Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 455 Watching the Sea
As soon as these words came out

Many creatures immediately showed envy and jealousy.

"They've actually exempted us from all assessments!"

"Temporary voters!"

"The remaining levels are extremely difficult to pass normally!"

"Don't forget, this person has a level 7 root bone!"

“Level 7 root bone is indeed enough to make an exception.”

Amidst the clamor and discussion.

Many people's eyes were turned toward Jiang Jian.

To be precise, it was looking at the black bird-headed, human-bodied token in front of Jiang Jian.

This is a temporary voter's certificate!

The Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom is located in the Saturn Kingdom.

It is one of the eight major star-lord powers on this vast planet!

It possesses profound cultural heritage, governs a vast territory, and controls a massive amount of planetary resources.

To be chosen by the Demon Kingdom and become a temporary voter.

It was like rising to the top in one step!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Jiang Jian stood still, her expression calm, and did not accept the token.

A few seconds later.

The surrounding chatter gradually subsided.

A brief silence fell.

Jiang Jian in front of him.

Commander Wu, holding the token, sensed something was wrong.

He stared at Jiang Jian, his joy fading from his face.

"What do you mean by not accepting the token?"

Commander Wu's tone was somewhat gloomy.

A powerful aura emanated from him.

It exudes a terrifying aura.

This silenced everyone present.

Although Commander Wu's cultivation level was also at the Divine Palace Realm.

However, its true strength is clearly far beyond that of ordinary divine palaces.

The Divine Palace Realm has an extremely large span of cultivation.

among them.

The strong can traverse space, fight against hundreds single-handedly, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods.

The weak are like ants, perishing in an instant.

Commander Wu, though not yet at the altar.

However, the aura it exuded clearly belonged to the ranks of the strong.

"Reporting to the commander."

"I will not be a temporary voter."

Seeing the ripples around Jiang's body, which countered Commander Wu's oppressive aura, he spoke in a deep voice.

Hear this.

Many people around him looked on with schadenfreude.

Those who came to participate in the assessment demonstrated a level 7 physical constitution.

In the end, however, he dared to refuse the invitation from the demon kingdom.

No one would even dare to think of such a thing!

To put it mildly, this is disrespecting the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom and toying with a Star Lord-level power.

To put it more seriously, it constitutes disrupting the assessment process and deliberately causing trouble.

Even Commander Wu could be captured and killed on the spot without reporting it!

Jiang saw these words fall.

The deck became even quieter.

Only a few intelligent creatures, as if they had guessed something, stared intently at Jiang Jian, their eyes filled with shock!
Jiang was standing nearby.

The demon spirit at the Divine Palace Realm clearly hadn't thought much of it. Anxiety flashed in its eyes as it whispered, "Hurry up and take back what you said!"

at the same time.

Just when most people thought that the military leader would be furious.

Commander Wu calmed down, re-examined Jiang Jian, and, dispelling his imposing aura, asked, "You mean to compete for official votes?"

Jiang Jian nodded slightly and replied, "That's right."

Commander Wu withdrew his arm, his face expressionless, and said, "In that case, you will have to continue to participate in the assessment according to the rules."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"If you are eliminated during the assessment process."

"Then your temporary voter status will also be revoked!"

Have you thought it through?

Commander Wu looked at Jiang Jian, his voice low and somber.

Amidst the diverse gazes of everyone.

Jiang Jian nodded slightly.

Commander Wu remained silent, flipped his palm to put away the black token, and turned to leave the deck.

It disappeared into the clouds and mist.

Until he left.

People on deck started whispering among themselves.

They looked towards Jiang Jian and whispered among themselves.

"The assessment continues!"

The water spirit coughed and pressed down with both hands, reactivating the water mirror.

behind him.

The demon spirit in the Divine Palace Realm breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Jiang Jian, and said, "I thought Commander Wu was going to attack you."

Jiang Jian glanced at him and said softly, "Commander Wu is someone who already knows my thoughts. His actions just now were merely a test."

The demon spirit, who looked like a young boy, was taken aback.

In his view, Commander Wu's near-rage and the almost rampaging of his profound energy were too real to be a mere pretense.

Jiang Jian chuckled and said, "What he just said about being disqualified as a temporary voter if I fail the test is not true."

The words fell.

Jiang Jian raised his eyes and looked up at the sky above.

A deep vortex emerged from the pupil.

"Commander Wu's true emotion is only joy."

"Level 7 root bone discovered."

"For him, this is definitely a great achievement!"

"Whether I'm eliminated or not, I'm at least a temporary voter!"

aside.

The demon spirit came to its senses, understood the situation, and said with envy, "Then I congratulate you in advance."

When he speaks.

His eyes were clear, and he was polite in his actions.

Such beings at the Divine Palace Realm are rarely seen.

Because of his earlier reminder.

Jiang glanced at this person a little longer.

after all.

Since leaving Earth.

After traveling along the Gonggong star, they finally arrived at the capital city of Mercury.

Almost all the Divine Palace Realm experts he encountered were mature and experienced in dealing with things.

The demon spirit before them, however, appeared to be a young boy.

His character and personality are also very clear.

They are very different from ordinary people.

"You're from Saturn too?"

Jiang looked away and asked softly.

The demon spirit nodded, gave a wry smile, and said, "I come from the Saturn Kingdom, and am a subject of the Demon Kingdom. I came here on the Demon Kingdom's giant ship through connections."

Judging from his expression, he had clearly put in a lot of effort to come to Mercury.

For native Saturnian life to leave the planet and travel to other planets, it requires going through numerous checks and paying a certain price.

Getting on board a giant ship and catching a ride is no easy feat.

"Fortunately, I was diagnosed with a level 4 bone structure."

The demon rubbed her forehead, her tone becoming more relaxed, "Even if I don't become a voter, at least I can give my family an explanation."

In the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom.

With a level 4 root bone, one is qualified to hold a low-ranking official position.

Those with profound cultivation will be promoted and have the opportunity to become prefectural officials.

The Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom is, after all, a Star Lord-level kingdom.

Behind every official position lies a massive amount of resources!

Even the lowest-ranking officials have unimaginable privileges compared to the common people of the demon kingdom!
"Let's exchange identity information."

As she spoke, the demon spirit raised her wrist, her expression sincere.

Jiang Jian remained silent for a moment, then activated his identity token and swiped it in front of him.

A notification sounded.

A piece of personal information was displayed.

……

"Saturnian citizenship certificate." "Name: Chu Cheng."

Race: Demon Spirit

Bone age: 130 years old.

"The realm it belongs to: King's realm."

“Country of Origin: Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom”

……

"Chu Cheng".

Jiang Jian repeated it in a low voice, looking at the boy in front of him with a strange expression.

In his perception.

This demon spirit named "Chu Cheng" has been hiding a great deal of cultivation!

Obviously.

This demon spirit.

They are not as harmless as they appear on the surface.

"white."

Chu Cheng's eyes were clear. "Your name is very special."

Jiang chuckled lightly and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Chu Cheng wisely refrained from saying anything more.

Instead, he stood beside Jiang Jian and watched the others being assessed.

Level 4 root bone is extremely rare.

Of this group of beings, only one woman was found to have level 4 innate talent by the end of the assessment.

Guided by the water spirit.

The woman approached, smiling.

He greeted Jiang Jian and Chu Cheng separately.

Except for these three people.

The remaining people will all be eliminated!
"Please eliminate personnel and leave through the portal."

The water-man spread his arms and created a portal on the platform.

One by one, the crowd entered through the doorway, their expressions revealing their dejection.

aside.

Chu Cheng sighed, "Among these people, there are quite a few prodigies whose strength is clearly superior to mine."

"It's just a pity."

"Level 4 root bone, kept them out."

Hear this.

The woman smiled and said, "The selection of voters in the Demon Kingdom has always been this strict; otherwise, voter slots wouldn't be so precious."

Chu Cheng agreed wholeheartedly and nodded, saying, "The voters of the Demon Kingdom can only be selected through examinations. Even if they are descendants of star lords or nobles, they are not qualified to cut in line."

During their conversation...

Jiang Jian learned more about the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom.

This demon kingdom, capable of overwhelming the King Realm and being listed among the eight great star lords of Saturn, truly has its reasons.

Its laws are harsh.

In matters of critical importance, there is absolutely no room for favoritism or bending the law.

For example, the "voter" system, which is related to the very foundation of the demon kingdom.

Voters and temporary voters are the backbone of the Demon Kingdom and its future leaders.

No one, regardless of their status, may interfere with the assessment.

If someone with malicious intent tries to tamper with the voter selection process...

Once verified, it will be an immediate and devastating disaster!
"You guys, go inside."

The voice of the water spirit came.

Before it, another gate of light opened.

It was all shadowy and indistinct inside, and I couldn't see clearly.

"The second test is loyalty."

Chu Cheng said in a low voice, "I heard from my family that this level is very simple. As long as you answer the multiple-choice questions correctly, you can pass it easily."

The woman's expression was inscrutable. She said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. More people will be eliminated in this round than in the first round."

aside.

Jiang Jian walked towards the Chaoguang Gate.

As I pondered this, I realized something.

The Demon Kingdom's assessment does not place much emphasis on current cultivation level.

Whether you've been a resident of the temple for years or are a beginner at Yongquan, you can come and participate.

When they admit voters.

Innate talent and physical constitution are of paramount importance.

Secondly, there is loyalty.

Thirdly, there is the ability to understand and comprehend.

Besides loyalty.

The other two are indispensable qualifications for cultivating to a higher level.

this means.

The Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom has a very clear objective.

That is, to cultivate strong individuals who are loyal to the demon kingdom.

As a star-lord level nation, the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom has long established a set of procedures within its own massive selection system.

Once a living being passes the test, they become a voter of the demon kingdom.

They will immediately receive a large amount of precious resources from the demon kingdom.

In a very short time.

Voters will grow.

They were assigned to various locations.

They held important official positions, governed a region, and guarded resource points.

The very existence of these voters is itself an effort to secure benefits for the demon nation.

And so on.

The renewable resources occupied by the demon kingdom will remain as stable as Mount Tai, continuously producing spiritual objects.

Its territory will also be indestructible and inviolable.

This creates a virtuous cycle from the bottom up.

As one of the eight star lords.

The position of the Star Lord in the Demon Kingdom will become even more secure.

The True Lord of the Mysterious Head can control the core resources of a planet as a Star Lord, thus aiding his own cultivation.

In essence.

The prosperity of a nation is, in another sense, to support its ruler.

This was also the original intention behind the establishment of the Demon Kingdom.

Saturn has eight ruling planets, whose positions change from time to time.

Other star lord-level forces are eyeing it covetously, ready to take its place at any moment.

Xuan Shou Zhenjun is the ruler of the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom and one of the eight star lords.

Once a nation's fortunes decline and its overall luck diminishes, it will be surpassed by other powers.

This True Lord will be immediately affected, falling from his position as Star Lord and losing the support of the planet's core resources.

For creatures that yearn to peer into the sky, this is utterly unacceptable.

This is also why the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom treats its selected voters so generously.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that voters are the foundation of the demon kingdom.

"Level 7 Root Bone, I hope you can pass the level."

The portal shimmered with light, and the water spirit's gaze fell upon Jiang Jian, his expression filled with anticipation.

It is not an unknown demon, but the spirit of the Water Mirror.

The water mirror is also known as the "Sea-Viewing Mirror".

This is an incredible treasure.

With the slightest stimulation, it can be divided into countless forms.

The water mirror at each test site is part of it.

The water people here are one of the manifestations of its consciousness.

"Such talent has never been seen even in the Lord's residence."

As Jiang Jian and the others left.

The spirit muttered to itself, and with a flick of its wrist, a column of water appeared.

It inscribed information on it, then cast it into the void, where it vanished in an instant.

The Sea-Viewing Mirror is a sacred treasure with an owner.

Its master is a powerful figure in the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom.

That's why it was given this name.

It's because this water mirror is incredibly powerful.

It is possible to observe Neptune from Saturn.

at this time.

Although the "sea-viewing mirror" was temporarily requisitioned.

They were taken to the city of Mercury to be used for voter registration.

But it's inevitable that it has some selfish motives.

After discovering a level 7 root bone.

It immediately relayed Jiang Jian's information back to its master in the Saturn Kingdom.
