Chapter 780

Heaven-Reaching Star Position

"They are coming here?" Chen Ling saw that group of people walking towards the restaurant, his eyebrows slightly raised.

[Audience Expectation Value +2]

At the same time,

Jian Changsheng, with his hands in his pockets, mysteriously came up from the stairs.

"Finished ordering?" Chen Ling saw his malicious smile and knew this guy hadn't done anything good, "... How much did you order?"

"Hehe, guess?"

"..."

"I've already let the kitchen start making it. Once it's served up in a while, you'll know." Jian Changsheng grinned, "I told them, you are paying the bill today. They can just look directly for you to settle the bill later."

"What is this?"

"Seems to be some notice jointly issued by the Five Great Realms."

9 of Spades picked up that notice, and after sweeping a glance, an expression of surprise surfaced on his face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ling asked.

9 of Spades' gaze was somewhat subtle. He cast a glance at that group of black-clothed figures walking into the restaurant, and slowly spoke: "I seem to know... why the people from Hanging Jade Domain appeared here."

He handed the notice to Chen Ling, continuing to speak:

"The Five Great Realms finally have some movement... They respectively dispatched representatives to come to Tianshu Domain to conduct a 'Domain Talk'. As for how to deal with Wuji Domain and the Silver King, it's estimated that there will be a conclusion during this period of time.

However, no matter what, the betrayal of the five Ruling Proxies is a heavy blow to humanity. Therefore, they plan to fill the missing high-end Combat Power at all costs."

"Fill the high-end Combat Power? How to fill it?"

"Exhaust the resources of the Five Great Realms, and support the growth of a batch of young people with extreme potential as soon as possible."

9 of Spades unhurriedly took a sip of water. "To cultivate a batch of existences capable of rivaling the five Ruling Proxies within a short period of time is not a simple matter... Even if the Five Great Realms mobilize all their background foundations, they can only piece together seven quotas in total, which they call [Heaven-Reaching Star Position].

Getting the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] means having all Human Domains as a backing. Not only receiving immense support in money, resources, and status, but also having dedicated personnel to lead the way into the depths of the corresponding Divine Dao Ancient Repository, exploring the hidden secrets of the Divine Pathways. Besides this, they can also each select one special item containing a Divine Path Foundation obtained by humanity from various Divine Dao Ancient Repositories... This treatment is exactly the same as the five Ruling Proxies.

However... these are not the most important."

"These are still not important??" Jian Changsheng's eyes widened. "Then what is considered important?"

To Ordinary People, these conditions were already unimaginable. Let alone money, resources, and status, just having dedicated personnel leading into the depths of an Ancient Vault was an irresistible super temptation... Perhaps it sounded abstract, but one had to know that the Bai Qi on Jian Changsheng's body now, and the Theater Dao Secret Method on Chen Ling's body, both came from the depths of their corresponding Ancient Vaults.

As for special items containing a Divine Path Foundation, those were even more important background foundations of the Human Domains. For example, that piece of in the Second Hall almost caused Chen Ling and [Eight of Clubs] to lose their lives on the spot.

"These seven individuals possessing the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] will bear a portion of humanity's destiny."

9 of Spades' expression was unprecedentedly serious. "The theory of destiny is illusory and ethereal... but it indeed has existed since ancient times. For example, the former destiny of a country was called national destiny. The rise and fall of a country had a great relationship with its national destiny. Although there is no division of 'countries' nowadays, all destinies are gathered together, presented in the form of humanity's destiny.

Being able to bear humanity's destiny, even if it's just a trace, one will soar to the sky, Turning Calamity into Blessing, and have all wishes come true..."

"Behind the Heaven-Reaching Star Position is the destiny of all humanity?" Chen Ling's brows furrowed slightly. "Is it that exaggerated?"

"Not exaggerated at all. Humanity's destiny has already been heavily traumatized after experiencing the Great Cataclysm. As for the former Nine Great Realms, the destroyed were destroyed, the dying are dying, the betraying betrayed... Counting it all up, now only Five Great Realms remain. This is precisely the manifestation of the decline of humanity's destiny.

If they don't do something more, I'm afraid it won't be long before humanity... truly has no future."

Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng exchanged a glance, thoughtful.

"So, those people from Hanging Jade Domain coming over this time..."

"Are here to compete for the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position]." 9 of Spades continued to speak,

"Not just Hanging Jade Domain. During the period when the Domain Talk is progressing, the Five Great Realms jointly hold the 'Trial of Stars' in Tianshu Domain. It faces all Divine Path Possessors. Whether it's official Divine Path organizations of the Domains, or scattered civilian Divine Path Possessors, all can participate.

However, the requirement for applicants is to be under twenty-five years old, and their Rank above Third Tier... Oh, when registering, you also have to pay a thirty kuai registration fee."

Jian Changsheng blinked, silently raising his hand:

"Can the Dusk Society participate?"

"What do you say?"

"..."

"What the Five Great Realms want to cultivate are heaven-chosen talents capable of bearing humanity's future... If they cultivate to the end and find out that what they cultivated is a lunatic wanting to restart the era, it's estimated that the higher-ups would all vomit blood from anger."

Hearing this, Jian Changsheng let out a helpless long sigh... He didn't care about the rest, but that humanity's destiny capable of letting him 'Defying Fate', he really wanted it so much... In this life, he didn't even know how to write the words 'Turning Calamity into Blessing' and 'soaring to the sky'.

Before his depressed emotions could brew, 9 of Spades paused for a while, and leisurely spoke:

"But having said that...

We are not like the Scarlet Heaven Cult, Integration Faction, and Fire-Stealers. The first two don't have Divine Pathways and will be recognized at a glance. Any participant with the Path of the Thief will definitely also be specially supervised... But if people from the Dusk Society participate, who would know you are from the Dusk Society?"

The moment this sentence came out, Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng both froze.

When they saw the corners of 9 of Spades' mouth unconsciously curling up into an arc, the expressions of the two instantly became extremely wonderful!

Good, good, good.

That Red Heart 9 was openly crazy. This 9 of Spades was secretly holding devious intentions in his stomach!

"So... the organization doesn't reject us from participating in this trial whatever?" Jian Changsheng carefully asked.

"The Dusk Society never interferes with the daily actions of its members."

9 of Spades smiled slightly. "Also... I am very clear about the nature of these people in the Dusk Society. If we have this thought, others have probably also thought of it... How do you know that among these people who have already registered, there are no people of ours?"

Looking at 9 of Spades' smile, a premonition suddenly arose in Chen Ling's heart... Could it be that among the people who had already registered, not only were there people from the Dusk Society, but the number was also quite large??

This Trial of Stars of the Five Great Realms, wouldn't it end up turning into Team Building for the Dusk Society??

Jian Changsheng was so happy he couldn't close his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a long time, only giving 9 of Spades a fierce thumbs-up, "Genius! The people in our Dusk Society, every single one of them is a f*cking genius!"
