The Age of Gods: My Entry is Updated Daily

The ascent continues.

Not disappointing the people of Kunlun Academy, Li Tianren maintained his extremely fast and steady pace, climbing step by step towards the top of the white jade staircase.

The remaining twenty-nine great talents of the Great Xia Dynasty have now become his background figures.

Everyone has forgotten his appalling performance in the first two games.

All I remember is this moment!

This man!

He will trample the top geniuses of the three universities under his feet!

"A miracle... has occurred!"

"Three hundred floors! Three hundred floors! Li Tianren's speed is still increasing!"

"Su Feng'er from Kyushu University slowed down on the 130th floor, and Lu Sheng has just passed the 200th floor. How can Li Tianren be so fast?"

Why is he expressionless?

Viewers across planets watching the live stream fell into deep thought.

Above the [Ascension Staircase to Godhood], whether it was the third-tier demigod slowly climbing at the very back, or the Su sisters, Qin Baisheng and other fourth-tier demigods...

Which one of them wasn't flushed and drenched in sweat?

Even worse, under the immense pressure of physical and mental strain, their faces contorted, they lay prostrate on the ground, using all four limbs, just to climb one more level on the "steps to godhood."

Even Lu Sheng, who had swept aside the two universities in the first two matches, began to look serious after stepping onto the 200th floor.

Why does Li Tianren remain expressionless throughout?

Not a trace of seriousness appeared on his face, nor a single drop of sweat.

just like……

The pressure from the [Ascending the Divine Stairs] was not enough to elicit even the slightest reaction from him!

How is that possible?!

Countless people watched in awe as Li Tianren walked up step by step.

On the judges' stage.

The judges exchanged glances, each seeing the seriousness in the other's eyes.

"You discovered it?"

"You noticed it too?"

"How could I not notice? This is the three hundredth level of the [Ascension to Godhood] Path. Even if I suppressed my strength to the level of a fifth-rank demigod and went through it again, it would never be so easy."

A female deity dressed in red chuckled disdainfully.

If they are only slightly ahead of the others, they may not even realize it.

But what's the situation now?

He's likely to break the history of the Great Xia Championship and become the fastest person to reach the top in history!

And it's not just a little bit faster, it's much, much faster!

"Based on his performance in the first two games, it's impossible for him to have achieved this. Could it be that he was holding back before?"

"Heh... If you were hiding your true abilities earlier, why show them off at the end?"

"But the [Ascension to Godhood Staircase] can seal off all external objects and forces, and it has never failed in thousands of years. How could Li Tianren, a fourth-stage demigod, possibly break through the seal of such a divine artifact?"

"Old Jiang, this is your sacred object. Can you see anything unusual about it?"

The group discussed among themselves using their divine senses. As they talked, they all turned their attention to the leader of this Great Xia Championship, the military-uniformed True God in the middle.

Jiang Yi.

The other party is the owner of the divine artifact—the [Ascension to Godhood Steps], so naturally they can sense the state of the thirty geniuses inside better than others.

They could all sense the anomaly; Jiang Yi couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

"【Ascending the Divine Stairs】Without warning, Li Tianren did not use any external objects or forces."

Jiang Yi stared at the figure far ahead on the light screen and said something indifferently.

But then he changed the subject and continued, "However, even so, it doesn't mean that Li Tianren is without any problems."

"Oh? What do you mean?" The others looked over curiously.

"The [Ascension to Godhood] is a divine artifact designed to trap enemies, and its trials are multi-dimensional. However, under my control, this year's trial is focused on the spiritual level."

"So what?" Everyone frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Just now, I secretly increased the divine pressure around Li Tianren, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to make any waves."

Jiang Yi held the teacup in his right hand, slowly blew on it, and said with certainty, "This person has a serious problem with his soul!"

"A soul? How is that possible!?"

A valiant male deity suddenly raised his voice: "The soul is the only thing bound to a god. Once the soul is damaged, even if one survives by chance, one will inevitably be reduced to a mortal body."

The other judges nodded in agreement.

In the age of gods, there was no possibility of successfully possessing another's body.

Li Tianren, now standing atop the [Stairway to Godhood], exudes a divine aura, clearly indicating that his divine nature is complete.

It is definitely him, without a doubt.

"I never said he wasn't Li Tianren."

Jiang Yi finished his tea in one gulp and said slowly, "But there's definitely something wrong with his soul. Something, or someone, is helping him resist the pressure from the [Ascension to Godhood]."

The red-clad deity suggested, "Should we stop the match and investigate Li Tianren?"

As the highest-level competition for prodigies in the country, the Great Xia Championship is a contest where even top-tier prodigies who cheat will be punished.

"The rules cannot be broken."

Jiang Yi shook his head: "No matter what, Li Tianren is a top-tier genius of Great Xia. If we want to investigate, we must obtain the approval of the highest intelligent life form in Great Xia."

"Even if he cheated, we can't act rashly before approval is granted."

"Let's see. I've already submitted the application materials to the highest intelligent life form in Great Xia, and I should receive a reply soon."

"Hmm, Elder Jiang is indeed a man who has presided over thousands of competitions; he is indeed composed." The red-robed deity nodded.

"It's reassuring to host the competition alongside Mr. Jiang."

The others nodded, relieved, and looked at the light screen in front of them again.

.........

[Ascending the Divine Stairs] 400th level.

"Kid, you're moving too fast right now, you're attracting too much attention."

Seeing Li Tianren walking faster and faster, even starting to jog, the other soul in his mind finally couldn't help but remind him.

Regardless of the number of levels, the pressure of the [Ascension to Godhood Stairs] was like a feather to him, utterly insignificant.

But he had a vague sense of unease.

"It's alright."

Li Tianren thought to himself nonchalantly, "The better I perform, the more likely I am to attract the attention of the higher-ups in the Great Xia government, and the rewards I'll receive will be incredibly generous!"

"If I could break history and become the number one genius of Great Xia, I would have everything—high-level buildings, high-level resources…"

"Perhaps we can even obtain a divine artifact to heal your injuries!"

"Don't you want to recover sooner?"

The other soul in his mind fell silent upon hearing this, as if in agreement.

Don't worry!

"This time, I will take back everything I've lost!"

Li Tianren was filled with fervor. He continued to look up at the towering staircase ahead, and his movements became even faster.

Behind him, even the fastest, Lu Sheng, had only just reached the 250th floor.

The two present a stark contrast!

Just like someone who was instantly defeated in the competition two days ago...

It wasn't Li Tianren, but Lu Sheng.
