Chapter 648: The Heavenly Court's Kexue Kaoshi: Becoming a Deity Through Examination

"The Divine Position system? Controlling the authority of a region?"

"And one can also gain the protection of Luck, increasing cultivation efficiency?"

"If that is the case, wouldn't the position of a city lord be something people fight tooth and nail for?"

Zhu Immortal King instantly perceived the formidable nature of this Divine Position system.

In the Immortal World, treasures that can assist an immortal's cultivation are truly few and far between.

If refining a Divine Seal could produce such effects, one could only imagine how many immortals would swarm over.

After all, for an immortal, even a slight increase in cultivation efficiency is a tremendous boon.

Even if the price to pay were great, it would still be worth it.

"It is indeed something people fight tooth and nail for."

"Ever since the effects of the Divine Seal became known, countless immortals have wanted to join the Heavenly Court, become officials, and refine a Divine Seal."

"The pity is, wanting to join the Heavenly Court as an official is not such a simple matter."

"It is strictly a selection of the best among the best."

"Therefore, every once in a while, the Heavenly Court holds a Kexue, letting countless immortals come to take the exam."

"Only those immortals who pass the exam can enter the Heavenly Court to serve as officials."

"Basically, it only happens once every million years."

"This is also regarded by countless immortals as an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate."

Li Zhangchun said.

Every time he saw the Heavenly Court Kexue Kaoshi being held, he was filled with shock.

Countless immortals would sign up for the Kexue Kaoshi; it could be described as thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Once successful, it is a leap over the dragon gate, representing that the Great Dao is within reach.

No matter how low one's status or position was before, if one becomes a Heavenly Court official, one is a cut above the rest.

The future is also boundlessly bright.

"This."

Hearing these words, Zhu Immortal King was stunned, feeling it was somewhat incredible; this seemed somewhat similar to the Kexue Kaoshi of mortal dynasties in the mortal world, and he had not expected it to be implemented in the Heavenly Court of the Immortal World as well.

However, this is indeed an effective method.

After all, there are so many excellent immortals in the Immortal World, and every one of them wants to enter the Heavenly Court to be an official.

In this way, it is naturally necessary to conduct a selection and hold a Kexue Kaoshi.

Once one becomes a Heavenly Court official, one is above all other immortals, which can be described as having a boundlessly bright future.

That it is good to cultivate within the Heavenly Court has become the consensus of countless immortals.

"Moreover, becoming a city lord of a region is not just about having the ability to assist in cultivation."

"Because one controls the authority of a region, it is as if one controls all the power of this place."

"This also enables the officials of the Heavenly Court to wield powerful strength, sufficient to suppress everything."

"They can be called the strongest immortals of this place."

"If anyone dares to cause trouble within the city, they will be instantly apprehended by the city lord."

"Therefore, the interiors of the major cities in the Immortal World are now extremely safe, and no one dares to cause trouble anymore."

"As for things like killing to seize treasures, they have even become extinct and are extremely rare."

Many Qingyun Sect Cultivators discussed the matter heatedly.

They also felt that the changes in the Immortal World over the last billion years were truly too great.

Before, no matter which city or region in the Immortal World, it was actually quite dangerous.

If one were not careful, one might be targeted by criminals and killed for their treasures.

But ever since the Divine Position system became widespread, similar murder cases have basically become extinct.

Because a city lord can control the affairs of a region, they can perceive everyone's aura, and can even know what happened in this area over the past period of time.

Therefore, no matter what case occurs, the city lord can instantly know and thereby find the culprit.

This is equivalent to installing countless surveillance cameras in the city, and the kind without any blind spots at that.

Consequently, this also leaves many immortals with lingering fears, and no one has a mentality of taking chances anymore.

Even if there is malice deep in their hearts, as long as they think of the consequences, no one dares to take action within the city, which also makes the city's public security increasingly safe.

Now, there are even occurrences of people not picking up lost items on the road and not locking their doors at night, which is truly inconceivable.

"No wonder the many cities I passed through had such excellent public security."

"So it was all because of the Divine Position system?"

"If such Heavenly Court deities are spread across every corner of the Immortal World, then naturally no one would dare to act rashly."

Zhu Immortal King suddenly realized.

Originally, he was also an Immortal King who hated evil as if it were his enemy, and he most despised others being corrupt and breaking the law.

Therefore, once he discovered someone violating the immortal rules and laws, he would be merciless and execute them on the spot.

The pity is that no matter how many people he killed, the Immortal World never changed, and the atmosphere of the Human Race did not change much either.

At most, no one would violate them at the beginning, but as soon as some time passed, it would revive again.

This also made Zhu Immortal King feel very desperate, not knowing how to put an end to such things.

Who could have imagined that the emergence of the Divine Position system would actually cause such earth-shaking changes in the Immortal World.

Originally, this should have been the future he dreamed of, but now it has actually been realized by Xuanhuang Immortal King.

He did not even know what he should say.

"Of course no one dares to take action."

"Even if the other party is truly powerful, they might be able to escape the City Lord's pursuit."

"However, the Immortal World is vast, and it is basically all under the rule of the Heavenly Court."

"Once the Heavenly Court issues a wanted order, the culprit has simply nowhere to hide."

"Even if they hide at the ends of the earth, it is a dead end."

"In any case, over the past billion years, every criminal who violated the Heavenly Laws has been captured and brought to justice, without exception."

"This also makes countless criminals feel despair."

"If they have committed a crime, they would rather choose to stay where they are and surrender voluntarily, hoping for a lighter sentence."

Many Qingyun Sect Cultivators said with immense pride.

Without a doubt, this is the might of the current Heavenly Court; like a secular autocratic empire, it wields immense power.

With a single command, all immortals must obey.

"The development of the Heavenly Court is even more rapid and formidable than imagined."

Zhu Immortal King did not even know what to say.

Although the previous Heavenly Court could be considered an organization that managed the Human Race, it could at most only manage the Central Immortal Domain.

As for other major human provinces, the Heavenly Court had no way to manage them.

After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away; the Heavenly Court's reach was limited.

Generally speaking, it was all chaotic fighting among various feudal lords, each independent of the other.

To a certain extent, the Heavenly Court was instead similar to a parliamentary organization, where no one submitted to anyone else.

But now, the Heavenly Court has become an absolute dictator, consolidating all power.

Even because of the power of the Dream World, the Heavenly Court's rule has extended not just to every major province, but even to every city, and even every village.

In short, within the Immortal World, even the air belongs to the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.

And this is also thanks to the development of the Divine Position system.

It is precisely because of the invincible gods that the Heavenly Court's control over the Immortal World has reached such a degree.

At the same time, no matter what happens locally, it can be reported to the Heavenly Court immediately.

Even if someone rebels locally, these gods can suppress them immediately.

This basically eliminates any possibility of rebellion.

So over these years, the Immortal World has also become increasingly stable and safe.

Compared to before, it is simply completely different.

"If so, does that mean that outside of our Human Territory, places like the Demon Race also have human gods?"

Zhu Immortal King asked curiously.

He felt that it was very normal for the Heavenly Court's influence to cover the Human Territory.

After all, the Heavenly Court's power was originally the imperial court of the Human Race.

But as for the Demon Race, the Devil Race, and other places, it is not as simple as imagined.

The cultivators of those races are all unruly.

Making them submit to the Heavenly Court's jurisdiction is not an easy task.

Perhaps they would stir up rebellions at every turn.

By then, just suppressing these rebellions would consume an unknown amount of the Heavenly Court's energy.

In this way, where would there be time to think about how to deal with the Dark Race?

"This point is not a problem at all."

"In fact, when the Heavenly Court gods moved into these Alien territories, they were of course very unaccustomed to it at first."

"But they did not show much resistance."

"As time went on, they also followed the rules of the Heavenly Court."

"And it is not just our Human Race that can become gods; Aliens can also become gods."

"Now is actually an era of coexistence for ten thousand races."

Li Zhangchun said in a deep voice.

He actually felt very strange about this point as well.

Previously, he also thought that it would not be easy for the Heavenly Court to rule other races.

If one were not careful, it might even provoke resistance from various races.

But the progress of things was even smoother than imagined.

As long as the Heavenly Court moved into these cities, no Alien immortal resisted anything.

Everything was so natural and smooth.

Of course, the reason why the progress was so smooth naturally has a great deal to do with the power of the Dream Soul Gu and the power of the Dream World.

The Dream Soul Gu can tamper with the memories of cultivators of various races and hypnotize them, making them accept the rule of the Heavenly Court.

After all, Zhou Sui did not have time to suppress rebellions everywhere.

To avoid such things from happening, it was better to use the power of the Dream Soul Gu to hypnotize all these Alien cultivators.

The result was just as Zhou Sui had expected: the Heavenly Court very smoothly subdued all races.

Once this system was completely formed, the immortals of all races also became accustomed to living under this system.

Even if any Alien immortal wanted to say something, it was already too late.

The power of the Divine Position system was like a net, covering the entire Immortal World, and even every corner of it.

However, this is also a reason that only Zhou Sui knows; other immortals cannot possibly know.

They will only feel that things are progressing very smoothly, perhaps having received the protection of the Heavenly Dao.

After all, this kind of thing has immense benefits for all Immortals, so naturally, no one would refuse.

"That Xuanhuang Immortal King's methods are no small matter."

"Not only is his combat power formidable, but he is also extremely skilled at management."

Zhu Immortal King felt that this Xuanhuang Immortal King was simply the perfect leader; his combat power was tyrannical, his rewards and punishments were measured, he had gained the admiration and love of countless Immortals, and he managed the Heavenly Court in an orderly fashion.

Sometimes, an Immortal King with powerful combat strength is not necessarily skilled at management.

Just like him, he is actually not skilled at managing a sect or managing the Heavenly Court.

To a certain extent, he is merely a battle general, only knowing how to use slaughter to intimidate others.

However, if such matters are often handled incorrectly, they will instead intensify conflicts and make things even worse.

Therefore, he still greatly admires such Immortal Kings with powerful management abilities.

For the Human Race, the appearance of such a leader is simply a tremendous stroke of luck.

"However, Lord Zhu Immortal King, the development of the Divine Position system only has immense benefits internally."

"In fact, the power of the Great Luck Art is not just limited to this."

"It is also very effective at restraining the power of Eternal Night."

"That is why the various races of the Immortal World are working so hard to increase their population and increase the Luck of each race."

Li Zhangchun smiled slightly.

"What do you mean? Can this Immortal Technique actually contend with Eternal Night?"

Once these words were spoken, Zhu Immortal King was immediately taken aback.

If the appearance of the Divine Position system made him feel that the myriad races of the Immortal World were becoming one, and made him slightly surprised, that was all it amounted to.

After all, the true enemy of the myriad races of the Immortal World is Eternal Night.

If there is no way to contend with Eternal Night, then no matter how glorious a civilization is, it will be destroyed in an instant.

In the past eras of this Universe, it was not as if extremely glorious civilizations did not exist.

But so what? When Eternal Night awakens, all things still fall into destruction.

Therefore, he does not feel that developing collective power has any benefits.

The most important thing is still individual power.

If the cultivation of a certain Immortal King can transcend everything, then only then can the arrival of the apocalypse be ended.

Otherwise, everything is just a castle in the air, not worth mentioning at all.

But now, the power of the Great Luck Art can actually contend with Eternal Night; it is truly inconceivable.

"That is correct. The power of the Great Luck Art can gather the Luck of all living beings to condense the Hope Fire."

"This is a special flame that comes from the living beings of the Immortal World; it can disperse all Darkness and annihilate the Curse."

"If the Hope Fire is ignited within the frontier cities, it can disperse the power of Eternal Night."

"Thereby allowing this area to form a White Day Land, forming a place suitable for our myriad races of the Immortal World to survive."

Li Zhangchun explained.

"That's right. Due to the birth of the Hope Fire, our myriad races have continuously dispersed the Darkness and driven away the power of Eternal Night."

"One billion years have passed, and our frontier cities have expanded more than ten thousand times compared to before."

"We have already reclaimed partial areas and expanded the living space for each race."

"If we continue like this, perhaps we will be able to completely reclaim the areas eroded by Eternal Night."

Many Qingyun Sect Cultivators said with great excitement.

"There is such a thing?"

A stormy sea was stirred up in the heart of Zhu Immortal King.

Whether it was this era or the previous one, there had never appeared a power capable of dispersing Eternal Night.

All along, the major regions of the Immortal World have been continuously encroached upon by Eternal Night.

As time passed, the living space suitable for the myriad races of the Immortal World became less and less.

If things continue like this, he does not even know how much space will be suitable for the Cultivators of various races to survive in the future.

There was simply no hope of defeating Eternal Night to be seen.

But now, the Hope Fire, which can contend with the power of Eternal Night, has actually been conceived.

The Hope Fire is like a sun, dispersing the infinite Darkness and dispersing all evil.

As long as there is a place where the Hope Fire burns, it will not be shrouded by Darkness.

If this flame continues to increase, sooner or later, all the lost territories of the Immortal World can be reclaimed.

This is also what the myriad races all hope will happen together.

To a certain extent, this is simply a miracle.

A miracle conceived over one Universe era after another.
