The Age of Gods: My Entry is Updated Daily

the next day.

Kunlun Academy, Martial Arts Arena.

"In the third round of the Great Xia Championship, as before, the thirty prodigies will enter the divine artifact, the [Ascension Staircase], to ascend!"

"Here, you cannot use any external objects, you cannot use any laws, you can only climb upwards by your own will."

"There are a total of 999 floors. For each floor you pass, you will receive a basic reward of 100 million strands of divinity, and each judge will score you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge beam of light enveloped the thirty contestants on the competition stage, instantly pulling them into another space.

Upon landing, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

Before them stood a white jade ladder radiating nine-colored divine light, its surface seemingly shimmering with flowing starlight.

Rising diagonally from the earth, piercing through the clouds, and soaring straight into the depths of the sky.

Majestic, ancient, magnificent... none of these words combined are enough to describe the grandeur and magnificence of ascending the Divine Stairs at this moment!

"As expected of the most prestigious competition in the Great Xia Dynasty, each level contains a hundred million strands of divine essence. No wonder it's called the hall of dreams for countless geniuses!"

Lu Sheng stared at the long white jade staircase in front of him, and sighed inwardly.

If he had joined Fangtian University back then, how would he have had the opportunity to obtain so many resources, and even become a disciple of a top deity of the Great Xia Dynasty?

How can one participate in such a top-level competition?

Effort is important, that's undeniable.

But sometimes, making a good choice is even more important!

"The third match has begun, and there is no time limit!"

"Give it your all and climb higher!"

As a distant, resounding voice drifted in from the horizon, the thirty students snapped out of their shock and stepped onto the [Ascension Steps] one after another.

"Lu Sheng!"

Not far away, Li Tianren's eyes flickered, and he silently repeated the other person's name in his heart before turning around and resolutely stepping forward.

He walked slowly, but steadily.

On the other side, Su Feng'er and Su Ling'er also walked hand in hand up the steps to the Divine Ascension, passing by others and quickly reaching the front.

Seeing that everyone around him had gone up, Lu Sheng looked at Qin Baisheng, who was calm and composed, and reminded him:

"Brother Qin, aren't you leaving yet?"

"Hehe... the protagonist always appears last." Qin Baisheng crossed his arms and replied casually.

After a night of reflection, he has regained his confidence.

A man who does not aspire to great heights is wasting his life!

Whether he wins or loses, it's not really that important to him.

As long as the process is exciting, that's enough!

Isn't it quite interesting to live in the same era as such a formidable rival and even compete with him?

"Brother Qin, then I'll take my leave now."

Lu Sheng smiled helplessly, turned around and stepped into the [Ascension Staircase].

He's gotten used to it by now.

If Qin Baisheng did this occasionally, he would think the other party was pretentious.

But Qin Baisheng took this attitude as a daily routine, adhering to this principle no matter when or where, which made him think the other party was quite unique.

Buzz! ...

As Lu Shenggang stepped onto the first step, an unimaginable pressure descended upon him.

This was like Mount Tai crushing an egg, squeezing in from all directions!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Moreover, this aura penetrated directly to the essence of his soul, bypassing his skin and flesh, passing through his meridians, and entering the depths of Lu Sheng's spiritual consciousness.

At the same time, within his small world, an inexplicable divine power descended upon heaven and earth, spreading to all his people.

"What...is this?"

"My God forgive me, my God forgive me!"

"This is a test from the gods! Everyone, activate your cultivation techniques and work together to resist this oppressive force!"

Under the adjustment of the heavens, people from all the major forces within the small world began to do their utmost to circulate their cultivation techniques and resist the divine power from the heavens.

"Phew...not bad."

Relying on the powerful foundation of his divine kingdom, Lu Sheng recovered from the discomfort after only a moment's pause.

The Ascension Staircase truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier divine artifact. It not only suppresses the physical body and soul but also directly influences the small world of the gods.

At the same time, it is unable to communicate with the source of the laws within its body, nor can it materialize items from its small world, effectively isolating itself from all means of control outside of its divine nature.

"I heard that the [Ascension to Godhood Staircase] was originally a divine artifact used to trap enemies on a large scale. However, after being developed layer by layer, it was discovered that it had a miraculous effect in testing geniuses, so it was used as a prop in the Great Xia Championship."

"Having seen it today, I can confirm its reputation is well-deserved!"

Lu Sheng glanced at the crowd in front of him.

None of the geniuses present were ordinary people; they were only at the beginning of the "Ascension to Godhood" process, so none of them were under much pressure.

In particular, the Su sisters, Li Tianren, Bu Zou, and other fourth-level demigods moved with steady and rapid steps, quickly putting a distance between themselves and the main group.

In just a short while, they had already climbed more than a dozen steps.

"I should hurry up too."

With this in mind, Lu Sheng quickly set off towards the main force ahead.

.........

Outside, in the audience seats.

"Ugh, this kind of competition where you already know who's going to win!"

"Yes, we originally thought that with Su Feng'er and Su Ling'er from the Su family and Li Tianren from our academy participating this year, it would at least be a fierce competition. Who would have thought..."

"Not necessarily. The [Ascension to Godhood] tests more than just strength. Although Lu Sheng's personal strength is ridiculously strong, he may not be able to go far on this path."

“…………”

"Yes, yes, you're right. I also tend to comfort myself like that when I'm at my wit's end."

"Instead of hoping someone from our academy will win first place, how about we guess whether Lu Sheng can break the historical record of the Great Xia Championship?"

"Throughout history, it seems only a handful of people have ever reached the summit, right?"

The onlookers chimed in with their own comments, but they were mostly discussing whether Lu Sheng could reach the top and how long it would take if he did.

There was no way around it; Lu Sheng's pressure in the first two matches was simply too overwhelming.

Even those who are most confident in their school's geniuses are uncertain at this moment.

"Look, Li Tianren is already in first place, and he's climbing the stairs even faster than Lu Sheng!"

Just then, an unusual gasp erupted from the audience.

Only then did everyone realize that the contestants who were originally in the first tier had all begun to slow down under the pressure after the number of floors exceeded fifty.

Only Li Tianren!

The speed did not decrease at all, and even showed a slight tendency to continue to accelerate!

"How is that possible!?"

Whether they were spectators inside Kunlun Academy or ordinary citizens of Great Xia who were also following the event, a huge question arose in their minds at this moment.

Why him?

Why him?
