The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

pat.

A skewer fell onto the greasy table.

Qiao Yu picked it up and saw two big words written on it.

[Daikichi]

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

……

The moment Liu Sheng finally made his choice.

It all broke down before my eyes.

She stood outside the door again.

At this time, the door was tightly closed, without any gap.

She knew that even if she tried to knock, it wouldn't open.

As she walked down the stairs step by step, she saw everyone in the Ziwei Hall looking up at her, all with surprised expressions on their faces.

One was that it was unexpected that Yu Liu was the first to go up, but the last to come down.

The second thing was that he was surprised by Liu Zhuangyuan’s clothes.

Liu Sheng was still wearing the same scholar's blue shirt he had worn when he went upstairs.

However, except for a few Jinshi like Yun Jidao who could not even reach the heavenly level and had nothing to show for it, everyone else had already changed into a set of snow-white divine robes, emitting a bright divine light, and looked extraordinarily holy.

Especially people like Lin Shuying, Yu Huan, Chu Shudu and others, the divine robes they wore had an extra silver edge.

Wen Xuanning, who was standing on a high place, was even wearing a divine robe with two silver edges. He looked at her with a smile, but there was mockery in his eyes.

It can be seen from his clothes that Liu Sheng seems to have gained nothing.

Moreover, he was the only one who entered the door but did not receive any divine gift.

Unlike Wen Xuanning, he was already an apprentice priest before he ascended the ladder, and after ascending the ladder he was promoted two levels and became a second-level priest.

The others were at most first-rank priests, and many more were trainee priests.

But no matter what, he is still a priest.

Unlike Liu Sheng, although he was the top scholar, he ultimately did not gain the recognition of the Supreme God.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Sheng walked step by step towards the position where he had originally stood, which was the first among all the Jinshi.

But this caused some people to murmur.

"She can't even get the approval of the Supreme God, is she still qualified to be the top scholar?"

"The imperial examination is the imperial examination, and the appointment of an official is the appointment of an official. They should not be confused with each other."

"But the reason why Your Majesty wants to improve the imperial examination system is not to believe in the Kingdom of God and to grant official positions. How can we say that they are not mixed up?"

"That being said, the title of No. 1 is well deserved!"

"In my opinion, judging by the results, he is not as good as the runner-up, Master Wen."

"That's right, Master Wen has really ascended to heaven in one fell swoop!"

"And just now, His Majesty asked him about this. He has obtained the power to establish a secondary temple, which means he has already obtained the qualification to become a high priest in advance."

"In this case, who in the same class can compare with me?"

"Even if you are the top scholar, you can't..."

Hearing these words, Liu Sheng didn't seem to care. He just raised his head and walked forward slowly.

Everyone's reactions were in full view.

Liu Sheng saw a hint of disappointment flash across the emperor's face, and the queen next to him shook her head slightly.

Ling Fu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He probably thought that this was a good thing, and that she would stop making trouble.

Mei Yuanzheng, as well as the officials beside her, Han Shanjun and Zhang Chunxue, whom she did not know or could not recognize, all showed signs of worry. Perhaps they were worried that without this layer of protection, even as the top scholar, she would not be able to go far in the court of the Tang Dynasty.

The other officials had expressions of regret, mockery, contempt, or curiosity on their faces...

But these reactions are not important in Liu Sheng's eyes.

She has things she wants to do.

The emperor didn't want to ask Liu Sheng what he had gained.

In fact, he will know all the results as soon as he connects with the Supreme God later.

It was just that I had just asked the students ahead of the first and second place students about their gains, and it would seem obvious if I didn’t ask now.

After some hesitation, Minister Li directly offered to do it for him.

"I wonder if Liu Zhuangyuan has been appointed as an official after his death?"

"Minister Li, it is enough for Mr. Liu to have talent and knowledge. Why should he demand perfection in everything?" Ling Fu couldn't help but frowned and said.

"Of course, but now that His Majesty is the messenger of the Supreme God, becoming a priest to assist His Majesty in serving the Supreme God and spreading faith is the primary goal of all students in the world. If we cannot do this, I am afraid..."

"Minister Li's intention is to deprive Guo of the title of No. 1 scholar conferred personally by His Majesty?" Mei Yuanzheng said slowly.

These words were too harsh, and Minister Li dared not respond at all, and even said he dared not.

He secretly glanced at His Majesty and saw that he just looked gloomy but did not stop him. He continued, "It's just that this question is so simple, why don't you let Liu Zhuangyuan answer it?"

"Or do you also think that Liu Zhuangyuan's answer will affect her position as the top scholar?"

These words were heartbreaking, and Mei Yuanzheng's face darkened.

Other officials were also discussing the matter, and they seemed to think that if the Supreme God was not optimistic, it would be awkward for Liu Sheng to be the top scholar. Instead, the second place in literature was the real first place in this year's imperial examination.

Wen Xuanning listened, his lips curled up slightly, feeling somewhat proud.

The gloom of losing the title of the first scholar was swept away, and he glanced at Liu Sheng standing upright in a clean and dignified manner, expecting her to admit in person that she had not been recognized by the Supreme God. Not only officials, but also Jinshi were discussing this. Although Liu Sheng's good friend Wang Dongdong, senior brothers and sisters, Xu Dajuan and others were indignant about this, they could not stop them from talking.

There were constant doubts, and now the emperor had no choice but to speak out.

So, he looked at Liu Sheng fiercely and said slowly: "Liu Zhuangyuan, I also want to hear about what you have gained behind the scenes."

"Have you been granted the position of a priest?"

Liu Sheng bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have never obtained it."

After getting a definite answer, the whole audience was shocked.

"Did you acquire any skills?"

"Your Majesty, I have not acquired any skills."

"Are there any weapons?"

"Your Majesty, there are no weapons."

"Has your cultivation level increased?"

Liu Sheng also denied it.

The repeated denials only led to a louder uproar.

In this case, there is no need to say more.

The emperor was completely disappointed.

Feeling annoyed, he glanced at Zhang Chunxue.

If we hadn't listened to him, how could such a person with extremely low spirituality have become the top scholar?

Now, those people lurking in the dark will definitely laugh at him, saying that he did not act according to their arrangements and ended up putting himself on the fire.

But as the king of a country, he finally got this position and spent nine years to keep it. Why should he listen to their arrangements?

Just when I was feeling disappointed, I saw Liu Sheng actually take the initiative to step forward.

"Your Majesty, although I did not get what Your Majesty said, I got this."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands and raised something above her head.

In the palm of Liu Sheng's hand, there lay quietly a talisman that was shining with dazzling golden light.

It is shaped like a galloping tiger, with the left and right sides merged into one. It looks heavy, and is engraved with densely packed magical inscriptions.

The officials in the front stretched their necks to look at it, but had no idea what it was.

Wen Xuanning was at the back and couldn't see anything except the golden light in Liu Sheng's hand. Although he was curious, he also wondered if there was anything better than his palace-building jade seal.
The emperor glanced at it casually at first, then thought of something and looked at it again carefully.

Then, he slapped the dragon throne and stood up excitedly.

He laughed loudly and said, "This is the Divine Tiger Talisman! This is the Divine Tiger Talisman!"

"God bless the Tang Kingdom! God bless the Tang Kingdom!"

No one understood what was going on, but seeing how excited the emperor was, they knew it must be something extraordinary.

Minister Li was also shocked and asked, "Is this the Divine Tiger Talisman?"

He was going to be in charge of the temple, so how could he not know about the Divine Tiger Talisman? He just didn't expect that someone like Liu Sheng...who appeared from nowhere, would get it.

"Of course, I thought I would have to wait a few years before I had a chance to get one, but I didn't expect to get one the first time I climbed the stairs. It really is destiny!"

The emperor was so excited that his face turned red. He looked at Liu Sheng and said "good" several times.

When Wen Xuanning heard the three words "Divine Tiger Talisman", he didn't know what they were for a moment.

But when I heard the old voice next to me sigh, I knew that this thing was indeed extraordinary.

"I really didn't expect this thing to come out now." The old voice whispered, "Sure enough, the more I change it, the more it changes... Some things may be fate."

"I don't believe it!" Wen Xuanning gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. Looking at Liu Sheng's figure, the shadow in his mind spread upwards.

"Your Majesty, what exactly is the Divine Tiger Talisman?" the Queen asked curiously.

"The Divine Tiger Talisman allows one to mobilize all priests to fight for him during a war, and based on his faith, he can pray to the Supreme God for divine soldiers to descend from the sky."

"And mastering the Divine Tiger Talisman can bless the entire army in battle, reduce the invasion of evil spirits, and comprehensively improve physical fitness, recovery ability, and combat strength."

"In short, it has many advantages and can be used as a war weapon."

Immediately, everyone was in an uproar and shouted, "God bless the Tang Dynasty."

It seems that this divine tiger talisman is too powerful.

And it seems that this authority is even higher than that of all priests.

Everyone's eyes drifted towards Wen Xuanning, as if this second-rank priest was not that valuable.

After explaining the magic of the Divine Tiger Talisman, the emperor suddenly muttered to himself: "With the Divine Tiger Talisman... maybe it's not necessary..."

Others might not know what the emperor was talking about, but Liu Sheng understood, and his hand holding the divine tiger talisman trembled slightly.

Looking towards the horizon, the ladder is gradually moving upwards.

And the gate in the sky was completely closed and slowly disappeared into the night sky.

The face of the Supreme God returned, still floating in the sky.

But obviously, it's different from before.

With his eyes fully open, everything in the world seems to be in sight.

Moreover, it seemed that God's face was much lower than before. His ears and hair were revealed from behind the sky. His hair was like tiny tentacles fluttering in the wind, gently sweeping over the human world.

I wonder what the scene will be like when the Supreme God completely descends to the human world one day.
