Chapter 1282 Arrogance

As Su Ping's thoughts drifted to the Golden Crow Clan, many people in the hall noticed that the human youth seemed somewhat lost in thought as everyone stared at him.

This wasn't a sign of nervousness or losing control; rather, it was... excessive relaxation.

"interesting."

A smile crept across the lips of one of the divine emperors, who felt increasingly that this human prodigy was somewhat mysterious and strange.

At this moment, a mentor from the institute came up to them and led the way for Chan Lao and Su Ping.

The two arrived at the top of the main hall, where nine elders were seated. In addition to the five elders who had previously watched the Daoist's challenge, there were four more. The remaining elders were either in seclusion or held important positions and could not leave.

"Bestow identity plaques," the elder who had been presiding over the ceremony outside whispered.

His voice was soft, but his words carried throughout the entire hall.

A crack appeared in the void, and a pair of slender, fair hands emerged from them. The hands alone were breathtakingly beautiful. When they opened, a purple aura-rich identity plaque was revealed.

Su Ping took the nameplate and quickly realized that it was also a divine artifact.

After Su Ping put away his identity badge, the elders took turns bestowing treasures upon him.

There were weapons, armor, divine ships, and rare divine medicines. It seemed that the elders had discussed among themselves that the functions of the treasures they gave away were not duplicated.

Su Ping was somewhat surprised, not expecting that simply becoming a Dao Child would bring him so many good things.

Each treasure here would cause countless disputes if taken outside. After all, the elders are all powerful experts at the Divine Emperor Realm, and they did not hold back their skills towards Su Ping, the Dao Child, and the items they gave him were extremely rare.

Su Ping thanked them one by one and memorized the faces of these elders, hoping to repay their kindness in the future.

After the ceremony, Su Ping followed the elders and learned some things about the Dao Child, and also obtained the divine peak where he could cultivate alone as a Dao Child.

Although he had never been to Shenfeng, Su Ping guessed that it must be a top-tier cultivation secret realm.

As the process progressed, Su Ping gradually realized how precious this Dao Child's identity was. Almost all of the Heavenly Dao Academy's resources were open to the Dao Child for free. The Dao Child could freely enter many secret realms, divine libraries, and so on. He could also freely choose some of the top-grade divine beasts raised by the Heavenly Dao Academy. Although the number was limited, it was definitely enough to meet the Dao Child's own needs.

As the elders spoke, Su Ping clearly felt that the eyes of the mentors in the hall had become fiery.

Daozi's status and authority within the academy surpassed those of his mentors.

Students who perform exceptionally well have the opportunity to become mentors after graduation, but very few become mentors.

After the ceremony was completely over, the various factions inside the hall could no longer contain themselves and began to speak.

"I am from the Baichuan Divine Clan of Tianmu Divine Continent. Daozi, would you be interested in joining my clan's Tianhui Palace and becoming its vice palace master? You will have the right to enjoy all the resources of Tianhui Palace!" A Divine Emperor immediately stood up and extended an invitation to Su Ping with a sincere expression. This surprised Su Ping once again, and he also realized that his identity was indeed different from before.

These powerful God-Emperors acted this way simply because they believed he could also become a God-Emperor in the future.

At this moment, the cost of winning over a God-Emperor is far less than that of winning over a true God-Emperor powerhouse.

Moreover, true God-Emperor level experts all have their own families and need to serve their families.

However, Su Ping is different from other Daoists. The race behind him is too weak. Even if Su Ping wants to serve his race, he is currently in a state of "nursing and feeding," which the human race cannot afford. Even if they could afford it, it would be better to receive resources from other races at this time.

"Tianhui Palace is nothing more than a second-rate power. Even if it enjoys all the resources, it's nothing special." A woman with a graceful figure stood up, her aura forming a divine domain that was isolated from the void inside the hall. She seemed to be in this hall, but in reality, she was in another time and world.

"Daozi, I am the Lord of the Crimson Sky Domain of the Northern Warehouse Divine Continent. If you are willing, you can not only become the Vice Lord of my Crimson Sky Domain, second only to me in status, but also obtain the unique Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire of my Crimson Sky Domain!"

"Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire?" Su Ping asked curiously, looking at Toad Elder beside him.

Old Toad immediately understood Su Ping's meaning and immediately transmitted his voice to him, saying, "This is one of the top-tier weapon-refining divine flames, which can only be found in the Crimson Fire Dome Domain. This flame can not only refine weapons but also refine the body. It is a flame left over from the Chaos Era, and even for a God Emperor Realm expert, it is a rare treasure."

Su Ping was stunned. He hadn't expected it to be a treasure of this caliber. This Lord of the Crimson Sky Domain was quite generous.

The other God-Emperors were clearly stunned by this woman. Their previously enthusiastic figures fell silent. Obviously, if Su Ping wasn't stupid, he would undoubtedly choose the Crimson Sky Domain Lord compared to the conditions they had.

"Human Daoist, I am Li Luo, a member of the Divine Clan."

At this moment, a tall and handsome god-emperor slowly spoke, with a smile on his face and composure: "If you are willing, I can entrust you with the position of deputy hall master of my clan's Thousand Shadows Palace. At the same time, your human race can become a core vassal race of my clan. All the people in your clan can enter my clan's holy land to cultivate and enjoy the same resources and treatment as my clan's third-class gods."

"Furthermore, you will receive a special investiture from my clan, granting you a status equivalent to our clan's divine son!"

"Are you willing?"

He smiled at Su Ping, his expression confident.

Many people in the hall showed surprise, not expecting that the Li Luo Divine Clan would make a move to compete for Su Ping, and with such generous terms.

Su Ping noticed the extraordinary nature of the other person from the gazes of the others and looked at Elder Chan with a questioning expression.

The Old Toad remained calm and transmitted his voice, saying, "The Li Luo Divine Clan is one of the seven great divine clans of the Divine Realm. It has two ancestral gods, surpassing other high-ranking divine clans, including the Lin Clan who are hunting you down! If you could join the Li Luo Divine Clan, I believe the Lin Clan would dare not retaliate against you again. Of course, given your current status and identity, the Lin Clan would also dare not provoke you!"

"As for the Thousand Shadows Palace, it is a major force under the Li Luo God Clan and a renowned assassination temple in the God Realm, filled with top assassins."

"If you become the deputy hall master of the Thousand Shadows Hall, your connections, income, and the power you wield will all pose a terrible threat."

Su Ping nodded, surprised that the other party was one of the seven great divine races. No wonder the others had such expressions.

"Senior, are there any other benefits?" Su Ping looked at the other party and asked directly.

Many people were surprised to hear Su Ping's words, but considering that Su Ping was a Dao Child of the Heavenly Dao Academy and a genius on the Chaos Ranking, it was normal for him to have such a calm and composed attitude.

Other Daoists would not have been flustered or trembling in front of the God Emperor either.

"What else do you want?" the God Emperor of the Li Luo Clan asked with a smile.

"Cultivation resources," Su Ping said. "The Thousand Shadow Palace is good, but apart from the Lin Clan, I don't have any enemies. The Thousand Shadow Palace obviously won't wipe out the Lin Clan for me. At most, they'll cause them some minor pain. So, I need cultivation resources that can enhance my own cultivation. For example, the Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire that the Crimson Sky Domain Lord just mentioned is very attractive."

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, the graceful Crimson Sky Domain Lord beside him raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement and smugness in her eyes.

The Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire in her hands was indeed a treasure coveted by all factions in the divine realm.

Su Ping's words caused many people to show strange expressions. Su Ping's affair with the Lin Clan was already an open secret, but no one expected that Su Ping would say it so openly. This was tantamount to openly declaring that he was an enemy of the Lin Clan, which was, after all, a high-ranking divine clan!

However, considering Su Ping's past grievances with the Lin clan, it seems that there is no difference whether he talks about it or not.

"The Thousand Shadow Palace is not the most precious thing to you." The God Emperor of the Li Luo Clan's smile faded slightly as he stared at Su Ping and said, "Our clan does not possess divine objects like the Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire, which is unique in the God Realm. However, the status that our clan has given you, comparable to that of a God Child, as well as the quota of a core subordinate race, are things that even divine objects cannot buy."

Su Ping finally understood. He wasn't angry; instead, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

In their view, bestowing upon him a status comparable to that of a divine child, along with a spot in a subordinate race, would allow him to compete with the Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire.

What arrogance!

He had experienced such arrogance from the Lin clan and from other divine clans, but he never expected that one of the seven great divine clans before him would also possess such arrogance.

Su Ping finally understood that the Lin Clan was not special; the entire God Realm was like that.

Even in a place like the Heavenly Dao Academy, which is a melting pot of various races and highly inclusive, he could still sense the arrogance of those high-ranking divine race students, though it wasn't as obvious or intense.

"I'm sorry, I'd like to think about it some more." Su Ping wasn't angry; she simply declined calmly and tactfully.

He found that he was no longer angered by the arrogance of the gods.

Upon hearing Su Ping's refusal, the God Emperor of the Li Luo Clan's eyes shifted slightly. He clearly hadn't expected this outcome. In his view, the conditions he offered were so generous that Su Ping couldn't refuse. Originally, some members of the clan had suggested bestowing a goddess upon Su Ping for marriage, or even helping Su Ping change his bloodline and become a member of their Li Luo Clan, but that suggestion was rejected.

Many people believe that it would be beneath the dignity of the Li Luo Divine Clan to offer such treatment, which is merely to make someone a Dao Child, and that breaking their bloodline would damage their reputation.

"Then would you be willing to join our Crimson Sky Domain?" The graceful domain lord beside her asked hastily, her eyes sparkling with interest.

She was genuinely worried that Su Ping would agree to the Li Luo Clan's request.

After all, there are billions of races in the divine realm, but only seven are at the very top of the pyramid.

Countless races and countless lives dream of having even the slightest connection with these seven great families.

Even some members of the high-ranking divine race have fantasized about changing their bloodline to become one of the seven great divine races. This seems to be a kind of obsession brought about by long-term class solidification.

Su Ping's ability to refuse the Li Luo Clan relieved her, but also brought her great joy.
