Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 530 Ascending Trial
How did Aurora know about the flying competition?
Celia's expression was strange.

Is she really as naive and easily fooled as Benovia claims?
Celia glanced at Ross, then suddenly realized something and her expression changed.

It turned out to be the case.

It turns out that Lord Ross wanted to give the prize to Aurora.

Celia felt a strange emotion welling up inside her.

It's like eating a lemon.

Strangely, she had absolutely no idea what it was.

Ross flicked his finger, and the note disappeared. Aurora flew to the top of the tower, and her voice could be faintly heard.

"Huh? A note? The students from the Holy Magic Academy are so kind."

Taking the note, Aurora left happily.

……

Somewhere in the Forbidden Forest of Sacred Beasts, Fred, a fifth-grader, looked at the time on his bracelet with a puzzled expression.

"Strange, why are they taking so long this time? The main force should have arrived long ago."

Just then, he saw a slow-moving person appear in the distance, fly over slowly, and land in front of him with a curious expression.

"Hello, I'm a participant in the flight competition. Are you Fred, the senior student from the organizer?"

Fred nodded: "You're the winner this year? What about the other contestants?"

Aurora blinked: "I don't know, haven't they all arrived?"

"No, you're the first one here."

"Oh, oh... did I go to the wrong place?"

Fred remained silent. "No, perhaps they went to the wrong place. This is your reward, thank you for participating."

Looking at the junior schoolgirl standing alone in front of him, Fred was momentarily reminded of a contestant he had met long ago when he was in third grade; that contestant had also come alone.

The difference is that everyone else was arrested back then, but this time no one was arrested and no one knows where they went.

Another difference is that Aurora made no attempt to hide it.

"Thank you!" Aurora happily took the gold coin.

Although there aren't many, they're incredibly fun.

"I didn't expect there would be a reward for coming in last place."

Fred: "..."

……

The interruption of the flight competition did not affect the people inside the tower.

Soon, calm returned to the tower.

Celia composed herself and returned to meditation.

As time passed, the magic refinement level slowly increased from 119% to 120%, reaching the level that Blake had mentioned, where one could pass the Ascension Trial with their eyes closed.

Celia opened her eyes.

As she reached the required level of refinement, she faintly sensed the call from the Ascension to Godhood.

"almost."

By this time, it was almost time for get out of class to end. The students who had sensed the orbs of light had already left in twos and threes. Celia greeted Benovia and the others and followed them out, taking the application form to the principal's office and handing it to Black.

"You've felt the call to ascend the divine ladder? Are you planning to advance tonight?" Blake looked at the application form, pondered for a moment, and said, "How about preparing for two more days?"

"I don't think it's necessary. My magic refinement level has already reached 120%. Didn't the headmaster say that this level of refinement is so high that you can pass it with your eyes closed?"

The call to ascend the divine staircase was so intense it was almost palpable, stirring an irresistible urgency within one. "Well, generally speaking, that's true, but if you enter the deeper realms of the gods like last time, it might not be so."

As he spoke, Blake smiled and shook his head: "However, the Deep God Realm is not so easy to enter. It is true that you can pass through with your eyes closed. You... I'll ask a few mentors to help you keep an eye on things."

Celia did not refuse, and nodded her thanks: "Okay, thank you, Principal Black."

No application was rejected; after all, it was just a notification.

Back in her dormitory, Elena and two female mentors, having received a notification from the principal, came to Celia's dormitory to 'protect' her.

Although they can't help much with the ascent trial, they can take care of you when you come out if you fail or are too exhausted, which is better than having no one to take care of you.

"Celia, keep it up!" Elena encouraged Celia.

Celia checked her belongings, put them in her backpack, and nodded: "Thank you, mentor."

Spatial rings cannot be used in the realm of gods because both are subspace. In the realm of gods, apart from spatial sorcerers, other sorcerers cannot activate spatial spells and items.

So Celia picked up her large backpack, which she hadn't used in a long time, and packed everything into it.

Most of them are potions and runes, as well as some portable magic array setup tools, emergency food, etc.

After preparing, Celia waved her hand, touched the summoned Ascension Staircase, and entered the realm of the gods.

Ross manipulated the divine realm, guiding Celia into its deepest depths.

Various dazzling streams of light appeared before my eyes, and after a moment, they gradually stabilized.

When her vision cleared, Celia found herself in a desert, surrounded by endless desert.

The blazing sun shines overhead, baking the earth and bringing wave after wave of heat.

In the distance, a different scene unfolded. To the left, right, and behind, a large amount of sand and dust obscured the earth and sky, preventing Celia from seeing anything beyond.

Only at the very front, the sky was clear and free of sand and dust.

Celia gazed into the distance and saw the faint light of the ascending divine staircase emanating from afar.

In the distance, the Star Spirit Tree can be faintly seen.

Celia hesitated for a moment, then walked forward.

With the combination of Swiftness and Lightness of Body, the speed is incredibly fast.

Soon, Celia saw a small village appear before her, and in the sky above the other side of the village, the next step of the Ascendant Staircase appeared.

The staircase appears and disappears, like a mirage.

Celia glanced at it, unable to think of a way to get up, so she turned her attention to the small town that had suddenly appeared in the desert.

"The town... there seem to be people still here... it really is the deep realm of gods."

Celia wasn't surprised at all.

It would be surprising if Ross hadn't entered the deeper realms of the gods.

After the fourth-order ascension trial, the shallow and deep layers of the divine realm become easily distinguishable.

The shallow realm of gods is like a simulation of the divine realm, with only simple scenes and trials. In such a place, 120% magic refinement is enough to cope with all the trials and successfully ascend to the next level—of course, even with 120% magic refinement, it is still difficult to enter the shallow realm of gods.

The environment of the deeper divine realm is even clearer and more detailed. Just like now, a small town is directly simulated, with many people in it, each with their own life.

Another very important point is that the existence of the Ascension Staircase blends in with the environment to a certain extent. For example, right now, the Ascension Staircase is like a mirage appearing next to the village. It looks abrupt, but it is not actually abrupt in the desert.

Encountering a mirage in the desert is quite normal.

Flying is forbidden in the realm of the gods. Celia looked at the long stairway to godhood in the sky, which had no steps for passage, took a deep breath, and walked towards the village.

"Since there's a village, the way to climb the steps must be inside the village. Let's go in and see what's inside."
