned to his cultivation.

Indeed, before the day had even passed, another being of the Sixth Cosmic Realm arrived.

But still, it was a being of the Fifth Cosmic Realm, representing the Dominators, who came for a meeting.
