The process of deification began with the discovery of hidden information in divine objects.

"Midnight! Awesome! Incredible! Midnight is amazing!"

Zhang Fengmian excitedly hugged Su Ziye tightly.

He looked even more excited than when he himself was baptized.

35 points is not an outstanding score, but you have to know that Su Ziye's previous scores had never exceeded 10 points!

The highest score was only 8 points, and divinity below 10 points can almost be considered non-existent.

It hasn't been long, and the score has already risen to 35 points.

It's nothing short of a miracle. Even the Chosen One Potion couldn't do that, yet it costs a whopping 200,000!

Zhang Fengmian knew about Su Ziye's family's difficulties; they couldn't even come up with 20,000, let alone 200,000!

Besides being declared a miracle, what other explanation is there?

"How is this possible? Last time it was 8 points, how could it be 35 points this time? There must be something wrong with the test results."

"Could this be the effect of a high-grade potion?"

"Impossible. To increase such a massive amount of divinity, only a Chosen One series or higher potion could achieve that, and those things cost hundreds of thousands. Isn't Su Ziye a poor student? Where would he get the money to buy a potion worth hundreds of thousands?"

"Is it really a miracle? But he has always studied very hard and his academic grades are good. I'm not jealous of him. After all, hard work pays off."

"This is truly a life-changing moment! With Su Ziye's academic performance, finding a job related to miracles and earning over ten thousand yuan a month shouldn't be difficult. I'm so envious!"

"Earning over 10,000 yuan a month is simply my dream!"

Su Ziye was also pleasantly surprised, and he unconsciously touched the eye.

With just a little bit of divinity, he had already crossed the threshold of passing. Doesn't that mean... if he had another chance to obtain these things, he might really become... a servant of the gods?

Even...possessing divine artifacts and becoming a truly great figure in this world?

For the first time, ambition began to sprout in my heart.

Even in the era of Godfall, most people just wanted to live a peaceful life, and the meaning of their efforts was to make life a little better.

Find a good partner, buy a house, buy a car, and enjoy a simple, ordinary life. Not everyone pursues becoming a superior person; that possibility is too far-fetched.

The world is so vast; how high do we stand to truly be considered high?

For ordinary people, everything they do is for the sake of making a living.

But Su Ziye knew that income and wages were always worthless in the face of power.

Only strength can control one's own destiny. A person who has been battered by fate too many times will gladly accept any opportunity to change their fate, even if it means falling into the abyss.

Only strength can change one's destiny and transcend social class!

"These eyes... I must make good use of them!"

We accept our fate because we have no other choice!

People who have choices will not accept their fate!

"Su Ziye, congratulations."

Wang Yiwei was genuinely happy for the young man in front of him.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

The testing is still ongoing. Of the 42 people in the class, 21 have a divinity score of 30 or higher, which is exactly half the total.

Of these twenty-one people, only two had a divine attribute score exceeding 70!

One was Zhang Fengmian, and the other was Chen Yingying, a girl with fair skin, braided hair, and a delicate, demure appearance.

There are twelve regular classes and three elite classes in the senior year. At most, no more than fifty students from the regular classes will be eligible for baptism.

That shows how difficult it is!

"Alright, test over."

"Don't be too sad, everyone. Fate deals its cards, but it won't completely block your path. You have a long life ahead of you, and there will be many more opportunities in the future."

"The absence of divinity does not mean mediocrity. Nothing in this world is 100% certain, so we must continue to strive for self-improvement."

Wang Yiwei comforted them, but most people weren't very interested.

There is certainly no 100% certainty, but there is a 99.9% certainty that without divinity, changing one's fate is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"Alright, next up is the divine artifact sensing segment. Come up and take a look. There are 321 artifacts unearthed from Pit 2 of Yinxu this time. They were divided among the classes, and so far, not a single divine artifact has been found."

Wang Yiwei pulled back the dust cover and placed the artifact on the ground.

"You should all step forward and try to sense it. Regardless of how much divinity you possess, you can give it a try."

He beckoned the crowd to gather around.

There are eighteen artifacts inside.

An old tortoise shell, a mottled bone fragment, a small tower, a broken bell, and a piece of charred wood all exude an ancient charm.

Besides, the other items will appear to be in better condition and will be significantly larger in size.

Wang Yiwei's attention was focused on Zhang Fengmian and Chen Yingying, since they were the two with the highest divinity.

Unfortunately, after everyone sensed for twenty minutes, there was still no movement from this batch of cultural relics.

This left Wang Yiwei somewhat disappointed.

"The first class is having a test lesson now. Judging by the time, it should be time for the sensing part. They're right in front."

"Sigh, if this batch of cultural relics doesn't even produce a single divine artifact, then the school will have no choice but to spend money to see if they can buy one from other districts."

"Otherwise, things will get complicated once the two divine artifacts are depleted."

Not far away, Xu Lu, the principal, and two other school leaders walked toward the playground.

The principal sighed and looked worried the whole way.

Without the divine object, the school can't continue operating, and the instructions from above won't be met. In that case, the entire management team will be dismissed and replaced, and his time as principal will be over.

On the surface, he is the principal of the only high school in the South District, and he enjoys great prestige wherever he goes, but in reality, he also bears a lot of pressure to meet performance targets.

Every year, at least ten junior college students are sent to higher education institutions. And that's junior college!

It's not like it's cabbage; it's not that easy to pass the exam.

Of the 20 people who receive the baptism of the divine object, it would be good if even one of them could get into a junior college.

Only the core disciples of the three major families are capable of getting into a junior college!

Bring glory to your ancestors!

Xu Lu led the principal to Wang Yiwei, who shook his head helplessly.

"No, still none."

Upon hearing this, the principal's face became even more gloomy.

"Scholar Sun, when these artifacts were unearthed, the person in charge of Yinxu had already inspected them. They only sold them to us at a low price after confirming that there were no divine objects among them. The probability of finding divine objects with these artifacts is already low. You get what you pay for."

The vice principal advised.

Sun Yelin glanced at him.

"You mean I'm greedy for a bargain?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant we should lower our expectations..."

"Hmph, the Ministry of Education stipulates that each school in the four major regions is given two divine objects at the beginning of its establishment. After the divine power is exhausted, we have to find them ourselves, otherwise the management will be dismissed. Our Qingye High School sends the fewest talents to junior colleges every year among the four high schools! So the Ministry of Education's funding is naturally the least."

"Now you want to spend a fortune to buy divine artifacts from outside? Why don't we just use your salary instead? Would you be willing to do that?"

The vice principal's face darkened, and he shook his head repeatedly.

"If you're unwilling, and I'm unwilling, who's going to pay for it? Will it be deducted from everyone's wages?"

"Stop eating? Stop supporting your families? Stop cultivating?"

The vice-principal remained silent, terrified. The principal was in a fit of anger, and he dared not utter a word in response.

The head of the teaching department also stood quietly to the side without saying a word.

"Teacher Wang, how did the divinity test go?"

Xu Lu asked with some concern, after all, she was the homeroom teacher and needed to report directly to her superiors.

"Two with a divine score of 70 or above, 21 with a score of 30 or above, and the rest are not good enough and have to switch to social services."

"Is that so..."

Xu Lu was somewhat disappointed; the result wasn't bad, but it wasn't outstanding either.

"By the way, which two have a divinity score of 70 or higher?"

"Anyone who got 80 points?"

"No, Zhang Fengmian got 71 points, and Chen Yingying got 75 points."

"However... what surprised me was that Su Ziye... he actually scored 35 points, whereas he only scored 8 points in the last test."

"Su Ziye, 35 points?"

Xu Lu was also taken aback.

"His improvement is so rapid, what kind of potion did he take? No, his family shouldn't be able to afford the potion."

"The same thing happened in the last class. He clearly wasn't paying attention, but he remembered everything I said perfectly. Has this kid... finally figured it out?"

Xu Lu's gaze fell on Su Ziye in the crowd. Su Ziye and Zhang Fengmian were picking through the pile of cultural relics, having a great time.

They were unaware of Xu Lu's arrival.

"Huh, what's this...?"

Su Ziye was taken aback, and a pale blue light reappeared before his eyes.

[Item: Charred lightning-struck wood / Lightning-struck wood that was once punished by lightning magic]

[Effect: Cleanses the body with lightning]

[Awakening Condition: Punish one act of wrongdoing]

It was a piece of charred wood, so black that its species was almost unrecognizable, and it was covered in mud, but...

Under his observation, it was like a precious jewel draped in the glow of the sunset, and Su Ziye's eyes lit up.
