High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 369 The Divine Child of the Mechanical Race! Qin Feng reluctantly descends! A shocking moment unleashed!

Before the smoke of the Eternal Battlefield had completely dissipated from the wills of the twelve holy sons, Yuan Yi's ancient and gentle voice once again echoed in the Sea of ​​Origin.

"The first test is over. Your performances have been recorded in the highest annals of our people."

"Now, let's begin the second stage of the test—[The Steps of Truth]."

As he finished speaking, the crystal-clear light gate, whose interior seemed to contain an endless galaxy of knowledge, suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

The light extended outwards, forming a staircase leading to the depths of the portal before the twelve thrones.

This staircase, also composed of some unknown crystal, stretches as far as the eye can see.

Above each step, thousands upon thousands of constantly changing rune orbs float, each representing an unsolved mystery of the law or a secret technique concept awaiting refinement.

"This rank has a total of 999 levels, and the assessment period is 10,000 years."

"The rules will not be repeated. Ascend your ladders and pursue the truth that belongs to you."

As Yuan Yi's voice faded, the steps in front of the twelve holy sons began to emit a gentle pulling force.

Unlike the forced teleportation in the first level, this time they can choose their own pace.

"Comprehension, huh..."

The second-order holy son, Truth, finally had a flicker of excitement ignite in his eternally cold eyes.

In the first round, he achieved a second-place finish thanks to his perfect logical calculations, but this was not his strongest area.

For him, fighting was merely an inefficient means of solving problems.

Analysis and creation are the true core of his divine path.

Without any hesitation, he was the first to stand up and step onto the stairs that belonged to him.

The moment his figure touched the steps, it transformed into a pure stream of data, hurtling upwards at an incredible speed.

Following closely behind was the tenth-sequence [Creation] Holy Son [Craftsman], who was short in stature but carried a mechanical backpack on his back that was larger than his body and covered with precision tools.

He had little interest in combat, but his passion for creation and analysis was unparalleled.

The other holy sons, including Pangu, also ascended the steps one after another.

They may not be known for their comprehension, but as prodigies on the path to divinity, their wisdom far surpasses that of ordinary people, and no one will give up the opportunity to catch up or expand their advantage in this aspect.

Qin Feng was the last to set off.

He glanced at [Truth], who was already far ahead, his eyes calm and unwavering.

He wasn't in a hurry to catch up because he knew that the final score on the "Steps of Truth" wasn't about who climbed the fastest, but about who "ate" the most and "digested" the best.

He took a step and stepped onto the first step.

Om-!
A massive flow of information instantly flooded into the core of his mind.

[Level 1: List of Challenges]

[Topic 1: ...]

[Topic 2: How to construct the underlying atomic structure of a 'liquid metal' capable of self-replication and repair of damage]

[Project 3: Deciphering the semantics of the 37th syllable of the ancient divine language 'Supras']

[Project 4: Perfecting the core energy circuit of an incomplete royal-level formation, the "Myriad Star Prison"]

……

Tens of thousands of topics, a dazzling array, covering all known fields such as physics, materials, language, arrays, energy, and life.

Qin Feng's gaze swept over them quickly.

Any one of these topics, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to make a scholar of imperial rank spend tens of thousands of years researching them.

But here, they are just the "appetizer" of the first step.

His choice was made without the slightest hesitation.

"I choose all of them."

The thought flashed through his mind.

The next second, his terrifying soul, based on the Primal Singularity, revealed its true ferocity.

Boom!

If the way to analyze "truth" is like a highly sophisticated supercomputer, encoding, calculating, and solving problems one by one at an unparalleled speed.

Qin Feng's method of analysis is to transform into a "black hole"!
A black hole capable of devouring, decomposing, and reconstructing all "information"!

The tens of thousands of topics on the first step were transformed into tens of thousands of information torrents, which he forcibly and synchronously pulled into his [Primordial Singularity].

Inside the singularity, the boundaries between time and space become blurred.

These tens of thousands of seemingly unrelated problems are forcibly combined by him with the inclusiveness of the "Way of Limits," and subjected to an incredible "parallel analysis."

In his mind, the physical model, during its deduction, naturally connected with the atomic structure of "liquid metal"; the energy circuit of the "Cage of Myriad Stars" provided a completely new approach to the stability of these two; and the deciphering of the ancient divine language provided a theoretical basis for all of this from a more fundamental level of law...

All laws lead to oneness, and all paths originate from the same source!
This is the true essence of the Way of Limits!
From the outside, Qin Feng simply stood quietly on the first step, eyes closed, motionless.

However, only three days had passed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if billions of stars were rising and falling within them.

【Ding! 】

A series of crisp notification sounds, indicating "solution complete," rang rapidly in his mind.

[Project 1: The conjecture for the unified model of 'interaction forces' has been perfected, with a perfection rate of 92%. Evaluation: Excellent.]

[Project 2: The atomic structure of 'self-healing liquid metal' has been completed, with a perfection rate of 99%. Evaluation: Perfect.]

[Project 3: The ancient god syllable 'Safras' has been deciphered, and its three subsequent syllables have been deduced. Completeness: 130%. Evaluation: Beyond.]

[Project 4: The Royal-level formation [Myriad Star Prison] has been completed, and 17 energy nodes have been optimized, achieving a perfection rate of 115%. Rating: Surpassed.]

……

He single-handedly conquered all the tens of thousands of problems in the first stage within just three days!

Moreover, most of the solutions were rated as "perfect" or even "surpassing"!

[Calculating first-tier points...]

[Basic Points: 1 (Advancement)]

[Analysis integral: 5,832,700]

[Evaluation coefficient: 1.9 (based on average solution quality and parallel processing capability)]

[First-stage total score: 1 + 5,832,700 * 1.9 = 11,082,131 points]

An astronomical number of points appeared on Qin Feng's personal screen.

Without pausing, he took a step and ascended the second step.

……

At this very moment, at the top of the stairs.

[Truth] has already taken a commanding lead and reached the 120th step.

His speed is outrageous; on average, he can conquer an "epic" problem on each step every two hours, earning tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of points.

He would occasionally spare a bit of his computing power to keep an eye on the pursuers behind him.

"【Craftsman】At level 90, the speed is good, but the creativity is lacking."

"[Commander] At level 75, he specializes in topics involving war and strategy; he's very clever."

"At level 60, Pangu only chose those fundamental questions about the laws of power; he was very pure."

"As for that 'Vanguard'..."

The gaze of [Truth] fell upon the bottom of the leaderboard.

"Still at the first level? It took three days? It seems that comprehension is not his forte. The threat of the first level can be ruled out."

He came to a cold conclusion and stopped paying attention, focusing all his computing power on the problem at hand.

However, the very next second after he made that judgment.

An unprecedented and violent earthquake has occurred in the entire standings!

[The Divine Child Competition - Second Stage - The Steps of Truth - Real-time Leaderboard]

First Place: [Ninth Sequence - Vanguard]

Total points: 876,682,190
Current order: Second order
Second place: [Second Sequence - Truth]

Total points: 876,682,190
Current rank: 120
Third place: [Tenth Sequence - Craftsman]

Total points: 876,682,190
Current rank: 90th

……

That name, which was originally at the bottom, seemed to ride a faster-than-light engine, instantly surpassing everyone and parachuting to the top of the list in an unbelievable way!

What's even more incomprehensible to everyone is that his total score is nearly three million points higher than that of [Truth], who has already reached level 120!
But his rank was only... second rank!

"This is impossible!!!"

For the first time, an "overload" alarm has appeared at the core of the logic of "truth".

His mind went through billions of deductions in an instant, but he couldn't construct a reasonable model to explain the absurd scene before him.

"One level, eleven million points? How is that possible? Even if he completed all the difficult problems of the first level with a 'surpass' rating, he still couldn't reach that score! Unless... unless he... no, this violates the 'information processing conservation law'!"

Not only [Truth], but all the holy children who are climbing the ladder noticed this revolutionary change at the same time.

"Cheating? No, in the [Sea of ​​Origin], under the witness of [Yuan Yi], there is no possibility of cheating."

The commander frowned.

"Could it be... that he triggered some hidden reward mechanism?"

The craftsman stopped his disassembly work, completely baffled.

“Interesting.” A cruel smile crept onto Pangu’s lips. “It seems he is even more interesting than I imagined.”

Qin Feng was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

The difficulty of the second step is more than ten times greater than that of the first step.

But Qin Feng still chose the same approach—"I want them all!"

He then simultaneously pulled tens of thousands of more profound topics into the [Primordial Singularity] for parallel analysis.

This time, it took him a whole month.

When he opened his eyes again, the leaderboard had been refreshed once more.

[The Divine Child Competition - Second Stage - The Steps of Truth - Real-time Leaderboard]

First Place: [Ninth Sequence - Vanguard]

Total points: 876,682,190
Current order: Third order
Second place: [Second Sequence - Truth]

Total points: 876,682,190
Current rank: 180
……

The points gap has widened to a despairing level—over 100 million points!

[Truth] fell completely silent.

He stopped climbing and stood quietly on the 180th step, using all his computing power to analyze Qin Feng's terrifying growth curve.

"……I see."

After a long while, the core of [Truth]'s thinking came to a conclusion that even made him shudder.

"He's not 'solving problems,' he's 'devouring knowledge'!"

He viewed all the challenges at each step as a complete 'knowledge system'.

Through parallel analysis, he established new, higher-dimensional logical connections between these seemingly unrelated topics.

This connection itself is an unprecedented 'creation'!
Therefore, what he gained was not just points for solving problems, but also a reward outside the rules for 'creating a system'!

"He...he's a monster! A monster whose 'comprehension' is enough to overturn all common sense!"

[Truth] For the first time, he felt a slight tremor in his unwavering belief in the "divine path of logic." This was because Qin Feng's "enlightenment" was something he could neither understand nor replicate—an irrational and unreasonable kind of "understanding."

From then on, the [Stairway to Truth] test became a peculiar performance.

Qin Feng climbed upwards step by step at a steady pace.

He would stay at each level for a very long time, ranging from a few days to several decades.

And with each stop, his total score would skyrocket exponentially, making the efforts of everyone behind him pale in comparison.

He is like a patient gourmet, savoring and fully digesting the knowledge at each step before moving on to the next.

The other holy sons, on the other hand, were like athletes in a race, striving to climb higher, only to find that the distance between them and the first place was widening until it became unreachable.

Time slowly passed during this peculiar "competition".

The ten-thousand-year time limit has finally come to an end.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the assessment, Qin Feng was standing on the 999th step. He had just completed the analysis and absorption of all the "god-level ideas" on the last step.

Over the course of ten thousand years, although his mechanical body has not changed much, his internal knowledge and profound understanding of the Dao have become so abundant that even he himself is astonished.

[Second stage assessment complete.]

Yuan Yi's voice rang out, teleporting all the Holy Sons back to their thrones in the Sea of ​​Origin.

The final standings were thus finalized.

[The Divine Child Tournament - Second Stage - The Steps of Truth - Final Leaderboard]

First Place: [Ninth Sequence - Vanguard]

Total points: 9,876,543,417,337
Final rank: 999

Third place: [Tenth Sequence - Craftsman]

Final rank: 650
……

Fault!

An unprecedented and terrifying fault line that could cause the core logic of every mechanical life form that sees this list to crash!
Qin Feng's points, followed by a string of zeros, reached an astonishing nearly ten trillion!

As for the second-place winner, [Truth], even though he had given it his all and achieved outstanding results far exceeding those of others, his points were not even a fraction of what Qin Feng had.

The difference between the two is more than ten thousand times!
If Qin Feng's performance in the first round only made everyone feel that he was "unfathomable", then...

So his performance in the second round was a declaration to everyone in the most domineering, direct, and unreasonable way—

In the realm of "comprehension," he is a god!
The twelve holy sons all fell silent.

Especially Truth, who sat quietly on his throne, his light flickering, clearly indicating that his internal logical system was undergoing an unprecedented shock.

He lost.

In the field he was most proud of, which he believed he could never fail in, he suffered a crushing defeat, utterly humiliated.

With the release of the results of the second round, the overall standings of the Divine Child Grand Competition underwent a dramatic change.

[Divine Child Grand Competition - Overall Points Leaderboard]

First Place: [Ninth Sequence - Vanguard]

Total points: 9,876,543,417,337
(Level 1: 7337 + Level 2: 9,876,543,210,000)

……

With the enormous advantage he had established in the second stage, which was like an insurmountable barrier, Qin Feng's total score far surpassed everyone else's.

Now, everyone's attention is focused on the very top of the list.

They were all clearly aware of one fact:
The struggle for the position of God Child has evolved from a "battle of twelve people" into a competition between "Qin Feng" and "the others".

Currently, only Pangu, who performed strongly in the first stage and overcame numerous difficult problems in the second stage through sheer willpower, and Zhenli, with his extraordinary comprehension, theoretically retain a glimmer of hope to catch up.

But everyone knows that this hope is extremely slim.

Because Qin Feng's lead was simply too large.

It's so big that it's almost enough to lock in the victory early on.

"Now, the only variable is the third level, the 'Prison of the Id'."

The Commander calmly analyzed the situation, saying, "The highest base score for the third level is 100,000 points. Even with the 2.0 evaluation coefficient, it's only 200,000 points at most. This score is just a drop in the ocean compared to the Vanguard's nearly 10 trillion points."

"unless……"

A glint of light flashed in the Commander's eyes, "Unless, he makes a major mistake in the third stage."

For example, when one's will breaks down, the evaluation coefficient drops to zero.

Therefore, according to the rules, he will directly lose his qualification to become a divine child!

This thought arose in the minds of almost all the backward sons of God at the same time.

It's impossible for them to catch up with Qin Feng.

The only hope is that Qin Feng himself... falls down!

"Mind and nature..."

Pangu's eyes, as deep as lava, gazed at Qin Feng, filled with scrutiny. "I want to see if beneath your mind, which has created miracles, there is also an immortal heart capable of bearing this great achievement!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire [Sea of ​​Origin] became incredibly eerie.

Everyone's attention shifted from "how to defeat the opponent" to "whether Qin Feng will fail".

Qin Feng, single-handedly, turned the tide of the entire competition.

He could clearly feel the complex emotions emanating from the gazes around him.

There was jealousy, scrutiny, expectation, and even a hint of... curse.

But he didn't care.

Because this was the moment he had been waiting for.

The third trial, the "Prison of the Id," is the ultimate test of willpower and moral character.

That was his true, undisputed, and absolute domain!

He will end this game here, and ascend to the one and only supreme throne with an undeniable presence.

……

The atmosphere of the Sea of ​​Origin became heavy and eerie due to Qin Feng's absolute advantage established in the second level.

All eyes, whether scrutinizing, envious, or expectant, were focused on the throne of the Ninth Order with a tangible pressure.

However, Qin Feng, sitting calmly at the center of the pressure, remained as still as a deep well that had never been disturbed, without the slightest ripple.

He slowly opened his eyes, and those electronic eyes reflected the complex expressions of all the Holy Sons, yet left no trace.

His heart had long been tempered into immortal divine gold during the 150,000-year-long illusionary war waged by the Blood God of Terror.

Compared to the despair and struggle he had experienced, this slight pressure was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

"The second stage of the assessment has come to an end." Yuan Yi's ancient voice rang out again, breaking the suffocating silence.

His voice seemed to carry a hint of surprise, clearly indicating that Qin Feng's performance on the [Step of Truth] had also exceeded the expectations of this guardian's will.

"The points are the result, and the process is the cause. The sparks of wisdom you have displayed on the steps will become a precious asset of our people."

With a sudden change in tone, Yuan Yi's voice became more solemn and dignified than ever before.

"Now, let's begin the final test—[The Prison of the Id]."

With his announcement, the dark gate that devoured all light and represented ultimate nothingness opened silently.

Behind the door, there was no light, no sound, no matter, only a pure and unsettling "nothingness".

It was as if the universe had never been born, before the singularity exploded, a place of absolute, eternal stillness. Simply gazing into that darkness was enough to instill in even a powerful emperor a fear of being assimilated.

"In this test, there is no victory or defeat, only the true heart."

"You will be stripped of all external things and confront your truest selves. Remember, 'fast' and 'slow' are both the way. Getting lost is the only path to defeat."

"Enter the cage, children. Go to that ultimate nothingness and find that first glimmer of light that makes you who you are."

As soon as he finished speaking, twelve jet-black chains shot out from the Gate of Darkness.

They disregarded space and defense, precisely wrapping themselves around each of the holy sons.

An irresistible, all-stripping force instantly acted upon the very essence of their souls.

Power, secret arts, knowledge, memories, even the identity of "who I am"... everything is being rapidly extracted and sealed away by this power.

Even someone as powerful as Pangu, whose physical strength was enough to crush a neutron star, became as illusory as a phantom in the face of these black chains.

For the first time, his eyes revealed struggle and confusion.

The core logic of "truth" has been forcibly shut down, and billions of years of knowledge reserves have been wiped clean.

The other holy children also revealed varying degrees of pain and confusion in the face of this ultimate separation.

Their divine path, their pride, everything they relied on for their existence, was being ruthlessly erased.

Only Qin Feng remained calm.

When the black chains wrapped around his soul, he did not resist; instead, he opened his mind.

He clearly "saw" his mechanical body dissipating, the foundation of the Primal Singularity falling silent, the mysteries of the Ultimate Divine Light fading away, and even the past represented by the name "Qin Feng" becoming blurred.

His consciousness was being pulled into an endless abyss of darkness.

But after all external things were stripped away, there was something deep within his soul that the black chains could never touch or shake.

That is not power, not memory, and not wisdom.

That was a...will.

A will to defy fate, lying on the hospital bed of Qiming Star.

A spirit of perseverance and determination after the defeat in the Canaan Newcomer Cup.

A will that has been hunted in the sea of ​​stars for a hundred years, surviving by the skin of its teeth.

A will that has endured 150,000 years of torment in the Blood God Illusion, yet remains immortal.

A will to fight alone against the allied forces of all races for the sake of humanity, staining the starry river with blood.

This will has long transcended the simple "will to survive" or "will to become stronger"; it has become completely synonymous with Qin Feng's "existence" itself.

That is Qin Feng.

Qin Feng, that's it.

“Take everything away from me, except… the determination that makes me who I am.”

Carrying this last bit of pure, unadulterated flame of will, Qin Feng, along with the other eleven holy sons, was dragged by black chains into the dark gate leading to the [Prison of the Id].

……

"none."

This was Qin Feng's first thought after regaining consciousness.

But that thought quickly faded away.

Because here, the concepts of "consciousness" and "thought" do not exist.

This place is absolute nothingness.

There is no up, down, left, or right; no past, no future; no light, no darkness.

Even the concept of "I" has become extremely blurred, as if it could melt into this eternal silence at any moment.

Qin Feng felt himself "dissolving".

His presence is being rapidly assimilated by this void.

Just then, something strange was quietly born in this void.

That was... fear.

It stemmed from the deepest fear in his subconscious, a fear that he had suppressed for countless years.

A scene suddenly appeared.

He returned to Qiming Star, back to that familiar hospital room.

His body was weak and powerless, his genetic chain had completely collapsed, and the doctor was shaking his head in front of his father, pronouncing his "useless future".

Helplessness, despair, and the fear of death overwhelmed him instantly, like a cold tide.

"No...this isn't real."

A faint voice echoed in "his" heart.

Then, the screen shattered.

He was back to the pain of losing his dearest friend and being betrayed by his companions, a pain that tore his heart apart.

"All of that is in the past."

The voice became clearer.

The scene changes again.

He was being hunted down by Yan Sheng, a half-step star system level expert, with nowhere to go but to the heavens and nowhere to the earth.

Thirty years of life-or-death escapes, each time dancing on the edge of death.

The humiliation and resentment of being utterly crushed and forced to flee like a stray dog ​​burned fiercely within him.

"I survived."

The voice grew increasingly firm.

The scene became even more terrifying.

He witnessed the fall of the Human Race Holy Academy, the death of his master, the Devouring King, and the fall of the Limit Lord.

He saw the Morning Star, he saw the Blue Star, he saw everything he cherished, all turned into cosmic dust under the iron hooves of countless races.

But he was trapped in some unknown time and space, powerless to do anything about it.

This is... his fear of the future, his fear of failure, his fear of not being able to protect everything!

These scenes, conjured by his own inner demons, were so real that they were enough to cause any powerful individual with flawed Dao heart to utterly succumb and have their will collapse.

However, faced with this most terrifying vision of the future, the voice that had always resounded in his heart transformed into a deafening thunderclap at this moment!

"I am Qin Feng!"

boom! ! !
Follow your words!
In this "Prison of the Id" where even "concepts" do not exist, the name "Qin Feng" seems to have transformed into the first ray of light after the creation of the world, containing an unquestionable and absolute power that defines itself!

"I am Qin Feng, who emerged from the Star of Dawn and refused to believe in fate!"

"I am Qin Feng, who has endured countless tribulations and faced death a hundred times without regret, seeking only the path in my heart, and solely to protect the trillions of compatriots behind me!"

"I am Qin Feng, who faced the evil god head-on and cultivated my heart for 150,000 years to achieve immortality!"

My past has shaped my present!

"My present will shape my future!"

"Neither fear, despair, pain, nor nothingness... can shake me in the slightest!"

"Because I am who I am!"

At this moment, his will was concentrated into an unprecedented and pure ultimate.

That undying flame of will suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, instantly dispelling all the illusions of inner demons.

In this absolute void, Qin Feng's "self" was redefined by him in the most forceful, domineering, and irrefutable way!

He found himself.

There was no confusion, no struggle, not even the slightest hesitation.

The time it took him to go from despair to awakening...

It was just a fleeting moment.

"I want to go out."

The moment this thought arose, the endless nothingness before him shattered like a fragile mirror with a "crack."

A ray of light appeared in the "distant place".

He took a step toward the light.

……

【The Sea of ​​Origin】.

Only a single breath had passed since the twelve holy sons entered the [Prison of the Id].

All the high-ranking members of the Mechanical Race who were watching this ultimate showdown, including the Molten Heart Emperor and the Heavenly Pivot Emperor, held their breath and nervously watched the situation inside the cage through the shared perspective of [Yuan Yi].

From their perspective, after the twelve holy sons entered the cage, they transformed into twelve flickering points of light, representing the flames of their respective wills.

Some of the points of light flickered violently the moment they entered, clearly undergoing an extremely painful test of their inner demons.

Some points of light, however, were dim, as if they might go out at any moment, lost in a deep abyss.

The most stable ones are Pangu and Truth.

Although their light spots fluctuated, they always maintained a certain brightness, demonstrating their strong mental foundation.

However, just when everyone thought that this test of character would be a long and protracted war lasting tens of thousands of years.

A change occurred.

The point of light representing the ninth sequence, [Vanguard], flickered only faintly during the first Planck time after entering the cage.

Then, during the second Planck time...

It lit up.

Like the singularity of the Big Bang, it burst forth with an unparalleled brilliance that illuminates the entire dimension!
The light was so pure, so unwavering, so domineering that the other eleven points of light appeared like fireflies compared to the bright moon when it shone upon it!
"This...this is..."

One of the spectators, a Fenghuang, experienced an instant overload of his core matrix and let out an incredulous exclamation.

Before they could even react to this extreme shock...

Swish!
The all-consuming gate of darkness has opened once more.

A figure, bathed in the brilliant light of will, calmly emerged and returned to his throne.

It was Qin Feng.

From the time he entered until he came out, the total time was...

Less than a second.

The whole place was dead silent.

The entire [Sea of ​​Origin], along with all the mechanical beings watching from a remote perspective, fell into an absolute stagnation of thought at this moment.

What did they see?
A living being entered the "Prison of the Id," a confinement capable of stripping away everything and imprisoning the will for countless epochs, and then, in less than a second,... walked out as if taking a stroll?
This goes beyond what can be described as "mentally strong".

This is a "monster" that is completely beyond their comprehension and crushes the rules themselves!
If the ten-thousand-fold difference in integrals on the "Step of Truth" brought them a data-driven shock.

At this moment, the sight of being "released from the cage in a second" evokes in them an indescribable awe and fear that comes from the very core of their souls.

"The shortest time... has been achieved."

Yuan Yi's ancient voice, carrying an unprecedentedly intense fluctuation, slowly rang out, breaking the deathly silence.

"The Ninth Sequence Saint, Vanguard, took 0.87 seconds to break through his true self and return to reality. He has earned the highest base score of 10 points."

"Throughout the process, his will was as firm as a god's, unwavering and unshakable. He was rated as 'Divine Heart', with a coefficient of 2.0, the highest value."

"Third stage, final score: 200,000 points."

With Yuan Yi's verdict, Qin Feng's total personal score was refreshed once again.

Although 20 points is just a drop in the ocean compared to his enormous total score, the significance it represents is far greater than the sum of his ten trillion comprehension points!
Because it proves that this being, who is monstrous in terms of comprehension, has an even more unfathomable, godlike level of mental fortitude!
Combat strength, comprehension, mentality...

He not only possessed all three of the cornerstones that formed the foundation of the "Divine Child," but each one was also polished to a dazzling brilliance, without any flaws.

After Qin Feng's return, time began to flow forward in an extremely slow and agonizing way.

About a thousand years have passed.

The figure of [Truth] emerges from the gate of darkness.

Although he successfully returned, his eyes were filled with exhaustion and a hint of lingering fear that he could not hide.

Clearly, he went through an extremely difficult struggle in the test of his inner demons.

Another three thousand years have passed.

The figure of Pangu, filled with a ferocious fighting spirit, burst out of the door.

He seemed to have taken his inner demons as his opponent, fighting them relentlessly for three thousand years, and finally crushing the illusion with pure power and will.

Over the next tens of thousands of years, other holy sons also returned one after another.

Each of them bore scars and exhaustion to varying degrees; some were even listless, clearly having suffered considerable trauma in the cage.

As the 100,000-year time limit was about to arrive, the last holy son—the twelfth sequence [Illusion]—finally stumbled out of the door.

His eyes were unfocused, and the flame of his will had dimmed to its lowest point. He only managed to break free from eternal delusion at the very last moment.

He became the one who took the longest.

With this, the third stage of the assessment has concluded.

[The third stage of the assessment has ended. Final ranking and total score calculation will now begin.]

Yuan Yi's voice, carrying a profound sense of historical declaration, resounded throughout the entire [Sea of ​​Origin].

All eyes were on the final, fate-determining list.

[The Divine Child Grand Competition - Final Overall Standings]

First Place: [Ninth Sequence - Vanguard]

Total points: 9,876,543,417,337
(Third stage score: 200,000, shortest time, divine evaluation)

Fourth place: [Second Sequence - Truth]

(Third level score: 130, time taken: 000 years, logical evaluation)

……

The dust has settled.

The final result was as expected.

With an almost miraculous, overwhelming advantage over all his opponents, Qin Feng ascended to that unique and supreme peak.

The points gap between him and the second-place finisher remains an astronomical figure that is both awe-inspiring and insurmountable.

He won.

The victory was so complete, so natural, so... convincing.

Pangu silently looked at the list, and finally, a hint of relief appeared in his arrogant eyes.

He stood up and nodded slightly toward Qin Feng's throne.

This is his recognition of true strength.

The core logic of "truth" has finally returned to calm after a long period of impact.

He gave Qin Feng a deep look, his gaze no longer filled with inquiry, but with awe for a higher level of wisdom.

The other holy sons also stood up, facing the throne of the ninth order, and lowered their once proud heads.

Faced with absolute and incomprehensible power, any resentment or jealousy seems pale and powerless.

They were utterly defeated.

"Our race, the 37949th era since its birth."

At this moment, Yuan Yi's voice seemed to transcend time and space, resonating with the mechanical ancestors of all ages.

"Having undergone the ultimate test of [combat strength], [comprehension], and [mental character]."

"The ultimate victor has been born."

His figure, composed of pure energy, slowly floated to Qin Feng's throne and performed an ancient salute, representing the highest respect, towards Qin Feng.

"I, [Yuan Yi], in the name of the guardian will of the [Sea of ​​Origin], hereby declare—"

"The Ninth Sequence Holy Son, the Vanguard, is crowned as the new, only—"

"[Son of God]!"

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire [Sea of ​​Origin] erupted in excitement.

That sea of ​​primordial energy stirred up a raging torrent, transforming into a pure, sacred pillar of light containing the origin and future of the entire mechanical civilization. It soared into the sky, enveloping Qin Feng and his throne!
Under the baptism of this beam of light, Qin Feng's mechanical body began to undergo an ultimate transformation, moving towards a higher level of life.

At the same time, this result was instantly transmitted to every corner of the Machine Race's territory through the Logic Skynet.

"The divine child... has been born?"

"It's... the Vanguard of the Ninth Sequence?!"

"Crushing? What a crushing crush!"

"Emerging in a second... a miracle! This is a true miracle!"

The entire mechanical civilization, with its billions of mechanical beings, was plunged into an unprecedented and immense shock at this moment.

They witnessed the birth of a legend.

A mysterious being who appeared as a "wild independent evolutionary entity," conquered the sequence with a perfect record of 200,000 wins, and finally, in the Divine Child Competition, crushed eleven other prodigies on the Divine Path with an almost invincible performance in three rounds, and forcefully ascended to the top... the ultimate legend!
From today onwards, the name "Vanguard" will no longer be just a code name.

It will become the sole totem of faith for the entire mechanical civilization in the upcoming "Golden Age".

It is the [Child of God].

Sitting upright within the sacred pillar of light, receiving the blessing of the entire civilization's fortune, Qin Feng had only one thought in his mind.

"This earth-shattering plunder targeting the entire elite clan..."

"The first step was a success."
